Chapter 97: Entering City D
Along the way, Xiang Yu encountered iron thorns blocking his way no less than a dozen times on this highway near the railway tracks.
But they drove straight past without stopping.
After leaving the railway section, Xiang Yu got out of the car and checked the tires, and found only some minor scratches.
The temperature stayed at 65 degrees and did not rise any further, but the hot world was like a huge steamer.
The few plants left on the ground slowly turned into dead branches, and the soil gradually turned into sand under the high temperature.
The breeze blew up the dust, which covered the collapsed houses. Even the roof of the RV was covered with a layer of dust.
Xiang Yu would clean up regularly every once in a while. Looking at the increasingly bad weather, Xiang Yu silently calculated the time in his heart.
If she follows the planned route, she should arrive in City A roughly the same time as she expected.
Zhao Lixin reinforced the RV's lift bed and also remodeled the iron frames that fixed some items inside.
Even at Xiang Yu's request, several storage racks were built near the refrigerator.
As evening approached, Xiang Yu found a spot on the side of the road to park his car. Looking at the two pots of green plants in front and behind that were growing well, he took out some black soil from the space.
I got off the car carrying the bucket. In the dark night, I relied entirely on the flashlight wrapped above my head for lighting.
He used a shovel to dig a few buckets of loess and carried them back.
The loess was mixed with some black soil and put into a closed storage rack. After being moistened with water, some vegetable seeds were sown in it.
There are six layers of storage racks. The bottom two layers are used to grow some seasonings and side dishes, the top two layers are used to grow various types of cabbage, and the top two layers are used to grow some strawberries and grapes.
Black soil is more fertile than loess, and plants are easier to survive in it. This is the test result obtained from two pots of green plants.
After finishing his work, Xiang Yu simply washed himself and began to prepare dinner.
The curtains were drawn, the movie screen was pressed, the sounds of variety shows echoed in the RV, and Xiang Yu was cutting vegetables neither hurried nor slow.
Ignoring the high temperature outside the RV, the warm scene inside the car seems like it was before the end of the world.
Xiang Yu picked up the chopsticks on the bowl, tasted it and took the food out of the pot.
After entering the territory of D City, a huge road sign stands at the fork in the road, [To go to D City, please take the Nine Bends Road. ]
Turn the car toward Yu and follow the directions given on it.
After walking for more than two hours, we saw a dozen workers wearing heat-insulating suits on the path ahead, repairing the road with tools.
Seeing Xiang Yu's car approaching, they were all stunned for a moment, then they stopped what they were doing and moved to the sides of the road.
The road is not very wide, but the road surface is always being maintained, so the driving is not bumpy at all. Xiang Yu is not worried about potholes ahead and not being able to avoid them in time.
A modified truck was parked behind the workers, with a few large words spray-painted on the body of the truck: [D City Road Maintenance Team.]
There are other roads beside this path, but only the one under your feet is under maintenance.
Road maintenance workers appear at regular intervals.
After the car entered City D, Xiang Yu did not see a single corpse along the way. Even on the dilapidated streets, he could see children and women wearing heat-insulating clothing shopping.
Those shops were not as glamorous as before the apocalypse. Except for the shops selling food, almost all other shops were available. Xiang Yu also saw a pharmacy.
There was just a long line outside the pharmacy, and some women holding children were standing in the scorching sun, waiting at the back of the line.
The streets were also very clean.
Some people were holding crowbars and prying away the stones on the ruins in an attempt to dig out the supplies buried underneath.
Having visited so many cities, this one is the most special one Xiang Yu has ever seen. There are no corpses, and no survivors like refugees were met along the way.
Even pharmacies were opened outside the city to provide services to survivors, and workers were always repairing the roads.
Even after entering the city, you can still see patrolling guards in some alleys, and this is just outside the city, which shows that the survivors in the shelter are also treated very well.
This repaired road leads all the way to the city. If you want to leave the city, just drive north.
In the shadow of the collapsed building, some elderly people sat together, chatting about family matters as usual.
Although everyone looked thin, they had rosy complexions and smiles on their faces. Xiang Yu couldn't help but become curious about this place, so he parked the car on the side of the road.
As soon as she got out of the car, two guards who looked a little tired came over and said, "Hello, Miss, RVs cannot be parked here, especially large vehicles like yours."
"The fire trucks will drive here at night. You can drive your car forward. There is a sign ahead. There is a parking lot for large vehicles over there..."
The two men showed Xiang Yu a way.
"Thank you. I'll leave right away."
Xiang Yu drove forward for a while and saw the sign at the corner.
This parking lot was probably built a long time ago, and the walls around it are a bit mottled.
