Doomsday Traveler

Chapter 50 Radio

Lu Xian really felt that he was very lucky.

Sometimes the radio works better without batteries than with them.

You have to know that batteries may leak. If there are batteries installed in the radio and they leak, wouldn't the radio be contaminated and damaged?

Now, regardless of whether the radio is broken or not, at least the possibility of it being damaged by battery leakage has been ruled out.

With the experience of finding the radio, Lu Xian tried knocking on the three sides of the log wall, the ceiling, and the small tile floor.

Nothing came of it.

But he did not feel depressed. It was already great that he could get a radio this time.

You know, Yao Wei’s car doesn’t have a radio.

And if he didn't come, how could he see this cave in the cliff that was dug out in the past world?
It’s nice to see such a new and interesting place.

He put away the radio, went out of the cave, and used the same method as before, using an axe to chisel the cliff wall upwards.

However, going up requires one more movement than going down, and it also requires a lot more strength—

When he went up, he needed to shrink his body and hands, then kick his legs upwards hard, use the momentum to jump up, retract the axe and chop again.

They climbed up like this, and when they reached the top, Yao Wei reached out and helped him.

After living in the doomsday for a long time, Yao Wei's hands were a little rough, just like his.

But even though it is rough, it is also very soft and warm, and it feels very comfortable to touch.

Lu Xian felt that Yao Wei's hands were much hotter than his own, but seeing that Yao Wei looked quite energetic, it didn't seem like she had a fever.

New humans are also not prone to fever.

This woman must have been born like this.

"How's it going? Are you okay?"

After Lu Xian came up, he let go of Yao Wei's hand and asked.

"It's okay, no one's coming."

Yao Wei replied.

She is much better now than at the beginning. If they had just met, Yao Wei would never have said a single word.

For example, in the sentence "It's okay, no one is coming", the meaning can be expressed very clearly with the first two words, and she would never say the last four words.

But now it's different.

After saying these six words, Yao Wei also asked: "How about you? How's it going down there?"

Lu Xian said: "There's not much in there, just a table, a lazy sofa, a kettle and cups. They're all covered in hair and can't be used."

Yao Wei asked curiously, "Beanbag?"

Lu Xian said: "It's that kind of soft sofa with no back support. Sitting on it for a long time is not good for your waist."

"That's it..."

Yao Wei nodded to show that she understood.

Of course, she didn't understand what a lazy sofa looked like, but after hearing Lu Xian say that sitting on it for a long time was bad for the waist, she knew that this thing was useless and lost interest.

Lu Xian took out the radio and said, "There is a fireplace in there. I found the radio on top of the fireplace. It should be what Fang Shuxin hid there before he left for the last time.

"But there's no battery in it, so I haven't tried it yet and don't know if it works."

Yao Wei, like Lu Xian, suddenly remembered something and said, "We have a battery in our car."

Lu Xian smiled: "Yes, I think so too."

The two got in the car. Lu Xian handed the radio to Yao Wei and asked her to tinker with it. He started the car and left.

The mountain road was narrow and he couldn't turn around, so he simply put the car in reverse gear and backed it out.

As an experienced driver, this was not a difficult task for him. He just had to drive a little slower and pay more attention to the rearview mirror.

Yao Wei sat in the passenger seat and found the batteries to install the radio.

Yao Wei carefully removed two new batteries, taking care not to damage the packaging, ensuring the plastic wrap remained tightly wrapped around the other two. This long-standing habit of saving money remained with her. Even when unpacking the batteries, she paid close attention, avoiding any details that might affect future problems.

When Yao Wei was installing the battery, Lu Xian turned around and looked at her twice to make sure that Yao Wei had not installed the battery with the wrong positive and negative poles.

Fortunately, Yao Wei has no lack of knowledge in this area. I wonder if she has come into contact with these things before.

After the battery was installed and the cover was put on, under Lu Xian's guidance, the switch on the top of the radio was pressed, and a "buzzing" sound came from the radio.

——It was the sound of electric current coming out of the speaker.

There's no signal on this radio.

Lu Xian suddenly stopped the car and said, "Fang Shuxin said there is no signal at his home, but there used to be one here. Let's wait here and change the channel, shall we?"

"Ah."

Yao Wei nodded and asked, "How do I adjust it?"

She knew how to install the batteries, but wasn't quite sure how to operate the radio, so she had to ask Lu Xian.

"There's a knob next to the buttons above. Turn it."

While Lu Xian was giving instructions, he asked Yao Wei, "Do you think we should drive the car back to its original position?"

Yao Wei looked out the car window and said, "We haven't gone very far."

"Too."

Lu Xian nodded, then turned off the car and pulled the handbrake.

He and Yao Wei got out of the car together, and he simply took the radio from Yao Wei and operated it himself.

Yao Wei pursed her lips, wanting to do it herself, but she knew that this was serious business, not the time to play.

The expression on her face was fleeting, but Lu Xian noticed it and said, "Let me take a look first, and then I'll play with it for you later."

"I'm not playing..."

Yao Wei grumbled a little dissatisfiedly. She felt that Lu Xian was treating her like a child.

Only her mother had said such words and in such a tone to her when she was a child.

"Okay, okay, I'm not kidding. I'll give it to you later."

Lu Xian perfunctorily turned the knob on the radio.

Yao Wei: “…”

Still the same tone!
Why is this guy a bit annoying?!

But this time, Lu Xian's attention was completely focused on the radio in his hand, and he didn't notice Yao Wei's slightly resentful expression.

He fiddled with the radio knob, sometimes left, sometimes right, sometimes moving forward, sometimes moving backward, or raising it up, lowering it, or even climbing higher with an axe, or jumping back into the cave on the cliff.

Lu Xian tried many times, but the radio always only made the "sizzling" sound of electricity, and there was no other sound.

After trying for a long time, Lu Xian finally gave up: "Forget it, the reconstruction faction may be gone, or no one plays this kind of thing now. Let's go."

"Ah."

Yao Wei had no objection and got in the car with Lu Xian.

Lu Xian threw the radio to Yao Wei and reversed out of the mountain road.

Yao Wei took the thing and tried it herself, imitating Lu Xian's behavior.

Although I know this thing is useless, I still want to give it a try.

——I just try it and then take the battery out.

That’s what she thought in her heart.

If it's one or two, it shouldn't be a waste, right?
But as she was fiddling with it, when she turned the knob, she suddenly discovered that the sound of the electricity had changed.
