Chapter 31: Under the Sandstorm Crisis

~7 min read 1,394 words

"Ajiu, are you okay?" Zhao Yuxin covered Zhu Zhiquan's face, "How are your ears now?"

Zhu Zhiquan placed her hand in his palm and smiled gently at her.

Thinking that Zhu Zhiquan might not be able to hear her voice, Zhao Yuxin sent him a private message: "Can you hear me talking now? If you can, say something."

Zhu Zhiquan's mouth opened and closed, but Zhao Yuxin could not hear any sound. Zhao Yuxin was so panicked on the spot that she lost her composure, "Ajiu, don't scare me. That thing didn't just explode a few times and leave you unable to speak, did it!"

Zhu Zhiquan was speechless upon hearing what she said, so he sent her a private message: "It's you who can't hear me speaking!"

Zhao Yuxin hurriedly waved her hands, "What are you talking about! It was just a few sonic attacks, I'll be fine soon! It's absolutely impossible that I can't hear you! Absolutely!"

Zhu Zhiquan knew her personality and didn't want to argue with her, so he sent a private message: "In that case, you rest here first, and I will pedal the Tricycle alone."

By the time Zhao Yuxin finished reading the private message, Zhu Zhiquan had already reached the driver's seat and started pedaling the Tricycle. Zhao Yuxin had originally been worried that Zhu Zhiquan wouldn't be able to see the locations of the traps in this Sandstorm, but facts proved that her worry was unnecessary.

For safety, Zhu Zhiquan had to get off the vehicle every few meters to observe the surroundings before getting back on the road. Seeing Zhu Zhiquan's caution, Zhao Yuxin felt much more at ease, and to pass the time, she opened the World Channel to look at the players' chat content.

Station Master Who Loves Iron: "Luckily, the Diviner's younger brother published the Divination results on the channel earlier, otherwise my good brother and I wouldn't know how many times we would have died."

Chuan Zhang Xiong Di: "That's right, I regret now why I didn't stay in the Oasis!"

Xiagu Houwang: "Hahaha~ Only now thinking about staying in the Oasis and not leaving? Too late! Now you are trapped in the desert and can't come back."

A Jiuba Zhougong: "Not only do we not have to worry about the Sandstorm problem in the Oasis, but we also organized a camp in the Oasis, it's so happy~"

Little Princess Who Loves Milk Tea: "Wow~ Really? After the Sandstorm passes, I will definitely return to the Oasis."

Ba Ge Zhong Fen: "Welcome, welcome~"

………………

Having walked for an hour like this, Zhu Zhiquan had only driven less than a hundred meters.

"Ajiu, let me drive this time."

"Has your Bat Wing Ear recovered too?"

"Yes, now I can perceive the surrounding environment through echoes again."

Zhu Zhiquan decisively gave up the driver's seat. Under Zhao Yuxin's operation, the Tricycle easily avoided the traps on the ground, and they soon left the trap area.

After leaving the trap area for a few hundred meters, Zhao Yuxin discovered a Material Box ahead, and upon walking closer, she found it was a Green Supply Box.

Zhu Zhiquan used Buli as a mask and came to the Material Box hunched over to open it, obtaining two geese, a large iron pot, and a Vehicle Repair System v1 from inside.

Name: Vehicle Repair Box System v1

Introduction: This system is an exclusive system for v4 vehicles. With it, you can consume materials to repair the vehicle.

Zhu Zhiquan brought all the supplies back to the carriage and told Zhao Yuxin about the effects of the Vehicle Repair Box System v1.

When Zhao Yuxin heard that this thing actually required v4 to be installed, she said regretfully: "What a pity, our Tricycle is still only v3. If it weren't for the fact that there has been no sign of electronic parts until now, we could use this system right now."

Zhu Zhiquan didn't speak, but just returned to the Tricycle carriage to do push-ups. Zhao Yuxin opened the World Channel to check the chat history and looked at the Divination that Luo Jinrui had posted earlier.

"The next crisis is crossing a narrow bridge. For me, this is just a piece of cake!" Zhao Yuxin set off confidently, but according to the transmission of the echoes, she had thought of things too simply.

Judging from the information transmitted by sound waves, many roads converged in one place ahead, and the players were all parked by an extremely narrow bridge. Among them, there were some bold players or players who had been Divined online by Luo Jincheng who had tried to cross the bridge.

"What should I do? This bridge is too narrow. If there is any danger, wouldn't there be nowhere to hide!" At this moment, Zhao Yuxin even wanted to send a message to ask Luo Jincheng.

"Let me do it." Zhu Zhiquan heard Zhao Yuxin's muttering and got off the vehicle to prepare for the handover.

"No need. You can't see the road in this Sandstorm, let me do it. No... isn't it just that the bridge is a bit narrow? For... me, it's still a piece of cake!" Zhao Yuxin stubbornly pedaled the Tricycle onto the road.

When Zhao Yuxin arrived at the bridge and looked at the bottomless abyss under the bridge, it still made her afraid to move. The people around saw this and couldn't help but mock.

"Yo, I thought the person driving was very capable, turns out it's just a poser."

"Exactly! If it really doesn't work, you guys should change someone to drive, staying here is just a waste of time!"

"Is there a possibility that the driver is already the bravest of these two people?"

"No, I think it's because their teammate is already dead, so they can only let a coward drive."

"Hahaha~"

………………

"Enough!" Zhao Yuxin opened the vehicle door, wrapped in Buli, and pointed at the people around her, cursing, "None of you dare to cross the bridge, you don't even have the courage to get close to the bridge, how do you have the nerve to talk about me!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a female voice came: "Hmph! We are being cautious! Most of us are waiting for the Prophet's prophecy, okay!"

"Exactly! Unlike you... ah!!!" A player was hit by a Crossbow Bolt before they could finish speaking.

Whoosh~

Zhu Zhiquan fired another Crossbow Bolt from another direction, which immediately made the surrounding players panic, and they all hid back in their own Tricycles, shouting that someone was killing.

Zhu Zhiquan put away the Crossbow Bolt and said to Zhao Yuxin: "Azhao, if you are afraid, let me do it."

"Who said I was afraid! You wait, I'll drive the vehicle onto the bridge right now!" Zhao Yuxin said as she slowly drove the Tricycle onto the bridge, "I hope this bridge won't collapse."

As Zhao Yuxin drove the Tricycle completely onto the bridge, she immediately felt the bridge shaking from the Sandstorm.

Zhao Yuxin was too scared to open her eyes and used her Bat Wing Ear to sense the surrounding environment.

Having moved forward no more than ten meters, Zhu Zhiquan heard a huge object swinging back and forth ahead.

"Ajiu, secure the things in the carriage, I'm going to rush across in one go!"

Zhu Zhiquan quickly busied himself in the carriage, securing the items firmly.

Zhao Yuxin took a deep breath, gripped the handlebars tightly with both hands, and slammed down on the pedals. The Tricycle rushed forward like an arrow released from a bowstring.

Zzzzt~

A giant axe carved a small hole in the top of the Tricycle's canopy, and then suddenly Zhu Zhiquan felt a sense of weightlessness.

The entire Tricycle was going downhill, and a large circular saw was chasing from behind.

"Damn it~ What's the meaning of chasing us with such a big saw~ Ah~" Zhao Yuxin let out a miserable cry from the driver's seat. Fortunately, the circular saw didn't chase far before it was retracted under the bridge.

Zhao Yuxin panted heavily, "Huff~ Damn it, you scared me to death! It's a good thing I'm more skilled, otherwise I would have been dead for sure." Zhao Yuxin calmed her mood and listened carefully, and soon she revealed a sweet smile again.
