Chapter 173 Plan to Leave (33)
As for when they will leave, this is really a question that needs to be considered.
First, Lan Jin wanted to say, "We have people living here, so we can maintain this state for now. But once we leave, I'm afraid it won't be habitable if we want to come back. Of course, it's not that I don't want to leave, but I just want to make this situation clear. Once we leave, there's almost no turning back."
But what Lan Jin said was correct. Huang Jinghe said, "We've all seen those unoccupied rooms downstairs. They look completely different when people are there and when they are not. Besides, our glass and doors are good. If I leave, I will definitely want to take them down with me. So if we leave our house, it will be almost impossible to come back and live there again."
So you can leave, but if you want to go back after leaving, I'm afraid it won't be possible.
So this trip must be considered carefully.
Lao Gao said: “Let me first state my point of view.
I definitely support leaving. To be honest, it's really unsafe here. No matter how careful we are, we can't hide the fact that we have cars and food. Even if we have superpowers, what's the use? The last thing we lack right now is people with superpowers. I'm afraid that now, we have become the primary target of others.
The four of us have powerful abilities and can hold our own against a handful of people, but what if they all attack us en masse? Even if we could hide in Sister Lan's space, we'd be living in constant fear. None of us are built to endure that, so I suggest we leave."
After saying that, Lao Gao continued, "Another thing, judging from the situation outside, I'm afraid this extreme cold won't end so soon. It should last at least half a year. Even if the troubles I mentioned before don't come, if we continue to live here, I'm afraid new troubles will come. Of course, I'm not saying that we can leave immediately. Before we leave, we must have a plan. After all, the Jing City base is definitely very far away from us."
Lao Gao's opinion is very pertinent, and as for the extreme cold..., no one needs to tell you, everyone knows that it will not end so easily. The temperature is still continuing to drop, and it dropped below minus 51 degrees Celsius yesterday.
But Lanjin still had another question, "Can we handle such low temperatures driving outside?"
She didn't say that, there really were no cars driving outside at the moment, and the market had not been open for a while after the snowstorm. She had indeed driven her car during this period, but she was always driving in fear that the car would be frozen and damaged on the road.
Fortunately, the car was not damaged.
But these two trips were always short distances. It can withstand short distances, but can it withstand long distances?
So, they not only had to consider leaving, but also had to consider whether the car could withstand it. After all, apart from a Hummer, she only had a gasoline-powered RV.
"I have a solar-powered classic car, a Hummer, an energy sedan, an RV, dozens of bicycles, and more than a dozen electric vehicles."
Bicycles and electric scooters are readily available in the supermarket, but the electric scooters need to be charged, so they definitely cannot be used on the road.
Lao Gao said, "I didn't say we were leaving right away, but Sister Lan, you already got a Hummer, why don't you get a few more cars?"
Lan Jin rolled her eyes. "I rented both the Hummer and the RV the day before the toxic fog arrived. I could have put the other cars away, but I didn't lock them, so I don't know how to open them."
"Oh." Lao Gao patted his elder sister vigorously and said, "I can do it, Sister Lan, I can drive."
"I didn't know you at that time. With our relationship then, whether you could open the car lock or not has nothing to do with me." Lan Jin smiled bitterly. So the result is the same. There are only two gasoline-powered cars, and she will use this Hummer for a very long time. Suddenly, Lan Jin felt a little annoyed. Cars, why didn't she get a few more? It would be good to rent a few more. In the final analysis, her foresight was not enough.
"Oh no." Lao Gao still felt bad, but given the current situation, he couldn't find the car even if he wanted to. He asked again, "Have you driven that Energy Car? Is it drivable?"
"No, I see people at the market are all using gasoline-powered cars. I don't dare use a rechargeable car for fear it'll freeze and ruin it. Didn't you make an electric car yourself? Didn't it freeze?"
"The materials are different, so we can't say that." But after Lao Gao finished speaking, he thought for a moment and said, "Forget it. Don't let the car get damaged in such cold weather. It's not like we won't be able to drive it again after the extreme cold is over."
But in fact, they only need to choose a good route and a good day to leave.
Huang Jinghe had been thinking about this problem for a while, so he explained to everyone: "It is almost impossible for us to drive directly from J City to Beijing City. After all, who knows what the conditions are like on the road in between? What if there is any danger? Also, didn't we say that we should get more supplies?
So I thought we could stay temporarily at a nearby base along the way.
For example, the closest base to us is J City Base. On the way from home to J City Base, we don't need to rush. Instead, we can search for supplies along the way, driving slowly and slowly. After finding supplies along the way, we can stay there and rest well, then ask for directions to the next base. We can also take the next route in the same way, searching for supplies and having a place to rest. Isn't this killing two birds with one stone?"
"Your idea is good, but you're taking it for granted." Lao Gao thought Huang Jinghe's idea was a good one, but would it really go that smoothly? Would the base accept them and only let them stay for a few days? "We have quite a few people. Going into the base would cost so much money. It would be better to spend it directly at the base in Beijing."
Huang Jinghe explained, "We go to the base to rest and to find out about the situation and route to the next base. If we're really worried about wasting food, we don't need to all stay outside. Sister Lan has a space, so the extra people can stay in there. We can find someone to accompany Sister Lan, preferably someone who knows how to find out. As long as we're inside the base, there shouldn't be any danger. So even if Sister Lan stays outside, there's no need to worry about safety, and we can save on food."
But Huang Jinghe actually didn't agree with this, "But if you ask me, it's best for the four of us to go in together."
Ling Jiang is strong in combat but not as smooth as Lao Gao. Lao Gao can handle any field with ease, but when he really enters the base, he is not as well-connected as Huang Jinghe. After all, a large and iconic base like this must be organized by the people above. So if you really think about it, the four of them all have their own advantages. Besides, they are not without supplies, so there is no need to save so much.
