Qin Lan suddenly woke up from her dream, feeling dizzy. The world in front of her seemed to be spinning rapidly. She subconsciously covered her eyes and tried to wake herself up.
Suddenly, there was a violent shaking. Qin Lan reluctantly opened her eyes and saw Tang Jiayan hurriedly operating the touch screen. The mecha was swaying like a ship driven by strong winds, as if it was about to capsize at any moment.
Qin Lan's stomach was churning. She quickly stood up and grabbed the seat tightly, trying her best to stabilize her body. Everything around her seemed to be jumping, her vision was blurred, and she could only see Tang Jiayan's anxious face twisting and elongating on the screen.
Tang Jiayan noticed the movement behind her, turned her head and saw that it was Qin Lan. Tang Jiayan felt as if she had seen a savior, and felt ecstatic in her heart.
Tang Jiayan immediately stood up from the chair and said eagerly, "Hurry up, this mecha is not as simple as Chen Xiaodong said."
On the mecha's screen, the rear was blank, with no trace of any vehicle, replaced by an empty wilderness.
Mecha is an important guarantee for their survival in this apocalyptic world. It has strong combat power and defense power, and is their main means of resisting zombies and mutant beasts. If the protection of the mecha is lost, the convoy will face a great threat to its survival.
Although the mecha cannot use weapons under the attack of the magnetic field, its ability cannot be underestimated.
Its tracks can easily roll over vehicles and obstacles blocking the front, which is incomparable to ordinary vehicles. It can open up a road for the rear convoy, allowing the convoy to reach Tianwei City better and safer.
Qin Lan's eyes flashed with anxiety. She knew that if the convoy failed to keep up with the mecha, the consequences would be disastrous. She quickly sat on the chair and slid her hands quickly on the touch screen, trying to stabilize the mecha.
However, the mecha swayed left and right uncontrollably, accompanied by violent vibrations from time to time. Qin Lan felt her heart beating wildly, as if it was about to jump out at any time. She deliberately wanted to stop the mecha's speed, but the mecha was too fast. , ridiculously fast.
Qin Lan turned to look at Tang Jiayan and saw that her face was full of worry. She wanted to scold her, but she held back. After all, except for Chen Xiaodong, the authority given to them by the mecha was very low, almost none.
"Stop being stunned, wake up Chen Xiaodong!" Qin Lan said in a hurry, "Only he can control this out-of-control mecha."
Tang Jiayan's eyes trembled, and she immediately turned around and pounced on the sleeping Chen Xiaodong. She shook his shoulders and shouted his name loudly, with an unprecedented urgency in her voice.
"Chen Xiaodong! Wake up!" Tang Jiayan was so anxious that she almost shed tears. She knew very well that if anything happened to the team, she would be the first person responsible.
Chen Xiaodong's mouth was dripping with laughter. He was lying on a big bed in his sleep. The bed was covered with banknotes, and Chen Xiaodong was holding a lot of banknotes in his hand and kept giggling.
At this moment, the unrealistic sound of the door opening disrupted Chen Xiaodong's excitement. Tang Jiayan, wearing a wedding dress, appeared at the door. Chen Xiaodong lay on the bed and looked sideways, and saw the terrifying scene.
Before Chen Xiaodong had time to react, he felt as if the banknotes in his hand had lost their weight in an instant, rising lightly. With his eyes widened, he watched the hundred-dollar bills turn into smoke before his eyes, swirling and rising until they disappeared from the ceiling.
His heartbeat accelerated sharply, and everything in front of him seemed dreamlike and unreal. He opened his arms and rushed towards the disappearing pile of banknotes, trying to grab them with all his strength. But no matter how hard he tried, the banknotes slipped through his fingers like running water, turning into wisps of smoke and drifting into the endless darkness.
He froze in place, unable to believe what just happened. The pile of banknotes on the bed had completely disappeared, leaving only the silence of the room and the shock and unwillingness on Chen Xiaodong's face.
Just when Chen Xiaodong was desperate, Chen Xiaodong saw an even more desperate scene. I don’t know when, Qin Lan came over wearing a wedding dress, and he was wearing a groom’s suit. Chen Xiaodong was startled and hurriedly woke up from his sleep. Come and escape this terrible nightmare.
Tang Jiayan failed to wake up Chen Xiaodong, so she reached out and slapped Chen Xiaodong on the left cheek. By coincidence, Chen Xiaodong woke up from his sleep and was met with a loud slap in the face.
Chen Xiaodong was still a little confused, but he was suddenly sobered by Tang Jiayan's slap. Chen Xiaodong said angrily, "Tang Jiayan, you are sick!"
"I...I..." Tang Jiayan's voice trembled a little. She swallowed hard and tried to speak clearly, "Can't I wake you up?"
Tang Jiayan's eyes were filled with distress. She reached out her hand and gently touched the five bright red slap marks on Chen Xiaodong's left cheek. It was a tingling temperature that penetrated the skin and hit the heart.
Chen Xiaodong reached out and pushed Tang Jiayan's right hand away. His eyes were full of anger. The screen showed what time it was after eight o'clock. How long had he been asleep before he was woken up by Tang Jiayan?
"Are you sick?" Chen Xiaodong cursed secretly, turned over, and continued to be immersed in sleep.
When Chen Xiaodong recalled that dream now, he was a little scared, especially Tang Jiayan in front of him, which made him even more frightened.
Tang Jiayan saw that Chen Xiaodong still wanted to sleep, so she grabbed the corner of Chen Xiaodong's clothes and pulled Chen Xiaodong up, "Stop sleeping, get up quickly!"
Chen Xiaodong was extremely angry. There was no sheep that didn't eat grass. Even the donkeys in the village had to rest. He had only been sleeping for a long time when Tang Jiayan woke him up. No matter how strong he was, he couldn't bear it.
"Tang Jiayan, don't go too far!" Chen Xiaodong said every word, staring into Tang Jiayan's eyes, "I haven't even slept for two hours, so you wake me up?"
Hearing this, it was obvious that Chen Xiaodong had misunderstood. Tang Jiayan wanted to explain, but Qin Lan, who was sitting on the chair, really couldn't listen any more. They tried again. It was almost dawn, and Qin Lan hurriedly said, "Chen Xiaodong, the mecha is out of control." !”
"What? Out of control?" Chen Xiaodong looked confused, obviously not understanding the situation.
Chen Xiaodong also felt that the mecha was swinging from side to side, like a pendulum clock. Seeing the anxiety in Tang Jiayan's eyes, he realized that the situation was serious.
Chen Xiaodong immediately stood up and rushed to the screen. Qin Lan's fingers were pressing on the touch screen frantically. He was almost so angry that he vomited blood. He grabbed Qin Lan's hand to stop her from continuing to press randomly.
The cursor on the screen kept flashing, and several large words "Insufficient permissions!" were displayed on the touch screen.
Chen Xiaodong was stunned. He didn't understand why this was happening. He carefully checked every option on the touch screen, but found that none of it was available.
Qin Lan's face turned red and she was obviously angry. She asked loudly, "What's going on? Why can't I operate?"
Chen Xiaodong was speechless, and he couldn't explain the problem. He could only look at the words "Insufficient Permissions" on the screen, looking confused.
Chen Xiaodong was shocked by Qin Lan's voice. His eyes widened and he was speechless for a moment. But soon, he came back to his senses and yelled back at Qin Lan dissatisfied, "What are you yelling at me for!"
Qin Lan was startled by Chen Xiaodong's sudden counterattack, but she quickly regained her composure and retorted unwillingly, "You know what you did! You actually took away my only operating authority."
"You have no authority, what does it have to do with me?" Chen Xiaodong was irritated by Qin Lan's eyes. He took a step forward, lifted Qin Lan from the chair with both hands, and then Chen Xiaodong sat on the chair. "With your little authority, I can't even see it." superior!"
Chen Xiaodong stretched out his finger and pressed lightly on the touch screen of the mecha. Touching the machine soul, the machine soul was delighted. The mecha seemed to feel Chen Xiaodong's trust and comfort, and its speed became slower and slower, like a The tamed beast gradually calmed down.
"Okay!" Chen Xiaodong stood up from his seat, put a hand on Qin Lan's shoulder, and said seriously, "Sister, can you use your brain, you can't do anything else, but you can control Its speed, can you save me some worries and let me teach you about this kind of thing?"
Qin Lan was a little stunned by Chen Xiaodong's training. She lowered her head and pinched the corners of her clothes with both hands, looking aggrieved. Chen Xiaodong looked at her, feeling a little unbearable, but thought that if Qin Lan didn't correct his thinking this time, there might be bigger problems in the future.
He took a deep breath and tried to soften his tone, "Sister, I know you want to help, but you also have to think about the actual situation. This is just a small accident. If you encounter the same situation next time, , can you promise not to make the same mistake?"
Qin Lan raised her head, a trace of determination flashed in her eyes, "I will pay attention, and I will not let you down next time."
"Okay, I'm going to bed!" Chen Xiaodong nodded and left with satisfaction. Just as he was about to lie down to sleep, he was kicked by Qin Lan behind him.
"Chen Xiaodong, you are so brave, you dare to point fingers at me." Qin Lan also reacted and heard the implication in Chen Xiaodong's words, obviously treating her as a child who made mistakes.
Qin Lan pressed Chen Xiaodong to the metal plate and hit Chen Xiaodong with punches and kicks. "You still have the nerve to accuse me? If you hadn't given me permission, could I have made a mistake?"
Qin Lan's attacks were quick and hard to guard against. Although Chen Xiaodong was unwilling to be outdone, he still seemed a little powerless in the face of Qin Lan's dirty tricks. He was beaten back by Qin Lan and could only avoid Qin Lan's dirty tricks.
Just as the two were fighting, Tang Jia stood in front of the screen, his face as pale as paper, and his eyes staring blankly at the screen.
The picture on the screen made her feel like the sky was about to collapse. Tang Jiayan couldn't help but scream, "It's over, Chen Xiaodong, we're done! The tunnel has collapsed! We can't reach Tianwei City."
After hearing this, the two stopped entangled. Chen Xiaodong and Qin Lan stood in front of the screen, looking at the image of the tunnel collapse, and their hearts were in confusion.
They knew that this tunnel was the only way to Tianwei City, but now, it had completely cut off their way.
Qin Lan had a worried look on her face. She knew what this news meant to them. It meant that they would be trapped and die here.
"What should we do?" Qin Lan finally asked.
Chen Xiaodong did not answer. He looked away from the tunnel and lowered his head to think. The place that was supposed to be the tunnel was now just ruins and rubble.
Chen Xiaodong took a deep breath and tried to calm the chaos in his heart. He looked up at the Tianwei Mountains, which was a huge barrier in front of him, as if it were the dividing line between heaven and earth.
Chen Xiaodong knew that they could only choose to take the old road more than ten years ago, cross the mountain range, and head to Tianwei City.
