Day 4: Car Modification



then.

Half an hour later, Xia Ning silently held her younger sister, watching Xiong Xue fall onto the sofa and snore.

Mei smiled and said to Xia Ning, "He feels safe now that you're here. He hasn't dared to fall into a deep sleep for the past few days."

As he spoke, he took off his shawl and covered Xiong Xue's stomach with it.

Xia Ning shook her head; no one could be as reliable as her [Danger Alarm] as she was on night watch.

The Persian cat jumped onto the sleeping bear's head and elegantly licked her paws.

Sure enough, it's the only thing that can satisfy its owner? (?? . ??)

"Meow~"

day4

Xia Ning didn't rush to leave the auto repair shop. She accepted Xiong Xue's suggestion and decided to manually reinforce the "Phantom Princess's Car".

Previously, her protective gear, the crash bars, only had bars added to the front and back. This time, she plans to work with Xiong Xue to reinforce the windshield and front and rear windows.

Like a security door, it can be made into a protective window, reinforced with louvers, so that it does not affect their ability to observe the outside situation while sitting in the car.

The lower connection is made into a hinge type, which can be opened, closed freely and is detachable.

Throughout the process, Xia Ning was the main installer, while Xiong Xue assisted and provided electronic equipment.

Xiong Xue, this middle-aged but immature teenager, has never held a steering wheel, but he loves watching videos of modified cars and robot battles. He can be described as a master of theoretical knowledge.

Xia Ning wasn't very good with her hands to begin with, but thanks to Xue Yuan's training—building and dismantling wooden houses—she honed a lot of her manual dexterity.

Although it's true that every profession has its own challenges, their carpentry experience made their simple modification much easier.

The younger sister, who had taken Xiong Xue's place to stay up all night, was catching up on sleep on the soft cushion.

Meimi couldn't help much, so she was in charge of cooking and rearranging the supplies.

Space is like a sponge; you can always squeeze some out.

We moved things in such a rush that a lot of space wasn't used effectively.

Xia Ning patted its little car: "Bear with it, you'll get even uglier."

Xiong Xue: ? ? ?

Is he even speaking human language? He doesn't understand the thought process of a master.

The three of them divided the work and were all quite busy.

Xia Ning was busy not only with her hands but also with her ears. Xiong Xue watched her drilling with the same excitement as a child seeing a Gundam.

Since electric drills and welding equipment were no longer needed, Xia Ning used screws and glue to fix the protective window.

Connect the iron pipes to create a detachable frame, and then fix thin steel bars to the rectangular iron pipes.

When Xia Ning cleaved the steel pipe in two, Xiong Xue couldn't help but gasp at the smooth cut, and even Mei Mi, who had been calm all along, widened her eyes.

Xia Ning modestly said, "I'm just a little strong."

The envy in Xiong Xue's eyes was almost tangible; Xia Ning bet he was imagining superhuman modifications again.

After Xia Ning finished installing it, Xiong Xue sat in the passenger seat and experienced it firsthand. He couldn't help but sigh, "I really want to sing 'Tears Behind Bars'."

Xia Ning sang in a high-pitched voice, "Snowflakes are falling, the north wind is howling~"

Xiong Xue asked, "What song is this, sis?"

Xia Ning made a peace sign: "A Plum Blossom."

"Not even a single cut?!"

Xiong Xue subconsciously squeezed his legs together.

Xia Ning shook her head. What a loser, unlike her younger sister who had no worries after being sterilized.

After the steel-framed protective windows were completed, Xia Ning added a storage rack to the roof of the vehicle. This way, lower-priority supplies could be placed on the roof and covered with a tarpaulin for rain protection, freeing up space inside the vehicle for more important supplies.

Xia Ning's biggest mistake was not putting the water purifier in her backpack; she had simply put it away in her spatial storage after using it.

When she was organizing her backpack, she prioritized the Storm Predictor over the Water Purifier. She didn't expect that a later dungeon would unlock vehicles. With the Hazard Sensor and Car Navigation System in the vehicles, the Storm Predictor became useless, and the Water Purifier was more practical.

Xia Ning thought to herself that next time she organizes her backpack, she should still divide it by function.

You don't necessarily need to bring items like the [Corrupted Antidote]. Although it stacks debuffs, the damage isn't too high. Xia Ning uses crossbows more often when attacking, and you can also craft more after entering a dungeon.

Xia Ning was working with her hands, but her mind was constantly reviewing the situation.

Even if the rules of the game change again and again, she cannot simply give up and give up.

The car underwent rough reinforcement throughout the morning, with various steel plates and protective windows installed. Xiong Xue walked around the car and said, "I must say, it really does have a bit of a wasteland war machine feel to it."

It's basically battle-damaged; Xiong Xue even saw grit in the gaps of the windshield wipers, not knowing where it had gotten in from.

Xia Ning stretched and admired the fruits of her labor.

【The Phantom Princess's Car (Level 3)】

Defense value: 70 (tip: Do you remember it was a car?)

Attack Value: 15 (tip: Zombie Slayer)

[Equipment: Hazard sensors, crash barriers, in-vehicle navigation system]

[Appearance: -40 (tip: Urban horror legend)]

Fuel: Gasoline

[Points available: 0]

After finishing the chickpea porridge and ham lunch prepared by Meimi, Xia Ning told the two to wait at the auto repair shop while she went to rummage through the nearby grocery store on her own.

Xia Ning didn't leave the modified car behind, but instead left them a walkie-talkie.

Without a network signal, the walkie-talkie can only cover two or three kilometers, but that's enough.

The doors and windows of the auto repair shop have been sealed and the zombies inside have been cleared out. If they can't even take care of themselves in this relatively safe environment, and if they are unable to defend themselves in the event of an attack and cannot ask Xia Ning for help immediately, then Xia Ning may consider giving up on this side quest.
