Chapter 72 Crossing the Peninsula(1/2)

[Exclusively published by Jinjiang Literature City]

Two days later, E Country K Peninsula.

Although it is already April, due to geographical conditions and the climate disturbance caused by two meteorite rains, the K Peninsula is colder than in previous years. The three people all put on thermal underwear, cashmere sweaters, cashmere pants, and thin down jackets, and the outermost

Wear windproof and waterproof jackets and pants.

This kind of combination is warmer than wearing a thick down jacket alone, and it is also convenient for movement.

They arrived at T City, Peninsula A, at noon the day before yesterday, and then took a train that went directly to the seaport town. It was a large area with sparsely populated areas, and the meteorite damage was not serious. They bought the train tickets easily.

After arriving, the three of them went straight to the travel agency where they had made a reservation by phone and completed the procedures.

The other party said they needed to wait for two days, so they found a small hotel nearby to stay. They were not idle during the day, listening to various radios, watching the news, receiving news from outside, and at the same time went to the nearby seafood market.

The most famous thing here is probably the king crab, which is not only cheap but also fresh. The second is salmon, which is a type of salmon. The most famous here is sockeye salmon, which is famous for its delicate and fresh meat texture and taste.

In addition, the quality of the fish oil here is also relatively good, and the price is not expensive.

After the three people discussed, they first exchanged part of the e-country currency here, and used the remaining money to buy a box of fish oil, five boxes of king crabs and 20 pieces of fresh red salmon.

In order to make it easier to access, they asked the other party to process all 20 salmon, remove the internal organs, put the heads and tails in one place and pack them into boxes, slice all the other middle sections, put them into boxes for four to six people, and finally pack them into boxes.

Because it was almost dark, they did not need the other party to deliver goods. They bought a pallet truck, stacked all the boxes, and waited until they arrived at a secluded area without surveillance. They covered the uninhabited blind corner and put the boxes on the pallet.

Put them all away.

After the three of them returned to the inn that day, they took out two boxes of sliced ​​sockeye salmon and paired them with the rib-eye steak that Tang Yatong had cooked at the villa, fried kale, pork bone and radish soup, seafood fried rice, and three cakes of different flavors.

Freshly squeezed watermelon juice.

The steak was hot, and the soup was even hot because it was stored in the pot immediately.

The three of them clinked glasses, hoping that the rest of their journey would go well and that they could arrive home safely.

Food can soothe people's hearts and help them find a sense of familiarity and warmth in a strange place.

After that, the visas were issued, and the three of them took a cruise, successfully crossed the strait, and officially set foot on the land of the Central Continent.

They are one step closer to their country.

In the past few days, they have been listening to the radio and watching the news wherever possible.

Even in the interval between forecast days, the entire planet is still unstable. Tsunamis and typhoons appear in low-latitude ocean areas, invading surrounding islands, and dragging down a short-distance passenger plane; some countries that are already in earthquake zones experience frequent earthquakes.

outbreak, making post-disaster reconstruction work very difficult...

These are the subsequent disasters caused by the two meteor showers.

At the same time, they also learned through the radio the calculation method of the relative safety period mentioned by the pilot before. There are still more than two months until the end of the relative safety period.

They narrowed this time again and tentatively set the relative safety period to fifty days. They planned to return to Beijing within this period no matter what.

On the day they arrived at K Peninsula, they bought several detailed maps and went to a local travel agency to find a very experienced tour guide. M was fluent in Mandarin and could also speak a little Beijing Mandarin, so they communicated very smoothly.

You Qi and Tang Yatong spread out their maps, told each other the route through the no-man's land they had consulted and analyzed, and asked if it was feasible.

The other party was surprised by their question, and even more surprised by how well prepared they were, because even if they gave him a car to take, it would basically be this route.

After that, the other party slightly corrected a few places, indicating that these places were known to have been destroyed by meteorite attacks, and then re-corrected the detoured route. He even turned on the computer to query and listed several small roads that were not marked on the map.

The location of the town is also marked.

After that, the other party also told them the best route from this seaport town to the town of Raff, which was the last town that could be repaired before entering the no-man's land.

The railway does not run through the entire K peninsula, so you can only drive half of the way, but there is a train for half of the way. If they want to hitch a ride, they have to get there before eight o'clock in the morning. It is a freight train.

There are several carriages that cars can drive up and take away directly.

This can not only help them save fuel and time, but also allow them to rest on the train and enjoy the scenery along the way.

Of course, you need to buy a ticket to take this "Tailwind Train". The station is not big, and you can see the ticket office after entering.

This news was very good for the three of them. Although they had enough fuel, it was good to have a little more rest. Before they finally left, the other party once again asked them to remember to replenish supplies, especially gasoline, in the final town of Raff.

The people of E country have an adventurous spirit in their bones. I don’t think it’s too crazy for them to want to drive through no man’s land, but I don’t think they can really succeed. They also asked them to buy a signal and grab it. If it didn’t work, they would try to drive to the nearest town on the map.

, if it doesn’t work, turn on the signal and call for help.

As for whether anyone will save them in the end, it all depends on their luck...

You Xi:……

Tang Yatong:......?

You Qi smiled, paid the other party some fees, thanked him and left.

After the three of them left the hotel, Tang Yatong said that it was better to rest for one night before setting off. After all, from here on out, they would probably not be able to sleep on a comfortable bed for a long time. Although the SUV could make do with it, there were other problems in life.

Just keep everything simple.

However, because there is space and they are not short of supplies, the situation is already very good and they cannot be too greedy.

You Xi listened to the two sisters encouraging and comforting each other, and smiled without speaking.

She wanted to give them another surprise after officially entering the no-man's land.

That night, they put the two beds in the hotel together into one large bed. The three of them took a comfortable bath, put on their travel clothes again, put all their belongings away and threw them into the space, and then slept side by side.

Having been protected by air-raid shelters, they always felt insecure after leaving the air-raid shelters.

So since they returned to the ground, they have always slept with their clothes on. Whether they were making the floor at Feynman's house or waiting for visas in Peninsula A, they sometimes took off their coats, and sometimes they didn't even take off their coats.

Fortunately, the clothes the three of them wear now are mainly soft and comfortable, loose-fitting, so it was only a little uncomfortable at first, but it got better later.

They are different from those who have always lived in areas not severely affected by the disaster. They have truly walked through the line of life and death. They walked that road for three hours.

There are charred ruins all around, and there are also deep pits made by meteorites. Some of the soil is like dry gravel, and everything is lifeless and charred black...

To this day, when they dream, they occasionally return to that moment, even You Xi.

In the dream, she was alone, walking on a wasteland. It seemed that she was the only one left in the world. Human beings, animals, and plants were all extinct... The entire planet was desolate.

And they almost became part of those black coke.

Only living humans have souls, and dead humans are no different from objects. This gives them a stronger respect for life and death, so it also makes them more vigilant and ready to escape anytime and anywhere.

At four o'clock in the morning, they woke up to the alarm, washed briefly, put on their assault jackets, windproof hats, scarves and gloves, took out their backpacks from the space, went downstairs and checked out of the room.

This small seaport town was not big, so they got into the car they had entrusted the hotel to call for them, and it only took them more than 20 minutes to reach the edge of the town.

After walking for a while, they took out the SUV through the depression of the mountain nearby, and then replaced it with a fake license plate that they had prepared with money.

This is because before entering the uninhabited land, we will pass through several small towns and have to take a downwind train.

But in fact, everything in the world is in chaos now, and the same goes for the K Peninsula. After the only airport that shortened the distance and could quickly cross the no-man's land was destroyed, most of the resources, material, and manpower of the peninsula were directed there. They wanted to repair and rebuild as soon as possible, but this also

It's not something that happens overnight.

Therefore, the daily public security in the K Peninsula is very chaotic. It is fine in the towns. Once out of the towns, there is no one to control them in the uninhabited countryside. They are just pretending.

The first stop was for You Xi to drive. She was in good health and didn't feel sleepy even after sleeping little. She took out three cups of hot coffee, an egg and bacon sandwich, a cheese and beef burger, and a croissant hot dog according to the tastes of the three of them.

In the early hours of the morning, the temperature outside the car was only ten degrees below zero, and the air conditioner was turned on a little. The three of them unzipped their coats, had a simple breakfast, enjoyed a cup of hot coffee, and then wrapped themselves in a blanket and slept in the back seat as usual.

The person in the passenger seat helped to read the map and pay attention to the road conditions.

Three hours later, the SUV, which had taken a slight detour due to meteorite damage, finally arrived at the train station before eight o'clock.

Continuing to the southwest from here, there is a land that is even more desolate than the previous countryside. At first glance, it is all frozen soil, and only the distant mountains on both sides of the railway track can be vaguely seen.

No wonder people in several towns on Peninsula K close to the strait are trying to get visas to go to Peninsula A on the opposite side. Country E is really too big. It is originally a remote area with few towns and a small population. There are several small coastal areas.

The town is okay, but the further inland it becomes, the more deserted it becomes.

You Xi asked You Qi and Tang Yatong to stay in the car and went to buy a ride ticket.

When they are not around, her [Translation Gum] can actually work. Otherwise, even if she can understand what the other party is saying, it will be useless, because when she speaks, it is still her mother tongue.

Because it was a freight train, there was almost no one at the station, except for a few train crew members, and most of them were in poor spirits.

This is the starting station of the railway, and the train has already stopped there. She drove the car into the compartment smoothly following the steps she asked when buying the ticket.

This kind of carriage is specially designed for parking cars. It has only four metal fences over one meter high and no top. The rear of the carriage can be completely opened and the transitional slope metal plate is lowered, allowing the car to drive into the carriage and then park in sequence according to the position of the floor of the carriage.

Stuck firmly.

After arriving at the destination, the fence in front of the carriage will be opened, and the cars will be allowed to drive out of the carriage one by one.

This kind of train towing car carriages also existed in her native world, but most of them were fully enclosed carriages. This was the first time she had seen an open-top open-air carriage like this.

After the SUV stopped on the train, it had to be turned off. You Xi was afraid that You Qi and Tang Yatong would be cold, so he took out a portable charging heater from the space and let You Qi put it in the back seat, and took out three hand warmers.

After the heater was turned on, the car became warm again.

At eight o'clock, the train left on time, and the next few hours were a very novel journey for them. This is the land in the extreme east of the Central Continent. Apart from this train, there is nothing in the frozen wasteland.

They remembered that a few days ago they were in the densely populated W City, packing coffee in a cafe where the windows were lit a few times, doing crazy shopping in a well-stocked supermarket, and flying in a small plane over a land invaded by meteorites...

At this moment, they were in a car on a train, looking at the boundless sky and wilderness.

The world is so big, but human beings are so small.

"Sister, after we return to China, are we going back to our hometown?" The reason why You Xi asked this is because they are from the south, and their hometown is south of Jingguo. If they go back to their hometown, it means that they still have a lot of things to do after entering the land of Jingguo.
To be continued...
