Chapter 216 Going Abroad
Snow has begun to accumulate on the highway, and many sections of the road in the desert are covered with quicksand, so much so that some sections of the road are actually driven in the desert.
In just over half a year, after losing maintenance, these desert roads can still appear and disappear. In another two years, they will probably be completely buried.
But no matter what, the two cars can overcome these disadvantages and are much faster than bicycles after all.
Without entering any shelters or contacting anyone, the two vehicles spent a week and overcame numerous obstacles that were not difficult to reach the city of Halls.
This is already the westernmost point of China. When you step out of the country, you will reach Kazakhstan.
The international port is inside the city of Hors, but if you want to leave the country, you don't have to go through any port. You can go anywhere on the long border between the two countries.
Gao Yuan was looking with a telescope, Li Jinjiang and Pan Xin were also looking with a telescope, and Zhao Qiang was also looking with a telescope.
There was only Yu Shunzhou. He squatted opposite Li Shuzi and said with a mean smile: "Taoist Master, Brother Li, you can tell us whether it will be good or bad for us to go abroad."
Lizhuzi was helpless and said to Yu Shunzhou seriously: "My common name is Zhang, and my Taoist name is Lizhuzi, so you can either call me Brother Zhang, or Lizhuzi, or you can call me Taoist priest.
Call me Brother Li, isn't it awkward for you?"
"It's not awkward, Brother Li, you can do the math."
Li Shuzi was extremely helpless. He didn't want to talk to Yu Shunzhou, but Yu Shunzhou refused to let him go in the past few days.
"It doesn't count."
"Hurry up, it's time to set off soon. How do you know whether it's good or bad without even thinking about it?"
Rishuko was helpless. He finally took out three copper coins, shook them in his hand and threw them on the ground. Then he just glanced at them and said, "Good luck."
Gao Yuan put down the telescope, and then he looked at Zhao Qiang.
Zhao Qiang also put down the telescope and said: "Our biggest consumption of supplies is diesel, but we have replenished enough diesel at the last gas station. Even if we go to the shelter, we can't replenish much. As for food and drinking water, it is still enough for ten days.
I don’t think it’s necessary to go into the shelter to replenish supplies.”
Of course the gas station has been closed for a long time, not to mention all the gas pumps, all the gas pumps around the world are probably out of service, but there is oil in the underground storage tanks of the gas stations. As long as you open the tank, you will find that there is
Just oil.
Along the way, Gao Yuan and the others emptied two oil tanks, put them all in oil drums, and were pulling them on the truck.
You can take a good rest in the shelter, take a shower, have a hot meal, etc., but it is just a rest, and supplies are not of much use. If you go to the shelter, you may cause some trouble to others, so why not just
Don't go.
Gao Yuan was nominally the commander of this team, but he obeyed Zhao Qiang's words. When Zhao Qiang said not to enter the shelter, he immediately said: "Okay, let's set off."
"etc!"
Zhao Qiang said to Gao Yuan: "Let's change the car. After leaving the country, many things are not as convenient as at home. The car still starts in front, and you guys take the truck."
Gao Yuan was stunned for a moment and then understood what Zhao Qiang meant.
As for this off-road vehicle, it is best to go in front and open the road, and it is best to sit on the vehicle with people with high combat power, such as Li Jingang, Pan Xin, Zhao Qiang and Li Yang.
New recruits like Gao Yuan and others would end up riding in the back of the truck.
He seemed to be looked down upon, but... Zhao Qiang's words seemed to make sense.
"Okay, let's change cars."
Zhao Qiang waved his hand and said: "Pan Xin, King Kong, and Cao Zhenjiang, the four of us will drive the small car, and everyone else will stay in the big car. Liu Deguang will drive, Xinghe and Gao Yuan will be in the cab, and everyone else will squeeze in behind.
"
The environment in the big car behind is not good. Gao Yuan knows that. In his opinion, it is other people's turn to enjoy it.
"No, no, I'll go and sit in the cab, and just let Dr. Wang and Xinghe be in the cab."
These days, no matter who is driving the big car, the most comfortable seat in the cab, the co-pilot, must belong to Wang Ning.
Preferential treatment for intellectuals and doctors seems to be a deeply-rooted concept in every unit and every soldier. Gao Yuan did not want to break this tradition, so he refused to break the rules.
Wang Ning whispered: "No, no, no, really no, actually I'm not that delicate."
Gao Yuan smiled and said: "That won't work. Doctor Wang, you must rest. Get in the car, get in the car."
Zhao Qiang also said from the side: "Don't shoot out easily, but be prepared for battle. The situation we will face after leaving the country is very complicated."
Gao Yuan was about to get into the back of the truck. He just pushed Yu Shunzhou up, but Xinghe stood in front of him silently and was about to get in. This was also expected. Gao Yuan was just about to reach out to help Xinghe.
Xinghe, on the other hand, had already boarded the car.
But seeing Gao Yuan stretch out his hand, Xinghe jumped down again, and then she said to Gao Yuan: "Help me."
So Gao Yuan pushed Xinghe into the car, and then he said to Li Yang, "You go and sit in front."
Li Yang always carried a bag with him, which contained revelations. Li Yang thought for a moment, said nothing, turned around and got into the cab of the truck with Wang Ning.
The truck was a bit crowded. The front half was filled with supplies, and the back half was filled with people. Seven people sat in the truck and it was packed. But luckily, the folding chairs were quite comfortable and allowed you to stretch your legs.
When the car started moving, the truck was definitely much bumpier than an off-road vehicle, and even though it had a hood, the cold wind still blew into the car through the gaps.
In order to avoid the cold, once the curtain on the back of the truck was lowered, the entire shed was so dark that nothing could be seen.
Then Gao Yuan discovered that the most difficult part was yet to come.
In the past, regardless of the road conditions, at least the truck was always traveling on the highway, but now that it was about to cross the border, the truck left the road and drove directly into the farmland on the roadside.
Then the truck inevitably started to bump.
Yu Shunzhou opened a gap in the canvas hood, took a look outside, and said, "I haven't been abroad yet. Let's see what it's like outside."
Nie Erlong also said: "I've never been abroad, I'll take a look too."
Although he has never been abroad, this does not prevent Gao Yuan from despising the two of them.
"You two rubes, what's so interesting about this?"
While despising Yu Shunzhou and Nie Erlong, Gao Yuan said loudly: "Just pull up the curtain and see everyone you want. I've never been out of the country."
The curtain was pulled up, and the cold wind blew in. Xinghe was wrapped in a sheepskin military coat that someone left behind. Then she said in confusion: "The scenery has not changed much, why are you excited."
Yu Shunzhou said without hesitation: "I'm going abroad, of course I have to be excited."
Nie Erlong said with emotion: "I have gone abroad, I don't know if I can still..."
