Chapter 148: The Sun Is Out
Although the temperature is gradually rising, it was still over minus fifty degrees when they just set off.
Under the indoor-outdoor temperature difference, the water mist on the windshield had a significant impact on the forward speed.
Poor visibility requires even higher concentration of spirit, fatigue value rises quickly, so for safety, the vehicle speed must be slowed down.
Yu Jiang’s team finally decided that she and Shi Xu, along with Lightning Mage King who can generate electricity with the car, would go first.
The rest of the people would still team up to take the boss, one day is enough, advancing about 200km, by tomorrow the weather will be much better.
There are quite a few vehicles on the parallel road, everyone is rushing forward, few supply boxes can be seen on the road, all relying on quick hands and luck.
Supply boxes on personal roads don’t respawn, but on parallel roads they do, just the positions and times are very random.
Players here have gained experience, once they spot a box, they immediately accelerate and rush over, open it for a quick look, if it’s supplies they swiftly move it away, the whole set of actions flows smoothly, all old hands.
Those who have suffered losses and had boxes snatched by weird tools know,
Sometimes the supply box is already in your arms, suddenly a claw stretches out, grabs it in that instant and retracts into someone else’s vehicle, then speeds away, no counter at all.
Being careless here means eating northwest wind.
There are also those not in a hurry to rush mileage, thinking let the people ahead go first, the boxes that respawn behind won’t be robbed by anyone, and they can collect information from the public screen, crossing the river by feeling the stones of those ahead.
This method has gained agreement from quite a few people on the public screen, there are also reminders,
Black-faced Zhang Fei Squawks: 【Don’t trust others’ information too much, you’ll learn your lesson after being deceived.】
Player 24580: 【Aren’t you just not wanting us to pick up the respawned boxes behind?】
Laughing My Ass Off: 【I think so too.】
Paper Airplane 354: 【@The King Called Me to Patrol the Mountain, I just bought your quilt this morning, then you say the temperature is rising, can I return it, or give me a discount.】
Player 24580: 【I also feel a bit at a loss, just endure 500km and it’s over, no need to spend extra supplies.】
Paper Airplane 354: 【I don’t mean anything else, just feel like it’s warming up soon, us ordinary people saving crystal coins and supplies isn’t easy, returning is indeed not good, big shot how about refunding me some crystal coins?】
The King Called Me to Patrol the Mountain: 【First, I agreed to return, but you disagree, want the stuff and also a discount, your abacus beads hit my face, so aggrieved, don’t rob my supplies next time, I’ve set it up.】
Honest People Don’t Fart in Secret: 【What? You want to return? Return quickly, so I can buy it.】
Walnut Pliers: 【When to return? Before big shot relists it, can you remind us, 60 crystal coins quilt, just a bit used, such a good deal! Didn’t rob one this morning and it’s making me upset, this 500km also needs it.】
Paper Airplane 354: 【I’ve already laid out the quilt, won’t return if no price difference, us ordinary people don’t even dare speak up.】
Yu Jiang frowned, this is why she would discount and bundle miscellaneous supplies to the merchant team, the trading market has all kinds of people.
The King Called Me to Patrol the Mountain: 【First, I agreed to return, it’s you who disagrees, want the stuff and also discount, your abacus beads smacked my face, so aggrieved, don’t rob my supplies next time, settings done.】
Paper Airplane 354: 【I just asked, no need to go that far right? Previously I was especially grateful to you, didn’t expect you to be like this】
Yu Jiang was too lazy to look at what this person said later.
Unrelated strangers, just trading relations, if they can negotiate they can get familiar for long-term trades, if not just part ways, how he sees her doesn’t matter.
Can’t bring her substantial profit anyway, reputation achievement doesn’t lack his bit.
Yu Jiang sat in the driver’s seat, drinking her self-made sugar-free matcha latte, watching the light screen temperature jump to -47, in a good mood.
Beverages aren’t survival necessities, but they can provide her emotional value, soothing her mood.
Long-term in cold, dark environments, really needs this joy, so she’s willing to buy 200 crystal coins for 50g matcha powder.
In less than half a day, the team has already run over a hundred kilometers, in this cold weather with insufficient vehicle kinetic energy, this progress is pretty good.
However, running this far, they only picked up two supply boxes, one iron one silver, the remaining three were all monsters.
In the period when supply box quantity returns to normal, such little harvest, luck is average.
Lightning Mage King needs the hiking shoes in the silver supply box, so he didn’t take the remaining supplies, split evenly between Yu Jiang and Shi Xu.
The silver box also has two bottles of functional beverages, quick stamina recovery, the rest are daily use supplies.
At 11 AM noon, rarely the sun came out, the air is still cold, the north wind still like a knife, can’t feel any warmth,
But the sky is getting brighter, the public screen also has less depression and hostility.
A few days ago, the number of people on the verge of collapse increased, venting-style cursing, repeated complaints, and even late-night incitements to team up and end lives.
Heard that the team was formed, but a few ill-intentioned people sneaked in, looted them clean, calling it helping them out, but the initiator didn’t show up.
Chaotic mess, today’s sun has a feeling of dispelling the gloom, even without knowing what crises lie ahead on this road.
Taking advantage of the bit of sun, Yu Jiang quickly took out the solar photovoltaic panels, laid them on the RV roof.
Temperature too low, panel performance affected, can’t convert much electricity, but better than nothing, save a bit is a bit.
She has 5 photovoltaic panels in hand, two of which were swapped cheaply a few days ago, total 550 watts, on good sunlight days can generate 2 to 3 kWh.
In this weather, probably not even 1 kWh.
The storage battery connected to the photovoltaic panels is for living electricity, can be used for air conditioning, driving still needs battery pack or charging card.
The RV is sufficient for now, no rush to upgrade vehicle, next focus is upgrading configurations, if can improve photovoltaic panel conversion rate, expand storage battery and water tank even better.
Yu Jiang made a plan in her mind during rest, afraid of missing something, specially wrote it down with paper and pen, stuck it on the front control console.
Lunch is shredded potato rolled pancake made by Sad Pig Intestine, plus seaweed noodle soup, still as delicious as always.
Sad Pig Intestine and Han Jiang Gu Ying they are teamed with the merchant boss, not in a hurry to travel, long rest time, Pig Intestine simply set up pot on the spot, heated oil, made team meal, also sold a wave of doomsday lunch boxes.
Cooks are welcome wherever they go is true, Wholesale Wang Defa said, in the future instances can free rent bulletproof vest to him, he absolutely can’t have an accident.
Other doomsday cooks don’t have such rich ingredients, hard to buy, prices very expensive.
Sad Pig Intestine upgraded the vehicle with team help, got quite a few condiments and kitchenware, crafting efficiency up, sales food quantity also more.
Wholesale Wang Defa’s free rent isn’t free, merchants don’t do loss-making business, Sad Pig Intestine sells food to them at long-term cooperation discount price.
