Ancient Invasion [End Times]

The 120th and eighth day after the invasion·【Second update】Sandstorm and Survivors

"Seriously, where are we now?" Lin Qian asked aloud.

In front of them is the endless road and the Gobi Desert. Even the vegetation seems to be unwilling to grow here, and the eyes are all yellow and lifeless.

Xu Ying pointed to an off-road vehicle that was thrown on the road not far away, and said, "Let's see what's going on over there first, maybe there are survivors."

Lin Qian glanced at the off-road car. Even after a distance of more than 200 meters, he could still see clearly the window of the off-road car, which had long been covered by loess sand.

He didn't think there would be any living people on that off-road vehicle, but he didn't pour cold water on it. He nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll go and have a look."

"I'll go with you." Du Nanrong said, "If the car breaks down, maybe I can fix it."

Lin Qian nodded.

The two approached the off-road vehicle.

"This is a land cruiser." Du Nanrong looked around and said, "It has good performance, especially suitable for off-roading in the desert."

Lin Qian heard the words and said, "Maybe someone traveling by car."

He turned around the off-road vehicle, and both the side windows and the front and rear windshields were completely covered by yellow sand, making it impossible to see clearly what was going on inside the vehicle.

He walked to the door of the cab, looked at Du Nanrong and said, "Du Gong, cover me."

Du Nanrong responded, holding the gun in his hand, aiming the infrared light in the direction of the car window.

Lin Qian counted down to three in a low voice, and slammed the car door open.

An infected person was tied to the driver's seat by a seat belt and could not move. He could only open his hand towards Lin Qian and let out a "ho ho" sound from his mouth.

Du Nanrong reacted quickly and fired with a "bang". The infrared sight was aimed at the head of the infected person, and the shot saw blood.

Lin Qian took a step back, put on a pistol, and aimed at the other people in the car, and saw that there was also one strapped to the co-pilot, and two young infected people were sitting in the back seat of the car.

The two young infected people were not wearing seat belts, a man and a woman, both of whom had been bitten to the point where there was not much meat left, and they were sitting in place as if they were peacefully co-existing.

After noticing the movement of Lin Qian and Du Nanrong, the two were attracted, and began to squeeze into the front seat, stretching their arms and trying to get into the cab.

Lin Qian fired several shots, killing all the infected people in the car.

"Let's move them down and deal with them." Lin Qian said to Du Nanrong.

Du Nanrong nodded.

The two opened the car door and were about to lift the bodies of the infected people out of the car one by one, when they suddenly heard a scream like a cat, and a black shadow quickly flashed past Du Nanrong's eyes.

Du Nanrong took a deep breath, and before he had time to react, his face and body were wrapped in saxifrage leaves, as if wearing a layer of grass armor.

Du Nanrong couldn't see anything, his eyes were blocked by leaves, and he could only hear several gunshots in succession.

He struggled twice quickly, and finally got his head out of the pile of saxifrage leaves, took a deep breath of fresh air, and hurriedly looked in the direction of the gunshot.

Lin Qian was seen sitting on the ground, with a black cat-like creature lying beside his feet, and one of the black cat's paws was still entangled by saxifrage.

Lin Qian took a breath, got up with lingering fear, turned to Du Nanrong and asked, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay, how about you?" Du Nanrong patted the saxifrage, signaling to untie him, he jumped out of the haystack and looked at Lin Qian.

"I'm fine." Lin Qian said, pointing to the saxifrage, "Fortunately, your grass reacted quickly and entangled the cat."

The saxifrage shook its petals triumphantly—chirp!Fenfen is not sucked for nothing!Grass can go even faster!

Du Nanrong and Lin Qian checked to see if the cat was dead.

Lin Qian was speechless: "This is not a cat, look at the claws, how powerful they are."

Du Nanrong turned to the inside of the car, patted Lin Qian who was still studying the black cat, and said, "Look at this door, if we come a few days later, there might be a hole dug out of this door."

Hearing this, Lin Qian leaned over to take a look, and sure enough, he saw that the inside of the rear door had been planed until there was only a layer of steel plate left. There were gray scratches on the steel plate, and the inner core of the steel plate that had changed color could be seen.

Lin Qian took a breath, feeling that all animals that can evolve these days are more ferocious than humans.

Du Nanrong and Lin Qian started to carry it again. This time, both of them were very energetic, for fear that there might be some pet hidden in the car.

"It's hard to break through the dragon's lake and the tiger's den. If you lose your life here, you'll really vomit blood." Lin Qian joked with a smile.

Du Nanrong pulled the corner of his mouth and couldn't laugh: "You crow mouth, don't talk nonsense to me."

"My mouth, what I say doesn't work, it's consecrated instead." Lin Qian was quite self-aware.

He lined up the family of four and the black cat by the side of the road, looked for stone cores, and finally found two transparent ones.

He went on to say, "If I say this, it means that I will definitely not lose my life in such a poor place. You have to listen to it the other way around."

Du Nanrong rolled his eyes at him.

"Hurry up, Du Gong will see if this car can still be driven?" Lin Qian asked.

Du Nanrong got into the smelly car, his eyes were dazzled by the smell. He checked the dashboard, opened the front hood of the car to check, and finally started the engine.

The sound of the engine being turned on successfully made Lin Qian cheer: "Great!"

He got into the passenger cab, closed the door, and said, "Come on, Du Gong, let's pick up the doctor and the others!"

Du Nanrong responded, turned around, stepped on the accelerator, and stopped in front of Cheng Sheng and the others in just a few seconds.

"I'd like to have a car." Lin Qian poked his head out of the co-pilot's window and greeted Xu Ying and the others to get into the car with a smile.

Duan Yi identified a direction and signaled Du Nanrong to drive in that direction.

"There is a smell in the car." Du Jingshu moved her nose, covered her mouth and nose and said in a muffled voice.

Lin Qian turned his head to look at Du Jingshu, and said with a smile, "Don't mention it, when your dad and I just opened the door, it was a thrilling..."

While Du Nanrong was driving, he heard Lin Qian embellish and recount what happened just now, making him feel like James Bond.

Du Nanrong twitched the corners of his mouth: "Don't listen to his nonsense, if it weren't for the grass, he would just lie flat there right now."

Saxifraga slapped Lin Qian lightly twice in a serious manner - it was clearly Caocao who was the most powerful.

Lin Qian coughed dryly, and touched the tip of his nose: "Of course, the grass is our town team's magic grass, and the contribution is indispensable."

Du Jingshu watched Lin Qian, her father and Xiaocao making trouble with each other with a smile, and felt that the smell in the car was not as bad as it was before.

She turned her head and looked at the place she had just left. The vertical elevator passage seemed to be closed again after sending them to the ground, and the yellow sand on the surface was quickly blown flat and covered again.

Du Jingshu turned to Cheng Sheng and asked in a low voice, "Doctor...are we leaving the base just like this? Are we not going back?"

Cheng Sheng was sitting on the back seat, opening Shao Chengyang's notebook, carefully looking for clues to the interpretation, when he heard Du Jingshu's question, he responded, and said lightly: "The base has a great hidden danger, the devil Worms and avoidance... are just chameleons, and they cannot be solved with our firepower."

"Let's go to Zangjiang." Cheng Sheng said.

"Zangjiang... At first glance, there is no trace of the river here." Lin Qian sighed, "I don't know where the people from the base are driving, how long will it take to see the river?"

Duan Yi said: "Towards our direction."

Lin Qian was taken aback, and looked at Duan Yi, a little dazed: "But... how do you know that the direction we are driving is the direction the large army is going?"

"The Zangjiang River is the main river closest to the border in the south of our country. It flows into the sea. If we go south, we don't worry about missing it." Du Jingshu explained.

"Just where we left, there is a cluster of Haloxylon, just a pile of short tree stems that look like they are dead." Cheng Sheng said, "Most plants have the characteristic of chasing light, so the leaves are dense The one facing the south is the south, and the opposite is the north.”

Lin Qian understood. He glanced at the gas indicator on the dashboard and said, "I hope we can drive there before we run out of gas."

"It should be possible." Duan Yi said, "The backup safe point will not be too far from the evacuation point of the base. If it is too far away, it will lose the safety significance of backup evacuation, but it should not be too close, so as not to bring disaster to Chiyu."

Lin Qian nodded knowingly.

They didn't drive for a long time, Du Nanrong suddenly said: "Duan Duan, doctor, take a look behind us, what is that?"

Duan Yi and Cheng Sheng heard that they opened the car window and looked back, and saw behind them, like a towering black wall, approaching them at a steady speed.

Duan Yi's pupils shrank: "It's a sandstorm!"

Du Nanrong stepped on the gas pedal to the bottom, and jumped out.

Du Jingshu and Luo Xiaonan were lying on the back seat, looking at the black wall of wind and sand behind them, like a black giant being removed.

It was the first time Luo Xiaonan saw a sandstorm, and he murmured, "A moving wall..."

"Not only can it move, but it can also eat people." Lin Qian grabbed the top handle of the car and watched Du Nanrong drive the car until all four wheels seemed to fly out.

Fortunately, they were driving on the road, otherwise Du Nanrong was really afraid that the four wheels would get stuck in the yellow sand.

"Sandstorms are very sudden. They appear suddenly and disappear suddenly. They don't last too long, as long as they survive this period of time." Duan Yi said, looking around and pointing to a place not far away One of the dunes said, "Go to the leeward side of the dunes over there."

"Received." Du Nanrong identified the direction, and immediately turned the steering wheel to drive out of the road.

In the event of a sandstorm, you must find a place with shelter. Sand dunes are the most ubiquitous "buildings" on the Gobi Desert, and they are usually the first choice.

Du Nanrong turned on the high beams, and soon the sand and dust behind them caught up with them, and their vision became dim and black. Even with the high beams turned on, their visibility was less than 300 meters.

Du Nanrong bit the bullet and drove forward for a certain distance, always feeling that the sand dune Duan Yi mentioned earlier should have arrived long ago, but he looked around, but couldn't see anything.

Seeing this, Duan Yi immediately shouted to stop Du Nanrong.

"Let's get off!" Duan Yi shouted.

Lin Qian and the others jumped out of the car without saying a word.

Du Jingshu hugged Luo Xiaonan and hid in Du Nanrong's arms. She glanced at the black wind and sand wall only a few kilometers away from them. The sense of oppression that she could not resist made her tremble with fear.

Duan Yi walked a few steps away, let out a low growl, and a majestic giant beast blocked behind them.

The size of the ancient creature was much larger than any dinosaur in the dinosaur era, but in front of the black wind and sand wall, it looked like a cub.

"Why don't we hide in the car?" Du Jingshu had to ask loudly, the sand and gravel were blown by the strong wind.

"The side of the car facing the wind and sand will soon be buried by the wind and sand, and we will be trapped in the car." Cheng Sheng said quickly. As soon as he finished speaking, the giant beast gathered Cheng Sheng into two furry In the forepaws.

Du Jingshu shuddered when he heard this, is that equivalent to being buried alive?

Du Nanrong shouted at the top of his voice: "Get down! Don't stand up! Stick to the shelter!"

The dim wind and sand covered the sky, and soon their field of vision was only black, and the wall behind them seemed to be stuck.

However, the fact is that the wind and sand wall is even one kilometer away from them.

But even though there was a certain distance between them, their visibility was so poor that they seemed to have been swallowed by a sandstorm.

It is hard to imagine what kind of scene will be in the center of the real sandstorm.

"Is it my eyes? Are there two lights shining over there?" Xu Ying suddenly stood up slightly and looked into the distance.

The two beams of strong light appeared extremely faint in the dim dust flying all over the sky.

Lin Qian also saw it. His eyes were fascinated by the wind and sand, and tears flowed down his face. He blocked his face and asked in a muffled voice, "What are those?! Don't tell me what kind of desert monster's eyes are those! I've got a fucking shadow!"

"Not the eyes of the beast! It's the light...the headlights!"

Du Nanrong looked over suddenly when he heard the words, and asked in disbelief: "The headlights?! How could there be a car at this time? Crazy!"

But the fact is that the lights are getting closer and closer to them, and even more lights appear around them.

A couple, two couples, three couples, four couples, four cars surrounded them, enclosing Du Nanrong's car in the middle.

Du Nanrong looked at the four Gaoji trucks in surprise.

Four people jumped out of the car, and they were all startled when they saw the ancient monster crawling on the spot. They subconsciously raised their guns to defend themselves, but soon, as if they had received some order, they put away their guns again.

Du Nanrong saw that the four people all hid in the leeward side of the truck, and the tall truck built a ready-made shelter for them.

The sandstorm came as promised.

The sky seemed to be dark all of a sudden, and the dense sand and dust covered the sky, covering the sun, and you couldn't see your fingers.

The airflow close to the ground rolled up the sand and dust, and they were like ocean waves.

"Like me! Put your hands between your face and the ground! Leave a gap!" Du Nanrong suddenly remembered and hurriedly reminded others.

This is like self-seeking for help during an avalanche, leaving a gap to avoid being buried. There is no gap between the mouth and nose, and finally died of suffocation.

The wall of wind and sand passed over them.

Although it is a wall, it is not a solid wall, it is just a visual impact formed by countless dust and dust.

When the wind and sand wall moved past, Duan Yi pulled out the buried feet first, took out the doctor and put it on the ground, and then he sniffed on the ground, one by one like pulling out carrots, and picked up all the people who were covered in the wind and sand. out.

The yellow sand pressed down on them with a thickness of about three to four centimeters. After Du Nanrong was pulled out of the sand, he took a long breath and became dizzy.

"Is there something wrong with my eyes or something, why do I look red outside?" Lin Qian asked.

Du Jingshu spat out the sand in her mouth, and she would answer this question: "This is a normal brother Qian, the light refracted by the dust particles is not a problem with the eyes."

"It looks a little yellow to me." Zhang Jiuzhang said on the side.

"Don't say it's yellow, it looks colorful to me." Du Nanrong curled his lips.

Duan Yi regained his human form, put on the clothes Cheng Sheng handed over, and dug out the four people who came with trucks with others.

"Thank you." Lin Qian pulled one of them up and patted the other person on the shoulder, "I never thought I would meet the same kind in this place. It's so righteous."

The saxifrage is also digging a hole on the side, pulling people out.

The four of them lay on the ground in disgrace, coughing several times before recovering.

One of them looked up at Duan Yi and Cheng Sheng, and wiped his face: "We meet again, Dr. Cheng."

The author has something to say: Chameleon was wronged, although he didn't cause trouble for the protagonist group, but he couldn't ignore their attack power too much?hey-hey

The face was sucked up and licked away... Even if the instructor can't burn to death, he can't live...

The mentor is not actually a boss, I treat him as a tool (mentor:?)

If you want to talk about the boss... the boss of this article is nature, nature

But the chameleon may be the only creature that survives well after meeting the protagonist group. (Chameleon: Proud!)
