Mou Xuan took the wrench and his eyes instantly became focused.
He squatted down and nimbly crawled under the car, leaving only his sweat-soaked back.
"Hiss... This screw is so tight." Mou Xuan cursed softly and increased the strength in his hands.
He could feel the resistance coming from the wrench, as if fate was against him and deliberately setting up obstacles.
There was silence all around, with only Mou Xuan's heavy breathing and the clinking of tools.
Chen Yao stood not far away, her beautiful eyes fixed on Mou Xuan, worry written all over her delicate face.
She wished she could take Mou Xuan's place and bear the pressure.
As time passed, the tension in the air seemed to solidify into substance.
Water conservancy expert Tao was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. He paced back and forth, muttering to himself, "What should we do? If all the water leaks out, we'll all be doomed!"
Although Ji the transport worker was also anxious, he knew he could not help and could only stand aside and stare.
He scratched his head and said in a muffled voice: "Brother Xuan will definitely be able to handle it. He is our eternal God!"
Defense team member Qi was more direct. He raised his gun and looked around vigilantly.
Although it is relatively safe here, he dare not relax at all.
After all, no one knows what will happen in the next second.
Mou Xuan wiped the sweat from his forehead and finally removed the faulty parts.
He breathed a sigh of relief and was about to replace the new part when he discovered a fatal problem - a part was missing!
"Oh my god! He failed at the critical moment!" Mou Xuan couldn't help but swear. He felt like he was slapped hard in the face by the god of fate.
He looked around anxiously, hoping to find something to replace it.
However, looking around, there was nothing useful except yellow sand.
A feeling of despair spread in his heart. Was he really going to fail this time?
"Brother Xuan, what's wrong?" Chen Yao asked cautiously, with a slight tremor in her voice.
Mou Xuan raised his head and looked at Chen Yao's concerned eyes, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.
He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
"It's missing a part..." Mu Xuan's voice was a little hoarse, but full of determination, "But it's not a big problem."
He suddenly thought of something and a mysterious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Chen Yao, take the tire off that scrapped jeep for me!" "Scrapped jeep tire? Brother Xuan, you don't want to..." Chen Yao widened her beautiful eyes with an incredible look on her face.
The others also stopped what they were doing and looked at Mou Xuan curiously.
"That's right!" Mou Xuan's eyes sparkled with confidence, "The rubber of the tire is thick and elastic enough, it can be used to make a temporary gasket!"
Everyone looked at each other. Although they thought this idea was a bit far-fetched, they could only choose to believe Mou Xuan at this moment.
Ji, the transport worker, immediately picked up his tools and removed a tire in no time.
Mou Xuan took the tire and started cutting it skillfully with a dagger, and soon cut out a rubber pad of suitable size.
"Done!" Mou Xuan installed the rubber pad to the missing position and then retightened the screws.
“Sizzle…”
With a slight sound, the leaking water finally stopped.
"Awesome! Brother Xuan, you are such a genius!" Transport Worker Ji shouted excitedly, and others also gave him a thumbs up.
The crisis was resolved and the team set out again.
However, the good times did not last long. When they passed through a desolate Gobi Desert, they encountered an enemy ambush again.
“Da da da…”
The brief silence was broken by the intensive gunfire.
"Get down!" Mou Xuan shouted and quickly hid behind a huge rock.
"Humph, I expected you to do this!" Mou Xuan sneered and took out a grenade from his backpack.
"boom!"
With a loud bang, the enemies hiding in the dark were blown to pieces.
“Go!”
Mou Xuan took the lead and led the alliance members to rush towards the enemy.
The enemy obviously did not expect that Mou Xuan was well prepared and was caught off guard.
“Bang, bang, bang…”
The sound of gunfire and screams interweave together to form a tragic song of survival in the apocalypse.
The battle was over quickly. The alliance members wiped out the enemy with zero casualties and seized a lot of weapons, ammunition and supplies.
"Brother Xuan is so awesome!"
"Brother Xuan is awesome!"
The alliance members cheered and the atmosphere of excitement reached its climax.
"These supplies..." Mou Xuan looked at the seized supplies with a meaningful smile on his face, "They should be enough for us to celebrate."
Chen Yao ran over excitedly, hugged Mou Xuan, and pressed her cheek against his sweaty back.
"Brother Xuan, you are so awesome! You scared me to death!" Her voice was choked with sobs, and she was grateful for surviving the disaster.
Mou Xuan also hugged her tightly, stroked her hair, and felt the soft touch in his arms. His tense nerves finally relaxed.
The alliance members around laughed in good faith. Ji the transport worker blew a loud whistle and shouted with a wink: "Brother Xuan, sister-in-law, when are you going to invite us to the wedding?" This caused another round of laughter from the crowd. A warm atmosphere spread in the team, diluting the previous tension and solemnity.
However, the good news did not last long.
When the team arrived at the alliance base and prepared to inject precious water resources into the water tank, water conservancy expert Tao turned pale and stammered: "Xuan...Brother Xuan, the water...water pipe...connector...does not match..." He pointed at the water inlet of the water tank with trembling hands. The original connection there was damaged due to the previous battle, and the connection of the water truck was a new type, and the two could not be connected at all.
