Doomsday Traveler

Chapter 65 Computer Repair

The cold wave lasted for several days. In such weather, if you don’t find a place to hide, you may easily freeze to death.

Or if you don't store enough food, you may starve to death.

Lu Xian was very glad that he was a new human.

When I first crossed over, in the place further north, the ice and snow never melted all year round. It was so cold that if I were not a new human, I would not be able to withstand it.

No wonder he didn’t meet anyone after walking from north to south for so long.

In a world like that, how could anyone survive?

Even if the new humans had stayed there, they would probably be eager to escape, right?
He was also thankful to have found an air conditioner in Taipei and installed it in his car.

Thinking about the gasoline whose standards were changed and shelf life was extended before the end of the world, Lu Xian guessed that this air conditioner might also have been specially developed and produced and installed to cope with the end of the world.

Otherwise, why would they install another air conditioner in the bedroom when the villa at No. 272 ​​Jiangyu Road already has central air conditioning?
But despite all the effort and preparation, the world still became what it is now after the end of the world.

How desperate must those people be who made so much effort to survive the apocalypse.

Braving the severe cold, Lu Xian and Yao Wei drove forward, but they only drove for half a day.

Half a day later, they arrived at a gas station. The fuel gauge in the car showed that most of the gasoline had been consumed.

The car's reserve fuel tank was full, but in this world where urban and rural areas were sparsely distributed, they had to consider all special circumstances and ensure gasoline reserves as much as possible.

So when they got to this gas station, they both thought it best to stop and see if they could fill up their tanks.

It's just that refueling your car in such a cold weather may cause the gas pump to not produce fuel. But when the weather improves, the gas pump can be used again.

This situation is extremely rare, but Yao Wei has encountered it before.

Yao Wei didn't understand the reason at that time, but now when she talked to Lu Xian, Lu Xian had some guesses:
This may be because some places have already replaced their gas pumps with new standards in preparation for the doomsday winter, which can adapt to severe cold weather, but some places have not had time to replace them, so they are unable to cope with this situation.

——Of course, all this is just his guess.

They tried plugging the dog in and turning on the gas pump. The pump started up fine and indicated it had gasoline, but when they plugged it into the car's tank, the pump wouldn't pump gas.

So Lu Xian and Yao Wei decided to stay here for a while, wait until the weather gets warmer, try to add oil, and then leave.

This gas station is called Xinmeng Petroleum, not Changshengtian Petrochemical Gas Station.

Lu Xian thought to himself, no wonder the gas pump hasn’t been replaced, it turns out it’s not a big chain brand.

He and Yao Wei went into the "Xinmeng Petroleum" gas station and took a look around. It was empty except for a computer in the office in the side room.

It was also strange that the computer was there intact, without any problem at all.

I really don’t know how the computer has survived the wave of disasters here for so many years without being destroyed or taken away by anyone.

"It must be because this place is too desolate and few people come here. When people came here, there was a global power outage and the computers were no longer usable, so no one cares about this computer anymore, right?"

Lu Xian made a random guess as he squatted down to study the computer.

The computer's main chassis was quietly placed upright on the ground, the connected monitor was on the table, and the data cable and power cable in the middle were passed through the wiring holes on the table and connected in series.

"should be."

Yao Wei said, "If I came here alone, I would leave it alone."

After all, this thing is of no use to Yao Wei.

Lu Xian said: "That's because you are more civilized. Some people destroy everything they see. It's not like we haven't encountered that before."

Yao Wei said, "Then the people who came here before might have been more civilized."

Lu Xian glanced at Yao Wei in surprise. He didn't expect that Yao Wei would talk such nonsense to him.

It's really not easy. This woman used to be too frugal, to the point where she didn't want to say even a single word of nonsense. Yao Wei's eyes met Lu Xian's, and she felt a little uncomfortable, then frowned.

Lu Xian had no choice but to look away and try to get Gouzi to plug in the computer.

This woman...

According to the normal story plot, when ordinary people encounter such a situation, shouldn't they subconsciously look away?
Yao Wei is worthy of being Yao Wei, she is different from ordinary people!
The computer didn't respond at all.

Lu Xian tried to pat the computer case with his hand, but there was still no response.

Lu Xian didn't give up and slapped it again with more strength.

Yao Wei was a little confused and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Computer repair."

Lu Xian answered.

Yao Wei: “…”

She had seen a computer in the shelter under the reservoir at the entrance of Tan Village, so she knew what it was.

But she really couldn't understand how the computer could be repaired by tapping the square bump on it.

But Lu Xian knows so much, so there must be a reason for him to do this, right?
Yao Wei did not question it, but watched quietly and waited quietly.

But it was no use, the computer still didn't respond.

Perhaps after being left here quietly for decades and frozen for decades, this computer has been quietly scrapped.

Lu Xian sighed, stood up, and said, "No, it can't be fixed. Let's go. Let's find a corner to park the car and get in to warm up for a while."

"Ah."

Yao Wei nodded and was about to walk out.

Lu Xian followed, but as he walked, he felt a little unwilling to give up, so he turned back and took down the computer case. He did not move the data cable, power cable, monitor, mouse, and keyboard, and left them in place.

"How about you go get the toolbox from the car? I'll try to fix it."

Lu Xian carried the main chassis out.

Seeing this, Yao Wei also looked back and asked, "Don't you need to worry about the others?"

"No, the main problem right now is the computer case. If this can't be fixed, nothing else will work. I'll take it apart and give it a try."

Lu Xian said, rubbing his hands.

It's really cold today, most people can't stand it. It's normal that the computer can't stand it either.

He is a new human, but the computer is not.

Yao Wei noticed Lu Xian's movements and suggested, "Let's go to the car to warm up. This computer won't be used even if it's repaired."

Lu Xian thought for a moment and said, "Then go to the car and warm up for a while, and then I'll fix it. I don't know how long this cold wave will last, so I have to find something to do."

Yao Wei didn't know what the point of Lu Xian doing this was. She always gave up on such useless things.

But Lu Xian is not herself, so she won't ask so much of him.

She thought that it was because of his strong curiosity that Lu Xian knew so much, so different...
