Chapter 614: Mist. Wang Ye escapes
After Chu An and Li Qing separated, they deliberately went back to the northeast to check the fog, and found no signs of expansion or movement.
It's not that there was no wind at all these days, but it didn't move at all, nor did it dissipate, which was a spectacle.
Before she left, she had left 200 doses of antidote. Li Qing didn't have the ability to develop the antidote, but he could buy it at a high price after it was successfully developed in other bases. So, these 200 doses were just to help him out of an emergency. Besides, they had moved the base to the mountains, so the possibility of inhaling the fog was relatively small.
This kind of mentality is like suddenly forgetting to turn off the gas before going to work, and having to go home to check it before you can make it right.
They were heading towards Sheng Tang, the actual direction was southeast, slightly easterly, and they had to pass through a deserted town on the outskirts of the city, with occasional gusts of sand.
Lao Chu didn't know what he had secretly eaten last night, but he had diarrhea. Gu Ye parked the car in the middle of the road, and didn't have to worry about the traffic, because there was no one here except them.
He and Chu An also took the opportunity to relieve themselves, after all, the road ahead was long.
This is the first time I use the illustration function of Persimmon. The picture is also a text-to-picture conversion of Persimmon. Because the characters are very weird every time they are generated, I can only make up a sentence: Lao Chu has a stomachache
It is 2,000 kilometers from here to Tang Base. At the current speed, it is about 30-40 kilometers per hour, which takes a week. If there is any emergency on the road, the time will be extended.
They drive Hummers during the day and live in RVs at night, so they can get up and leave at any time if there is any danger.
If there is danger, there is danger; it is not a man-made disaster.
On the fourth day of the journey, at nine o'clock in the morning, the sun went into stealth mode, the dust around us blew higher and higher, the sky was full of yellow sand, and the wind was very strong.
Gu Ye was driving, Chu An was looking at a map in the passenger seat, and Lao Chu was catching up on sleep in the back. He was on duty until the second half of last night.
There is only one road. Three kilometers to the left is a road destroyed by mudslides, and two kilometers to the right is a ground fissure caused by an earthquake. There is no way to go around it.
"Stop the car." Chu An put down his phone and said softly.
Lao Chu was dazed in the back, "What happened? Why did you stop Xiao An?"
"There's a heavy sandstorm ahead."
Sandstorms usually last for a short time, so it is better to wait than to risk going in. Chu An never gets conceited because she has space and Zi Liu. If nature is really angry and everything turns upside down, nothing she has will help.
"Then let's wait a moment. Sand storms can affect the respiratory tract." Lao Chu stretched lazily and started to rummage through the refrigerator in the car. He took out a bottle of water and handed it to Gu Ye, then took out a bottle of water at room temperature and gave it to Xiao An.
The three of them had breakfast at nine o'clock, and now it was just past twelve o'clock, so they were not hungry at all. Gu Ye backed the car 100 meters, and let Xiao An take control of the steering wheel while keeping an eye on the surroundings. He began to take a nap in the car.
After a while, Chu An felt that the sand and dust were moving strangely, as if it was expanding towards them, but not very obviously. The yellow sand inside was rolling violently, and many dead branches and leaves were swept up into the sky. If her guess was correct, there should be a desert cloud inside.
This type of cloud usually appears in deserts or Gobi, and can occasionally be seen on highways. It is mainly formed when hot air and cold air intersect.
When hot air rises and meets cold air, water vapor condenses into water droplets, forming white clouds. However, in deserts or Gobi, it will carry sand and dust with it, mix together, and form yellow turbid clouds, which will push the wind and sand to expand outward.
Although the place where Chu An and his friends parked was far away from the center of the sandstorm, it was still within the sand and dust and was considered to be on the edge.
Just as Chu An was searching for information about the dangers of desert clouds in his mind, three figures running away in panic appeared in his sight. Judging from their silhouettes, they were two men and one woman. They kept looking back, as if they were being chased by something.
Chu An woke up Lao Chu who was dozing off in the passenger seat, and Lao Chu woke up Gu Ye who was resting in the back seat. In order to let Gu Ye sleep more comfortably, Lao Chu took the initiative to give up the back seat.
Chu An immediately started the car, ready to evacuate at any time. However, the sound of the engine also attracted the attention of the three people, and they immediately ran towards the Hummer.
As soon as they left the heavy storm area, their clothes immediately caught Chu An's attention.
"Xiao An, they seem to be firefighters, wearing uniform fireproof clothing."
"No, they're not firefighters."
The three of them were wearing the same orange combat uniforms, similar to firefighters, but not really. This was the first time she had seen them in this life. She had seen them many times in her previous life, and they had even clashed with each other several times.
The orange combat uniform is the attire of the Daming base assault troopers. This team is known as the four major teams of the apocalypse together with the Tang Dynasty Mobile Team in black combat uniforms, the Qin Special Forces in dark red combat uniforms, and the Han ESt (Emergency Support team) in dark green combat uniforms.
In the later period, both the individual combat capability and the teamwork capability are comparable to the top special forces in the military. Most of them are soldiers who were recruited with a lot of money, and the rest are elites from various fields of society.
"What are they doing?" Lao Chu immediately became alert. "They seem to have guns. Are they soldiers?"
"They should be from the Ming base." Chu An replied.
After the end of the world, the military became privately owned by the bases, and power was divided. However, they were unwilling to be the sword used by politicians to fight for power, so there was military-political discord in each base, and each base did its own tasks.
The political leaders wanted to develop their own armed forces. They first won over the elites from all walks of life and fields. Later, when they found that their combat effectiveness was not good enough, they began to poach members of the army, using every possible means.
In this way, the four doomsday teams came into being, a bit like the East Factory and the West Factory in ancient times. However, at this point in time, their capabilities cannot be compared with the army, but it does not prevent them from being arrogant and domineering. In short, Chu An has no good feelings towards the Ming Dynasty's stormtroopers, except for Captain Wang Ye who saved her.
What a coincidence, Wang Ye is one of these three people!
As they got closer, Chu An recognized him at a glance and eased his foot on the accelerator. Behind them, more than a dozen reptiles appeared.
Her first thought was crocodiles, lizards or snakes. But this was a sandstorm area, so crocodiles wouldn't appear. Between lizards and snakes, lizards were more likely.
While they were thinking, the three of them had already arrived in front of the car. Lao Pao and Jiang Nu were running in the front, and Wang Ye was the last one to come.
Lao Pao was a nearly fifty-year-old man from Beijing. He was a slick and insidious person. No one knew his real name, and maybe Wang knew it, but he took the initiative to let others call him Lao Pao, and so it started to happen.
Jiang Nu's real name is Zhao Hui. Because of her beauty, she is considered the most beautiful girl in the Daming base assault team. Why is it considered to be so? Because another beauty will join the team later.
Neither of these two people is good, one wants to get into the king's bed, and the other wants to get into the base leader's bed. Of course, just wanting to exchange his body for resources would not make Chu An feel disgusted.
The two of them fought openly and secretly for the false title of team flower. In order to prove their own strength, they snatched tasks from the scavenger team, accepted tasks without risk assessment, and indirectly killed many team members.
The scavenging team Chu An participated in was used as a pawn once. Fortunately, she reacted halfway and persuaded the captain to withdraw in time. However, she was later sent back for rescue, and she also saw a scene that she would never forget in her two lives.
The river water was dyed red, there were broken limbs everywhere, and the air was filled with a disgusting stench, but there was no sign of the culprit.
Zhao Hui was protected by four team members with broken legs and arms, and became the only survivor at that time.
As a result, she came back and put all the blame on the captain who had died. She said that he overestimated his own abilities, ignored the advice, and didn't care about the lives of his teammates in order to win the credit. But everyone knew that the captain took the mission just to please her!
Bang, bang, bang——
Zhao Hui slammed the car window vigorously, "Open the door quickly and let us get in. Open the door, open the door."
