Chapter 202 Extreme Cold. Departure
The two of them spent another month quietly at home. It was mid-March and the temperature had risen by 10 degrees without them noticing.
Chu An told Shen Xun about going out to look for Lao Chu, but he didn't expect to get his support.
"Don't be like me, I wanted to take care of my parents but they were no longer around."
Before she left, she went to Wang Ce's place in City C. He was not at home, so Shen Xun guided her to find the key in the fire hydrant.
There are obvious signs of life in the house, so he should come back to live here often.
She and Gu Ye did not stay for long, leaving behind the 100 kilograms of rice and half a bag of vegetables that Shen Xun had just ground, and went to see Li Qing, Zhuona and Yin Tianlin respectively, and they were all doing well.
She left each of them a notebook-sized iron box and told them that the contents could be used to deal with emergencies and not to take them out easily. However, she still did not tell them about her long journey, mainly because she was afraid that Li Qing would send someone to follow her, which would also make the other two families worried.
She left a note at 1111 so that anyone who came looking would know where she was.
The night before departure, Chen Xun told her that the Shenpai van had been repaired, anti-skid chains had been installed, a double bed had been built in the cabin, and a water tank had been installed, so the two of them could rest on the road.
"I think you should just drive this car and try to be as low-key as possible."
Chu An thought about it and nodded in agreement. Everything outside was unknown, and her mental strength was not enough to deal with a large-scale mob.
"When are you going to tell him about the space?"
"When we set out."
It was impossible for her to use the space to send Gu Ye away every time. Moreover, after spending such a long time together, she already had trust in him. She just didn't know how to explain it so that he could understand and accept it quickly.
"That's good. If he has ulterior motives, it would be convenient to deal with him on the road without anyone noticing."
“…”
Thank him on behalf of Gu Ye!
March 20, 2051, the temperature is minus 45 degrees Celsius, no snow, and the wind force is level five. We set off today.
Chu An took Gu Ye to the unfinished building, put the snowmobile into the space in front of him, then took out the van, and then threw him a doomsday novel.
"Get in the car. We have to get to Song'an Town before dark."
The distance between the two places is 420 kilometers, which took 4 hours before the natural disaster, not to mention the ice and snow now.
Chu An sat in the driving seat, "I'll drive first, then you can take over."
?
There was no movement outside. I turned around to look at Gu Ye. His eyes were blinking frequently and he occasionally shook his head.
"Hey, get in the car first."
Gu Ye mechanically opened the car door, sat in the passenger seat, looked at her deeply, and then carefully read the novel.
Leaving City C and heading south, the surrounding scenery passed by one by one, just like the past years, which are getting farther and farther away from us day by day. There are only a few things worth remembering, but we can't help but look back.
Gu Ye, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was watching intently, frowning occasionally, occasionally having a sudden realization, but he never asked any questions.
At noon, the two of them were resting in the car. Chu An took out pizza and milk tea from the space and clearly felt the corners of Gu Ye's mouth twitching.
It seems that it will take some time to get used to it.
After the two finished their meal, it was Gu Ye's turn to drive. Chu An was dozing off beside him and did not enter the space. He vaguely felt that the car was getting slower and slower.
"What's wrong?"
"The road ahead is blocked."
Chu An immediately became alert. The outside was already frozen, and it was impossible for obstacles to appear for no reason.
She looked forward and saw a lot of construction waste piled up in front of her, stretching for at least 500 meters. On the left was a snow pile that the car could not pass through. If she drove to the right, she would probably fall into someone's trap.
Looking around carefully, I didn't see a single person. It seemed that the person who set the trap was very confident that no one could get over the garbage dump.
"Wait for me in the car."
There was indeed a lot of construction waste, the height of the pile was higher than her head. It must have been hard for them to transport so much waste.
Chu An put his hands on the garbage pile, but he couldn't collect 500 meters at a time. However, after using his mental power to divide the range, it became much easier.
She collected all the garbage within 50 meters in front of the van and placed it in the garbage storage area in the warehouse.
He clapped his hands and returned to the car, "Let's go."
Ah - such a huge pile of garbage, gone in the blink of an eye.
Driving further ahead, we gradually saw the shadows of scavengers. Their cars were still very eye-catching. Some people stopped to watch them go away, while others ran after them.
As we approached Song'an Town, the sky suddenly darkened. Soon, the wind howled and the snow flakes danced wildly, instantly covering up all the surrounding sounds.
Gu Ye turned on the car lights and looked around. He found a glass dome right in front of him. The building was completely frozen.
He pointed to Chu An.
Chu An nodded. It would be safer with shelter. Although this is not Songan Town, it is almost there.
Gu Ye approached the dome, but didn't know where to get in. He walked around in circles, and finally the two gave up looking for the entrance.
Chu An used a cutting machine to directly cut off a piece of glass, and there was also a metal partition inside, all cut into a size large enough for two people to crawl into.
She didn't cut close to the ground, so it would be easy to guard the door if a villain came.
After the two of them entered, she found the heaviest bookshelf in the space and blocked the entrance.
Gu Ye's eyes suddenly lit up, "Xiao An, where did you get this bookshelf?"
Chu An recalled, "Grandma Xia's."
Gu Ye pursed his lips, touched the bookshelf, and his eyes became moist unconsciously.
"Gu Ye, let's check this place first, and I'll tell you something later."
Gu Ye sniffed and said, "Okay."
The two people turned on their flashlights and found that the dome seemed to be an activity room of some unit.
Directly facing them is the basketball court, and next to it are badminton courts, pool tables, massage chairs and fitness equipment.
At the innermost part are the tea bar, lounge, audio-visual room and bathroom.
The two men checked the whole floor and didn't find anyone. The stairs leading downstairs were half frozen, making it impossible for anyone to come up.
The two decided to set up camp on the basketball court. Chu An directly took out a 30-square-meter portable sunroom. It was so nice not to have to keep it a secret.
The two of them went in and saw a well-decorated apartment with two bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, a bathroom, and a balcony.
The layout is very regular, with the main door in the center. Entering the house is a living room of about 20 square meters; on the left is the bathroom, and on the right is the kitchen, each about 6 square meters; further in are two bedrooms on the left and right, each about 10 square meters.
Both the bedroom and the living room have access to the balcony, which is very spacious, about two meters wide, with a liftable glass, so you can cool off in the summer.
The whole house is well decorated, with all the necessary kitchenware, sanitary ware, beds and sofas. After the visit, I took out the generator, powered up the sun room, and turned on the air conditioner.
Gu Ye was still looking here and there, like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden.
"Are you hungry?" Chu An asked.
“Not hungry.”
She suddenly smiled at him and said, "How about we go collect some supplies?"
ah?
Chu An dragged him out of the sunroom. He had been itching to get his hands on some things, but the things here were of little use to others. They couldn't be eaten or drunk, and they weren't worth much.
She first collected the basketball hoops, basketball stands, badminton nets and various balls on the court, and then collected the sports equipment and massage chairs.
Then I went into the audio-visual room, and it turned out to be a warehouse full of office supplies.
Gel pens, whiteboard pens, pencils, printing ink, glue sticks, calculators, liquid glue, about 40 boxes of each, half of which are antifreeze types.
Ten boxes of A3 paper, ten boxes of A4 paper, 100 notebooks, 20 books of letter paper, and 10 letters of introduction.
Two paper shredders and two scanners.
