Chapter 299 A better shelter?
Shi Jiaojiao grabbed Mu Ci and turned around and ran away.
The two of them didn't see that the sky, which had been a little dim yellow just now, had now been completely dyed red, with an astonishingly rich color.
Just as they took two steps, they heard a "pop" sound.
The glass is broken.
The strong wind swept up the sand and gravel, instantly found a breakthrough, and rushed in.
The wind now is stronger and more violent than before, almost blowing people up.
Shi Jiaojiao felt pain all over her body from the wind, and her bones felt like they were about to fall apart. The strong wind kept squeezing her body, and she felt like she was going to explode in the next second!
Fortunately, she was wearing a mask and dust goggles, otherwise she would have suffocated to death.
The moment the glass shattered, Mu Ci quickly grabbed Shi Jiaojiao's hand tightly.
The house was covered in sand and wind, and I couldn't see the road or the direction at all.
At this moment, Wang Jia's screams came to his ears, as if he was afraid that he couldn't hear it, and his voice was extremely sharp.
"Jiaojiao, here, we are here!"
Shi Jiaojiao calmed herself down and threw all the supplies in her hands into the space. She wanted to take Xiao Hei into the space as well, but she didn't know if Xiao Hei sensed the danger and refused to leave.
Shi Jiaojiao could only pull the leash tightly. Fortunately, Xiao Hei was wearing a mask when he was in the car, so at least he would not be suffocated by the wind and sand blocking his respiratory tract.
She and Mu Ci followed Wang Jia's voice, but because of the wind resistance, every step was difficult.
Shi Jiaojiao was carefully listening to Wang Jia's voice when she suddenly felt the rope holding Xiao Hei move.
She felt Xiao Hei's impatience, and with an idea in her mind, she pulled Mu Ci and followed Xiao Hei.
Xiao Hei did not disappoint everyone and successfully brought his two owners to the entrance of the basement at the fastest speed.
Shi Jiaojiao took advantage of the terribly low visibility and took out the supplies that she had just thrown into the space.
There is an iron door at the entrance to the basement, and Wang Jia and Tang Wei are now standing there, holding the door.
The door was wide open when Tang Wei and the other man arrived, and the sudden strong wind caught them off guard. The two men could only hold on to the door tightly, otherwise the door would be blown shut as soon as they left, and they would really be dead.
The two men breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the two men and the tiger were safe and sound. After the men came in, they immediately closed the iron gate.
The wind and sand were blocked outside the door, and the four of them felt a lot more relaxed instantly.
Shi Jiaojiao took out a flashlight and shone it downwards.
To be precise, this place should be considered a mixture of cellar and basement.
Following the light of the flashlight, we can see that the entire basement is about 30 square meters. The walls inside are very rough, just randomly smeared with putty. In order to preserve food for a long time, the basement is built relatively deep, with an estimated height of about five meters.
The stairs next to it are quite steep and you will fall down if you are not careful.
After all four of them came down, the tense heart finally relaxed a little.
Shi Jiaojiao felt sore all over, as if she had exerted too much force and was exhausted.
She paused for a few seconds and then hurried to check on Xiao Hei's condition.
Although Xiao Hei was wearing a mask, his eyes were not covered and he couldn't wear dust goggles.
Shi Jiaojiao carefully pried open Xiao Hei's eyelids and checked for a long time, but did not find anything wrong.
Xiao Hei fell to the ground and rolled his eyes.
It is the tiger king, not a fool. If it can't use its eyes, can't it use its nose?
How could such a small piece of cloth possibly block its sensitive sense of smell?
snort.
In the following time, none of the four spoke a word.
There were no windows in the basement, so apart from hearing the howling wind outside, everyone couldn't see what was happening outside.
The constant sound of the wind in the ears makes it impossible to calm down.
Coupled with the occasional tremors above the head, it makes people even more nervous.
As time passed, the sandstorm outside became stronger and stronger.
Suddenly, a deafening roar exploded in their ears. Everyone was frightened out of their wits and immediately looked up.
Fortunately, the basement ceiling was still standing without any damage.
They simply couldn't imagine what would happen to them if the ceiling suddenly collapsed at this time.
You may be blown away by the strong wind, or you may be buried alive.
Tang Wei swallowed his saliva and asked, "Did the building above collapse?"
Shi Jiaojiao nodded heavily. This was not good news for them.
Wang Jia couldn't hide her panic on her face: "What about the car?"
Without a car, it means that even if they survive the sandstorm, they will not be able to leave quickly.
They either walked to the base or walked back to the shelter in S City.
Not to mention the distance, the risk factor has increased several times!
Shi Jiaojiao comforted her, "Don't worry, my brother's car is not light after the modification, and it is fully bulletproof, so it should be able to withstand it."
These were just the thoughts of An An and Wang Jia. After all, the car was now well placed in the space.
Fortunately, the sandstorm is like a child throwing a tantrum, angry one moment and happy the next.
As the situation outside gradually calmed down, Shi Jiaojiao's tense body relaxed a lot.
However, the fact that the noise outside has decreased does not mean that it is safe. She does not believe that the sandstorm will end so easily.
She rubbed her eyebrows and looked around carefully.
If nothing unexpected happens, they will have to hide here for a while.
This basement is not empty. Traces of a burnt fire can be seen on the ground, and there are some broken wood, plastic sheets and other debris in the corners.
Wang Jia also came to his senses at this time. He took off his mask and asked, "Did anyone live here before?"
Shi Jiaojiao had already noticed the clues upstairs, and now everything in the basement further proved her guess.
She nodded. "These things should be left by the survivors who hid here during the midnight sun."
Wood fires are only used during extreme cold weather, except at night during polar day. However, it has been almost a year and a half since the extreme cold weather, so it is impossible for the traces to be so clear.
So the question is, what about the survivors hiding in the basement?
The sandstorm mode started just after the polar day ended, and even the four of them were caught off guard, not to mention the other survivors.
Tang Wei frowned and said, "When a sandstorm hits, the basement is the safest place. It seems that the survivors hiding here before should have survived the polar day, so why did they leave?"
Shi Jiaojiao and Mu Ci looked at each other and said in unison: "Unless there is a safer place."
"Should have found a better hiding place."
Wang Jia was stunned. Is there a better place than the basement?
Shi Jiaojiao lowered her eyes and rubbed gently with her fingers.
This sandstorm appeared suddenly. The survivors who were originally hiding in the house were able to leave in such a short time, so their new hiding place must not be too far away.
She was a little curious.
However, there was no point in thinking too much, as they were already trapped in the basement, and the sandstorm was still going on, so they had no chance of leaving.
Shi Jiaojiao looked up at the ceiling.
The most worrying thing now is whether this basement can withstand the sandstorm outside?
