Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system

Chapter 318: Natural Disasters and Doomsday Cannon Fodder (26)

The world after the hail is a field of broken branches and fallen leaves.

Shen Yao drove the car and parked it under a tall tree. The area around the car was covered with dead branches of all sizes. It took a while before she pushed open the door and slowly got out of the car.

It can't be opened for the time being.

The hail came too suddenly, blocking their way forward, and it would take some effort to get past.

"sister in law"

Wei Minzhi, who came down from the other side of the car door, ran to Shen Yao and called out softly.

Wei's mother and Wei Chengning did not get out of the car. They are elderly and weak, and the situation outside is unclear at the moment. Going out would only increase the risk of accidents.

"Have you seen your brother and the others?" Shen Yao asked casually, while calling up the positioning map in the system to determine the distance between them.

Wei Minzhi shook her head. "There's none around. The hailstorm came too fast and my brother's satellite phone is temporarily unreachable."

It's not Wei Minzhi's fault. Natural disasters are beyond human control, especially these hailstones, which are so distinct that they leave a purple bruise when they fall and hit your body.

Shen Yao and the others dodged left and right, and no one knew where the car had gone. Although there were quite a few people around, there were so many people who had come out, and it was possible that they had gotten lost together.

"Go back to the car first and take care of Mom and Chengning. I'll go find someone up front."

The surroundings were in such a mess that it would be a sheer dream to think about setting off immediately. Shen Yao planned to simply clean up the surrounding branches and leaves to make room to pick up Wei Mingyu and the others.

As for what to do next, let’s discuss it together as a family.

After hearing this, Wei Minzhi nodded and said, "Sister-in-law, be careful." She took out an iron rod for self-defense and took out a thick coat and handed it over.

The end of the hail also took away the sultry temperature, but Shen Yao was still cold just by wearing a single pair of long-sleeved shirts and long pants.

She took the clothes handed to her by Wei Minzhi and put them on as soon as she turned over. "Don't worry, I'll be back soon. In the meantime, don't get off the car if you have something to do." Shen Yao was afraid that the three people who stayed behind would not be able to handle the trouble, so she asked the system to help her keep an eye on this side.

Wei Minzhi knew nothing about this. She waved her hand, turned around and ran back to the car, locking the door and leaving only a small gap in the window.

Shen Yao stepped forward, bypassed the obstacles on the ground and quickly found the car driven by Wei Mingyu.

The good news is that the car is still there and the people inside are safe and not injured.

Bad news, there was something wrong with the car's starting engine. Wei Mingyu and his father were busy repairing the car and could not drive back for a while.

"No rush. The hailstorm was unexpected by the authorities, so the departure will be delayed," Shen Yao looked around and saw official people around.

"We have already strayed off the main road. It will take half a day to turn back. We will encounter a roadblock that needs to be repaired. Conservatively speaking, we will stay here for three days."

Wei Mingyu stretched out his hand and raised a few fingers, then pointed at the chaos around him.

It was really chaotic, with all kinds of crying and wailing constantly entering everyone's ears.

Shen Yao was already a little irritated, and now she was even more angry. She frowned, not knowing what to say, and finally just looked at the two children in the car.

"I'll go and bring Minzhi and the others over. We need to stay together as a family." There is strength in numbers. Even if some of them are rookies and vulnerable, they can still be quite intimidating when they get together.

Wei Mingyu nodded and asked Wei's father and Shen Yao to go together. He stayed to continue fixing the engine problem.

They came and went in a hurry, and had to clean up the debris on the road. When Shen Yao brought the people over, the sun was already hanging directly overhead, constantly radiating heat.

The cold weather suddenly became hot again inexplicably, and it still felt like a scorching heat.

Shen Yao had no choice but to take off her clothes and give them to Wei Minzhi, and then she went to help Wei Mingyu repair the car.

The two cars parked together were not conspicuous, because there were many people around who had gotten into trouble, and many of them even had to go back after making a fuss.

Are you kidding me? Go back? We are already a long way away. Are you really hysterical?

Wei Minzhi complained in her heart, holding the food she got from the car in her hand, and picked up some branches and fallen leaves to pile together to make a fire and cook.

Hot weather is not completely without benefits. Dried branches can be used as fire starters. Just pick any of them to meet your cooking needs.

Wei Minzhi's ability to take care of herself has improved significantly in the past few years. She can easily handle small things like cooking without any difficulty.

Wei's mother came over to help, and using the branches picked up by Wei's father, the mother and daughter soon made the soup pot full of food smell fragrant.

Wei Mingyu and Shen Yao, who were still busy repairing the car, stopped the tools in their hands tacitly, turned around and touched their empty stomachs, planning to eat first.

"I'll go find the official people to ask about the situation later. There's no specific notification yet, and I'm still trembling with fear," for fear of being left behind or abandoned. It would be difficult for them to reach their destination safely without strong armed protection.

Father Wei held the bowl in his hand, his brows furrowed with frown.

Mother Wei patted Father Wei's arm and added another bowl of soup to the three children. "Don't worry, it's a mess everywhere. What can we get if we go there? We might as well wait for the officials to come and notify us."

You can't really just ignore them. They are not important, but there are important people.

Wei's mother, who has learned to use her status to pressure others, believes that with her son and daughter-in-law around, the government will definitely take their lives into consideration. What's the word for this? Value.

Their family is valuable enough that they don't have to worry about being abandoned by the authorities.

Even if the authorities give up, they will only arrange it for the last time and will not abandon them at the beginning.

In this confrontation between Mr. and Mrs. Wei, the couple could not stop talking. They kept bickering with each other until they finished the food in their hands.

Of course, stopping is not the result, but no one can convince anyone else, so just give up for the time being.

After dinner, Shen Yao and Wei Mingyu continued to repair the car. Wei Minzhi took care of the three children and picked up some fallen leaves and branches from the surrounding area for use.

When it was getting dark and time to rest, the tent where we had slept was moved out again.

It was still the same watch order as before, the only difference was that when we got up early we didn’t have to rush on the road, but could use the time to catch up on some sleep.

But it’s not a good idea to stay in the same place like this. Resentment is inevitable after a long time.

Just like some people who were injured when hail fell, even if they received treatment, it was just simple bandaging and medication, which had little effect.

Some people couldn't help it and went to the official residence several times, but the authorities have not yet come up with an effective plan.

“It’s time to go, the road ahead is open,” officials have been gathering people to help build the road, and the commotion has been well known from the beginning.

Shen Yao approached Wei Mingyu, glanced around, and mentioned that many people have been restless recently, and if the authorities don't come up with a plan, there will be trouble.

If the situation gets out of hand, I'm afraid a large number of people will be lost.

There were certain losses among the people who came out in the first place, as long as it did not exceed the bottom line, the authorities would not care. But when they had completed most of the journey and victory was in sight, most people were reluctant to throw their lives away in vain.

Wei Mingyu nodded, "The authorities plan to travel at night. The area ahead is special and it is not convenient to travel during the day." They also have to adjust their work and rest time accordingly.

Shen Yao raised her eyebrows, "You even know this. Have you been here during the mission?"

There is no other explanation except the mission, because Wei Mingyu has few opportunities to go out.

In the past, I went on missions every year and was away for several months. I am afraid that I have already traveled all around Rimu City.

"They have been here," and quite a few of them have collected the stems and leaves of a plant with special uses from here, which are good for the human body.

As for the benefits, Wei Mingyu did not elaborate, but Shen Yao could understand that it was probably still a laboratory product and could not be used on a large scale for the time being.

Unfortunately, she didn't know this when she was in Rimu City. Now that she has left Rimu City, it will probably take her a long time to get the finished product.

The two men waited for the evening trip and packed up the tent.

Sure enough, before the sun set, the official staff came with a loudspeaker to announce that they were leaving, without even explaining why they were doing so.

Shen Yao was helpless. They were indeed ruthless and should have been prepared. The population loss here was within their tolerance.

"Get in the car, cheer up, and get a high-powered flashlight ready." Driving requires bright light. This time, Shen Yao planned to walk in front and let Wei Mingyu follow closely behind her.

She relied on the system plug-in, which was safer than knowing nothing. She decided to go ahead and wait for the two cars to drive out, and she could still see the panicked expressions of others.

Shen Yao held the steering wheel, asked everyone else to fasten their seat belts, then stepped on the accelerator, and with a whoosh, the whole car flew forward.

There were still some rocks and branches on the road, but it did not affect the car's journey. What's more, the people in the front were all official people, and their super strong military power gave people a strong sense of security.

Shen Yao chased the other person, and she would not stop as long as the other person did not stop.

Wei Minzhi turned on the flashlight and combined it with the car body's built-in lighting to make the road ahead clear.

Rubbing her eyes, Wei Minzhi felt too sleepy to open them. She reminded her sister-in-law and yawned with tears in her eyes.

Wei's mother and Wei Chengning in the back seat had fallen asleep with their heads tilted to one side, and a thin blanket was covering them to prevent them from catching a cold.

"You go to sleep too. Put the flashlight in front." Shen Yao didn't need Wei Minzhi to sacrifice her sleep time to help her. With the system's reminders, she could avoid all foreseeable troubles.

Wei Minzhi scratched her head embarrassedly, but finally tilted her head and fell asleep.

She was really sleepy, but Wei Minzhi had no self-control. However, she did not put down the flashlight in her hand. She held it firmly in her hand, and it still illuminated the road ahead even when she fell asleep.

Shen Yao:......

Shen Yao silently slowed down the car, and by the way, paid attention to Wei Mingyu behind through the system. After confirming that the other party had not fallen behind, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Once we pass this section, there will be no danger, right?" Shen Yao asked the system.

'How can there be no danger? It's just that the danger has been reduced.' The host can actually understand that there is no danger. He really can automatically filter out the news that is not good for him.

"Whether it weakens or not, it doesn't matter at the moment." She had been driving for so long and hadn't encountered anything, which made her doubt whether the system's words were true. I wonder if it was exaggerating.

system:……

The system was doubted by its own host, and it couldn't help but feel angry. However, it couldn't say much for the time being, and only said that if it didn't listen to the system, it would suffer.

This is not an ordinary danger. It hides during the day and comes out at night, changing its biological habits. You can see how dangerous this place is.

"Got it, I" Before he could finish his words, a white shadow flashed in front of him, and Shen Yao had to turn the steering wheel sharply to avoid the sudden appearance.

The car, which was driving smoothly, suddenly turned at high speed, waking up Wei Minzhi who was sleeping soundly. Wei's mother and Wei Chengning in the back also felt uneasy.

Shen Yao ignored it and asked the system what it was. It shouldn't have appeared. She was not blind.

"It is dangerous. Otherwise, why would it hide during the day and come out at night?" The system explained that it was a kind of animal that was active during the day and slow at night. Not only was it very aggressive, it could also easily cause death.

No longer arguing with the system, Shen Yao took out the satellite phone and called Wei Mingyu, reminding him to be careful. The most frightening thing while driving is that something suddenly appears in the middle of the road, which can scare people.

Wei Minzhi had woken up. She opened her eyes and looked at the road ahead and Shen Yao, blinking again and again.

"It's okay, go to sleep, it's not a big problem." It was still dark and the sun hadn't risen yet, so even if he saw someone, he wouldn't worry about being attacked. Besides, there were so many cars around, who said he would be the one to suffer the consequences?

Wei Minzhi woke up and was urged by her sister-in-law to fall asleep again.

She was in a daze, and if she hadn't woken up the next day, she would have thought she was dreaming last night. In fact, she didn't even talk to her sister-in-law.

The tents had been set up, and there was a circle of official personnel and heavy weapons blocking the way ahead, so they could only huddle in the back and sleep.

Wei Minzhi was chattering about what happened when she was woken up last night. Shen Yao smiled and exchanged a tacit look with Wei Mingyu, who had already learned about it through the satellite phone.

Wei Minzhi: …

Wei Minzhi puffed up her cheeks and was pulled away by Wei Chengyan who was playing nearby.

As a child, Wei Chengyan was well-behaved and obedient along the way, so he naturally had privileges.

Wei Minzhi likes her little nephew very much, so when he asked to play, Wei Minzhi couldn't bear to refuse.

Putting the matter behind him, he happily pulled his three children to join in.

Soon, laughter and noise were heard from the tent, adding a special kind of warmth to the surroundings.

No one could walk, and during the day they just slept and ate and drank to replenish their energy.

Shen Yao and Wei Mingyu had each approached official staff to ask, but all they got was some ambiguous and useless nonsense.

Finally, the two of them discussed it and concluded that the authorities did not want to disclose the dangers involved.

As for the reasons, one is worrying about their fear, and the second is to try to protect the reputation of special plants to avoid being remembered by others.

Once the news spreads, it will surely attract coveted external forces. The officials of Rimu City don't want to make things difficult for others, so they simply keep it all vague and try their best to preserve the information they know and leave enough information gap.
