Chapter 40
Cen Xiyang and Han Zhi both wanted to know what was going on, but looking at Sang Wenhao's state, they knew he wouldn't tell them. If they wanted to ask, they had to find Fu Erdie.
But Fu Erdie is busy with work and can't be disturbed now.
The two went to two bathrooms.
After confirming that there was water, they wished they could drown themselves in the toilet and take a bath after not having one for half a year.
While Sang Wenhao and the other two were taking a shower and tidying up, they asked if they could move into the bed that had just been moved back.
The house is currently providing a bath for two new friends, as well as a lamp for Erdie's dining table, so we can't start using the bed box right away.
But it was looking for a new home for itself after all, and it knew itself well enough that it only touched the bed box for a moment and then filled the wall with [√√√√√].
Sang Wenhao finally felt relieved.
In fact, it was good that these two people came. He and Fu Erdie went out to find people. This base needed people to guard it. The two of them were partners, and they had plants to protect them, so they thought they could guard this house.
It was indeed a problem to retain water. Now all the boxes, buckets, bathtubs, and water tanks that could store water had to be filled with water to ensure that even if he and Fu Erdie could not return for a while, they would not be short of water.
Sang Wenhao calculated the speed in his mind. If he wanted to go to City H, which is 1,500 kilometers away, it would take about 15 days to fly.
However, on uncongested roads, you can actually see if there are any electric cars, put the metal bed box on it, let the house charge the electric car, and then use the electric car to travel a distance, which can be a little faster than flying.
While Sang Wenhao was practicing his supernatural powers, he was thinking about how to design the interior of the bed box. It should have a bed, a water outlet, a charging socket, and a place to store sundries.
After receiving the two elders, the space needs to be expanded, so the iron sheets for reinforcement still need to be prepared.
By the way, long-distance flights also require rain protection. I wonder how she will design it.
Fu Erdie, whom Sang Wenhao was thinking about, had already drawn up a preliminary idea.
She needed to turn the bed box into a cable car shape, with a roof over the head and glass on all four sides so that she could see around while being protected from the wind and rain.
As for the dandelion balloon, she initially planned to use rainproof and waterproof cloth to build a ball with a diameter of about three meters.
When it takes off, the dandelion stays in the balloon.
However, the dandelion balloon can reduce the weight of the box truck, but it will face more resistance due to its large area. Even if the speed of the balloon is consistent with the speed of Sang Wenhao's box truck, the dandelions will be much more tired.
Fu Erdie crossed out this plan and decided not to use balloons, but to directly increase the height of the box car, leaving space for the dandelions, allowing the dandelions to gather at the top of the box car and directly exert upward force. As for moving forward, it was all left to Sang Wenhao.
Fu Erdie had already returned most of the few physics knowledge that the teacher had, telling her that when the box truck maintained a constant speed, the objects inside the truck would also maintain this forward speed due to inertia, so the dandelions no longer needed to exert forward force, they only needed to follow the box truck as it moved forward and push up.
But there is another problem. The part of the box car where the house is located, which belongs to the iron bed, is only enough for the lower half. The steel and glass in the upper part are all new. If they are worn, the house cannot go beyond its own range to repair the materials in other places.
In fact, it is the same now on the 16th floor. The house can repair the damage to the walls and windows, and can also treat human injuries. But if the cup is broken, it cannot be glued together, and the most it can do is move the glass fragments by touching the ground.
For the non-living things that do not belong to it, the house can move them appropriately, but it cannot repair them.
Now, if we want the house to take into account the upper and lower parts of the box car, we can either force the iron bed into the shape of a whole box car. If the newly added glass breaks, it will break. There is no other way. Or we can find another carrier that can also support the house, such as the windows that my grandmother has used for more than 20 years. We can splice the two carriers together so that when a part of the house breaks, we can switch to repair it.
Fu Erdie thinks the latter is feasible, but it needs to be verified in practice.
She and Sang Wenhao are going to her grandmother's house again.
But this time, whether she succeeds or not, she will go straight to her grandmother.
In fact, I dealt with the superpower team at noon yesterday, reorganized and tested the flight plan at night, went to my grandmother's house overnight to get a lot of small things, and this morning I was busy picking up Cen Xiyang and moving the iron bed back...
All in all, everything happened in just one day and one night, just over 24 hours, so the efficiency was already very high. But Fu Erdie was still very anxious.
The rural area that my grandmother went to was where she lived when she was a child. Later, she returned to the city and sold the rural house, but it was still one of the few places she was relatively familiar with.
When the signal was briefly restored at the end of June, Fu Erdie saved her grandmother's route from the city center to the countryside.
The entire journey is about 100 kilometers long. At their speed, they can reach the destination in ten hours.
But it is two o'clock in the afternoon now. After dinner, I will arrange the following matters and modify the box truck, and then set off at three o'clock.
Two hours later, we arrived at my grandmother's house, which was already five in the afternoon. We continued to modify the van and traveled overnight, so we could reach the village where my grandmother was going at three in the morning.
However, the place where grandma went was not as conspicuous and targeted as Cen Xiyang's business building. Fu Erdie was not sure whether grandma had arrived at her destination safely after half a year, or if something happened along the way and she went to another place, or if something happened to the destination itself.
Fu Erdie knew nothing, so she could only rush forward and take her chances, hoping that her grandmother was still staying in the countryside.
Fu Erdie took a deep breath and calmed herself down. This matter could not be rushed, and she could not travel at night. She had to travel during the day while looking for various information about the guest and her grandmother.
Today we will take the house to my grandmother's house, then do the modifications, and set off tomorrow during the day.
She also had to think about whether she should go around looking for her grandmother with a loud speaker, and if so, what timing should she choose.
Cen Xiyang and Han Zhi finally finished their shower and walked out with wet hair, looking refreshed.
Granny Zhang already understood the situation and knew that there was an extra young man than the expected girl, so she temporarily added a large pot of stir-fried Chinese cabbage, set the table and asked everyone to come to 16-8 for dinner.
Fu Erdie was also hungry, so she went out and asked the two people who were still drying their hair to come over 16-8.
At the dinner table, Fu Erdie introduced several people to each other and talked about his next plans.
Cen Xiyang suddenly felt that the food didn’t taste good anymore.
She thought she could stay with her sisters for two more days, but she didn't expect time to be so tight.
But there is nothing we can do about it. Grandma is old and has so many old age diseases. She left home in a hurry and didn't know if she had forgotten any medicine. What will happen now that she has finished taking the medicine? The sooner we go out to look for her, the sooner she can be treated by the house and settle down.
And Butterfly’s parents may be waiting for rescue on some flooded hilltop.
Butterfly must be under a lot of pressure and doesn't want to wait even a minute.
"Don't worry, Han Zhi and I will do our best to defend this place! Han Zhi's ability is psychic, and his perception is very sharp. If there are enemies approaching, we will find them early and deal with them early."
"Speaking of this," Fu Erdie asked all the plant cubs to come out and stop hiding and watching the fun, "When I first heard you talk about Han Zhi's ability, I had an idea. Now that I've heard about your ability, this idea has become more feasible."
When everyone was introducing themselves to each other just now, Cen Xiyang said that her ability was space distortion. In addition to directly distorting a piece of space to cause damage, she could also reduce the pressure of that piece of space to zero, and then allow that area to be directly flattened by external pressure.
For example, when fighting zombies, she can inject her superpowers into the zombies' heads through direct contact or indirect contact with weapons, and kill more zombies with as little effort and superpowers as possible.
When they were in the business building, other superpowers thought that Cen Xiyang also had the superpower of strength. After all, she made the zombie's skull flattened, which was similar to the way it was dented.
However, after Han Zhi realized Cen Xiyang's true ability and proposed that the two of them work together, the others realized that Cen Xiyang's ability was special.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Han Zhi's vision sharing can help Cen Xiyang see the enemy's weak points. The ability of space distortion can directly penetrate the weak points and hit the core, instantly causing all the zombie's brain tissue to shift to the distorted vulnerable points, with the brain matter scattered into a ball. There is no need to shoot the head or break the skull, but to kill it directly, which is very worry-free and labor-saving.
With Han Zhi, Cen Xiyang's combat effectiveness doubled.
This is also the reason why those superpowers did not allow Cen Xiyang to leave. The already shaky superpower team would be hit hard by her departure.
On the other hand, Fu Erdie took the two people away. She felt that they were treasures sent by God: "Xiyang, your ability can attack the enemy through indirect contact. If you combine it with the very long branches and roots of the plant cubs, you can achieve long-range attacks."
"And Han Zhi, you can combine your vision with that of the plant cubs. If I'm not mistaken, when you share your vision, your teammates' vision will also be shared with you. It's like you can become a transit station with perspective, combining your vision, the vision of the plants, and Xiyang to form a very broad field of vision that you can choose from."
"You transmit the plant cubs' situation on the front line of the battle to Xiyang synchronously, and become Xiyang's eyes. Xiyang can then output losslessly while drinking tea and humming a little tune in the house. Whether it's the people outside or the zombies with special powers, they have no idea how many people are in the building, or even if there is anyone inside, and will be killed by the plants with space-distorting special powers that jump out."
"You two can hide in the building all the time, it's very safe. As long as the roots of the plants are not damaged, the branches and leaves can grow again, and it won't hurt." Fu Erdie felt a little excited thinking about it, "Our combination is perfect."
Cen Xiyang's heart was beating fast as his friend said, "If this really works, it would be so cool!!!"
Han Zhi finally turned around and looked straight at his partner's friend.
Maybe in the future, he will be a reliable companion?
Don't be in a hurry, take one step at a time.
After dinner, Fu Erdie and his friends took action, filling all the containers with water and charging all the power banks.
The small rechargeable desk lamp is also kept fully charged and can be used for a while when needed at night.
In fact, Cen Xiyang and Han Zhi already think this is good. They have adapted well, but the old lady has been comfortable for so many months, and now she is a little flustered, afraid that she will get used to "being extravagant", turning on the lights when it gets dark, washing her hands when there is a little dust on them, etc.
Zhang Dongxuan reminded the two newcomers, and also reminded herself: "Don't use water when washing your hair. Let the spider plant help. Make delicious food for it afterwards. We should save the water as much as possible."
Although they didn't know what it meant to use spider plants to wash hair, Cen Xiyang and the others simply agreed.
In addition to fetching water, Fu Erdie also has to make other preparations for the long journey.
It is now the end of November, and December is coming. Although the temperature is still over 20 degrees, it is so hot in the end times that it is going to kill people. It is not impossible for the temperature to suddenly take a sharp turn and enter the Snowball Earth period.
Even though they have a house to protect them when they go out, they still can't take hypothermia lightly. After all, their purpose is to find someone, not to live in a boxcar forever.
Food, clothing, housing and transportation. "Clothing" is prepared, "housing" and "transportation" both depend on the box car where the house is, and next you need "food".
Food, she planned to take potatoes with her.
Although the potato is getting bigger and heavier, it never takes root in other places because it is always very active in wanting to move with Fuerdie. Now its roots are twisted into strands, like an octopus with eight legs that can walk on the ground.
Fu Erdie was amazed, even Luluo was a little impressed.
The potato seedlings are now walking at a speed similar to that of an average person taking a slow walk after a meal. When they need to shrink, they will "sit cross-legged" by themselves, wrap their "legs" around their waists, and shrink their lush leaves as much as possible. The potato seedlings, which were originally the size of a washing machine, can shrink themselves to the size of a pillow.
Fu Erdie confirmed again and again: "Are you really not feeling uncomfortable?"
Potato sprouts shook their heads firmly.
So Fu Erdie decided to bring potato sprouts with her this time and rely on the non-toxic raw potatoes to survive along the way.
Fu Erdie went to the storage room of 16-2 to look for various tools that could be used. In addition to the hammer and dagger that she used for fighting, there were also speakers, surveillance, Bluetooth surveillance, walkie-talkies, remote control cars and other miscellaneous equipment that might be used.
After finishing this, she took a pen and paper to count and record everything, printed out two more enlarged copies of the map for the route, and set off.
"If everything goes well, you can come back in three days." Fu Erdie sat in the iron box with potato seedlings and a bunch of dandelions, and flew out to the balcony with Sang Wenhao, "Take care of yourselves."
Cen Xiyang lay on the balcony windowsill and waved at her: "You too. Have a safe trip!"
