After moving into the village several times and preparing everything they needed, Gao Yuan and the others prepared for the expedition.

Yes, it's an expedition, because the straight-line distance is only forty kilometers, but the road is not flat, and it is almost impossible to follow the road all the time. If you go around when you see a village, you may still need to walk how many kilometers.

Calculating this way, it would take at least three days to walk back and forth.

People who are accustomed to traveling by car, plane, or train will feel extremely painful when they have to walk on two legs again. This is called transitioning from frugality to luxury, but transitioning from luxury to frugality is difficult.

"Finally check the equipment, food, drinking water, tools, weapons, and vehicles."

It was just dawn, and everything had been prepared yesterday, but according to Xiang Weiguo's habits and rules, all items must be checked, so that there would be no possibility that he would forget to bring something when the emergency comes.

"Everything is ready."

"Set off."

Luo Xingyu also carried a lot of things on her back. This was her first time traveling far away, so she was very excited. She walked very fast at the beginning, even bouncing before walking.

The first stop was the village that Gao Yuan and the others used as a warehouse, so it took more than two hours of walking to get to the village first.

Why do we have to go over the mountains to the village first instead of walking down the mountain directly? Because there are bicycles in the village, not tricycles, and tractors.

Therefore, laziness is definitely a major driving force for human technological progress.

After a strong electromagnetic storm, it is impossible to drive this car, because there must be computers and various electronic components in today's cars. Now, these things with electronic components cannot be used.

But agricultural three-wheelers and tractors with hand cranks can be used.

The entire village had been rummaged through by Gao Yuan and the others, and all kinds of useful things were moved to their homes without any ceremony. As for three-wheel tractors and the like, of course they could be used as long as they were available.

Gao Yuan didn't want to walk there on two legs at all, so he would rather go around the village and then break it into sections, and try to have transportation as much as possible.

When we entered the village, we saw a tricycle parked in front of a house.

Nowadays, the conditions in rural areas have improved, and many families have cars. As for tricycles and tractors, it cannot be said that every family has one. At least half of the families have one.

The one Gao Yuan and the others chose was the best tricycle. It had a shed in the front and was very comfortable for two people. It could also accommodate three people. Although it was an electric-activated agricultural tricycle, it also had a hand crank.

There is also a key, which was found in the house, but the electronic key switch must be broken. How to start the tricycle depends on Wei Guo's ability.

Xiang Weiguo fiddled with the cockpit for a few times, then handed Gao Yuan a rocking handle and said, "Shake it up."

Gao Yuan had seen how to start a tricycle with a crank handle, but this was the first time he cranked it himself.

The crank rotated faster and faster, waiting for Xiang Weiguo to continuously step on the accelerator. Finally, after a roar, a puff of black smoke came out of the exhaust pipe of the tricycle.

Along with the sudden sound, Gao Yuan said happily: "Okay!"

The weather was very cold. Luo Xingyu, who was freezing and stamping his feet, just screamed excitedly. When he was about to get on the tricycle, he poured a basin of cold water on Wei Guo.

"Don't be too happy, wait."

As soon as Xiang Weiguo finished speaking, the three-wheeler that had just started the car suddenly stalled.

Gao Yuan was stunned for a moment, and Luo Xingyu said in shock: "What's going on?"

Xiang Weiguo looked at Gao Yuan and said, "Test you, what's going on?"

Gao Yuan slapped himself on the head and said with a frustrated face: "Oh! I forgot that diesel can freeze!"

Luo Xingyu asked in surprise: "What do you mean?"

Gao Yuan said helplessly: "This tricycle burns diesel. It was autumn when the disaster occurred, and the number 0 diesel must have been added at that time. But it is too cold now, and the diesel will freeze. If we don't want to be frozen, we

You have to add No. 30 diesel here, Uncle Xiang, you must have thought of it a long time ago and didn’t tell you earlier.”

Xiang Weiguo smiled and said: "When you encounter difficulties, just solve them. These are all trivial matters. You think about how to solve them."

Gao Yuan said helplessly: "How to solve it? Is it possible to roast it with fire?"

Xiang Weiguo smiled and said: "Yes, it's still roasting with fire. There is no problem with this machine. Come on, light the fire and start roasting. Let the frozen oil melt and you can leave."

Luo Xingyu said with a surprised look on his face: "But it won't explode when roasted over fire?"

"Diesel cars are fine. We roast them over the fire more often."

Xiang Weiguo seemed nonchalant. He lay down on the ground himself, found the location of the oil pipeline, and said, "You light a fire and I'll roast it. It'll be done in a while."

The fire was lit, and after more than half an hour of roasting, the agricultural tricycle started again.

Gao Yuan was a little worried and said: "Uncle Xiang, will it freeze again on the way? Unless we change to lower-grade diesel, we will still have to freeze."

Xiang Weiguo smiled and said: "Let it freeze and then bake it. It's twenty kilometers from here to the next village on the road. I guess we should abandon the car if it freezes somewhere. We'll use it when we come back. Let's go

.”

Luo Xingyu's face was already red from the cold. She jumped into the carriage and said, "It's better to go south. Although they don't have heating, they won't freeze the diesel."

After a long time, Gao Yuan and Luo Xingyu once again felt the convenience of civilized products. Well, although it was just an agricultural three-wheeler, after it was started, the heat from the engine still made the inside of the car very warm.

This tricycle can run very fast. It takes two to three hours to walk, and it takes up to twenty minutes to drive a tricycle.

From time to time, you can see a broken down car on the road. After seeing the first broken down car, Luo Xingyu's face changed. Until the tricycle passed a small bridge, there was a car on the hillside at the end of the bridge.

, it seems that it crashed directly after losing control.

Seeing the car, Luo Xingyu's body suddenly trembled violently, and he quickly lowered his head.

Of course Gao Yuan noticed Luo Xingyu's abnormality, and he said anxiously: "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable? Speak quickly, what's wrong with you!"

Luo Xingyu raised her head slightly, covered her eyes with her hands, and said in a trembling voice: "My mother... is there! She is there! Stop the car, I want to see her, let me see her...

"

Gao Yuan and Xiang Weiguo looked at each other, then Xiang Weiguo sighed and stopped the tricycle. Then he maneuvered on the road, slowed down, and drove slowly towards the small bridge he just passed.

There were still four or five hundred meters away from the small bridge. Xiang Weiguo stopped the three-wheeler and said in a deep voice: "Take all your things with you. You two stay here. I'll go check the situation first. Xiaoyu, there's something in the car."

...Well, forget it, turn on the intercom and I'll tell you to come over again."

Luo Xingyu didn't make a sound, but she was already crying with tears all over her face.

Luo Xingyu wanted to get out of the car, but Gao Yuan grabbed her hard. After getting off the car, Xiang Weiguo picked up the stick and slowly walked towards the car that hit the mountain.

Needless to say, the car is naturally a luxury car, a large off-road vehicle.

Looking from a distance, the doors of the car were closed, and the situation inside could not be seen. This made it difficult to face the reality that Luo Xingyu's mother was probably still in the car.

And living in another way, or dying in a special way.

To put it simply, Luo Xingyu's mother may have turned into a zombie and is still in the car. The most sad and unacceptable result is that Luo Xingyu's mother is still alive in the car in the form of a zombie.

So Xiang Weiguo originally planned to ask Luo Xingyu how many people were in the car, but he didn't ask in the end.

Gao Yuan only asked how Luo Xingyu got to the villa where he lived. He didn't ask about what happened before, and Luo Xingyu never mentioned it on his own initiative.

Just like Gao Yuan never wants to recall what happened to his parents, so Gao Yuan never asks Luo Xingyu what happened to him.

But now, it’s no longer enough not to ask.

"I probably know you came from this way, but I didn't know it was like this. I'm sorry."

Luo Xingyu was very sensible, so she stopped struggling to get out of the car. After hearing Gao Yuan's words, she just shook her head and said nothing.

Gao Yuan whispered: "So...how many people are in the car?"

"There are two more, my mother and Uncle Li, he is the driver."

Luo Xingyu finally spoke, she took a deep breath, and then said in a weak voice: "When Uncle Li was driving, my mother was in the passenger seat. She asked me to sit in the back, saying it was safer this way, and she fell asleep.

Then...then when we walked not far ahead, my mother suddenly got up, turned around and bit Uncle Li without any warning. She was like crazy. Uncle Li crashed the car and he shouted for me.

Run, run, I was so scared that I went to pull my mother, but Uncle Li held her to prevent her from biting me and cried out for me to run..."

As if experiencing the most terrifying nightmare all over again, Luo Xingyu began to tremble violently. Gao Yuan hugged her with one arm, picked up the walkie-talkie with the other hand, and whispered: "Stop talking, stop talking!"

After comforting Luo Xingyu, Gao Yuan said through the intercom: "Uncle Xiang, there are two people inside, Xiaoyu's mother... got sick first, please pay attention! It's over."

"Understood, keep an eye on Xiaoyu, it's over."

There was no need to say anything more, and I couldn't say it anymore, but Luo Xingyu continued to tremble: "My mother was covered in blood, and Uncle Li kept shouting. He asked me to get out of the car, and I really got out of the car. Uncle Li asked me to close the door.

, I closed the car door, and then I felt... I thought... I don't know, I called my mother outside, and I went to pull the car door, but it couldn't be opened. Uncle Li locked it, and I looked at it.

My mother bit out all the bones of Uncle Li, and while she was biting, she was pointing at me..."

"Stop talking!"

Gao Yuan grabbed Luo Xingyu's shoulders and shook him violently, and then he said loudly: "Stop talking, it was a dream! A nightmare! Now you're awake! You're okay, the nightmare is over, do you understand? It's okay!"

Luo Xingyu looked at Gao Yuan, and then she cried heartbreakingly and said, "I can't wake up! I can't wake up!"

Gao Yuan almost shouted: "Wake up! It was a dream! It's over, just forget it! Just forget it!"
