Chapter 32: The RV is in hand
After killing most of the zombies that followed, Youxi ran back to the front of the car.
She jumped out of the car and melted the lock of the iron gate with [High Temperature Perfume]. While kicking the door open, she couldn't help but complain to the system: The fourth gear is awesome, but it was a brand new full bottle just now, and in just a short while, half of the bottle is gone. If I drive the fifth gear, I estimate that a full bottle can only last for one or two minutes, right? No wonder it only costs 6 star coins, bad review!
[……]
She also knew that the Star House system would not respond to such complaints. At this moment, the iron gate at the entrance was open. She got back in the car and drove the camping RV to the outside driveway, then got out with the Tang Dao and began to clean up the scattered zombies that had just been missed.
There are too many zombies in this self-driving RV area. If the door is not locked again in time, more zombies will run out from behind.
She is not afraid of the zombie swarm, but she feels sorry for the star coins.
This time she spent 6 star coins to buy a new bottle of [High Temperature Perfume]. She only has 26 star coins left. She is a poor person...
Youxi feels sorry for the star coins, but the RV is too tempting. In addition, the camping base and the wetland park are in the same direction, so she marked it on the map early in the morning and planned to come and see the situation first. After waiting and seeing, she found that it was feasible, so she took action directly.
Although there are many zombies in this area, you can get to the RV area from the roof of the shop outside the iron fence, through the trees and the roof of the hot spring area building.
She used various buildings, trees and rockery in the hot spring area to move around, and finally used high-temperature perfume to clear the zombies around the RV, and then chose a clean RV without zombies in the car, and then drove all the way to the gate leading to the outside of the RV area.
But this time, half a bottle of [high-temperature perfume] was gone.
At this moment, she vented all her heartache on the zombies in front of her, swinging her Tang sword, moving her feet, holding the handle of the sword, and stabbing and chopping cleanly, killing five or six zombies in an instant.
Seven or eight more zombies came out from the iron gate. Zhao Zheng and Leng Mian, who were stunned for a moment, hurried forward to help, one chopped with a sword, and the other stabbed with a sword, and the speed of destroying the zombies was also very fast.
You's father originally planned to help, but found that he was not needed at all.
You Xi had already noticed that there was an extra car over there, and later saw that it was an acquaintance, and the other party came up to help without saying a word, so she didn't stop him.
The three of them worked together to quickly clear the last zombie and re-close the iron gate at the entrance. The original lock was destroyed, but this did not bother Youxi.
She opened the door and took out an iron chain and a large lock from the car (Xingwu Warehouse), and quickly wrapped the iron gate, then cast her eyes on the two people who helped.
I don't know if it was because they had just worked together to clear the zombies, or because Youxi had stood on the roof of the car without changing her expression, Zhao Zheng and Leng Mian only felt a blazing fire in their hearts at this moment.
Since the apocalypse, they seem to have always been oppressed by fate, accepting and compromising again and again, and escaping like a wolf again and again.
No one doesn't want the RV in this area, but after experiencing the tragic casualties and closure before, no one dared to have such an idea.
Until just now, they found out that someone could go against fate and move forward, and actually successfully got the RV from the area full of zombies!
You Xi weighed the Tang sword in his hand, looked at the two silent people in front of him, and slowly said: "Just now... did you see everything?"
Zhao Zheng nodded, Leng Mian also nodded, but still didn't say anything.
You Xi frowned slightly, thinking about what kind of method to use to threaten, or in fact there was no need to threaten.
[High Temperature Perfume] Although it is against the sky, there are flamethrowers with better effects in reality, but those equipment are just bigger and more bloated.
Besides, she and they just met on the road. If she changed cars and left, could they still follow her?
Just when she thought of this, Leng Mian in front of her suddenly moved and walked towards her. You Xi narrowed her eyes and was alert. Just as she was about to unsheathe the Tang sword in her hand, the other party suddenly lifted the hem of his sports T-shirt.
There was a healing wound on the girl's slender white waist and abdomen. The wound was very long, with a piece of gauze hastily pasted on it. There was blood in the middle of the gauze: "This was the first time I went to kill a zombie. I didn't have enough strength and hit a sharp object and got cut. I bled a lot at the time, but I didn't faint. I still killed the zombie and successfully found food."
Then, Leng Mian turned around and showed her a large bruise on his lower back: "This was when I followed the team to the supermarket to find supplies, and someone pushed me against the corner of the counter and bruised me. Later I beat that guy up and got the supplies I deserved."
As she spoke, she bent down and rolled up the hem of her sports pants, revealing her swollen calves covered with marks from being bruised. "I was hiding in a store overnight, and someone came up to me in the middle of the night, blocked my mouth with a cloth, tied one of my legs with a rope, and planned to rape me... It was very noisy at the time, and there were other people where I slept, but no one helped me. Later, when he was taking off my clothes, I forcibly broke the rope and kicked off his third leg..."
You Xi's gaze gradually softened.
"I haven't cried once since I accepted this doomsday."
Leng Mian shed all her tears when her father turned into a zombie and was locked in the study, screaming. "I'm telling you this not to make you sympathize with me, but to tell you that even with this injury, I still killed four zombies just now.
I know it's not much, and I know I'm not strong enough, but I will continue to work hard to become stronger, and I will never hold anyone back. So, if you want to leave, can you take me with you? I want to follow you and want to become stronger!"
Zhao Zheng looked at Leng Mian, his eyes full of shock and sympathy. When he met Leng Mian before, he knew that she was not doing well in that team, otherwise he would not have asked her to join him.
He knew that her father had changed, her stepmother and stepbrother had run away with the supplies, and she could only rely on herself, but he didn't know that behind these three simple words "rely on yourself" was so much pain.
Wu Meiling quarreled with him several times because he cared about other girls more than her, saying that he didn't care about her thoughts and didn't understand the pain and pain in her heart...
But until now, when he saw Leng Mian's injuries, he realized that a girl could also endure pain to this extent.
Leng Mian was a senior high school student like them. Before the end of the world, let alone killing zombies, she might not have killed a chicken or even a fish.
However, adversity forces people to grow. Some people choose to curl up in adversity and hide in the utopia they created, while others face their fate and live soberly and calmly every day, no matter how painful it is.
After a few days together, Leng Mian never complained about her current situation. Their team slowly advanced from the city to the outside, searching for supplies, fighting zombies, and competing with other teams. She never hid behind once.
Zhao Zheng suddenly felt that the little things between brotherhood and the girl he liked were nothing!
The world has become like this, why should he be trapped in those ridiculous little love and interpersonal relationships?
He also wanted to be stronger like You Xi and work hard against fate!

Ten minutes later, at You Xi's signal, You's father and mother went to the bathroom of the RV to take a simple shower, changed into clean clothes, packed up and threw away the dirty clothes stained with some zombie blood, and then began to move the materials used to cover up the Jeep into the car one by one, and put them in place, and then wiped the interior of the RV, took out the cool mat, pillows and thin blankets to make the bed.
The RV is not big, it is a one-piece RV with a bed that looks like a small truck.
The front and compartment are shaped like a truck. There is an arc-shaped protrusion with a skylight on the upper part of the front, which is the position of the bed board above the driver's seat.
The interior of the car is well maintained, and the items are 80% to 90% new.
The compartment door opens in the middle of the right side. Once you go up, there is a C-shaped booth and a table in the middle in the front right.
Further in is the driver's seat area, with a bed on it, which is quite large, with a skylight and a bedside lamp. It can be pushed up during the day, and the flat-screen TV underneath is exposed. At night, it can be pulled down and laid flat, and then the curtains are drawn, which is more than enough for one person to sleep.
On the left side of the door is a small kitchen, which is equipped with a sink with a flip plate, an induction cooker, a refrigerator, and a microwave. Below the sink and induction cooker are drawers and trash cans hidden in the doors. There is also a window in front, both with pull-out blackout curtains, providing good lighting.
Above the refrigerator is a microwave. On the right side, a small fan-shaped area is cut out towards the rear of the car, which is the bathroom with a shower. There is also a window inside, and a built-in washing machine. On
the other side of the rear is a double bed. The double bed is not big and can only barely sleep two people, but there is not only a window and a bedside lamp on the side, but also a socket for charging, and a curtain on the side of the bed that can be pulled up.
There are several sources of electricity for the car. Generally, as long as the car is started, there will be electricity while driving. The solar panels on the roof and the wind turbine at the rear of the RV can also solve part of the problem. The generator in the car and the equipped lithium battery can provide part of the electricity. Of course, the best way is to go to a special RV campground to charge, which can solve all electricity problems at once.
And this RV campground, she knew that there was one in the wetland park, and it was equipped with a large generator. She could go there to try whether it could be charged.
It was also because of this consideration that she had been thinking about getting an RV. After all, sleeping in a tent did not feel safe, and it was not as safe and hidden as an RV.
This evacuation from S City was more difficult than Youxi expected.
There were all kinds of traffic jams on the road, and people hiding in various parts of the city began to move. In addition to dealing with zombies, there were also humans.
They encountered a woman pretending to be pregnant and lying on the side of the road, a man who knocked on the car door with a knife in his hand and asked her to give up her car and belongings, and a child who was controlled by an adult and cried for the car to stop.
They also saw an elderly couple being bitten to death by zombies in order to get their children on the bus in time, saw someone in a certain team being stupid and releasing a whole supermarket of zombies, saw a mother holding her child tightly with her back to block the zombies when they bit her, saw couples saving each other, and husbands and wives turning against each other...
Food, blood, hunger, protection, conspiracy, robbery, greed, selflessness... Various scenes took place one after another. At first, the father and mother would sigh and wonder whether they should help save some people.
But slowly, as they saw more and more, and understood more of the darkness and complexity of human nature, they gradually became silent.
It took them three days to walk from the community to the camping site.
During these three days, You's father got out of the car to help You Xi kill zombies, and You's mother wiped the blood and meat on the car window with a towel again and again.
When they were still in the community, they had no appetite every day, and couldn't even chew steamed buns, but now the two of them can eat fried pork chops and chicken soup while chewing rice balls in the car.
Adversity makes people grow, and it only took them two or three days to adapt to leaving the building that sheltered them and facing this doomsday.
You Xi was actually a little relieved.
If she was the only one working hard, even if she could take them to the shelter safely now, what would they do when she completed her mission and left?
Although they were just mission targets, she had developed feelings for them because the mission world's parents looked similar to hers and showed the same love and care for her.
This mission was different from the last one, and interpersonal relationships would deepen her ties with this place. She didn't know if she could leave as cleanly and directly as last time when the system announced that the mission was completed.
So, before that, she wanted to prepare everything for them as much as possible, and hoped that they could adapt to the end of the world as soon as possible.

After moving all the things from the jeep, You Xi threw the car key to Leng Mian: "Can you drive?"
Leng Mian did not lie: "I have seen other people drive, I can learn."
Zhao Zheng said on the side: "I am a good driver, I will drive, and I can also teach her."
You Xi glanced at him: "I will leave today and will not stay here."
"Okay, I will go back and pack some supplies now." Zhao Zheng said, and wanted to go back to his car.
You Xi:...?
"Wait a minute." You Xi stopped him, "I didn't say I would take you with me."
Zhao Zheng:...
"There are too many people around you, I can't carry them all." You Xi was not polite.
