Savior Simulator

Chapter 800 Tolls

In a blink of an eye, the road ahead was covered by rain and fog, and the visibility became very low.

Tangning, who was driving, pushed up her sunglasses on her forehead, her two beautiful eyebrows furrowed.

The road conditions are already very poor, coupled with the influence of bad weather, even if the fog lights are turned on, the oncoming vehicles cannot be seen clearly, and accidents are prone to occur if you continue to drive.

Gao Fei felt a little worried when he saw the heavy rain and fog outside the window, so he spent an astrolabe energy to awaken the sub-profession "Imitator", put on the "Mage Mask", and bless Tangning who was driving with "Mist Sight".

Tang Ning's eyes suddenly brightened. His eyes were unobstructed through the rain and fog, and he could clearly see the oncoming vehicles.

She turned her head to Gao Fei and smiled gratefully, and the hand that was gripping the steering wheel was also relaxed.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and it hadn't stopped after two hours.

The road undulates with the hills, and the jeep has to go up and down frequently.

Under the washing of the rain, the mountain road became extremely slippery, and the brakes almost lost their effect.In order to ensure safety, Tangning had to manually adjust the gear to reduce the speed.

Difficult to climb up the hill, the downhill road ahead has almost turned into an ice rink, the slippery road, coupled with the huge inertia brought by the downhill, it is difficult to control the speed of the car, in case of loss of control at the turn, the car will fall down the valley.

Ma Yun no longer got motion sickness anymore. She saw Tang Ning sweating on her brow from the rearview mirror and looked very nervous, so she opened the car window to let some air in and reminded Tang Ning, "The hill is too steep, drive slowly."

"The slope is full of mud and water, the tires can't grip the ground, so you can't slow down even if you want to," Tangning replied helplessly.

"This kind of road conditions is very similar to the early spring in Northeast China. There are slippery mud, snow and crushed ice all over the place. The brakes are not effective. Iron chains have to be wrapped around the tires to increase the friction." Wang Daqing said.

"On the downhill road, there is no place to park. How can I have the spare time to tie iron chains to the tires? I can only make do with it and drive to the end. I hope nothing will happen..."

Qi Tian suddenly remembered his "bad luck" physique, and quickly swallowed the unlucky second half of the sentence.

Ma Yun listened to the two chatting, and suddenly had an idea, and pulled out two thumb-thick iron chains from the storage space of the new disk, with snap rings at both ends.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Feng was deeply shocked.

"Xiaoyun, why are you like a robot cat, you have everything in your pocket!"

"Sister Feng, this is a good habit I developed in the game!"

Ma Yun said cheerfully, "The most interesting thing about the profession of Artificer is to recycle garbage and turn waste into treasure!"

Xiao Ma blessed the two iron chains with the "Secondary Activation Technique", manipulated the two activated iron chains, climbed out from the windows on the left and right sides respectively, drilled through the wire grid, hung down along the door, and wound up by itself On the rear wheel of the car, end to end, lock the snap ring.

The wheels wrapped with iron chains have significantly improved braking performance, and the vehicle speed gradually changes smoothly.

Tangning breathed a sigh of relief, and praised sincerely, "As expected of the number one SWAT team in Yaoguang station, everyone has unique skills!"

The car went down the hill and the rain stopped.

Continue to drive forward for about an hour, and there is a sign of a gas station on the side of the road ahead.

I drove from 8:12 am to 160:[-] noon. Due to the bad road conditions, I only ran a total of [-] kilometers, with a full tank of gas, and more than half of it left.

There is such a gas station on the way from Merauke to Hiti Town.

To be on the safe side, Tangning drove the car into the dilapidated service area and filled up the gasoline.

There is no restaurant in the service area, and the supermarket sells fast food such as milk, bread, and instant noodles, and the price is frighteningly expensive.

Everyone felt that there was no need to spend such a waste of money, so they took out the snacks they carried with them from the astrolabe for lunch, filled their stomachs with improvisation, returned to the car, and continued on their way.

Finally, the rain stopped and the road became flat, but the car was blocked again after driving out for more than half an hour.

I don't know what went wrong on the road ahead. More than a dozen vehicles were blocked here. Except for Gao Fei and his party who were traveling by car, the others who were forced to break down were long-distance freight trucks.

Tangning stepped on the brakes helplessly. No matter how reluctant she was, she could only get out of the car to understand the situation.

"Sister Tang! Be careful!" Ma Yun reminded from the back seat.

Tangning held the car door handle and turned her head to comfort Xiao Ma, "Although there are often robbers on the road, the safety is higher in places where there are many vehicles. I'll go down and find out what happened. You guys will wait in the car." .”

"I'll go down and have a look too." Gao Fei was worried that Tangning would go out alone, so he followed her out of the car.

Seeing Gao Fei getting out of the car, Jiang Feng couldn't sit still any longer. He got up and opened the car door, and said to his companions in the car, "After sitting in the car all morning, my back hurts. Why don't you all get down and do some exercise to relax your muscles and bones."

Everyone nodded in agreement and got out of the car one after another.

In fact, with their strength, even if they encounter robbers, there is nothing to worry about. What really needs to be feared is the car bandit road tyrant who has eyes but does not know Mount Tai.

Gao Fei followed Tangning to the front of the blocked road, and saw a group of truck drivers gathering here and sighing.

Tangning stepped forward to inquire, and soon learned the cause of the traffic jam.

According to villagers living nearby, the heavy rain in the morning caused a mudslide on the nearby hillside, and a large number of rocks, sand and trees fell down, blocking the road.

In the blocking area, Gao Fei saw a group of men and women dressed as villagers cleaning the road with crude tools.

These villagers are all natives of Irian Island, known as Papuans: dark brown complexion, curly hair, wide nose, thick lips, deep eye sockets, high eyebrows, most of them have short heads.

These villagers talked in a local dialect, and Gao Fei couldn't understand what they were saying. Fortunately, the astrolabe had its own simultaneous interpretation function, which could help him overcome the language barrier.

In fact, there is no need for translation, just by looking at the frequent gestures of "counting money" by the villagers, it is not difficult for Gao Fei to guess their intentions.

The help of these villagers is not free.

All drivers who are stuck on the road have to pay a large toll, which is regarded as a reward for hiring villagers to clear the road.

"How much do they want?" Gao Fei asked Tangning.

"One million per car."

"Ah?!" Gao Fei was taken aback by the exaggerated number, "Sister Tang...you must be kidding me, right?"

"One million Batavian guilders, converted into soft sister coins, is about 100 yuan." Tangning explained patiently.

"Oh, if you use the exchange rate to convert...that's okay." Gao Fei said in relief.

"What's the matter? You really don't know the sufferings of the people!" Tangning gave him a blank look. "In this country, a monthly income of 400 million dong is considered a middle level! What's more, the southern part of Irian Island belongs to Batavia as a whole. In poor and backward areas, the income level of local people is even lower, and 100 million dong is not a small amount!"
