Chapter 111 Wei County

Around eight o'clock in the evening, Cheng Yu's voice was heard again on the intercom.

At that time, the two of them had just finished dinner, had lit the honeycomb coal stove, and were snuggling together on the sofa, watching a zombie movie under the same blanket.

When Cheng Yu's voice appeared, the two of them shook at the same time. Yao Ruoyun quickly clicked pause, and Shu Fu took the intercom from the coffee table.

"Have you packed your evacuation backpacks?"

What was supposed to come finally came. Shu Fu replied, "Okay."

"Well, put on all your equipment tonight and get some rest. Tomorrow morning, we will leave Wei County around seven o'clock. I will notify you again via the intercom."

"I see."

I don’t know what was wrong with her response. After a few moments of silence, Cheng Yu on the other end of the intercom spoke again: “Don’t be afraid, it’s okay.”

"Yeah." She always felt that he seemed to have sensed something, but she didn't know if he was too sensitive or she was thinking too much.

Shu Fu put down the walkie-talkie, turned around and found Yao Ruoyun looking at her.

"Senior, are we going to change places tonight?"

Shu Fu nodded: "Put on all the snow equipment first. Have you packed the backpack I mentioned before?" Even if they were not evacuating with Cheng Yu and the others, this backpack needed to be put out in the open.

"Yes, they are all organized in the backpack and can be taken out at any time."

"Okay, wait a little longer. Once midnight passes, we'll be ready to leave."

**

Yao Ruoyun didn't know what Shu Fu was waiting for, but she wasn't the type to bother with things. Since she trusted her and was determined to follow her, she wouldn't ask too many questions about the details. There would definitely be doubts, but she believed in Shu Fu and she must have her own reasons.

At ten o'clock in the evening, in the house on Drifting Island, Shu Fu, who had just finished taking a shower, closed the silent black notebook.

She remembered that the last time she was with Chen Fa and the others, they also planned to leave the next day. She thought she would not be able to leave Hexi Town. At about ten o'clock in the evening, a mission suddenly came.

But it was already past ten o'clock, and there were only nine hours left until the transfer after daybreak, and there was no movement from the bracelet.

She really didn't want to leave the team like this - especially after confirming that Liu Shuang and Han Lan were about to awaken, but she had no choice.

She went into the bathroom, washed her hands again, and applied cherry blossom-scented hand cream, then came to the living room, sat cross-legged in front of the coffee table, and began to draw three times in a row devoutly. The Chengyu team was going to move, and she also had to move to a new place, so she always felt that she had to take advantage of the opportunity now and draw the accumulated three prizes first to be safe.

First turn, green third prize: raft extended use card (24 hours)

An unremarkable award.

But it's okay, as it gives her 24 more days of full-day use of the raft.

Second turn, red third prize: vegetable and fruit seed gift pack (random) × 1.

I actually got a new type of supplies this time, vegetable and fruit seeds? Are they seeds that can be used to grow vegetables and fruits? What does random mean?

Shu Fu immediately received the prize, and a 1 meter × 1 meter flat cardboard box appeared in front of her. After opening it, the inside was divided into grids, and the grids were filled with wide-mouthed glass bottles. The grids were big and small, and so were the glass bottles, all of which changed according to the size of different seeds.

When each glass bottle is picked up, it is labeled with the name of each seed.

She counted them and found that there were ten grids vertically and ten grids horizontally, and there were a total of 100 kinds of seeds of various vegetables and fruits!

She felt like she had covered all the vegetables and fruits she knew about!

But as far as she knew, there were far more than 100 seeds of vegetables and fruits, so did the word "random" just now mean that 100 types were randomly selected from all types?

Glass bottles are sealed and dry, making them the best containers for storing seeds. Unfortunately, she is a clumsy person and doesn't know how to grow things, so these seeds can only be stored for the time being.

Two consecutive awards, both of which felt good, but did not have much impact on her.

In fact, Shu Fu herself didn't know what prize she wanted to win. The best would be the gold first prize and a raft towing position. After all, there were already three awakened companions.

But she knew that this was just three draws in a row, and it would be difficult to withdraw money.

She closed her eyes and pressed one last time.

The third turn, blue first prize: drift island house blueprint. (Classic S, ultra-vacation style luxury villa), (Note: must be used on a level 4 raft; this blueprint is special, after equipping, you can directly select the type of raft house to be placed in the "drifting bottle" icon.)

It’s actually an S-level blueprint!

Shu Fu didn't quite understand the second half of the note, so she decided to try it directly.

After she received the blue first prize card, she directly equipped the blueprint on the function screen behind the door, and a 3D image of a "super resort-style luxury villa" appeared on the screen.

Xiao is Shu Fu, who has memories of two worlds and is knowledgeable. At this moment, he was shocked by the new house type presented in this 3D picture.

No wonder this house type is rated as Collection S level, it really deserves the blue first prize. This house type has completely broken through the original size and layout of the small raft, and from the 3D picture at this moment, it can be found that all the furniture, appliances and home furnishings inside and outside this house type are already available and matched.

Unlike last time, when she looked at the 3D map of the triangular house, there was only a simple house type and fixed home decoration. After she was stopped from changing the house, she found that the furniture and furnishings inside were all her original ones.

This time, I really changed the house completely.

She lives alone in this house, so she will probably get lost at first...

Shu Fu thought about it and wanted to try to change the room type directly, but a prompt popped up on the screen: The space where the raft was located was small and the room type could not be changed.

really!

Even if the interior of the house is a compressed space, places such as terraces, balconies, and decks cannot be compressed. After all, it would be completely meaningless if they are too small.

Shu Fu thought about it and clicked the first "drift bottle" icon on the bracelet again.

She rarely uses this starting icon now, because she can directly long press the "raft" icon to place the raft.

She just wanted to see how to choose the type of raft house to place in this icon after equipping the blueprint.

She soon found out because two mini drifting bottles landed in her hand at the same time. They looked exactly the same, except for the rafts in the bottles. One of them was a raft with a flat-roofed cabin, and the other was a super miniature version of the 3D "super holiday-style luxury villa" she had just seen.

She thought that the raft could be opened by rotating the bottle cap, and then tried to twist the bottle on the villa raft.

Sure enough, the bottle cap failed to turn, and the same prompt appeared on the bottle body: the space where the raft was located was small and the room type could not be changed.

Shu Fu understood and put the bottle away again.

After three draws, the prizes were actually pretty good, but basically useless for her current situation, so she felt a sense of emptiness as if she had drawn nothing.

Shu Fu sighed and began to prepare for leaving after midnight.

**

At midnight, two fully armed figures walked out of the teahouse. One of them checked the corridor vigilantly with a flashlight, while the other opened his mobile phone, looked down at the downloaded electronic map, and then memorized the approximate location of the building in his mind.

Due to the limitation of the walkable ski trails, they bypassed the gymnasium and entered the main ski trail. Then they either went to the big hotel opposite or went directly back to the intersection of the street where the first clinic was located and found an empty house to hide in.

At the same time, when the other party called her on the intercom the next morning, she would use the satellite phone to reply to the other party, saying that she had left Wei County and was not going the same way as them, and then turn off the phone directly. This was to avoid the other party wasting time and doing useless work in order to find them.

The other party might guess the reason why they left the team, but at most they would only guess that she or Yao Ruoyun was a person with superpowers. Guessing was different from seeing with one's own eyes, so even if they met again in the future, there would still be room for maneuver.

The two men adjusted the flashlights in their hands to the dimmest setting and walked down the stairs carefully. After checking that there was nothing unusual in the corridor on the first floor, they walked down the steps.

However, as soon as I stepped on it, I touched the wet ground.

"Why is there water here?" Yao Ruoyun shone the flashlight down below in surprise.

Shu Fu, who was still on the steps, also lowered her head to look. There was indeed water, although not much. It was like the ground at the entrance of some buildings that was wetted by pedestrians walking in from outside after a rainy day. It was far from the point of accumulation of water.

But Shu Fu clearly remembered that the ground on the first floor had long been covered with a thick layer of ice because of the ice and snow piled up outside the corridor that had seeped in. What was happening now - the ice was melting?

"It is true today. It should be colder at night than in the afternoon. But when I just left the cabin, I felt as if it was warmer than in the afternoon. I thought it was because my gear was too thick." Yao Ruoyun reached out and held her hand. Together, they walked across the wet ground and headed towards the house on the first floor whose windows had been cleared of snow.

For Yao Ruoyun, the rising temperature is a good thing. After all, the raft can be used after the snow melts into water.

The two opened the window and looked out. The snow had stopped outside, and the night sky was overcast. The shadow of the moon could not be seen, but because there were tall walls of ice and snow all around, even in the middle of the night, the slightest light could reflect light.

It wasn't that dark outside, so they both turned off their flashlights and stuffed them into their backpacks, then pushed open the window and began to climb the windowsill.

Yao Ruoyun was taller after all, so she was the first to fall from the windowsill. She turned around and stretched out her hands to the person who was half stuck on the windowsill: "Senior sister, I'll carry you down."

Shu Fu: ...

Thanks, she's not actually that short.

Shu Fu held onto the window frame and was about to jump down, but she suddenly felt a vibration on her left wrist. The vibration made her hesitate and she was not sure whether to jump or not. Her body slipped forward. Fortunately, Yao Ruoyun was prepared with outstretched arms and caught her in a bear hug.

Shu Fu didn't care about anything else and immediately clicked the bracelet to take out the black notebook.

Sure enough, the new task finally appeared!

[Complete the check-in at the red stone road monument outside Wei County within four hours to get a 20% progress bar for level 5 of the raft. (Current progress of level 5 of the raft: 60%)

Note: Failure to complete this task will deduct 40% of the progress bar. 】

Shu Fu: ...

Haha, she knew it.

This stealth mission is finally here.

She had seen the red stone road monument at the entrance of Wei County when she took a military truck into the county last time.

The road into the county is a three-way intersection. In addition to the winding mountain road at Junka, the other road is a wider bridge road. The bridge does not cross the river, but the valley. It is like a bridge road connecting the canyon where Wei County is located with another mountain.

After crossing this bridge, you will be on another provincial road connecting to the national highway of Xizhou Province.

All vehicles transferred from Wei County to Xizhou Province start from this road. After getting on the provincial road, they can choose to go west, north or south. The provincial road is connected to many roads. It is precisely because of the many convenient road options here that it has become a resettlement county for the rescue station.

The car that went to Gongmang County before went in this direction, and Cheng Yu and his friends also took this road to send people off.

When Shu Fu was driving slowly through this three-way intersection in the military card, he lifted the rain curtain and looked outside. He had a deep memory of the red road sign. It stood on the opposite side of the bridge road, very tall, not like it was artificially built, but more like a natural boulder mined.

It is not quite accurate to call it red. It is more like a reddish vermilion. The color might be brighter when it was just mined, but after years of wind and sun, the brightness faded and it became what she saw.

But anyway, the location of this road monument is in another direction outside of Wei County. If the mission is to get there, does it mean that she can leave Wei County now?

Shu Fu soon realized that this mission was actually the same as Cheng Yu's team's evacuation from Wei County. No! Not only was it the same, it was also ahead of schedule!

Because the time limit is four hours!

Shu Fu glanced at the phone on her phone. It was currently 0:08.

Four hours, that is to say, before four in the morning, she has to take everyone away from Wei County?

She didn't do many missions with a time limit of one hour, but most of them were because of emergencies. So now she not only had to meet up with Cheng Yu in advance, but also had to find out why their team had to leave Wei County at this time.

Shu Fu's brain started working rapidly after seeing the task, and he figured out the next move in just a few seconds.

At this time, Yao Ruoyun had just put her down on the ground: "Where are you going?"

Shu Fu was a little bald, and said with gritted teeth: "Well, let's go to the gym next door to find Cheng Yu's team and leave Wei County together."

Yao Ruoyun: ...Huh?

**

A few minutes later, Shu Fu used the intercom to "knock open" the rolling door on the south side of the basketball court.

Cheng Yu and Liu Shuang were standing inside the door. Han Lan was standing in the corner, helping the short team member Gao Shan to dismantle a mechanism. He felt Shu Fu's gaze, raised his eyes and smiled at her: "If you hadn't notified us just now and had just barged in, it would have been - bang!" He made an onomatopeia.

"Shh." Liu Shuang turned around and motioned him to be quiet. Shu Fu and the others came to find them at this time, so something must have gone wrong.

Cheng Yu naturally understood this: "What happened?"

Shu Fu asked simply and clearly: "What is the reason for you to evacuate Wei County early tomorrow morning?"

"Huh, you didn't tell her before?" Han Lan spoke again.

Shu Fu just looked at Cheng Yu. After exchanging a glance with her, Cheng Yu also gave a simple and clear answer: "The temperature is rising too quickly, and coupled with the terrain problem of Wei County, Qi Kai used a computer to simulate the disaster and predicted that there is about four to fourteen days before an avalanche may occur in Wei County."

avalanche!

Shu Fu turned around in surprise and looked across the square. In the distance behind the hotel, the hillside surrounding the county town was vaguely visible in the night.

Yes, Wei County is surrounded by mountains and is located in a canyon. The ice and snow on the flat ground are five or six meters deep, and the snow on the hillside is not less. There is basically no vegetation on the hillside here, and the soil is loose. Mudslides frequently occurred when it rained before. The temperature has risen too quickly in the past two days. Once the ice and snow melt and loosen, it is very likely to form a large avalanche!

Considering the current amount of snow on the hillside and the area of ​​Wei County, once an avalanche occurs, the entire Wei County will be buried!

Shu Fu's face turned ugly in an instant. She glanced around and saw that the short team member Gao Shan had already entered the venue with his things. Only Cheng Yu, Liu Shuang and Han Lan were standing in front of her.

She looked at Cheng Yu again and lowered her voice: "Don't wait until tomorrow morning, leave now, and evacuate Wei County before 3:45 in the morning!"

"What's wrong?" Han Lan had been helping Gao Shan get things and was the farthest away. When he came back, he only heard the last half of the sentence "...withdraw from Wei County."

Liu Shuang heard it, and she looked at her with a worried expression: "Xiao Fu, what's wrong with you? Did you hear any news?"

The two of them were very surprised. Even Yao Ruoyun, who was beside her, took a step closer to her and quietly held her hand: "Senior sister..."

Cheng Yu looked down at her, and she looked him straight in the eye. She couldn't tell him about the mission, nor could she say that an avalanche might happen in Wei County at 4 a.m.

She could only tell him what to do.

If he didn't believe it or wanted to ask why, she couldn't say more.

Although according to past experience, she could complete the mission by simply taking Yao Ruoyun away, but the other party was not a stranger after all. Even if they were not "unawakened companions", they were still her friends!

No one could ignore the safety of their friends and walk away knowing that something bad was going to happen. At least, she couldn't do that now.

After a moment, Cheng Yu nodded at her: "I understand, let's go now."

For many things, she never asked him why, so he would never ask her why.

Since you choose to believe, then believe to the end.

Cheng Yu turned around and spoke again in the captain's tone: "Liu Shuang, contact Awen, Wenrou, and Qi Kai, and ask them to drive to the snow track in the center of the square and meet us within 30 minutes! Han Lan, contact the rescue station and tell them that the plan is advanced and everyone must evacuate Wei County before three o'clock! Gao Shan - wake up the others, take your belongings and drive to the snow track in the center of the square in armored vehicles within 30 minutes! Remember, tell everyone that it was me who decided to evacuate early, that's it."

"yes!"

"clear!"

Gao Shan heard Cheng Yu calling him, and hurriedly ran out of the stadium to show his face: "Yes, Captain!"

The three men responded to the order, and the surprise and confusion they had just felt disappeared at that moment. For soldiers, obeying orders is their duty, and it is something that is engraved in their blood and bones.

They had originally planned to set off early tomorrow morning, and everyone was fully equipped and slept in their clothes. The temperature had risen in the past two days, and it was not cold indoors. They did not sleep in the basement, but instead made a simple bed on the ground next to the armored vehicle. Now they only needed to pack their things into the vehicle and they could set off immediately.

The team members were faster than Shu Fu had expected. In just ten minutes, everyone was ready to go. The armored vehicle equipped with a huge snow shovel was turned around and driven outside the venue.

Several team members got off the car and were busy installing the pipes of the snow throwers on the snow shovels so that they could use them when leaving Wei County.

The snow path they had dug before only reached the county entrance. Now the snow on the mountain road outside has not melted yet, so they have to rely on the armored vehicle's snow shovel to clear the way before they can leave Wei County.

Shu Fu and Yao Ruoyun were standing outside the stadium. Shu Fu used a satellite phone to send a message to Chen Fa and the others, reminding them to pay attention to the avalanche disaster that would follow the snowstorm. Perhaps because it was the middle of the night, there was no reply yet.

Afterwards, Yao Ruoyun also called her parents. They answered the phone with panicked tones, thinking that something had happened to Yao Ruoyun. After hearing her reminding them to pay attention to the associated disasters, they immediately said that they lived in the city, and Zhicheng was now an important city in Xizhou Province. The rescue operations were very fast, and there were no other problems except for the crowded living caused by too many people, so she could rest assured.

Han Lan quickly contacted the people at the rescue station, and they responded so quickly that it seemed as if they hadn't slept at all.

"Evacuate before three o'clock?" The man exclaimed in surprise, "What happened? Why did you suddenly evacuate before three o'clock?"

"The situation has changed. This is an order from our superiors. Our team will evacuate Wei County within an hour. All survivors must evacuate before three o'clock."

"But that's impossible. The car isn't finished yet!"

On the other side, Liu Shuang also contacted Wenrou.

The three of them went there in the afternoon, firstly to throw the two half-dead guys tied up in the venue over to the rescue team to deal with them.

Another reason was that the snow path on that small street was finally dug through manually. Wenrou and the other two went over to check the situation, explained the evacuation plan in person, and gave the other party some fuel with antifreeze.

However, the situation on Wenrou's side was similar to the response Han Lan received.

"Sister Shuang, Awen hasn't rested since we arrived... You don't know, two of their team members were seriously injured and have been in the clinic. They almost exhausted all their resources to save their lives. Forget about the other cars, but the ambulance must be repaired, otherwise the two people will not be able to be transferred!... Sister Shuang, please talk to the captain, they are really miserable, we want to help them..."

Liu Shuang turned around and looked at Cheng Yu. He also heard the response on the intercom.

Cheng Yu pulled up his sleeves a little and looked down at his waterproof electronic watch, which showed the time was 00:25.

He turned his head to look at Shu Fu, and took the intercom directly from Liu Shuang: "The situation has changed. This order is a matter of life and death. Do you understand?"

"Understood, Captain!"

"How much more time will it take you there?"

A moment later, Wenrou, who had asked Awen, came back with the news: "It will take about three hours!" The main reason was that they were not professionally qualified in car repair, and only Awen could advance the progress, while others could only pass a wrench by the side.

"It's been too long. Your request conflicts with my order. I need you to understand that what you are applying for now is your own personal private action!"

"Yes! Captain! This is a private operation requested by the three of us! We will be fully responsible for the results of this operation!"

Cheng Yu closed his eyes and said, "We will wait for you at the central square. I can only give you two hours, until 2:30. If it is not over yet, I don't care what method you use, you must get Awen and Qi in the car and leave."

What this means is that if they haven't shown up by the agreed time, they will leave and won't keep waiting.

Wenrou obviously heard the solemnity in Cheng Yu's words and responded, "Order received! Captain!"

Cheng Yu handed the intercom back to Liu Shuang and ordered everyone to get in the car: "Let's go to the central square and wait for them!"

The author has something to say:

Shu Fu [serious]: It’s time to go our separate ways.

Yao Ruoyun: I understand!

Shu Fu [scratching his head]: Well~ we have to go back again~

Yao Ruoyun: ???
