Chapter 333 Lu Yuan on Credit
"We have moved to a new base, about one kilometer away from the original location, near the Boji Bridge. Do you have a map? Do you need someone to pick you up?"
The soldier's voice continued to be heard from the intercom.
Hearing the talk of Boji Bridge, Han Ying looked at Lu Yuan, and he nodded at her.
"No, we know the way. We are driving a grey combat vehicle and we are going there now."
Han Ying directly rejected the soldier's kindness.
Lu Yuan was from Jiangcheng. Although the entire city had been destroyed beyond recognition, he still knew its approximate location.
"Boji Bridge is here, and we are here. The straight-line distance is not far, but the road conditions are unknown. My suggestion is to take the route of Wangjiang Park, where there are fewer buildings, but you need to bypass an urban village."
Lu Yuan was more familiar with this route because the urban village that he had to bypass was where his grandfather used to live.
The village is called Hongmei Village.
Before he was 10 years old, Lu Yuan basically lived there.
When he goes around there, he can also take a look to see if the house left to him by his grandfather was destroyed by the tsunami and earthquake.
At around one in the morning, the RV entered Jiangcheng.
Although everyone was mentally prepared, they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts when they saw Jiangcheng destroyed like this.
If they hadn't followed the route map all the way to Jiangcheng, everyone would have thought they had arrived at some ruins.
Standing by the window of the RV and looking out, it is difficult to find an intact building that has not been destroyed.
In the past, Jiangcheng was also a first-tier city, and clusters of skyscrapers symbolized the prosperity of this city.
Today, most of those skyscrapers no longer exist, but more low-rise buildings remain.
The streets were littered with the wreckage of various buildings.
Tall, dry trees lie between the buildings, and from a distance it looks as if a large net with trees as its meridians is woven.
There are also various rusty and crooked vehicles hanging on the big net.
"Let's go into the city!"
Han Ying was the first to leave the window. No matter what Jiangcheng looked like now, they had already arrived and there was no way back.
The RV first followed the previous route map, but because the soldiers moved the temporary base to a new location, the route map was almost useless.
I thought I could stop and rest after entering Jiangcheng.
Unexpectedly, it took them nearly an hour just to clear a small section of passable road.
While clearing this section of road, everyone made a decision.
The streets were littered with abandoned cars, and perhaps they could salvage some usable parts from each one.
Maybe it's possible to assemble a car.
While clearing the road, everyone cut the firewood that was blocking the road and hid it inside the collapsed buildings.
Once they find a place to settle down, they can come and take the firewood away.
While cleaning up the ruins, look for useful supplies.
Hide the ones that are still usable first and take them away later.
"I miscalculated. It looks like we won't be able to reach the temporary base today."
It is really difficult to clear a road for cars to pass by relying on manpower.
It will be dawn soon, and we have just entered Hongmei Village.
He answered the intercom, told the two soldiers about their situation, and told them that they probably wouldn't be able to arrive tonight.
The road conditions were like this and there was nothing the two soldiers could do.
The two soldiers also asked Han Ying about their current location and said they would go over to help clear the road after the sun sets tomorrow night.
After telling them the location, he hung up the intercom.
Everyone continued to clean up the ruins before the sun came out.
"Let's stop here today. You guys go in first and we'll take a look around."
Having arrived at Hongmei Village, Lu Yuan naturally wanted to go over and see if the building was still there.
"Then be careful. I just saw a dog over there."
Qin Qinghai moved a broken sofa that was blocking the road and said to the two of them.
"Okay, you guys eat first, no need to wait for us!"
After saying that, the two of them put on heat-insulating hats and parasols, put on their backpacks, took their dogs and left.
"It's closer if you take the shortcut. Cars can't get through, but people can still get through."
Lu Yuan took Han Ying for a walk along the country road.
There used to be many fruit trees planted on both sides of this road, but now only rows of dead trees are left.
There is not much planning for houses in rural areas. People usually build houses wherever their own residential land is.
So most of the houses are built quite densely.
However, looking around, there are not many houses that are still well preserved.
But compared to what I saw along the way, the situation in Hongmei Village is much better than outside.
The main reason is that the village in front of Hongmei Village has been assimilated by the city.
The houses in the entire village were demolished and rebuilt into commercial housing.
Although the price is not very high, the number of floors built is not low.
It is precisely because of the buffer of these large buildings that many of the low buildings behind them have been preserved.
Lu Yuan hadn't been to Hongmei Village for a long time. Along the way, he remembered all the ruined and intact houses.
"This used to be a small shop. When I was a kid, I often bought snacks here, always on credit. My grandpa would come over once a week to settle the bill."
Lu Yuan pointed to a two-story building that was still well preserved. He could still vaguely see a faded sign on their door that read "Hongmei Village Grocery Store."
When Lu Yuan was a child, he was very rebellious. The more his grandfather forbad him to eat something, the more he wanted to eat it.
He thought of asking his grandfather to complain to his parents, and then his parents would come to find him. Even if they just scolded him, it would be better than leaving him here.
This is also the reason why he was able to learn how to dislocate people's joints.
After becoming familiar with the human skeleton, Lu Yuan dismantled and reassembled the skeletal models over and over again.
He often makes mischief in the village.
Once, he had a fight with a neighbor's kid, and Lu Yuan somehow removed the kid's hand bones in the same way he usually removed those bone models.
The child wailed on the ground in pain, attracting a lot of people.
I got criticized when I got home, but my parents also came to apologize to the child's family.
From then on, Lu Yuan couldn't stop himself and became very skilled at dislocating people's joints.
After that, no kid dared to fight with him anymore. When they saw him, they were like mice seeing a cat.
Listening to Lu Yuan introducing the situation of the village along the way.
It was hard for Han Ying to equate the child who passed by the store after school every day, took something and left with the current Lu Yuan.
