Chapter 80: Under high temperature, the vehicle is about to be scrapped
In the morning, vehicles drove out of the village one after another. They were probably people who rested here last night.
But everyone hid well, and except for the sound of accelerator when leaving in the morning, no one discovered each other's hiding place all night.
After Xiang Yu finished her exercise, she took out the ice cream machine, plugged it in, and made herself a smoothie. She was not in a hurry to leave.
Before taking a nap, she checked the RV curtains again, which was something she was used to doing every day.
She started the car and left after the sun had set at 3:30 in the afternoon. The sun was not so scorching at that time.
Perfect for traveling.
Although he was driving, his vest was already soaked with sweat. Xiang Yu felt that it was enough, so he closed the window and turned on the air conditioner.
The moment the cold air hit him, Xiang Yu felt a lot more relaxed both physically and mentally.
Due to the scorching heat for two months, the accumulated water on the ground has been evaporated, and only a small part of the pools have water.
Some shoddy buildings have collapsed after being soaked in snow water and then baked by the scorching sun.
The concrete road surface has deteriorated so badly that cracks have begun to appear. It is likely that the highway will no longer be passable.
Nearing five o'clock, Xiang Yu parked the car on the side of the road, ate a simple meal and continued on her way. She estimated that she would reach the place where she wanted to rest before dark.
While eating, Xiang Yu marked the place he wanted to go on the electronic map.
The car started at 5:30, and after driving for more than ten minutes, we saw a white SUV parked in front.
White smoke continued to come out of the car. The four people next to the car were frantically opening bottled water, trying to extinguish the white smoke inside the car.
There were already several empty bottles of water on the ground. One of them turned his head and saw Xiang Yu's car, then stood there with his hands raised above his head.
He kept waving his arms towards Xiang Yu, shouting something, his eyes full of excitement.
The people around her heard their companions' shouts, and when they saw Xiang Yu's car, they made the same movements as her.
"Hey, please give us a ride, our car broke down..."
"Hello, stop the car."
Several people waved their hands and glanced at their smoking car. Instead of stopping, the car accelerated and drove past.
Seeing Xiang Yu's car change lanes right in front of them, the four of them angrily cursed, "Stop pouring water in there, leave some water for drinking."
Looking at his companion's actions, the man scolded angrily.
"What about the car? How do we get to the shelter? Should we walk?"
The woman only felt dry mouth at the moment, so she poured the remaining half bottle of water in her hand into her mouth. After a few gulps, half the bottle of water was gone.
The heat, anxiety, panic, and pain on their skin made the four of them anxious for a moment.
Several people who couldn't control their emotions started to quarrel.
Xiang Yu looked at the people pushing and shoving in the rearview mirror.
The temperature was rising rapidly now and she didn't have much time left to drive on the road.
When the temperature rises to around 60 degrees, her RV won't be able to stay on the scorching road for too long.
The RV drove forward for a while, and as it was getting close to evening, Xiang Yu saw several people hailing taxis on the side of the road.
The tires of their car were scrapped, and the people looked depressed after having obviously been exposed to the sun for several hours.
Xiang Yu did not stop, but drove straight ahead. The others did not even have the energy to scold Xiang Yu.
The guardrail on the highway had been violently destroyed, so Xiang Yu drove straight through it and parked the car in a ravine.
By this time the sun had already set and not a single star could be seen through the dark clouds.
After a simple dinner, Xiang Yu took care of the livestock in the space.
The crops planted in the black soil grow very fast, and the slowest ones will mature and bear fruit in just two months.
However, the most commonly grown crops are forage grass, water cabbage, corn and sweet potatoes, which are loved by the livestock in the food space.
This is also their staple food.
Xiang Yu went to bed only after finishing his work.
The place they chose was a ravine. When emptying the ash water tank, Xiang Yu walked along the path on the left, where there was a huge, dried-up puddle.
Some dried green moss can be seen above.
There were a dozen empty plastic bottles beside the puddle, which meant someone must have come here to fetch water before.
He drove away from here and glanced at the thermometer. It was fifty-eight degrees.
