The moment the button is pressed, a large amount of fuel is sprayed out of the nozzle.
The fuel mist dispersed among the termite swarm, but the termites on the ground seemed unaware, and swarms of them tried to climb onto the fuel tanker.
However, Lu Yuan slowly pressed down on the accelerator, and the car's speed increased instantly, with the spray dosage gradually increasing as well.
How far have you gone?
Sitting in the passenger seat, Zhou Keke glanced at the rangefinder: "We're already 500 meters!"
"Hmm! It's time! If we go any further, it might evaporate!"
Zhou Keke nodded, then carefully looked at the car window to make sure there were no termites before finally opening it.
Then he lit it with a lighter in his hand. At that moment, the temperature of the flame made the people in the carriage feel a sense of fear.
"Throw!"
Seeing Zhou Keke in a daze, Lu Yuan immediately called out,
"oh oh!"
Zhou Keke nodded quickly, her right hand trembling as she extended the lighter out of the car window.
Then he threw it backward with force.
The lighter traced an arc in the air, and everyone stared intently at it, hoping it would land where it was meant to.
Zhou Keke's palms were sweaty, and his heart was beating faster and faster. He even felt like he was suffocating.
The brief second felt like an eternity to everyone on the bus.
With a loud "boom".
Lu Yuan accelerated again, and through the rearview mirror, he could see a tongue of fire spreading continuously among the termite swarm behind the car.
The termites' bodies made a "crackling" sound as the fuel burned. The highly concentrated fuel burned for a long time, and in an instant, the temperature in the entire cave rose again.
Lu Yuan focused his gaze on the dashboard in the car. The dashboard not only displayed the current speed, driving time, and fuel consumption per 100 kilometers, but also various other information, including the temperature inside the car, the temperature outside the car, and some information from the fuel line at the rear of the car.
The temperature of the fuel tanks soared rapidly due to the fire behind them. The temperature of half of the fuel tanks had to be kept within a reasonable range. Although the fuel tanks were specially treated and had a high degree of heat insulation, it was still necessary to control the temperature to prevent the fuel tanks from overheating and causing the fuel to ignite and explode.
Fortunately, as Lu Yuan continued to drive forward, the temperature inside the fuel tank gradually began to decrease amidst the rapid temperature drop.
At that moment, the walkie-talkie in the car rang, and Lu Yuan answered the call.
"Zhou Keke, Tian Zhiguang, how are you doing now?"
Zhou Keke glanced at Lu Yuan, then picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "Oh! We're in good shape now! The car's temperature has dropped! Now we're going to ignite the second leg of the journey!"
"Okay! Thank you for everything! I thank you on behalf of all the groups!"
Zhou Keke chuckled twice, then looked at Lu Yuan and asked, "Um, Lao Tian, is there anything else you want to say?"
Lu Yuan shook his head: "No need! I don't need to say anything! Just let them catch up quickly! Otherwise, we'll be in a passive position again when the termites swarm over! Oh! By the way, remind him to keep an eye on the logistics guys. Those bastards are such a pain! Don't let them hold us back!"
At that moment, Chu Jialin's voice came through the walkie-talkie: "Okay, Tian Zhiguang, I'll watch what you say!"
Lu Yuan shrugged, surprised that Zhou Keke hadn't ended the call.
The car continued to drive ahead. According to the information obtained from the reconnaissance, the second section of the road was more than 30 kilometers long. Such a long distance would normally take the car about an hour to travel, assuming there were no termites and no need to spray fuel. However, now, every 500 meters traveled required the use of a lighter and fuel.
This made it impossible for the car to pick up speed, and the convoy behind it also slowed down, following in rows. Everywhere there were charred termite corpses, piled up like mountains, looking like a black stall.
Due to the burning, a thick plume of black smoke was even swirling at the top of the cave, making it impossible to see the termites above.
All people could hear was a "pitter-patter" sound like rain falling from above.
After driving for about ten kilometers, everyone in the car relaxed a bit. They were no longer worried about the road conditions, nor were they frightened by the explosion caused by the fire.
Lu Yuan drove silently forward. The car body seemed to be covered with termites, but every now and then, the termites would fall off due to the shaking of the car body.
The windshield wipers kept sweeping away the termites blocking the windshield, layer upon layer, like white sand.
Everyone was bored and some even wanted to doze off. Zhou Keke was no longer nervous and even started to chat with Lu Yuan about some issues related to raising children.
Is your baby a boy or a girl?
"Um...it's supposedly a boy! But because too many ultrasounds can affect the baby, we haven't had any more checkups!"
"A boy is great! He can be just like you when he grows up! Haha! By the way, have you chosen a name for your child yet?"
"Yes! I've thought it through! But we haven't finalized it yet! We'll talk about it after the baby is born!"
When is the baby's due date?
