Looking at the red glow appearing on the horizon, Li Xiao stretched.
She was supposed to keep watch during the latter half of last night, until dawn.
Another day begins.
Gradually, everyone started to get up, and Tian Tian prepared water for everyone to wash up.
After hearing what Li Xiao said last night, she decided not to clean herself up completely anymore.
Being too clean is a sin in the end times.
Li Xiao simply cleaned herself up; she always felt uncomfortable if she wasn't clean.
Let's just pretend we don't see it on her face and hands. Sweetie did the same when she saw her.
Finally, the two smiled at each other.
Everyone was a little surprised to see the two of them not washing their faces despite having water, but they understood after hearing what Tian Tian said.
Meng Yang kept nodding. In this chaotic situation, not attracting attention was a way to save one's life.
At this time, Li Xiao looked rather sloppy, with oily and tangled hair, almost smelling bad.
Her face was still dark yellow from not washing it, and her bangs were a bit long, covering most of her forehead, so you couldn't see her face clearly.
My lips were already peeling due to the hot, dry weather, so there was no need to hide them.
Actually, Li Xiao felt a little uncomfortable. Seeing herself so dirty and having to endure the sweltering heat without washing her face was unbearable.
But there was nothing she could do. She knew she was pretty, and besides, she always kept herself clean and dressed neatly, so as not to tell others, "Come and rob me!"
To prevent any accidents, she had no choice but to compromise and be a little sloppy to reduce trouble, so she decided to be a little sloppy.
I haven't been in this team for very long, and I don't know if I can get along with everyone. It's good to be cautious.
She just wanted to make it to Beijing safely. The journey was too long, and no one knew what might happen on the way, so she should be careful.
I only need to wash my face every few days, so I don't even need to put on makeup anymore, which reduces people's suspicions. It's the best of both worlds.
She could only cope with the apocalypse in her own way. As long as she could survive, these trivial matters could be ignored. She didn't care what others said; getting to Beijing safely was more important than anything else.
Following Li Xiao's example, Tian Tian didn't clean herself up properly; she just wiped herself down quickly and that was it.
The captain looked at them, seemed to remember something, and then called Meng Yang over.
We discussed with him whether everyone should stop washing, because if they were too clean, it would be obvious that they had plenty of drinking water, leading people to suspect that they possessed water-based abilities.
Water-based abilities aren't exactly powerful, but they're quite sought after these days. With water-based abilities, you won't have to worry about dying of thirst.
Only after thinking about it this way did everyone realize the seriousness of the matter.
Their team isn't very large, and although they have a few superhumans, none of them are particularly strong. If they were to fight someone, they might actually suffer a loss.
The captain is a smart man; he understands the importance of staying hidden.
He then told everyone, and they all felt that it was better to be more stable, so they agreed to do so. Wouldn't it be better to save some water to drink?
Sweetie's water-based superpower limits the amount of water she can release each day. She uses some for washing, and then uses the rest sparingly for cooking and drinking.
In addition, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, with temperatures exceeding 40 degrees Celsius, and even higher on the streets. Therefore, we need to drink more water.
Everyone agreed, except for Chen Yunhua, who kept his head down and secretly pursed his lips.
Everyone else listened to the captain talk about his future plans, hoping everything would go smoothly and that everyone could reach their destination safely.
Only Li Xiao and Tian Tian saw it.
Sweetie happened to be standing next to Li Xiao. When she saw Li Xiao looking in that direction, she followed her gaze and saw Chen Yunhua's face...
No one said anything about what happened last night. Whether the team leader spoke to Aunt Zhang and the others privately is unknown. Even if he didn't, Uncle Li would have told her. Similarly, they would have told him about Chen Yunhua's insubordination.
Even if no one says anything, everyone knows what's going on.
It's hot, so it's best to set off early, rest when the sun is hot at noon, and continue your journey later.
This means you need to find a place to rest on the way.
High temperatures can also affect people's moods. The sun outside is scorching, and the metal of the car is radiating heat. Sitting in the car is like sitting in an oven.
Li Xiao woke up because of the heat; she hadn't slept for long before being woken up by the heat.
I was steaming hot, sweat pouring down my face. I really miss the old refrigerator.
She has a refrigerator, but she can't use it. She has ice cream, but she can't eat it. How sad.
She looked sullen, and Tian Tian thought she was just upset because she woke up from the heat, so she quickly handed her a bottle of water.
Li Xiao took the water with a sorrowful expression, knowing that no one would understand her difficulties, and she could only suffer in silence.
He drank water, staring blankly out the window.
This road used to be a major north-south thoroughfare, bustling with traffic every day, with countless cars stuck in traffic jams.
Why is no one using this road? Is no one heading north? Were they the first group?
How much longer until they reach Beijing? Li Xiao was still lost in thought, her mind blank.
We're almost at the next big city; we've only covered a small portion of the journey.
In this sweltering heat, the journey is truly unbearable.
Li Xiao turned to Meng Yang's back of the head and said, "Brother Meng, it's so hot. It's easy to get heatstroke on the road. We're almost in Z City. How about we stop there for a while? Is it really appropriate to keep driving like this?"
Hearing her say that, Meng Yang began to think. The weather was indeed a problem; it had already reached 40 degrees Celsius, and might even rise further. It was unknown whether this would have any impact on the human body, and leaving early in the morning or late at night was not practical.
