Chapter 105 A World Full of Water
Looking through the car window, Li Sijing was almost stunned by the brand-new, frigid world.
The original desert highway has completely disappeared, replaced by a somewhat transparent, azure-blue road.
This azure blue road surface is about the same width as the previous highway, but most importantly, on both sides of the road…
The road was surrounded by water on both sides, an endless expanse of water, with no trace of the yellowish-brown ground.
Has she been trapped in a world entirely of water?
At this moment, Li Sijing suddenly understood why Xingyao had said it was good when she acquired the underwater breathing skill.
Li Sijing tried to open the car door, and a gust of cold wind blew in, making her shiver as she was still wearing short sleeves.
The sudden change from extreme heat to extreme cold almost made her forget that she should change her clothes.
Eager to explore the new world, Li Sijing didn't want to waste time on this.
He casually picked up the short cotton-padded jacket he had made for himself, put it on, and got off the bus.
Wrapping her cotton-padded coat tighter around herself, Li Sijing put one hand over her eyes and gazed into the distance.
The whole world consisted of a dark sky and a translucent blue highway, with water on both sides.
Her car was like a car that had fallen into a vast ocean, completely isolated and helpless.
The first world was all desert, with no greenery and no water, while the second world was all water. Isn't that too absolute?
Since the environment cannot be changed, the only option is to let her adapt to this strange environment.
Li Sijing first squatted down, touched the road under her feet, and felt the texture under her hands. She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, it's not ice made from water; it must be some kind of special material, with a texture somewhat like glass—cool, smooth, and flat.
It's definitely not as easy to drive on asphalt roads; it's too slippery and prone to skidding. Luckily, she had snow tires.
Then Li Sijing stood up again, took a few steps to the edge of the road, and looked at the part of the road surface that met the water.
The water level is about 0.1 meters lower than the road, which is quite dangerous! I wonder if the tide will come in.
Li Sijing squatted down again, dipped her finger in the water, and was about to put it in her mouth to taste it, but then stopped.
Is it poisonous?
After thinking about it, I opened the regional channel. I figured the answer was already there!
Indeed, quite a few people are already discussing the environmental issues of the new world, and quite a few have tried using roadside water resources.
The final conclusion was that the water was fresh, non-toxic, and should be safe to drink.
Having obtained concrete information about what she wanted to explore, Li Sijing quickly returned to her car; the wind was quite cold.
Looking at the temperature, it had dropped to 10 degrees Celsius. No wonder she was shivering from the cold after standing outside for only a few minutes.
I quickly went to the back shelf and found the clothes I needed.
However, she hadn't showered for four days, and given the previous extreme heat, she already smelled of sweat.
She simply couldn't bring herself to put on the new clothes.
After thinking for a moment, I carried a bucket of water from the roadside, took out the kettle I had found the night before, and started boiling water.
The kettle can be either oil-fired or electric, but Li Sijing ultimately chose to use gasoline, which costs 1 unit of gasoline per hour.
While waiting for the water to boil, Li Sijing took out her weapon, a Tang sword, from behind the driver's seat and began her training for the day.
As she gradually became more proficient in knife skills, and with the techniques she learned from watching other people's videos, she could feel her progress was very obvious.
If she were to encounter that wild boar from the day before yesterday now, she certainly wouldn't be in such a sorry state.
After half an hour of exercise, Li Sijing's body, which had been shivering from the cold, suddenly felt warm.
The hot water was ready, and taking advantage of the momentum, Li Sijing took off her clothes and started taking a shower right there in the cold air.
At first, she didn't feel cold, but after being doused with hot water and blown by a cold wind, she instantly started shivering.
Even though she was shivering from the cold, Li Sijing persevered and thoroughly washed her entire body.
He quickly dried himself off, put on thermal underwear, a sweater, a short cotton-padded jacket, thick socks, and snow boots.
After putting on all the clothes she could, Li Sijing suddenly realized a problem: she didn't have any thick winter trousers.
In the end, I had to put on my old thin pants so I wouldn't have to wander around in thermal underwear.
After taking a shower, Li Sijing brushed her teeth and washed her face, then washed her hair. She carried two buckets of water back to the car before getting in and closing the door.
At this point, it was already eight o'clock, and Li Sijing immediately instructed Xingkong to drive at a speed of 80 miles per hour.
The world is finally no longer hot, and her car can now go faster.
Without a hairdryer, to avoid catching a cold, Li Sijing could only use a towel to dry her hair until it was no longer dripping wet before putting down her slightly sore hands.
I haven't made breakfast yet because I need to take a shower and wash my hair, so I can only eat something quick in the car now.
I set up the folding table, placed the multi-functional pot on it, and then took out four steamed buns from the freezer to steam.
Then I poured the remaining mineral water into the kettle, preparing to make a cup of milk powder.
Then Li Sijing took out the water purifier from the shelf, preparing to purify the two buckets of water she had brought up.
Her bottled water was all gone, but thankfully, in this world made of water, she would never go thirsty.
Although the locals said the water was drinkable, she still planned to purify it for peace of mind.
This water purifier can only be powered by electricity, but fortunately it doesn't consume much power; it only uses 1 kilowatt-hour per day.
On the day of extreme heat, the solar panels that had been exposed to the sun all day should have stored enough electricity for the water purifier if it were only used for that purpose.
I plugged the water purifier in, poured in the water I had brought into the car, and the display screen on the water purifier immediately responded.
[Already added to daily water usage; would you like to purify it for drinking water?]
Li Sijing was pleasantly surprised to learn that this water purifier could also detect the quality of the water source.
The water quality by the roadside was indeed a bit poor, but it was good enough for daily use. After Li Sijing clicked to confirm, the water purifier started working.
This water purifier is quite fast; it can purify almost one liter of water per minute.
Li Sijing spent only five minutes purifying half a bucket of daily water, losing half of it, and finally obtained 5 liters of drinking water.
There's no need to purify the water for daily use. If it's just for drinking, these 5 liters of water should be enough for her to drink for three or four days!
I didn't expect it to be done so quickly. I put away the water purifier, boiled the water in the kettle, and heated up the steamed buns she made.
Pour the boiled water into the thermos that I found earlier. After filling the thermos, there was still a lot of hot water left.
I wonder when I'll get a thermos. It's such a waste that the water I boil with electricity just gets cold because there's nowhere to put it.
She opened the kettle lid, intending to wait until the water wasn't so hot before preparing the formula.
Li Sijing lifted the lid, blew on the hot bun, and then picked up the slightly hot bun and took a big bite.
He spoke in a somewhat muffled voice, "Xingyao, sign in."
