I Open Treasure Chests in the Apocalypse

When Earth becomes a battlefield and killing becomes the norm, everyone eagerly awaits their desired items from treasure chests dropped by monsters. But he, having opened so many treasure chests, h...

Chapter 41 Tractor Driver

After leaving the bathroom, their relationship took another step forward.

Ahem, of course it wasn't as evil as you think! The two of them were just... having a pure exchange about their revolutionary friendship.

"Wouldn't it be bad to take the main road?" Jiang Yuan was frightened by Ning Yanlan's suggestion because there were too many monsters on the roadside. If they were surrounded by monsters, they would be doomed. It would be more peaceful for the two of them to die on the spot, so as not to make the scene too bloody.

Ning Yanlan's eyes lit up when she looked across the river, and she said, "How about we take a tractor? I've learned how to steal cars!"

Following Ning Yanlan's gaze, he saw a diesel-powered wheeled tractor parked in the opposite field. It was probably used by Xujia Village to haul crops, but he hesitated when he saw the tractor's appearance.

"Can this even be driven? What if a monster intercepts it on the way?!" Jiang Yuan was genuinely scared. Although it wasn't one of those hand-cranked tractors, it still wouldn't go very fast.

"Are you worried about driving too slowly?" Ning Yanlan asked.

"Not only is it slow, but the noise will probably attract a bunch of monsters!" Jiang Yuan pointed out the shortcomings, as he couldn't risk his life at this critical moment.

“I’ve calculated it. We’re currently on the sixth day of the apocalypse. The strongest monsters won’t exceed the fifth rank, and there won’t be any powerful holy beings in this remote place! As long as we weld the doors shut, we can definitely travel these miles with the tractor’s horsepower!” Ning Yanlan analyzed in a very professional manner.

"Right!"

After saying that, Ning Yanlan asked Jiang Yuan for his opinion. Before Jiang Yuan could object, she added, "There are only three or four miles left now. As long as there are a lot of monsters, I will use Fireball and Gale Cannon to blast a path through them!"

Jiang Yuan could already picture it in his mind, especially the expression of someone welding the car door shut so no one could get out.

"Why don't we give it a try!" Ning Yanlan was increasingly convinced that her idea was feasible.

"Are you sure?" Jiang Yuan asked weakly.

"Agreed! Let's go find the materials, reinforce the cab inside and out, and strengthen the vehicle body as well. Then we can finish these few kilometers in one go!" Ning Yanlan nudged Jiang Yuan, "You're the man, you handle the heavy lifting, I'll take charge of directing!"

"It's me again!!" Jiang Yuan was speechless. He pleaded, "How about we just follow the ridges along the paddy field? If any monsters come, we can hide!"

"Touch your head, my foot! If we get caught, we won't even have anywhere to hide!" Ning Yanlan said coquettishly.

Jiang Yuan thought about it and realized that he was the only one who had learned the Wolf Step and had a brief acceleration, while Ning Yanlan's speed was still very slow. If they were caught by the monster, there would be nowhere to hide. Driving a tractor would at least allow them to hide and drive it like a tank, and they also had Ning Yanlan, a tank driver with powerful firepower.

"Then I'll go find some materials. You should recover your spiritual energy first, otherwise it will be very awkward if you end up staring at the monster!" Jiang Yuan looked around and began searching for various materials.

"Then I'll cheer you on!" Ning Yanlan took out a Spirit Awakening Pill and swallowed it to begin restoring her spiritual energy. Because she had taken too many pills last night, her recovery speed was much slower in a short period of time.

"You'd be better off refueling a tractor than me! It won't be so forgiving if it runs out of gas!" Jiang Yuan said with a laugh before heading off to get busy.

Ning Yanlan stared at his retreating figure, grinning foolishly, before finally realizing, "Am I in love? Why am I grinning like an idiot?"

The thought of this question brought her back to her senses. They had only known each other for three days, no, only two and a half days. How could they fall in love so quickly? Besides, she was engaged, and Jiang Yuan had a girlfriend. It might be okay for them to be affectionate in private, but Jiang Yuan definitely wouldn't dare to do it in public.

"Luckily, I didn't let him take advantage of me, otherwise he would have left right after wiping his mouth, and I would have lost a lot of money!" Ning Yanlan said as she started to look at the tractor. She considered herself to have high emotional intelligence and believed that she understood men very well. Without the constraints of love, men would run away even faster after they had sex. This is the law of desire: what you can't have is always more alluring.

Neither of them are ordinary people. Even though Ning Yanlan is a spiritual energy type and has four points of physical strength, just like Jiang Yuan has twenty points of physical strength, without awakening the spiritual power type, even if physical strength exceeds four points, one cannot become a true power evolver.

But the strength they possessed was real, so moving several hundred kilograms of heavy objects was a piece of cake for them.

Welding it shut was impossible; there was no such equipment available. Jiang Yuan could only find some wooden planks and roughly secure them with wire and nails. Since the tractor itself had a cab, as long as the main body was protected, the two men could barely survive.

After working for two hours, the two finally completed most of the reinforcement. Although the appearance was not flattering, the safety level had increased considerably, and small monsters could no longer stop the car from moving forward.

"Is everything ready?" Jiang Yuan asked Ning Yanlan.

"Don't worry, the psionic energy is OK, the fuel tank is OK, the food is OK, but what about these sharp-toothed fish!" Ning Yanlan pointed to the sharp-toothed fish on the ground. Her storage ring used to contain these fish, but at Jiang Yuan's request, she emptied the storage ring to store war supplies.

"I'll refine it!" Jiang Yuan made the decision immediately. Although the Great Wilderness Body Tempering Technique required the refinement of the power of ten third-tier monsters to advance to the third tier, the power of the first-tier monsters was still useful, better than nothing!

"Alright, I'll go pick some vegetables from the field! There's still plenty of time!" Ning Yanlan nodded.

Although the southern city still has food reserves for the time being, and the monster meat has not changed in quality, enough to feed everyone, the supply of vegetables and fruits has been stopped. It is no joke that a single vegetable is worth a fortune.

Be careful!

Jiang Yuan gave her some instructions, and Ning Yanlan turned around, smiled, and left happily.
