Chapter 467: Sit Down, Everyone
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After making the necessary preparations, the few of them walked up the stairs to the floor closest to the ground. As the big iron door in front of them was pushed open, Du Yue saw the new car for the first time. He Xing had shown her photos and videos before, but when she saw it with her own eyes, Du Yue was still shocked. The entire car was camouflaged, and there were sharp edges on the car, making it look very flamboyant. The first time Du Yue saw the photos, she was sure that the appearance was not designed by He Xing even before He Xing said anything.
It was because He Xing would never make such a flamboyant thing. Du Yue also understood He Xing’s thoughts. It was fine as long as the car could be used normally. He did not care about its appearance, so he would not argue with the people in the base over such a small matter. Most importantly, He Xing did not want to be the leader of the team. It was not unreasonable to shoot the bird that took the lead. Xia Ju’s incident back then had given them a warning.
It was the same now. To put it nicely, the security team was sent by the base to protect Xia Ju. But everyone knew that they were here to monitor her. They would do what they wanted to do well and not be in the limelight. There would be someone in front to attract the attention of others for them, and they would get the results they wanted behind the scenes. This was the result that He Xing wanted! Xia Ju could not find anyone else to attract the others’ attention, so she could only bear it all by herself.
The car was huge and looked like a giant van from afar. Looking at it up close, it only made people feel that it was wild and shocking. However, when they thought about the situation outside and looked at the car again, they felt at ease. The situation was special now. If it was before the apocalypse, there would not even be a chance to see such a car, let alone test drive it. They were not in a hurry to get into the car. He Xing first explained all the functions of the car to everyone in detail.
There was no bed in the car, but there was a toilet. There were also oxygen devices and other equipment that could be used for emergency rescue. There were food, water, and other necessities. At a glance, this car was very large. However, due to the special reinforcement of the car and the many things inside, the original space was compressed. Fortunately, the seats were quite spacious, but the passage in the middle of the seats was relatively narrow.
Humans were not perfect, and it was the same with this car. This car’s advantages were obvious, and no one would care about its shortcomings. The group of people got into the car. He Xing sat in the driver’s seat while Du Yue sat behind He Xing. As the car was too wide and the distance between the driver’s seat and the front passenger seat was too far, Du Yue chose the seat behind He Xing so that the two of them could be closer. Du Yue did not have to be so close to He Xing. It was just that they were going out, and there were so many people in the car that she did not know. She wanted to sit closest to He Xing just in case.
When the last person got into the car and closed the door, Du Yue heard a loud roar.
The sound came from above. Du Yue subconsciously looked up, but other than the car roof, she could not see anything else. At this moment, Li Zhonghao explained, “Miss Xia Ju, there’s a door above us. The elevator will send us directly to the ground in a while.”
Hearing this, Du Yue finally realized how they were going to get to the ground. Although Li Zhonghao explained it to Xia Ju, her doubts were also answered. She secretly praised in her heart that the child had grown up and she could also take advantage of it!
A minute later, Du Yue felt the car being brought up steadily. At the same time, the rumbling of the elevator could be heard. Finally, with a click, the elevator arrived. Du Yue could finally see the situation outside through the window. She had been holed up underground for a few months, and everything she could see was cramped and depressing. Now that her vision had suddenly widened, she actually felt a little unaccustomed to it. Before they went underground, although there was a thick fog around them, they could still see the scene in front of them under the light.
Now, everything was gray, and floating volcanic ash blocked everyone’s vision. Even though they were sitting in the car, they did not dare to take off their gas masks. He Xing looked back at everyone and said in a deep voice, “Let’s go. Everyone, sit tight..”
