An hour and a half later, all vehicles and people finally passed safely, and the atmosphere on the intercom finally became cheerful.
Everyone felt like they had survived a disaster. The whole situation just now was indeed very terrifying. In the next second, both the people and the car fell down, and there was no trace left.
Don't think that because we've experienced so much hardship, we're indifferent to life. It's precisely because we've survived floods, droughts, extreme heat, zombie swarms, and other disasters that we cherish life even more.
So we become particularly afraid of death, terrified of it. So we feel like we've escaped death again, excited and happy. We start hugging our companions and revering life.
Without staying there for long, Xiao Yi picked two apples from the space and threw one to Yu Wei. The two of them ate apples while waiting for the main force, feeling very comfortable and happy. Yu Wei was actually curious about how the man who was very nervous just now could be completely relaxed now. Thinking of the small cat-like animal next to him, she understood a little bit. The sensitivity of animals is naturally not comparable to that of humans. So it didn't warn, so it was safe for the time being. That's why Xiao Yi dared to be so comfortable with her.
Everyone felt a sense of relief as they officially set foot on this uninhabited area, once known as the Roof of the World. But at the same time, they also sensed a completely different atmosphere. It was a feeling of desolation, a lifeless desolation.
Where once the scenery occasionally revealed traces of human civilization and the ruins of broken buildings, now there was only a vast expanse of white snow. There was no end in sight, no edge in sight. There was no hope. Everyone could even feel the wind outside the car, like a knife, a single blow would be excruciating. Fortunately, a large number of weasel skins had been hunted. In their spare time, many residents dried the skins over a fire, combed them, and then sewed them into fur quilts that could be stuffed inside clothes and pants. They were warm and comfortable, and could even be used as blankets at night. Extremely practical and convenient.
Yu Wei had been bored in the car for several days. As they were finally approaching their destination, they were in a very good mood.
It has been almost a year since she left her family and her familiar circle. She was finally reunited safely and this time she even found her lover. So her tone became much lighter. She was clamoring to go out and see the weather outside. Xiao Yi couldn't resist her coquettishness and asked her to change her clothes and take her out for a walk. Yu Wei changed into her previous winter clothes and coat. Xiao Yi took out a very thick fur coat from the cabinet. It looked windproof and warm, and wrapped Yu Wei tightly.
Just like that, Yu Wei, wrapped up like a bear, was led out of the car by Xiao Yi. As soon as she stepped out of the car, through the thick scarf, she felt as if ten thousand needles were drilling into her nasal cavity through the gaps in the scarf. The pain made her frown for a moment.
Xiao Yi looked at Yu Wei and immediately wrapped her tighter with his fur coat. Yu Wei felt better.
Of course, as we got closer to our destination, everyone relaxed a bit. Even with the biting wind, many people got out of the car to get some fresh air. But again, they barely stood there for a second or two before being frozen to the bone and scrambled back inside. While it wasn't exactly warm inside, it wasn't freezing either—at least around zero degrees. Everyone huddled together inside, so they didn't feel the chill. But outside, it was a different story. It was -75 degrees Celsius, with a force 5 or 6 wind chill, and it felt like my ears were going to freeze off in the next second.
After Yu Wei stayed for a while, she felt really cold, so they went back to the car.
After getting in the car, Xiao Yi immediately took out a cup of hot milk tea from the space, and the two of them drank it to warm themselves up.
Yu Wei drank the sweet instant milk tea and smiled from ear to ear. To be honest, she was not happy because she had milk tea to drink, but because Xiao Yi's attentiveness and concern for her made Yu Wei feel that the milk tea was extremely sweet.
Seeing Xiao Yi boiling water to make milk tea for her while carefully covering her feet with a blanket for fear that her feet would be cold, Yu Wei felt extremely happy.
Xiao Yi's thoughts were very simple. Love and life should be based on happiness.
The convoy drove on the road for two more days. During these two days, Yu Wei spent all her time sleeping and eating and hanging around Xiao Yi. She also introduced her family composition and basic situation to Xiao Yi.
Although Xiao Yi knew before that Yu Wei's background should be good, it was still much better than he thought.
Yu Wei explained that her grandfather had been the top commander of a certain military region, now retired. Her father was a soldier, and her uncle was a politician, both holding top positions in the North City and Southeast Military Regions. She was the youngest daughter in the family, and her mother had passed away years earlier. Her aunt was married to the Chief of Staff of the General Political Department of the Republic of China, Ye Ming's mother.
So, after graduating from medical school and pursuing a doctorate in biology, she followed Elder Yuan. After the apocalypse, she also went directly to the Northwest Base. Until this time, she had volunteered to come out because she truly wanted to contribute to humanity.
The large army that set out at that time was very powerful, and there were many guards accompanying them for protection. However, they did not expect to encounter such a dangerous situation in the end. But fortunately, they met Xiao Yi.
Yu Wei was not clear about the current situation at home, but she also knew that the Northwest Base was also moving here, and she didn't know whether they had arrived yet.
Xiao Yi listened to Yu Wei's description of her family's situation and understood what she meant. She wanted him to be prepared and go with her to meet her parents. After all, everything that should and shouldn't have happened to the two of them had happened.
