“mouth area~~”
After driving for only a few minutes, a sour feeling welled up in my stomach.
Xia Yu clung to the trunk door and started vomiting. She hadn't felt anything earlier because of the adrenaline and dopamine, but now that she was relaxed, she couldn't hold it in any longer.
As an ordinary citizen who has never even killed a chicken (he has only killed seafood), today's events were a huge shock to him, but he recovered after vomiting.
There's a first time for everything, especially when the other person isn't a good person.
Aside from normal physiological reactions, he felt no psychological burden whatsoever, and was even a little excited.
Xia Yu suddenly became alert, wondering if she had a mental disorder and whether she should see a psychologist.
Forget it, after obtaining the system, he will be cut off from psychologists.
He was afraid that if he said something he shouldn't have while hypnotized, he might dissect the doctor first (doge.jpg).
Reverse slicing is acceptable, but this mentality objectively exists.
Similar to a fear of insufficient firepower, it is a manifestation of a lack of security.
For almost a year now, Xia Yu has had to hold something in his hand to sleep, otherwise he really can't fall asleep.
These symptoms are relatively mild; having PTSD would be a life-ending condition. Fortunately, he's relatively thick-skinned and unlikely to get it.
"Da~da~da~~"
Gunshots were heard, but the sound was far away and shouldn't have reached them.
The two cars sped up considerably and arrived at the enclosed building where the construction team was located a quarter of an hour later.
The armed security guards inside rushed over to open the door. Before the car had even stopped, the workers in the yard swarmed around it.
The engineering team was only nominally in place; the project construction was contracted out to different bosses, who then recruited workers from all over the country. As a result, the carpenters, bricklayers, plumbers, and steelworkers spoke dialects from all over the country, but at that moment, they all felt the same way.
Fear!
A year ago, Xia Yu would have been trembling with fear among them.
But life opened another window for him, making him no longer afraid when facing such situations, but angry instead.
His routine life has been disrupted. Now that the unrest has spread, he won't be able to get any projects for at least six months, and it will be difficult to settle previous payments. His private business of buying and selling old excavators will also have to be suspended indefinitely. Who wouldn't be angry?
However, from another perspective, wouldn't the gray-area arms trade be easier to do right now?
Is there any chance he can sell his T-64B1M and recoup some of the losses?
If I have the chance, I must seize it. I definitely won't be going back to Xia Yu after returning to China.
He overheard several leaders of the construction team discussing contacting the embassy in preparation for fleeing.
"Uncle Li, we'll head back now."
Xia Yu found Lao Li and told him about his decision to leave.
"Why go back? This place is the safest right now. I heard the city is in chaos. I heard there were gunshots in the town half an hour ago. It must be that someone took advantage of the chaos to loot."
Old Li offered his well-intentioned advice.
"The child's mother is still at home, and you know me, it's no big deal!"
Xia Yu said not to worry, it's just that there are people in town doing free shopping, he'll go back and pack his things and go to the countryside.
You can't guard against thieves forever if you're a thief for a thousand days. If the town isn't safe, then go back to the countryside.
"Okay, then be careful on your journey. We'll keep in touch."
Seeing that he couldn't persuade Xia Yu, he could only offer a few more words of advice.
"I almost forgot, take these keys. The villa project is a total waste, so consider this car as payment for your share!"
As he spoke, Old Li handed the car keys to Xia Yu.
He felt there was a high probability of him leaving this time. He was also traveling by bus with his employees during the mass evacuation, so he figured he might as well do a favor by leaving the car behind.
"That's not how it works. No one can predict natural disasters or man-made calamities. I'm keeping the key for you, Uncle Li. I'll have to return it to you when we meet again."
Xia Yu didn't refuse. He did need the car to get back, but the chances of returning it were slim. He hoped the situation would calm down soon!
The building's iron gates opened again, and the father and son drove the secondhand pickup truck toward the town.
The road was full of people and vehicles heading out of the town. There weren't many people going against the flow like them; their homes must be in the town.
Out of caution, Xia Yu didn't cross the main street of the town as before, and instead took a detour back home.
"Sophia, are you home?"
"Everything looks normal from the outside," Xia Yu shouted from inside the car.
The iron gate opened directly, and Zhu Ma came out to greet them, holding an AKm.
"Oh God, thank goodness you're all alright."
Sofia pulled her son into her arms and quickly told Xia Yu what had happened to her.
It turned out that the city had fallen into chaos even earlier, followed closely by the town. At that time, she was shopping, so she quickly threw down her shopping basket and ran home amidst the fleeing crowd.
He stood guard behind the door with a gun, fearing someone might rob him. He tried calling Xia Yu more than a dozen times but couldn't get through until now, seeing them return safely.
"Sophia, we can't stay in town any longer. Let's pack our things and go to the countryside."
This was a pre-arranged plan; we just need to execute it step by step.
Neither the mother nor the son objected, and all three of them got busy, some packing and others moving things.
Xia Yu drove the pickup truck directly onto the flatbed truck, then positioned the rear bed towards the doorway.
He had quite a lot of belongings that year: a ton of rice, flour, and cooking oil, dozens of bottles of water, and clothes and shoes filling two suitcases.
The Gree refrigerator in Xia Yu's room was also removed. He bought it himself at a much higher price than in China. If someone steals it and removes the copper pipes, he'll have nowhere to cry.
The generator, battery pack, and two barrels of diesel fuel (200L/barrel) were all loaded onto the truck.
This is just the oil we use regularly. The system's storage tank contains 2 tons of diesel fuel, all of which is first-grade virgin diesel that Xia Yu purchased at a low price from a black market oil refinery. After further refining by the system, the engine tastes quite delicious.
If a country is not a major oil producer, this unrest will not cause international price volatility, but it could cause its own oil prices to soar.
Xia Yu regretted not stockpiling more; the storage warehouse had more capacity than that. He had only considered the economic aspects, never expecting that plans would change so quickly.
I glanced at the system, and before I could even see the preparation progress, a message popped up.
[Congratulations, host, for achieving the "first kill" achievement. Garage #2 is now unlocked.]
"Glug~~"
Xia Yu swallowed hard. What... what is all this?
In his understanding, both servicing and driving vehicles can earn experience for leveling up, but this First Blood is just too exciting!
Is this the correct way to open the system?
Yes, since their inception, vehicles have gradually been divided into military and civilian uses. The fact that the system can equip both types of vehicles says something.
Xia Yu couldn't help but think of a series of vehicle shooting games such as War Thunder, World of Warships, and World of Tanks.
If he misunderstands, the vehicle assistance system in the used games isn't designed for enthusiasts, but rather is released to everyone like these games, so the multiplayer mode isn't surprising.
From online dating to Earth Online, it perfectly matches Xia Yu's vision of future life, combining technology with fun.
Okay, he retracted the "Why Not Spread the Agreement" and also gained a new understanding of the system.
