Chapter 298 Escape

Mu Ci stepped on the accelerator hard. The village on the map was not far away.

The other three people in the car also had tense expressions and their hearts almost jumped out of their throats.

This is truly a life-and-death escape, a race against time!

The tornado and sandstorm were chasing their car closely. Mu Ci's face showed no expression. He just turned the steering wheel to the limit, drifted, and drove in the opposite direction, just avoiding the direction of the tornado and sandstorm.

Although the sandstorm adds a tornado buff, it also has one advantage, which is that a tornado only moves in a straight line. As long as you avoid its direction, you can save your life.

Less than a minute after the car turned the corner, a tornado of sandstorms moved forward like a meat grinder, almost brushing past their car.

Shi Jiaojiao and the other two swallowed their saliva at the same time. Even Mu Ci broke out in a cold sweat, and his eyes flashed with relief for surviving the disaster.

They couldn't imagine what would happen to them if their car was involved.

Mu Ci avoided the direction of the tornado and sandstorm and continued driving towards the village.

The fact that they managed to escape this time only proves that they were lucky, but that may not be the case next time.

They had to find somewhere to hide.

After the tornado and sandstorm left, Shi Jiaojiao looked out the car window to see what was happening outside.

The sky was filled with yellow sand, and it looked like a crack had appeared in the sky. The blood-red sky following closely behind the tornado and sandstorm spread rapidly like a raging fire.

That touch of blood seemed to have life, madly devouring the surrounding sky, unstoppable.

At this moment, the sky looked like a giant beast that was swallowing people, and the tornado and sandstorm that had already left was the beast's mouth.

Shi Jiaojiao didn’t know what would happen after the sky turned completely red, but it would definitely not be a good thing.

The car was moving so fast that it almost flew.

No one in the car spoke at this time. Only the faint sound of heartbeats echoing in ears could be heard. Everyone clenched their teeth, with heavy expressions on their faces.

Occasionally, you could hear Xiao Hei whimpering, but he was quickly calmed down by Wang Jia.

Outside the car, yellow sand blocked out the sky and visibility was extremely low. As the distance got closer, the four people could vaguely see the general situation of the village.

From a distance, the village looked dilapidated. Shi Jiaojiao was mentally prepared. After all, after more than three years of apocalypse, even S City was ruined, not to mention this small village.

But when the car actually drove in, Shi Jiaojiao felt something was wrong.

The dilapidated and collapsed houses are mostly concentrated on the outskirts of the village, but several courtyards and a small second-floor building in the center appear to have been renovated.

Is there anyone else in the village?

Shi Jiaojiao had a question mark in her mind, but now was not the time to be entangled.

Mu Ci drove the car directly into the courtyard of the second floor. This building was the best building they had seen in the village so far, and it was relatively much safer than other courtyards.

The yard was fenced, but the fence was not high, and he didn't have the time to go down and open the door, so Mu Ci just stepped on the accelerator, crashed through the fence and rushed in.

As soon as they entered the yard, everyone's eyes brightened.

Although the second floor roof also collapsed and the outer walls peeled off, it did not affect the ground floor at all.

What’s even more surprising is that there is a self-built garage on the side of the house, and the garage is connected to the house, so you can go directly from the garage to the first floor on that side.

Mu Ci drove the car directly into the garage. The garage door was a rolling shutter style, so they needed to manually pull the door down after entering.

After the car stopped, the four people got out quickly.

As soon as Shi Jiaojiao opened the car door, the strong wind outside, carrying sand and gravel, rushed towards her head.

Her eyes went dark in an instant and she almost passed out. All she could hear was the sharp and piercing buzzing of the wind. Gravel hit her face painfully and her vision was almost obscured by the yellow sand. Her whole body was screaming of danger.

Even if everyone wears a mask on their face, dust still manages to get in through the gaps and then squeeze into the nose and mouth.

Shi Jiaojiao held the bicycle and slowly groped towards the door.

She felt the last time she felt so dangerous was when she was suddenly hit by a cold wave halfway through the journey.

Mu Ci had an iron hook in his hand. As he was quite tall, he raised his hand to hook the rolling door and then pulled it down with all his strength.

After the rolling shutter door was pulled down, the other three people also came forward to help.

Bang——

The rolling shutters were finally pulled down completely.

Although the thin roller shutter door temporarily blocked the sandstorm, it could not cover up the howling and roaring of the strong wind outside like a ghost.

Then the four of them started to move the supplies out. Although the car was covered, the situation outside made it seem a little unsafe.

Wang Jia and Tang Wei frowned.

They never expected to encounter a sandstorm just after leaving S City, and most of their supplies were taken away and stored by Mu Ci's friends. They didn't know whether the remaining food would be enough, and no one knew how long the sandstorm would last.

When half of the supplies were moved down, Shi Jiaojiao hooked her fingertips and looked at Wang Jia, "You and Tang Wei move these supplies to the basement first, and my brother and I will move the rest."

Of course, this is just an excuse to get people away.

She just couldn't bear to part with her car. If the garage couldn't hold up and the car was blown away, she would be heartbroken.

Wang Jia said, "Don't you want to go together?"

Mu Ci refused: "Let's split up, it will be faster this way, you go first, Jiaojiao and I will follow soon."

Wang Jia thought it made sense, so he picked up the supplies and said, "Then you two should hurry up."

Then she and Tang Wei carried the supplies and left along the passage.

This type of house usually has a basement. Even if it doesn’t have a basement, it definitely has a cellar.

The two did not dare to waste any time, as the only safe place now was underground.

As for Shi Jiaojiao, after Wang Jia and the others left, she immediately stored the car into the space, then took Xiao Hei and followed Mu Ci away.

Arriving at the first floor of the small second floor, Shi Jiaojiao glanced around and frowned. Sure enough, there were signs of living everywhere, and it seemed that they had lived there for quite a long time.

She was a little confused. If there were people in the village, then they would have made quite a lot of noise when they came in, and it would be impossible for the people inside not to notice it.

But there is no one in sight yet. Where have the people inside gone?

If it were in the past, she would never have brought anyone to live in a village like this that was obviously problematic.

But now there is a sandstorm lurking outside, and they have no better choice but to hide here.

At this moment, the entire first floor suddenly dimmed and emitted a faint red light. The next second, it was as if a huge monster crashed into the house with all its strength.

Standing there, you can even feel the house shaking.

Shi Jiaojiao's eyelids twitched suddenly.

Oh no.
