"Captain Liu, would you like to send a car ahead to explore the road, stand in front of the convoy, check the road conditions and wait?" Tong Guanfeng found Captain Liu who was checking the preparation of each vehicle.
"Vice President Tong, I also have this idea, but our fleet only has three light trucks that can be sent out, and they are all loaded with repair supplies. If the fleet needs it, it is really inconvenient to rush back!" The captain had no choice. After all, he can
There are only three vehicles mobilized.
"Let's do this. I'll go with you and let Xiao Zhou sit in my off-road vehicle to explore the road ahead. What do you think?" Tong Guanfeng thought for a moment and realized that his off-road vehicle was the best tool at present, so he immediately offered to take the vehicle himself.
vehicle and let the off-road vehicle explore the road ahead.
"Vice President Tong, Xiao Zhou is not from a racing team. I'm afraid there are some things that I may not be able to understand. Why don't you let me go to the front to explore the way?"
"In this way, you two can go together so that you can have someone to take care of you! In addition, you can also switch with the driver. He will also have a hard time along the way!" Tong Guanfeng said.
Captain Liu and Xiao Zhou set out in advance to explore the road in Tong Guanfeng's off-road vehicle, while Tong Guanfeng rode in Captain Liu's repair vehicle, making the other technicians on the vehicle very nervous.
After all, the vice president of a group company was sitting with a group of repairmen like them, which seemed a bit out of place.
However, when everyone saw that Tong Guanfeng did not mind the smell of oil in the car at all, and even pulled a worker's military coat to cover himself, not caring about the dust stains on his valuable suit.
At this time, everyone's nervousness slowly calmed down, and they all felt that Tong Guanfeng was an approachable and good leader.
Although the co-pilot position is the most dangerous in the vehicle, for a light truck, this position is the most comfortable. Regardless of his position or age, it is natural for Tong Guanfeng to sit in this position.
"Then I'm welcome!" Tong Guanfeng didn't refuse too much. He didn't get a good rest last night. Now that the team has changed its route, there are probably a lot of things on the road. Let's take a rest first.
The off-road vehicle in front accelerated and opened a road about three or four kilometers ahead of the convoy, checking the surrounding terrain and road conditions. The most important thing was to observe whether there were any conditions on the road that the convoy could not pass.
The traffic situation on the national highway is indeed not as good as the expressway. Various vehicles and pedestrians are mixed in. From time to time, some agricultural vehicles and bicycles will appear, as well as motor vehicles crossing the road at will. Coupled with the influence of weather conditions, the movement of the entire convoy will be hampered.
The speed is much reduced.
The only good news is that the motorcade continued to move in the direction of Longbin City. According to the news from the traffic radio, the highway was still closed and the specific time had not yet been determined.
Hearing the news, everyone breathed a long sigh of relief. Fortunately, they ran out last night, otherwise their current situation would have been very miserable. Let alone finding a place to rest, even having a hot meal would have become a luxury.
.
Listening to the low whispers of the repairmen around him, Tong Guanfeng leaned on the seat to rest with his eyes slightly closed. The drizzle outside still didn't stop, and the ground was very slippery. Several times, he could hear the transport truck escaping from scurrying pedestrians.
There was a harsh sound caused by the sudden braking, but fortunately the speed of the convoy was not fast and it did not cause unnecessary trouble.
Near noon, the motorcade slowly stopped. Tong Guanfeng glanced at the roadside and saw Xiao Zhou and Captain Liu walking quickly towards this side.
"Vice President Tong, there is no suitable parking place for the next 20 kilometers. Let's take a break here, have some food and check the vehicle. What do you think?"
"Okay!" Tong Guanfeng got out of the car. A gust of cold wind hit him, making him shiver. The temperature difference between inside and outside was still a bit big.
He raised his head and glanced at the sky. It was gloomier than in the morning, which showed that the cold air still showed no signs of relief.
"Vice President Tong, I have contacted the Longbin headquarters. It has started to snow about two hundred kilometers ahead, and the snow is quite heavy!" Xiao Zhou came to Tong Guanfeng and reported the depressing news to him.
.
"Is it snowing?" What Tong Guanfeng was most worried about finally happened, "Is it on our route?"
"Yes!" Xiao Zhou nodded, "It happens to be on our route, but Captain Liu and I have carefully studied it. There are no mountains in the snowy area, only some occasional hills. The road conditions should be pretty good!"
"That's good!" Tong Guanfeng looked at his watch, "Let everyone eat immediately and rest for half an hour before setting off. In addition, you can prepare some spare food, instant noodles and so on. Bring more, we have to be prepared!
"
Hearing that it started to snow ahead, the drivers became nervous. After eating, they immediately checked all the vehicles and prepared all the anti-skid chains so that they could be used in time when necessary.
Before departure, Tong Guanfeng and Captain Liu once again inspected all the vehicles in the fleet and even reinforced the bundling of equipment in the containers to avoid problems along the way.
After everything was ready, the convoy started again. In order to hurry up as much as possible, Tong Guanfeng asked Captain Liu to speed up as much as possible while ensuring safety, so as to pass the snowy road earlier.
A few hours later, the off-road vehicle in front sent a message that snow had begun to fall ahead, and some snow could be seen on the ground, but it had little impact on the vehicle's driving, and the convoy could continue moving forward.
Tong Guanfeng looked worriedly at the surrounding area, which had begun to be covered with snow. The number of pedestrians and vehicles on the road had significantly reduced, which also provided the team with some opportunities to move forward quickly. Facing the road that was already covered with snow, the team tried its best to keep their distance.
While moving forward at a constant speed, the distance between each vehicle is also widened, and be prepared to brake in advance.
As the convoy continued to move forward, the snow on the road began to increase, and the original road surface could no longer be seen, only the ruts left by various vehicles.
The transport truck has a large number of tires and has good anti-skid performance. As long as it does not brake suddenly, there will be no problems in driving.
As the sky gets darker, the vehicles on the road turn on their lights. Under the light, you can see countless snowflakes flying in the air and falling on the vast sky and earth, whether it is roads or houses,
The fields and grasslands are all covered with layers of snow.
Looking around, there is almost nothing visible except the convoy that is slowing down.
"Vice President Tong, there is a hotel five kilometers ahead, but the venue cannot accommodate so many of our vehicles, so we can only go in in batches. It is too dangerous to park on the roadside in this weather!" The off-road vehicle parked lightly next to the truck and drove.
Captain Liu spoke loudly to Tong Guanfeng.
"Then let's eat in batches so that everyone can hurry up!" Tong Guanfeng said.
"Okay! I've asked Xiao Zhou to be responsible for the response over there!" Captain Liu glanced at the convoy behind him, "Vice President Tong, we have some bad news!"
Tong Guanfeng was afraid of hearing these words, but now he was not afraid of something happening, but how to solve it.
