Chapter 398 Finally Touched the Car
The convoy quickly drove out of the mountains.
Upon reaching the plains, the view suddenly opened up, but what came into view was a desolate and lifeless landscape.
The remaining road cracks crisscross like jagged scars, winding into the distance. Occasionally, a few dead trees can be seen, their branches twisted, like hands reaching for the sky in despair.
The sentries were already used to this.
The world has been like this since they were born, and no one finds it surprising.
After downloading the data and maps, Yun Zhao started browsing the forums while he still had a signal.
These past few days.
People from outside the area gradually purchased the equipment, and after authentication, logged into the Sentinel Forum.
Everyone can clearly feel that the download volume of official training posts and some knowledge sharing posts has skyrocketed.
But these kinds of people rarely post; they just remain quiet observers.
The few or one help posts that appeared were all asking common questions.
These types of posts usually have a point value; once an answer is selected, points are awarded, which can be redeemed offline.
The senior sentries were all eager to speak up.
In comparison.
The guide section is very quiet.
The guides were reserved, unlike the carefree sentries, who soon started joking around.
The few dozen or so posts all discussed things related to consultations.
A very official exchange.
Yun Zhao scrolled for a while and then got bored.
"We still have four or five days on the road, why don't you take a nap first?" Xie Tu said to her as he drove.
Yun Zhao shook his head. "I'm not sleepy."
"How about some strawberries?"
Xie Tu gripped the steering wheel, propped himself up on one side, and used one hand to reach for the box behind him and open it.
Inside was a box full of strawberries.
"I tried a few, but they're probably not as sweet as the ones sold in shopping malls," Xie Tu said.
Yun Zhao instantly understood, and looked up at him, "You picked all the strawberries in the yard?"
He chuckled softly, "Well, this trip might take a long time, so it would be a waste not to pick them."
After half a month of his meticulous care, the strawberries, which were originally whitish, turned into a vibrant red.
Fresh fruit should not be kept for long periods of time.
That's why he didn't pick them a few days ago, wanting to wait until they grew a little sweeter, and then he delayed until it was time to leave.
"I've already washed it. You eat it first, and then I'll take it over to the others. The rest will be in the car refrigerator for you to eat on the road."
Yun Zhao didn't know what to say.
"Why didn't you call me when you were picking strawberries?" She actually wanted to experience the fun of picking them herself.
Xie Tu looked ahead at the road and said frankly, "I didn't mention it yesterday because you looked too tired."
He paused for a moment, then said, "We'll plant another batch of watermelons when we get back, and I'll take you to pick some if you want."
Yun Zhao nodded upon imagining the scene. "Okay."
She thought to herself, "If I find my dad, I'll treat him to watermelon."
*
Because it was a joint mission, and the other team had already set off.
They cannot linger on the road for too long; they need to get there as soon as possible to meet up.
So the convoy didn't stop even at lunchtime.
Yun Zhao ate strawberries and took out a bunch of food from his bag for lunch.
Xie Tu had difficulty driving, so she helped him get it ready and then gave it to him.
night.
The convoy arrived at outpost number 30 after dark, rested there for the night, and continued its journey the next day.
We kept traveling without stopping.
Yun Zhaoren waited until now to say, "Can I drive tomorrow?"
The military vehicles were sandwiched in the middle of the convoy, and stopping would delay everyone's journey.
She couldn't say anything halfway through.
But he had promised.
Xie Tu bent down to take the mushrooms off the car, intending to make chicken stew with mushrooms for dinner. Of course, he wouldn't refuse: "Okay, you can drive tomorrow."
Relieved, Yun Zhao went ahead to find his teammates and helped them remove the barrier.

The morning after departure.
Yun Zhao successfully touched the car.
The members of Team Zero sat in the lead armored off-road vehicle, occasionally turning their heads to observe the situation behind them.
"The car's rear has been hit two or three times, why isn't the captain replacing him?"
Tao Haohao said thankfully, "Luckily, our car is durable; it's fine after a few bumps."
Qi Ling, who was perched on the roof of the car, said quietly, "Back in our day, this would have been called a traffic accident—a rear-end collision."
"Quick, quick, Lao Song, step on the gas! We're going to crash again!" Duan Xi noticed the car behind him suddenly accelerating and quickly reported.
Song Liang immediately stepped on the gas to create distance.
React quickly and avoid the danger in time.
Fortunately, they were the lead car, and there were no other vehicles blocking their way.
Why did Yun Zhao suddenly accelerate again?
Tao Haohao: "Is she playing whack-a-mole, making it impossible for us to guess which pedal she'll step on next?"
The rabbit hesitated for a moment, then said against its will, "I think Sister Yun Zhao drove quite well, after all, it was her first time driving... maybe she just mistook the accelerator for the brake..."
Duan Xi's eyes widened. "Wang Jiayu, don't you feel any remorse saying that?"
"Sister Yun Zhao needs more encouragement. We're all teammates, what's wrong with me praising her?!" Rabbit said matter-of-factly.
"Is this how encouragement is given?"
"Otherwise what?"
"We can't just indulge her! We need to point out her problems in time so that Yun Zhao can improve!"
"How could I have been so indulgent? Wasn't it the captain who was the most indulgent?"
The two argued frequently, and everyone was used to it.
rear.
Yun Zhao pursed his lips, gripping the steering wheel tightly with both hands, and explained again about the sudden acceleration: "I have never learned to drive this car."
There is a big difference between small military vehicles and armored off-road vehicles.
She always drove armored vehicles when she was learning to drive.
The full name of the armored vehicle is heavy armored off-road vehicle.
It's a heavy-duty vehicle that has undergone several modifications; the steering wheel, accelerator, and brakes are all heavier than those of ordinary vehicles.
Small military vehicles are too agile.
She wasn't used to it and would accidentally step too hard.
"It's because the accelerator of this car is too sensitive," Yun Zhao explained.
Xie Tu sat in the passenger seat, his eyes fixed on her feet, his face calm: "It's okay, take your time."
Consider it a test of the reaction speed of the teammates in front.
Yun Zhao nodded, not daring to look around, and focused on driving.
At this moment.
Two spiritual entities emerged one after the other.
The little bluebird hopped onto her head, its expression arrogant and haughty.
"Ugh, a bunch of useless sentries. You managed to bump into my car three times."
How can you blame others?
Yun Zhao couldn't help but defend his teammates ahead: "It was my fault for not controlling my strength properly; it was too sudden."
Her teammates had no idea that she and the captain were behind them.
The little bluebird didn't care about any of that: "They're just stupid; they can't even react to that."
Fire Phoenix leaned closer: "That's right! They're stupid!"
"Step on the gas," Xie Tu reminded her.
Perhaps she was traumatized, because she drove slower and slower. If she didn't speed up, it would affect the speed of the reinforcements behind her.
Yun Zhao didn't seem bothered and stepped on the gas, saying, "Okay."
Duan Xi, acting as a scout at the front, immediately noticed the anomaly.
Duan Xi shouted, "Here we go again! Old Song, speed up!"
The little bluebird raised its head and let out a mocking laugh.
Ah, foolish sentry.
