"How far is we from the next gas station?" Fu Jin sat in the driver's seat and looked helplessly at the long yellow sand outside.

"Uh... I think it should be about a mile." Hugo said uncertainly as he looked at the map spread out in his hand.

When Fujin heard Hugo's voice, he turned around and saw Hugo with a confused look on his face. He was almost choking by his saliva. "Neil, I said don't give Hugo the map, have you forgotten?" Pedro and Alfonso, who were standing outside the car, turned around and looked over. He immediately saw Hugo sitting in the passenger seat, buried in the map, and then looked at Neil with accusation.

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

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

"The question is, do you understand?" Fu Jin's words immediately made Hugo infinitely smaller.

Hugo looked at the map in his hand and was confused. He couldn't tell where it was. The various colors on the map were dazzling. Countless place names were scattered on the uneven color blocks, which was really a headache. Fujin's voice then came, "You are looking at Arkansas and Tennessee."

Hugo immediately looked embarrassed. They should still be near Nevada. Obviously, Arkansas and Tennessee are not next to Nevada, which means that the map he just looked at was completely wrong. After Fujin's reminder, Hugo soon saw the Atlantic Ocean on his right hand, so Hugo hurriedly packed up the map.

Fujin was not surprised. When they set out from San Francisco, they asked Hugo to take the map to guide the way. As a result, Hugo directly guided them to the north. Their target was clearly Las Vegas to the south, but they went to Oregon for half a circle before returning to Nevada, and they delayed most of the day on the road.

When they were about to arrive in Las Vegas, Hugo pointed out the wrong way and asked them to get off the wrong road fork, and arrived in Henderson incorrectly. Since then, the band members have known Hugo's sense of direction that is comparable to idiots, and the map has no longer fallen into Hugo's management.

Hugo depressedly placed the map in the storage cabinet in front of the passenger seat. He tried hard to identify the direction and learn the map, but he was hit by this group of people again and again, which was really disappointing.

Hugo looked around and saw the endless desert spread endlessly in his sight. The sun that had just risen was hanging obliquely in the sky. The gray cactus in the sand and dust could hardly see the original green. Only dark gray stones were seen dotted with the sand. A dark brown at the end of his sight blended with the settled blue in the horizon, making people unable to distinguish the boundary between the ground and the sky. They just felt that it was the end of the earth.

The Interstate 15 in front of me extended all the way to the distance, and the gradually rising arc seemed to intersect with the sky. When you reach the end of the road, you can touch the gray sky. After looking back and forth, you will see the entire road empty and uninhabited. Even the lizards are not only wind and sand, but also wind and sand. The yellow color in the sky makes people dizzy.

The band left Las Vegas when it was dawn in the morning. They originally wanted to drive out of the desert area before the sun rose completely to salt.lake.city. This journey was not that difficult. But who knew that the car broke down halfway, and Alfonso knew how to repair it, but there were not enough tools, which made the band trapped in the desert.

If a car passes by and stops you to borrow some tools, there will be no problem, but after waiting for nearly half an hour, there is no figure at all. So Fujin just now wondered if he could walk to the gas station, borrow some tools, and then come back to repair the car. However, the "one mile" answer given by Hugo was obviously unreliable, so Fujin took out the map from the storage cabinet again and flipped through it himself.

Hugo thought for a while, pushed the car door and walked out of the car, holding his cell phone to try to find a signal. If he could find the signal, he could call the consultation desk to ask the phone number of the Las Vegas car repair shop to see if any car repair shop is willing to provide outing services. However, in the desert wilderness, it is indeed not easy to find the signal.

Hugo looked at the bricks in his hand and couldn't help but sigh. Even in the 21st century, the mobile phone signal would not be very good in such a wilderness, let alone now. Hugo fiddled with his mobile phone, looking at the signal with only one square above, walking forward, but the signal never changed at all, which was really frustrating.

Suddenly, the bricks in Hugo's hand began to whistle, which made Hugo suddenly show a look of surprise. If he could answer the call, would it mean that he could make a call? Hugo quickly answered the phone, "Hello? Hello! Hello..." Hugo's voice kept circling in the desert, but he could not get the other party's response, which made Hugo's newly-enhanced confidence fall into the bottom again, which was really disappointing.

"Hugo? Yu...guo..." Just as Hugo was about to hang up the phone, a lot of noises mixed with the phone came out, and Hugo immediately put the phone closer to his ear, "Yes, yes, I'm here! Who is there?"

After Hugo finished speaking, there was another silence. A crackling sound came from the receiver, making Hugo wonder if the phone was burned out, but then the sound became clear in an instant, "Hugo, I am Charlize, where are you? Why is the sound so messy?"

The surprise on Hugo's face suddenly burst out. This time he heard it very clearly. Hugo looked around and stood still. He guessed whether it was because of the best signal in this place, "I'm in the desert, what do you think."

Surprisingly, Charlize heard it very clearly this time, and her voice came back quickly, "Why did you set off so early today? I thought you were still in the casino."

"Stop talking about this. Please check the phone number of the Vegas car repair shop. Our car is broken." Hugo said quickly. This is their greatest hope at the moment.

"I'm at home and there are no yellow pages in Vegas at home, remember?" Charlize said helplessly, "Besides, are you sure you want me to hang up the phone?" If the phone hangs up, it's impossible to say whether you can call in again.

Hugo was speechless, which really made him frustrated. Sure enough, the backwardness of communication equipment in the early 1990s was too troublesome. His current mobile phone could not send text messages, and there was no way for Charlize to go out and check it before sending text messages to inform him, so the situation was really tangled. Charlize asked, "Where are you now? There should be a car passing by."

Hugo was about to move a little and vent his frustration, but he found that he had just moved one step and his voice became blurred again. He could only take back his steps and stood there stupidly, "This is our only hope now." Now the sun has completely risen, and it is indeed a car that should have passed by. Hugo looked at the road that looked to the end, but never saw any shadows. "But it is too... desolate nearby. I doubt if I have walked into the depths of the desert."

"If you were the one who led the way..." Charlize said with a smile, and immediately left Hugo speechless.

Hugo stood in place, looking at the boundless yellow sand in front of him, "But the scenery here is really amazing. Do you know? I am standing on the road now and looking forward, there is a whole piece of sand, and there is no edge at all, as if I can't find the end when I run forward for a day and a night. At the farthest point of view, you can see two large mounds of soil, but I guess I will go closer and look at it, it should be a small hill. The whole sky is covered with yellow sand, and even the sun looks orange."

Charlize was originally standing in the hall and making a phone call, but listening to Hugo's description, she couldn't help but walk to the window of her home, looking at the busy scene downstairs and the sun just rising in the sky, imagining the endless yellow sand scene in front of her, and her awe-inspiring sound of exclamation burst into her mind.

"There is also a large piece of sand behind me, and I can't see any difference at all. I want to see some animals like lizards or rattlesnakes, but there is nothing. Even the cactus seems to be buried in the sand. It's really disappointing." Hugo's words made Charlize laugh, "But you still have to admit that this is really spectacular. When you stand here, you feel like an ant. Everything around you is infinitely magnified and you can't go any further. This is nature, which makes people look so small."

Charlize couldn't help but look up at the clear sky in Los Angeles, imagining the sky covered with yellow sand, and involuntarily murmured, "If I were standing by your side now, that would be great."

When Hugo heard Charlize's words, he chuckled, "You can come here now, it's still time." This made Charlize laugh out loud. Now Charlize is still in Los Angeles for acting training, so naturally she can't embark on a journey like Hugo.

"I stood on Highway 15. The whole road was like a staff in Moses's hand, splitting the entire desert in half, clearly distinguishing the two worlds, as if you could reach heaven by walking south along the highway." Hugo looked back at the infinitely extended road under his feet, his eyes stayed in the sky at the end of the road, and kept marveling.
