Chapter 91 "Is this what it feels like to be led by a big boss?"
Lin Xiaoyuan had been staying in the village for a long time and had not gone out. He was a little excited when he knew that he would be taken along this time, especially when he knew that Jiang Jie and the others would also go, so he woke up early.
Lin Ke checked the van parked in the grain warehouse yesterday. Apart from a layer of dust from not having been driven for a long time, there were no other major problems. It was just that it was difficult to start due to the recent temperature.
In order to facilitate the loading of supplies, the rear seats were removed, leaving a large space that can hold a lot of things.
"Be careful when you go out. Follow your brother closely and don't run around." Zhao Xiaoyun stood by the car and reminded him worriedly.
"I understand, Sister Xiaoyun," Lin Xiaoyuan looked at her and smiled helplessly, "You've told me this eight hundred times since yesterday."
Zhao Xiaoyun reached out and poked his forehead, "Do you think your sister is nagging?"
"No, no, how dare I," Lin Xiaoyuan immediately begged for mercy, adding, "Go back quickly! It's too cold outside. Take care of yourself."
Zhao Xiaoyun nodded and went back to the driver's seat to talk to Lin Ke. Wu Li had already told him to be careful, so she didn't say anything more. She just leaned over and kissed him on the cheek, "I'll wait for you to come back."
Lin Xiaoyuan immediately covered his face and kept saying "I didn't see it, I didn't see it".
Several people were amused by him and the atmosphere became much more relaxed.
"Mr. Jiang and his team are here."
Wu Yan noticed the sound of a car approaching and turned his head, and saw the RV from a distance.
The weather was cold and the road was frosted and frozen, making it unsafe, so Jiang Jie was driving the car today. After approaching, he stopped nearby, but had no intention of opening the window to talk to people.
Wu Li and the others, who knew his character, didn't think anything of it. He and Zhao Xiaoyun stepped back from the car and watched Lin Ke close the window and drive away.
This time, Jiang Jie drove behind and did not speed past.
The heater in the car is not as warm as a kang stove. At most, it can ensure that they will not be frozen to death in the low temperature, but they still feel very cold.
But after Lin Mian took off his goggles and scarf, he still took off the thick outer coat. He was wearing a small down jacket inside. Although it was a bit cold, he still couldn't wear too much in order to avoid not adapting to the temperature outside.
The cold in the car was still bearable. He used his gloved hands to smooth the fog on the windshield and looked out at the snowy world outside. It was so quiet that not even a bird could fly.
The mist that he had wiped away quickly came back, blurring his vision, and he didn't try to wipe it off.
The defogger function was on for the windshield, and the view was clear. He looked at the van driving in front of him and drove very slowly to avoid skidding.
Fortunately, the city they were going to was not far away. Normally, it would take more than an hour to drive there, but at the current speed, it would take about two hours to get there. As long as they didn't waste too much time in the city, they would definitely be able to return on the same day.
I'm not sure if there are any supplies left there. If there is no harvest, I may have to go to another place. Everything is unknown.
Lin Mian was not worried about this. They had enough supplies, so they could just take a trip out to relax.
After driving out of the village, they encountered a problem. It was the remnant of the previous hailstorm. They had cleaned most of the roads in the village, but not those outside. The ice balls that had not melted were piled up on the road.
Lin Ke and the others had almost forgotten about this, and now they couldn't help but have a headache. They didn't have to clean up these things along the way, which would take a lot of time.
But there was no other way, it had to be cleared up. Lin Ke turned around and told Lin Xiaoyuan to put on his hat and scarf, then opened the car window a little, and the orange-red flames flew out.
The hail melted quickly when it encountered the supernatural power, but after the fire, the remaining water marks quickly froze again, so they had to be more careful when driving.
Lin Xiaoyuan also released vines to help, pulling apart the hailstones that had frozen together and scattering them to the side of the road, creating space.
But their cleaning speed seemed very slow to Jiang Jie, and they were cleaning in small pieces. He tapped his fingers on the steering wheel impatiently, stepped on the accelerator and drove the car forward, passing their van.
When Lin Ke noticed their car coming, he quickly retracted his supernatural power to avoid causing accidental injuries.
Then he saw the other car parked in front of them, and the flying water condensed beside the car, and then became thicker, like a flying giant snake.
The giant snake suddenly flew forward, and hail balls flew everywhere it passed. In just a moment, it cleared a section of road that was almost beyond their field of vision.
It was not until the RV drove forward that Lin Ke and the others came back to their senses from their shock and hurriedly drove to catch up. They saw the water snakes condensed by the other party appearing in front of them from time to time, tumbling and dancing, leading the way for them.
"Brother," Lin Xiaoyuan's gaze fell on the front, his eyes were bright, and he looked excited, "So this is what it feels like to be led by a big boss!"
Lin Ke nodded in agreement. He also wanted to make such an exclamation.
Lin Mian, who had long been accustomed to seeing Jiang Yan's actions, was used to it. He even knew that if he used fire, the other party would be able to clean up faster.
Their car drove forward smoothly, and the giant snake of water flowed diligently all the time.
Several times, Lin Ke couldn't help but worry whether the other party's special energy could hold up and whether he needed to stop to rest and replenish.
But the RV showed no sign of stopping, so he had no choice but to follow it silently.
Fortunately, the previous hailstorm did not cover the entire area. The area where it fell did not seem to be large. After about half an hour, the road ahead gradually began to clear up.
Jiang Jie retracted his special ability, slowed down his car, and retreated to the back of the van, hiding his achievements and fame.
Continuing forward, we found that the road surface was partially damaged, with some cracks and potholes. It did not look like natural damage, but must have been destroyed by alien creatures before.
The van could be carefully avoided, but the RV was large and could not be avoided, so it was a little bumpy. Jiang Jie tried to slow down the speed as he passed by.
Along the way, they experienced sandstorm areas and areas damaged by earthquakes, and they were already accustomed to it.
Fortunately, the damaged section of the road was not long, only a few hundred meters, and it became much smoother and flatter going forward.
The scenery in winter is more monotonous than in summer, almost pure white. After looking at it for a long time, it starts to get a bit boring.
There are indeed fewer alien creatures traveling recently. I didn’t encounter any in the nearly one-hour journey, and I don’t know where they are hiding.
In the van, Lin Ke and his companions were happy with this situation. The fewer alien creatures they encountered, the safer their trip would be.
But then he thought about the people in the RV behind him and thought to himself that even if there were alien creatures, they were actually quite safe.
I don’t know if it was to verify his idea, but soon the alien creature really appeared, moving very quickly towards their car.
Along the way, the frozen blades of grass were crushed, frozen in frost and fell into the soil.
Lin Ke and the others were startled when they heard the noise, but later they breathed a sigh of relief when they found out it was just a C-class car. He told Lin Xiaoyuan to just stay in the car and he opened the door and got out.
Jiang Jie and the others were also in the car and had no intention of getting off. Anyway, the other party could handle it.
Lin Ke stopped the mutants off the road to prevent them from accidentally damaging their cars during the fight.
The C-level mutant was dealt with quickly and did not take too much time, but he didn't dare to think about it anymore, for fear of being too happy and ending up in sorrow.
Apart from these minor incidents, their journey was relatively smooth. After driving for nearly an hour, they successfully arrived in the city.
There were no living people in the empty city. The snow-covered road surface was flat and traceless, and only when their vehicles passed by did they leave traces of tire tracks.
When Lin Xiaoyuan looked out, he even saw a frozen corpse in the corner, covered with snow and frost, and its original appearance could no longer be seen.
Having become accustomed to seeing death during this period, he silently looked away.
Continuing to walk deeper into the city, there is a very large shopping mall, which seems to have five or six floors. The items contained in it should be relatively complete, but it is not clear whether it has been looted before and whether there are any useful supplies left.
Two cars stopped in front of the door one after another. The door was wide open and there didn't seem to be any signs of damage. It was probably because it was not closed in time when something happened.
Lin Mian got dressed and got out of the car. He was immediately shocked by the cold air outside. The temperature was too low. No matter how thickly he was dressed, he would still feel cold. It seemed that the heating in the car, which he had previously thought was not very effective, was much better now.
After Jiang Jie got off the car, he helped him adjust his mask and the scarf around his face to prevent frostbite on exposed skin.
On the other side of the van, Lin Ke and Lin Xiaoyuan also got out and walked towards them.
"Brother Jiang, Brother Lin Mian." Lin Xiaoyuan was the youngest and called out politely. He didn't have many opportunities to meet Lin Mian, but maybe because he was kind and they both had the surname Lin, he still felt quite close to him.
Lin Mian also had a good impression of this younger brother who was a few years younger than him. He wanted to smile at him, but realized that he was wrapped too tightly and the other party could not see his face, so he nodded.
Jiang Jie was much more distant. He didn't respond, only saying, "Let's go our separate ways after we get in."
It's inconvenient to put things away when they are around.
Lin Ke wasn't surprised by this. They didn't like to hang out in groups, so it was good enough that they came with them. "Okay."
There was a power outage inside the mall, and it was pitch black when they entered. They were all prepared for this and each had a flashlight ready for lighting.
Lin Ke and his friends were anxious to find some scarce daily supplies, so they took Lin Xiaoyuan to the supermarket on the underground floor first.
Jiang Ya and the other person went upstairs. Anyway, if the supplies had been almost looted, it would be pointless to go now. If there were still some left, they would not be able to take them all. They could just take Lin Mian downstairs to clean it out later.
This kind of large shopping mall should have all kinds of shops upstairs. They might as well go up and take a look and buy some first.
After Lin Mian's ability evolved, the space is now very empty, so this time it is just right to help him increase his "inventory".
