Chapter 32 Storm 2
Because the wind was too strong, after Mai Dongzi "pushed" the live broadcast ball into the rock cave, the live broadcast ball was almost blown away by the wind. The survival game program team had to attach the live broadcast ball tightly to the volcanic rock.
Even so, the live broadcast still captured the sandstorm that covered the sky in the oasis. Satellite monitoring only captured the high-speed swirling storm, and the situation inside the sandstorm was not clear.
Seeing this situation, the director's heart was going up and down like on a roller coaster and he couldn't sit still.
Such a big sandstorm is really too dangerous. We should bring Miss Lucy here quickly, otherwise it will be too late to rescue her after the incident.
But according to the rules of the survival game, they have to wait for the adventurer to call for help before they can get involved with the adventurer.
However, with such a severe sandstorm, I'm afraid their rescue team won't be able to get in.
The director became more and more uneasy the more he thought about it, and he couldn't help but call Adjutant Chen on WeChat.
After the director heard the reply from Adjutant Chen, he felt relieved. He also tactfully hinted that as long as they were not hit by the live broadcast ball when they rescued Miss Lucy, he would pretend that he didn't know about it.
…
Mai Dongzi, who was in the volcanic cave, didn't know that the Shuilan Star garrison and the survival game program team were planning to open a back door for her.
Ever since she entered the volcanic cave to avoid the sandstorm, she has been "looking" outside with her mind.
The wind of the sandstorm was very strong. Even though Maidongzi hid in a volcanic cave and blocked the entrance with a rock, leaving only a five or six centimeter hole for ventilation, wind still kept coming in with sand and soil, and a layer of sand and soil soon accumulated in the volcanic cave.
The sandstorm brought a lot of sand, which continued to fall all over the oasis. Although some of the fallen sand was blown away by the wind, some of it remained.
As a result, the sand in the oasis piled up more and more. After the plants in the oasis were destroyed by the wind, only the dead branches were left, even the dead leaves were gone, and they were half buried in the sand. Except for the small lake in the oasis, other places looked no different from the desert.
An hour later, the entrance to the volcanic rock cave where Mai Dongzi was located was originally more than one meter above the ground, but now the sand has almost reached the entrance.
This was not the most frightening thing. What frightened Mai Dongzi the most was that she "saw" the sand dunes near the oasis slowly moving towards the oasis under the push of the strong wind.
I know that the shortest dunes are several meters high, and the tallest ones are over 100 meters high. I wonder how many meters of sand dunes will cover the oasis after these dunes move to it.
The volcanic rock where she was was only five or six meters high. Once the sand dunes swallowed up the oasis, the volcanic rock cave would become her grave.
The volcanic cave turned out to be the most dangerous place. Mai Dongzi wanted to leave here and find another high place to stay.
But there was a strong wind of at least level 50 outside, and she would definitely be blown up into the sky if she went there.
Mai Dongzi thought about it and decided to dig a hole above the volcanic rock first and then open another entrance.
After all, there is too much sand outside. In this situation, I am afraid that the original entrance of the cave will be buried by the sand.
In this way, she would go through this hole when the outer dunes moved to the outer edge of the oasis. Even if the wind outside had not stopped at that time, she would be in danger of being blown away as soon as she went out, which was better than being buried at the bottom of the sand dunes.
The top of the volcanic cave dug by Mai Dongzi is only one meter away from the top of the volcanic rock, so it is easy to dig another hole upwards.
In less than half an hour, Mai Dongzi reached the top of the volcanic rock cave. With the help of the spirit, she did not dig through it all at once to avoid sand pouring in. Instead, she left a thickness of about three centimeters so that she could dig through it immediately in an emergency.
However, she dug two ventilation holes at an angle, so that the original volcanic cave entrance was buried by sand and she would not be suffocated to death. However, in this way, more sand poured into the volcanic cave.
Mai Dongzi looked at the time and found that the sandstorm had lasted for nearly two hours.
On the Blue Planet more than 2,000 years ago, when the solar catastrophe had not occurred, each sandstorm in the desert lasted only a little over two hours.
According to the data provided by the Blue Water Star garrison more than 2,000 years later, each sandstorm in the desert would last for one or two days.
However, the sandstorm does not blow in one place all the time, but blows from here to there, and stops after crossing the entire desert. Therefore, each area will only suffer from the storm for two or three hours at most.
The oasis where she was had been hit by a sandstorm for nearly two hours. Mai Dongzi comforted herself that if she held on for another hour, the storm would be over.
But after she used her mind to "scan" outside, Mai Dongzi's self-comfort was shattered.
The sand dunes that Mai Dongzi originally thought were moving very slowly, had moved more than two meters in just over half an hour when she was concentrating on digging the tunnel.
Now the sand dunes closest to the oasis are approaching the edge of the oasis. In short, they are only three meters away from the volcanic rock where Maidongzi is located.
Although the sand dune was only a few meters high, it was enough to bury the volcanic rock.
What was even more frightening was that Mai Dongzi discovered that the wind around the oasis suddenly weakened, the dim sky became brighter, and the sunlight even penetrated the dust that was still flying in the sky, and weakly fell on the oasis that was already covered with a layer of sand.
Even in Mai Dongzi's spiritual "vision", the oasis is still surrounded by raging sandstorms.
What does this mean? It means that the Oasis is now in the eye of the storm, and another wave of strong winds and sandstorms will soon arrive.
Mai Dongzi hesitated for only two seconds, then immediately collected the things in the volcanic cave, crawled out of the original cave entrance which was one-third buried by sand, and ran towards the mutated Hu Yangshu where she built the tree house.
This mutant poplar tree is the tallest in the oasis, nearly 괗굛 meters high.
In the previous sandstorm, the tree house built by Mai Dongzi has disappeared, but the poplar tree with a trunk of two or three meters is still standing there steadily, but the branches and leaves on the tree have been pulled out, leaving only dead branches.
Mai Dongzi climbed up as fast as she could. The wind was not strong at the moment, so she climbed smoothly and quickly.
She didn't dare to climb to the top, so she stopped about two meters away from the poplar tree. If she climbed any higher, the branches of the poplar tree would be too thin and she was afraid that they would not be able to bear her weight.
Mai Dongzi found a relatively sturdy branch, sat horizontally on it, then took the parachute rope from his space backpack and tied himself to the poplar pole.
Just as she was about to tie herself to the poplar tree with the parachute rope, the oasis became dark again, and a strong wind blew in an even more terrifying way, attacking the oasis.
