Chapter 24: Equipment and Corn
"Come on, get in the car first, let's see if the navigation can still be used."
The two people sitting in the car looked at the open navigation and had a strange emotion, a familiar map, an unfamiliar scene, which made people laugh and cry. However, this navigation can still be used, which is a thing that makes the two of them happy. The navigation shows that they are now probably a little north of the original Laojun Cave, and the distance difference is about 50 kilometers.
Xu Qiang quickly clicked on the navigation, calculated the distance between him and various places in the south at the moment, selected a few places with a distance of three hundred to five hundred kilometers, and then turned off the engine, and the two sat in an open space, gesturing with a branch that was folded casually.
"Well, let's pick these first, let's sum it up, there is still more than one-third of the fuel tank in the pickup truck, about 33L, and the two spare auxiliary fuel tanks have a total of 100L gasoline, a total of 133L. The fuel consumption of this car off-road is about 15L per 100 kilometers, so we can walk about 850 kilometers. ”
Xu Qiang wrote the equation on the ground, calculated a preliminary data, and after thinking for a while, Xu Qiang said again:
"Limited to the means of transportation that does not cross the river, there is a natural danger of the Yangtze River in front of us, so we can only choose a place north of the Yangtze River. Nowadays, there are many mountains, forests, lakes and rivers in the world, and sometimes you need to take a detour or drive to find food and water sources on the way to your destination, so we can choose to choose a destination within 500 kilometers in a straight line. Fatty, do you think we will choose which place is more appropriate? ”
Luo Fatzi listened very seriously, because there was no chili pepper, and the index finger of his right hand habitually rubbed his lower lip, revealing a thoughtful expression. Hearing Brother Qiang throw the question over, he recalled the content of the map, and said hesitantly:
"Brother Qiang, how about you look at these places? One is the Danjiangkou Reservoir on the Yangtze River, the second is Xiangyang, and the third is the old Hekou City between Danjiangkou City and Xiangyang City. But we also need to consider the source of food, our current means are only hunting and fishing, and we don't need to think about grain cultivation for the time being, because we have not yet come across food that can be grown, such as rice, millet, soybean, etc., and where there are rivers and lakes, food should be easily obtained. ”
Xu Qiang smiled and nodded, looking teachable:
"Yes, yes, I deserve to be a former IT master, and my logical analysis ability is still very strong. These three places are also the places I have initially considered, so we will head south and try to get as close to these three places as possible. Since this is the first time we have come into contact with the world, we can probably conclude that it is on Earth, but there is no definite evidence to support this assertion, and it may be different from the Earth we are familiar with. Therefore, we must be fully prepared to deal with the various dangers and obstacles that arise in this process. ”
"Okay, Brother Qiang, what do you say?"
"Well, the first step, as survival freaks, our carry-on gear is the guarantee of our survival. So first of all, let's check our equipment, so that we know the other side and are invincible. Come, let's clean up around here and sort out the gear list. ”
As soon as they said it, they didn't care about washing and eating, so the two quickly took out their respective backpacks and opened them and began to count.
1. Large items: multi-purpose backpacks, military shovels, axes, saws, two sets of 30-meter-long paracords, one vice, one slotted screwdriver, and one telescope; Two auxiliary fuel tanks (50L full) and one PV water storage tank (20L full).

3. Weapons: 1 lancet, 1 * (equipped with a magnesium rod whistle), 2 multi-purpose Swiss Army knives, 2 straight knives (straight knives with magnesium rod whistles), 1 slingshot (with 2 sets of rubber bands), and 1 telescopic stick.

Two sets of sundries boxes, which are equipped with: four condoms, a pencil, a small book, a small flashlight, six spare batteries (button type), three ordinary liquid lighters, two boxes of matches, a small magnifying glass, a compass, a strand of cotton thread, a number of needles, a small round mirror, 3 candles, four small hacksaw blades, three sets of fish hooks and fishing lines, and a small bundle of fine wire.

8. Temporarily useless items: two mobile phones, two mechanical watches, two wallets, one radio, a small amount of cash, and two identity tags; Six empty water bottles, three and a half peppers, and 27 corns.
The above are all the current belongings of Xu Qiang and the others, as well as a car, and the clothes on their bodies are a set of camouflage uniforms, long-sleeved T-shirts, and hiking shoes.
After counting all the items, the two eliminated a compressed dry food and two bottles of water, ate and drank enough, and returned full of blood. Inspections of the status of the vehicle, mainly the tires of the pickup truck, were then checked. The two inspections are very careful in case there is a problem with the tires and they cannot reach the destination.
"Brother Qiang, come and see, guess what I found?" Luo Fatzi's surprised voice came.
Xu Qiang hurriedly turned to the fat man's side and found that he was constantly playing with something with his hands at the left front wheel.
When Luo Fatzi saw Xu Qiang coming, he smiled and stretched out his left hand, where there were a few yellow objects, and some dirt was wrapped in the outside.
"Brother Qiang, look, what is this? Am I amazing? ”
Xu Qiang looked at it intently, didn't understand, stretched out his hand and took out another one, rubbed off the mud on it, and an exclamation came out of Xu Qiang's mouth:
"This is corn? Is this really corn? Xu Qiang trembled excitedly, after several setbacks in a row, this is a bigger surprise, more happy than keeping pepper seeds, this is food, this is more precious than any item, it is the guarantee that Xu Qiang and the two can survive more comfortably, and there will be a great opportunity to change the direction of history.
