Chapter 906 The Wheels Roll Across the Desert
After finishing all that, Chu Chen opened the door of the armored vehicle and rushed inside.
Then I started the car, activated the closed mode, turned on all the interior lights, and quietly waited for the sandstorm to arrive.
"Chu Chen, if nothing unexpected happens, the center of the sandstorm is moving forward. Judging from the current concentration, it should arrive here in less than half an hour."
Looking at the yellowish-brown landscape outside, Sha Yanyan said to Chu Chen with a worried expression.
"Don't worry, if the sandstorm here can even sweep away those big ships outside, then we can only leave it to fate."
"No, no, no, Chu Chen, it's not being swept away, it's being pierced through. Then we'll be like the eye of a storm. Without protection, even with Ba Tiancheng's and my strength, we won't last long."
"At that time, our bodies will be completely swallowed up by these sand grains."
After listening, Chu Chen thought to himself, "That's right. It seems there really aren't enough transport ships on the first floor."
If what Sha Yanyan said is true, then they will be facing an attack like a volley of bullets.
They are all human beings. Even though they are stronger than ordinary people and their physical defenses are much stronger, they are still mortals, not gods.
Moreover, even if you manage to get a helicopter out now, you'll probably be attacked halfway there.
"You all stay in the car and don't move. I'm going out for a bit."
After Chu Chen finished speaking, he opened the car door and got out.
Faced with a sandstorm and extremely low visibility, Chu Chen put on a mask and then flashed into the space.
In just a short while, Chu Chen reappeared in the same spot.
But the next moment, with a wave of his hand, he created thick steel plates all around him.
Under Chu Chen's control, these steel plates slowly formed a sturdy fortress.
After laying sixteen steel plates around the armored vehicle, Chu Chen returned to the vehicle.
Each steel plate is four or five centimeters thick, and huge steel blocks are used for support next to the steel plates.
The four steel plates each provide support, the purpose of which is to prevent them from collapsing in the wind and sand.
If it falls, it will crush everything, let alone armored vehicles, into a flat iron disc.
After doing all this, Chu Chen stared intently out the window and then said to everyone, "Junkenzi, you hold onto Brother Ba, and Yan Yan, you hold onto me. If anything unusual happens, I'll make sure you're safe."
After hearing this, Sha Yanyan and Ba Tiancheng immediately realized something.
Ba Tiancheng grabbed Chen Qingxuan's hand, while Chu Chen placed one hand on his shoulder.
With his other hand, Chu Chen didn't stop either, pulling Sha Yanyan into his arms.
Sha Yanyan had never been so close to that man before.
However, during that special period, she did not resist.
She had been to this place before, but for some reason, the sandstorms there were never as terrifying as they were today.
Feeling Chu Chen's breathing and heartbeat, Sha Yanyan immediately felt a strange sensation in her body.
Although it wasn't exactly a southerly windy day, it was still quite touching.
Chu Chen didn't care about anything else; his eyes were fixed on the screen inside the car. Because there were cameras all around, he could roughly see what was happening outside under the lights.
If the steel plate shows any unusual movement, he will not hesitate to take the three of them into the space.
No one spoke at that moment; the only sounds were the crackling of sand and dust hitting the transport ship outside and everyone's heavy breathing.
About an incense stick later, suddenly, a loud noise reached everyone's ears.
It's like countless large-caliber bullets are attacking the fortifications outside.
"Chu Chen, get ready, the eye of the sandstorm is probably coming!"
Chu Chen nodded after listening, gripping the others tightly with his hands: "Don't worry, the defenses I've set up should be able to withstand it."
After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the sound grew louder and louder. Chu Chen could clearly hear the transport ships being pierced, and then the sound of gravel hitting the steel plates.
"They're here. Everyone get ready. If we can weather this storm, everything should be fine."
"Don't worry, with Chu Chen around, none of us will die!"
And so, none of the people in the car spoke; they simply waited quietly.
About half an hour later, finally, all the sounds disappeared.
All that remained was the endless yellow sand outside, which had dyed the entire space yellow.
Chu Chen released Sha Yanyan, opened the car door and got out, then waved his hand to retrieve a steel plate from the top and leaped outside.
When he stepped outside, what he saw, even in the dim light, shocked Chu Chen.
From the direction the sandstorm came from, the two transport ships had been reduced to rubble, with steel fragments scattered all over the ground.
Chu Chen roughly counted the sixteen layers of steel plates; six of them were completely destroyed by the sandstorm. This showed just how powerful the sandstorm was.
Without these things, they would probably have had to enter the space to avoid it.
After Chu Chen waved his hand and put away the transport ships, the other three came to his side.
"Tsk tsk, this sandstorm is really strange, how come it's so powerful?"
Ba Tiancheng looked at the steel fragments scattered on the ground and the shattered steel plates, and said with lingering fear.
Sha Yanyan was also quite shocked by this scene, but after looking at the horizon, she immediately said to Chu Chen, "Chu Chen, let's hurry up and leave here. It wouldn't be good if it happened again."
Chu Chen nodded after listening and waved his hand to collect the steel plates.
Then, after leading the three of them onto the armored vehicle, they drove off towards the desert city.
Just then, at the boundary between the yellow sand and the primeval forest, a group of people looked at the sandstorm that had just passed.
A man spoke up, "Lord Niu, our new city lord should have been reduced to ashes in this sandstorm by now!"
"Haha, a sandstorm that happens only once in a century, looks like our credit is out of the question!"
Niu Zi glanced at his men and shook his head in disappointment.
"Alright, alright, since there's nothing else, let's go back!"
After saying that, he prepared to lead a group of people back to their camp, but just as they were about to turn around, a sharp-eyed subordinate pointed to the distance ahead and shouted.
"Lord Niu, what is that?"
After listening, Niu Zi looked in the direction he was pointing and his face immediately lit up with excitement.
"Hahaha, it seems our city lord is quite capable. He managed to escape unscathed amidst such a fierce sandstorm. Let's play with him for a while."
Following Niu Zi's words, everyone looked towards the yellow sand and saw a small black dot in the distance approaching, bringing with it a trail of dust.
