Chapter 59 Re-planning the route
In the past, they often encountered groups who kidnapped others with love and morality. Regardless of whether the military was present or not, they would try to sell misery and take advantage of it to get what they wanted.

Sun Rui was surprised today.

"That's because it's not safe yet." Zhao Peng could understand Sun Rui's implication, and said in a low voice, "They don't need to worry about something that might fall into the crack."

"That's right." She sat down on her knees and looked around at the people nearby: "When the magnitude of the earthquake becomes smaller, the situation should be different."

"Never mind him." Yao Chengwei clutched a towel and applied a cold compress to the swollen forehead: "We're leaving anyway."

As for the chaos that will happen after the earthquake, it is completely out of their consideration.

He was more concerned about the issue of vigil, so he glanced at Wen Qizhou who was eating bread: "Brother Zhou, who will guard first tonight?"

"There are three of us."

Wen Qizhou has already been arranged.

He didn't want to be separated from Chi Yue, and he was worried that Yao Chengwei and the three would guard together, so he simply separated them, and Xie Changxiao, who had a slightly higher force value, led Zhao Peng and Sun Rui to guard for the rest of the night.

"Then let's go to bed first." In order to change shifts with the three of them earlier, they entered the tent to rest without delay.

The earthquake came too suddenly, and they were all physically and mentally exhausted. As soon as they relaxed and lay down, sleepiness swept over them like a tide.

They fell asleep, while Wen Qizhou hugged Chi Yue, who was tightly wrapped, chatting with Yao Chengwei from time to time.

Not long after, the second wave of aftershocks came.

The magnitude of the earthquake this time was obviously smaller, but they could still feel the shaking of the ground, and they didn't dare to relax their vigilance at all. They raised their flashlights to observe the surrounding situation.

The "creaking" sound of cracking ice made people panic, coupled with the crying of children, all the sleeping people woke up one after another.

Fortunately, the aftershocks didn't last long, and the cracks showed no signs of extending forward, so they didn't need to change places for the time being.

But those who were awakened by the shock could not sleep.

The energetic Xie Changxiao put on his coat and told them to go to sleep, but they had been lying down for less than two hours when the shaking caused by the third aftershock woke them up again.

Repeatedly, the six people were so tormented that they could not close their eyes in peace, and simply sat around on the thick blanket outside the tent and waited for dawn.

"Let's find a house to rest for a while." Wen Qizhou drank a few sips of water, packed up his things and walked to the small western-style building with them.

"Then let me look at the map."

"It doesn't need to be so troublesome." Zhao Peng took Yao Chengwei's shoulder: "The villa they lived in before is very suitable."

"What if it collapses?"

"Let's go there first." Chi Yue raised her eyelids and approached the off-road vehicle: "If it collapses, then find another place."

"Okay." They got into the car separately.

The two vehicles avoided the cracks caused by the earthquake, drove out of the base in a large circle, and drove out facing the light of the morning sun.

Things aren't looking good outside the base, either.

Cracks can be seen everywhere, buildings and advertising screens are crumbling, and many residential buildings have collapsed. It seems that the whole city will be turned into ruins. It is frightening to see.

Xie Changxiao, who was sitting on the co-pilot, picked up the binoculars to observe the road conditions, so as not to accidentally get stuck in the crack.

He showed Wen Qizhou the way, and Wen Qizhou slowed down appropriately. The usual ten-minute journey, but because of a detour, he drove abruptly for four or ten minutes before arriving at the villa area.

Most of the houses in the villa area were intact, and one or two were skewed because the cracks extended to the courtyard gate.

He stopped downstairs in the villa where he used to live.

The car behind followed, but just as Naihe stepped on the brakes, a small crack on the ice surface was crushed into a spider web unexpectedly, and the front of the car sank with a creak.

Half of the front of the car fell into the ice, Yao Chengxu's heart tightened, and he shouted loudly: "Brother Zhou, help us see!"

"It's not a big problem." Wen Qizhou relieved him, called Xie Changxiao to open the doors on both sides together, and helped them down.

Everyone worked together to drag the car back, away from that area, find another place to park it, and then enter the villa together.

There were traces of others coming to the villa, and the air conditioners in each bedroom and the winter clothes and quilts left by the head of the household were all taken away.

But they have no shortage of clothes to keep out the cold, each chooses a bedroom, and lays out bedding or sleeping bags to catch up on sleepiness.

Chi Yue leaned in Wen Qizhou's arms, sniffed the scent of cypress on his body, and fell into a deep sleep with a sense of security.

They slept soundly until the afternoon.

When I woke up again, the golden wheel hanging from the sky poured down a warm light, and the temperature also rose unconsciously.

She shrank back into Wen Qizhou's arms, and cast her eyes on the beam of light squeezed into the gap in the curtain: "It seems to be heating up again."

"Yeah." He lowered his head, resting his chin on the top of her hair, and said in a low voice, "We can start tomorrow."

Chi Yue responded lightly: "Do you still want to sleep?"

"Do not want to."

"Then let's get up and eat something." She raised her arms around Wen Qizhou's neck, motioning for him to hug her up.

Wen Qizhou hugged her and sat at the end of the bed, picked up the sweater and coat next to the sofa, and gently put them on for her.

"Do you want to call them?" he asked.

"Go and see if they are up or not." Since they moved to the base, Xie Changxiao and Yao Chengxu invited them to dinner from time to time, and she never thought about leaving them alone and eating secretly.

"Okay." He then went to the next door and knocked on the door.

Xie Changxiao and Yao Chengwei came the fastest, and the former sat on the sofa with his legs crossed: "What do we have for lunch?"

"La Mei Soup Pot."

"Are there enough ingredients? Not enough, I'll go get them."

"That's enough." Wen Qizhou picked up the ingredients and a bucket of clear water that he claimed was obtained by digging ice, and asked them to help in the kitchen.

After a while of work, the six of them sat down to eat the soup pot.

Chi Yue talked about Beishang: "It is easy to encounter landslides on the highway now. We can't follow the original route. The best way is to go around from the next city."

Detours are definitely time consuming.

But in comparison, the safety factor is higher.

"Yes." Xie Changxiao had no objection, he glanced at Wen Qizhou and Zhao Peng: "How much gasoline do you have left?"

"200 liters."

"We still have 80 liters." Zhao Peng swallowed the bacon in his mouth and calculated: "It can run about six to seven hundred kilometers."

"Then we have to find a way to find it." After all, they have to travel more than 2000 kilometers on the highway alone, let alone detours.

"If it doesn't work, let's replace it with medicine." Yao Chengwei immediately said, "The medicine in my place should be able to exchange a lot of gasoline."

"The current medicines are too scarce, so we should keep them as much as possible. If we can't find them, we can exchange them with others."

"Okay." After discussing the gasoline issue, they re-planned their route after dinner and set off early the next morning.

On their way through the city, they encountered many cars coming out of the base, and those people were also heading in the direction of the next door.

To ensure safety, they keep a certain distance from all vehicles, and they will not stop halfway unless necessary.
