After a night of discussion, Gu Zhuo and others finally made a plan.
Gu Zhuo decided to send Akashi on his last journey, sending him to the survivor base in Beicheng. If the survivor base was really a trap, then Gu Zhuo's doomsday fortress could at least protect Akashi's safety.
If everything broadcast from the survivor base is true, Akashi can stay in that base.
Anyway, regardless of whether it was true or not, they agreed that once Akashi was sent to the base in Beicheng, they would part ways. Gu Zhuo went back to retrieve the two oil tankers, and Akashi stayed in Beicheng to look for new development opportunities.
It's not a problem for Akashi to rely on him all the time. Akashi naturally knows it in his heart.
After the discussion, at eight o'clock the next morning, in order to save time and avoid risking the risk of traveling at night, the three of them packed up and prepared to set off.
Beicheng is to the south of City A, separated by two expressways. If you drive from the expressway and drive faster, you can probably arrive at around four o'clock in the afternoon.
But this is unless something unexpected happens. After all, the highway may have been closed for a long time and is prohibited from use. It is not known whether there will be other vehicle wreckage on the highway.
No matter what, take the highway first and try your luck. If it doesn't work, there is another road leading to Beicheng under the highway.
In order to save fuel in the Jeep Wrangler, Gu Zhuo did not modify the fuel tank of the car after all, so he found a tow chain and towed the Wrangler behind his fortress of doom. He decided to let Akashi sit in the Wrangler and drag the Wrangler all the way there.
.
At first, Akashi was worried that Gu Zhuo's Doomsday Fortress might not have enough oil, but Gu Zhuo confidently told him that it was fine and asked him to just sit in the car.
After thinking about how big things like the Doomsday Fortress had been modified like this, and the fuel tank must have been modified, Akashi felt relieved.
After dragging the Wrangler, Gu Zhuo sat back on the Doomsday Fortress, while Akashi sat on the Wrangler. The two left walkie-talkies with each other so that if anything happened, they could communicate at any time.
Sitting on the Doomsday Fortress, Gu Zhuo started the engine, Chao Ying was still sitting next to him.
"Tell me, will you encounter other survivors along the way?"
Chaoying fastened his seat belt and asked Gu Zhuo.
Gu Zhuo shrugged:
"I don't know. I hope I don't meet other survivors. After all, you don't know whether you are meeting someone like Liu Yihu or someone like Akashi. In short, if you don't handle it well, it will become a big trouble."
"Yes, but I think even if there are survivors, they should be in the wait-and-see stage now. There should be only a few people like us who rush over as soon as we receive the news."
Chaoying's words are quite reasonable.
After all, people are now in panic, no one knows whether the news is true or false, and monsters appear at night, making it impossible to go on their way. Most of the remaining survivors dare not set out for Beicheng rashly.
Only a confident person like Gu Zhuo dared to take this risk.
While the two were talking, Gu Zhuo drove towards the highway leading to Beicheng.
Akashi, who was sitting in the Wrangler, was half-lying on the driver's seat. His remaining right hand held the gun and looked at the fortress of doom that was dragging him forward.
I have to say that just by looking at the appearance, you can feel the sense of security that the Fortress of Doom gives people. When Gu Zhuo told himself that there was only him and a woman in the car, he was in sadness and there was not much else.
Feelings.
Now that he had reacted, he belatedly marveled at how powerful this young man's hands-on ability was. It only took him a few days to make such a big change to the car body.
If I had such ability, maybe those survivors would not die...
Thinking of this, Akashi once again fell into melancholy, staring at the Doomsday Fortress in a daze.
...
After driving for about an hour, we arrived at the entrance of the highway. There were not many car wrecks on the highway. I guess it was because the news at that time called on everyone to stay at home and not many people went out.
However, the highway is covered with snow. Although it has not been as cold as before in the past few days, the temperature has always been at a low temperature and has never risen again. If we want to return to the normal temperature before, we still don’t know.
How long will it take?
"Gu Zhuo, with this level of snow, will your tires slip?"
As soon as we arrived at the highway entrance, Akashi's voice came over the intercom.
"It won't slip. It's okay. My car is equipped with chains to prevent it from slipping. I also installed chains on the tires of your Wrangler. As long as I don't drive too fast, there will be no problem with the two cars!"
After saying that, Gu Zhuo continued to step on the accelerator without paying much attention to the snow on the ground.
Akashi originally had a little worry, but as the Fortress of Doom drove more smoothly on the highway, his worries quickly dissipated.
The two cars maintained an appropriate distance between them and drove leisurely, one behind the other.
Gu Zhuo looked at the time and route map and estimated that he would arrive in Beicheng around four in the afternoon.
No other survivors were seen along the way. It seemed that Chaoying's guess was correct. The others were still staying at home with no intention of coming out.
There were no accidents along the way, and the driving was somewhat boring. In order to avoid visual fatigue, Gu Zhuo took out his sunglasses and put them on, turned on the music player in the car, and started playing songs.
The first song played was "ifihadaheart", which is the opening theme of the Canadian drama "Vikings". The song is low, like Satan whispering in the ear, and it is Gu Zhuo's favorite tune.
Listening to this song and driving the Doomsday Fortress on the snow-filled highway, Gu Zhuo felt that he had never been so safe and comfortable since the doomsday happened.
As soon as Chaoying heard this song, he asked in surprise:
"You also watch "Vikings"?"
Gu Zhuo never thought that there were women watching such dramas, so he nodded.
The two quickly began to communicate with each other about the series itself. This was the first time in a long time that the two of them talked about anything other than the end of the world.
The conversation continued, starting with "Vikings" and then on to other hobbies. After chatting with Chaoying, Gu Zhuo realized that she was also a hardcore game enthusiast.
"You can go play on the computer in my car. It is full of hardcore games that I have downloaded in advance. Even if you play it alone, it will not reduce the fun at all."
Gu Zhuo seemed to have met a close friend and kept talking.
He had originally downloaded these games in advance to prevent himself from getting bored alone. They were all time-killing games that could be played for a long time. Unexpectedly, he would now meet a similar person.
The two chatted all over the world, and they felt as if they had met each other late.
The reason why Gu Zhuo was single for the first few decades of his life was because he felt that he had nothing in common with women.
Most women care about idol dramas and idol singers, which are exactly the topics that Gu Zhuo cares about least. And most women are not willing to know about the things he likes.
Gu Zhuo also knew that there were still women who were willing to understand his preferences and like these hardcore elements, but it was a pity that he had never met one.
I don't know whether he is lucky or unlucky, but it was only after the end of the world that he met a woman who he could talk to so well for the first time.
