Chapter 81: Flat tire
The temperature rose so quickly that even the air-conditioned car began to feel scorching hot.
The sun was too scorching at noon. Looking forward, Xiang Yu could faintly see a heat wave rising from the ground.
The heat wave was shaking, and if a person stayed in such an environment for a few hours, he would almost die of dehydration.
Xiang Yu raised her hand to wipe the sweat from the corners of her eyes. According to the previous plan, at her current speed, she would continue driving for another week.
She can reach where she wants to go.
At this time, she has passed through J City, L City, F City, and is about to leave Y City.
Next stop, she will go to the E City Shelter because there is a mechanical master there.
When the car stopped at night, Xiang Yu reached out and touched the body of the RV. It was burning hot. Even after he let go of his hand, Xiang Yu could still feel a slight burning sensation.
The God of Machinery, Zhao Lixin, was just a small mechanic in the E City Shelter at that time.
This time, we took a detour to the shelter in City A to find his modified RV.
By the time the RV is modified, you will be able to come and go freely even in temperatures as high as 60 degrees.
Xiang Yu looked at the electronic route, which changed almost every day, but the destination remained the same.
Zhao Lixin only began to emerge in the fourth year of the apocalypse. At that time, he used new machinery to develop a robot.
He has just entered the public eye. When he stood on the stage and spoke, he told everyone that three years ago he was just a car repair worker in the E City Shelter.
He specialized in modifying scrapped vehicles that had been damaged by high temperatures. Xiang Yu admired him very much at the time, because so many people came to the A City Shelter, but only a few could reach this level.
Plans could not keep up with changes, and the tire broke down on the fourth day. At this time, it was still two days' drive to the E City Shelter.
This RV has the best protection among all the RVs. If it doesn't work, the other RVs will break down faster.
Xiang Yu got out of the car to check. The ground temperature was too high, the soles of his shoes had begun to melt, and the tires were too worn.
Feeling a burning pain on his skin, Xiang Yu looked at the scorching sun above his head, went back to the RV to change his shoes, put on a thermal insulation suit, then looked at the markings on the electronic map and started walking.
The RV was stored in the space, sweat dripped from the top of the head, and the two small hair dryers worn around the neck were blowing out hot air.
After walking forward for about half an hour, Xiang Yu could smell an indescribable stench even from a distance.
That's the stench of a corpse.
When I was driving the RV before, even if I saw a rotting corpse on the road, it would only be visible for a few seconds, but now the stench lingered around my body and could not be dispelled.
When you get closer, you can see a bunch of mosquitoes and flies hovering over the corpse, and there are some maggots wriggling on the corpse.
When Xiang Yu passed by, the mosquitoes and flies lying on the corpses were frightened and flew away instantly. Even Xiang Yu felt a little numb when he saw the dense swarm of mosquitoes and flies.
But Xiang Yu didn't dare to stop for a moment, because these mosquitoes and flies were produced under high temperatures. They were not afraid of high temperatures and even carried diseases.
Not only will the wounds from being bitten be extremely itchy, but in severe cases the bite may lead to disease and death.
Fortunately, those mosquitoes and flies do not actively attack people. They are only interested in corpses and rotten meat.
Xiang Yu ran forward quickly for a while, and then stopped after he was a little further away.
She was not the only one walking on the highway. In just a few hours, Xiang Yu had met no less than a dozen people.
Their cars were in the same condition as Xiang Yu's. Either they had a flat tire or were out of oil. Even worse, the cars were simply scrapped due to the high temperature.
Along the way, Xiang Yu also saw a lot of scrapped cars.
A couple was walking in front, supporting each other. Their lips were pale and they were severely dehydrated, and they even sweated very little.
The two men kept walking forward with their backs hunched, their toes dragging on the ground with every step.
He was obviously weak and his steps were unsteady.
About twenty meters ahead of the two men were six young men, and their conditions were not much better.
Xiang Yu first started walking behind a few people, and gradually, he surpassed them.
The six young men were about the same age as Xiang Yu, but the clothes they wore were all branded goods, and it was obvious that their families were well-off before.
Several people glanced at Xiang Yu who was walking in front of them, and their eyes widened, not for any other reason, but because of the equipment on Xiang Yu's body compared to theirs.
It's so professional.
