12. Distress signals

The biggest problem with that catastrophe was that it wasn't completely destroyed.

Yune was too large to pass through the ruins of San Francisco's intricate neighborhoods, and the highways that encircled the city often broke off halfway through and we couldn't get there. And those high-rise buildings are even uglier, the old ones have not been demolished, the new ones have been built up, piled up vertically, and expanded horizontally, and the whole abandoned city is crowded and narrow, and now it is full of dead people, and it has become a cemetery of reinforced concrete and lush plants.

I said, "I've heard that there was a kind of nuclear bomb in ancient times, and as soon as it was blown down, all these blocks were turned into gravel. ”

"When you're alone, these houses shelter you from the wind and rain, and you forget about it when you look back? ”

I said, "Sir, the position of man is going to become." They were good for me, but now they are not good for me. ”

Lamia thought for a moment and said, "Lao Wei, bump into it all the way, if it really doesn't work, take a detour." ”

Lao Wei said: "Obey! "He started to crash down the little bungalows, and it was like walking on the ground, and we couldn't afford to mess with the tall buildings, lest we be buried alive.

We seemed to destroy one or two robbers' nests, and one of the robbers escaped and shouted and shot at us, and the shot was like a mosquito bite at Yune, and we didn't bother to pay attention to it.

When the storm came, we were tearing down a broken iron fence and entering Golden Gate Park, which was also overrun by plants, these vicious flowers and plants, which did not stand in the way, but were more hateful and difficult than concrete walls and columns, and they were embedded in Yune's tires, although the tires were specially made, stiffer and more elastic than the body, but if the flowers and plants filled the gaps in the tires, Yune would be prone to slippage, so that Lao Wei could not control as he wanted.

The thunder was dull through Yune's heavy door panels, and to make matters worse, the raindrops were green oil, sticking to the bulletproof glass, blocking the view, and Yune's windshield wipers were like guillotines, full of force, but they couldn't be removed. Lao Wei screamed: "Oh no, you have to spray strong acid on the glass to clean it." ”

I said, "So, where can I buy it?" ”

Lao Wei said: "Buy? I can't buy it, I can't buy it at all, so what can I do now? ”

Indeed, even if you want to wash with a lot of water, it is a luxury.

Thunder and thunder won't break Yune, but the tiny debris and slime will make us feel helpless.

Lamia said, "Quea, let's see if there is a past gas station in the area?" ”

I asked, "What's the use of finding a gas station?" ”

Lamia said, "Burn it with fire." ”

The pre-Holocaust gasoline was contaminated and could no longer start the engine, but it was okay to burn, and there was no way to do it, and Yune was an armored vehicle that defended against military attacks, and it should be able to withstand the flames.

Laca projected an image from his eyes, indicating a route. But Lao Wei said: "I.... This.... Can't drive through. ”

I said, "Whatever gets in the way, just run it over." ”

Lao Wei said: "What if you fall off the bridge? ”

"Please let me drive," he said. ”

Lao Wei's expression was like that of a provocative boxing champion, he said: "You can't drive, don't joke, I've been professionally trained, you can't imagine how much hard work I have put in to practice such a driving skill." You have to think not only about balance, but also about the speed of the car in corners, how many factors can affect it? If you make the slightest mistake, you'll have to roll over. ”

"Please allow me to try," said Lacka. ”

Lamia ordered Lao Wei to step back, and he held the steering wheel with his iron hand, and the car turned and moved smoothly, and Lao Wei looked a little self-contained.

Lamia asked, "Can you see outside?" ”

He replied, "I can use acoustic sounding to image." ”

I said, "1024."

Lamia asked, "What do you mean?" ”

I said, "It seems to be a secret language among men in ancient times, meaning first-class good." ”

Lamia frowned and asked, "Why don't I think it's a good thing?" ”

I didn't dare to answer.

Lamia turned to Lafaa and said, "If that's the case, then there's no need to clean it up." ”

"Acoustic imaging is not very accurate, and it's just a stopgap measure. ”

Lao Wei said: "Yes, it is still the safest operation with the human eye." ”

I think it's the thoughtful side of it, she's taking care of Lao Wei's emotions, she's not only enhancing her function, but she's also becoming more human.

It's all thanks to me, and hopefully when I get to the skyscraper, there will be a treasure worth 30 million waiting for me to unlock.

A voice came to my head: "It's twenty million. ”

Ah, this hateful mind-reading technique makes Laca less lovable.

We were told that when we got to the gas station, the slime storm continued, and in the storm, I didn't dare to go out, because sometimes the storm would send people far away, as if they were being tricked by fairy tale goblins. And Yune was heavy, and the goblins couldn't move it.

After waiting for two hours for the storm to come to an end, we stepped out of the hatch and Lamia tried the oil gun and said, "There's plenty of oil." ”

A new problem came again, Yune was so big that the oil gun couldn't reach the windshield. Lamia said, "Stay away. ”

Then she gritted her teeth and lifted the whole tank, her expression was not relaxed, and the tank was not full, but I never expected her to have such divine powers. Breathing heavily, she said to me: "Prepare to shoot the fuel tank in the air." ”

I muttered, "Crazy." ”

Lamia threw the fuel tank into the windshield, I fired a few shots at the tank, the fuel tank exploded, the fuel mixed with the flames sprinkled in all directions, I dodged this grand rain of fire like a fish, and saw the flames engulf Yune... A small part.

Lamia ran a few steps, and suddenly fell forward, and I grabbed her, took her to safety, and said, "Sir, 1024." ”

Lamia was weak and she said, "Shut up. ”

While waiting for the flame to go out, I picked some plants and fruits to replenish my potion. He watched my every move and said, "The ingredients of these plants are very ordinary, and it is impossible for people to be invisible, nor to poison demons. ”

I said, "You have overlooked one element, my child, and that is human power. Where there's a will, there's a way. It was with my dexterous hands that I made a first-class elixir. ”

"It's not like that, just like ordinary water can't burn, wood can't hold strong acids, you can't change the chemical composition of a potion," said Shaga. ”

I smiled and said, "Kid, you still have too little knowledge, and not all phenomena can be answered with scientific principles." For example, Neferem..."

I felt that I would be silenced if I continued to talk about it, so I stopped in time.

He stopped looking at me, but still spoke to me with his brain waves: "I think this medicine is just a mental hint you give yourself, and it triggers your potential. ”

I thought, "Really? Do you adore me? Do you think I'm the best too? ”

"I'm just curious, when I was in the Ulysses Chamber of Secrets, I noticed that your hands and eyeballs dissolved into black liquids, and you drank those liquids, and then seemed to teleport. ”

I asked, "Teleportation?" ”

"I suspect you move from one location to another, ignoring the limitations of time and space. Because you pass directly through the wall and enter an undetectable foreign land. ”

This topic gave my bone marrow chills, and my blood pressure was about to explode, and I thought, "Little princess, you are wrong, let's stop here." ”

"Indeed, the probability of that phenomenon is very small, almost zero, and the topic is canceled, and the rest of the possibilities are evaluated." ”

It took a long time for the flames to be extinguished, and Yune's surface was hot, but there were no scorch marks on the surface, and the slime was burned dry and became a mud that could be removed, and Lao Wei and I poured hundreds of pounds of ash down, and Lao Wei said: "This is the king of trucks, at least a company of people must be needed to protect Yune, how can the four of us be enough?" ”

Lamia ate some food (she had no sandwiches left, only the inferior meat I made) and her condition improved a lot. "Try to open Yune's cargo hold, there must be matching tools inside," she said. ”

We went back to the cabin, and I found a key and opened the lock in the corner, and inside the lock was a button that said "Cargo Hold". I said, "Here it is!" ”

Open the door to the cargo compartment and there is a tool box, a large vat of cleaning fluid and a variety of oils, as well as a dust cover that can be retrofitted. Lao Wei and I studied for a long time, put the dust cover on the car window, it can be retracted, and the next time, when a similar storm comes, we can cover all the windows with the dust cover.

"There used to be a food company nearby, and there may still be food and water," he said. ”

I said, "Even if there were, it would have been picked up by the scavengers, and this group of rats is everywhere." ”

Lamia looked at me and said, "You're not a scavenger?" ”

I said, "I'm not anymore, I'm not going to pick up trash anymore, I'm going to have a bright future in heaven." ”

Lamia said, "One should not forget one's roots. ”

I said, "Sir, this is not forgetting one's roots, this is a makeover, a farewell to the despicable past. ”

"Okay, but it's still a long way to go, so let's try our luck at the food company," Lamia said. ”

The food inside must have rotted if it hadn't been emptied, but there was plenty of water to supply, plants were the easiest to grow, and there might be edible fruit and mushrooms, as well as some wild animals to hunt.

According to the guidance of the old man, he turned a corner and continued to destroy the small houses that stood in his way.

Passing through an intersection, Laca said, "There is a distress signal from the Ranger. ”

Lamia was leaning against the window and napping, she immediately opened her eyes and turned on the walkie-talkie, and a clear human voice came from inside: "Help, help, I'm the Black Coffin Ranger Salvador, we are in Dingjin Mountain Park, coordinates..... Request support, request support. ”

Lamia said, "Is it El Salvador? ”

Lao Wei said: "He... Are they still alive? ”

Lamia and Raka were originally outnumbered, but were separated by the storm and the others. I thought they were dead, but they were alive?

I felt a little uncomfortable, after all, Lamia was my chief, and that Salvador, and the other living people, had been with Lamia longer and had a better relationship. I'm like an only child with more siblings, and I'm not immune to being left out in the cold.

Four people are enough, and any more is unbearable.

I said, "It's definitely a trap, ignore him." ”

"That's really the voice of El Salvador, and we're going to Dingjin Mountain Park," Lamia said. ”

Look, look, my chief has been partial, and even did not hesitate to risk it for them, this hateful Salvador, these hateful survivors.
