The Thirty-Fifth Chapter: Snow Flurry
New Book Recommendation:
Pray to heaven for protection? Zhao Zhong is an atheist. Although he won't belittle beliefs, he also won't offer his piety to anything vague and illusory. Compared to faith, he'd rather believe in himself, believe in the vehicle under him.
Pong!
It was as if he had heard a muffled sound, and Songba, who had been invaded by drowsiness, suddenly woke up. This was the sound of snow hitting something. Wasn't he inside the jeep? How could he hear this kind of sound?
Open your eyes, and in front of you is a vast expanse of whiteness.
"Snow? Is this snow?"
It seemed as if he was still a bit dazed, and Song Ba didn't quite understand the situation. When he glanced to one side, his eyes suddenly fell into darkness again.
Songba's body trembled with surprise, and when he saw Zhao Zhong sitting in the driver's seat, his dark figure, he suddenly remembered. He was now on his way to the county town because of illness, sent by Zhao Zhong, but what about the snow just now? Thinking of this, Songba turned his face around.
Pong!
It was the same voice, and Sonba turned around to see his eyes covered with a layer of white snow again. When he habitually raised his hand to cover his face, he found that the white snow in front of him had slowly slid down, and his eyes were still those slightly dark-tinted glass windows.
"What's going on here?"
Song Ba was after all a snowfield guide, and he quickly reacted to the situation. The car was driving against the wind. But wasn't he on his way back to the county town now? How did it become against the wind again?
"It's windy."
On the side, Zhao Zhong's voice was both dull and distant. Songba's face changed immediately after a brief pause. He finally remembered the whole story, the blizzard had entered the stage of releasing energy on the spot, which was the worst situation.
"When did it start."
"Not long after, about 10 minutes or so! However, the wind direction was quite chaotic, and the general wind direction was still okay, but there were indeed situations where the wind blew in the opposite direction."
After fully waking up, Songba felt a bit ashamed of his own slackness. Is it time for him to sleep now? Letting comrades who are unclear about the snowy terrain face the blizzard alone is the greatest shame for a snowy guide.
Fortunately, Zhao Zhong's words reminded him that his own battle had just begun.
Pong!
The carriage shook slightly, not from the front, but this time it was a snowstorm coming from the side. What a terribly disorderly backwind! Although he knew it wasn't the right moment to say so, Song Ba still let out a sigh in his heart.
"What's the current speed of the car?"
"120 kilometers."
He was taken aback for a moment, and Song Ba's heart skipped a beat. His voice involuntarily rose in astonishment: "What? 120 kilometers, how did you accelerate to this speed under these conditions?"
"Now we can still barely see the direction of the wind, but after a while, when we can only see the road surface under the headlights of the car in front, it will be impossible to speed up no matter how hard we try."
When speaking, Zhao Zhong didn't turn his head at all, his eyes fixed tightly on the Gobi wilderness outside the car window. Because he had already grasped the basic condition of the vehicle and the road conditions hadn't changed much, he was now focusing his attention on observing the wind and snow swirling in the nearby wilderness.
Although this does not necessarily guarantee that I can react ahead of time, after all, the car still has some weight and is not as easy to push as those snowflakes. Maybe because of different wind directions, there will also be times when reactions are slow, but overall my skills should still be able to cope.
"Can you still see now? What are you going to do when you can't see later?"
Calm down, or rather, when Songba decided to face reality, he also knew that it was very difficult for him to command Zhao Zhong to dodge the blizzard blowing from different directions in the car.
"I'm studying, but the most difficult part is still Liudao Gou, you can imagine what the situation is like!"
Man and car as one, although this is just a fantasy realm, Zhao Zhong knew that he must now go all out to pursue the feeling of being one with the car. Using his body to feel everything the car was experiencing, adjusting the direction and speed of the car's advance in response to its subtle reactions to the storm.
Although he didn't understand what Zhao Zhong meant by "studying", Songba knew not to disturb him when he saw Zhao Zhong's focused eyes.
Perhaps he can still talk to himself, perhaps he can still communicate with himself, but his mind is probably no longer on the present, but focused on something. This is just like how a guide in the snowy mountains will not tolerate anyone going against him once he enters his professional domain, and Zhao Zhong is now in the same situation.
Song Ba knew that even if he said something else to Zhao Zhong, the latter wouldn't listen. Song Ba couldn't help but feel a little admiration for him - how could he have such great concentration?
"Liudao Gou is a downhill road section with many turns. Although the slope is not steep, the curvature is very large, which has a great impact on the vehicle's turning force. Even in normal times, we cannot drive at high speed and can only move slowly along the mountain body, being careful every time we reach a possible turn."
Although the blizzard has just begun, Songba believes that once the two jeeps enter Liu Dao Gou, the storm may have reached its most violent stage, and the phenomenon of the blizzard can only be more severe than it is now.
Of course, except for one situation, that is, Zhao Zhongneng keeps driving the car in front of the blizzard, maintaining this small tailwind condition all the time, which may be relatively safer.
However, Song Ba can also see Zhao Zhong's efforts, but he doesn't dare to put all his hopes on it now. After all, the blizzard on the Gobi Desert is not born for anyone, nor will it specially offer miracles for anyone.
"I know, but you'd better not sleep now, I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of you."
When Zhao finished speaking vaguely, he felt the car's shaking and suddenly turned the steering wheel sharply. "Squeak!" The car body immediately slanted and rushed out.
Before he could understand what was happening, Song Ba felt his body lighten slightly, as if half of it had already flipped over.
"Oh no, the car is going to overturn!"
Just as Song Ba was shocked, "Boom!" The car body shook and swayed twice, and the Jeep fell back to the ground, speeding forward quickly, with only the sound of anti-skid chains scraping against the icy surface making a "squeaky" noise.
"Is it okay like this?"
Songba, who is also a qualified driver while being a mountain guide, did not expect such a driving method and was shocked in his heart. Using the car's bumps to provide acceleration power, probably only four-wheel drive, low-chassis jeeps can do it, on the condition that the driver must have corresponding skills.
As if in a constant shaking, up and down tossing motion, the small jeep was resolutely speeding through the blizzard, as if driving to the end of the world.
