After six years in the apocalypse, Xi Xi tragically died at the hands of her aunt's family. Unexpectedly, she was reborn on the day the apocalypse began. Just as she was preparing to leverage h...
"Let's go here. This section of the road is the smoothest," Xi Xi said into the walkie-talkie.
As everyone opened the car doors, the whistling sound suddenly intensified, like countless ice blades grazing their eardrums. The white mist rising with each breath instantly condensed into ice beads, rolling onto their windproof masks.
But everyone still managed to quickly knock off the thin layer of ice from the vehicle's exterior and start shoveling snow.
The three vehicles were of different sizes and could not form a proper closed loop, so they had to park together to form a trapezoidal gap, each against a wall of wind.
"First, put up all the windproof pillars for each RV!" Xi Xi said to the crowd, braving the wind and snow.
After a flurry of activity, she opened the RV's canopy support frame, and the canopy was painstakingly ejected from the roof roll. Every half meter it unfolded, she had to use an ice axe to break open the frozen folds.
"Clang—" The ice axe struck the frozen ground, sparking a burst of light. Cheng's father straightened up, his breath steaming in the cold air, and the thermos flask made a dull thud against his gloves: "Xiao Xu, get us some hot ginger tea!" Snowflakes rustled into his collar, but couldn't extinguish the smile lines at the corners of his eyes.
Cheng Xu stomped his frozen feet as he jumped off the roof of the car. The folding shovel in his arms still retained the warmth of the engine, and the metal handle gleamed from being held in his palm.
"Everyone, have some of this! It's made with red dates and ginger, while it's hot." Liu Enxi brought over a large thermos.
The rising steam condensed into water droplets on the surface of the insulated container. Xi Xi looked up, feeling the warmth in her mouth, and saw her father using the Magic Rhythm telescopic ladder to clear the snow off the roof of the car.
"What are you standing there for? Give me a hand!" Xi Zhongcang leaned out halfway, his woolen hat covered in frost.
After the RV was upgraded, the roof was raised considerably, and the central control screen even had an option to generate an outdoor tent with one click.
Xi Xi had seen this type of RV outdoor integrated tent in a short video vlog before. It is very suitable for RV campsites. She never expected to encounter it in a survival game.
After clearing the snow and ice from the roof, Chu Zhiqin pressed the option to generate the RV tent. She stared intently at the progress bar on the central control screen while peering out.
The pump motor was deafeningly loud in the polar silence. Suddenly, a wad of waterproof fabric shot out from under the canopy, and Xi Xi quickly grabbed the constantly being pulled-out tow rope.
Good heavens, it's actually a giant inflatable tent! Its working principle is completely different from the thick, cold-weather tents used by the Yamato Guard!
"Sizzle—" The moment the air pump engaged the valve, the tent suddenly came to life and expanded, the air cushion layer stretching out into a full crescent moon on the ice.
Xi Xi touched the air cushion layer and found that it was filled with warm air, radiating heat as if a heater were running along the seams.
"Not bad at all!" Xi Zhongcang stood on the roof of the car and looked down. The tent was very large, and the warm air valve was melting the ice crystals.
The moment the tent fabric was fully unfolded, the cold wind suddenly intensified, and the tent top billowed like a silver sail in the airflow.
Xi Xi knelt down and drove the fixing hook on the tow rope into the ice, then stood up and stomped her feet twice to make sure it was secure.
Liu Yunyan carefully tied the other end of the inflatable tent to the canopy of her RV. She took a few steps back and stood a little further away, beginning to examine the overall layout.
"Hmm, no problem at all! It's just like a traditional courtyard house!" Her gaze swept from one end to the other, and she nodded in satisfaction, muttering to herself.
The inflatable tent can be compressed and deformed, thus cleverly filling the rectangle formed by the three vehicles perfectly, creating a complete, sealed, inflatable, and insulated space.
Not only that, Cheng Xu also added another layer of cold-weather tents, which he had taken from the Yamato Guard, above the door curtain of each tent.
This way, you can simply open the car door and step directly into the inflatable tent!
This also created a warm passage between the three vehicles, allowing them to move freely between each other despite the low outside temperature!
