Chapter 383

"How far are we from the next gas station?" Fujin sat in the driver's seat, looking helplessly at the long yellow sand outside.

"Uh...I think it should be about a mile." Hugo said uncertainly, looking at the map spread out in his hands.

Fujin heard Hugo's voice, and when he looked back, he saw a blank face of Hugo, almost not choked by his saliva, "Neil, I said not to give the map to Hugo, have you forgotten it? "Pedro and Alfonso, who were standing outside the car, both turned their heads and looked over, and they saw Hugo sitting in the passenger seat. The whole person was buried in the map, and then they all looked at the accusation. To Neil.

The innocent Neil raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, "I just put the map in the passenger seat and can't blame me."

"Hey! You guys!" Hugo looked up dissatisfied, "I'm just looking at the map, and I'm not trying to destroy it."

"The question is, do you understand?" Fujin's words immediately made Hugo infinitely small.

Hugo looked at the map in his hand at a loss. He couldn't tell where was where. The various colors and colors on this map were dazzling and chaotic. There were countless place names in the branch. The uniform'color' blocks are scattered and divided, which is really a headache. Fokkin's voice then came over, "You are looking at the Arkaennessee state (arkaennessee)."

Hugo suddenly looked embarrassed. They should still be near Nevada. Obviously, Arkansas and Tennessee are not next to Nevada. This shows that the map he just looked at is completely wrong. . After Fujin's reminder, Hugo quickly saw the Atlantic Ocean on the right hand side, so Hugo calmly cleaned up the map.

Fujin was not surprised. When they set off from San Francisco, they asked Hugo to take a map to show the way. As a result, Hugo directly guided them to the north. Their goal was obviously Las Vegas in the south. , In the end, I went to Oregon () to make a half-circle, and then returned to Nevada. I was delayed for most of the day on the road.

Later, when they were approaching Las Vegas, Hugo pointed the wrong way and made them take the wrong road fork. They arrived at Henderson by mistake. From then on, the band members knew that Hugo was comparable. With an idiot sense of direction, the map is no longer under Hugo's management.

Hugo dejectedly put the map in the storage cabinet in front of the passenger seat. He tried very hard to identify the direction and learn the map. As a result, he was hit by this group of people again and again, which was really disappointing.

Hugo looked around, and the endless desert spread endlessly in his sight. The sky was slanted with the sun that hadn't just risen for a long time, and the dusty cacti in the sand were almost invisible. The original green'color' is now, and only dark gray'color' stones are scattered all over the sandy soil. At the end of the line of sight, there is a dark brown'color' and the blue'color' that settles down from the horizon. The'mingling' blended together, making it difficult to distinguish the boundary between the ground and the sky, but in a trance that it was the end of the earth.

The interstate highway in front of you stretches all the way into the distance, and the gradually rising arc seems to be'crossing' with the sky. When you reach the end of the highway, you can touch'touch' the gray'cloudy' sky. I looked back and forth, and the whole road was empty and empty. Even the lizards that came out for a walk could not see a single lizard. Apart from the wind and sand, the whole world was still windy and the sky was full of yellow colors. Makes people dizzy for a while.

The band left Las Vegas early in the morning when the sky was bright, and originally wanted to drive away from the desert area to Salt Lake City (salt.lake.) before the sun was fully up. , This journey is not so difficult. But who knows, the car broke down halfway, Alfonso knew how to fix it, but there were not enough tools, which made the band trapped in the desert.

At this moment, if a car is passing by, and it is stopped to borrow some tools, then there is no problem, but after waiting for nearly half an hour, there are no people. So just now Fujin wondered if he could walk to the gas station on foot, borrow some tools, and then come back to repair the car. However, Hugo's "one mile" answer was obviously unreliable, and Fujin took the map out of the storage cabinet again and read it by himself.

Hugo thought for a while, pushed the door of the car and walked out of the car, holding the mobile phone to try to find a signal. If the signal can be searched, he can call the information desk and ask for the number of the Las Vegas garage. Number to see if there is a garage willing to provide out-of-office services. However, in the desert wilderness, it is really not easy to find the signal.

Hugo looked at the brick in his hand and couldn't help sighing. Even in the 21st century, in such a wild place, the cell phone signal would not be so good, let alone now. Hugo fiddled with the phone, looking at the signal with only one frame above, and walking forward, but the signal remained unchanged, which was really frustrating.

Suddenly, the bricks in Hugo's hand began to scream, which made Hugo suddenly'exposed' a look of surprise. If he can answer the phone, does it mean that he can make calls? Hugo is very busy He picked up the phone, "Hello? Hello! Hello..." Hugo's voice continued to whirl in the desert, but he couldn't get the response from the other party, which made Hugo's newly-increased confidence suddenly fall into It's really disappointing when it's at the bottom of the valley.

"Hugo? Hugo..." Just when Hugo was about to hang up the phone, the intermittent voice on the phone was mixed with a lot of noise, and Hugo immediately moved the phone to his ear again, "Yes, yes. , I am! Who is there?"

After Hugo finished speaking, there was another silence. There was a crackling noise in the receiver, which made Hugo wonder if the phone was burned out, but then his voice became clear instantly, "Hugo, this is Charlize. , Where are you? Why is the sound so messy?"

The surprise on Hugo's face bloomed instantly. This time he heard very clearly. Hugo looked around and stood motionless. He wondered if it was because this place had the best signal, "I In the desert, what do you think."

Surprisingly, Charlize also heard clearly this time, and her voice soon came back, "Why did you leave so early today? I thought you were still in the casino."

"Stop talking about it, you help me look up the phone number of the Vegas garage, our car is broken." Hugo said quickly, this is their best hope at the moment.

"I'm at home, and I don't have Vegas's yellow pages at home, remember?" Charlize said helplessly, "Besides, are you sure you want me to hang up?" If the phone hangs up, can you call in again? I'm not sure.

Hugo was speechless for a while, which was really frustrating. Sure enough, the backwardness of communication equipment in the early 1990s was too troublesome. His current phone cannot send text messages, and there is no way to send Charlize to send text messages after checking out. So The situation is really tangled. Charlize asked, "Where are you now? There should be cars passing by."

Hugo just wanted to move a step and vent his frustration, only to realize that he had only moved a step and his voice became blurred again. He could only withdraw his steps obediently, and stood in place dumbly, "This is us. Now there is only hope." Now that the sun has completely risen, there should indeed be a car passing by. Hugo looked at the road that looked to the end, but never saw any shadows, "It's just that the neighborhood is too...desolate, I wonder if it's deep in the desert."

"If you lead the way..." Charlize said with a smile, immediately leaving Hugo speechless.

Hugo stood there, looking at the endless yellow sand in front of him, "But the scenery here is really amazing. Do you know? I'm standing on the road now, looking forward, it's a whole piece of land. The sand, I can't see the edge at all, as if I can't find the end when I ran forward for a day and night. At the farthest point of sight, I can see two large mounds, but I guess I went to look closer. It's just a small hill. The entire sky is covered by yellow sand with a layer of tulle, and even the sun looks orange."

Charlize was originally standing in the lobby calling, but listening to Hugo's depiction, she couldn't help but walked to the window of the house, looking at the busy scene downstairs and the sun just rising from the sky, imagining the sight in front of her. The endless scene of yellow sand, exclamation bursts in my mind involuntarily.

"There is also a large piece of sand behind me, and there is no difference at all. I would like to see some lizards or rattlesnakes, but there is nothing. Even the cactus seems to be buried in the sand. It's really impressive. Disappointment." Hugo's words made Charlize chuckled, "But you still have to admit, this is really spectacular, you stand here, and it feels like an ant~www.mtlnovel.com~ Everything around has been infinitely magnified, and there is no limit to it. This is nature, which makes people look so small."

Charlize couldn't help raising his head, looking at the clear sky of Los Angeles, imagining the sky covered with a layer of yellow sand, and murmured involuntarily, "If I stand by your side now, it will be fine. "

Hugo heard Charlize's words and chuckled lightly, "You can come now, it's still too late." This made Charlize laugh out loud. Now Charlize is still training in acting in Los Angeles, she naturally There is no way to embark on a journey like Hugo.

"I'm standing on Highway 15. The whole highway is like a staff in Moses' hand. It splits the entire desert in half, clearly separating the two worlds, as if walking along the highway all the way to the south. Arrived in heaven." Hugo looked back at the infinite stretch of road under his feet, his gaze stayed on the sky at the end of the road, constantly marveling.

"It should be going north, Hugo." Charlize said suddenly, very horrifying, and Hugo was immediately depressed. Charlize knew that Hugo and the others were heading to Salt Lake City, so in terms of direction, it should be all the way north. As if feeling Hugo's depression on the other end of the phone, Charlize couldn't help but 'show' a sly smile, "You don't have to seduce me all the time. I won't be on the journey with you."
