Chapter 34 The Wind Moves

Chapter 34 The Wind Moves
When facing the storm that almost blew away the off-road vehicle loaded with supplies, Xu Feng felt a little regretful.

He realized that the intensity of the storm in the movie plot was only for reference... The plot did not change, but in the plot, the protagonist's father was only facing the smallest cyclone.

And this cyclone in Asia is the largest!
The good news is that the center of the super cyclone that was about to pass through Asia was not in their path.

Based on the current main wind direction, Hanasaka Shoko estimated that the eye of the typhoon was at least a thousand kilometers to the west of them, and they did not have to face the coldest high-altitude cold air.

The bad news was that their route passed through the central snowstorm area of the super cyclone and they had to face extremely severe blizzards.

In terms of modern technology, most vehicles are made of metal, but due to their hollow structure, when the doors and windows are closed, the density of ordinary cars is not high, even lower than water, so it is not surprising that vehicles are blown by the wind.

The reincarnations were riding in off-road vehicles, which were more resistant to wind. At the same time, because they were afraid of being trapped in the wind and snow, they filled the vehicles with various supplies.

Diesel fuel, drinking water, food, vehicle repair tools, plus the luggage that the reincarnators originally carried, weighed a total of two or three tons.

These supplies prevented the car from going any faster, but also made it much more stable when facing strong winds.

Of course, it is only stable.

The reincarnations need to travel northeast, but the area they are currently in is experiencing southeast winds blowing northwest.

If we continue on our journey, the off-road vehicle will face extremely strong crosswinds.

Driving in a crosswind of more than ten levels is no different from seeking death.

Therefore, the group of reincarnations had to find a sheltered area and huddle in the car to wait for the strongest storm to pass.

When Xu Feng, who had been observing the wind, felt that the wind was slightly weaker, the five of them had been in the car for nearly a day. The wind direction had also changed from the southeast wind that was originally biased to the south to the southeast wind that was biased to the east.

At this time, the thickness of the snow in this area had reached more than five meters.

Xu Feng had seen snow before, but this kind of snow that almost covered two floors was the first time he had seen it!

"Will we walk next?"

When she climbed out of the off-road vehicle under the snow, Hanasaka Shoko's eyes were a little dazed.

The snow is too deep!

When it snowed, at the reminder of Masami Yamaguchi, the reincarnations did not stop the vehicles completely, but moved them against the wind from time to time.

This is mainly to prevent the car from being completely covered by snow.

However, even though they were so careful, they still couldn't avoid falling into a deep snow pit.

It was already very difficult to drive the car out of the snow several meters thick, not to mention that the blizzard had not stopped yet. Under the storm, the driveway they had dug with great effort would soon be buried again by the wind and snow.

So, this off-road vehicle is also useless!

It seemed that there was no other way to move forward except walking.

Newcomer Masami Yamaguchi took a look at the map and saw that the nearest human gathering area was more than 50 kilometers away from them.

She trembled all over. "Walking over fifty kilometers in this weather?"

will die!

The temperature was more than 50 degrees below zero, the wind was very strong, and the road was covered in snow that was very easy to sink into. You had to wear heavy snowshoes when walking. How could you walk more than 50 kilometers under such circumstances?
You're simply looking for death!
Xu Feng felt the whistling southeast wind, and suddenly a crazy idea popped up in his mind.

He chuckled. "Walking isn't very practical."

Yamaguchi Masami breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes, I think we should wait until the weather is clear before going out!"

"No, I mean walking is too slow!" Xu Feng returned to the car, opened his luggage, took out the tent and started thinking.

"What are you going to do?" Hanasaka Shoko seemed to guess what he was thinking.

"Normally, this level of wind is the biggest obstacle to traveling overland, but is there a way to turn it into an aid?"

During this storm, most modes of transportation were unusable, vehicles were easily stuck in the snow, and aircraft were unable to withstand the strong winds.

This is the difficulty faced by the reincarnators.

There seemed to be no choice but to walk.

Xu Feng said with a smile, "After being covered with snow and blown by strong winds, the road surface is now very smooth, almost like the sea. However, because the snow is too soft, ordinary vehicles can easily get stuck. So, can we create a sailboat that can sail on land? More accurately, a wind-powered sled!"

He sketched a diagram on his tablet. "Although the wind direction is unstable right now, the overall direction is the most suitable for us to use the wind force."

Putting aside various complex conditions, the most suitable wind for modern sailboats is not tailwind, but crosswind.

"Are you crazy?" Hanasaka Shoko looked at Xu Feng in shock. "The wind created by this super cyclone is not stable at all. If you try to control the sails in this kind of wind, aren't you afraid of being blown away into the wilderness where you have no idea where you are going?"

"We are just ordinary people! Without those magical bloodlines and powerful skills, we will really die if we do such crazy things!"

"Will we really die? The armor we are wearing can even block heavy machine gun bullets, and the space suit also has an excellent force-dissipating effect after simple inflation." Xu Feng is very confident in the equipment he is wearing.

The armor made of extraordinary cowhide and matched with the space suit is more powerful in dissipating force than the protective suit of the racing driver.

With this kind of protection, what is there to be afraid of?

He smiled and said, "Don't worry. Once the sail sled is built, I'll be in charge of the controls. You can build a snowboard and sit on it while I tow you forward. If anything goes wrong, you can simply cut the ropes."

Hearing that Xu Feng was ready to take on the most dangerous task, the others stopped talking.

After all, a windsurfing sled sounds incredibly unreliable, but in this weather, it's definitely faster than walking.

Moreover, no matter which direction the sled runs, there is always a certain possibility that it will encounter a human gathering place, which is better than them staying here and waiting to die.

So, others also began to help Xu Feng dismantle the car and prepare parts for making the wind sled.

In order to save time, several reincarnations dismantled the car violently and directly used explosives to blow it up.

The processing of raw materials is also very violent. For example, Hanasaka Shoko directly uses FN57 to drill holes and cut various boards.

Soon, a very simple-looking single-person sailboat was built by several people working together.

The main body of the sled is cut from the roof steel sheet.

This thing only has one mainsail, and for safety reasons and due to lack of materials, the sail is only more than two meters high.

There was no rudder, so the direction had to be controlled entirely by Xu Feng, who was lying sideways on the sled.

It was so crude that even Xu Feng, who made the suggestion, was not sure if it could move or whether it would fall apart in the wind.

But it was beyond everyone's expectations.

After Xu Feng raised the sail, this thing floated up in the howling wind!
It moves pretty fast!
If Xu Feng hadn't dragged a large pile of items behind this wind-powered sled, he suspected that the speed of this sled would have soared to a speed that he could not control!

After setting off, the five people took only more than an hour to reach Temple Street, more than 50 kilometers away.
