Chapter 40 Kyoto City

"Yeah! What to do!"

Lu Wei said solemnly: "I remember this river was the Huangxi River, and the height of the bridge there was not that high, probably 20 centimeters lower than the current one."

Bai Ziyue said, "If the water level is halfway up the car, we really won't be able to cross. And now the water level is still rising. This is the only way to go. The rest of the way is mountainous."

Several people's hearts tightened again and they became worried.

Xia Chuxiao pondered for a moment and said, "Can we catch up at this speed?"

Nangong Ling looked at the water level displayed on the computer and did some calculations in her head. Before she finished, the computer was taken away by a pair of slender hands.

Gong Yuhan glanced at the data on the computer and spat out a string of words: "At the current speed, it's hopeless to get there. The water has risen to the height of the car roof, and with the addition of the 20 centimeters, the car will float directly."

Xia Chuxiao looked at him and was a little skeptical about what he said, but she subconsciously believed it in her heart.

"Second Master is a good driver. He can definitely catch up if he just heads over," Bai Zimu said.

"Okay," Gong Yuhan said.

Xia Chuxiao glanced at him and said, "You don't want that hand anymore? What can you do?"

Feng Pan and the others said, "Second Master's driving skills are the best here. If he can't drive, and it's raining heavily, then we really can't get through."

"yes!"

Bai Zimu thought of something and asked Lu Wei, but it turned out that he and his wife didn't drive often.

"I'll do it," Xia Chuxiao said calmly with a gleam in her eyes.

Several people paused.

Xia Chuxiao didn't have time to pay attention to their hesitation. She sat directly in the driving seat, gave them a reminder, then stepped on the accelerator and the car sped away. The "clattering" sound in the heavy rain and the sound of the car speeding away made people excited.

The rapid rush shook them a bit. Fortunately, they were wearing seat belts, otherwise they would have been thrown out. Several of them grabbed the handlebars, holding on tightly with fear.

Still, Sister Xia is awesome! They wouldn't dare drive at that speed, let alone in the rain.

"Ah! Too fast." Feng Pan's mind was blank, he muttered to himself, and slowly slowed down. He felt that the speed of the car had returned to that of a car race.

"At this speed, we should be able to cross the bridge before the water level rises completely," Bai Ziyue said in a deep voice.

"It's raining a little more," Li Weiwei said, looking out the window.

Suddenly, Xia Chuxiao made a slight turn and drove diagonally. Gong Yuhan had already taken the passenger seat. Gong Yuhan looked at her with sparkling eyes and a hint of mischief at the corner of his mouth.

"Xiaoxiao is amazing! Her driving skills are at a competitive level!"

When Xia Chuxiao heard his words, she was stunned for a moment and did not reply to him. She continued to drive seriously, speeding up.

Her driving skills were really developed thanks to racing, as well as some escape attempts in her previous life. Not to mention rainy days, she would still drive fast even on uneven roads. She developed these skills in order to escape.

They soon drove onto the bridge. As Brother Lu said, the bridge was more than 20 centimeters lower than the ground. When she drove there, the river water had surged to a height of more than 40 centimeters and had overflowed over the bridge, but she was still able to drive across.

On both sides of the bridge is the river, the yellow muddy water, and the raindrops hitting the river make the river surge and the waves flow down, which looks a bit scary. The river is very big, and everyone's heart is tightened when cars pass by, for fear that their cars will wash the river to the side.

Time passed minute by minute, and Xia Chuxiao finally drove past. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when she drove past.

The car entered Kyoto City normally, and Bai Ziyue and the others started chatting again. "Sister Xia, I admire you. I didn't expect Sister Xia's driving skills are first-class!"

"I finally understand why Sister Xia always tells me to drive faster because my driving skills can't compare."

"That's good, we are both the same."

Xia Chuxiao ignored their conversation. In fact, she was also panicked when she drove across the river just now. She could feel her face change because she was afraid of sea water. Only she knew this. Or to be more precise, she was afraid of deep sea water in her previous life. Only those crazy people who disguised themselves knew this.

Her fear of water was not innate, but acquired. After being sent to those people by her scumbag mother, she had undergone countless experiments, including this drowning experiment. Whenever she was about to die, those people could always save her and keep her alive for a few more breaths.

Later she found out that she was able to be revived quickly because of a special power, no, two special powers. It was those cruel people who injected that person's blood into her body, which kept her alive.

During that time, she met that person. At that time, that person was already unrecognizable, with a half-black, half-red liquid oozing out of his body. He lay in bed all day, unable to do anything except speak...

Only then did she realize that there was someone who was worse off than her, and that person turned out to be him. At first she thought it wasn't him, until she was bandaging him and saw the mark on the palm of his hand, she confirmed that it was him.

Gong Yuhan: It turns out we have met in our previous life, but we didn’t know each other’s names.

Along the way, Gong Yuhan looked at the person beside him, taking in the emotions on her face. He wanted to ask something, but didn't want to disturb her.

Xiaoxiao is thinking about something while driving. It seems like she has something on her mind.

Kyoto City.

In a hall with simple but retro decoration, there were a lot of people gathered, all of them were senior executives of higher level, and the atmosphere was depressing for a while.

"Why do we need to transfer so many soldiers to those cities? We already have fewer soldiers, and if we transfer more, there will be no hope for those cities," an angry and dissatisfied voice preached.

The people sitting there were gloomy.

A moment later.

An old and heavy voice came, "Those cities are hopeless, but those who survived must be brought back. Humanity cannot be lost anymore."

"The water level of the Huangxi River has risen so high that we can't cross it, and it's difficult for us to withdraw our troops," said another dissatisfied voice.

…

We soon got off the highway and entered the city. Kyoto was more prosperous than we had imagined. We didn't expect to be able to come here after the apocalypse. It was obvious that the roads, streets, and community roads were decorated. Before the apocalypse, it must have been a bustling and lively atmosphere, but now it was deserted. Coupled with the continuous heavy rain and the dark sky, the city seemed even more deserted and desolate.

Xia Chuxiao drove to the location given by the second master. Now they were going directly to the Gong family's old house to meet up with their family.

"Hey! I'm finally back in Kyoto. I wonder if Master's wife is doing well?"

Feng Pan complained, and Bai Zimu beside him patted his shoulder and said jokingly, "Wow! You finally understand filial piety, the boy has grown up!"

"Go away, of course." Feng Pan patted his hands.

Several people listened to the two and smiled.

Bai Ziyue looked outside and said, "Kyoto City is also under surveillance. It's raining, and there are still many soldiers! Second Master, isn't this an armored soldier? This isn't yours..."

"No matter what kind of soldier he is, I am not responsible for the matters above." Gong Yuhan leaned back in his chair and said lazily, looking ahead, with a glimmer of light in the corner of his eyes.

"That's right."

Bai Ziyue's face suddenly darkened as he thought of something.
