Rebirth in the end times: The whole family keeps a low profile

I woke up from the cold and naturally couldn't fall asleep. Fortunately, my clothes and quilts were piled in the truck and were not crushed under the boards, otherwise I would have to unload them from the truck again to get them out.

Most of the winter clothes for the Flying Dragon Team in the past two years were exchanged for by Su Yun using his points. They all assumed that Su Yun had special channels. Even the bigwigs of the Illuminati were his classmates. Before the natural disaster, he and Wang Jie were able to start a company based on their own abilities. His knowledge and abilities were definitely better than those of them who were farming at home.

This perception casts a certain dark color on those things that appeared inexplicably in the Su family. After all, if it weren't for some shameful channels, such as the legendary black market, they would definitely not be able to get them.

But there were also some clothes that had been worn by the Su family. Su's mother felt that they had shrunk, deformed, and didn't want to wear them anymore, so she would alter them to be smaller and give them to the children. After all, children's clothes are harder to find now. No one has good fabrics, and needles and thread and sewing machines are not common. It is also thanks to Su Yun and Su's mother's "waste" that the children of the Flying Dragon Team are all dressed decently.

Especially for Xiao Xingxing, Su Yun privately gave her several sets of close-fitting and warm clothes, and Tang Tang's old clothes were often seen on Xiao Xingxing.

So no matter how many rich people there are in the Western Conference, the Dragons are not too envious of what they eat and wear.

It was only half past three, and everyone took out the wood that could not be taken away and started burning a fire in the house to keep warm. Su Yun couldn't sleep either, so he and Wang Jie simply got up and put away everything in the house, even the curtains. The explosion-proof glass embedded in the skylight on the roof was also taken down by Su Zhangming. Now the house was really clean.

At five o'clock in the morning, the wind was still blowing outside. You could tell from the sound that it was very strong. The Su family had all gotten on the RV, and the other members of the Flying Dragon Team had also packed up. The car started slowly and drove towards the east gate.

When I arrived at Dongdaemun, I saw that, oh no, I thought I was early, but there was already a long queue and the convoy was half full. It seemed that everyone was worried about being late.

There was a staff member directing the vehicles to line up. Wang Jie and Su Zhangming showed the person the message they received on their mobile phones, and only then could they continue to drive forward. Fortunately, the person pointed out that number 55 was right behind the van, so they should not line up in the wrong line.

Wang Jie handed the man a cigarette to express his gratitude. The young man didn't expect such a good thing to happen and waved towards their car happily.

After everyone lined up and waited for departure, Su Yun took out a pot of preserved egg and lean meat porridge and a dozen tea eggs and placed them on the dining table of the RV. The children were wearing windproof jackets and were still leaning on the sofa chairs with sleepy eyes. They didn't seem to have an appetite. Aunt Su was about to wake them up for breakfast, but Zhang Lili stopped her and said, "Forget it, aunt, let them go to bed. It's only half past five. When they have had enough sleep, just give them some steamed dumplings to fill their stomachs." Sister also has steamed dumplings and dumplings, which are convenient for eating in the car.

Su Xiaogu: Okay, let’s deal with it ourselves first. If the car starts shaking later, it will be difficult to drink the porridge.

The car windows were covered with colorful release films, and everyone was at ease scooping up the preserved egg and lean meat porridge while peeling tea eggs. These were cooked by Su Xiaogu when she was bored at home last year. She also ate a lot of the delicacies made before the natural disaster. She didn't dare to eat those with strong flavors often, fearing that the smell would spread. They were always very low-key and cautious, so there were no mistakes over the years.

Just as they finished their porridge and were about to eat a tea egg, someone knocked on the RV door.

A middle-aged man knocked on the door outside and said: Big brother, open the door, I want to discuss something with you.

It turned out to be the owner of the van in front.

Su Zhangming didn't open the door, but just lowered the car window a little: What's the matter?

Zhou Mingcheng: I see your car seems quite big, could you please help me carry some things? You see my van is so small, the roof is full, I would like to ask you for a favor, you see, our cars are so close, one behind the other, right? We still have two months to travel together.

Su Zhangming hates people who ask for help as soon as they open their mouths, without even mentioning the reward. They must be trying to get it for free.

Oh? How is the freight calculated? Su Zhangming asked deliberately.

Zhou Mingcheng was anxious: Hey, brother, it's just a package, the shipping fee shouldn't be that high, it's not a big deal for you. Look, you drive such a nice car, why do you still care about those trivial things?

Su Zhangming hasn't been so speechless for a long time. The last time he was so speechless was the time before. He really didn't want to waste a minute, so he replied with one word: Get lost, why are you talking to me if you don't have the shipping fee.

It is best not to pay attention to this kind of person, or even to give him a good face, otherwise he will stick to you like a dog-skin plaster and you can't get rid of him.

Zhou Mingcheng was thick-skinned and wanted to say a few more words but then he saw Su Zhangming rolled up the car window. Feeling humiliated, his face changed and he kicked the tire angrily, but his foot became numb and he hopped forward on one leg, groaning.

Su Zhangming looked forward from the driver's seat and saw that the roof of the van in front of him was filled with large and small bags of clothes and quilts, and there were also some buckets and a suitcase scattered on the ground next to it. It was estimated that they had to carry the buckets and suitcases to take everything on board, but there were already many people in the van, and it would be painful for everyone to carry the suitcases and buckets on board.

Not long after, the van in front got a bundle of rope from somewhere and tied the bucket directly to the handle. The suitcase was stuffed to the back seat, the door slammed shut, and the red bucket swayed in the wind.

Su Zhangming thought this method was not bad, but he hoped that the front door handle could be stronger.

There were also people who wanted to check in their belongings in the truck behind, but when they saw the items in the truck, they were immediately dissuaded. What kind of truck is this? There are 19 people sitting in it and so many belongings. It’s a good thing the truck has been modified, otherwise it really wouldn’t be able to fit all the belongings.

At half past six, the convoy moved forward slowly. The people walking behind didn't know what was going on. Su Yun looked at the 30 kilometers per hour speed displayed on the car and wondered: The people behind can't keep up at this speed.

Wang Jie was driving on the side: It is true that I can't keep up, but I guess, the car in front goes first, and when it reaches the destination it will stop to wait for the people behind. Otherwise, at the speed of walking five kilometers per hour, I don't know how much fuel the car would waste.

Su Yun: Oh? Generally speaking, how fast should a car drive to save fuel?

Wang Jie: For a normal car, it is more fuel-efficient to drive at 60 to 90 km/h. It depends on the specific model of the car. I guess it is quite difficult to drive 60 km/h on this mountain road. 40 to 50 km/h is still acceptable.

Su Yun was surprised: That means we only need to drive for an hour a day and then we can take a break.

Wang Jie: You didn't do your homework this time. It's only 2,000 kilometers from here to the underground city. How could it take two months to get there even if you have a car? The base is designed to take care of the vast majority of people who don't have cars.

Su Zhangming was also puzzled: Why do we have to go directly to the underground city first? Isn't this a waste of time?

Wang Jie analyzed: If you think carefully about the ratio of people driving and walking, you will understand. There are 120,000 people in our base, but only 10,000 can take a car, and the remaining 110,000 are walking. I asked, and the total number of cars including ordinary people and the base is about 700. But you know it takes two days just to set off for 110,000 people at the same time.

Su Zhangming was surprised and said: Wow, I didn’t know until I calculated it, and I was shocked. You mean that the last person will step out of the base two days later?

Wang Jie: Yes, there is a time difference of two days between the front and rear of our train.

Dad Su was also eavesdropping: How long should our team be?

Wang Jie: Our team probably wouldn't line up and walk one by one. There must be several people walking side by side. After all, the lane is so wide and there are so many people. I roughly calculated that our team is at least 70 kilometers long.

Dad Su was also surprised. The line was so long, no wonder it took two months.

Wang Jie: Two months is just a conservative estimate, which lengthened everyone's psychological expectations. I calculated that it would take about one and a half months to arrive. I guess our base commander deliberately made it take longer so that everyone would prepare more rations. When we arrive half a month earlier, it can be considered a surprise for everyone.

Dad Su: This little Li is really good at playing, haha, I didn’t expect there are so many tricks in this, you really see it thoroughly.

Wang Jie: Thanks to the paper map prepared by Su Yun. It is similar to Baidu Maps and I could figure it out after a little study.

Su's father slapped Su Zhangming on the head: Did you hear that? Learn from him. Look at your brother-in-law, he is preparing for a rainy day, but all you do all day is lie on the roof and watch the fun.

Su Zhangming: No way, I am just collecting intelligence and understanding current affairs.

Zhang Lili stabbed in the back: Smooth talk.
