Doomsday Traveler

Chapter 234 Egg Fried Rice

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The sound came from ahead. Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei looked through the windshield and saw that not far ahead, a large mudslide suddenly occurred on the mountain, mixed with grass, trees, soil and rocks, and it was as mighty as a mountain torrent.

Landslide?!
"Attention, a landslide has occurred ahead and is spreading. Please leave this section of the road as soon as possible."

The RV's speakers emitted a synthesized electronic voice prompt, like that of a mechanical dog.

"I could tell without you saying it!"

Lu Xi'an watched the mudslide spreading outwards little by little, and without a moment's hesitation, she made up her mind.

"Yao Wei, lift the car and turn it around!"

He quickly spoke to Yao Wei, then opened the car door and jumped out.

Upon hearing Lu Xi'an's words, Yao Wei opened the door and got out of the car without saying a word.

The mountain road is narrow, and at this time, turning around by maneuvering the steering wheel and shifting gears is not as fast as they can do it manually.

Thanks to the fact that both of them are Type A new humans, and after being nurtured by the fungal stone for a long time, and after exercising according to the booklet day after day, their physical qualities have made great progress.

Otherwise, facing this RV, which weighs far more than Yao Wei's car, she would probably be helpless.

The two worked together seamlessly. After getting out of the car, one quickly moved forward while the other moved backward, each lifting the car from the front and back. They then moved swiftly to turn the car around and put it down again.

"Rumble, rumble—"

The landslide has spread further outwards.

After getting out of the car, the two didn't dare to pause for a moment. They quickly got back in, shifted gears, stepped on the gas, and sped away before the landslide could catch up with them.

The muddy, bumpy road could no longer stop the RV's speed; the tires spun rapidly, sometimes touching the ground and sometimes flying up, almost lifting the resonance gene scanner in the rear garage off its feet.

Yao Wei had to scramble from the middle to the back, hug the laptop to her chest, and press down on the resonance gene scanner on the table to prevent these two most precious items from falling and breaking.

The RV sped along, the vibrations chasing after it from behind. Lu Xi'an slammed on the gas pedal while looking back in the rearview mirror and saw that the mudslide had submerged a large part of the road, blocking the way and continuing to widen.

Fortunately, as they sped along, the widening of the "river" behind them gradually slowed down and then came to a standstill.

They finally escaped the landslide. The mechanical dog even made a report saying that there were several creatures that had been washed away and killed in the mudslide that swept the road downstream.

Lu Xi'an guessed that those creatures were probably animals. If they were killed by the storm, it would save people the trouble of hunting them. They could just pick them up and cook them for food.

But Lu Xi'an didn't dare to stop the car.

It was still raining outside. After the rumbling sound of the landslide stopped, the sound of the raindrops dripping on the roof of the car became amplified.

Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei were unsure whether the rain would trigger a second landslide, and they felt it would be very unsafe for the car to continue driving at the foot of the mountain.

It's not worth risking your car by picking up a few animal carcasses.

Therefore, they would rather not have this little bit of meat.

After driving the car off the mountain road and away from Qinshan, the two finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Xi'an stopped the car, glanced at it in the rearview mirror, and still felt a little shaken.

The mudslide that had come down from the mountain had already created a large, gentle slope on the road, which he could see from here. If the car got submerged, it wouldn't be easy for them to dig it out.

"Fortunately, we are all Type A new humans."

Lu Xian sighed.

Yao Wei, who was in the garage behind, nodded and said "Mm" in agreement.

She was a little worried, so she opened the refrigerator to take a look.

Seeing this, Lu Xi'an asked, "How is it?" There were eggs in the refrigerator. You were driving so fast and the road was so bumpy, the car felt like it was flying. I wonder how many eggs are still alive?

He had prepared for the worst, but to his surprise, Yao Wei replied, "A few are broken, but most are fine."

“You’re okay?!”

Lu Xi'an was quite surprised.

"Ah."

Yao Wei said, "The frame that the old tree made is very good. It holds most of the eggs in place, and only a few have fallen out."

As she spoke, she took out all the shelves and cleaned them with a rag.

Lu Xi'an glanced in the rearview mirror and saw that the broken eggs were still fixed on the shelf. Most of them were only half broken, with some egg liquid spilled out and some still inside the shell.

He immediately said, "Just clean up the spilled egg liquid, and then we'll find a place to park the car and cook those broken eggs."

"Ah."

Yao Wei responded again, then asked, "Fried rice with egg?"

Yao Wei couldn't forget this dish that Lu Xi'an had mentioned many times—no matter what, she felt that anything Lu Xi'an mentioned so many times must be delicious.

"Okay, fried rice with egg."

Lu Xi'an glanced at Yao Wei in the rearview mirror and immediately agreed.

He originally only wanted to make a lazy person's meal, thinking that he would cook the rice, cover it with dehydrated vegetables and sausage, pour in the beaten egg and some soy sauce in the middle, and it would be a delicious dish after cooking. But he didn't expect Yao Wei to suddenly bring up fried rice.

But since Yao Wei has already said she wants fried rice, why not just grant her wish?

It's just one more step, cooking the rice first and then frying it, it's not a big deal.

After responding, Lu Xi'an glanced at Yao Wei in the rearview mirror and smiled again when he saw the hint of joy and anticipation in Yao Wei's eyes.

What's one extra step if it makes Yao Wei happy? Driving back the way he came, Lu Xi'an turned the car west at the intersection, drove off the road to the west side of the gas station, and parked the car.

He used the abandoned, oil-free gas station to block the view of Tunshan Village, then turned off the car and jumped from the middle into the back garage.

"How to do?"

"Yao Wei asked. Her face remained calm, showing little expectation, but Lu Xi'an, having spent a long time with her, knew how reserved she was.

This woman must be incredibly excited right now.

Lu Xi'an knew very well.

"Let's cook the rice first."

As Lu Xi'an spoke, he took out Yao Wei's cooking pot and poured the rice into it.

They had been eating the bag of rice from before, and it was finally empty. They poured it all out, and Yao Wei folded the empty bag and stuffed it into a corner, thinking about what it might be used for in the future.

Lu Xi'an then filled the pot with water and started cooking rice.

There was more than one induction cooker. After waiting for a while, Lu Xi'an felt that the rice was almost cooked, so he started to cook the other dishes.

He then took out Yao Wei's bowl and chopsticks, picked up the broken eggs one by one, cracked the egg liquid into the bowl, used the chopsticks to pick out the eggshells that inevitably slipped into the bowl, and began to stir quickly.

At this moment, Yao Wei watched quietly from the side. She saw that the egg white and yolk were mixed together under the stirring of the chopsticks, and the thick egg liquid was rolled into a vortex. It looked delicious.

Judging from Lu Xi'an's expression, this is only the beginning. I wonder how delicious it will be when it's finally done?
Lu Xi'an placed the wok on the induction cooker, turned it on, heated the wok, added oil, and waited a moment before pouring the egg mixture from Yao Wei's bowl into it.

"Zi-"

The eggs tumbled, solidified, and expanded, then Lu Xi'an used chopsticks to stir-fry and break them up, quickly turning them into irregular pieces of scrambled eggs.

Fluffy and soft, with a pale yellow hue, it looks delicious and makes your mouth water.

Lu Xi'an scooped out all the scrambled eggs, turned to look at Yao Wei, picked up a piece with his chopsticks, and fed it to Yao Wei, saying, "Here, try it."

Yao Wei opened her mouth and let Lu Xi'an put the chopsticks in. Only after she bit down did Lu Xi'an pull the chopsticks out.

The soft, fluffy egg, with a slight elasticity when bitten, releases a delicate egg aroma mixed with oil as you chew, quickly permeating your tongue and even your entire mouth, spreading throughout your mouth.

"Is it delicious?"

Lu Xian asked.

"Ah."

Yao Wei nodded. The egg had already been swallowed, but the lingering fragrance in her mouth made her savor the taste.

"Try it too."

Seeing that Lu Xi'an hadn't touched his chopsticks, she said, "Good food shouldn't be eaten alone. I like Lu Xi'an to eat with me."

But Lu Xi'an just shook her head and said, "I'll stir-fry it into rice later."

Yao Wei frowned, snatched the chopsticks from Lu Xi'an's hand, and then swiftly picked up a piece of egg, held it to Lu Xi'an's mouth, staring intently at him without saying a word.

Helpless, Lu Xi'an had no choice but to open his mouth and let Yao Wei bring in the eggs.

"Is it delicious?"

Yao Wei asked.

"good to eat."

Lu Xi'an smiled helplessly and said, "How could it not taste good if you fed it to me?"

Eggs are delicious, of course. In the past, when making fried rice, he liked to fry an extra egg and then eat a few bites of it before adding it to the rice and stir-frying.

Light and delicate, it has a unique and delicious flavor.

But now that Yao Wei is feeding me, it feels completely different.

Eggs are delicious as they are.

Yao Wei said.

Lu Xi'an laughed and said, "Yes, but it tastes better when you feed it to me."

Yao Wei: “…”

She didn't know what to say again.

After a while, the rice was cooked, so Lu Xi'an heated oil in a wok, added the rice and stir-fried it, then poured in the scrambled eggs and continued stir-frying before adding seasonings.

Without scallions, ginger, and garlic, he had to skip this step, but after cooking it, it didn't taste much different.

The rice was served, and Yao Wei was given a full bowl, while Lu Xi'an ate it directly from the pot.

There was still a lot left in the pot, and Yao Wei quickly finished what was in her bowl. Then she started eyeing what was in Lu Xi'an's pot. Lu Xi'an laughed and said, "Why don't you just leave your bowl behind and eat from the pot with us?"

"Ah."

Yao Wei agreed and sat down with Lu Xi'an by the pot. They ate fried rice together, taking turns and enjoying it immensely.

"Crackling——"

The roof of the car continued to be pattered by the light rain, so light it was like flirting.

Listening to the sound of rain, Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei felt much more comfortable during their meal.
