Chapter 100
Departure
Three days passed quietly as everyone waited.
The snow layer has become much thinner, and the temperature is only about minus 22 or 23 degrees Celsius.
At this moment, the outside world seemed to be trapped in ice and snow, whether it was the ground, the houses, the cars on both sides of the road, or the billboards.
Everything, whether it was a mountain or frozen trees, was revealed.
All of them are covered with a thick layer of white ice, reflecting the cold light.
"Xinxin, Xinxin."
Grandpa Li's voice came from the intercom.
Fang Xin picked up the intercom and pressed the talk button, "Yes."
"Can you see if the road outside is passable?"
"I'll go and take a look."
Fang Xin put down the walkie-talkie, put on a thin cotton coat, and walked out.
Now that the temperature has risen, you don’t need to wear too thick clothes anymore, but it’s still very cold, and you can’t wear too little either, as catching a cold is very painful.
Fang Xin stood outside, the cold wind hitting his face felt like a knife, scratching his face painfully.
The snow on the ground had thinned a lot, now about calf-deep, and had become extremely hard.
Fang Xin tried hard to press it, but it didn't move at all.
This thickness is acceptable. If it is thinner, it will be difficult to walk when a flood breaks out and we will be trapped.
Fang Xin quickly returned to the house and pressed the intercom, "Get ready to go."
Fang Xin changed into a set of light clothes, put on a mountaineering bag, held a sniper in one hand and a submachine gun in the other, and went out.
He waved his hand and put the house into the space, and also put away the snowmobile that had been driven back long ago.
There was nothing left outside; she had put everything away long ago.
Fang Xin led the dog and quickly came to the second elder's house and walked into the house.
"Are you ready?"
"It's almost time. There are still ten minutes left and Xiao Kai hasn't come yet."
"Okay, then wait for him to come."
After a while, Xiao Kai came jogging over with a big bag on his back.
At this time, the two elders had packed up their things. Seeing Xiao Kai coming over, Grandpa Li said, "You can go now."
Fang Xin nodded, "Have you put on your anti-D clothing?"
"I am wearing it."
The three nodded.
"Safety is the most important thing when you go out, and anti-D clothing should be worn all day long."
The last time I worked with Yu Keke, I received several anti-D vests from the large amount of supplies I donated, and everyone can get one.
Fang Xin even made a new one for the dog and wore it on his body.
The little head is wearing a small hat made of a D-proof jacket.
Absolute protection is in place.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely wear it all day."
"Let's go, then."
The two elders took one last look inside the house, their eyes showing reluctance to leave. To be honest, they had already developed feelings for living here.
I have to move to another place again, and I feel inexplicably heavy.
They don't know when they can settle down and live a stable life.
Fang Xin raised his legs and stepped into the high driving position.
Put the big backpack and two guns in the back.
The dog jumped into the car nimbly and went into the rest area at the back.
Fang Xin modified the back of the two seats and added a very narrow berth for people to rest.
This way, when you get tired of driving, you will have a place to rest.
Xiao Kai sat in the passenger seat and fastened his seat belt.
He can drive a snowmobile, but not a big truck like this, so he needs to learn.
The two elders entered the container.
A small area is provided at the rear of the container for people to rest.
The supplies inside the car were separated by several quilts.
Quilts also have a certain effect of insulating and keeping out the cold.
There is a thick Simmons mattress underneath, with a mattress on top. Under the mattress is an electric blanket, and next to it is a battery box that supplies power to the electric blanket.
The two of them were wrapped in thick quilts, with an electric blanket under them and a small electric heater next to them for warmth, so they were not cold at all.
There were no frozen goods in the car. Grandma Li had processed all the frozen vegetables and meat and turned them into dishes and jerky in the past few days.
Fang Xin pressed the intercom and asked the two elders in the carriage, "Are you ready?"
"Okay, we can go now." Grandpa Li replied.
The three walkie-talkies were charged early on, and there were also a few battery storage boxes, so even if one was at the front and the other at the back of the car, we could still communicate well.
Fang Xin started the car, lifted the handbrake, and stepped on the accelerator.
departure.
Fang Xin opened the offline map while driving.
She downloaded this map before the end of the world.
Fang Xin clicked directly on the location of City A, and a winding highway appeared on the map.
Fang Xin started driving along the route indicated on the map.
The car was very heavy and made a crackling sound as it rolled over the icy road.
The car's large tires rolled over the hard road, and the ice surface shattered.
The tires are tied with dense anti-skid chains, which have strong grip and there is no need to worry about the car slipping.
The car slowly drove out of the quiet and remote villa area.
We slowly got onto the main road, passing through City S and heading northeast towards City A.
The survivors on the road ran outside, knelt on the cold ground, and cried bitterly.
But his face was filled with joy, and he excitedly celebrated the rise in temperature.
The survivor took off his heavy clothes, revealing his big head and thin neck. He was really afraid that the thin neck would not be able to bear the weight of the head and would fall off.
Many survivors saw the huge truck and the tall and long container behind it, and they stepped forward and waved their arms to try to stop the vehicle.
The body has formed muscle memory and will rush forward to grab everything.
"Be careful, there is someone in front." Xiao Kai reminded.
Fang Xin knew that such a large truck would definitely attract the attention of others, but there was nothing he could do.
Not to mention driving a truck, even if you ride a broken tricycle, people will still be interested in you.
No matter what car you drive, troubles will never stop.
Fang Xin was not used to it, so he stepped on the accelerator, and the car instantly accelerated, ready to break through.
The survivors saw that the car had no intention of stopping and was even speeding up, so they hurriedly dodged to the sides. Being run over by such a big truck is no joke. If they are not crushed into a meat pie, they will be half-crippled.
The survivor stamped his feet and cursed angrily.
"Fuck you, you're all going to die a miserable death. You're going to be hit by a car sooner or later."
The two elders also saw this situation at the back. There was an observation hole in the back door of the container, which allowed them to observe the outside very well so that they would not be completely in the dark and unable to see anything.
When Grandpa Li saw the man cursing, he picked up his sniper rifle and pulled the trigger with an expressionless face.
"Bang!"
It hit the person's feet, splashing up pieces of ice.
The survivors heard the gunshots and were stunned for a moment.
"Hualala." The survivors scattered like birds and beasts, not daring to get any closer.
One punch is enough to prevent a hundred blows from coming. This is the truth he understood after living in the apocalypse for three years. When necessary, he must show his sharp edge to shock a group of monsters and demons.
