#1815 - You're not a good driver!

Large camphor tree base.

Li Yu has learned about their latest situation through the judge.

He was not angry because the judge directly ordered Ant and others to go find the fallen meteorite.

When he was fighting outside with his combatants in the early years, he understood one thing very well: when fighting outside, things changed too quickly and many times one could only act according to the exigencies of the situation.

If the Judge were to tell the headquarters about the discovery of the fallen meteorite and then wait for the headquarters to make a choice, he might miss the best time to find the meteorite and would also delay the trip to Palau.

What's more, Li Yu gave the Judge full command authority before he set out. After leaving the big camphor tree base, he could make his own decisions and was given enough autonomy.

Meeting room.

Li Yu, his second uncle, his eldest uncle, Lao Lu and others gathered around the table.

In the center of the table was a huge world map with several red dots marking areas such as the Philippines. These locations were exactly where the judge and his men had reported.

Lao Lu stroked his chin and said:

"It seems that Instructor Judge's plan is the most suitable. The spiral propulsion vehicle is fast and light. Even if the electronic beacon fails and becomes ineffective, they should be able to return along the original route and find the Judge and others along the track."

Due to its huge size and weight, the Behemoth leaves behind deep pits three meters thick and eight meters wide wherever it passes, which is very eye-catching.

My uncle exclaimed: "Yes, it's amazing that they were able to come up with it in such a short time and issue the order immediately."

Li Yu's eyes flickered with anticipation.

If the ants can find the meteorite from outer space, there will be no obstacles in the road to developing vaccines at the camphor tree base.

Once the zombie vaccine is developed, they don’t even have to look for the Northwest Base.

And with the zombie vaccine, they no longer have to worry about mutating after being bitten by zombies, and the fight between them and zombies can be either offensive or defensive.

Although the large camphor tree base has been developing and becoming stronger over the years.

But from the perspective of humans, zombies become stronger every time after a rainstorm or an extreme natural disaster, but the overall strength of humans is declining, and the population is decreasing.

One is getting stronger, the other is getting weaker.

If this continues, and if the growth of the camphor tree's power cannot keep up with the zombies' growth, it will be destroyed one day.

Therefore, it is crucial to obtain meteorites from outer space.

My second uncle was listening nearby, without interrupting or expressing any opinions.

He didn't understand combat and rarely left the Dazhangshu base. He rarely interfered with missions outside.

At this point, he saw that the discussion on this matter was almost over, so he opened his mouth and said:

"Two things."

"The first thing is that a Level 5 person in the buffer city committed suicide by jumping off a building. After the patrol team investigated, they ruled out homicide. The reason for suicide was that this person was an introvert and had been staying in his room for a while. He might have developed psychological problems. Both Lao Lu and Lao Liu knew about this."

"I think that being in a confined space for a long time can easily lead to psychological problems. Some people with distorted psychology may even do extreme things. I think we should pay attention to this issue to avoid major consequences."

After listening to this, my uncle frowned and said:

"I don't think it's necessary to go through so much trouble. That person's suicide was a special case. There have been lockdowns before, and the lockdowns lasted even longer. Even the previous partners could only squeeze into the greenhouse without even a bed, and they still managed to get through it."

The second uncle shook his head and said:

It's just a habit!

In the past, the Big Camphor Tree Base didn’t care about the lives of members below level three. After all, at that time they only had a cooperative and mutually beneficial relationship with the Big Camphor Tree Base.

Whenever a natural disaster strikes, at most they are forced to squeeze into greenhouses for shelter, or even if they encounter a riot, they are killed directly.

Now they not only have a place to live, but also provide heating, beds and food. Although points are charged, their living conditions are better than before.

But it feels like these guys have become more vulnerable.

trouble!

Second Uncle sighed and said, "There are already enough snow removal workers, and the snow in Buffer City will only take another week at most to be completely cleared."

"My idea is that we still need to pay attention to the psychological problems of the people in the base and avoid the emergence of extreme personalities."

"For example, we can set a fixed time every day for the psychological counselors in the base to speak for one or two hours, or have people read some positive texts and pass them on to everyone through the broadcast."

"We can also have people write some articles praising the Great Camphor Tree Base or the City Lord and share them with everyone to deepen their loyalty to the base. This will also serve an educational purpose."

"Anyway, the cost of this is very low."

"And I think psychological issues are very important. Even though it hasn't happened before, it doesn't mean that this problem doesn't exist."

"Now that it has happened, we have to find a way to avoid it."

After listening to his second uncle's words, Li Yu felt that there was some truth in them.

But he also felt that it was a waste of manpower for people to stay indoors all the time.

"How about this, Second Uncle."

"I agree with your suggestion."

"Also, ask the staff at the mission hall to research and come up with a plan for what else can be done indoors, such as handicrafts, weaving, etc."

"What Lao Lu and my uncle said just now is right. They are just too idle. We can't let them idle. We have to find work for them!"

The second uncle thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, that's settled."

My uncle and Lao Lu next to them looked at each other, said nothing, and continued to look at the map with their heads down.

"Uncle, what's the other thing you said?"

The eldest uncle and Lao Lu raised their heads again and looked at the second uncle.

The second uncle said in a bad tone:

"According to Anya's feedback, rats were found in the greenhouses in the Fourth Outer City and the Buffer City."

Philippine Island.

East of Manila.

Ant and others drove a screw-propelled vehicle and shuttled across the ice field.

Their vehicles are relatively light overall, and the chassis is not a bulky track-type design. Instead, it uses high-strength hollow steel tubes. When they travel across the snow, they almost slide across it, and look very light.

The sinking depth of the whole vehicle will not exceed forty centimeters.

soon.

They crossed the coastline and arrived at the foot of the Snow Mountain.

Ant looked at the snowy peaks ahead and said to Li Leqi who was driving the vehicle:

"Speed ​​up and rush forward!"

Li Leqi stepped on the accelerator to the bottom and the car rushed towards the snowy peak.

Their car was like it was wearing skis, floating up the mountain.

Next to them is Nut's vehicle.

Two screw-propelled vehicles were traveling side by side.

The vehicle nimbly dodged the few protruding trees on the snow peak at a very fast speed.

The moment he reached the top of the snow peak, Li Leqi released the accelerator and gently stepped on the brake.

Go down the mountain.

whoosh!

Even though he stepped on the accelerator, he couldn't stop the abundant power.

The spiral propeller took off into the air, flew nearly six or seven meters, and hit the downhill slope heavily.

The speed of going down the mountain was getting faster and faster, even to the point where the car body began to shake violently.

Li Leqi watched the speed soar from 60 miles per hour to nearly 100 miles per hour, and he habitually wanted to step on the brakes.

"Don't brake!" The ant predicted his action and warned:

"On the way down the mountain, emergency braking can easily cause the car to overturn, and the braking system of this car is different from that of a regular vehicle."

The corkscrew-type vehicle doesn't even have tires, and the braking system works by lowering the fenders in the middle and rear sections to forcefully scrape the snow for braking.

"Oh, okay." Li Leqi quickly took his feet away.

Hold the steering wheel tightly to steady the car.

The steep slope descends, and the speed increases.

What's more, this screw-propelled vehicle has extremely low friction, and its speed has been soaring, even reaching 120 miles per hour.

This is something that has never been achieved in previous tests of this car.

The vehicle was like a sharp sword, cutting through the snow-capped peaks.

The other car was driven by Nut himself, and his skilled driving skills kept the car body stable.

We are about to reach the foot of the mountain.

Looking at the sharp turn ahead, Ant took a deep breath and said, "Brake!"

They had to slow down, otherwise, if they passed the turning point at this speed, they would either crash directly into the steep snow slope in front, or turn at a very fast speed and cause the car to overturn.

Li Leqi followed the ant's instructions and applied the brakes.

The fender under the chassis kept sliding up and down, and with reverse braking, the speed of the car finally dropped to about 100 yards, and as the ground became flat, the speed gradually slowed down.

Finally, at the bend, the speed of the car dropped to 80 miles per hour.

Li Leqi gently turned the steering wheel, and the car body tilted 37 degrees to the right. The people in the car fell to one side, and it looked like the car was about to overturn.

Suddenly, he stepped on the brakes hard, and the right fender hit the snow, playing a supporting role, click!

The right brake fender broke under the weight of the vehicle.

But the car body returned to stability in an instant, and I still felt a lingering fear.

The vehicle finally stabilized and everyone inside breathed a sigh of relief.

Researchers Zhao Ke and Liao Fan, who were traveling in the car, grabbed the seats with both hands, sweat oozing from their foreheads.

I thought to myself, no wonder I let them sit on the Big Mac before.

This snow corkscrew vehicle is so fast, who would have thought it would drift so fast and be so powerful.

It can reach speeds of up to 120 miles per hour on the snow, with the car body shaking violently.

I really don’t know how the people in this car managed to survive these days.

In comparison, the behemoth is so stable, as if it were walking on flat ground.

Except for very rare collisions, they hardly felt any vibration in the car, which was not much different from the feeling on land.

But they forgot that the spiral-propelled vehicle was only traveling at a speed of 30 miles per hour, following the giant.

whoosh!

On the other side, Nut glided over in a spiral propeller vehicle.

Sizzle, sizzle—

"Ant, I just saw you guys almost flipped over from behind, and I also found your brake fender was broken. Why don't you stop and replace the fender?"

After hearing what Nut said, Ant asked Li Leqi to try braking.

Sure enough, the braking effect was much worse.

Seeing the hillside ahead, the ant made a prompt decision, picked up the intercom and said:

"Nut, you guys go ahead. I'll have someone replace the fender. We'll come find you later based on the electronic beacon."

"That's fine." Nut put the car intercom back into the socket above his head.

Drive the car towards the 2 o'clock direction.

rustle--

The No. 4 spiral propeller slowly stopped in the valley between the snow-capped peaks.

Looking at the snow-capped peaks on both sides, the ants guessed that the place where they were should have been a river in the past, but it was covered by ice and snow.

Jiuge and Song Ziming, who specialize in vehicle maintenance, were not in this car, but Zhang San, an expert in electrical systems, was in their car.

He is also one of the designers and manufacturers of this vehicle and is quite familiar with this screw-propelled vehicle.

Although he can't be as comprehensive and professional as a professional mechanic, replacing a brake fender is a piece of cake for him.

"How long will it take?" Ant asked as he looked at Zhang San who was taking a replacement brake fender from the spare parts storage room.

"It will only take ten minutes at most. It's very quick to replace the brake fender." Zhang San took out the brake fender.

This is a curved steel plate similar to the bottom of a paddle, which brakes by rubbing against the snow.

"Okay, hurry up, let's try to catch up with Nuts and the others!"

"Uh-huh."

"Li Leqi, Sun Erzhang, the two of you go down together to protect his safety." Ant looked at the two commandos.

The two nodded and quickly ran to change into self-heating clothes.

The self-heating clothing has a very powerful function. The thickness of the clothing is less than one centimeter, but it can ensure that they can be isolated from the cold after wearing it. The area close to the skin can be kept at around 26 degrees and can continue to provide heating for 48 hours.

It is extremely convenient even if you only wear a short-sleeved shirt underneath, or even nothing at all.

This self-heating one-piece suit covers the entire body except the head, and you can put it on completely.

The three of them put on self-heating clothing and wore cold-resistant hoods and masks on their heads.

Wearing snow boots, Sun Erzhang and Li Leqi got out of the car holding submachine guns, while Zhang San got out of the car holding a repair box and brake fenders.

Get off the car.

Because of the location on the river valley, the wind gathered and a cold wind blew.

But they didn't feel much, they just felt the wind blowing and their clothes were dented and sticking close to their skin.

Wearing the self-heating clothes, you will feel warm and safe.

There are spiral steel pipes on both sides of the spiral propulsion vehicle. To replace the brake fender, you can only get in through the front and rear of the vehicle.

Zhang San didn't waste any time and went under the car with the repair box.

Sun Erzhang and Li Leqi, each on one side, held a gun and looked to the left and right to avoid sudden attacks from humans or zombies.

Sun Erzhang looked into the distance. The sky and the earth were vast. Endless white snow covered the earth, like a huge white desert.

The snow on the ice field is piled up layer by layer, as if time has frozen at this moment, leaving behind a quiet and mysterious world.

The snow-capped peaks stand tall and majestic, like the backbone of the earth, tall and proud.

The snow on the top of the mountain sparkled in the sunlight, dazzling.

Occasionally, a strong wind blows, and the snow slides down from the top of the peak, pouring down like a waterfall, magnificent.

The snow in the valley glides gently over the snow, like sand in the desert.

After a while.

Sun Erzhang said suddenly:

"Old Li, you're not a good driver!"

Li Leqi coughed and said, "If you have the guts, come and open it!"
