Chapter 220 On the Road
In the vast wilderness, the wind was howling and the dust was flying.
Five motorcycles sped across the rugged wilderness like arrows shot from a bow.
The roar of the engine is deafening, as if playing an exciting melody for this fast and passionate chase.
On the motorcycle, Lan Ximeng felt the thrill of speeding and completely ignored the oncoming heat. She sped up and overtook Xiao Yan and Jiang Ge who were in front of her.
Such a rapid feeling made Li Qiuyue, who was sitting in the back, scream with joy. It had been a long time since she felt such a feeling.
Not long after, Huang Zhishen and Zhou Nuo, who were leading the way, began to slow down, and Lan Ximeng also slowly slowed down behind them.
"We're stopping in front!" Huang Zhishen, who was sitting in the back, said loudly, his hand constantly pointing at the open space in front.
Lan Ximeng stretched out her hand and gave a thumbs-up gesture to show that she heard it.
After receiving the reply, Huang Zhishen patted Zhou Nuo, who was driving, on the shoulder, signaling him to slow down and drive in line with the next group of people.
Then the two of them used the same method to tell the others to stop in front.
Lan Ximeng and Li Qiuyue arrived at the destination first. As soon as they parked the car, people behind them came over one after another.
Lan Ximeng took off her helmet, tucked it between her arms, and came to Huang Zhishen under the scorching sun.
"Captain, are we going to rest here?"
"Yes." Huang Zhishen nodded, "Long Jing is exposed to the sun and is prone to dehydration."
Hearing this, Cheng Bai, who was in charge of logistics, immediately took out a piece of cloth from the space and quickly built an A-shaped tent.
"Everyone, come in and sit down and take a rest." Cheng Bai stuck his head out and motioned for others to come in.
Lan Ximeng watched the scene with great interest and followed Li Qiuyue in.
"Not bad, Xiao Bai, even the floor is cushioned." Jiang Ge touched the cushion on the floor, which seemed to be very expensive.
"This is what I should do as a logistics officer." Cheng Bai looked embarrassed and touched his head.
"By the way, everyone must be hungry. I brought cooking utensils and can cook something for everyone so that you can have a good meal and then take a rest."
As he spoke, Cheng Bai took out a pot from his space.
Huang Zhishen saw Cheng Bai rushing out to get things before he even finished speaking, so he immediately stepped forward to stop him, "No, no, no, no, we'll just take a break. Cooking now takes too much time, let's try your cooking skills tonight."
"Everyone has nutritional supplements, just take a simple one and you'll be fine."
"Oh, okay. I'll cook for everyone in the evening." Cheng Bai acted like a child who was eager to show his abilities.
When others saw this, they all smiled and said they would taste his cooking in the evening.
Cheng Bai saw that the few people now began to relax their guard and were not as confrontational as they were in the morning.
He breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed to be working.
"The drivers should have a good rest. We will take care of the rest." Huang Zhishen collected the empty nutrient solution and made room for the five drivers to enter.
After Lan Ximeng drank a few nutritional supplements and several sips of water, she felt like she was alive.
Even though I was wearing a thermostatic suit, my face was sunburned and I was extremely thirsty.
"I don't know if the water we brought is enough." Li Lu sat next to Lan Ximeng and put away the leftover water.
Cheng Bai was sitting on the other side. Hearing this, he replied, "Don't be afraid. I'm here so you won't be short of water or food."
As a logistician, how to obtain water and food are subjects he must learn.
"Then I'll leave it to you, Cheng Bai, from now on." After spending some time together, Li Lu changed her original idea.
She looked down on this man at first, as she, as a brother, had no ability to discipline her sister.
As a teammate, she was not comfortable entrusting her life to such a person.
But it seems that people are still okay at the moment.
Lan Ximeng lay down in the corner and did not notice the changes in Li Lu's mood.
Taking out the palm-sized cooler that she had bought earlier, Lan Ximeng pressed her entire face against it.
"Oh, right." When Cheng Bai saw Lan Ximeng's things, he remembered that there was a large cooler in his own space.
He patted his head and immediately took it out from the space and placed it between the boy and the girl.
"This will make everyone feel better."
"Well done!" Huang Zhishen praised Cheng Bai again.
The cooler started working and the drivers slowly fell asleep.
The other five sat outside and started chatting.
Jiang Ge tossed a stone he picked up randomly in his hand and said, "How long do we have to go to reach our destination?" After saying that, he threw it far away. The little birds were startled and flew up, instantly covering the sky.
"It will take five days if everything goes well." Huang Zhishen took the map and began to think about the next route.
An hour later, Lan Ximeng and the other four got up one after another.
"Let's go, let's continue."
Lan Ximeng, wearing a helmet, carried Li Qiuyue and followed Zhou Nuo again.
At nine o'clock in the evening, the sun of Laka was still high in the sky.
"When will the sun set?" Lan Ximeng felt like she was about to peel off from the sun after being exposed to the sun all day.
Huang Zhishen looked up at the sun and said, "The sunrise and sunset on the planet Laka are four times longer than those on the interstellar planet. Judging from the angle of the sun, it should be night in another day."
"According to this calculation, we should arrive at our destination at night."
"Everyone, the meal is ready, come and eat." Cheng Bai brought the prepared food to the table and looked up to call everyone to come back and eat.
Lan Ximeng sat between Li Qiuyue and Huang Zhishen and glanced at the table full of delicious food. Anyway, Cheng Bai’s logistics work is pretty good.
"Everyone, please eat." Wang Qin picked up a piece of meat and chewed it slowly.
Lan Ximeng saw that everyone else had started eating, so she slowly started eating as well.
"I'm so full. I didn't expect you to be such a good cook." Xiao Yan patted Cheng Bai's shoulder, rubbed his stomach and walked into his tent.
After receiving the praise, Cheng Bai blushed and said, "This is what I should do."
We need to have a good rest for the night first, so everyone has their own tent.
"Leave two of you to keep watch, and everyone else can go back and rest." Huang Zhishen and Zhou Nuo stayed behind to keep watch.
Nothing happened during the night, so everyone got up early and continued on their journey.
After two days of continuous travel, the sun finally set.
"It's so cold!" Lan Ximeng felt extremely cold even though she was wearing a constant temperature suit.
She began to put on clothes one by one. When she felt she was no longer cold, she took out a hand warmer from the space and held it tightly.
"I didn't expect it would be so cold after the sun sets." Wang Qin shivered as she drank the hot water, exhaling a stream of white mist every time she spoke.
"Yeah, I can't sleep now." Lan Ximeng felt her hands and feet were cold and she couldn't fall asleep at all.
"Everyone gather together, we have to get going." Huang Zhishen saw that it was getting late, so he started asking everyone to start moving.
Lan Ximeng opened the windshield of the motorcycle tremblingly and continued on her way.
After driving for nearly three hours, Zhou Nuo, who was in front, suddenly stopped the car.
The four people following behind were about to turn, so they immediately turned around and braked.
"What's going on!" Lan Ximeng parked the car next to Zhou Nuo.
"Everyone, drive the car over there quickly." Huang Zhishen pointed to a huge bush and asked others to go in first.
Lan Ximeng and others immediately obeyed the order and drove into the bushes.
The two people who stayed behind followed behind and straightened the fallen grass.
