Chapter 381: It Would Be a Waste Not to Take Them
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Seeing He Xing mark the locations and routes with a pen, Du Yue walked forward and pressed her hands on He Xing’s shoulders. She gently massaged his shoulders. “Hurry up and wash up. After we finish eating, Hl drive after we get on the expressway. You can take a nap.”
“Okay, call me if there’s anything.” Just as the two of them finished speaking, they heard the sound of the door opening. There was no one else in the car, so it must be Xia Ju. Although she had only slept for a few hours, Xia Ju’s face still looked very radiant after washing up.
Whether it was Xia Ju or He Xing, they both put on their wigs after washing up. After breakfast, the three of them walked out of the RV. Du Yue put the RV into her space and the three of them drove toward the expressway intersection. The intersection was blocked by ruins. Du Yue put all those things into her space and threw them on the wasteland beside her. There were many large and small pits on the road, but Du Yue and He Xing were already used to them. As long as the car could drive over them, it was fine.
Du Yue took out He Xing’s car and sat in the driver’s seat. He Xing originally wanted to sit in the passenger seat, but he was stopped by Xia Ju. “I’ll sit in the passenger seat and help Du Yue look around. You should go to sleep!”
He Xing did not stand on ceremony with her. He reclined the back seat, pulled the curtain between the front and back seats, lay down, and closed his eyes. The road was full of potholes, but it was not a big problem.
The route was planned by He Xing in advance. Du Yue only needed to follow the route. It was very simple. Four hours later, He Xing woke up and pulled open the curtain. Du Yue said, “With the current road conditions, the car can’t drive fast. We haven’t even covered half the distance in four hours.”
He Xing rubbed his temples. “Yes, I expected this. At this speed, we should be able to see a high bridge in half an hour. Before we get on the bridge, we’ll stop the car and see what’s going on. Although the expressway is full of potholes, as long as there aren’t too many cracks, we can still drive through. But if the bridge is broken, it’ll be too dangerous to drive on the bridge.”
…..
Du Yue nodded. “Alright! I’ll listen to you.”
20 minutes later, the three of them saw a high bridge. Du Yue stopped the car, and He Xing got out to check the situation. In less than five minutes, He Xing came back with a serious expression. “The bridge is broken. I can’t see the fracture on the other side.”
Du Yue was already mentally prepared for this, so she was not too disappointed. She only said, “Then let’s turn around and take the national highway.”
Under normal circumstances, cars were not allowed to turn around on the highway. However, it had been a few years since the apocalypse. Other than Du Yue’s car, there were no other cars on the expressway. As long as they wanted to turn around, they could turn around anytime and anywhere. After making a U-turn, they drove for another three kilometers before entering the off-road and getting off the expressway.
There was still more than half of the journey left. They had not left the province where the third base was located, but they had reached the border. The provincial roads were naturally worse than the expressway and highway. There were more collapsed buildings and bricks on both sides of the road, and there were also many trees. Before they could drive far, they encountered many trees blocking their way. These trees had long died after they fell. They were dry. It would definitely be good to use them to start a fire. Du Yue did not waste any of it. She directly put all the trees into her space.
Although there was a lot of fuel in the space, these trees were free. It would be a waste not to take them!
They were not in a hurry, so they parked the car in an open space by the roadside at noon. Just as Du Yue was about to take out the RV from her space, she heard the sound of a car honking behind her. Du Yue immediately stopped when she heard the sound. “Someone’s coming.” He Xing nodded. “Let’s wait for them to pass before we eat.”
Xia Ju rolled her eyes impatiently. She was already hungry! She did not expect that they still had to wait. She did not know where the stupid car came from! It was unknown who was driving, but the car honked as it drove, and the speed was very slow. After waiting for another five minutes, the car finally arrived near them. Just when Du Yue thought that the car would finally leave, the car actually drove toward them and finally stopped in the open space beside them.
Du Yue was speechless. There were empty spaces everywhere, why did the car have to stop next to them? The car was parked less than 20 meters away from He Xing’s car. Du Yue was wearing glasses now, so she could naturally see the car clearly..
