"Old Hong, the fuel consumption of these cars..." Before Mou Xuan finished speaking, his brows furrowed tightly as if he had been stung by a bee.
His sharp eyes were now fixed on the road.
"What's wrong, Brother Xuan?" The driver of Hong Transport was startled by Mou Xuan's sudden shout and almost lost his grip on the steering wheel.
Mou Xuan ignored him and jumped out of the car, squatted down, and gently rubbed the road with his fingers.
The touch was cold, rough, and a little bit unsettling...fragile.
"This road won't work!" Mou Xuan stood up suddenly and said firmly.
His voice was like a hammer hitting a steel plate, sonorous and powerful, and unquestionable.
"No? Brother Xuan, this is the road we paved with great effort, why is it not working?" Transport driver Hong looked confused, he had driven on this road himself and apart from being a little bumpy, there was nothing wrong with it!
Mou Xuan took a deep breath, pointed at a tiny crack on the road, and said, "See this crack? If heavy trucks run a few more times, the road will 'break'! By then, let alone transporting supplies, we will be trapped!"
This is not an exaggeration.
In the end times, roads are lifelines!
If the lifeline is broken, then it would be like “crying to the sky and the earth, but no one will answer.”
For a moment, the atmosphere became solemn.
Everyone looked at each other, and saw deep worry in each other's eyes.
"Brother Xuan, then...what should we do?" Road Engineer Fang asked with a sad face.
He is the person in charge of this road project. If there is any problem with the road, he will be the one to bear the consequences!
Mou Xuan didn't say anything, but silently called out to his golden finger in his heart - the time power!
"Old buddy, give it some strength! This time it's all up to you!"
As a familiar feeling of dizziness came over him, Mou Xuan's consciousness once again traveled through time and space.
This time, he "saw" the geological structure of the surrounding area.
It was as if he had opened his "X-ray eyes" and could see the situation underground clearly.
"Hmm? This is... basalt?" Mou Xuan's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had discovered a new continent.
Basalt, a material that was widely used in the construction industry before the end of the world, is hard, wear-resistant and pressure-resistant. It is simply tailor-made for the roads in the end of the world!
But, here comes the problem.
This basalt vein is located in a place called "Death Valley".
Before the apocalypse, that place was famous for its dangerous terrain and the presence of poisonous insects and ferocious beasts. After the apocalypse, it became a paradise for mutant creatures, and the danger level was extremely high!
"This... this is really 'one must be careful to seek wealth and honor'!" Mou Xuan smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Brother Xuan, is there any solution?" Road Engineer Fang saw Mou Xuan's expression and asked anxiously, as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.
Mou Xuan nodded, and when he told everyone about the basalt, everyone was immediately excited.
"What? Death Valley? Who dares to go there? Can they come back alive after going there?"
"That's right, Brother Xuan, let's think of other ways!"
"How about we just use the current route? At worst, we can carry less cargo and make more trips?"
Listening to the discussions of the crowd, Mou Xuan's face became increasingly gloomy.
He knew that everyone was scared by the name of "Death Valley".
“I’ll go!”
Just then, a voice broke the silence.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw the raw material purchaser walking out with his chest puffed out and a determined look on his face.
"Brother Xuan, oh my god! Isn't it just the Death Valley? I'm going to give it a try!" The raw material purchaser's voice was not loud, but it was full of determination.
Mou Xuan looked at him. This kid seemed quiet at ordinary times, but he was quite courageous at critical moments!
"Okay! Lao Mao, you're one of them!" Mou Xuan patted his shoulder and said, "But we can't just do this recklessly. We need to think long and hard."
Mou Xuan's words calmed down the originally agitated crowd.
Everyone knows that Mou Xuan is about to start "deploying his troops."
"Lao Mao, take a few people and go to the outskirts of Death Valley to scout the situation. Remember, safety first!"
"Planner Fei, you are responsible for drawing up a detailed action plan, including routes, personnel deployment, equipment requirements, etc. Remember, you must consider everything carefully and not leave anything out!"
"Warehouse Manager Chang, you are responsible for counting the supplies in the warehouse to see if there are any that can be used. Remember, don't give me those 'expired' things anymore!"
Mou Xuan issued orders in an orderly manner. Each order was concise and clear, and went straight to the point.
As orders were issued one after another, the morale, which had been somewhat low, actually began to improve.
Everyone feels that as long as they follow Brother Xuan, there will be no obstacles that cannot be overcome!
This is the charm of a leader!
Just when Mou Xuan had arranged everything and was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Bai the mechanic repairman came running over in a hurry and said anxiously, "Brother Xuan, something bad has happened, the car..." "Brother Xuan, something bad has happened, the car..." Bai the mechanic repairman ran over breathlessly, with beads of sweat on his forehead, as if he had just come out of a sauna, and he could hardly speak clearly.
Mou Xuan frowned, wondering what could possibly go wrong with this car?
Could it be possible that it could grow legs and run away?
He asked angrily, "What happened to the car? Please explain clearly! Is it a flat tire or an engine failure?"
Mechanic technician Bai wiped the sweat off his face and said anxiously, "Brother Xuan, it's not a flat tire, nor is it an engine problem... It's this car and the road, they just don't get along!"
