Chapter 4: Ch. : 4. Passing Sand Hurricane, Encounter with Cannibals, and Crash in the Dried River Valley
After being engulfed by a monstrous sandstorm, Furiosa continued to drive the truck at a constant speed of 150 KMH. She was indifferent to the fact that the Citadel's army would reach her quickly if she slowed down. Her faith in Manav and the truck had reached an unprecedented height. The dangerous and hilarious crashes with the buzzards' cars and the rock had only solidified her belief in Manav.
While she was navigating the truck through the sandstorm, evading tornadoes, a dramatic scene unfolded on the roof of the truck. One of the two war boys was sucked into a tornado, while the other clung desperately to an iron pole, his body suspended in midair. Furiosa, spotting him in the side-view mirror, steered the truck closer to the tornado. Despite the war boy's tenacity, the constant movement near and away from the tornado exhausted him. Seeing the truck approach the tornado filled him with despair.
Furiosa's seeming cruelty stemmed from her knowledge that all war boys were brainwashed to be Immorten's puppets. Even if spared, they would attempt to kill her covertly. She didn't want to take that risk. Eventually, the war boy's grip loosened, and he was sucked into the tornado. Furiosa sighed in relief, took a sip of water, and continued to drive the truck at a constant speed of 150 KMH.
She spent more than four hours driving through the sandstorm, occasionally having to dodge massive tornadoes. She was tired, but her determination to reach home kept her focused. As night fell, the storm obscured the stars and moon, plunging everything into darkness. Furiosa reduced the truck's speed to 100 KMH.
Suddenly, numerous small headlights, resembling those of bikes, illuminated the darkness. "Another trouble," Furiosa muttered in irritation. The leader of the bikers yelled, "Go, go, go, stop that truck, we are lucky today, to get this overweight truck." The bikers sped up, leaving the truck behind.
When Furiosa saw this, she cursed, quickly changed gears, and accelerated the truck to its maximum speed. The bikers who had laid the ambush quickly activated their trap. The truck's front tires passed over the trap before it could fully open, but the rear tires were caught. The trap, made of thorny iron, caused the truck's rear to jump into the air. Furiosa tried to control the truck, but it began to roll down a slope.
The truck rolled downhill at high speed, killing the bikers who had set the trap when it hit the iron wall. Furiosa held onto the handles in the truck and told the girls to hold onto something. The girls quickly reacted, holding onto the iron handle at the end of the bed while tightly holding the unconscious Manav.
After a few minutes of rolling, the truck finally reached the bottom of the slope. The entire truck was dented and scratched, looking as if it had been through a bomb party. Despite the damage, the truck was still drivable, but everyone inside was unconscious. Furiosa and the girls also lost consciousness when the truck hit the ground.
The truck was standing on its tires in a deep valley. At the edge of the slope, several bikes stopped, seeing that the truck was far from their reach. They couldn't go down the slope because if they did, they wouldn't be able to come back up. "Let's go, today's prey is not in our reach," the leader of the bikers said. Unexpectedly, this group of bikers were cannibals.
After three hours, the Citadel's group reached the slope with cars from the diesel city and bullet city. When Immorten saw the slope, he was furious. He ordered his group to go back. "Go back to Citadel, all of them are definitely dead after falling from here," Immorten yelled loudly, and turned his car back in the direction of the Citadel.
After the stormy night passed, the next morning, Lajawab's eyes fluttered open, and she tried to stand up, her body aching with pain. She saw that everyone was unconscious and tried to wake them up by spraying water on their faces. The other two girls woke up after being sprayed with cold water. They sat there, rubbing their bodies. Lajawab checked on Manav, and after finding that he was fine except for many bruises on his body, which they also had on their bodies, she asked Toast to check on Furiosa.
Toast opened the window between the driver's cabin and the tank room. "Furiosa, wake up," Toast yelled at Furiosa, while spraying water on her face. Furiosa woke up, checked the surrounding situation, and sighed in relief. Toast handed the leather pouch of water to Furiosa. "Thanks," Furiosa said to toast. "No need for thanks, without you and Manav, we would never have been able to escape," Toast shook her head and said.
Furiosa didn't say anything, and gulped down the water from the leather pouch. "What is the condition of Manav?" Furiosa asked after drinking the water. "He is still unconscious, no sign of when he will wake up," Toast answered. "Hmm," Furiosa hummed. "Tell everyone to stay in, I will check first where we are." After instructing, Furiosa opened the door of the cabin.
She got out of the truck and saw that they were in a straight hole, like a river once flowed here, but now it was dry. She checked the condition of the truck. Checking the whole truck took her half an hour. The results were that the truck, except for many dents and heavy scratches, was in a condition to drive. Furiosa opened the door of the tank room. "Come out, we will rest here for an hour," Furiosa said to the girls, and climbed on the roof of the truck.
Two guns installed on the roof of the tank were nowhere to be found. She took the binoculars and checked the situation from far away. She was just checking always through the binoculars to find a way up the dried valley, where a river once flowed.
Meanwhile, in an unknown place, Manav was floating, watching the scenes of different punk worlds. Suddenly, a goddess appeared in front of him. "Haha, you have gained success in escaping from Immorten, and passed my test, child," the Punk Goddess said. "So, that was a test, and I passed it so easily?" Manav asked. "Yes or No?" the Goddess didn't answer but said in a questioning tone.
"Okay, leave the talk for another time, listen carefully, child," the Goddess said in a serious tone. "I will teleport you to another continent, this dystopian continent is not suitable for you, and can't help you do missions given by me. I will give you your full ability called Mechanical Diesel eyes, as for its abilities you can explore yourself. And two of your most wanted wishes, you will gain them when you wake up on your way to another continent," the Goddess said in sometimes cheerful tone or serious tone.
Manav wanted to ask something but when he saw fingers he stopped. He knew that this goddess had taken a liking to the Thanos snap. Manav's body dispersed into torn papers and disappeared. Manav quickly opened his eyes and jumped up. He lost control and fell on the ground. But he didn't feel the sensation of pain, but a soft body under him. He opened his eyes and saw who was under him. He saw that Lajawab was looking at him with a painful expression on her red face.
Manav quickly stood up and helped Lajawab stand. "Sorry, Lajawab, I just panicked and jumped, sorry for falling on you, and hurting you," Manav said, quickly helping Lajawab brush away the sand on her. But the moment Manav's hand touched the body of Lajawab she quickly backed away and avoided Manav's hands. "Sorry, I did it in haste, I have no intention to touch your body," Manav apologized, and quickly turned to walk toward the driver's cabin.
"Well, this is not my intention," Lajawab tried to say something, but her voice was like a fly. Manav found that everyone was looking at him and Lajawab with different eyes. Suddenly, Toast laughed out loud. And everyone take the courses. Manav and Lajawab also laughed out loud. While all of them were laughing, Manav saw a countdown in his vision. Looming down the corner of his vision, Manav's facial expression changed. And he hopped in the cabin of the truck, trying to hide his sadness.
Manav didn't want to part with Lajawab and anyone. But he just couldn't do anything, things were not in his control. Manav sitting in the cabin thought that no one had noticed his expression. But Lajawab had noticed his facial expression changing the moment he saw the countdown. She was worried about Manav, but thought that she would talk to him later.
After all of them had lunch, they drove the truck toward the direction, which was said to be the direction of the sea. By Manav. Manav told all the girls that the green land he was talking about had reduced to barren land. Now there was nothing. But they could find a source of water on a hidden island near the continent they were in because he found the information about the island in those papers conserved by Immorten Joe. He didn't tell anyone about the island.
When the girls first heard that the green land they wanted to go to was reduced to barren land, they were very sad. But after hearing the information about the island, all of them were very happy. Because on the island they
