Chapter 117 All Terrain Vehicles

To Gou Yaoyang's surprise, the evacuation meeting did not go smoothly at the beginning.

Several people who were originally pulled into the group fell silent when they heard that the evacuation was on the agenda and even planned to leave the city immediately. These people are all residents of another community. Everyone wants to evacuate, but everyone thinks it won't be so soon.

People are lazy, especially when faced with something full of difficulties and unknown dangers.

There are many reasons for not wanting to evacuate immediately: there are too many things at home and they can't take them all away at once. The roads in the city are badly damaged and cars can't drive. How much can you carry with manpower alone?

There are airdrops in the city. If you really encounter an emergency, the rescue team will still come. Why do you have to leave in such a hurry?

The most important thing is, who can guarantee that the next place they go to will be better than the current S city? Animal and plant mutations are global disasters. They are afraid that after going through so much hardship to get to other places, the situation there will also get worse after a short time...

This group was first created by Xu Yan. After he invited a few people, those people invited others to join.

He did not convince the other party, but only confirmed with them one by one whether they did not want to evacuate immediately. After getting a positive answer,

he kicked these people out of the group one by one. Time was tight, he did not want to be a mediator, nor did he want these people who were already unstable to affect the emotions of others in the group.

He also knew that the situation in the city was still okay for the time being. Although there was a termite crisis in the building yesterday, the problem was solved quickly. Some people were lazy and didn't want to leave, which was understandable.

He just didn't want to waste time on unnecessary people.

In the end, there were only ten people left in this group. In Youxi Community: Youxi, Xu Yan, the Gou brothers, Chen Tong, Ma Tiantian, Xia Xuan. There were even fewer people in the other community: Lu Bin, Zheng Feng (Xiao Zheng), and Huang Jingji.

Of course, the evacuees also included the families of these people.

In order to avoid confusion in the WeChat meeting where everyone spoke one by one, Xu Yan held a video conference after confirming the time of the remaining people. After

this screening, those who stayed were all knowledgeable people, and a lot of effective content was obtained after one meeting.

The first thing is the evacuation destination.

In addition to the B&B in the suburbs of H City mentioned by Xu Yan, there are two other alternative locations that have been confirmed by phone.

One is a resort that Chen Tong and his wife have visited before, which is just in the suburbs of S City. The advantage is that it is close, about an hour and a half drive from S City - of course, this is based on the previous road conditions.

In addition, this resort covers a large area, there are many places to stay, the accommodation conditions are also very good, and because it is in the suburbs, there are many green plants and a good environment. I don’t know if it is because of this reason that the animals and plants did not occupy the resort buildings too much after the mutation.

The disadvantage is that the place is too big, and there are often mutated animals climbing over the fence of the resort nearby, which makes it unsafe. There are also no resources around. Finally, this resort still charges a fee for staying, and the fee is still very high. The main reason is that it is too close to S City and there is no shortage of refugees.

Another place is the place proposed by the agent surnamed Huang. This place is similar to the B&B that Xu Yanti mentioned. It is also privately operated by a friend of hers.

However, this B&B has its own greenhouse vegetable garden and small breeding room. It is more like a farmhouse. It is located on the outskirts of N City, which is a must-go place to H City.

The advantage is that the situation in N City and H City is still okay for the time being. Most people still stay in the city, and the farmhouse business is affected. In addition, the boss and agent Huang are friends, so the accommodation fee is very low.

The ecology there was originally good, and the surrounding environment did not change much after the animals and plants mutated. The vegetables grown and the chickens, ducks and fish raised have all mutated to varying degrees, but you can eat them with your eyes closed.

Although mutated animals occasionally run into the farmhouse, the villagers there already have experience in dealing with them, and some have begun to use traditional methods to set up various traps. Someone has caught a mutated big wild rabbit before, and someone was stubborn and secretly roasted and ate it, and nothing happened.

This shows that not all mutated animals are harmful, and not all exterminations will bring negative effects. There seems to be a balance baseline between humans and mutated animals and plants, and some people have gradually found the rules of this line.

The disadvantages are similar to those of a resort, with low security, few shops around, and difficulty in replenishing supplies. It is far from S City. It would take several hours to drive there in peacetime, and it is even harder to say now. Even if the route is planned in advance, it may be disrupted along the way.

In the end, everyone voted and chose a homestay with vegetable fields and breeding rooms among the three destinations.

Since everyone has decided to leave S City, it is impossible to just stay in the suburbs of S City. This homestay is in the suburbs of N City, not far from the homestay mentioned by Xu Yan. In case of a real situation, there is also a backup evacuation point.

Therefore, their next plan is to investigate the route out of the city and then get a car.

At present, most of the roads in the city have been destroyed by plants, but there is a type of car that can be driven no matter how difficult the terrain is.

**

Youxi gently used his Tang sword to push aside the grass in front of him, which was more than one person tall. He saw a spike-shaped plant hidden and mixed in the ordinary grass. This plant was temporarily named "spike grass". If a person or an animal accidentally approaches and pushes it, the spike-shaped hair on the top will quickly disperse and it will itch and sting the body.

This itching is difficult to resist even for mutated animals (including most insects), but if it is a human, wearing protective clothing and a mask can resist this spike grass.

Compared with the other two original routes that require detours, it is obviously better to go through here. First, because there is spike grass, there are fewer mutated animals nearby, and second, it is naturally because it is closer.

You Xi turned around and signaled, and Lu Bin walked over to lead the way with her, followed closely by You Feng and Fan Qi, followed by Xu Yan, Xiao Zhang, Xia Xuan and Agent Huang, and finally Xiao Zheng, Chen Tong and Gou Yaoyang.

Compared to the other families that only sent one person, it was quite surprising that all three members of You Xi's family went out.

But Youxi said that since they had decided to evacuate, they would have to leave the reinforced concrete building sooner or later, so it would be better to get out earlier to adapt. Moreover, her parents, provincial martial arts champions, were not powerless. Perhaps it was inherited from the family, and they were quite strong...

How could they not be strong? They took two [Anti-sugar Pills], and the most basic strength unit alone had reached 225, more than twice that of a normal person. In addition, she urged them to do various physical training every day. This time, after she came back from the acid rain world, she also began to teach them self-defense and fighting techniques.

It can be said that Youfeng and Fanqi can fight at least two people at present. What they lack is actual combat experience.

They came out this time to get an all-terrain vehicle, and Youxi brought them out together, purely as a drill.

But before leaving, she repeatedly reminded them that she had confirmed their right to use teleportation. Once it was a life-and-death situation, they should ignore everything and directly use the teleportation function to return to the Star House.

Even if other people would be shocked, study, or even publicize it, it didn't matter. They could hide in the Star House and disappear for a while, or directly use another new function unlocked after the second upgrade of the Star House: the one-click scene change function.

She had already asked the system, and this function costs 100 star coins to activate once, which is equivalent to the package version of the Star House's directional reset function.

When resetting the Star House by yourself, you can put the Star House in the location of your choice.

And this one-click scene change, as the name suggests, is that the Star House automatically changes its location randomly. After it is turned on, it will move directly with the house and the people, and appear in any place that meets the reset requirements. Each place will stay for a fixed month, and a total of three places will be randomly changed.

The random reset range is: the entire G Blue Star.

"So, this is a safe teleportation version of Up?" Youxi summarized to the system at that time.

[……]

Then, she felt a certain emotion of the system again. When it answered her question before, that almost mechanical indifference did not appear. It seemed... like the real system was back.

This subtle feeling is difficult to explain in words, but she can distinguish the extremely subtle differences in it.

Because there is a retreat to teleport back to the Star House, Youxi boldly brought her parents out.

Their destination is the car sales area under the viaduct. There are many car shops and 4S stores here. Among them is a very ordinary jeep dealership, which actually also does business in customized all-terrain vehicles.

This type of all-terrain vehicle is not a military off-road vehicle, but an all-terrain vehicle with only four wheels, a frame and a roof, referred to as: UTV.

This type of vehicle is used for outdoor adventures. There are several large parks in S City that have special venues for playing with this type of vehicle. You can climb over hills and slopes, cross puddles, enter the desert and snow, and in short, you can drive on any terrain.

Xu Yan was obviously prepared early on. It was not until he kicked those hesitant people out of the group that he brought up the issue of all-terrain vehicles and said that the owner of this car dealership was his friend. He himself had previously invested in an all-terrain vehicle recreation center project in a park in S City, so he knew this owner.

He knew that this type of vehicle could be found in the warehouse behind the car dealership, so he took this action.

The car sales area was not too far from their two communities, and it took about an hour and a half to walk there. Everyone put on a full set of protective clothing and brought all the weapons. They fought with mutant mosquitoes and earthworms along the way. They encountered mutant frogs and snakes that were originally fighting to the death. They ran wildly in front of the new situation that became the enemy. The most dangerous thing was that they accidentally disturbed a nest of wasps. In the end, they were able to escape after spraying all the insecticides...

Fortunately, there were mostly such insects in the city, so they adapted to it. The protective clothing could withstand the attacks of most insects, which was still very reliable.

After nearly two hours, they finally saw the viaduct entangled by vines in the tall dense forest.

There are no residential buildings around here, and there are few trees on both sides of the viaduct, mostly vines like this, which looks much emptier than other places.

They crossed the moss-covered road and finally arrived at their destination.

Another 20 minutes later, they finally found the car dealership Xu Yan mentioned among the trees.

They bypassed the front showroom, pushed aside the overgrown weeds along the way, and went directly to the warehouse in the back.

"Where is the owner of this car dealership?" someone asked.

"Dead." Xu Yan answered directly, "It died when the animals and plants mutated for the first time..."

"Then...should we just drive away? Or should we continue to transfer money by swiping our phones like we did last time when we went to the supermarket? I checked, this type of car is not cheaper than an ordinary car, it costs at least one hundred thousand to two hundred thousand."

The person who asked the question was Lu Bin. After all, he had just graduated, and his moral consciousness was stronger in some aspects.

"It doesn't have to be so expensive." Xu Yan replied from behind, "The wholesale price is 75,000 per car, just transfer the money to me." In the surprised eyes of the crowd, he continued, "This batch of cars was ordered by my amusement center. It's a project we just invested in. The cars haven't even entered the venue yet, and the end of the world has come..."

Everyone: ...

When the atmosphere was quiet, someone's cell phone rang. Xu Yan took it out and saw that it was a WeChat message showing that Youxi had transferred 200,000 yuan to him.

Xu Yan: ...

He calculated the price and responded: "You want to buy three!?"

"Two. This car only has two seats. Three people are too crowded. Plus, the value of ATVs has increased under the current circumstances. So I paid you two hundred thousand."

After hearing the conversation between the two, others realized that in the short time just now, Youxi had already legally bought two ATVs.

However, she had also directly swiped six digits when she went to the supermarket last time, so it seemed understandable that she continued to swipe six digits this time. She just felt that one should not judge a person by his appearance. In the current situation where he only spends money and does not earn money, he can still spend money like this. He is so young and yet he is quite good at making money...

"Aunt Fan, you are so lucky. Your daughter is so capable!"

Fan Qi instantly remembered the box full of diamonds, gold and jade that her daughter had shown her. She laughed dryly a few times: "The child lived by himself before, but after the earthquake, he sold his apartment and moved back home. At least he can hold on for a while."

Xu Yan put down his mobile phone, pried open the warehouse door, and then took out a stack of printed purchase contracts to show others, and once again stated that he was not lying and that he was indeed the one who bought these cars.

He did not force everyone to pay him. Originally, it would be useless for him to take these cars alone. If he had not been able to help this time, these cars would probably have been left in the warehouse forever.

However, except for Youxi, each household is limited to one car, after all, the number of cars is limited.

People who can live in these two communities have some money, and others also want to buy one, but after counting, there are only ten ATVs in total. Although Xu Yan and Xiao Zhang are counted as one household, they obviously plan to drive one each, so that there will be more space for luggage.

The remaining cars, except for the two bought by the You family, are just one car per household, and there are no more cars to buy if they want to pay for more.

At this point, it was good for a family to have a car. Although there were only two seats in the front, the rear frame of this car was large for luggage, and there was space for legs underneath, so it was not impossible to sit. No one would care about the load limit at this time.

In the end, everyone searched everywhere for gasoline barrels, maintenance tools, spare tires, and other things. After distributing the things they found according to the car, they all got on the ATV and set off happily back to the community.

**

In order to avoid more trouble, they spent several days packing their luggage before setting out to drive the ATV, mainly because they were afraid that the car would be noticed by more people. Before

going to the car dealership, they studied the route in advance, so they finally drove the ATV back before noon. They did not plan to stay and were ready to leave directly.

The ATV was driven directly into the underground garage. Half of the people went upstairs first. They unlocked the elevator and went directly upstairs to their homes to pick up the luggage and take their families. The other half stayed to guard the car.

All the actions and every detail had been discussed in advance, so everyone was in an orderly manner.

However, even so, other residents in the building still discovered that they had left.

Although the others did not want to leave and did not dare to leave, they panicked when they saw them leaving, especially the key figures: Youxi, Xu Yan, and the Gou brothers.

The panic in this situation was out of control, and the first words were moral kidnapping, especially for the family on the 13th floor who had just suffered a termite crisis.
