Chen Xu drove the truck at a very slow speed on the road, keeping his attention and looking at the road ahead.

The fog was so thick that he could only see the road four or five meters ahead. If he drove a little faster, he would easily hit the railing beside him. Fortunately, there were not many cars parked on the road.

In addition to observing the road conditions, he also has to be alert to dangers that may arise at any time.

He hung the alarm on the rearview mirror and kept it on. The robot's attack last night made him realize that the world was not peaceful. Who knew what kind of danger was hidden in this fog?

In the passenger seat, Bai Jinxuan was wearing headphones and humming an unknown tune.

Beep, beep, beep…

Chen Xu's cell phone rang. It was the alarm he had set earlier.

He parked the car on the side of the road, took out his cell phone, turned off the alarm, unbuckled his seat belt, and was about to get out of the car.

"Where are you going?" Bai Jinxuan quickly took off his headphones and asked.

"Go to the bathroom."

She said, “I’m going too.”

When Chen Xu heard this, he paused in his action of opening the door, turned back and looked at her, a little amused, "Are you so afraid that I will abandon you?"

She said a little embarrassedly, "Well, actually I am a little anxious too."

Chen Xu thought she was really interesting. She was very silly when she was stupid, and very smart when she was smart. He said she was pretending, but he didn't feel it was artificial at all. If she could pretend to this extent, it meant that this had become a part of her personality.

"Let's go, then."

He shook his head, opened the door and got out of the car.

Bai Jinxuan did not open the other door, but got into the driver's seat and got out of the car behind him.

Chen Xu originally wanted to find a place to solve the problem, but now Bai Jinxuan was following him closely, so he could only go to a roadside shop.

After he came out of the toilet, he took out a bottle of mineral water from his backpack, unscrewed the cap, and said to her while washing his hands, "It's your turn, go ahead."

She said a little uneasily, "You, you just stand at the door and don't leave, okay?"

Chen Xu shook off the water drops on his hands and said jokingly, "How about taking a rope and tying us together?"

Her eyes lit up and she blurted out, "Okay."

Chen Xu was speechless when he saw her reaction and asked her, "What are you afraid of?"

She lowered her head, looked at her toes, stepped lightly on the ground, and said, "I know I can't do anything. I can't even take care of myself. You must find me annoying and think I'm holding you back."

Chen Xu thought to himself, you are quite self-aware.

She raised her head slightly, glanced at him quickly, and said, "You are not my fan, and you have a girlfriend who looks down on me. I, I am of no use to you."

"I can see that you've been trying to get rid of me. That's why you use that aggressive attitude. You want me to be unable to bear it and run away, right?"

Chen Xu didn't know what to say. She actually saw through his intentions. Moreover, she had a clear understanding of her situation.

As expected, no one in the entertainment industry is simple.

She said seriously, "But I will try my best to be someone who can help you. I can't cook, but I can learn. In addition to cooking, I can help you wash clothes and serve tea. As long as you don't hit me or scold me. I can also dress up beautifully every day, which is pleasing to your eyes, isn't it?"

Chen Xu looked at her expectant eyes, his expression softened, and said, "Let me see how you perform."

"Then I'll take that as your agreement." A joyful smile appeared on her face.

"You go in, I'll get the induction cooker from the car." Chen Xu said.

It is not a good idea to cook outside. It is safer to cook indoors. After closing the door, the thick fog will gradually fade and the visibility will be better.

Chen Xu walked several times before he got everything together, including batteries, pots, bowls, water, noodles, luncheon meat, and condiments such as oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.

Then, he closed the door and started to boil water. Bai Jinxuan came out of the bathroom, rolled up his sleeves and walked over. "Let me do it. I've cooked noodles before."

Chen Xu stood aside and watched what she did.

After a while, he had a general understanding. It was just as she said. She had rarely been in the kitchen. It took her nearly ten minutes to cut the luncheon meat, and the water in the pot had already boiled.

He didn't go forward to help, but just asked her to turn off the induction cooker first and let her cut slowly.

It took forty minutes for the noodles to be cooked.

“How does it taste?”

After he tasted it, Bai Jinxuan looked at him expectantly.

"It's edible." Chen Xu gave a tactful comment.

She looked slightly disappointed. She took a bite with her chopsticks, frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "It seems a little bland."

"I just put a little luncheon meat in it. Do you want it to taste like broth? Eat it quickly, or it will get mushy." Chen Xu didn't intend to spend too much time on eating. As long as it was eatable, it was fine.

He took a bottle of chili sauce, poured some into the noodles, and asked her, "Do you want some?"

"Yes." She took it and poured a little.

After dinner, the two continued on their journey.

A few days later, they had driven out of the city. There were fewer and fewer houses on the roadside, and sometimes all they could see for long stretches were trees planted on the roadside.

These days, they were not always on the road. They took time every day to load food and some useful things into the car.

As night falls, the whole world falls into darkness.

"Where are we going?"

Sitting on the front seat of the car, Bai Jinxuan was holding a bucket of instant noodles in each hand.

In the driver's seat, Chen Xu spread out a map in front of him and looked at it carefully under the light of a lamp hanging above his head. When he heard her words, he said, "Military/camp."

"Military camp?" Bai Jinxuan was a little confused.

Chen Xu put the map away and said, "Yes, military camp. If I'm not on the wrong road, I should be able to get there tomorrow. Is the surface ready?"

Bai Jinxuan reacted and handed over a bucket of pickled cabbage noodles. "It should be ready."

Chen Xu pulled out his fork, stirred the noodles a few times, and said, "Didn't I tell you to put two boiled eggs in it? Why aren't there any?"

"I wanted to put it in there, but when I opened the package, I saw that it was expired. So I threw it away. That profiteer."

"A whole box, thrown away?"

"Well, they're all expired."

Chen Xu sighed and said, "In our environment, it's good enough to have something to eat. It's not like it's inedible even if it's expired."

"That won't work. What if I get sick? There's still a lot of food in the car, enough to last us for a long time." She put the bucket of noodles aside and was about to get off the car. "Or, let me cut some ham."

"Forget it, don't bother." Chen Xu held her back, "Eat quickly, or it will get mushy."

"Oh." Bai Jinxuan sat back down and started eating the noodle bowl. As he ate, he sighed, "Oh, if my agent saw me like this, eating instant noodles every day, he would definitely nag me to death."

Chen Xu said, "When we get to the military camp, we won't have to eat instant noodles anymore."

She seemed a little uneasy when she heard this and asked, "But why do we have to go there?"

He said, "There are troops there, so it should be safer."

In fact, he wanted to know what happened in this dream world. There might be some survivors in the city, but even if they could be found, ordinary people would only know limited things.

If a war really breaks out, the military camp should be one of the safest places, and it is also a place where you can obtain information that ordinary people don't know.

As for why he knew the location of the army/camp, in fact, he found it from the map saved in the mainframe of the shelter in his previous dream. In order to verify some ideas, he memorized a few coordinates.

After the dream ended, he searched for these coordinates in reality and found that they all corresponded to the locations in the dream. This also verified his initial guess that the second dream was also created based on reality.

One of the coordinates is exactly where the army/camp is located.

Of course, going to the military camp was actually a bit risky. If a war really broke out, it would definitely be the enemy's main target of attack. He couldn't predict what he would encounter after going there.

However, he felt that it was necessary to take some risks.

The difficulty of this dream was level one, and the previous one was also level one. If he had triggered the tasks step by step as in the previous dream, without Yang Jinxia, ​​it would have been difficult for him to safely survive the crisis of the acid ant beast siege.

In that case, he simply changed the way he played.

…………

The two of them each had a bucket of noodles as dinner.

Then, Chen Xu got out of the car and walked around the car. After driving for a long time and sitting for a long time, his buttocks were sore. So, whenever he had a chance, he would get out of the car and walk around to exercise.

Bai Jinxuan walked side by side with him, with earplugs in his ears and humming a tune.

"What song is this?" Chen Xu asked casually after hearing her humming the same melody over and over again.

"Winter Love." She said, unplugging her earphones, and a woman's singing voice came from the speaker of her cell phone.

Chen Xu listened for a while and shook his head, "I haven't heard of it."

She asked, "Does it sound good to you?"

"good."

She said, "I found this phone on the ground. I have never heard of the songs and the singers in it. So, I know this is not Earth. We must have traveled through time."

Chen Xu smiled and said, "You know quite a lot."

"Of course. When I'm bored, I'll read some online novels."

"It's a good hobby." He turned to look at her and said, "You are reading the original version, right?"

"Of course, I'm a singer."

"That's OK. I have a friend who writes online novels. He opened a small supermarket, but business is bad. He loses money every month and can hardly make ends meet. He can only rely on the royalties from his novels to supplement his family income. He has to move goods and put them on display every day, and he has to spend six or seven hours writing novels. The last time I saw him, he had lost a lot of weight. It's really too miserable."
