Doomsday Traveler

Chapter 165 Crow’s Mouth

The heavy snow stopped the next day, but the cold winter had not yet gone away and the snow could not melt, so Lu Xian and Yao Wei had to stay here.

When he woke up the next day, Lu Xian saw that the temporary frame outside the car was covered with ice crystals. If someone licked it, it would definitely be inseparable.

The strips of meat on the shelf have been frozen hard, and the snow wrapped around them has turned into hard crumbs. There is absolutely no problem breaking them off and using them as hidden weapons.

Lu Xian felt that if he had this piece of meat in his hand yesterday, the pig's head would have been poked with a big hole by the meat piece, and the effect would probably be better than the wheel spokes. The pig would just fall down and would not have had the energy to go crazy.

The two men did not collect the pork strips for the time being, allowing the frozen strips to continue to remain frozen in the severe cold. They waited until two days later when the weather warmed up before they processed them.

They cleaned the ice debris on the surface of the frozen meat strips, let the meat strips dry in the sun for a day, and then put them all away, wrapped them in cleaned wild boar skins, and placed them on the roof of the car.

But in this way, the frozen jerky took up the space where the books should be, so Yao Wei could only continue to put the box of books at her feet.

Seeing this, Lu Xian said, "Why don't we just remove the back seats? We don't plan to have other people in the car anyway."

Yao Wei glanced at the back row, thought for a moment, and nodded, "Okay."

She also felt that having two people in the car was enough and there was no need for a third person.

When she was driving alone before, there was enough space in the car to put things, so she did not remove the back seat. As a result, when Lu Xian got in the car, he found more and more things along the way, and the supplies piled in the car became more and more full, but now it is not enough.

It's a bit late to remove the seats now. As Lu Xian said, if they had thought of this earlier, they could have put more supplies for the Tancunkou shelter in the car.

They got to work right away. They immediately cleared out everything in the back seat of the car and removed the seats with tools like wrenches. The space in the back of the car suddenly became a lot larger.

Then the two of them put away the supplies that were convenient to place underneath, such as boxes and bags of unopened food, and then piled the other things into the car one by one. There was still some space to spare.

So Lu Xian went up to the roof of the car again, took down the frozen jerky wrapped in wild boar skin, and put it in the car. As for the two removed seats, they were of no use and had to be thrown away.

After setting off, Lu Xian felt that driving was much easier.

They took advantage of this day to dehydrate the dried meat and wait for the ice and snow on the ground to melt completely.

Although the snow was heavy this time, it lasted for a short time and did not accumulate too deeply on the ground. After it melted, the road conditions were not a big problem. The day after drying the meat strips, when Lu Xian and Yao Wei set off, the car was not affected at all.

Ahead is Dongshidian Village. They have actually always been very close to the village, but have not gone in to explore.

Firstly, they now have sufficient supplies, from food and drink to tools, and everything else, so the need to collect supplies is not that urgent.

Secondly, it was freezing cold and their car couldn't leave. If there were people in the village, they could escape by themselves without any problem, but they were afraid that if the car couldn't leave, it would suffer losses, which would not be worth the loss.

After having a clear understanding of their own strength, Lu Xian and Yao Wei are not too afraid of meeting ordinary people now, but what if the person hiding in the village is not an ordinary person?
The place where they stopped to deal with the wild boar was at Zhuoshi River west of Dongshidian Village, but it was actually some distance away from Dongshidian Village, and there was a hill in the middle blocking the view. Therefore, even if they made a fire and cooked, they would not be seen by the villagers of Dongshidian Village.

When he chose this place to park the car, to be on the safe side, Lu Xian took out the resonance gene scanner to check and confirmed that there were no new humans around.

But even so, Lu Xian couldn't guarantee that they were absolutely safe.

After all, in Jianshan City, the resonance gene scanner has "failed" three times.

The mutated monsters produced by the combined effects of mysterious things and the X-17 strain cannot be scanned out by the resonance gene scanner.

What should they do if there is such a weirdo in Dongshidian Village?
What if there is a weirdo who is more powerful than the fish rider and controls several brown bears with pheromones, and they all go crazy towards the car? Lu Xian really can't guarantee that he can stop all the brown bears.

So they huddled in this confirmed relatively safe place, rested and processed food, and then waited for the severe cold to arrive and for the weather to clear up.

But when the weather cleared up, they had to go to Dongshidian Village.

If a car wants to drive to the Jianweishan Tunnel Group, it must pass through the main road of Dongshidian Village.

The layout of this village is a bit similar to the previous Xifang Village. A main road divides the entire village into two parts. The village is not big, and the houses are arranged on both sides of the main street in neat rows.

After passing the main road, you can leave the village and continue forward.

Yao Wei went up on the roof of the car again, carrying the dog and the bow and arrow.

"Give you a piece of meat."

Lu Xian in the car started the car, stretched his hand out of the window and said something.

They didn't have breakfast this morning, so they wanted to use the freshly made meat strips to solve the breakfast problem.

Also, because I had a big meal three days ago and I have been staying in the car for the past two days without much movement, my energy consumption is not that great, so I am not that hungry now. I just need to eat a little to replenish my energy.

Therefore, the two of them did not wait until they had finished breakfast before leaving, but planned to eat the meat strips while walking.

Lu Xian took a piece of meat from the car and handed it out the window. Yao Wei heard Lu Xian's words on the roof of the car and leaned over to take it.

Lu Xian took another one, put it in his mouth, and drove off.

Yao Wei on the roof of the car also took a piece of meat and put it in her mouth.

The two of them entered the village, chewing on the strips of meat. The drone flew high above the car, and Yao Wei held the dog in her hands. They made it through Dongshidian Village without incident.

Lu Xian and Yao Wei were almost certain that there was no one alive in Dongshidian Village. Walking along the main road, they saw the village's current appearance. Some of the houses facing the street had collapsed, while others were still standing. The situation was much better than other places.

The doors of the well-preserved houses were wide open, or there were no doors at all.

You can see what's behind the door. It's messy and empty, even cleaner than Xifang Village.

After they had looked at the entire village, they stopped the car and searched the village from beginning to end. Then, as they saw from the car, Dongshidian Village had indeed been ransacked a long time ago, and there was nothing left for Lu Xian and Yao Wei.

Lu Xian and Yao Wei didn't care. They didn't have to find anything in every place. There were enough supplies in the car now, so if they found more things, they would worry about not being able to store them.

It’s better to keep going.

After walking for about an hour, we found a gas station at the corner of the road.

After confirming it was safe and filling up the gas, the road turned west.

In the distance, the mountains were like dark eyebrows, and the road, flanked by wild grass, sloped upwards, heading straight into the mountains. Following this southwest road, they would enter Jianwei Mountain.

"I hope this road isn't blocked."

After filling up the gas and getting in the car to continue the journey, Lu Xian said this.

"Ah."

Yao Wei nodded and hoped that the trip would go smoothly.

The journey into Jianshan City was incredibly difficult. So far, they had already changed routes twice due to traffic jams.

If we encounter it again, we will have no choice but to return the same way and head south from somewhere else.

But what they feared came true. The two drove uphill all the way to Jianwei Mountain and joined the main road. They soon arrived at the fourth tunnel of the Jianwei Mountain Tunnel Group. After passing the fourth tunnel and the fifth tunnel, they arrived at the sixth tunnel when they suddenly saw a landslide again.

The huge rocks that fell from the mountain blocked the entire tunnel, and looking at the tiny corners of the rocks that were exposed between the blocks, Lu Xian and Yao Wei could tell that it was not only the mountain outside the tunnel that collapsed, but the entire tunnel had collapsed as well.

Lu Xian was still unwilling to give up, so he asked Gouzi to take a look and asked, "Gouzi, can you see if the tunnel has collapsed?"

The dog glanced inside with its eyes, and then a light shone brightly.

Yao Wei opened the "World Atlas 1" and took a look. This tunnel was quite long, and the collapse and blockage had blocked the way forward.

"Oh, my bad mouth!"

Lu Xian sighed and said.

Yao Wei asked, "What's that crow's mouth?"

"It means that good words don't work, but bad words do."

Lu Xian explained.

But Yao Wei said very rationally: "It has already happened. It has nothing to do with whether we talk about it or not."

"Too."

Lu Xian said.

Now the road ahead is blocked, and if they don't want to abandon their car and walk, they can only return the same way they came.

The two men made a decision quickly and did not stop there. They turned around and drove down the mountain.

"How do we get there now?"

On the way back, Lu Xian asked Yao Wei, "According to what you said, Jiangbei is too chaotic and dangerous, so we can't go there. We only have two options.

"One way is to go further west and see if there is a road west of Jianshan City. The other way is to bypass Jiangbei City and go south from the east.

“I don’t know much about the situation in the south, so I need you to decide which road to take.

"But don't worry, no matter what you choose, I will definitely go with you."

"Ok, I know."

Yao Wei already knew that Lu Xian would do this, but when she heard Lu Xian say this, the corners of her lips still curled up unconsciously, and she smiled charmingly subconsciously.
She looked at the map and said, "Let's go east. If we go west, we'll have to cross the Jianshan Mountains, which seems even less safe."

"Too."

Lu Xian thought about what he had experienced since entering Jianshan City, and felt that what Yao Wei said made sense.

Along the way, there are mutant monsters, strange pressures, big fish with tumors in the water, and brown bears that are attracted to cars. It is too dangerous. This kind of place feels more dangerous than other places where humans gather.

So let’s take a detour and go east. Maybe the probability of encountering people will be a little higher, but at least it won’t be as weird and dangerous as this.
