The three vehicles that set off in full gear, kept a moderate speed into the canyon.

The sight is a vast wasteland connected with the sky. On both sides of the gorge, there are distant mountains. The mountains are covered by long-term snow. If it is in sunny weather, it must be magnificent and magnificent. At this time, under the gloomy sky, he looked extremely cold and hard.

Snow and sand are still falling, and a layer of white is floating on the yellow pasture, and not far from the driving route of the convoy, a rugged rocky beach is lying there quietly, under the cold and gloomy sky. Dead still.

"Pay attention to the next two cars, try to follow my rut, don’t deviate from the route," Mu Yiran’s voice came from the walkie-talkie, "There may be a lot of rat holes under the ground, and the wheels may collapse when they are pushed up. Seeing my car get stuck, brake in time."

Luo Ling and Shao Ling responded on the walkie-talkie and moved forward more intensively.

A gust of wind suddenly curled up from a distant wilderness, swept over the dry grass, and set off a piece of flying sand and rocks. The snow and gravel crackled on the window of the car. Through the well-sealed car wall, the outside of the car could still be heard. The harsh and sharp roar of the wind.

Everyone was a little frightened, sitting in the car and no one spoke, just staring at the desolate and dark distance outside the car window.

"What's that?!" Wu You suddenly pointed to the windy, snowy and sandy intersection outside the window. There were two huge black shadows. They were definitely not people, cars, or rocks, because they were moving!

"Don't be nervous," Yue Cen's gentle voice was soothing, and he handed Wu You the telescope in his hand. "I think it should be wild yaks. As long as we don't get too close, they won't attack us. "

"Yak?" Wu You quickly looked out of the telescope. Although the visibility was not high due to the wind and sand, he could still roughly see that the two black shadows were indeed two wild yaks. "My God, why are they so big?" "

"Some wild yaks can weigh up to half a ton. A wild yak that enters an attacking state can even topple a driving jeep." Yue Cen said, "It seems that Death Valley is not without creatures. This is probably a good phenomenon."

"But I always feel that those two wild yaks look weird..." Wu You stared into the distance from the telescope, "I wonder if it's because their body hair is too long, they look like they have no feet. Stepping on the ground, how should I say... it feels like two black shadows..."

"With such a strong wind, even a wild yak weighing half a ton will be ecstatic." Ke Xun said.

Wu You knew he was comforting himself, so he didn't say more, holding the binoculars and looking away. The cold and magnificent mountains in the distance are slowly retreating, but the nearby is still a desolate. The three cars continue to drive forward cautiously. Fortunately, the off-road vehicles have continuous potholes and even collapses on the road. All drove past without any risk.

In the more than an hour after this, everyone saw other wild animals, such as antelope, wild donkey, fox, and even wolves.

Fortunately, there were not many wolves, only five or six. After seeing the huge off-road vehicle, they just watched from a distance for a while, and there was no crowd.

Even though it is a dangerous animal, everyone feels very relieved, as if there are animals in this dangerous place, there is life, it is not so lifeless, people can't see any hope, and it looks like a real hell.

However, as the deepening of the canyon gets deeper and the time gets late, no animals can be seen from far or near. The thick clouds in the sky are so gloomy as if a cloud of ink have gathered, and the wind is even more intense. It was violent, and more and more gravel was rolled up and smashed on the car.

"It seems a blizzard is coming." Shao Ling's voice came from the intercom.

"No wonder I feel getting colder and colder." Wu You rubbed his arms. Although the air conditioner in the car was fully turned on, there were still bursts of cold that seemed to penetrate the thick skin of the car.

"I'm a little... difficult to breathe..." Hua Jiqiu is some age after all, and Qin Ci in the same car quickly handed him an oxygen cylinder.

"Should we find a place to escape the rush of the limelight first?" Li Xiaochun said.

"The surface here is similar to the plains, there are almost no big ups and downs, we probably have nowhere to hide," Luo Ling said nervously.

"Let's find a place near the water to camp," Mu Yiran said. "I'll go here first today. It is not suitable to drive in a snowstorm."

The river beach in the valley is sometimes missing. Everyone can’t see the water source as far as they can see, so they continue to drive forward looking for the source of water, but the bitter wind roaring from the top of the snow-capped mountain is getting worse. The more and more fierce, it lifted up overwhelming withered grass and sand, and the snow and sand that had fallen on the ground was lifted up to the sky again, together with the withered grass and sand, it seemed that there were tens of thousands erected between the sky and the earth. The meat grinder was like a ground-lifting meat grinder, and the visibility in front of him was only a few meters, and the entire world was shrouded in a huge screen of gray and pale.

"Oops! I can't see the car ahead!" Luo Ling turned pale with shock, "What should I do? What should I do?"

"Don't panic, continue walking in a straight line." Zhu Haowen in the co-pilot said calmly, then called the car in front of the walkie-talkie, "Yan, can you hear it? Please reply if you hear it, please reply if you hear it. Shao Ling, can listen Are you there? Please reply when you hear, reply when you hear."

However, there was only a buzzing noise in the intercom, and no human voice was heard.

"Brother Wen'er, the navigation is malfunctioning!" Luo Ling looked at the display in panic, "Can you still use the compass if you try it?"

When the other members in the car heard this, they hurriedly dig out their own things. Some of them dig out compasses, GPS locators, and mobile phones. However, no matter if it is electronic or mechanical equipment, all navigation tools are useless.

"Old Qin, you continue to try to call the other two cars." Zhu Haowen handed the walkie-talkie to Qin Ci. He took out his pistol, pulled the safety latch, and dropped half of the car window. The wind suddenly roared with sand and snow. Entering the car, Zhu Haowen stretched out his arm laboriously and fired a shot into the sky.

The gunshots were quickly engulfed by the roar of the wind, Zhu Haowen retracted his arm, closed the car window, patted the snow and sand and dead grass on his hair, "all fasten your seat belts," he said, "radish, stop the car Come down, the car lights have been on."

"Stop like this, will Xiao Shao and the others crash into it?" Hua Jiqiu took a deep breath of oxygen and said.

"We are all driving slowly, especially this kind of visibility, Shao Ling will be more careful," Zhu Haowen knows Shao Ling's cautious and suspicious character, "Even if it hits, it will not cause personal injury. Don't take off your seat belts. I think the front car will be surprised if they find that we are behind, they will stop. Let’s wait here now and they will come to us.”

Everyone fastened their seat belts and continued to stay in the car.

Luo Ling pulled on the handbrake and rubbed his hands. It was obvious that the car was warm, but his hands were already stiff and cold, and even sweating.

"Brother Wen'er, why do you say this...could it be the ghost behind the painting?" Luo Ling asked Zhu Haowen with a pale face, "Could it be that we have accidentally entered the painting? "

"I don't know, but your suspicion is also very possible." Zhu Haowen stared at the dimly dark scene like the end of the world outside the window. For more than ten minutes, he finally saw it in the chaos in the distance. There was a glimmer of light.

"Turn, hold your gun." Zhu Haowen said solemnly, "Old Qin, so do you."

The three people in the back seat were in a hurry.

Luo Ling tremblingly held up the gun, and said with a shaking voice: "Brother Wen'er...what are you looking at? Is it a monster or a...ghost?"

"I don't know," Zhu Haowen squeezed the gun in his hand. "Listen, don't shoot easily, so as not to hurt yourself. If you are nervous, don't put your finger on the trigger."

"I know Brother Wen'er...I'm just playing live-action CS..." Luo Ling did mental construction for herself, took a deep breath, and steadily held the gun.

A few minutes later, the gleam of light that had just disappeared lighted up again. This time it didn’t flicker again, but kept on. It got brighter and brighter, getting closer and closer, until it slowly revealed the fifteenth knight. The world's sturdy and domineering car body comes.

"It's my brother and brother-in-law!" Luo Ling cheered, put down the gun in his hand, only held it for a few minutes, but his arms were stiff, sour and tired.

Zhu Haowen was still holding a gun, watching the car on the opposite side warily. The car stopped five meters away. The door of the co-pilot opened, and he jumped down. He was tall and long, with long legs, a hat, mask, and scarf. With a gun inside, he looked like a terrorist, but when he walked steadily toward this side, he could bring people an infinite sense of steadiness and peace of mind.

The man walked to the car and knocked on Luo Ling's car window. Luo Ling was about to open the window, but Zhu Haowen pressed him: "Let him take off his mask."

Luo Ling reacted for a moment, and quickly said "Oh oh" that he understood, turning his head and gesturing outside the window.

After reading Luo Ling's gestures, the people outside the window returned his middle finger speechlessly, then unbuttoned his scarf and took off his mask, revealing a face of “I’m going to step on a horse and be blown to death by the wind. Open the window.” .

Luo Ling opened the window of the car and was choked by the cold wind. She coughed and choked and covered her mouth: "Brother! Great! We thought we lost you, scared me to death..." She really started crying.

Ke Xun knocked him on the head and said loudly in the squally wind outside the car: "You guys wait here first, we will drive to Shao Ling to find them!"

Zhu Haowen also sent the words out loudly: "Be careful not to get lost again!"

"Don't worry, we won't go far. If we still can't find them within a certain range, we will come back and we will wait for them here!" Ke Xun motioned to Luo Ling to close the car window and turned back to the opposite car. The car started and drove slowly in the direction it came.

Shao Ling acted cautiously. The car stopped not far from Luo Ling and his car. The three cars reunited, and everyone temporarily squeezed into Mu Yiran and his car for a small meeting.

"All the navigation equipment is malfunctioning." Shao Ling's face was blown by the bitter cold wind, and the cheekbones on both sides were smeared with plateau red, which looked very grounded.

"If it is true as we said before, there is super-magnetic basalt underneath the Lingle Canyon," Yue Cen handed him a thermos cup of hot ginger tea. "Then it is disturbed by the magnetic field. It’s not surprising that tools such as compasses fail."

"I think we can no longer move on," Qin Ci said, "Curator Hua and Qingqing are not in very good condition, and even if we find a suitable camping location, there is probably no way to camp in this weather."

"Lao Qin is right," Ke Xun said, "We guess we can only make up for one night in the car tonight. We will change cars later. Ladies have one car for easy rest, but we need a man to escort the car. , Brother Qin, I will trouble you, take care of Qingqing by the way."

"Okay." Qin Ci nodded.

"The rest are four people in a car, get some food first, and then go to bed early, but someone needs to watch the night, everyone looks at the arrangements, don't stay alone for the whole night, change shifts." Ke Xun said.

Everyone responded, Zhu Haowen said: "The problem now is that the navigation is not working, and the walkie-talkie and mobile phones can't communicate with each other. If this continues tomorrow, our process may be even more difficult."

"It doesn't matter, I took the tow rope," Ke Xun said, "If this is still the case tomorrow, let's use the tow rope to connect the three cars together."

Zhu Haowen didn't say anything.

Wei Dong suddenly asked everyone: "Which one of you fired the gun at that time? Just one bullet and a shuttle was released. How enjoyable?"

Luo Ling and Zhu Haowen looked at each other in surprise.

"I only shot one bullet at the sky." Zhu Haowen said.

"Huh?" Wei Dong and Shao Ling also looked at each other in surprise, "What about everyone? Who else has let go of the gun?"

Everyone shook their heads.

Shao Ling frowned slightly: "We heard a series of gunfire in the back, the sound came from all directions, and there were first and second, lasting about ten seconds."

This time Ke Xun and Mu Yiran looked at each other: "We heard it before, so I realized that there might be a problem behind you, so I turned around to find it.

Everyone fell into a stiff silence for a while. After a long time, Li Xiaochun swallowed and said: "There are other people in the valley, or... ‘something’?..."

The author has something to say:

Hao Wen: I only shot one bullet.

Shao Ling: But we heard a series of gunshots behind, coming from all directions.

Ke Xun: Fortunately, it was just a shot instead of peeing.

Everyone: (Imagine the scene for a moment)...Shut up.
