After Li Xue and the others got in the car, they calmed down and either practiced their supernatural powers or looked at the scenery outside the car.
The car they were riding in was still the military truck of the base. There were many trucks sent this time. After all the mercenary teams picked a truck, there were still many empty trucks left.
W City is not close to the Z City base. Before the end of the world, it would take four or five hours to get there by highway. In the current situation, it is considered fast to get to W City in two days.
The car was very bumpy, and the weather was very hot. Several people felt uncomfortable sitting in the car. Li Xue looked at them and saw that they were all sweating. After thinking for a while, he waved his hand, and an ice block as big as a refrigerator appeared in the car. The weight of the ice blocks made the car less bumpy, and the cool air from the ice blocks quickly lowered the temperature in the car.
Xiaoye and Haohao sat happily next to the ice blocks and no longer complained about the hot weather. The frowns on the adults' brows also smoothed out.
When they stopped for lunch at noon, everyone got out of the car with a listless look, but the members of the Hope Squad were full of energy.
The mercenaries looked at them curiously. Aren't the members of the Hope Mercenaries afraid of the heat?
The roof of the car was covered with canvas, which blocked the sun, but also made the car airtight. They couldn't stand the heat any more, so they pulled the canvas up, exposing half of the space for ventilation, but it was still useless. The weather was hot, and even the wind was hot. In addition, the dust raised by the car blew in through the open space, making people feel breathless.
They looked curiously at the truck that the Hope Mercenaries were riding in, and saw that the canvas was still covered well, without a single crack. Then, they saw the huge block of ice in the middle of the car. So that's what it was! Everyone suddenly realized, and they remembered that the captain of the Hope Mercenaries was an ice-type psychic.
This ice-type psychic is so useful! Not only is it said to be powerful, but it is also practical. Putting such a big piece of ice in the car is no different from air conditioning. They also wanted to put such a piece of ice in the car! Unfortunately, they were not familiar with Captain Li, so they couldn't open their mouths.
Li Xue and the others knew what those people were looking at, but they didn't care. They just took the food for their team and prepared to go back to the car to eat.
At this time, a man walked towards them.
"Hello, Captain Li. It's been a long time since we last met. I wonder if you still remember me?" The man grinned and said to Li Xue.
Li Xue really didn't have any impression of him. Jian Hui leaned over and whispered in her ear: "Captain of the Gale Mercenary Corps, Captain Zhou Chaoqing. We have been on missions together before."
Li Xue smiled at Captain Zhou shyly. Although the mask covered most of her face, her eyes looked at him sincerely: "I'm sorry, Captain Zhou, I can't remember it at the moment, please forgive me."
Captain Zhou waved his hands: "No, no, Captain Li must have experienced a lot in the past six months, it's normal that he can't remember it at the moment." He shook his head a little embarrassedly, and chuckled: "Captain Li, I have a request, you see..."
Li Xue probably guessed what it was, so she smiled and said: "Captain Zhou, please speak."
"Well, I would like to ask Captain Li to put a piece of ice in our carriage. It's really hot today, and the team members are exhausted. What if something happens on the road, how can they deal with it like this?" Captain Zhou was afraid that Li Xue would not agree, and continued: "Don't let you work in vain. We will use crystal cores to buy ice. What do you think about one piece of ice and ten crystal cores?"
Li Xue smiled and shook her head. Before she could say anything, Captain Zhou thought Li Xue was unwilling, and hurriedly said: "If it's not enough, we are willing to add crystal cores."
"No, Captain Zhou misunderstood. What I mean is that putting an ice block is just a piece of effort. Why do you need to pay for it?" Li Xue explained.
"That won't do. I can't let you work in vain. Otherwise, I will feel bad." Captain Zhou insisted on giving the crystal core.
"Really, it's not necessary. We are comrades in arms on a mission together. It's only right for us to help
each other." "Captain Li is right. We are comrades in arms on a mission together. We should really help each other." A voice interrupted them. They turned their heads and saw that it was the leader of this mission - Captain Qian.
Captain Qian came over, pulled up his clothes and wiped the sweat off his head. It was really hot that day. He said to Li Xue, "Captain Li, although we should help each other, we can't let your work in vain. So, as the leader of this mission, I will make the decision. Please put a piece of ice on each car. One piece of ice will be calculated as ten ordinary crystal cores. After the mission is over, I will apply to the base to subsidize you with these crystal cores. Is that okay?" Before
Li Xue opened her mouth, those who heard Captain Qian's words ran over with a smile and said to Li Xue, "Captain Li, just agree to it."
"Captain Li, just agree to it quickly, and then put the ice for us. It's really unbearable today." "
That's right, Captain Li, we can't let your work in vain."
These people talked at the same time, leaving Li Xue unable to get a word in. Finally, Captain Qian waved his hand at them, signaling them to be quiet. Then, he looked at Li Xue: "Captain Li, just agree."
Li Xue wanted to refuse, but Guo Qingchong winked at her implicitly. Was this a sign for her to agree?
So, she smiled and nodded: "Okay, thank you for your care, Captain Qian. Li Xue will not refuse."
As soon as Li Xue nodded, those people cheered happily. With ice cubes, they would not have to suffer this pain. Afterwards, Li Xue put ice cubes in one car after another. After seeing the ice cubes in the car, those people could not wait to climb into the car and refused to get out of the car after sitting in the car.
After all the cars were filled with ice, Li Xue put a large block of ice in the cab of each car and said to Captain Qian: "This ice is provided free of charge to the drivers. Just consider it as my thanks to Captain Qian for taking care of our Hope Team."
Captain Qian did not refuse and accepted it with a smile: "Captain Li is indeed a generous woman."
"I don't deserve it. Captain Qian is so kind and righteous that all of us mercenaries who participated in this mission have benefited."
The two of them exchanged so many official words that Li Xue, who returned to the car, felt that talking to these people was more tiring than fighting zombies.
Lin Miao laughed at Li Xue for being useless, looked at the world outside the car that was baked a little bleached by the sun, and fell into deep thought.
