It makes people want to take them for themselves!
Kong Rui stared at these things for a while, then suddenly laughed.
"These two really trust me!"
Kong Rui was the only one in the room, and he was talking to himself.
"Since you trust me so much, I won't let your trust down."
He would make good arrangements for these things.
Before they came back, he would definitely build the First Base into a better place.
So that when they returned, they could have a more comfortable home!
——
An hour after driving out, Liu Ruyan and Zhang Yuan stopped their vehicles one after another.
Liu Ruyan got out of the car and directly put Zhang Yuan's car into the space.
Then she went to the armored vehicle and also put all the things stuffed inside into the space.
After Liu Ruyan took the passenger seat, Zhang Yuan started the car again.
The seats of this vehicle were no match for those of Zhang Yuan's previous car.
Liu Ruyan shifted her body, adjusted to a more comfortable position, and then looked at Zhang Yuan. "Aren't you afraid of leaving those things behind?"
Zhang Yuan glanced at Liu Ruyan with a smile. "You're asking me? What about you?"
Liu Ruyan raised her eyebrows. "They're just some medicines and seeds, nothing to be ashamed of.
There are people in the base who have these things, but they just hide them carefully.
Kong Rui must know this.
After all, there are always capable people no matter what time it is."
Zhang Yuan put away his smile and became serious. "There's nothing to worry about. I had already exposed myself when I made those deals with the base before.
Just by looking at the fact that I'm still alive and well, I can tell the base's attitude."
Liu Ruyan nodded. "It's best if you have a plan."
Speaking of this, Liu Ruyan sighed.
"When I drove to the base, I really thought that if nothing major happened, I would live there for the rest of my life in this life.
I didn't expect that it's only been three years and I'm already leaving.
I don't even know when I'll come back.
But it's also good.
Life in the base is stable and comfortable, but sometimes it can feel a bit boring."
Zhang Yuan laughed upon hearing this. "Liu Ruyan."
"Hmm?"
"Actually, you can just say that you want to go out for a spin with me. I won't laugh at you."
Liu Ruyan, "..."
After knowing each other for such a long time and being together for two years, Liu Ruyan was quite familiar with Zhang Yuan's occasional inability to speak appropriately.
Liu Ruyan didn't continue this topic and directly asked, "Didn't you say you wanted to modify this car? It will take a few days. Where should we stop?"
When it came to business, Zhang Yuan immediately became serious.
"The Second Base is in Haiqu City, which is by the sea, to our southeast. Let's drive south first and find a suitable place on the way to stop and modify the car."
To distinguish directions in the thick fog, a compass was naturally needed.
But now there was no need to take out an additional compass because the car already had one.
They drove south all the way until late afternoon when they finally stopped.
It was a farmhouse by the roadside in the wilderness.
It was a one - story bungalow with a large enough yard to park the armored vehicle.
A house like this had poor earthquake - resistance. Most of the house had collapsed and was almost in ruins.
However, Liu Ruyan and Zhang Yuan didn't mind. They didn't plan to live in the house anyway.
The reason they found a yard was that the courtyard wall could block the car body so that people passing by the roadside wouldn't directly see their car.
After getting out of the car, Liu Ruyan and Zhang Yuan first sprayed insecticide and then sprinkled insect - repellent powder along the wall and in the ruins.
After dealing with the insects, Liu Ruyan took out the RV and placed it next to the armored vehicle.
Fortunately, the yard was big enough to accommodate both vehicles.
The RV was like a movable home.
Wherever they went and stopped, they could set up their home there.
No matter where they were, they didn't have to worry about being exposed to the elements.
It was still early, and Zhang Yuan didn't idle around. "I'll exchange for the things I need, and then we can start the modification."
Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan asked, "Can I help?"
Zhang Yuan thought for a while before answering, "If you want to learn, I can teach you."
It was always good to know more things. Maybe it would come in handy someday. Liu Ruyan nodded directly. "I'll learn."
Before Liu Ruyan answered, Zhang Yuan had already guessed her answer and wasn't surprised at all.
"Then I'll teach you!"
Liu Ruyan had only a smattering of knowledge about cars before and knew nothing about car modification.
But Zhang Yuan was obviously a very good teacher.
With Zhang Yuan's careful hands - on guidance, Liu Ruyan made rapid progress.
Three days later, the car modification was completed.
From the outside, the armored vehicle didn't seem to have changed much. But when you entered it, you could find that not only the operation platform and seats, but also the internal structure were different from before.
This vehicle was originally a transport - type, bullet - proof and explosion - proof, but it didn't have any advantages in terms of attack.
Now it was different.
Zhang Yuan made a lot of changes to it. He added a 360 - degree rotatable turret. When there was a need for an attack, it could directly fire a shot with amazing power.
In addition, a monitoring system was installed. Inside the car, they could clearly see the situation in all directions of the vehicle, avoiding any unexpected situations.
The seats were replaced with more comfortable ones while maintaining their performance.
As for the rear compartment, there were basically no changes.
After all, as long as the original seats and tables were folded up, it would be an empty space where you could do whatever you wanted.
The car was already modified, so they could hit the road again.
During these few days, besides modifying the car, the two of them also studied the route ahead.
Before the apocalypse, it only took eleven hours to drive from Rehe to Haiqu on the highway.
But now, with the thick fog covering everything, even if they took the highway, the speed couldn't be increased.
Moreover, after the major earthquake, it was a question whether the highway was still intact.
The result of Liu Ruyan and Zhang Yuan's discussion was to first drive Zhang Yuan's car onto the highway. If the highway was passable, that would be the best.
If the highway was not passable, they would get off the highway and take the national road.
As for which car to drive when taking the national road, it would depend on the road conditions.
The armored vehicle was powerful but also really fuel - consuming.
It was better not to drive it if possible.
Changing cars might not be easy for others, but for Liu Ruyan, it was the easiest thing. Naturally, they would do whatever was more cost - effective.
After getting on the road, the only sound accompanying them was the popping sound of the tires crushing the bugs.
After hearing this sound for a long time, they didn't feel disgusted anymore.
