Doomsday Traveler

Chapter 61: New Inuit Humans
However, just as they were about to go to bed, the cold air suddenly came.

This time, the interval between the two cold waves in Mengxin City was so short that the two of them only had time to go to Tongzhou County and have dinner before the severe cold hit again.

"Gouzi, go plug in the air conditioner."

As Lu Xian spoke, he lifted the quilt and was about to get up and get into the back seat.

Yao Wei said, "Let me do it." She rushed to the back and waited for Gouzi to rush over to open the back socket cover and plug in the air conditioner.

The cover of the air-conditioning outlet will open automatically, but you will have to wait a while before it warms up.

Lu Xian tightened the quilt and wrapped himself tightly, but when he saw Yao Wei rushing back from the back seat, she did not rush to cover herself with the quilt, but stared out the window and frowned.

"Should we take back this meat?"

Yao Wei said worriedly.

She really felt sorry for the supplies.

Lu Xian thought about it and said, "No, it's also good to change the air-dried meat into frozen jerky. If I take it back, the air conditioner in the car may be damaged."

Yao Wei was relieved when she heard Lu Xian say that. She nodded and said, "Yeah."

However, she didn't know that Lu Xian was just thinking about it.

Lu Xian has neither the experience in making air-dried meat nor the knowledge in making frozen jerky.

This guy can only try his best based on the existing conditions and what he has seen before.

Anyway, the air conditioner is on, and the meat will spoil faster in the car than outside. Lu Xian is sure of this.

The car finally got warmer, and Lu Xian no longer needed to wrap himself up so tightly. He relaxed a little and said, "Let's sleep."

"Ah."

Yao Wei also covered herself with the quilt, but she still looked out of the car from time to time.

Supplies are tiring, and those strips of meat that have been dehydrated and frozen in the cold wind always catch her attention.

Lu Xian had to persuade him: "Okay, stop watching. It's a waste if you don't sleep when you should and don't replenish your energy."

Yao Wei blinked and looked at Lu Xian. Her eyes were shining under the starlight, and they looked particularly beautiful.

"What are you looking at?"

Lu Xian asked.

"without……"

Yao Wei shook her head and said, "You have a point."

She seemed to think that Lu Xian's words made sense. After saying this, she closed her eyes and went to sleep.

Lu Xian was silent for a while, then closed his eyes.

It seems that what I said does make sense.

If that makes sense, then go to sleep.

……

“Dangdangdang, dangdangdang…”

Something was tapping on the car window, more than one.

Lu Xian and Yao Wei opened their eyes and found that the sky was gradually getting brighter. The dawn in the east dispersed the starlight in the sky.

The strips of meat hanging on the car window had frozen solid at some point, and now, as the morning breeze blew, they slapped against the iron mesh outside the window with a "dang-dang-dang" sound.

"It seems to have frozen."

Lu Xian was a little surprised.

The extreme cold of this cold night actually squeezed the moisture out of the meat, causing the originally plump meat strips to become shrunken and wrinkled.

The water released from the meat formed a layer of ice on the surface of the meat strips, which looked somewhat crystal clear.

I feel like I should be able to eat...

Lu Xian looked at the strips of meat carefully and made a judgment in his mind.

But he didn't intend to rely solely on his own eyes. If he wanted to eat it, he still had to let the dog take a look. "Do you want to take it back?"

Yao Wei asked.

The woman was still thinking about this matter. She always felt that it would be safer to take it back than to hang it outside.

But Lu Xian still shook his head and said, "Let's hang it up first. It's too warm in the car."

Although the meat strips looked wrinkled and dehydrated, it seemed that they should be fine, but Lu Xian was still not sure. He was afraid that the meat strips would quickly rot once they were thawed.

It is better to hang it outside. When the weather gets warmer, the car will continue to move, and when the wind blows, it can be regarded as drying again.

"Ah."

Although she was habitually worried, Yao Wei still chose to believe Lu Xian.

Lu Xian thought about it again, opened the car door and took out the nearest row of dried meat from outside.

After being sterilized by extreme cold and dehydrated, it should be fine to eat the meat strips directly. Lu Xian suddenly wanted to try it, and since he hadn't finished his breakfast yet, he thought he might as well pick some dried meat and try it.

The cold wind blew into the car in an instant, and the warmth brought by the air conditioner was dispelled in an instant.

Fortunately, Lu Xian and Yao Wei were already used to the cold in this world, so this little bit of cold was nothing to them.

In comparison, picking dried meat is more difficult.

Yesterday, Lu Xian had hung the dried meat directly on the iron net. Now it was frozen and connected to the iron net at the hole, so Lu Xian didn't dare to pull it hard for fear of pulling the iron net down.

He needed to use some skill, so he had to put in a little more effort.

——For the new generation who are used to achieving miracles through great force, this is indeed not easy.

"You pick a row too. We'll turn off the air conditioner and let the dog take a look. If everything looks good, we'll have some dried meat for breakfast and test out my work."

Lu Xian and Yao Wei were talking, and they reminded each other, "Be careful when picking the dried meat, don't break the iron net."

"it is good."

Yao Wei agreed and opened the passenger door. She followed Lu Xian's example and reached out to pick the dried meat from the nearest row.

Now the wind in the car instantly turned into a draught, and the two men were so cold that they had to wrap themselves up in blankets and continue working.

After picking up the dried meat, the two of them quickly closed the car door. After a while, they felt the coldness gradually fade away, and Lu Xian couldn't help but laugh.

He sighed, "Now that I have this air conditioner, I'm a little uncomfortable with the cold air. It's easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it's hard to go from luxury to frugality."

Yao Wei nodded with deep feeling: "Yes."

The two looked at each other and smiled, both thinking that this was a good idea.

Then, moving on to the next step, Lu Xian unplugged the air conditioner, let the dog recover, and immediately gave the order: "See if this meat can be eaten directly?"

The dog's eyes immediately flashed, and he went to sweep the dried meat that Lu Xian had laid out in a row.

After scanning, the dog's eyes lit up, and Lu Xian and Yao Wei both confirmed that there was no problem.

So Lu Xian quickly plugged the air conditioner back in, and the dog immediately turned back into a power bank.

The car became warm again.

Lu Xian and Yao Wei sat back in the front seat and each took a piece of frozen meat.

The meat strips felt cold and hard in his hands. Lu Xian thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you put the meat strips under the air conditioner vent to warm them up before eating?"

"What about you?"

Yao Wei asked. She could tell that Lu Xian didn't seem to be planning to eat like that.

Lu Xian smiled and said, "I plan to try the Inuit way of eating it?" As he said this, he stuffed the meat strips into his mouth.

It's really hard and it's hard to bite it with your teeth.

He took out a knife and stabbed the meat strip up and down. After it was cut, a small piece of meat went into his mouth, making it much easier to chew.

Well, now I really become an Inuit.

The new Inuit people.
