Reborn in the end of the world, I scavenged in the empty city and bought for free
Chapter 567: Worrying Road Conditions
If they include Gu Tongwan and other four people, there are exactly thirty people in their group. However, because most of them have no superpowers, they can only be divided into the "attack group" and the "security group" according to the so-called combat effectiveness. The "attack group" is responsible for the main tasks of exploring the way ahead, while the "security group" is responsible for the security work in the rear.
Originally, Fan Yong planned to let Chen Yanxi and Yan Fan join the "attack team" in the front to explore the way, but Chen Yanxi and Yan Fan refused.
"The reason we're staying with you is simply because it's convenient for us, and it's a little safer with more people. But that doesn't mean we have to listen to your orders. Besides, we have girls here who need to be taken care of." Yan Fan spoke without any mercy and directly rejected Fan Yong's arrangement, which made Fan Yong feel a little embarrassed.
Qin Cong saw that Fan Yong was so angry that he couldn't say a word and his face turned pale. He couldn't help but curse him as "idiot" in his heart.
The two B-level psychics only felt that it would be more convenient to travel because there were more people in the same community. We were the ones who took advantage of them from the beginning. Now Fan Yong is addicted to being a party leader and he even started arranging people. If it were me, I would not be willing to go to the "assault team". Who would feel at ease leaving my girlfriend among a bunch of strangers?
But the atmosphere couldn't be allowed to become tense, so Qin Cong immediately came over and laughed, "Brother-in-law, I think we should let Lao Chen and Xiao Mo lead the assault team. They've worked in the urban management brigade before, so they have some experience." Then he whispered, "They have a girl with them, can they be sent to the assault team?"
Fan Yong was still angry and sneered in his low voice: "Who would go out with girls now? You know that going out this time is risky, but you still bring two girls just to save face. You are simply crazy."
Qin Cong curled his lips, but in his heart he was thinking, "Didn't you agree to let my sister come with you? What right do you have to criticize her?"
"Well, this isn't a big deal. If there's real danger later, they won't just sit there and watch. But it's not right to ask them to join the 'assault team' right now. Besides, we can't arrange for them to do that.
Fan Yong glanced at everyone in the team and saw that everyone was looking at him, so he adjusted his facial expression and nodded towards Yan Fan, with a colder attitude than before. He then rearranged two other people to go to the "attack team" with him.
Liao Yunyun saw through Fan Yong's thoughts from beginning to end, and couldn't help but say to Gu Tongwan with a smile: "See, we haven't even set out for long, but this guy is already trying to command us. If it weren't for the strength of Chen Yanxi and Yan Fan, we would have been made difficult by him a long time ago."
"Well, people are always greedy. Such people can be found everywhere. It's just that Fan Yong's level is not high. He was too eager to show off his power to others, but he couldn't control himself, so he ended up making a joke." Although this incident seemed to be just a small episode on the road, it caught the eyes of everyone. Inevitably, some people would think that Fan Yong was a little arrogant.
Gu Tongwan had seen too many people like Fan Yong, so he was not surprised at the moment and instead turned his attention back to the surrounding environment.
Today's snowstorm is indeed slightly smaller than yesterday's, but it is still not strong enough for people to walk.
However, Fan Yong does have some skills. I don't know where he got two vans from. Several other owners who signed up also drove private cars. I guess it was for this reason that Fan Yong allowed those obviously thin owners to join the team.
Originally, Fan Yong wanted to arrange for Chen Yanxi and Yan Fan to take the first van, but Chen Yanxi drove himself. The jeep he drove belonged to him, a black modified jeep without a license plate.
Fan Yong glanced at the jeep in the rearview mirror. It was obviously superior to all the other vehicles here in terms of performance and style. His face suddenly darkened. Qin Cong next to him was still shocked. "Wow, this car is awesome. The tires are designed to be anti-skid, and it looks like it has been modified to be shockproof. I saw a similar car when the guard headquarters went out of the city to carry out a suppression operation. It is said that it is very expensive. The price of one car is almost the same as that of a house. I didn't expect that the man named Chen Xi is quite rich. It seems that he should have some background. Could he be the son of a rich family?"
After hearing this, Qin Si, who was originally in the back seat, immediately raised her head, put away the makeup mirror in her hand, and said with a smile: "I think so too. Their speech, manners, stature and temperament are all quite good. However, the two women next to them seem a little ordinary. They keep covering their faces and talking. I don't know if they are too ugly to be seen in public."
"But I heard from other owners of Unit 5 in the group that she is really a beauty and seems to be quite pretty." When Qin Cong has nothing to do, he likes to check the owners' group, especially the large group. He likes to chat and brag with the owners of each unit building, so he knows almost everything that happens in each unit building.
After hearing this, Fan Yong moved his body slightly, and his posture was obviously towards Qin Cong. He was probably attracted by this topic.
Seeing her husband and brother showing such expressions, Qin Si immediately sneered: "Why? If she is really a beauty, you can't leave? Or do you have some ideas?"
"Oh, how could that be possible? Look how nervous you are. Are you jealous?" Fan Yong understood Qin Si's personality. Although Qin Si seemed not to care about him on the surface, she actually kept a close eye on him in private. He had to report to her before going anywhere.
Qin Si was too lazy to continue dealing with Fan Yong at this time and pretended to sleep with his eyes closed, but in his mind he was thinking about the scene when Chen Yanxi drove out just now. He had a good figure, high ability, and was a rich young man. He was a thousand times better than Fan Yong in every way.
It's a pity that such a good man is already taken. I don't know if there will be a chance to have a relationship with him in the future.
There were six cars. Fan Yong's car led the way as the "attack team", and the remaining five cars followed closely. Chen Yanxi's car was the third one.
The two-kilometer journey would have taken no more than twenty minutes to drive even in a snowstorm, but unexpectedly, the car encountered a problem when it was still 500 meters away from the destination.
It turned out that the continuous snowstorms had caused the collapse of several private houses on the nearby streets, blocking the only shortcut. If they took a detour, it would take more than an hour, and they didn't know the other road conditions. So after repeated considerations, Fan Yong and others decided to abandon the car temporarily and walk the remaining 500 meters.
A distance of five hundred meters is actually just a few minutes' walk, but the snow is getting thicker and thicker, and we still need to resist the fierce blizzard. When we walk against the wind, we can feel that we are going to be blown away at any time.
Liao Yunyun tightened the collar of her coat a little, took out a scarf from her backpack and wrapped her head completely, then she took another difficult step.
"Can you still hold on?" Gu Tongwan came to Liao Yunyun and raised his voice a little, but even so, his voice was easily swallowed up by the blizzard.
Liao Yunyun nodded, but her expression was not very good. She was not as strong as Gu Tongwan and the others, and she was not a psychic, so she walked slowly. Soon she had opened up a long distance from the others.
Fortunately, Gu Tongwan was always by her side taking care of her. During this time, he even took out a thermos and let her drink some [Spiritual Spring Liquid] drawn from the space. After drinking the water, Liao Yunyun's complexion looked a little better.
"Don't worry, I'm fine. I just lack exercise. I can still walk slowly." Liao Yunyun could hardly open her eyes. She felt the snowflakes hitting her face and poking her eyes.
"If you can't hold on, just tell me and I'll help you walk."
Liao Yunyun immediately shook her head: "Then there's no need for that. I don't want people to think I'm a burden. Besides, I'm not that weak. It's just that the wind is too strong. But how come you're okay? You weigh less than me, right?" Liao Yunyun is 1.71 meters tall and weighs 110 kilograms, which is considered a normal figure. However, Gu Tongwan is only 1.64 meters tall and weighs only 45 kilograms. However, he is stronger than her in both physical strength and endurance. She doesn't know what kind of devilish training her best friend usually goes through.
"I usually train every day, and... I don't sit in the office often, so my body is better than yours." Gu Tongwan thought for a while before using this reason to explain. After all, he couldn't tell Liao Yunyun that he had been so strong in the past few years by hunting mutant beasts, and there were blood vines in his body to maintain his physical strength.
"Yes, I usually sit in front of the computer all the time, and I really lack exercise. If I go back today, I will strengthen my exercise, starting with sit-ups." Liao Yunyun had only walked less than fifty meters and was already out of breath.
"A few hundred meters shouldn't be very far, just hold on a little longer. How about this, if you really can't walk anymore, I'll ask Aoao to come back and give you a ride."
Aoao and Tutu have been having fun outside. They ran following the car from the community all the way here. It seemed that they enjoyed being outside more than in the car. They even ran away at one point.
Moreover, these two are not afraid of blizzards. Their thick fur can even allow them to survive in colder environments, and the special powers in their bodies can maintain heat, making them less sensitive to changes in external temperature.
Liao Yunyun stopped and waved her hands, smiling bitterly, saying, "No, no, I can't afford to lose face. Everyone will see me lying on the dog's back, and I will definitely be laughed at if it is posted to the group. You don't know that the favorite thing for our group of owners is to gossip about others. Last time, a girl from the opposite unit had a quarrel with her boyfriend at the gate of the community and ran to the pond left by the community to water herself to vent her anger. As a result, she accidentally stepped on empty air and fell into the water. Fortunately, a few owners who passed by pulled her back. I thought the matter was over, but the next day someone took a photo and posted it to the group. The girl was so upset that she was said to be embarrassed to go out for several days. There was also a fight between a couple in unit nine, and the wife threw all her husband's clothes downstairs, so the husband had to wrap himself in a bed sheet and go downstairs to pick them up. As a result, someone took a photo and posted it to the group to laugh at her."
"Then your community is quite gossipy." Gu Tongwan couldn't help but laugh.
Liao Yunyun sneered twice, saying dryly, "That's not true. Nowadays, people take advantage of the fact that we are in the end times and there are no Internet police, so they do all kinds of things online, such as spreading rumors, quarreling, and even engaging in CX. Anyway, there are all kinds of people."
Upon hearing this, Gu Tongwan could only smile sympathetically. This was one of the reasons why she didn't want to live in the community in the first place. She had seen many human faces in the end times in the "Bauhinia Community".
Gu Tongwan tried her best to coordinate with Liao Yunyun's pace. At this time, the two of them had opened up a distance of at least seventy or eighty meters from the large group in front. However, Chen Yanxi and Yan Fan stayed where they were and watched them, and observed the surrounding environment.
Fan Yong walked in front of the team and squinted his eyes to estimate the remaining distance. It was probably less than 300 meters. If everything went well, they would reach the destination in a few minutes. But unexpectedly, an accident happened at this moment. Someone in the team shouted, and they found that the team, which was originally arranged in two rows, was separated by a crack about one meter wide and more than three meters long. The man who made the sound just now stepped on empty air and fell into the suddenly collapsed crack.
"How could there be such a big crack here?" Some people stepped back in fear, fearing that they would miss a step and fall into the crack.
Someone else shouted: "Everyone, be careful. The soil here may be loose. Once the snow covers it, the cracks will not be visible. It is very likely to collapse."
"Why are you still standing there? Help! The person is still down there!" someone shouted anxiously.
Fan Yong, who was walking in front, also turned back and came to the edge of the crack. The crack was about four meters deep. He could still see the man's body curled up in pain, and on both sides of the crack he could see that part of the soil layer inside was indeed loose. Perhaps it was because this place was originally on a mountain, and when the base was built they only considered timeliness and did not do any safety testing. After the acid rain period some time ago, rainwater penetrated through the surface cement into the underlying soil layer and destroyed the soil structure, which caused this landslide accident.
"Brother Fan, why don't you make a decision quickly? How do we rescue this person?" Someone began to urge Fan Yong, and some people around him also followed suit.
Fan Yong's face was filled with anger, but he couldn't lose his temper at this moment. He thought to himself, what else can he do? If he went down to save people now, wouldn't he just die?
Just when the atmosphere was tense, a black figure was seen jumping into the crack, and dragging something out at an extremely fast speed. When everyone saw it clearly, they found that it was one of the giant black dogs that had followed them on the road before. However, it was also because of Aoao's "heroic act" that the person who fell into the crack saved his life.
