I Packed Away the Supplies and Fled with My Family

Nuclear pollution has altered human genes, granting abilities that can be plundered by others. Shen Xingmian managed to acquire multiple abilities but, in the end, overwhelmed by despair for the fu...

Chapter 105 Transferring to a Motorhome

The little tiger cub has grown quite a bit in just one month. When it lies down in the carriage, it takes up more space than Shen Xingmian, a human.

However, the carriage was now very spacious, and she could lie down against it; it was warm and cozy, and incredibly comfortable.

The two horses were the ones who worked the hardest. Later, to prevent them from getting tired, two more were released from the space to pull the cart together.

People rushing to catch the train also suffer. Before, the train doors were always open, and they could talk to the people inside. Now, not only do they dare not open the doors to let the wind blow into the train, but even if they did, they wouldn't dare to open their mouths for fear of letting in a bellyful of cold air.

Shen Xingmian touched the tiger cub's warm body and said to her mother with concern, "Mother, Father and Uncle have worked so hard. It will be more than a month before we reach the Northern Border. If it snows heavily, the road conditions will be even worse."

Shen Yunting knew the unspoken meaning in her daughter's words. She also felt sorry for her husband and elder brother, and she thought that her father felt the same way.

If we continue down this path, it won't be a training ground for the children, but rather a torment for my husband and elder brother.

"Should I go and talk to Grandpa again?"

Shen Yunting knew what his daughter wanted to say. It was fine when they brought out the tent, but the places where they slept were usually off-limits to people.

However, if you drive such a big car out, it's hard to guarantee that you won't be seen.

She knew what her father was worried about: if word got out, his daughter might be seen as a monster.

They simply couldn't afford any more mishaps with Shen Xingmian.

Shen Xingmian didn't think much of it, assuming that his grandfather's reason for refusing was indeed as he had said, unaware that they were considering his own interests.

"Mom, since everyone in the family knows my situation, it's not strange if we bring out something else. How about we switch to a motorhome? I haven't properly shown it to you yet."

However, she didn't have much gasoline. Such an important resource had already been largely looted not long after the apocalypse began.

At the time, she didn't even own a car and didn't know how to drive, so naturally she wouldn't bother to find much gasoline. She only got this much after receiving the first car.

The storage space in the room is probably only enough for the RV to make a few round trips to the North; an electric car is more sustainable for the long run.

But once we get through this current difficulty, no one will be running around aimlessly anymore; it's exhausting.

During the midday break, it was too cold to start a fire in the wild. The north wind was blowing fiercely, and with the low temperature, we needed an accelerant.

So they simply set up the large tent first and started a fire inside to cook.

Listening to the wind outside and the crackling of the burning firewood, everyone gathered around the fire to keep warm.

Especially Shen Yunqi and Luo Qi'an, after half a day, even with the hand warmers given to them by Shen Xingmian, they were almost frozen to the bone.

"Grandpa, this won't do. It will make Uncle and Dad's health worse by freezing. Let's use my RV instead."

Shen Zhiheng has not yet had the chance to see the "RV" that his granddaughter mentioned, but he can imagine that it must be something extraordinary.

Running on the road, you're bound to be seen. How will you explain that?

Children don't know what worries are, but he should think more about Mianmian and not just think about himself and others.

Seeing that her grandfather seemed to be softening, Shen Xingmian immediately said happily, "Then I'll show it to everyone right now, I guarantee you'll all like it!"

Even she, a modern person, couldn't resist the allure of a motorhome, so she doubted that these old-fashioned bumpkins could resist, hahaha.

The RV was placed next to the tent, and everyone was sitting around the fire when a huge creature suddenly appeared beside them, almost startling them.

But because I was already prepared, I was only slightly startled before regaining my composure.

"Come on, let me show you. We still need to learn how to drive it; I'm not even familiar with it myself."

Shen Xingmian doesn't have much talent in this area. She has studied the instructional videos for a long time, but she can only drive on flat, straight roads. She gets a little flustered when there are more curves.

Fortunately, she usually stays at home and doesn't need to use her driving skills.

The car doors were all open; you could enter through the driver's side door or the middle door on the other side. After she went in first, everyone else followed her into the car.

Then, Shen Xingmian heard a series of exclamations of surprise.

Hehe, she couldn't help but feel secretly pleased.

It feels so proud and exhilarating to show modern technology to the ancients! It's so joyful!

It must have been hard for her to ride in the carriage for so long!

Even a motorhome like this freezes to death in winter without heating, let alone a drafty horse-drawn carriage. If we had replaced it sooner, we wouldn't have to suffer like this.

There's a viewing platform on the roof of this RV, but it's only for summer. If you go up there to see the snow in winter, you'll probably freeze to death, so we won't use it for now.

The RV has many beds, including a bunk bed in the middle that can sleep two people, a double room at the rear, and a double bed above the driver's cab at the front.

The tables and chairs in the central dining area can be pulled out to form bunk beds, enough for two people to sleep comfortably.

After considering all the options, it seems there's one person without a spot. But that's okay; they can put a mattress in the aisle, or she can go back to her own space to sleep.

However, this has a drawback: if the car is about to drive off and she is still not awake, the people outside will have to wait for her.

Because she entered the space from that location, she would still be in that vicinity when she came out, not in a car that had traveled a long distance.

To prevent a car chase, it's best to send Grandpa or Mom back to their room to sleep; that would be fine.

Hey, wouldn't it be better to just send Dad and Mom back to the space? If she doesn't go back herself, then Dad and Mom will be the two of them.

Shen Xingmian grinned mischievously. "Hmm, that's decided!"

Everyone was looking around with great curiosity. The car body was made of metal and so smooth that it was something they had never seen before. They couldn't help but reach out and touch it out of curiosity.

But they were also afraid of damaging something, so they were all quite careful.

Shen Xingmian said loudly, "Don't worry, this car is very sturdy. You can touch it and bump into it as you like, it won't break."

Only then did the group grow bolder.

Shen Zheng spotted the upper bunk, grabbed the railing, and lightly leaped to sit down, resting his chin on one arm as he looked down at the crowd.

Shen Xingmian deliberately moved closer to Mu Zhizhi, pulled her into the double room at the back of the car, and enthusiastically recommended: "Aunt, this room can accommodate two people, it's for you and Uncle. See if there's anything you need, just let me know."

Mu Zhizhi blushed, feeling very embarrassed. With so many people around, how could she possibly share a room with her husband?

She felt embarrassed to say even a few words in front of everyone, especially that day when her husband protected her in the street; her face was practically burning with embarrassment.
