Chapter 59: Re-route
In the past, they often encountered groups of people who loved morality to kidnap others, and whether the military was present or not, they would try to sell miserably and take advantage of them to get what they wanted.
Today surprised Sun Rui.
"That's because it's not safe yet." Zhao Peng could understand the meaning of Sun Rui's words, and said in a low voice: "They don't need to worry about something that may fall into the crack. ”
"That's right." She sat down on her knees and looked around at the people nearby: "When the magnitude of the earthquake becomes smaller, the situation should be different." ”
"Whatever." Yao Chengwei grabbed the towel and applied a cold compress to the swollen bag on his forehead: "Anyway, we have to leave." ”
As for the chaos that will occur after the earthquake, it is completely out of their consideration.
He was more concerned about the vigil, so he glanced at Wen Qizhou, who was munching bread: "Brother Zhou, who will keep watch first tonight?" ”
"The three of us."
Wen Qizhou has already been arranged.
He didn't want to be separated from Chi Yue, and he didn't worry about Yao Chengwei and the three of them guarding together, so he simply dismantled them, and Xie Changxiao, who had a slightly higher force value, took Zhao Peng and Sun Rui to guard the second half of the night.
"Then let's go to sleep first." In order to change shifts with the three of them earlier, they didn't delay too long and went into the tent to rest.
The earthquake came so suddenly, they were all mentally and physically exhausted, and as soon as they relaxed and lay down, sleepiness swept over like a tide.
They fell asleep, and Wen Qizhou hugged Chi Yue, who was tightly wrapped, and chatted with Yao Chengwei for a while.
It wasn't long before a second wave of aftershocks came.
The magnitude of the earthquake was obviously smaller, but they could still feel the shaking of the earth, and they didn't dare to relax their vigilance at all, and they raised their flashlights to observe the surrounding situation.
The cracking of the ice made people panic, and the cries of children woke everyone who fell asleep one after another.
Fortunately, the aftershocks did not last long, and the cracks showed no signs of extending forward, so they did not need to change places for the time being.
But those who were woken up could not sleep.
Xie Changxiao, who was in high spirits, put on his coat and told them to go to sleep, but they had been lying down for less than two hours before the shaking caused by the third wave of aftershocks woke them up again.
After repeating this, the six people were so tossed that they couldn't close their eyes at ease, so they simply sat on the thick blankets outside the tent and waited for dawn.
"Let's find a house and take a break." Wen Qizhou drank two sips of water, packed up his things with them and walked to the small western-style building.
"Then I'll look at the map."
"Don't be that troublesome." Zhao Peng put his hand on Yao Chengwei's shoulder: "The villa they lived in before is very suitable." ”
"What if it collapses?"
"Let's go over there first." Chi Yue shrugged his eyelids and approached the off-road: "If it collapses, find another place." ”
"Okay." They got into the car separately.
Avoiding the cracks caused by the earthquake, the two cars drove out of the base in a large circle, heading out in the morning light.
The situation outside the base is not so good either.
Cracks are everywhere, buildings and advertising screens are crumbling, and many residential buildings have collapsed, making it seem like the entire city will be in ruins.
Xie Changxiao, who was sitting in the co-pilot, picked up the binoculars and observed the road conditions to avoid accidentally getting stuck in the crack for a while.
He gave Wen Qizhou directions, Wen Qizhou slowed down appropriately, and it used to be ten minutes away, but because of the detour, he drove for forty minutes to reach the villa area.
Most of the houses in the villa area are intact, and one or two are crooked because the cracks extend to the courtyard gate.
He parked downstairs at the villa where he had lived.
The car behind followed, but as soon as he stepped on the brakes, a small crack in the ice was suddenly crushed into a spider web, and the front of the car sank down with a creak.
Half of the front of the car fell into the ice, Yao Chengwei's heart tightened, and he shouted loudly: "Brother Zhou, you can help us take a look!" ”
"It's not a big problem." Hearing this, Qizhou relieved his heart, and called Xie Changxiao to open the doors on both sides and help them down.
Everyone worked together to drag the car back away from the area, find a new place to park, and then enter the villa together.
There are traces of others coming to the villa, and the air conditioning in each bedroom and the winter clothes and quilts left by the head of the household have all been taken away.
But they don't lack warm clothes, so they each pick a bedroom and sleepily lay out their bedding or sleeping bags to catch up on their sleep.
Chi Yue leaned on the crook of Wen Qizhou's arm, sniffed the cypress fragrance on his body, and fell into a deep sleep with a sense of security.
They slept peacefully until the afternoon.
When I woke up again, the golden wheel hanging in the sky poured warm light, and the temperature also rose imperceptibly.
She shrank into Wen Qizhou's arms, and her eyes shone on the light that squeezed into the gap in the curtains: "It seems to be heating up again." ”
"Hmm." He lowered his head, his chin resting on the top of her hair, and said in a deep voice, "We can leave tomorrow." ”
Chi Yue responded lightly: "Do you still want to sleep?" ”
"I don't want to."
"Then let's get up and get something to eat." She raised her hands around Wen Qizhou's neck and motioned for him to pick herself up.
Wen Qizhou hugged her to the end of the bed, picked up the sweater and coat next to the sofa, and put her on softly.
He asked, "Do you want to call them?" ”
"You go and see if they get up first." Since moving to the base, Xie Changxiao and Yao Chengwei have invited them to dinner from time to time, and she has never thought about ignoring them and secretly dining.
"Okay." He then knocked on the door next door.
Xie Changxiao and Yao Chengwei came the fastest, and the former sat on the sofa with Erlang's legs crossed: "What are we going to eat at noon?" ”
"Lap-mei soup pot."
"Are there enough ingredients? Not enough for me to get it. ”
"That's enough." Wen Qizhou picked up the ingredients and a bucket of water purportedly chiseled from ice, and asked them to help in the kitchen.
After a busy while, the six of them sat down to eat the soup pot.
Chi Yue talked about going north: "It's easy to encounter landslides on the highway now, we can't follow the original route, the best way is to go around from the next city." ”
The detour is certainly time-consuming.
But in comparison, the safety factor is higher.
"Yes." Xie Changxiao had no opinion, he glanced at Wen Qizhou and Zhao Peng: "How much gasoline do you have left?" ”
"200 liters."
"We still have 80 liters." Zhao Peng swallowed the bacon in his mouth and calculated: "I can run about six or seven hundred kilometers." ”
"Then we'll have to find a way to find out." After all, they have to walk more than 2,000 kilometers on a single highway, not to mention a detour.
"It's really not going to work, let's change the medicine." Yao Chengwei immediately said: "The medicine I have there should be able to exchange a lot of gasoline." ”
"The current medicine is too scarce, can we keep it or try to keep it, I really can't find us to change it with others."
"Okay." After discussing the issue of gasoline, they re-planned their route after dinner and set off early the next morning.
As they made their way through the city, they encountered many cars coming out of the base, and they were also driving in the direction next door.
To ensure safety, they keep a distance from all vehicles and do not stop halfway unless necessary.
