Chapter 94: Premonition of Extreme Heat
Jiang Xian was driving, and Gu Luan was sitting in the passenger seat with a mint candy in his mouth.
Jiang Xian tilted his head to look at her, and Gu Luan took out a mint and handed it to his mouth.
Jiang Xian opened his mouth and ate it. As soon as the mint candy entered his mouth, his brows furrowed tightly.
Seeing his expression, Gu Luan couldn't help laughing out loud.
Suddenly, a pile of ice and snow fell one meter ahead.
The area of ice and snow was quite large. It hit the ground and blocked the way of Gu Luan and Jiang Xian.
Jiang Xian quickly stepped on the brakes.
If they had been driving a little faster, the thick ice and snow would have hit their car.
There was no choice but for the two to get out of the car to check the situation.
Gu Luan and Jiang Xian stood in front of the snow pile, staring at the half-person-high snow in front of them, and looked up at the same time.
Above their heads were branches bent by ice and snow, and each branch was covered with thick ice and snow.
"careful."
Jiang Xian grabbed Gu Luan's hand, held her in his arms, and moved away from where he had just stood.
With a "crackling" sound, another piece of ice and snow fell from the branch.
Although these ice and snow cannot cause any harm, they reflect a situation.
"Do you feel that something is wrong?"
Gu Luan stepped out of Jiang Xian's arms and saw another piece of ice and snow falling to the ground.
"The temperature seems to be rising."
Jiang Xian felt it for a while before speaking.
"The temperature has risen?"
Gu Luan took out the thermometer to check.
After a while, she saw that the temperature stopped at minus sixty-eight degrees.
Compared with yesterday's temperature of minus 71 degrees, it's only a few degrees lower, but it's also a big problem.
Because since the extreme cold, the temperature has not dropped below 70 degrees.
"Did the extreme heat arrive early?"
Gu Luan frowned.
She remembered that the extreme cold lasted for half a year in her previous life, but now it has only been five months.
No, it cannot be judged from the experience of the previous life.
After all, this life has changed from the very beginning.
Gu Luan knocked his head, still used to thinking about problems based on his past life’s experience.
This bad habit must be corrected.
"Go up the mountain first and get the supplies first."
"Um."
The two men cleared the snow in front of them to make room for a car and left quickly.
Perhaps because of the rising temperature, a lot of ice and snow hanging on the tree trunks and branches along the way fell down in clumps.
While driving, Jiang Xian paid attention to the road conditions to avoid being hit by ice and snow.
Half an hour after entering Zhuangshan, Jiang Xian's car stopped at an abandoned factory.
The factory was very dilapidated, the walls around it had almost collapsed, and the gate was covered with rust.
More than half of the wall, which was originally more than two meters high, was buried under the ice.
Jiang Xian parked the car in a corner.
After getting off the car, Jiang Xian kicked the bricks on the wall.
The bricks that had long been rotten were easily kicked to the ground, making a bang.
"Let's go in."
Jiang Xian turned around and looked at Gu Luan and said softly.
Gu Luan looked around.
There are almost no people around, nothing but trees.
I don’t know who opened a factory here before?
Judging from how dilapidated it is, it must have been closed for many years.
Most of the first floor was covered with ice and snow. Jiang Xian took Gu Luan to a broken glass.
He used a piece of wood to smash all the glass and crawled in first.
"Give me your hand, I'll pull you in, be careful."
Jiang Xian stretched out his hand through the glass window, and Gu Luan raised his hand and placed it on his big hand.
There was no ice on the first floor, probably because it had never been flooded.
Gu Luan and Jiang Xian stood together, looking ahead.
The walls were in disrepair and there was a lot of garbage on the ground.
In the corner, there were some wooden benches with broken arms and legs piled up.
That's not the point.
The point is, there was a tanker truck parked in the lobby.
Yes, a tanker truck.
"You put it there?"
Gu Luan asked Jiang Xian in a muffled voice.
She was very curious, what was he thinking to stockpile a tanker truck?
"Um."
Jiang Xian did not deny it and asked Gu Luan to put it away quickly.
Gu Luan put the tanker truck into the space, unable to hide his curiosity, "Why did you just hoard a tanker truck?"
"If I say I met you by accident, would you believe me?"
Jiang Xian looked at Gu Luan with a smile.
The story of this tanker truck started on the night of the Aurora.
He didn't rest during the early stages of the rainstorm.
The tasks assigned by the higher-ups are all about transferring supplies.
On the tenth day of the heavy rain, he passed by a gas station not far from Zhuangshan.
An empty gas station with a full tanker truck parked inside.
With a sense of crisis, Jiang Xian drove the oil tanker that was about to be flooded up the mountain and hid it there.
In addition to the tanker truck, he also moved most of the things from the small supermarket over.
He thought that if everything was alright, he could return the things and it would be considered saving the people's supplies.
Later he went on a mission and was always busy, and only now did he have time to come here.
"How did you know this place?"
This factory is really remote. How did Jiang Xian know about this place?
"There were more than a dozen criminals hiding here before, and my teammates and I came here to arrest people."
Jiang Xian finished speaking in a low voice and led Gu Luan to the door of a room in the factory.
After opening the door, there were some wooden and iron materials inside, and a few rotten pockets on the ground.
Jiang Xian walked to the pocket, bent down and opened it.
The dust rose lightly, and Jiang Xian waved it away without changing his expression.
After throwing away the pocket, Jiang Xian clasped his right hand and actually lifted up a square iron plate, revealing a passage.
There is an underground passage in the factory?
"This underground passage was dug by those people. It's a bargain for me. Ah Luan, take out the flashlight."
Gu Luan took out two flashlights and handed one to Jiang Xian.
Jiang Xian took the flashlight and reminded Gu Luan to be careful not to trip.
Jiang Xian walked down first, looking back from time to time at Gu Luan who was following behind him.
"Don't worry about me, I'm not a child."
Although she scolded him with a smile, Gu Luan felt warm inside.
This is what it feels like to be cared about by someone.
Jiang Xian didn't say anything. He stopped and held Gu Luan's hand. "You are not a child. You are my girlfriend. Isn't it my duty to care about you?"
Gu Luan did not pull back her hand and followed Jiang Xian's footsteps.
The passage is not wide, just enough for two people.
This passage was dug by the group of people to escape, but they failed and were blocked here and captured by people they sent.
Jiang Xian knew that it would be chaotic outside and he had no suitable place to store supplies, so he thought of this place.
After running many times, I finally hid the things here one by one.
The underground passage was winding and twisting, and finally Jiang Xian brought Gu Luan to a dug-out room.
The house is very big and there is no door installed.
Standing outside, you can see what's going on inside at a glance.
The supplies prepared by Jiang Xian are all durable.
The rice and flour are all vacuum-packed, and even some cured chicken and meat are packed in vacuum bags.
A huge pile of supplies, it would cost several million no matter how you look at it.
Jiang Xian had only been in the army for a few years and was an orphan. Where did he get so much money to stock up?
