Chapter 33 Storm 3

In the force 20 gale, Mai Dong felt as tiny and light as a speck of dust.

If she had been smart enough to tie herself to the poplar tree, she would have been dreaming if she had wanted to hold her body in the strong wind by simply hugging the tree with her short legs.

But her nerves were still tense, because the poplar tree swaying in the wind made her feel that the tree would be broken by the wind at any time.

Fortunately, after observing for a while, Mai Dong found that although the poplar tree was swaying wildly in the strong wind, although the trunk still had branches left, it was not in danger of being broken for the time being, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

The parachute rope was of excellent quality and could withstand the pull of a force 20 gale. Mai Dong temporarily relaxed his tense nerves to solve another problem.

The sandstorm rolled up countless sand balls and hit her face head on. In this situation, she couldn't breathe through her nose at all. So after the eye of the sandstorm passed and the wind started again, she kept breathing through her mouth.

The entire sandstorm was filled with yellow sand everywhere, and it was difficult to breathe. When she breathed in through her mouth, she would inevitably inhale sand into her mouth, so she had to spit out the sand in her mouth after taking a few breaths. It was really terrible.

Fortunately, the original owner packed up all her daily necessities and put them in the space when she left the Xi family.

As for the items in the space buckle, with Mai Dong's mental strength, she could use her mental power to move the items in the space buckle. She used her mental power to control the scissors and cut a long strip of cloth from the parachute.

Then he took out a long strip of cloth and covered her mouth and nose and tied it tightly at the back of her head. This way, when she breathed through her mouth, the sand would flow directly into her mouth, making her breathing smoother.

However, now that her breathing problem had been resolved, she felt much better.

You should know that strong winds can carry sand, and the sand hitting your body is more painful than heavy rain.

Even though the combat uniform she wore could prevent this kind of damage, the fact that she didn't get hurt didn't mean she was in pain. She still felt very comfortable, especially since her head, face and body were exposed.

Mai Dong stretched out his arms and struggled to pull out the hood of his combat uniform in the strong wind. After a lot of effort, he finally put the hood on his head, then put his forehead against the poplar tree, and felt a little more comfortable.

In order to have enough mental strength to deal with the crisis when the situation is critical, and to get rid of the mental system vest, Mai Dong dared not use too much mental strength.

Otherwise, even if her current spiritual system is in the middle stage of level five, she can still use her spiritual power to form a barrier to block the wind and sand.

Being in such an environment, every second counts.

Mai Dong felt as if a very long time had passed, and she was almost dizzy from being shaken by Hu Yangshu.

But Mai Dong didn't dare to faint at all, because she "saw" that the sand dunes around the oasis had gradually "walked into" the oasis under the push of the strong wind, and were gradually engulfing the oasis from all directions.

First, we went to the green area around the Oasis Lake, which was covered by sand dunes more than ten meters high. Then we went to the volcanic rock where the Ophiopogon japonicus originally hid, and then to the Oasis Lake.

The deepest part of Oasis Lake is only over 8 meters. Although the lake is large, it can cover the sand dunes on all sides.

The first sand dunes that moved over stopped moving after being soaked by the lake water, but the sand dunes behind them continued to move under the force of the wind, slowly and steadily crossing the sand dunes in front until they buried the entire oasis lake.

The mutated poplar tree where Mai Dong was located was relatively close to the Oasis Lake. According to her visual observation, this mutated poplar tree should be three or four hundred years old. The trunk was at least two meters thick and the tree was nearly twenty meters tall.

In her original estimation, the height of the sand dune was enough to bury the entire poplar tree, so she quickly moved to the poplar tree when the wind of the sandstorm weakened.

But when the sand dune moved over and was still more than ten meters away from the poplar tree, Mai Dong estimated that her position was still too low. The height of the sand dune was two or three meters higher than the poplar tree.

Mai Dong was still two or three meters away from the top of the tree. She had to untie the parachute rope that tied her to the poplar tree pole and climb to the top of the poplar tree.

With Maidong's body, climbing to the top of the tree would be a piece of cake under normal circumstances.

But now she had to fight against the strong winds that tried to pull her away, and also against the poplar trees that were swaying violently in the wind to avoid being thrown out.

So for a short distance of two or three meters, she felt as if she had climbed thousands of miles.

This was after such a long period of violent sandstorms, when only the thick branches of the poplar trees remained, which were completely able to bear her weight. Otherwise, she might have already been holding onto a branch and was in free fall.

When the sand dunes began to bury the poplar trees, Mai Dong felt the power of the sandstorm, which showed no signs of weakening. He then looked at the sand dunes that were several meters taller than the poplar trees.

Even if she climbed to the top of the tree, she would avoid being buried by the sand dunes. The only way for her to survive was to jump onto the sand dunes when the sand dunes submerged the poplar trees.

But the sand dunes were moving all around her, and even if she jumped to the top of the dune, she would be swept away by the wind without a place to fix her body.

At this moment, Mai Dong remembered the 3-meter-long parachute rope that he had put into his space backpack.

She hurriedly used her mental strength to hold up a protective shield so that she could float out of the wind. She tied the parachute rope to the thickest branch at the top of the poplar tree and the other end to her waist.

Mai Dong used his dagger to cut off another two-meter-long branch, and when the sand dune submerged his heels, he continued to climb to the top of the tree.

The sand dunes soon submerged the poplar trees. Without the support of the poplar trees, the ophiopogon japonicus fell onto the sand dunes.

On the sand dunes, Mai Dong felt like a rootless duckweed, completely unable to resist the strong wind. If she had a rope around her waist, she knew where she would be blown to.

In this way, she was like a kite, blown away from the sand dunes by the wind and then pulled back by the rope.

But the sand dunes continued to move, and she had to lengthen the rope around her waist from time to time to avoid being pulled into the sand by the long enough rope.

Fortunately, Mai Dong had cut a branch. She tried hard to insert the branch into the sand dune, used it to stabilize her body, and tried to move back to the top of the poplar tree, trying to keep the rope as vertical as possible.

This way the parachute rope can be stretched to its maximum length, avoiding the tragedy of her having to cut the parachute rope because it is too long and then being blown away by the wind.
