Chapter 529: Road Blocked by Mire
So Jingshu immediately expressed her idea. At this juncture, everyone would talk about their ideas together. Now everyone was anxious and wanted to find the fleet quickly. But after so many days, there was no other way except to keep moving forward.
Judging from Lvliu's reaction, the situation was not good either, because the other teams did not find the fleet.
"You've only been here once, and you've already remembered the route through this mountain range? Maybe you took a shortcut the last time, but now we're probably walking the entire route," Lvliu said, adding, "But we can't rule out the possibility that we're just too slow, so we haven't finished the journey yet."
Jingshu frowned, feeling that what Lvliu said was not wrong. There was no light now, and everyone couldn't even see what was outside, and could only see half of the way. It was Jingshu who was not affected by this, so she could always see clearly.
Yang Yang asked, "Jingshu, do you have any ideas?"
"Do you think this place...is similar to the last time we went to the United States and were trapped in the mountains?" Jingshu had just asked when her head felt like it had exploded and her memory seemed to be missing a lot. Sure enough, there must be something fishy here, and there must be some connection.
Yang Yang frowned, "If that's the case, it would be bad." Yang Yang understood the danger that time, and he made a lot of reports after returning. He was able to escape danger last time... It was definitely not for no reason. Yang Yang looked at Jingshu. Jingshu must have a secret. She should be someone like Zhen Nantian and have a common secret.
"Why not?" Lvliu asked while tidying up Jun Bao's clothes. If Lvliu wasn't driving, she would definitely be taking care of Jun Bao's housework, serving him as attentively as a personal butler. In comparison, Lvliu was more like an all-round superman, while Jun Bao seemed extremely incompetent.
Jingshu successfully lost the bet. At that time, Jun Bao was wearing white clothes to look coquettish, but after just one or two days, his body was covered with mud. However, after so many days, his skin was still as white as snow, and the few mud spots that appeared were carefully cleaned up by Lvliu every day.
"This... involves a confidentiality agreement. In short, our current situation may be bad. If I'm not mistaken, we will be trapped in a certain area like the fleet and unable to get out." Yang Yang said with narrowed eyes.
"How is that possible? We have radar and satellites, and we can contact the outside world at any time. How can we not get out?" Lvliu frowned in disbelief. She rechecked the planned map and found everything was normal. There was no loss of connection or safety issues. "If we encounter danger, we can always return."
"But how long will we have to go? How long will the oil last? Are other resources sufficient?" Jingshu asked. If all else failed, she would secretly add some oil, but this family must have a fixed amount, and it would be bad if she added it secretly.
You have to know that they have no supplies. In order to complete the mission, they should at least find the fleet, because the rescue signal sent by the fleet is nearby, and there is only one road, so they should be able to find it no matter what.
And now? Forget rescue, there's no sign of the fleet, completely stuck in the first stage.
"We still have enough gasoline...but as long as we can hold on until we can find the fleet, it doesn't matter whether we have gasoline or not. You don't have to worry about this problem. Even if we run out of gas, the minibus can still run." Lvliu said.
"If we save water, it will be enough for ten days or half a month."
"Don't worry about food. Although we have run out of snacks, we have brought a lot of compressed biscuits and energy bars."
Lvliu's words did put everyone at ease. Being trapped in the mountains wasn't a problem; they had more than enough supplies. They couldn't possibly come out for a rescue and then end up needing rescue again. That would be so embarrassing.
It was no use for Jingshu to be anxious. At least she didn't have to walk on her own two legs, which was much better than the time in the United States. She could only practice the Rubik's Cube desperately.
They walked like this for another three or four days, but the winding mountain road was still not finished. They were still in the mountains. After climbing over one mountain, there was still another mountain, and there were endless mountains that continued to rise and fall.
Even Lvliu realized that something was wrong. Even if they were slow, they had walked hundreds of miles in these days.
Thousands of kilometers, right? Even if the border mountains were long, they could have crossed them in a day at most. Why did it take so long?
"Are we going to run into a ghost wall?" Lvliu asked. Will we just keep going around in circles in the same place?
Hao Yunlai has the most say on this point. He shook his head and said, "We haven't encountered any obstacles. We have always taken a practical approach." He is surrounded by a well-organized family. Who would dare to play tricks on him?
Facts soon proved that they were not just going around in circles, because the mud and water, which were not high at first, suddenly turned into a quagmire. When the mud and water spread over the calves, the minibus had to stop. If it continued to move, it would most likely stall, and the increasingly high mud might also spread over the door gap of the minibus and seep water in.
The high beams shone into the cold mountains, and one could see the mudslides that had begun to flow down from the dark peaks nearby. The large concave mountain area in front of Jingshu had turned into a large, bottomless quagmire.
Jingshu and her group put on shoe covers and looked at the large quagmire with grim expressions under the illumination of high beams.
"The road is blocked."
Even Jingshu saw such a large quagmire for the first time.
"When we came here, we passed through high-altitude sections of road. Although it was winding in the mountains, the terrain is now getting lower and lower, and the mud and water are all flowing to the lower places. They gathered together and formed this big quagmire." Lvliu began to introduce.
Yang Yang held up two fingers. "One good news and one bad news. The good news is that the winding mountain road we've traveled on is not the same as the last one. We've encountered a different section here. The bad news is that this quagmire seems to have blocked our way forward. There's no other way around except to retreat."
The mud in the quagmire is even more sticky, and it is difficult to get out once you get in, not to mention that if a minibus really drives in this quagmire, the resistance it encounters is really unimaginable.
Hong Bin's soft voice came: "There is good news, Yang Yang. We modified the minibus the day before yesterday, making it capable of land, sea and air travel. However, because the temporary modification is not yet complete, the function is one-time. If we change it to water mode now, we can never change it back. If we encounter land again, we can only..."
"What else can we do?"
Hongbin pointed at the bicycle installed at the entrance of the minibus and said, "We can only pedal the bicycle to add human power, but it's very slow."
