There were eight cars in total. Each car could carry eight people, but they had brought a lot of luggage, so each car could carry four to six people.
The eight giant beasts let out a frenzied roar, and with the imposing manner of Godzilla, they charged along the highway towards the north.
A thousand miles from here, it was the end of the world.
The infrastructure in the Siberian region was average. The cities and the surrounding areas were not bad, and the roads were built. However, after going deep into the wilderness, there were no roads.
In this vast area, there were no roads connecting some cities, which showed how poor Russia's finances were. Compared to the United States and China, the local infrastructure was poor enough.
If they had driven an ordinary car, they would probably have had nowhere to go after leaving the road. However, sitting in these big cars, even if there were no roads on the tundra, it would still be smooth.
That day, it was not that they had nowhere to go after driving out of the city. After driving for more than five hours, they were far away from the city and had truly entered the Siberian Wilderness. It was then that they encountered the dilemma of having nowhere to go.
Of course, if they went directly to the Evenk Autonomous Region, it was not completely hopeless. Li Du wanted to go through the wilderness to see if they could meet some ivory hunters and ask them for information about the black snake.
The car was equipped with a satellite positioning system, which, when turned on, showed the road directions. They drove through the mountains and across the wilderness.
They were unlucky. In the morning, it was sunny, but at noon, the sky suddenly became gloomy.
Li Du asked, "There won't be heavy snow, will there?"
Hudi, who was sitting in the same car with him, had a grave expression. He stared out the window for a while and said, "No, judging by the weather, there should be strong winds, no rain or snow."
Li Du breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, the road conditions will not be too bad without rain or snow."
By this time, they were already very far away from the nearest city. The car entered the flat tundra, where the ground was full of small gravel and muddy water mixed with ice, and it was very difficult for the car to move.
Li Du looked out the window and did not see any green. He only saw some large and small fluffy balls rolling slowly on the ground.
He had done his homework before coming and knew what these fluffy balls were.
They were tumbleweeds, also known as Russian Thorny Salvia. They were annual herbs, ranging from 10 to 100 centimeters in height, and belonged to the category of semi-shrubs or shrubs.
As the name suggested, tumbleweed was dry grass that could roll in the wind. It was shaped like a ball, or a big ball of grass covered with small, dry branches and leaves.
Most people called them grassland "tramps", which were more common in the Siberian wilderness. When a drought came, they would pull their roots out of the soil, roll them into a ball, and roll around with the wind. When they found a place with abundant water, they would take root again and survive.
This was a type of plant with extremely strong vitality. As long as the environment was not too extreme, it would not wither and die. With the blowing of the wind, they would one day find an environment suitable for their growth, and then sprout new branches and buds.
Li Du glanced at the tumbleweed and shifted his gaze. This kind of grass was common in the wilderness, so there was nothing strange about it.
However, he soon realized how powerful this grass was.
The sky was overcast, and the car jolted for another hour or so. At this time, the wind began to pick up.
The first things to be affected by the wind were the tumbleweeds. These things danced in the air and would hit the car from time to time.
Of course, they were very light and would not cause any damage to the car.
However, this would affect people's vision. Moreover, the tumbleweeds had curved branches and a lot of coarse bristles on the surface. Once they came into contact with each other, they would stick to each other.
In this way, as the wind grew stronger, they would be blown into each other and stick together. Then, they would expand in size from a ball of grass that was less than a meter in diameter to a giant monster that was five or six meters tall, or even more than ten meters tall!
Seeing these monsters appear, Li Du took a deep breath. "D * mn, why are there so many of these things?"
Hudi panicked and said, "We're really unlucky. We've entered an area rich in tumbleweeds. Quickly inform everyone to stop the car and prepare for the wind …"
The wind was getting stronger. Not only did it blow the tumbleweeds around, but it also blew the gravel and ice on the ground.
The tumbleweeds were soft and not destructive, but the gravel and ice were different!
With a pitter patter, gravel and ice hit the car window like a drum. A gust of strong wind blew the tumbleweeds toward the front of the car. The old driver did not dare to turn the steering wheel. The ground was too slippery, and the wind was too strong.
In the end, the tumbleweeds hit the front of the car, or rather, the car went into it.
Now that the people in the car could not see, Li Du quickly took the walkie-talkie and said, "We're in trouble, old pals. What's the situation over there?"
Steve's voice sounded intermittently, "Not good, swoosh, our car is stuck in a mud pit, swoosh, swoosh …"
The sound was gone.
In the car behind, Brother Wolf said, "Boss, stop the car, we'll catch up right away, swoosh … swoosh, we can hear swoosh, swoosh …"
"F * ck!" Li Du cursed.
The driver said, "Don't stop the car, don't stop the car, Brother Wolf, don't stop the car! Otherwise, the muddy water will be blown into the exhaust pipe by the wind, and the car will never start again! "
There was no sound from the walkie-talkie. Li Du looked at the signal. There was no signal.
Hudi gritted his teeth and said, "We can't count on others. We have to take care of it ourselves. Keep driving forward and drive slowly. I'll show you the terrain from the rear window."
There was another sound from the walkie-talkie. It was Hankway. "There's a temporary camp nearby. Let's look around and split up. When we find it, we'll take shelter inside. Don't be afraid. Dry winds are common in Siberia in spring. It's okay. "
Li Du's situation was the worst. The front of the car was stuck in a pile of tumbleweeds, and the driver had to drive blindly.
He asked Hudi, "Do you know this temporary camp?"
Hudi hesitated and said, "I have some impression of it. Drive slowly. Let's look for it."
The driver said coldly, "We can't go fast now, guys."
The car drove slowly. There was a gust of wind that Li Du had never encountered before. Even the tornado in Melbourne did not feel this strong.
The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and the tumbleweeds on the front of the car were finally blown away. The people in the car were relieved, but the sky outside quickly darkened and a sandstorm appeared!
Siberia was very dry in spring, with a layer of gravel and frozen mud on the ground, and dry soil below.
When the gravel and frozen mud were blown away, the wind blew up the dry soil layer and eventually formed a sandstorm.
"What the f * ck!" Li Du said helplessly.
Ah Ow and the others looked out of the window. The bad weather scared them so much that they tucked their tails between their legs and cried out obediently.
In the darkness of the dust, Hudi tried to look around. Finally, with a happy expression on his face, he pointed to the side and said, "Ten o 'clock, ten o' clock, there's a temporary camp!"
