Xu Yishen focused on the road ahead, even though he had many years of driving experience and often raced on mountain roads, but driving blindly in the dark like this was the first for him!
Without the illumination of his headlights, he could only drive forward by feeling.
Fortunately, Xiao Tu could scan the surrounding environment and tell him if there were obstacles within 10 meters ahead. In order to brake at any time, Xu Yishen did not dare to drive too fast, and the speed was always controlled at about 20 km/h.
In the distance, on the highway, the horn sounded incessantly, and there was too much noise around, and because of that, the mutants did not notice that on the provincial road that ran parallel to the highway, a bus was slowly moving forward in the dark.
Xu Yishen drove in the dark for a few kilometers in fear and trepidation. Seeing the toll booth of the highway ahead of them on the left, where a large number of mutants and a few large trucks were parked to block people. As long as they bypassed the toll booth, they could leave the scope of City C.
But at this critical moment, Xiao Tu suddenly gave an alert, “The road ahead is broken, please detour!”
Xu Yishen did not dare to make too much noise, and gently stepped on the brakes to let the bus stop as slowly as possible.
Yue Xingwen stepped forward and asked, “What happened?”
Ke Shaobin looked at the picture displayed by Xiao Tu on the screen and said, “The road ahead has been broken.”
Everyone’s expression immediately became nervous.
Jiang Pingce frowned and said, “No wonder they only blocked the toll booth of the highway. The other way to get out of the city by the provincial road was directly dug up and the cars can’t drive through.”
Yue Xingwen asked, “Can you use the coordinate system to control the bus to fly over?”
Jiang Pingce said calmly, “No, I can’t see the road ahead. If we turn on the lights to illuminate, the mutants on the other side of the highway will immediately notice our presence.”
The surroundings were dark, they did not know whether the road ahead was straight or turned. If Jiang Pingce used the coordinate system to control the vehicle into the air, and it was indeed difficult to land accurately without vision at all.
Yue Xingwen looked at Zhang Xiaonian and asked, “Xiao Nian has a way, right?”
The little junior brother scratched his head and said with a bitter face, “It’s a pity that I didn’t learn bridge construction skills. I can’t build bridges on broken roads, I only learned wall construction ah!”
Yue Xingwen asked, “Put down the wall and change the direction, isn’t it a bridge?”
Zhang Xiaonian was stunned and his eyes lit up, “Why didn’t I think of it!”
Everyone: “…” Everyone did not expect that either.
Yue Xingwen said in a low voice, “Xiao Nian, young Ke, come with me to repair the road. The others can wait in the bus.”
Xu Yishen hurriedly opened the back door of the bus, and Yue Xingwen took Zhang Xiaonian and Ke Shaobin out of the bus. Ke Shaobin let Xiao Tu’s radar monitor and detect the location of the broken road, while Zhang Xiaonian built a wall horizontally at the section.
The wall could be used to block the bullets. If it was built horizontally, it could be used as a bridge. Zhang Xiaonian found that the ‘Wall Construction’ skill of the Faculty of Architecture was quite flexible. The road itself had a roadbed that had been artificially damaged. After the horizontal wall was built, it was equivalent to laying a new cement pavement on top of the broken roadbed, which could naturally allow vehicles to pass.

Xu Yishen looked at the three and made a joke, “Running for our lives while still being able to build a road, you guys are really something.” He pressed the close button and stepped on the accelerator gently, and the bus drove slowly along the road that Zhang Xiaonian had patched.
The toll booth in front of the left gradually came into view. Everyone held their breath nervously.
What they did was equivalent to escaping under the eyes of the mutants, and once they were discovered, the group of mutants would just shoot them with their submachine guns, and the windows of this bus were not bulletproof glass, so casualties were surely inevitable.
And once the tires of the bus burst, it was even more difficult for them to go to City F on foot!
Qin Lu’s plate movement could only be used 12 times a day, and it had been used up today while escaping from the Research Institute. Jiang Pingce’s coordinate system was difficult to calculate in the dark, so everyone could only hope for senior brother Xu’s driving skills.
Xu Yishen’s hands were covered in cold sweat.
The highway was just off to the side, no more than 50 meters away from their path. If it was not for the noise of the crowd running wildly and screaming on the other side of the highway, they would have definitely attracted the mutants’ attention if they drove by.
10m… 50m… 100m…
The toll booth was gradually left behind, and the mutants did not notice the bus that was quietly advancing in the dark.
It was not until the bus had left the toll booth far behind and the lights of the congested traffic on the highway were completely out of everyone’s view that Yue Xingwen let out a slight sigh of relief and said, “Thank you for your hard work, senior brother Xu.”
Xu Yishen wiped the sweat on his forehead and smiled bitterly. “I’ve never been so nervous when I race on the mountain road.”
Zhuo Feng spat, “Driving in the dark without headlights really feels like walking in a tightrope.”
Xu Yishen looked back at the one-meter-tall white robot beside him and said with a smile, “Fortunately, we have Xiao Tu, otherwise, no matter how good my car skills are, I can’t see the road, and I’m likely to drive the car into the pit.”
Xiao Tu replied, “Thank you for the compliment.”
After the robot evolved and could understand that people were complimenting it, Ke Shaobin gently stroked Xiao Tu’s head and smiled, “You’re the best, keep up the radar monitoring.”
Xiao Tu nodded and said, “Okay master. The road ahead is smooth.”
Xu Yishen then drove forward, driving in the dark for a while. It had been more than ten kilometers from the toll booth in City C before he said softly, “It’s far enough, right? Turn on the lights now, they should not see it.”
Jiang Pingce looked in the direction of the toll booth behind him, calculated the distance, and said, “Okay, turn on the lights.”
Xu Yishen turned on the lights.
A soft light shot out from the front of the bus, and Xu Yishen, who finally saw the road surface, exhaled deeply. Everyone who had been nervous in the dark for an hour was finally relieved to see this light.
Yue Xingwen warned, “Don’t relax, in case they notice something is wrong, we are too close to City C and can easily be caught up. Let’s drive another hour and the distance is more than 100 kilometers.”
Xu Yishen nodded and said, “Okay, I’ll drive faster, sit tight everyone!”
Everyone immediately grabbed the seatbacks in front of them.
Xu Yishen stepped down the accelerator, and the bus rushed out like an off-string arrow.
The bus just now was like a snail crawling forward cautiously and slowly, and after accelerating, the bus was like a wild horse galloping.
Senior brother Xu’s car skills were really scary. The surface of the provincial road was not flat, he could perform curve drift when driving the bus at night, it was simply exciting!
In the dark night, Xu Yishen drove the bus all the way.
Time passed by every minute, and they were getting farther and farther away from City C, the stronghold of the mutants.
An hour later, the car drove into the deserted wilderness, with mountains on the left and a river on the right. There was no village in front, no shops, not to mention people around, not even the shadow of animals.
The time was displayed at 23:59 in the middle of the night.
After 00:00 o’clock, those big moves that had cooled down for 24 hours would be refreshed, and everyone’s life-saving skills would increase, even if they were caught up by mutants. There was a way to escape.
Yue Xingwen then said, “Okay, take a break, let’s eat something.”
Xu Yishen stopped the bus on the side of the road, and everyone got out to breathe.
Professor Tang could not stand Xu Yishen’s floating car skills, he was seasick and dizzy all the way. As soon as he got out of the car, he held onto a tree and started throwing up. Yue Xingwen followed him over and said with concern, “Professor Tang, be careful, don’t throw up the chip.”
Professor Tang: “……”
If you say this, do I vomit or not?
Professor Tang choked on this sentence and his face became uglier. Then, he forcibly resisted the urge to vomit.
Yue Xingwen patted his shoulder and handed him a bottle of water. “Thanks for your hard work. Our senior brother Xu’s driving style is like this, I’m afraid you’ll have to get used to it next.”
Professor Tang’s face was indescribable.
Looking back, Xin Yan had set up a distillation flask next to him and was preparing to make porridge.
The height of the distillation flask was almost level with his waist, and the first time Professor Tang saw such a large distillation flask, his eyes widened, looking at the behemoth in front of him in disbelief. If he was not mistaken, this flask… it came out of thin air, right?
As if to confirm his suspicions, Xin Yan conjured up a few more spirit lamps out of thin air in his shocked eyes and placed them under the distillation flask to steam.
Zhuo Feng and Xu Yishen brought mineral water and poured it into the distillation flask, while Ke Shaobin actively unzipped his school bag next to him and busied himself with distributing the ingredients, asking everyone while taking inventory, “What kind of porridge do you want to drink tonight ah? Snow fungus lotus seed porridge? Longan red date porridge? Black rice porridge? Mung bean porridge? Or do you want to put a little bit of all kinds of ingredients and make an eight treasure porridge?”
Everyone: “…” You’ve a lot of tricks up your sleeve ah!
Lin Manluo said in a low voice and spat, “It’s really a health care team.”
Lan Yarong raised her hand and said with an affectionate smile, “I like longan red date porridge.”
Qin Lu said in a low voice, “I like red dates too.”
Ke Shaobin nodded excitedly and said, “Then listen to the girls and cook a pot for tonight… No, cook a distillation flask of longan red date porridge. However, too much red dates and longan will cause internal heating, so tomorrow we will cook mung bean porridge to defeat the heat. Another bottle of mineral water and I’ll add some rock sugar, it will be more delicious.”
Yue Xingwen reminded him, “You guys save a little, at this rate, the mineral water may not be enough.”
Xin Yan said calmly, “It’s okay. Isn’t there a river next to us? Bring up some river water, and after I distill it, I’ll be able to collect distilled water that’s drinkable, and fill those empty bottles from earlier.”
Everyone: “…”
With a Chemistry teammate was like bringing a chef. A few bottles of mineral water were taken to make porridge, and Xin Yan could produce a few more bottles, so that they would not be short of water!
Hearing this, Jiang Pingce and Zhuo Feng immediately went to the river to fetch water. Xin Yan summoned a huge distillation flask, connected a full set of distillation equipment such as condensing tubes and receiving flasks, turned on a few spirit lamps next to it, and started boiling water.
Yue Xingwen suddenly thought of a problem and said, “By the way, we have no tableware. When we went to the supermarket at that time, the tableware had been snatched up. How can we eat this porridge when it’s ready? We can’t grab it with our hands, right?”
Xin Yan lowered his head and thought. His right hand suddenly lifted, and a string of round receiving flasks in the distillation equipment appeared in the air, and he said, “Break the mouth of the flask, and we can use it as a bowl. As for the eating utensils…”
Lin Manluo smiled and said, “I have an idea.” She suddenly summoned a long green vine and looked at Liu Zhaoqing, “Senior brother, let me borrow your scalpel for a while. I will use the vine to make chopsticks for everyone.”
Liu Zhaoqing did not know whether to cry or laugh as he gave her a few scalpels. A few girls got busy and in a flash, they had removed all the green leaves from the vines, cut the slender branches into lengths of about 20 centimeters, and cut 26 segments in a row, two by two, and made 13 pairs of clean and neat chopsticks.
Yue Xingwen gave a thumbs up and said, “Made on site, awesome!”
Xin Yan’s distillation flask’s temperature could reach 100 degrees in an instant. After covering the lid, removing the receiving flask, it became a closed ‘high pressure cooker’, cooking porridge extremely fast.
After a while, a pot of sweet ‘Longan Red Date Porridge’ was completed.
Xin Yan connected the receiver to the exit of the distillation flask and said, “Okay, let’s eat.”
Everyone stepped forward to get the porridge.
Professor Tang looked at the scene in front of him with a look of horror—— They actually used a distillation flask for cooking, and the receiver as a bow? The vines that suddenly appeared were cut into pieces and used as chopsticks, and the car could fly at any time?
How did he feel that this group of people was even more powerful than mutants?
They are the best students of nation, of course they are more powerful than mutants!
Thank you for your translation 💙🤍🤍💙
With a team like that, camping 🏕️ in the wild would be like a stroll in the park.
Very important cooking
haha, Professor Tang’s three worldviews are shattering one right after the other! It’s okay Professor, luckily they are on your side and not the other!
Poor professor Tang, he can’t even puke to make himself feel better 😂
