Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Sandstorm Rages
The next morning, the expedition drove on the road, this time with fewer people, and the rest were all frowning, and if it weren't for the curse on them, they would rather leave the death-filled Egypt than the smell of death, they were fed up with being hunted down by the mummies.
"First to Cairo and then to Aswan by train. Looking at the map, Tang Zheng dispelled the idea of driving directly to the Abu Simbel Temple, not to mention that the simple long-distance travel facilities would seriously drain people's physical strength and spirit.
As the head of the regiment, Tang Zheng must take into account all the conditions, keep the physical fitness of the members in the best condition as much as possible, and use it in the fight of the crisis.
"It's only 12 hours by train, it's great." Lu Fan was very happy, she felt that running on the broken road in a pickup truck for two days would make her bones fall apart.
Hearing the news, the Foreign Legion and the workers cheered in unison, they could finally return to human society, but Tang Zheng's next sentence made them feel that they had been hit by a happy stone.
"I found a way to use the Bible of the Dead last night, and now I will lift the curse for you." Before going on the road, Tang Zheng gathered more than 100 people and said.
After the commotion, everyone lowered their breath and stared at Tang Zheng anxiously and expectantly.
Seeing Tang Zheng stuff the golden sage beetle into the groove of the cover, George subconsciously took a step back, he didn't forget the death of the unlucky ghost Meru.
Ramses II's soulful voice drifted into the air again, and after Tang Zheng flipped through the books and recited three love poems, a cloud of black mist began to float out of everyone's body, and the rotten flesh began to recover at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"It's a pity, this Bible of the Dead has no other use except for its bad effects, and it overlaps with the effects of daylilies, but there is no need to waste my physical strength." Tang Zheng put away the Bible and announced the departure of the convoy.
"Why did you lift the curse? Isn't it good to hold on to the handle? Pang Meiqin, who was driving, was puzzled: "With more cannon fodder, you can also share the attack." ”
Emma glanced at Pang Meiqin and thought that this person was too evil, but Tang Zheng was kind, but a word from the young man in the East almost choked her to death.
"Aren't you afraid that they will bite back before they die.? Besides, if you go to Cairo and then to Aswan, there will be many travelers along the way, which is enough to be cannon fodder. Tang Zheng glanced at Emma and analyzed, "But I don't think the queen will be so mad." ,…
"The whole town of Siwa is gone." Emma muttered angrily.
"Then you can go to Cairo to lift the curse? In case someone is going to leave the team...... Pang Meiqin couldn't go on, and she wasn't too stupid to think of the reason, "It's true that if they don't team up with us, it may be more dangerous, after all, the town of Siwa behind them is an example." ”
"Leaving now is the right choice." Tang Zheng sighed, he took advantage of the herd effect of the crowd, after all, if he wanted to go back to Cairo, he thought that it would be safe for everyone to go together, but what the workers didn't expect was that Tang Zheng and his party were plague gods, and they would attract the queen's mummy soldiers in a steady stream.
But this time it was not mummies, but sandstorms, looking at the sand and dust gradually pouring in from the right side of the road, climbing from the initial ten centimeters to more than one meter high in one minute, those local Egyptian workers changed their faces, urging the convoy to speed up and rush with all their might.
The sand and dust are usually blown by hurricanes at speeds of more than 150 kilometers per hour, like a shrunken war hammer, crashing on the glass and iron sheet of automobiles, crackling and piercing.
"It's too late to run away, boss, give us an RV and five pickups." The foreman grabbed the walkie-talkie and roared that he had to take responsibility for his workers, that it was too dangerous for the trucks with no enclosed space to survive the sandstorm.
"Go and negotiate with George yourself." Since these people had quit their jobs, Jasons didn't bother to care about them, and called Tang Zheng after a perfunctory sentence.
"Let's get in the RV, it's safe here." Through the window, watching the long stretch of yellow sand that covered the sky and the sun swept through everything like a tsunami, blowing the RV creaking and stray off the road, Jasons' face turned pale, and he needed strong bodyguards to stay by his side to feel safe.
"Do you think I'll still be able to get out? Even if you don't get blown away, breathing is a problem. Tang Zheng replied angrily, he also wanted to hide in the RV, but the reality was too cruel, and the main body of the sandstorm had already come.
Emma and Pang Meiqin's faces were a little pale, and their faces were frightened, because at this time, they could not see anything but the yellow sand and dust, and a sense of loneliness in the confined space immediately struck. , squeak, Pang Meiqin stepped on the brakes, and then drove out of the car, maybe she would collide with someone.
"Stop, all park, stay put." Seeing that they could not break out of the range of the sand city storm, the anxious voices of the foreman and George rang out at the same time, warning the convoy.
The first pickup truck did not stop, trying to rush out at full speed, but first the tires pressed on the stones, the body bumped, and then it was blown over by the sand and dust, rolled off the road, and the side was more than ten meters away, and the four GIs inside also fainted.
The truck was better. Every pickup truck and Hummer is like a boat in the middle of a storm, rocking incessantly, and as the wind speed increases, it begins to move laterally, and the right side tires are lifted off the ground.
"Qin Yan, Manli, Chu Bai 1" Don't think about getting into the RV to escape, stay in the pickup, and don't come out no matter what happens. Tang Zheng turned on the walkie-talkie assigned to them and notified the other three Humvees, but the signal was affected, it was all rustling noise, and the sound of speech was intermittent, and it was impossible to hear clearly.
"To each his own destiny." Pang Meiqin was a little secretly happy, fortunately, she practiced her driving skills hard after strengthening it at the beginning, otherwise Tang Zheng would not have wanted to be the exclusive driver himself, but unfortunately, if Emma is not there, it will be a perfect world for two.
After the panic at the beginning of the nose, Mei Tuǐ The flight attendant also calmed down, anyway, with Tang Zheng here, there was no big problem.
"Don't be stunned, squeeze to the right and press the body down." Tang Zheng stuck to Emma, but he couldn't care about whether men and women kissed or not.
Emma stared out the window and stretched out her hand to Tang Zheng, wanting to seek some comfort, but pressed on his lower body, and her face immediately turned red.
Tang Zhenglou stretched out his hand tightly and grabbed her.
"Dust storms can move millions of tons of sand for kilometers in a matter of hours, and the biggest hazard is suffocation and blindness, but luckily we have car bunkers, and it's okay to get through it." Tang Zheng comforted the two women, but in his heart he was worried about Qin Yan and the others, "At this time, I am afraid of panic, and if I am in a hurry, I may make the wrong choice of losing my life." Listening to Tang Zheng's calm voice, Emma gradually calmed down, but the disaster was not alone, hundreds of irregular stones the size of coconut were rolling rapidly on the ground, like a battering ram.
Hit it hard.
"Ahh Emma screamed and hugged Tang Zheng deadly.
"General!" Tang Zheng didn't dare to use gravity to suppress, in this terrifying natural disaster, that gravity is a drop in the bucket, and it definitely can't block the impact of the stones, and neither can the generals, it just appeared on the right side of the body, and before it was ready, the stones had already blasted up.
Boom, boom, the continuous impact of more than a dozen pieces, coupled with the speed that was already as high as 180 kilometers per hour, made the military general retreat three steps in a row, and crashed into the pickup truck with a bang.
The stones come from weathered ruins and even have carved huā patterns on them, but at this point they are deadly.
Bang, a stone hit the front cover of the car, and suddenly smashed into a dent, the whole body was shaking, Tang Zheng couldn't let the generals move to block, it had to ensure that the glass window could not be broken, otherwise the sand and dust would pour into the car, it would be difficult.
Luck didn't favor Tang Zheng all the time, and the military general blocked the bombardment of more than forty pieces, but a few stones the size of half a coconut hit the rear of the car continuously, directly causing the pickup truck to roll over.
Tang Zheng immediately felt a whirlwind of the sky, in addition to the sound of collision, there were also the screams of two women, who lost the protection of their arms, and the stones rushed towards them like meteors.
Bang, bang, the iron sheet of the body is deformed, and even the rear windshield is so unlucky that it is smashed, and a large amount of sand and dust is poured in, which instantly fills the cabin and makes the air turbid.
In just ten seconds, everyone felt like they had gone through hell.
Tang Zheng hurriedly straightened the general's overturned body.
Ahem, the foul air flow made Emma taste that terrible suffocation, and the sand inhaled into the lung cavity also made her cough out, but with one mouth, more sand was poured into the trachea.
Tang Zheng quickly covered her mouth, Emma looked up, and saw Pang Meiqin fainting, her head hit the glass, and a trail of blood flowed, Tang Zheng's forehead and cheeks were also broken with three live wounds, blood flowed sideways, obviously cut by broken glass, only she was safe, because at the moment when the car overturned, Tang Zheng hugged herself, feeling the warm Xiōng chest, Emma was moved and wanted to cry.
Tang Zheng put his hand into Emma's collar and wanted to grab the vest.
"No, what is he going to do?" Sensing that the big hand touched the rǔ room, Emma almost groaned, instinctively resisted, and twisted her body.
Tang Zheng originally tried to avoid touching Emma's xiōng part, but she turned around and made him completely grasp the rǔ room, and the soft touch almost made him salute his lower body, "Doesn't this woman like to wear underwear?" Tang Zheng's hand covering Emma's mouth and nose quickly pressed it a few times to remind her.
Emma hadn't arrived home stupidly yet, seeing Tang Zheng's serious eyes, she knew that she would definitely be wrong, so she quickly calmed down and let Tang Zheng do it.
Tearing and pulling, Tang Zheng used brute force to pull out the vest, divided it into two pieces, and after helping her on the face, leaned over to stop the bleeding and filter the breathing of Pang Meiqin, who had already fainted, otherwise if she waited for a few more minutes, Mei Tuǐ The stewardess would definitely suffocate to death, but he was not idle in this process, and took out an oxygen tank. @。
