Chapter 106: Parting

In the morning, Gao Pillow sat up from the ground and stretched.

The fat man was still asleep, and Zhou Mi had already gotten up to pack his things, and he cleared out many tools to fix the cars that had been abandoned on the road. Only with a car can they get from city to city faster.

Gao Zhen found that Shen Xin was not there, and the place where she slept was empty.

"Did you see Shen Xin?" Gao Zhen frowned and asked Zhou Midao.

"Shen Xin? It was as if she was gone, and her salute was gone. Zhou Mi pointed to the place where the salute had been piled up.

Let's go? When did she leave? Where did it go? Why didn't she say hello to everyone?

Is it because of last night? Is she angry? Are you angry with me?

Gao Zhen shook his head, Shen Xin is not that kind of girl. Did something happen to her? Or did you find any clues left by her father?

I don't know, I can't figure it out.

Pictures flashed through his mind, he remembered the first time he saw Shen Xin in the laboratory in the computer room, the way she took him to watch the backstreet for dinner, the way she looked when she was caught by Captain Kidd, the way she looked when she rescued herself at the beach, the game, the drama team, and the question she asked him yesterday......

Life seems to have changed since that girl appeared, and it was as if none of this would have happened without that girl. Gao Zhen felt that she was suddenly missing from her side, as if there was a lot of color missing. She is like a white water lotus, using her own whiteness to set off the strange light around her.

Takazumi shook his head and told himself that this was the end of the world, and he couldn't waste his precious time on these meaningless memories. Many times, he has to make decisive decisions, like swinging a sword, hesitation leads to defeat.

He didn't want to think about Shen Xin's things anymore, as if he couldn't stop thinking about it.

"Zhoumi, how are you going to fix those cars, do you need my help?" Gao decided to find something to do to forget about what was on his mind.

"Brother Pillow, maybe we're going to separate tonight." Zhou Mi said to Gao Zhen with a sad face.

"It's okay, I have to go back to save my sister, and you have to hurry back to protect your parents." Gao Zhen smiled and patted Zhou Mi on the shoulder.

Gao Zhen's sister is in H City, and the fat man lives near H City, and it is unclear what his family is doing now. And Zhou's parents, who are in City D, are hiding in a shelter.

Cities H and D are geographically two completely opposite directions, so it is impossible for them to act collectively anymore, and they will have to go their separate ways after fixing the car tonight.

They woke up the fat man, pulled him to help, and prepared to start repairing and modifying the car.

Soon, they found two cars on the road and in the parking lot. These are two urban off-road cars, and while not as powerful as real off-road vehicles, they are at least four-wheel drive, have good speeds, and can be avoided with relative ease when encountering obstacles.

The biggest problem for them to modify cars is energy. On a normal day, it would take about 10 hours to drive from S to H on a highway with a motorway, which would have used up almost a full tank of gasoline.

But now, the highway will not be as smooth as it used to be, because there will definitely be a lot of traffic coming and going, and there will be a lot of traffic on the road. They roughly estimated that in the current situation, it would take at least 15 to 20 hours to drive to H City as quickly as possible.

For thoroughness, this problem may be better solved. He plans to supply the energy from the steam core in his steam backpack to the off-road vehicle, making it a completely steam-powered car instead of burning gasoline. Since the mechanic's passive skills can improve the efficiency of the steam engines around him, such a modified steam car may run faster and perform more effectively than a regular car.

However, this is a difficult thing for high pillows and fat people.

Zhou Mi got some gasoline from the fuel tanks of several other cars and filled up the off-road vehicle with high pillows and fat man. Then he felt that it was not enough, so he found another fuel tank, filled most of it, and gave it to them as a backup. This is necessary because it is almost impossible to encounter gas stations on the road, and those places have been 100% emptied by other people or blown up by others.

After dealing with these, Zhou Mi began to do protective reinforcement for the two off-road vehicles with the help of the two.

There are vehicles on the road that have already been attacked. They used their sharp claws and teeth to tear off the outer iron sheet of the car. In some cars, the windows were broken, allowing people to get in, and the passengers who were hiding inside and did not dare to come out were bitten to death.

From this point of view, in order to safely pass through the area that is blocked by people, protective reinforcement is indispensable.

The crowd first went to the parking lot to find a few cars that had not been damaged, and removed their doors and windows one by one. The dismantled parts were then hammered into the desired shape using a "retrofit hammer".

The nail guns that were left over from before are now back in handy. Several people mounted hammered metal armor to the exterior of the off-road vehicle and then shot nails to secure them. The metal armor was carefully machined from the shell of the off-road vehicle, and now it is just stuck on top of the original shell, like putting a layer of armor on a war horse.

In addition to the shell, the windows have also been reinforced. Large areas of glass are covered with a black metal shell, revealing only a small part of the outside environment. Even the very small part of the glass that was exposed was reinforced with several layers.

Finally, Zhou Mi also made several very sharp wedge-shaped shovels with a retrofit hammer and installed them under the nose of the off-road vehicle. These shovels are like the ones used to break the ice in front of the locomotive of an old steam train, and can easily be lifted off and cut into two pieces when they are intercepted.

By the time the two off-road vehicles were renovated, it was already more than 5 o'clock in the afternoon. Gao Zhen stood aside and looked at the two big guys tightly wrapped in iron armor, and felt that they were almost two tanks.

"Brother Pillow, when are you leaving?" He wiped the sweat from his head carefully.

"Thank you for your hard work," Gao Zhen looked at the time and calculated, if they left immediately, they could arrive in H City at noon tomorrow, "I can't delay it any longer, I'll leave later." ”

"Okay, me too, you must be careful on the road." Zhou Mi said, his voice trembling a little.

"We all have people to protect, as long as they are safe, tired, and injured, it's nothing." Gao Zhen smiled, stepped forward, and gave Zhou Mi a hug.

"Zhou Mi, you kid and I don't have to worry about the most. You're not as impulsive as Lin Haiming's guy, and you're not as stupid as Gao Zhen, but in the future, if you don't have a big brother like me, you will inevitably still encounter some trouble. The fat man stepped forward and hugged Zhou Mi as well.

"Brother Shuang, why don't we meet again at a time?" Zhou Mi said.

"Well, it's really hard to say, who knows when we'll see each other again! Even if you see it at that time, you may not be the same person. I'm not damaging you to death, I'm saying you're probably going to get into all sorts of trouble. The fat man said.

"At least give me a rough idea, what about two years from now? We're going to go with Brother Pillow to find the Boundary Breaker, and we're going to gather in this world! Zhou Mi squeezed out a smile as much as he could.

"Okay, I'll invite you kid to drink when the time comes!" The fat man patted him on the back, "Go ahead, go ahead, while the tears haven't fallen yet." ”

Zhou Mi's eyes were a little moist, he held back, waved his hand at the high pillow again, turned and ran towards his SUV.

"In two years, you're going to be stronger!" The fat man shouted at his back.

"I will!" Zhou Mi didn't look back, he was afraid that the fat man would see the two lines of tears on his face.
