Rickety cars, boring journeys.

The car finally stopped in an open space not far from a small town, and the adults escorted the children out of the car.

Here they are, with two hours to rest and eat.

Every day, only in the morning and at dusk, they can get out of the car to move, solve the excretion problem, and wash up and eat some hot meals by the way.

More than a dozen garbage trucks lined up, and groups of adults and children, divided into men and women, went to solve the problem of urinating and defecating.

When he left, his grandfather told the two children to drink as little water as possible. It's inconvenient in the car, and the driver won't stop because you need to go to the toilet alone.

Things were exactly as grandpa expected, the first night there was a child crying until midnight, and Sang Yu could only curl up in his brother's arms and sleep in a daze.

Before dawn, some young children defecated in the car.

A foul smell filled the entire carriage with urine and smell, and when Sang Yu woke up and went to the ground, he felt that his whole person was stinking.

In this era, because of the lack of rare metals, not everyone has a car.

More families, are adults huddled in a small area with children and their respective luggage.

Cars are not a necessity in this era, and the limitation of purchasing capacity can only rely on the basic maintenance of the base to ensure everyone's travel. In every small town, there will be a bus in the morning and evening, waddling back and forth.

If you need to go shopping in the city, take the bus to the city and come back at a fixed time in the afternoon. No money, no points, and no need to pay points for the natural gas used in the car.

Most of the cars are family-oriented, and there are very few people like Meng Qinghu and Sang Yu who only have two children. Those orphans have a special car to carry them, and there will be teachers in the hospital to take care of them in the car.

Meng Qinghu can only take care of his sister like an adult at the moment, holding his sister in one hand and the lunch box in the other when he is cooking.

After everyone had finished eating and got into the car, the garbage trucks drove away one by one. Soon the excrement-filled pit was covered with nearby earth by several SDF personnel, leaving a trail of trampling in the clearing.

"Brother, I see Dad."

Sang Yu leaned on her brother's arms, and the well-behaved Xiaobai was sleeping in her arms, and the brother and sister were whispering.

Meng Qinghu was still very concerned about Meng Yanxuan not picking up their brother and sister: "Did Dad see you?" ”

"No, I don't."

Sang Yu was a little hesitant, and she didn't know if her father had seen her.

She saw her father when she went to the garbage truck, and Gina took Meng Xinai to the garbage truck as well. Gina didn't see Sangyu, but Sanyu saw her. I also saw Meng Yanxuan, who was standing not far from the garbage truck, waiting for Gina and Meng's beloved.

I don't know why, subconsciously, Sang Yu dodged. Dad didn't go to District 8 to pick her and her brother in time, which was a big deal for Sang Yu and Meng Qinghu.

Including grandparents, they didn't say it, but they still minded it in their hearts.

Meng Qinghu touched his sister's head: "Do you want to go with your father's car?" ”

Think?

Meng Sangyu naturally thought that if she followed her father, she didn't have to squeeze into this container-like car. No need to listen to your child's cry, no need to smell a bad smell.

Looking at Sang Yu, who bowed his head and didn't speak, Meng Qinghu smiled bitterly: "Sang Yu, let's not follow Dad's car." He didn't have a big car, so it was a bit crowded for us to go. ”

"Okay."

Meng Qinghu didn't know how to tell his sister that if his father wanted to take them, why wouldn't he come back to pick them up.

Jolia is right, if you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather.

Their dad is no longer the dad of the two of them. He had a new daughter-in-law, a new child, and they became oil bottles.

"Brother, do you think Brother Jing Zhan will catch up with us?"

"Yes, as long as Brother Jing Zhan comes back, he will definitely be able to catch up with us."

Meng Qinghu also hoped that Jing Zhan could catch up with them soon, Jing Zhan had great strength and good kung fu. Normally, several adults are not his opponents, and with Jing Zhan, he hid from someone to protect his sister.

He and Jing Zhan are together, and I feel that the whole person will be much more confident.

If Jing Zhan is here, they can't go to Dad's car. A car can only seat five people, and with Jing Zhan, it's six.

Yes, we are waiting for Jing Zhan, not that we don't want to go to Dad and them.

Meng Qinghu found a reluctant reason for himself.

The space on the container car was limited, and Meng Qinghu could only sit in the corner of the car, with Sang Yu in his arms.

To their left is a family of three, a pair of parents with an eleven-year-old son. On the right hand side is a small couple, Lu Yu and Xia Qing, they have no children yet, and they have been taking care of the Sang Yu brothers and sisters along the way.

Because the cars were all old people from the town of the eighth district, everyone was quite polite.

Adults would rather suffer a little by themselves, and they will try to let the children in the car lie down and sleep comfortably.

In other cars, many small towns were temporarily merged later, and the selfishness of human nature was undoubtedly revealed. Sang Yu often sees Self-Defense Force vehicles stop on the side of the road and hit the outside of a certain box with a long iron rod as a warning.

The convoy was very long, and Meng Yanxuan's car had always followed the Self-Defense Forces.

On the first day, because Meng Yanxuan came back late, the family of three was a little late when they set off.

I finally hurried and hurried to rest at dawn when the convoy was resting. When he caught up with the convoy, Meng Yanxuan's car immediately ran to the front and followed the Self-Defense Forces.

Meng Sangyu and Meng Qinghu never saw their family of three again.

Gina originally wanted to ask Meng Yanxuan if he wanted to go to the town of District 8 to pick up the three children, but Meng Yanxuan went out for a few days, and when he came back, the convoy left early.

Needless to say, the three children must have followed the convoy as well.

On the way, Gina saw that Meng Yanxuan didn't mention looking for the three children, so she didn't mention it. There are already four people in the car, and if you add three children, not to mention that there is no place to put your luggage, and there is no place to sit!

Their car was a five-seater car, and when Meng Yanxuan came back, he also brought a young boy, Xiao Du. Gina didn't ask who Xiao Du was, and she rarely asked about Meng Yanxuan.

This is also one of Meng Yanxuan's advantages that she likes, unlike Qiaoqiao, who always forbids him to do this or that.

"Mom, I want chocolate."

Meng Xinai was tired of sitting in the car, and at first she could still look at the scenery outside by opening the car window with great interest. Now she just wants to get out of the car, she doesn't want to get in the car anymore.

Gina took out a piece of chocolate from the Xiaoice box next to the car and handed it to Meng Xinai, then took out another piece and asked Meng Yanxuan: "Yanxuan, do you eat a piece of refreshment?" ”

Meng Yanxuan shook his head, and bought a box of chocolates, and after eating it, his beloved was gone.

The convoy stopped for less than four hours a day twenty-four hours a day. In addition to cooking in the morning and evening, an hour will be set aside at noon and in the middle of the night for the car to rest and maintain.

Meng Yanxuan is specifically responsible for driving, and the advantage of unmanned driving is that you don't have to worry about the car.

Gina has to take care of her beloved, and Meng Yanxuan just needs to pay attention to the car condition alone. Gina didn't know why he had to bring a little Du over, but it made her very inconvenient.

At dawn, the car had just set off, and the meteorite group landed.

In one day and one night, due to road conditions, the base convoy only drove more than 400 kilometers.

"Brother, what's the sound?"

Sang Yu sat upright from his brother's arms and listened attentively.

Meng Qinghu knew that Sang Yu's hearing was different from ordinary people, and there were many people in the car, so it was inconvenient for her to prick up her ears, so she could only try to get as close to the carriage as possible to listen to the sounds outside.

The sound of talking in the car, the noise of children, the sound of children secretly eating snacks.

Outside the car, the sound of the wind, the rolling of wheels, the sound of smoke and dust flying up and falling and flying again.

In the midst of these many sounds, Sang Yu heard the dull sound of a stone hitting the ground.

"Brother, it's the meteorite group here!"

Sang Yu's voice was not loud, and there was no excitement at all in the noisy carriage.

The young daughter-in-law sitting next to Sang Yu was called Xia Qing, she patted Sang Yu's arm lightly, and said in a low voice: "Sang Yu, don't talk nonsense, children, you will be scolded." ”

She likes the two children of the Meng family very much, especially Meng Sangyu. Although she rarely appears in the town's square, she is very popular with the townspeople.

Who doesn't like a beautiful, well-behaved and cute child.

Everyone knows that there will be a meteorite swarm, and everyone thinks that even if they come, it should not be so fast. What's more, it's just getting dark, and everyone has just finished dinner.

Even if there is a meteorite, it should be in the second half of the night.

Suddenly there was a loud "boom", followed by a crackling sound on the carriage like hail.

The sky is full of meteor showers, with dazzling light, falling all over the wilderness.

All the cars are parked on the side of the road in an orderly manner.

The Self-Defense Force's Beetle cart quickly drove past the box car, staggering and vigilantly watching the situation on both sides of the road.

The voice of the command was heard on the radio in the car: "The meteorite group is coming, everyone should not panic, stay in the car, do not come out and walk around." ”

The people in the box car could not see the situation outside, but the explosion-proof glass in the private car could clearly see that the meteors in the starry sky were dragging their long tails, falling on the wilderness and roads with black smoke, and the dust was flying.

A meteorite happened to hit the glass of Meng Yanxuan's car, and the solid glass cracked out spider patterns, but it did not shatter. Gina hugged Meng Xinai, who was crying in fright, and squatted under the seat.

Meng Yanxuan and Xiao Du, who was driving, glanced at each other, watching the meteorite outside the car fall rapidly, and the faces of the two of them seemed to be condensed with heavy thoughts, waiting for something.

This moment, for everyone, is the longest wait.

The landing time of the meteorite group lasted less than half an hour, and looking at the potholes on the road outside, Meng Yanxuan couldn't help but be glad that his car was the second-generation version of the base Beetle.

This is what his father-in-law has worked hard to exchange for them with points, and he has spent nearly half of his life with points.

"Yanxuan."

Gina screamed in fright when she saw Meng Yanxuan pushing the cart door and preparing to go out.

Meng Yanxuan turned around and comforted in a low voice: "It's okay, Gina, you hold your beloved, Xiao Du and I will go to the front to see the road conditions." ”

Xiao Du followed Meng Yanxuan with a flashlight and walked forward, and soon, they saw a car that had been smashed by a meteorite.

Fortunately, the meteorite was not too large to bear, and the people in the car were unharmed.

Further on, a meteorite landed in the middle of the road, smashing into a deep crater. A huge meteorite, half sunk in a deep crater and half exposed.

There was still a sizzling white smoke.

"Is it passable?"

Meng Yanxuan took out a cigarette and gave it to the Self-Defense Forces standing near the crater, and some people in the Self-Defense Forces still knew him. The son-in-law of the Ji family is also an insider of the base.

"I can't get over for the time being, you see next to this, even if the guardrail is removed, you can only pass one or two cars, and if you do more, the roadbed will collapse."

Another person from the command post came over, held a bullhorn, and told the onlookers to hurry back to the car.

At the moment, it's too dangerous to be outside the car.

The people in the car quickly knew that the car would not leave tonight.

Everyone slept in fear and waited for the road to be cleared tomorrow before moving on.

In the second half of the night, there was silence.

Outside the car, there was only the sound and lights of the Self-Defense Forces Beetles patrolling back and forth.

Sang Yu sat up suddenly and shouted, "Someone." ”

Everyone in the carriage was awakened, and Sang Yu's voice was too loud, with the sharpness of a little girl.

"Sangyu, what's wrong with you, are you having a nightmare?"

Xia Qing hurriedly turned over and sat up, hugging Sang Yu: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid." ”

"Someone, pull the alarm."

Sang Yu broke free from Xia Qing's embrace, stumbled and stepped on the legs of the people in the carriage, and rang the emergency call bell in the carriage.
