Chapter 1251 Distress

"Let's drive over and have a look." Someone said everyone's thoughts.

Nabari frowned, looked at the sky, and raised an objection: "It's going to be dark soon, it's better to wait until daytime..."

"No, there may still be survivors." Lipett shook his head.

No matter who drove that car into the desert, it’s definitely not okay to leave it alone. Everyone wants to find out the truth, and it’s against the spirit of humanity to leave it alone—it’s too dark and too close to see the specific situation. It can be seen that the car is half buried in the sand, maybe the driver is still nearby, not out of trouble, waiting for people to come to rescue.

Time is life. If there is a real victim, waiting overnight may kill that person.

Besides, an off-road vehicle of unknown condition is staying nearby, so everyone will definitely not be able to sleep well tonight.

After a little discussion, everyone quickly drew up a plan-the drone retreated, looked for a gentle slope on the sand ridge, drove over the sand ridge collectively, and then drove to the car to check the situation and set up camp by the way.

Everyone was very curious about the truth about the car, and the onlookers dispersed in a rush, and all returned to their cars, gearing up for departure.

Zhang Zian withdrew the drone, flew flat on the sand ridge and found a place with a gentle slope, allowing everyone to climb over the sand ridge and come to the other side of the dune.

At this time, the sky was completely dark, and each car turned on its headlights, illuminating the surrounding area in white.

If you are hiking through the desert, the best choice is to go out at night, avoid the strong sunlight and high temperature during the day, and rest during the day and walk at night to reduce the loss of water in the body.

But if you drive, it is very dangerous to drive at night in the desert. Generally, you will try to avoid driving at night, because the sand is rough and undulating, and it is dark outside the range of the headlights. Visual fatigue, unable to detect danger in time.

Nabari was able to suggest a stop over the intercom.

"Mr. Wei Kang, Mr. Lipett, the situation ahead is unclear. If you insist on going to investigate, I think it's best not to go there together. It's better to send a few cars to scout first."

Although Wei Kang and Li Pitt didn't think it was necessary, they still respected Nabari's opinion.

After discussion, it was decided that Nabari, Li Pete, Wei Kang, and Zhang Zian would go to check the situation, and the other cars would stand by.

In fact, everyone wants to see first,

But there was no choice but to stay honestly and listen to the live broadcast through the walkie-talkie.

Instead, the four vehicles drove side by side at intervals of a few meters, heading towards the approximate location of the off-road vehicle half buried in the sand, so that the combined lights could cover a large area, ensuring safety without missing any clues.

The images obtained from the drone could not accurately judge the distance. The four of them felt that they had driven quite a distance, but they still did not see the car.

They glanced at the rearview mirror from time to time. The headlights of the large troops behind them were very bright, and they still shone through the darkness even though they were far away, but the lights flickered, which proved that the sandy land had a large undulation.

Suddenly, the high beams seem to hit a slightly reflective object, which may be the off-road vehicle.

"Stop! Stop! Stop!"

Nabari suddenly yelled.

Zhang Zian reacted quickly, he was the first to step on the brakes, and stepped on the brakes all at once, the tires rolled up a lot of sand and stopped quickly.

Li Pete also stepped on the brakes, but not as decisively as Zhang Zian did, sliding forward a few meters before stopping.

Wei Kang's reaction was a bit slow, and he slid forward for more than ten meters before stopping - although he stopped, but the posture of the vehicle seemed to be problematic, and the front wheel on one side seemed to be sunken.

Wei Kang just braked the car, but did not turn off the engine. He shook violently in the car, as if a horse stumbled. Fortunately, he was wearing a seat belt, otherwise his head might hit the steering wheel.

He felt that the front wheels seemed to be stuck in a pothole, and instinctively shifted to reverse gear, trying to reverse the car.

"Don't move! Don't move!"

Nabari yelled, and jumped out of the car, running towards Wei Kang's car.

But it's too late.

Not only did Wei Kang not reverse the car, but the wildly spinning wheels dug out a large amount of sand, which seemed to have the opposite effect, disturbing the structure of the deep sand, not only the front wheel on one side, but even the rear wheel began to sink.

"Professor Wei Kang! Get out of the car!" Seeing the emergency, Zhang Zian grabbed the walkie-talkie and shouted.

"Get ready to pull the rope!" Li Pete also reacted, "Don't let the car sink!"

Wei Kang's face was pale, and his body was sweating profusely. He trembled and let go of the steering wheel and accelerator.

A word suddenly jumped into everyone's mind - quicksand!

They understood why the off-road vehicle in front was trapped in the sand, probably because it also encountered quicksand.

Quicksand is terrible, like a ravenous bottomless pit, trying to swallow anything that passes through it. The most frightening thing is that the surface of quicksand is often no different from ordinary sand, and you will only notice it when you walk up and sink.

The off-road vehicle was heavy and loaded, and sank very quickly. In the blink of an eye, the sand covered the bottom of the door, and Wei Kang couldn't even open the door.

"The window! Get out of the window!" Nabari yelled.

Wei Kang was completely panicked, and only then did he remember that the car window can also escape. He is thin and thin, and he can get out of the car window.

He rolled down the car window, struggled to get half of his body out of the car window, sat on the car window frame with his buttocks, and looked down, as if hesitating whether he could jump out.

"Don't jump! Get on the roof! Jump down and you'll be buried with the car!" Nabari shouted.

Wei Kang gritted his teeth and spent a lot of effort. Relying on his frequent field trips and good physical fitness, he successfully climbed from the car window to the roof of the car, lying on the roof, holding the luggage rack with both hands, his face was as white as Copy Paper.

At this time, Zhang Zian had already taken out the leash from his car, and threw it towards Wei Kang from a distance. He didn't know how big the quicksand was, so he didn't dare to stand too close, but the traction rope itself was very heavy, and it was thrown sideways the first and second time, and Wei Kang didn't catch it until the third time.

Lipett had already turned his car around, Zhang Zian tied one end of the tow rope to the tow hook on the back of Lipett's car, and then let Wei Kang jump out of the car.

Wei Kang gritted his teeth, jumped down with his eyes closed, his legs sank into the sand immediately, and felt a suction force deep in the sand, dragging his feet down. Now the traction rope was his life-saving straw. He pulled on the rope with all his strength and wrapped it around his arm several times.

Li Pete lightly stepped on the accelerator, the traction rope stretched straight, the horsepower of the engine easily defeated the suction of the quicksand, and dragged Wei Kang from the quicksand to a safe place.
