Doomsday Traveler

Chapter 52 Cold Wave Daily
Lu Xian said this as if he tacitly agreed that he and Yao Wei would be together for a long time.

The location of Donghai City on the map is as far away from them as possible. After all, they are still in the north, while on the map, Donghai City is already at the easternmost coastal location.

I really don’t know how anyone could have survived reaching Donghai City after hearing the broadcast. It was extremely cold along the way, unlike now, with alternating hot and cold temperatures.

In extreme weather, transportation is also restricted. If the Donghai New District is an oasis, it's probably an unreachable oasis for the people here...

Yao Wei heard Lu Xian's words, glanced at the mechanical dog, nodded slightly, and said, "Yeah."

She seemed to have tacitly accepted that Lu Xian would walk with her for a long time, and she was not opposed to it.

The dog had turned into a box shape, lying on the passenger seat, at Yao Wei's feet, quietly, as if it had tacitly obeyed all the arrangements.

Compared to Taipei City, Mengxin City is more desolate and spacious.

Lu Xian seemed to have returned to the time further north, with a smooth journey. He only had to worry about whether he could replenish his supplies and basically didn't have to worry about encountering anyone.

The car drove along the broken road for a whole day, passing three gas stations, two of which were "Menghai Petroleum" and one was "Changshengtian Petrochemical".

Menghai Petroleum doesn't look very good. Most of the gas pumps are broken, except for one that is still working. After power is turned on, the oil storage reading is shown on the display screen of the gas pump, but no oil is discharged.

At this time, the oil barrels they got from Xiligolupin came in handy.

After the gasoline in the car ran out, they took out the oil barrels and poured the stored oil into the fuel tank. After driving for a while, they finally stopped at another Changshengtian Petrochemical gas station and filled up both the car and the oil barrels with oil.

There are few rivers in Mengxin City. Lu Xian drove for a whole day without encountering any rivers. Yao Wei looked at the map and found that they still had to walk quite a distance to reach the river.

But night had already fallen, so Lu Xian and Yao Wei used some firewood and stored water on the roadside to make a fire and cook.

After eating, I chose a slightly higher and sheltered hill to stop the car, turned off the engine, covered myself with a quilt and went to sleep.

——The wilderness of Mengxin City is covered with wild grass. The only place to make a fire is on the road. Outside the road, there are only weeds. Making a fire to cook may cause a large fire.

Although this doesn't matter in this doomsday world and won't affect anyone, it is unnecessary after all and may expose their position, so Lu Xian and Yao Wei chose to make a fire on the edge of the road.

The area around was open, so Yao Wei was on guard while Lu Xian was cooking.

After dinner, I went to bed. The night in Mengxin City seemed different from other places. The wind was very strong and was howling outside the car.

Lu Xian and Yao Wei fell asleep under the covers, listening to the whistling of the wind. As they slept, they suddenly felt the wind became much colder. Tucking the covers in tightly seemed to be of no use.

"It seems like the cold wave is coming again..."

Lu Xian said.

"Ah."

Yao Wei has also woken up.

The sky was pitch black, with no stars or moon in the night sky. The two people could not see each other's eyes, but they still looked at each other.

"Is the air conditioner on?"

Lu Xian asked.

Normally, sleeping in a car with the air conditioner on is dangerous.

Sleeping with the air conditioner on requires idling the car, which can cause carbon monoxide poisoning. But now cars use external air conditioners, which solves this problem directly at the root.

On the other hand, there is the problem of oxygen deficiency that may occur if the air conditioner is turned on for a long time in a small and enclosed space.

But Lu Xian had a sense of his strengthened body and was not afraid of this.

The same goes for Yao Wei.

Therefore, external air conditioning is really the best choice for this car.

"Ah."

Yao Wei agreed again.

Lu Xian said: "Dog, turn on the air conditioner."

The dog under Yao Wei's feet immediately moved, changed from a box back into a dog, ran to the back seat of the car, and opened the power jack cover at the back.

Just as Lu Xian was about to turn over to get the air conditioner plug and plug it into the dog's back, Yao Wei said, "I'll do it." She took the lead, lifted the quilt, turned over, touched the air conditioner plug, and plugged it into the dog's back. "Buzz——"

The air conditioner started up and Yao Wei kept staring at the direction of the air conditioner until a warm current appeared in the car. Only then did she feel relieved and crawled back into bed.

After installing the air conditioner in the car, it had only been used once, and that time was only to test the cooling function. So now that Yao Wei had confirmed that the heating function was working properly, she was finally relieved.

"Go to sleep."

Lu Xian said.

"Ah."

Yao Wei agreed, and then her breathing gradually became slow and long.

Lu Xian listened to Yao Wei's breathing as she fell asleep and gradually fell asleep.

The warmth from the air conditioner made me feel lazy and sleep more comfortably. It felt much better than when I was at the Tancunkou shelter in Fengcheng County.

——After all, they were in the shelter at that time and could only cover themselves with several layers of blankets when sleeping.

When he woke up the next day, Lu Xian stretched comfortably and said, "That's great! Did you say that when we were in the shelter, shouldn't we have gone back to the car and slept with the air conditioner on?"

The new human's body was beyond Lu Xian's imagination. If it were in his previous life, he would probably feel uncomfortable if he stayed in such a small space with air conditioning all night, but now he was fine.

I really don’t know what type of new human I am.

However, Lu Xian didn't expect that Yao Wei would give a different opinion this time: "It's better to be in bed."

"..."

Yes, sleeping in this car every day makes my waist unable to stretch, so the bed is indeed comfortable. If you are more resistant to cold and accustomed to severe cold, then finding the bed comfortable is not a problem.

"a."

Lu Xian said.

"Ah."

This time Yao Wei did not refute.

The cold wave has not yet subsided, but fortunately, this severe cold is not accompanied by heavy snow.

This means they can still go on.

Continuing on the road, Lu Xian couldn't help but sigh: "It's great to have air conditioning. When we were in Yubei City before, we had to use a cloth to wipe the car windows when driving in such weather."

"Ah."

Yao Wei nodded in agreement.

When they were returning to the villa at No. 272 ​​Jiangyu Road in Taipei City, they drove in the severe cold. The breath they exhaled formed mist on the car windows due to the exchange of cold and heat, blocking their vision. They could only wipe it off with a rag, over and over again.

But now the car has air conditioning and heating, and the warm air somehow blows to the front windshield, so water mist will not hang on the window.

Very convenient.

After driving for another half day, they arrived at the river. Braving the freezing cold, they got out of the car, chiseled some ice and put it in buckets. After a while, the ice melted in the car, and they had enough water stored.

As for firewood, there is no place to replenish it for the time being.

They chiseled a lot of ice, but unexpectedly, when they chiseled out one of the pieces, Lu Xian and Yao Wei were shocked to find that there was a fish in it.

It seems that the severe cold came too quickly and the water froze too quickly. The fish did not have time to hide in the unfrozen bottom of the water and was directly frozen.

The ice containing the frozen fish was put into the pot and it melted in a short while. What Lu Xian and Yao Wei didn't expect was that when the ice melted into water, the fish in the water actually started swimming again.

　Thanks to Nanshang Beili for the reward.

　　The results are not very good, but I see no problem with the curve, everything is slowly growing, so I will stick to it.

　　Please continue to support us!
