ALL NOVEL Chapter 32 - Storm 2
Because the wind was too strong, the live broadcast ball was almost blown away by the wind after Mai Dongzi “pushed” it out of the rock cave. The people on the survival game program team had to attach the live broadcast ball tightly to the volcanic rock.
Even so, the live broadcast ball still captured the horror of the sandstorm that covered the sky and the sun in the oasis. Satellite monitoring can only capture the high-speed rotating storm, and the situation inside the sandstorm cannot be seen clearly.
Seeing this situation, the director’s heart was up and down like a roller coaster, and he couldn’t sit still.
Such a big sandstorm is too dangerous. Should we take Miss Lucy out quickly, so as not to rescue her too late if something happens?
However, according to the rules of the survival game, they must wait for the adventurer to ask for help before intervening with the adventurer.
But in such a big sandstorm, I’m afraid their rescue team can’t enter.
The more the director thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. He couldn’t help but call Adjutant Chen’s flight message.
After the director heard Adjutant Chen’s reply, his heart was finally at ease. He also cleverly hinted that, as long as they were not hit by the live ball when they rescued Miss Lucy, he would pretend that he didn’t know about it.
Mai Dongzi in the volcanic cave didn’t know that the Water Blue Star Garrison and the survival game program team were planning to open a small back door for her.
Since entering the volcanic cave to avoid the sandstorm, she has been “looking” at the outside with her mental power.
The wind from the sandstorm was very strong. Even though Mai Dongzi was hiding in the volcanic cave, the entrance was blocked by a rock, leaving only five or six centimeters of the hole for ventilation, but there was still wind that kept bringing sand and soil in from the entrance. A layer of sand and soil soon accumulated in the volcanic cave. The sand and soil brought by the sandstorm were really a lot, and they kept falling all over the oasis. Although some of the fallen sand would be swept away by the wind, some of it would still be left behind.
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 broken branches were left, and even the dead leaves were gone, and they were half buried by the sand. Except for the small lake in the oasis, other places looked no different from the desert.
In just one hour, the entrance of the volcanic rock cave where Mai Dongzi was located was originally more than one meter above the ground, and now the sand has almost piled up to the entrance of the cave.
This is not the most terrifying thing. What frightened Mai Dongzi the most was that she “saw” the sand dunes near the oasis, which were slowly moving towards the oasis under the push of the strong wind.
You should know that the shortest of those sand dunes is tens of meters high, and the highest can reach hundreds of meters. It is conceivable that after these sand dunes move to the oasis, the oasis will be covered by tens of meters of sand dunes. The volcanic rock where she is is only five or six meters high. Once the sand dunes engulf the oasis, the volcanic rock cave will become her grave. The volcanic rock cave has become the most dangerous place. Mai Dongzi really wants to get out of here and find another high place to stay.
But now there is a gale of at least 20 degrees outside, and she will definitely be blown up into the sky if she goes out.
Mai Dongzi thought about it and decided to dig a hole above the volcanic rock and open another hole.
After all, there is too much sand outside. In this situation, she is afraid that the original hole will be buried by the sand.
In this way, she can get out of this hole when the outer sand dunes move to the outer edge of the oasis. Even if the wind outside has not stopped at that time, she will be in danger of being blown away by the wind as soon as she goes out, but it is better than being buried at the bottom of the sand dunes.
The top of the volcanic cave that Mai Dongzi dug was only a little over one meter away from the top of the volcanic rock. It was easy to dig another exit upwards.
In less than half an hour, Mai Dongzi reached the top of the volcanic cave. With the help of mental power, 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 would be buried by sand and she would not suffocate to death. However, in this way, more sand would be poured into the volcanic cave.
Mai Dongzi looked at the time. The sandstorm had been blowing for nearly two hours.
More than two thousand years ago, when there was no doomsday change on the Blue Water Star, each sandstorm in the desert lasted only more than two hours.
According to the information provided by the Blue Water Star garrison, more than two thousand years later, each sandstorm in the desert would last for one or two days.
However, the sandstorm did not blow in one place all the time, but from one side to the other, and stopped after crossing the entire desert. Therefore, each area would only be subject to a storm lasting two to three hours at most.
The oasis where she was located had already been subject to a sandstorm for nearly two hours. Mai Dongzi comforted herself by saying that as long as she could hold on for another hour, the storm should be over.
But when she used her mental power to “scan” outside, Mai Dongzi’s self-consolation was shattered.
The sand dunes that Mai Dongzi originally thought were “moving” very slowly had moved more than two hundred meters in just over half an hour while she was concentrating on digging the tunnel.
Now the sand dunes closest to the oasis are almost approaching the edge of the oasis. In short, they are only thirty or forty meters away from the volcanic rock where Mai Dongzi is.
Although the sand dunes are only a dozen meters high, they are enough to bury the volcanic rock.
What’s more terrifying is that Mai Dongzi found that the wind around the oasis suddenly became smaller and the dim sky became brighter. The sunlight even penetrated the dust that was still flying all over the sky and fell weakly on the oasis, which was already covered with a layer of sand.
But in Mai Dongzi’s mental “sight”, the oasis was still surrounded by violent sandstorms.
What did this mean? It meant that the oasis was now in the eye of the storm, and another wave of violent sandstorms would soon arrive.
Maidongzi hesitated for only two seconds and immediately collected the things in the volcanic rock cave, crawled out of the original cave entrance that was buried by one-third of the sand, and ran towards the mutant poplar tree where she built the tree house.
This mutant poplar tree was the tallest in the oasis, with a height of nearly 20 meters.
In the previous violent sandstorm, the tree house built by Maidongzi had disappeared, but the poplar tree with a trunk of two or three meters was still standing there steadily, but the branches and leaves on the tree had been torn off, leaving only dead branches.
Mai Dongzi climbed up as fast as she could. The wind was not strong now, so she climbed smoothly and quickly.
She did not dare to climb to the top but stopped a little two meters away from the poplar tree. The branches of the poplar tree were too thin to bear her weight.
Mai Dongzi found a relatively sturdy branch, sat on it horizontally, took out the parachute rope from her space backpack, and tied herself to the poplar tree.
Just as she started to tie herself to the poplar tree with the parachute rope, the oasis became dark again, and the strong wind attacked the oasis with even more terrible force.
