Chapter 170 The Current Situation of Others
On the morning of the fourth day in the extreme cold world, the temperature was -20 degrees Celsius, the snow was 10 centimeters thick, and the ice layer was 25 millimeters thick.
Although the weather is getting worse and worse, survival is becoming increasingly difficult.
But because she had found a way to potentially kill large wild animals without going into the water, Li Sijing was in a good mood.
Even so, she did not act immediately, but continued at her own pace.
Despite the cold weather, Li Sijing did not give up her daily morning exercise routine.
After carrying two buckets of water onto the vehicle, she began her exercise routine.
Since it's not snowing now, there's no need for a parasol. To make it easier to move around, she even took off her long cotton-padded coat.
She still spent half an hour exercising, and after a while, her body successfully warmed up.
However, her exposed hands and cheeks were already red from the cold, and her nose was running.
Li Sijing quickly put on a long cotton-padded coat and got into the car. She took out a portable grill from her mustard seed space and grilled for a few minutes before regaining consciousness.
After washing up with hot water, it was almost eight o'clock. She quickly used her hands to scrape off the thick snow from the windshield of the SUV.
Actually, there was already a lot of snow piled up on the car when it snowed yesterday, but since there was a resource point event yesterday and I didn't need to drive, I didn't bother with it.
To continue her journey today, she naturally needed to clear away the snow. After removing the thick layer of snow, she got back in the car, turned on the windshield wipers, and wiped it clean before stopping.
She placed the wet rice harvested yesterday on the oven to dry, and then opened the folding table to heat up the leftover bone broth from last night in the multi-functional pot.
"Starry Sky, drive!" Before the words were even finished, Li Sijing seemed to remember something and quickly added.
"By the way, given the current road conditions, what's the fastest you can drive, while ensuring safety?"
When the car has four seats, the fastest speed is 80 kilometers per hour.
Because the engine acceleration blueprints obtained from Zhou Qinghuan increased the speed by 25%, it became 100 kilometers per hour.
After being upgraded to an off-road vehicle, its speed naturally increased, reaching a maximum of 100 kilometers per hour.
After the engine acceleration diagram was updated, it became 125 kilometers per hour.
Of course, this maximum speed is the speed that only an experienced driver can control on a normal road.
The road she was on before wasn't normal; it was as smooth as glass.
Even when she was in a four-seater car, she only dared to drive Xingkong at a maximum speed of 80 kilometers per hour.
But now, the situation has changed again.
Her car was upgraded, and the smooth road was covered with a thick layer of white snow.
The current road conditions were unlike anything she had ever encountered before, and to be honest, she was quite unsure of what to do.
As a low-level intelligence, Xingkong still possesses basic thinking and analytical abilities, which is why she asked this question.
"The current temperature is too low. Given the slight improvement in vehicle performance, a speed of 100 kilometers per hour is recommended."
"However, the road is covered with snow, which is three inches and three inches thick, which affects driving. The recommended speed is 80 kilometers per hour."
"Radar detected that the snow on the road is showing signs of melting into ice, which will affect driving. The recommended speed is 60 kilometers per hour."
"Radar detected that the car has snow tires, which slightly helps with driving. The recommended speed is 70 kilometers per hour."
"Due to various factors, the maximum speed at which a car can be driven, under the premise of ensuring driving safety, is 70 kilometers per hour."
When Li Sijing first heard Xingkong's words, she was quite pleasantly surprised, thinking that they could speed along!
However, the following words gradually disappointed her, but thankfully the snow tires provided her with some final comfort.
Li Sijing never expected that the thick snowflakes on the highway outside would melt into ice.
The original road, although somewhat like glass, still had some friction, so as long as you drive carefully, you wouldn't always slip.
Ice surfaces that can melt snow and turn into ice are a different story. Just imagine how dangerous it would be for a car to drive on an ice surface where it's easy to slip and fall while walking!
Every winter when it snows, people spread industrial salt on roads to prevent them from freezing.
Driving on smooth ice will likely result in a scene similar to that of bumper cars.
Fortunately, when she learned that this world was a land of extreme cold and natural disasters, she had already anticipated that it would snow.
I also guessed that the road would eventually freeze, so I switched to snow tire blueprints, and now they're finally coming in handy.
"Then drive at a constant speed of 70 kilometers per hour, and be careful," Li Sijing said softly.
At 70 kilometers per hour, although it's a bit slower than the first two days, it should be much faster than other people in the area!
Her car had been upgraded twice, and it also had snow tires and a starry sky tire system, but it still only reached 70 kilometers per hour.
What about the others in the area? Those who can maintain 60 kilometers per hour are probably among the very top tier!
They were already living in freezing cold, lacking food and clothing.
Now that cars are moving slower, there are fewer resource boxes available, making it even harder for ordinary people to survive.
Sure enough, the survival game has begun to exert its power, just like in the last world, constantly increasing the difficulty and squeezing everyone's living space.
Li Sijing sat in the driver's seat. The multi-functional pot had already started to steam, but seeing that it hadn't boiled yet, she quickly turned on the regional channel.
"Ahhh, it's so cold, so cold."
"Help! I woke up this morning with a headache, stuffy nose, and hoarse voice. Do I have a cold?"
"My God, it's so cold outside! As a southerner, I really can't get used to temperatures of minus 20 degrees Celsius!"
"Waaaaah, my hands are so cold they're like steamed buns, and I even scratched them raw. What should I do?"
"I was reluctant to spend the supplies before, so I only exchanged one pound cotton-padded coat for a winter coat. Wearing it in this weather is like not wearing anything at all. It's so cold!"
"Oh dear, I only redeemed a 5-pound cotton quilt. I woke up freezing in the middle of the night last night. What should I do now?"
"Me too, I regret it so much. By the way, could you make me a new, thickest cotton-padded coat?"
"Forget about it. Who has cotton left? It's more practical to wait to get it from the resource box."
"Who has any winter clothing supplies they'd buy at a high price?"
"The snow on the road is so thick today. As a new driver, I'm hesitant to drive. What should I do?"
"Me too, driving in the snow is just too difficult."
"The key issue is that the road and the ice surface are almost one, which makes it impossible for me, with my nearsightedness, to see clearly."
"I have astigmatism. By the way, if anyone has glasses, I'm willing to pay a high price, or even trade them for food."
"I have a cough and runny nose, I've caught a cold, am I doomed?"
"I also caught a cold. I've had a fever ever since I got out of the water yesterday. But I'm really not willing to accept that after struggling to live this long, I'm going to be taken away by a cold?"
"Let's see who in the area has cold medicine. Maybe we can trade some for food."
"If all else fails, we can buy some ginger, boil some ginger soup, and drink it. That should have some effect. It's better than waiting to die."
"Thank you for the suggestion, I'll go and make the acquisition right away."
"Oh no, my car won't start, what should I do?"
"Me too, me too! My car stalled after less than a minute of driving. What happened?"
"The car won't start, the engine is probably frozen and damaged. As for it stalling, it's probably because it wasn't warmed up!"
"What? The engine is frozen and damaged? Does that mean the car can't be driven?"
"In this situation, you can only use the car repair card, so don't hesitate."
"Some kind people on the regional channel shared some precautions for driving in winter. Didn't you check them out?"
"Oh, there's even a strategy guide? Where is it? I'll go check it right away."
