Xiao Yi adjusted the constant temperature of the space to about 20 degrees, which was a little hot. Xiao Yi was afraid of frost condensing on the windows, so he turned on the customized temperature regulator on the car windows. The enclosed small glass made it convenient for Xiao Yi to observe the situation outside.
Xiao Yi also let Lili and Xiao Yuli out. The two little ones were very curious about the new environment and started jumping around. The bathroom was separated into dry and wet areas. Although it was not big, it was enough for taking a shower and going to the toilet. Xiao Yi's toilet black water tank was made into a bag pull-out type, which was filled with cat litter. There was no smell and no need to worry about the temperature.
When Xiao Yi was doing the final check in the car, someone knocked on the door. Xiao Yi looked down and saw Huang Xiongwei standing under the car. He was jumping up and down because of the low temperature. Xiao Yi opened the door, but Huang Xiongwei did not get in. He just handed over a walkie-talkie and said, "Use this to contact us in the future. There is a resistor installed inside that can generate heat to resist the low temperature. Remember to charge it yourself." Then he hurried back to the car in front. The huge temperature difference between the inside and outside of the car caused clouds of white mist to emerge from the cracks in the car door, whooshing.
Xiao Yi closed the car door with the somewhat cold intercom, locked it, and plugged a power bank into the intercom. It turned on smoothly in a few seconds.
Cheng Meng's urgent voice came from inside immediately: "Team One, Team One, please reply when you are ready!!!"
"Team No. 1 1 replied, ready." "Team No. 1 2 replied, ready."···········
Listening to the reports one by one, Xiao Yi even felt a little dazed, as if he had really returned to the time when they fought side by side in those glorious years.
Finally, after Cheng Meng shouted for everyone to set off, Xiao Yi also started the car with everyone else! ! ! ! !
All the vehicles formed a diamond-shaped convoy, divided into different zones for personnel, supplies, combat, and mobile operations. Xiao Yi followed closely behind the mobile operations vehicle, providing close protection. The mobile operations vehicle consisted of three vehicles, carrying Professor Yuan from the research institute, weapons experts, biological specialists, doctors, and other key scientific personnel. Therefore, Xiao Yi was placed behind this vehicle for close protection.
The convoy left the base and set off onto the somewhat rugged mountain road. A patter of snow finally fell from the sky, making the cold feel less unfounded. Thankfully, everyone had prepared in advance, installing anti-skid measures on both tires and vehicles. After about four hours of walking, we finally emerged from the mountain road, picking up our speed slightly.
It is not without reason that China is called a major infrastructure country. Except for many highways and overpasses that were destroyed by earthquakes and floods, some rural roads built according to war preparedness are still relatively intact, and the vehicle speed is only about 70, which is relatively safe.
Xiao Yi looked out the window. In just over ten minutes, the snow outside had covered the entire earth with a vast expanse of white. All the broken walls and starving people were covered under the thick white snow.
Surrounded by warmth, looking outside always feels like a new beginning, a beginning, filled with endless hope. But what about those trapped in the cold? What does that feel like? Despair! Helplessness! The sadness and helplessness of being unable to fight against nature!!!!
We walked for another 6 hours, and it was completely dark. For everyone's safety, we decided to rest on the spot.
Everyone found a sheltered spot and formed a circle around the outermost vehicles, all packed with people. Everyone began to exchange clothes in an orderly manner. Those who had followed this time, whether genuinely or under false pretenses, seemed incredibly cooperative. Someone suggested pooling their clothes and having people take turns going out with the soldiers to forage for firewood, stand guard, or something like that. Otherwise, the soldiers on duty in the vehicles would be incredibly tired.
Once this idea came out, many people jumped on it and started to take action. Each car was divided into groups of 20, and each group would go out for an hour to find firewood or get out of the car to help. After an hour, when the cold became unbearable, they would return to the car. Although the temperature in the car was not very warm, it was around 10 degrees Celsius, which was not too cold to freeze to death.
In this way, everyone worked together to pick up all the snow-covered dead branches on both sides of the road and built a fire behind each car. This way, they could keep warm and protect the cars from the cold weather that had reached around -60 degrees Celsius.
Fuel is precious, after all. They're still over 3,000 kilometers from their destination, and they're only traveling a few hundred kilometers a day. It'll probably take them at least 20 days to get there. They need to save as much as possible.
Thinking of this, everyone worked even harder.
Xiao Yi didn't go out to join the fun. His car had been modified to withstand extreme cold, so he had nothing to fear in this temperature. He closed the privacy curtains on the windows, changed his clothes, and took a hot shower.
Sitting on the sofa, he took out a large portion of 5 kilograms of boiled fish from the space, paired with Dongpo pork and a large bowl of rice, and ate happily while listening to the shopkeeper's dialect accent from the TV series. During this time, Lili was a little greedy, so Xiao Yi fed him a small piece, and the spicy food made him drool.
Xiao Yi was eating when he heard the intercom beside him ringing: "Xiao Yi, Xiao Yi, please reply."
Xiao Yi had just put a mouthful of tender Dongpo pork into his mouth when he heard Huang Xiongwei's voice. He couldn't help but feel a little nervous. He swallowed the food in his mouth and then replied, "What's wrong?"
Huang Xiongwei responded immediately: "Would you like to come over for dinner? I'll introduce everyone to you."
