Doomsday Traveler

Chapter 7 Open Eyes and Close Eyes
Lu Xian and Yao Wei looked around the outside of the station together, and then sent the mechanical dog into the station.

When the mechanical dog's eyes lit up, it was completely confirmed that the gas station was no longer dangerous, just as before.

This is an investigation that must be done every time you arrive at a place. To be honest, Lu Xian was not as cautious as Yao Wei before. He would only take a close look when he first set foot in a new place, and then he would relax.

But he thought there was nothing wrong with Yao Wei's approach. After all, safety is of paramount importance, so he followed suit.

To be honest, he learned a lot from this woman.

Afterwards, Yao Wei took out the device that could energize the circuit from her backpack on the bus and walked towards the electrical box outside the platform.

Lu Xian noticed that Yao Wei frowned as she looked at the square device in her hand, as if she was a little hesitant and distressed.

"what happened?"

he asks.

"The battery is almost out."

Yao Wei said.

After hearing these four words, Lu Xian understood that the thing should be a power bank or something like that. There was not much power left in it, and it was afraid that it would not be usable after a few more uses.

——Maybe even once.

No wonder Yao Wei felt distressed.

Speaking of which, the battery technology in this world is quite advanced. Look at the dog, and then look at the power bank in Yao Wei's hand. There were no such awesome things in the previous life.

However, Lu Xian felt that the energy technology in the dog was not an ordinary battery.

What kind of battery can keep this dog active for such a long time, walking, scanning, and with shining eyes, and also provide power to the villa?

He suspected that there was either an Ark Reactor or something similar inside the dog's body.

He was very curious about this. If he had the skills to do so and was afraid that he couldn't put the dog back together after taking it apart, he would definitely take it apart and have a look.

"Put it away for later."

Lu Xian and Yao Wei said, then turned to look at the mechanical dog that had just run out of the station building, "Dog, you come here."

Yao Wei was a little stunned and looked down at the tiny dog ​​lying on the ground.

The mechanical dog's eyes lit up, and then it shone towards the electrical box hanging on the outer wall of the station building. This was the process of scanning the electrical box circuit.

Lu Xian instructed: "Just connect the circuit of the fuel dispenser."

The mechanical dog quickly found the circuit, opened square holes on both sides of its body, and black wires with interfaces shot out and went straight into the electrical box.

After the light entered the electrical box, the light in the dog's eyes dimmed, and the whole dog was pulled up by the black line, just like before in the villa, standing with its back to the wall, motionless.

But when I was at the villa, it was attached to the wall. But the electrical box on the outside of this station building was protruding outward, so the dog was hanging on it, its body hanging in the air, swaying, and it didn't stay still for a moment.

"Om-"

The light at the gas pump came on.

Yao Wei looked back and her eyes widened at the mechanical dog.

"sharp."

She sighed.

This was the third time Lu Xian heard the emotional fluctuations in her voice.

The first time was when he muttered to himself, "Proctologist," and the second time was when he said, "What a pity," because proctologists can't eat.

Three mood swings, all because of dogs.

"Consider it a way of paying you back in advance for lending me your wrench and screwdriver."

Lu Xian said.

But Yao Wei still said, "Thank you."

She still adhered to the attitude of saving energy and being thrifty. She quickly went to the car, operated the gas pump, opened the fuel tank, and refueled the car.

After the tank was completely filled, she and Lu Xian said, "Okay."

Lu Xian asked the dog to come down.

Gouzi retracted the black line, and it fell to the ground with a "clack", and staggered to Lu Xian's side. Yao Wei's eyes were on Gouzi from beginning to end, and she looked very curious.

It wasn't until Lu Xian picked up the mechanical dog that she said, "Let's go."

They both got in the car and slammed the door shut. Yao Wei started the car and continued driving west.

The moon was past its zenith at this time, and it was probably past midnight.

However, Lu Xian and Yao Wei did not have a clock or anything like that. There was a time display in the car, but it was no longer accurate, so the two of them did not know the exact time.

A long way from the gas station, a hill appeared in front of them, and Yao Wei drove into the hill.

When they reached a place where the forest gradually grew thicker, she said, "Let's go."

Lu Xian turned his head and saw Yao Wei opened the car door and got out, then he followed her.

He and Yao Wei explored the surrounding environment together, found a road that was suitable for hiding and where they could drive the car, and then got back into the car.

"Actually, this job can be left to the dog."

Lu Xian said this after getting in the car.

Yao Wei drove towards the chosen destination and said, "I can't keep bothering you."

Eight characters.

“You’re welcome.”

Lu Xian smiled and said something casually, and said no more.

After Yao Wei drove the car to the destination, she stopped, turned off the lights and the engine, and asked Lu Xian to get out of the car together. She cleaned up the traces left by the wheels on the way here, and then returned to the car.

This woman must have been used to this kind of thing, and she handled the ruts skillfully and efficiently. Lu Xian had learned another skill.

After returning to the car, Yao Wei reclined the seat, untied her leather jacket from her waist, covered herself with it, and said, "Go to sleep."

Lu Xian followed suit and folded down the passenger seat.

He closed his eyes, holding the submachine gun in his arms, and waited for a moment, deliberately letting his breathing slow down, as if he had fallen asleep. Then he listened carefully for a while, and when he didn't hear any movement around him, he felt slightly relieved.

Yao Wei, standing next to her, finally opened her eyes. Her nerves were still tense, and under her leather jacket, she still held the gun.

She didn't turn her head, but just glanced to the side with the corner of her eye, and then she closed her eyes again as if relieved.

After a while, Lu Xian turned over and lay on his side, smacking his lips, still holding the submachine gun in his arms.

After waiting for a moment, he opened his eyes a little and secretly looked at the driver's seat.

Still no movement, good.

Then close your eyes again.

After waiting for a while, Yao Wei moved slightly, opened her eyes slightly, and glanced to the side again.

Then, her hand holding the gun under her leather jacket relaxed a little.

At this point, both of them were convinced that no matter whether the other person in the car was asleep or not, at least he had no intention of killing them.

This way, they can truly sleep peacefully.

When they slept, the dog turned into a box and lay quietly at Lu Xian's feet.

Among the two people and the dog, it was the one that rested most peacefully.

Just like this, the night passed. The next day, when the sky was getting light and the morning sun was shining through the forest, there seemed to be a sound suddenly.

The two people in the car suddenly woke up and looked in the direction of the sound. They saw a wild boar not far from the car. It was not too big, but not small either.

The wild boar in this apocalypse looks lean and doesn't have much meat, but it's enough for two delicious meals.

We are lucky today, the weather is warm, the cold wave has not arrived yet, and it is a sunny day.

And prey has come early in the morning. This thing is not like a hyena, it should be edible.

Lu Xian immediately picked up his submachine gun and gently rolled down the window.

——The windows of Yao Wei’s car are hand-cranked.
