Doomsday Traveler

Chapter 44: New Human Thinking
It seemed that what Luo Ping said was true. Lu Xian and Yao Wei traveled together all the way after that, and they didn't encounter anything again after leaving Fengcheng County.

The road in the second half of Fengcheng County becomes increasingly difficult to walk on, winding and sometimes going up and down, like a winding mountain road.

Moreover, this road has been in disrepair for a long time and is far more dangerous than other places. Lu Xian had to slow down and be careful.

"Did we choose the wrong road? What if we encounter a collapsed section or a rockfall?"

As he drove around a sharp bend, he couldn't help but feel doubtful.

In the past, if it were this winding road on the cliff, you would have to look at the convex mirror at the corner to confirm whether there were any cars coming from the opposite direction.

The convex mirror is still there, but the surface is blurry and nothing can be seen clearly.

Fortunately, in today's world, there should be few cars going to such places, so they basically won't encounter oncoming cars. If they drive slowly, it will be relatively safe.

Unfortunately, they had encountered a fork in the road before, and they chose this road because they wanted to go west. I wonder if Luo Ping, who was walking in front of them, turned into the fork in the road?
If Luo Ping had not turned and had taken the same route as them, then that would have proved that the road ahead was clear and there were no problems.

After all, Luo Ping originally came from the southwest, so maybe he had taken the same route when he came here.

"When something collapses, just plug it up. When something falls, just move the rocks away."

Yao Wei provided a brand new solution.

Only then did Lu Xian react.

Yes, I am a new human being now, how can I be stumped by such a small matter?
He reflected deeply on himself and found that he still had not adapted to the new human's way of thinking and acting.

You have the ability to build bridges when you encounter them and to tear down walls when you encounter them. You shouldn't worry about these simple problems.

It seems that Yao Wei already has experience in dealing with this kind of things.

"If the collapse can't be blocked, we can still lift the car over."

Yao Wei added another sentence.

Lu Xian: "..."

It was true that they could indeed lift the car, but when Lu Xian imagined the scene of himself and Yao Wei carrying a large off-road vehicle loaded with cargo, he felt it was very inconsistent.

Fortunately, there was no collapsed road ahead, only falling rocks.

After they had been walking on the mountain road for about an hour, they saw that the road ahead was completely blocked by rocks that had fallen from the mountain at some point in time.

Those stones are big and small. The small ones are fine, but the big ones are not easy to lift by human power.

Fortunately, Lu Xian and Yao Wei were not ordinary people. They first had the robot dog send a drone to investigate. After confirming that this was a purely natural environment, not man-made, and that there were no people around, they got out of the car.

The two of them cleared away all the small and big stones from the outside to the inside, picked them up and threw them off the cliff. In a short while, the road was cleared.

They used the shovel in the car to push aside the gravel on the ground and made sure that there would be no sharp objects that would cut the tires before getting in the car and continuing on their journey.

"Fortunately, we are new humans."

How did Lu Xian talk to Yao Wei with a smile.

Yao Wei nodded and said, "Yeah."

After that, we went down all the way and it seemed that the winding mountain road was finally coming to an end.

Yao Wei opened the map and said, "Ahead is Mengxin City. It's all grassland, with no shelter. We need to be careful."

"okay."

Lu Xian was driving and looking around. The world after coming down the mountain was vast and the sky was high. The clouds above the sky were also in large patches. They looked extremely high, giving people a feeling of extreme vastness.

He turned his head to look out the window to his left. The hills in the distance were as dark as ink, with dark clouds covering their tops. But on his side, the sky seemed clear and bright. He never imagined that this blue sky would intersect with dark clouds.

Looking to the right, the black clouds there were connected into one piece, and the scenery under the clouds made Lu Xian's impression of the phrase "mountains like eyebrows" suddenly become more concrete.

This "eyebrow liner" is no ordinary "eyebrow liner." A woman with this liner must have a pair of bold, bold, and bold eyebrows that exude a heroic spirit. "Mengxin City... this name is truly appropriate..."

Lu Xian muttered to himself.

No wonder Yao Wei said, "This is not the south yet." You shouldn't see such scenery in the real south.

I used to walk on my own two legs, but that was too slow.

"what?"

Yao Wei asked.

"nothing."

Lu Xian couldn't explain his impression from his previous life, so he could only say, "I just inexplicably feel that this place is so fittingly named. Mountains like this, grass like this, and sky like this, it seems like it should be called this way."

"Ah."

Yao Wei didn't think Lu Xian's answer was inexplicable and perfunctory. She nodded and continued to look at the map.

She pointed her slender finger at the map and said, "There's a gas station a little way ahead. Let's go over and take a look."

"it is good."

Lu Xian agreed and continued driving.

The unmaintained road was cracked into pieces, and the tenacious weeds spread from the grass on the roadside to the road, also forming pieces.

The difference between the grass on the road and the grass outside the road is that the grass on the road is lower, while the grass outside the road grows very tall.

There was still moisture on the grass, and there were one or two places on the road where the ice and snow had not melted because the bulges blocked the sunlight. It seemed that this place had just experienced a severe cold weather, and Lu Xian and Yao Wei just missed it.

Lu Xian suddenly remembered what Luo Ping said.

These plants grow tenaciously in an ever-changing world. I wonder how they survive round after round of ice and fire?
This is indeed worth studying.

If we can understand the reason, maybe we can grow crops in this harsh environment of this world?
Finally, a gas station appeared in front of him. The sign of the gas station was still intact, allowing Lu Xian to read it clearly: "Changshengtian Petrochemical Gas Station..."

After he finished reading, he couldn't help but say, "This must be a local gas station in Mengxin."

"why?"

Yao Wei didn't understand.

Lu Xian explained: "I'm just guessing. I feel that the word 'Changshengtian' is local to Mengxin. Maybe it's a deity in the local ethnic beliefs?"

"That's it."

Yao Wei admired Lu Xian very much and felt that Lu Xian knew a lot.

——Although it’s useless.

When we got close to the gas station, as usual, we let Gouzi control the drone to conduct reconnaissance. After confirming that there was no problem, we connected the circuit and refueled.

Luckily, one of the four gas pumps was still working, so the two men filled up their car with gas, then filled their newly acquired gas cans with gasoline and put them back in the car.

You know what, it's quite good to have a lot of things in the car. The oil barrel is stuffed in there and it can't move left or right or shake, which makes it safer.

There is also a two-story building next to the gas station. It is a separate courtyard built by someone in the old world. The doors and windows have been removed, and the yard is overgrown with weeds. It seems that no one has visited it for a long time.

When Lu Xian asked Gou Zi to check the gas station, he also checked the small building to make sure there was no danger.

While Yao Wei was refueling the car, he went into the gas station to take a look, but found nothing, so he decided to explore the small building.
