Chapter 675 Heavy Snow Blocks the Road
When we arrived in Wutong City, which was covered in heavy snow, we did not go in.
It's already 6:30 pm. If we delay any longer, it will get dark, and it won't be good to travel then. Wutong City is only 40 kilometers away from Jiajiang. At our current speed, it should take a little over an hour to get there.
The snow here is actually much lighter than on the way here before, since the roads were covered by heavy snow before, but not here.
I couldn't help but speed up and head towards Jiajiang.
Gu Yu was very quiet on the bus, barely saying a word the entire way. Most of the time, she was asleep. It was amazing how she could sleep like that. If it were me, with two strangers on the bus, I couldn't fall asleep no matter how tired I was.
"Where are we now?" Gu Yu, who was sitting in the back, suddenly asked.
I said, "We're already in Wutong City now, and we'll reach Jiajiang next."
"Oh." Gu Yu stretched in the back seat, making Hu Fei stare at her intently. To be honest, Gu Yu was really pretty, and had a great figure too. She yawned and asked, "Are you also going to Jiajiang?"
How big is this girl's heart to ask this question now?
Hu Fei said, "Uh, right, right, we're also going to Jiajiang. Actually, we used to live in Jiajiang, but we went to Hangzhou for some things, and now we're going back."
"I see. Do you know what the situation is like in Jiajiang right now?" Gu Yu asked curiously.
Just as Hu Fei was about to speak, I quickly interjected, "It's still unclear. After all, we've been gone for quite some time, and we don't know the current situation. So, let's wait until we get back and see."
"Oh, I see."
Gu Yu didn't ask anything more. I glanced at her face in the rearview mirror but couldn't tell anything. I just felt that she probably wasn't the kind of person I thought she was. This girl who was a bit naive probably wasn't.
But no matter what, we still have to be careful. After all, we just met today and don't know each other. Nobody knows what kind of person she is. Maybe she's a serial killer? In short, until we're sure, everything is uncertain.
Hu Fei seems to have really taken a liking to Gu Yu, but it's unclear what it is about her that he sees in her.
Time waits for no one, so we bypassed Wutong City and continued heading towards Jiajiang.
As darkness fell, the heavy snow began to fall again. In no time, the area ahead was completely covered in white, which left me feeling helpless. What was going on? Why was it snowing so heavily all of a sudden, blocking the road ahead?
Heavy snow blocking the roads is the last thing I want to see.
Seeing that the road ahead had disappeared, I had no choice but to stop the car.
I said, "The snow is too heavy, we can't walk."
It's really snowing heavily outside the car now. In less than half an hour, the road ahead has been completely covered by snow, and you can't see anything. This is making me very worried. If I continue now, the car will probably be buried by the snow.
Looking at the night outside, Gu Yu asked, "What do we do now?"
I said, "There's no other way, let's find a place to rest. We've been driving all day, we're exhausted."
I looked around and saw that the heavy snow had already buried the area, and it was all open wilderness, making it difficult to find a house.
I turned the steering wheel to try and find another place, but after driving for a short while, I found that the car wouldn't move.
The tires were stuck deep in the snow, which was really bothering me.
Hu Fei said, "How about we make do in the car for the night?"
I said, "No way. With this heavy snow, if it continues for another night, it might bury the car, and we won't be able to get out."
Hu Fei smiled wryly, "No way, this is the south, even if the snow is heavy, it won't bury the car!"
I said, "Even if we don't bury it, do you feel comfortable sleeping in the car all night? Let's go, get out of the car, find a place to rest for the night, and we'll set off again tomorrow morning."
"All right."
Gu Yu had no objection to this. After all, it was snowing heavily outside, and it was obviously unrealistic to spend the night in the car. It was more practical to find a place with a roof.
After we got off the bus, the university bells fell on us. We weren't particularly cold, but we felt quite annoyed.
Walking through the snow, my shoes got wet in no time. By the time we found a place to stay, my feet were frozen stiff and I couldn't move them at all.
We lit a campfire in the dilapidated house, and the three of us finally warmed up. We took off our shoes and started to warm our feet.
The snow was still falling heavily outside.
Gu Yu suddenly smiled, leaving the two of us men a little confused.
Hu Fei asked curiously, "What are you laughing at?"
Gu Yu said, "Don't you think we're just like the characters in the story, three people hiding in a cave on a snowy night, drinking and warming themselves, singing and talking happily?"
I gave a wry smile and said, "The current environment is indeed quite similar to ancient times. The zombie outbreak has led to the collapse of the social system, and technology will definitely continue to decline for a long time to come. It will probably be very difficult to restore it to the level before the zombie outbreak."
Gu Yu said, "I feel like you're being really serious. What I mean is, it would be great if we had some wine right now."
"..." I was speechless. This woman was really hard to figure out.
Hu Fei said, "Yes, it's in the car. I'll go get it."
"Okay, thank you," Gu Yu said in surprise.
I watched Hu Fei run off again. He didn't win the championship, but the snow wasn't too thick yet, and the car wasn't too far away. Running there shouldn't be any problem.
I glanced at Gu Yu, who was warming himself by the side, and asked, "Did you really come to Jiajiang just to find a place to survive?"
Gu Yu nodded: "Yes, I just want to find a more peaceful place and a stable life."
I said, "I don't believe it."
Gu Yu was taken aback.
I stared at her and said, "If you just wanted to find a safe place, you should have been able to find one on your way here. There was no need to travel all the way to Jiajiang. Not only is the journey dangerous, but you might not even make it there. I'm curious, what is your real purpose in going to Jiajiang?"
Gu Yu smiled at me. "Big brother, you're overthinking it. I don't have any ulterior motives. I just want to find a place to survive. Really, I'm not lying to you. I'd be a dog if I were!"
I gave a wry smile. "I'll say it again: you'd better tell the truth, or you should understand the consequences."
What are the consequences?
