Chapter 204: Taking The Initiative

Chapter 204: Taking The Initiative

Wei Dalei ran out of the room, and before him was the modified container truck.

Of course, now it looked more like a tracked armored vehicle, and if it had a cannon installed, it would probably resemble a tank.

Boys' love for vehicles is deeply ingrained in their bones. When Wei Dalei saw this truck looking even more powerful, he let out a strange cry and rushed towards it.

"Do you know how to drive this?" Chen Mu grabbed him.

"Pfft, it's just driving a car." Wei Dalei, who had been driving for over a year, looked disdainful.

"The way this vehicle operates is different from ordinary ones." Tang Jing walked over, climbed into the driver's seat, and said, "Let me teach you."

At this point, others began to wake up one after another.

Tang Jing said to Wei Dalei, who was sitting in the passenger seat, "There's no gearbox, so there's no need to shift gears. I've set up several speed changes with the cruise control. Take a look here..."

Chen Mu had never driven a car, and although he personally modified this truck, he wasn't quite sure how it would perform in the end.

By the way, that chubby guy Yuan, also contributed a lot to the modification of this vehicle. He wasn't just bragging; he indeed had strong talents in mechanics and hands-on work. No wonder he used to hang out with the "modification freak" Mr. Wan.

Chen Mu also wanted to learn to drive, so he stood outside the driver's seat, listening to Tang Jing's explanations.

"I have divided it into three speeds. The fastest gear is 1.2 yards, suitable for fast driving on relatively flat surfaces. The second gear is 0.7 yards, a medium speed, and the last one is 0.3 yards, for driving on rough or muddy roads."

Anyone who has played with toy cars knows that with a vehicle of this size, once the speed is too fast and there are slight bumps on the road, it will flip over. Tang Jing had considered all aspects before designing it this way.

Afterward, she explained the other features one by one.

"Alright, let me try it."

Wei Dalei couldn't wait any longer and squeezed into the driver's seat as soon as Tang Jing got off the truck.

The people surrounding the truck saw that it was not moving even after some time, so they were about to go up and check. Suddenly, the truck surged forward and then turned, heading into the distance.

What felt different from before was that driving such a large vehicle, they could hardly hear the engine sound, giving it an electric car-like feeling.

"Actually, some tasks can be assigned to others," Chen Mu said.

"I know, but everyone is already very busy. They also need time to practice their abilities. Take Du Jiajia, for example, I've already entrusted all the kitchen tasks to her, and she still needs to meet with Xiao Huang and Xiao Bai every day. She really can't spare any time. Zhao Xiaoyan is now in charge of duty, and He Ying is responsible for inspecting the large equipment. Lushan takes care of the sanitation in the living area, and Xue Xu is in charge of the toilet hygiene... Sigh, there just aren't enough people."

"Our development speed has exceeded the population's capacity. Indeed, there might be a phenomenon of being overwhelmed. Right now, everyone is working under a heavy load, and in the long run, it's not ideal." Tang Jing pondered for a moment and said, "I think maybe we should change our approach."

"What approach?"

"We always think about having our current members handle all the tasks, but it's entirely unnecessary. Since Qiming will inevitably continue to develop, maybe we should learn from Qingbei."

"What should we learn from them?"

"Proactively recruit survivors," Tang Jing said.

"But are there still scattered survivors in the school?" Dong Junwei asked.

"There should still be some, and have you heard what An Ruosu said? Qingbei has assigned our location as Assembly Point No. 9, which means there are at least eight other survivor groups similar to ours. They may not be as strong as us, but together, their numbers will not be insignificant."

"That's worth considering, but we don't know where those eight points are. We don't have as many people as Qingbei, so we can't dispatch a large number of personnel to search."

"Where there's a will, there's a way."

Tang Jing smiled, "Besides, if worse comes to worst, we can go and compete... um, poach from Qingbei. I reckon their auxiliary ability users would be very eager to have an opportunity to switch sides."
