"How far are we from the next gas station?" Fojin sat in the driver's seat, helplessly looking at the long yellow sand outside.

"Uh...... I think it's a mile or so. Hugo looked at the map spread out in his hand and said uncertainly.

When Fokine heard Hugo's voice, he turned around and saw Hugo with a blank face, almost choking on his own saliva, "Neil, I said don't give the map to Hugo, have you forgotten?" Pedro and Alfonso, who were standing outside the car, turned their heads to look over, and immediately saw Hugo sitting in the passenger seat, buried in the map, and then looked at Neil accusatory.

Innocent Neil raised his hands in surrender, "I just put the map in the passenger seat, you can't blame me." ”

"Hey! You guys! Hugo looked up dissatisfied, "I'm just looking at the map, and I'm not trying to destroy it." ”

"The question is, do you understand?" Fokine's words immediately made Hugo infinitely smaller.

Hugo looked at the map in his hand and was very dazed, he couldn't tell where it was, all kinds of colors on the map made people 'dazzled' and 'confused', and countless place names were scattered on the uneven 'color' blocks of the division, which was really a headache. Fokine's voice then came, "You're looking at the state of Arkaennessee. ”

Hugo was immediately embarrassed, they should still be near Nevada, obviously, Akon 'sex' and Tennessee are not next to Nevada, which means that the map he just looked at is completely wrong. After being reminded by Fokine, Hugo soon saw the Atlantic Ocean on his right, so Hugo put away the map in amazement.

When they set off from San Francisco, they asked Hugo to take a map to show them the way, but Hugo directly guided them to the north, their target was Las Vegas in the south, and they ended up going around Oregon (on) for half a circle, and then returned to Nevada, and the road was delayed for most of the day.

Later, when they were about to arrive in Las Vegas, Hugo pointed them to the wrong way, causing them to take the wrong fork in the road and arrive at Henderson by mistake, and from then on, the band members knew Hugo's idiot's sense of direction, and the map was no longer in Hugo's management.

Hugo depressedly put the map in the storage cabinet in front of the passenger seat, he tried very hard to identify the direction and learn the map, but was hit again and again by this group of people, which was really disappointing.

Hugo looked around, the endless desert spread endlessly in the sight, the sun that had just risen not long ago hung obliquely in the sky, the gray cactus in the dust could hardly see the original green 'color', only the dark gray 'color' stones dotted with this sandy soil, the dark brown 'color' at the end of the sight and the precipitated blue 'color' on the edge of the sky 'blended' together, people couldn't tell the boundary between the ground and the sky, but they felt that it was the end of the earth.

Interstate Highway No. 15 in front of you stretches all the way to the distance, and the arc that gradually climbs up seems to be 'intertwined' with the sky, and when you reach the end of the highway, you can touch the gray 'cloud' and 'cloud' in general, look before and after, the whole highway is empty and uninhabited, even if it is a lizard that comes out for a walk, you can't see one, the whole world is in addition to the wind and sand or wind and sand, and the yellow 'color' that spreads all over the sky makes people dizzy for a while.

The band left Las Vegas early in the morning when it was dark, intending to drive out of the desert to Salt Lake City before the sun had fully risen. lake。 city), this part of the journey is not so difficult. But who knew that the car broke down halfway, Alfonso knew how to repair it, but there were not enough tools, so the band was stranded in the desert.

At this time, if there is a car passing by, stop and borrow a little tool, then there is no problem, but after waiting for nearly half an hour, there is no figure at all. So just now, Fujin wondered if he could walk to the gas station, borrow some tools, and then come back to repair the car. However, Hugo's "one mile" answer was obviously unreliable, and Fokine took the map out of the storage cabinet again and flipped through it himself.

Hugo thought for a moment, pushed the 'door' and stepped out of the car, holding his mobile phone to try to find a signal, if he could find a signal, he could call the information desk and ask for the phone number of the Las Vegas garage to see if there was a garage willing to provide out-of-town service. However, in the desert wilderness, it is not easy to find a signal.

Hugo looked at the bricks in his hand and couldn't help sighing, even in the 21st century, in such a wilderness place, the mobile phone signal will not be very good, let alone now. Hugo fiddled with his phone, looked at the signal above it, and walked all the way, but the signal never changed, which was really frustrating.

Suddenly, the bricks in Hugo's hand began to chirp, which made Hugo suddenly 'show' a look of surprise, if you can answer the phone, does it mean that you can make a call, Hugo quickly picked up the phone, "Hello?" Hello! Hello......" Hugo's voice kept echoing in the desert, but he couldn't get a response from the other party, which made Hugo's newly raised confidence suddenly fall to the bottom again, which was really disappointing.

"Hugo? Rain...... Guo ......" Just as Hugo was about to hang up the phone, the intermittent sound on the phone mixed with a lot of noise came out, and Hugo immediately put the phone close to his ear, "Yes, yes, I'm here!" Who's there? ”

After Hugo finished speaking, there was another silence, and there was a crackling sound in the earpiece, which made Hugo wonder if the phone was burned out, but then the voice became clear in an instant, "Hugo, I'm Charlize, where are you?" Why is the sound so 'messy'? ”

The surprise on Hugo's face bloomed in an instant, and this time he heard it very clearly, Hugo looked around, and then stood motionless, wondering if it was because this place had the best signal, "I'm in the desert, you say." ”

Unexpectedly, this time Charlize also heard it clearly, and her voice quickly came back, "Why did you leave so early today?" I thought you were still in the casino. ”

"Don't talk about that yet, you can help me check the phone number of the Vegas garage, our car is broken." Hugo hurriedly said that this was their greatest hope at the moment.

"I'm at home, and I don't have the Yellow Pages of Vegas at home, remember?" Charlize said helplessly, "Besides, are you sure you want me to hang up the phone?" "If you hang up the phone, it's impossible to say if you can call in again.

Hugo was speechless for a while, it was really frustrating, sure enough, the backwardness of communication equipment in the early nineties was too troublesome, his current mobile phone could not send text messages, and there was no way for Charlize to go out to check and then send text messages to inform, so the situation was really tangled. Charlize asked, "Where are you now?" There must be cars passing by. ”

Hugo just wanted to move his steps to vent his frustration, but he found that he only moved a step, and his voice became blurred again, so he could only obediently retract his steps and stand in place stunned, "This is our only hope now." "Now that the sun has fully risen, there should be a car passing by. Hugo looked at the road to the end, but he never saw any shadow, "It's just that this neighborhood is too ...... Desolate, I wonder if I've gone into some desert depths. ”

"If you lead the way...... Charlize said with a smile, leaving Hugo speechless for a moment.

Hugo stood in place, looking at the boundless yellow sand in front of him, "But the scenery here is really amazing." Do you know? I was now standing on the road, and when I looked ahead, it was a whole patch of sand, and there was no end in sight, as if I had been running forward for a day and a night without finding an end. At the far end of the line of sight, you can see two large mounds of earth, but I guess if you look closer, it should be a small hill, the whole sky is 'clouded' with yellow sand, and even the sun looks orange. ”

Charlize was originally standing in the hall on the phone, but listening to Hugo's description, she couldn't help but walk to the window of the house, looking at the busy scene downstairs and the sun just rising in the sky, imagining the boundless yellow sand scene in front of her, and the exclamation involuntarily bloomed in her mind.

"There was a big patch of sand behind me, and I couldn't see any difference, and I would have liked to see a lizard or rattlesnake or something like that, but there was nothing, not even the cactus seemed to be buried in the sand, which was really disappointing." Hugo's words made Charlize laugh, "But you still have to admit that this is really spectacular, you stand here, you feel like an ant, everything around you is infinitely magnified, you can't go to the edge at all, this is nature, it makes people look so small." ”

Charlize couldn't help but raise his head and look at the clear sky of Los Angeles, imagining that this sky was covered with a layer of yellow sand, and involuntarily murmured, "If I were standing next to you now, it would be good." ”

Hugo heard Charlize's words and chuckled, "You can come here now, it's still too late." This made Charlize laugh out loud, and now Charlize is still training in Los Angeles, so she naturally can't embark on a journey like Hugo.

"I stood on Highway 15, and the whole highway was like a staff in Moses' hand, splitting the whole desert in half, clearly distinguishing the two worlds, as if I could reach heaven by walking south along the road." Hugo looked back at the infinitely stretching road beneath his feet, his gaze resting on the sky at the end of the road, and he kept marveling.

"I guess it's going north, Hugo." Charlize suddenly said, which was very disturbing, which made Hugo suddenly depressed. Charlize knew that Hugo was heading to Salt Lake City, so in terms of direction, it should be all the way north. As if feeling Hugo's depression on the other end of the phone, Charlize couldn't help but 'show' a sly smile, "You don't have to keep ticking. Lead me, I won't go on a journey with you. ”
