Apocalypse: After Being Reborn, I Stocked Up on All Supplies-Chapter 225 - Hi Guys

Chapter 225: Chapter 225 Hi, Guys?

Chapter 225: Chapter 225 Hi, Guys?

Half an hour later, Jiang Yan slowed her riding speed.

She put the snowmobile into her “Space,” and took out a red, track-style snowmobile she had acquired from Chu Hui and his group.

The snowstorm was too intense, and with dawn yet to break, she had only fled on the snowmobile earlier to quickly escape the avalanche.

Now, without the danger of the avalanche, it was more comfortable to proceed by car.

Though the network signal had long been lost, Jiang Yan cautiously took out an anti-eavesdropping device and circled the vehicle with it.

After confirming everything was secure, she then climbed into the driver’s seat.

Hua Bao conscientiously sat on the roof, similarly extending its vines to help her detect the surroundings.

All she could see were white snowflakes, so Jiang Yan drove very slowly.

With Hua Bao acting as a “radar,” there was no need to worry about colliding with any obstacles.

Unwittingly, four hours passed, and the sky gradually brightened.

The snow slightly subsided, but the temperature had dropped even lower.

An empty village appeared in her sight.

Jiang Yan felt a surge of joy in her heart.

According to what Ding Dayong had previously explained, as soon as she reached this village, she would be near to the Flame Base.

The decision to go to the Flame Base was a spur-of-the-moment one, made after she had interrogated Chu Hui and the others.

Initially, she planned to find a place to continue resting and then set off to East Mountain after the blizzard passed.

But now, having listened to the absurd things Chu Hui had divulged, she suddenly felt the urge to visit Flame Base to understand the situation and possibly try her luck.

She might even encounter Ye Qing and Su Dai, one never knows.

Furthermore, according to Ding Dayong, they had escorted plenty of gold and jewels to the base.

The amount was astoundingly large.

It was all stored in a certain area of the Underground City beneath the Flame Base.

Jiang Yan vaguely felt as if some force was compelling her towards Flame Base.

If that was the case, even if it meant walking into a den of dragons and tigers, she would take the risk.

While contemplating this, the vehicle had already entered the village.

Most of the houses in the village were covered in pure white snow.

The rooftops were also blanketed with thick snow.

Under the eaves hung long icicles.

If not for the damaged doors and windows giving a dilapidated look, Jiang Yan almost thought she had arrived in the snow towns of the northeast before the apocalypse.

Nearly sleepless through the night and having driven for several hours, she was a bit tired.

She simply drove the vehicle into the yard of a relatively large-looking house.

Saying it was a yard was a bit of a stretch, the fence was buried under snow and ice, it was just a relatively open area in front of the house.

After parking the car, Jiang Yan removed her Snow Goggles, rubbed her brow, and then with a thought, took out a hot roasted black sugar bubble milk tea from her “Space” to slowly sip.

When she had stocked up before the apocalypse, she bought milk tea and coffee, both sugar-free and with extra sugar.

The former was to satisfy cravings, the latter for warmth and indulging her sweet tooth.

After consuming more than half a cup of the sugary milk tea, her body instantly felt warmer.

Hua Bao had already gone off with a “zilch” to scout and search the surrounding area.

Although its range was limited, as long as there was no danger near Jiang Yan, that was usually sufficient for routine situations.

Two seconds later, Hua Bao came hopping back.

“Mommy, there’s nobody around anymore, not even a dead Rat.”

Jiang Yan nodded and instructed it to rest in the passenger seat.

Hua Bao did not comply but continued to perch on the roof as a lookout for her.

Although Hua Bao didn’t experience fatigue nor feel cold or hot, Jiang Yan still felt a bit sorry for it.

Ultimately, she could not persuade Hua Bao.

She had no choice but to recline the seat back, took out a steam eye mask to wear and prepared to rest before proceeding.

Half an hour later, Jiang Yan woke up.

The time was only around nine in the morning.

She made a hot cup of coffee, drank it, and then casually ate a slice of whole-wheat bread and a piece of cheese before starting the vehicle to continue on her way.

According to Ding Dayong, after reaching the village, she would reach Flame Base in about two hours if kept in the same direction.

However, Ding Dayong’s time reference was based on a speed of 80-90 kph; with her slow pace like Old Niu pulling a cart, it would take three to four hours.

Jiang Yan was not in a rush.

She continued to drive leisurely forward.

As she continued to drive, buildings began to appear in her view.

It was as if she had entered the main area of Jin City.

These buildings were also shrouded in ice, lifeless and cold.

Jiang Yan momentarily had the illusion she had wandered into a scene from “The Day After Tomorrow.”

In the city area not far ahead, there was a snow road that had been compacted, and vehicles passed by every so often.

Cars, motorcycles, even RVs.

Indeed, at any given time and place, those with vehicles, boats, and food are numerous.

Jiang Yan recalled Ding Dayong’s words and knew that this road led to Flame Base on the outskirts of Jin City.

Carefully calculating, she estimated that in another hour or two, even at a snail’s pace, she could reach the vicinity of the base.

If that was the case, this red snow vehicle could not be driven any further.

Too conspicuous, and being recognized by people from the base would not be a good thing.

Thinking this, Jiang Yan drove the vehicle behind a building, confirmed that nobody was around, then stored the vehicle in her “Space.”

She then took out her previous snowmobile.

Mounting the snowmobile, she continued towards the direction of the base.

Gradually, more and more vehicles appeared on the road.

The compacted road was not wide, just a single lane.

Those vehicles had added anti-slip chains to their tires, but still drove very slowly.

Every now and then, cars that veered off the main road into the snow were visible, and everyone had become cautious.

One by one, they slowly maintained a safe distance from each other.

Considering the number of vehicles and survivors heading to Flame Base, Jiang Yan was not at all surprised.

After all, in her eyes, Flame Base was akin to a cave of evil.

But in most people’s view, it was not like that.

They only knew that the base was large, one could find work, exchange for fuel and supplies, and survive the apocalypse.

Better to live poorly than to die nobly.

Jiang Yan brought her thoughts back to the present and kept her head down, continuing to advance.

At some point, a cross-country motorcycle appeared beside her.

Possibly both being lone survivors, the other occasionally glanced at Jiang Yan, seemed wanting to strike up a conversation, but held back.

After the apocalypse, everyone adheres to the mindset that it’s better to mind one’s own business for self-preservation.

Only those who sought help from others would take the initiative to speak.

After a while, the person glanced at the backseat of her snowmobile and found an excuse to speak:

“Buddy, you’re traveling without any luggage? That’s pretty badass!”

Jiang Yan glanced at him from the corner of her eye, noticing that his rear seat, like a wandering Gypsy, was packed full with various crumpled bags.

Her own rear seat and luggage rack, on the other hand, were empty.

Fortunately, she habitually had a backpack on her back.

Jiang Yan took a silent breath.

She had been careless.

Having been alone in the mountains for too long, she had nearly forgotten how to disguise herself among people.

Seeing as she didn’t respond, the man persisted with another question, “Hey, buddy?”

“Lost it,” Jiang Yan glanced at him, casually remarked.
