Savior Simulator
Chapter 800 Toll
In the blink of an eye, the road ahead was obscured by rain and fog, and visibility became very low.
Tangning, who was driving, pushed her sunglasses up on her forehead and raised her beautiful eyebrows.
The road conditions are already very bad, and coupled with the influence of bad weather, even if the fog lights are turned on, it is difficult to see the vehicles coming from the opposite direction. If you continue to drive, it is easy to cause an accident.
When Gao Fei saw the heavy rain and fog outside the window, he felt a little uneasy, so he spent a burst of astrolabe energy to awaken the sub-professional "Imulator", put on the "Mage Mask", and blessed Tangning with "Misty Sight" while driving.
Tangning's eyes suddenly lit up. Her eyes were unobstructed through the rain and fog, and she could clearly see the oncoming vehicles.
She turned to Gao Fei and smiled gratefully, and her hands that were originally holding the steering wheel relaxed.
The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and it has not stopped even after two hours.
The road undulated with the hills, and the jeep had to go up and down hills frequently.
Under the wash of rain, the mountain road became extremely slippery and the brakes almost lost their function. In order to ensure safety, Tang Ning had to manually adjust the gear to reduce the speed.
After climbing up the hill with difficulty, the downhill road ahead almost turned into an ice rink. The slippery road surface, coupled with the huge inertia brought by the downhill slope, made it difficult to control the speed of the car. If we lost control at the turn, the car would fall. Down the valley.
Ma Yun no longer suffered from motion sickness. She saw in the rearview mirror that Tang Ning was sweating on her forehead and seemed very nervous. She opened the car window to get some air and reminded Tang Ning, "The hillside is too steep. Drive slower."
"The slope is full of mud and water, and the tires can't grip the ground. I can't slow down even if I want to," Tangning replied helplessly.
"This kind of road conditions is very similar to the beginning of spring in Northeast China, where there is slippery mud, snow and broken ice. The brakes are ineffective and the tires have to be wrapped with chains to increase friction." Wang Daqing said.
"On the downhill section, there is no place to park. I don't have time to tie chains to the tires. I can only drive as far as I can, hoping nothing will happen..."
Qi Tian suddenly remembered his "bad luck" constitution and quickly swallowed back the last half of the ominous sentence.
Ma Yun listened to the two chatting and suddenly had an idea. She dug out two thumb-thick iron chains from the storage space of the new disk, with clasps on both ends.
Jiang Feng was deeply shocked when he saw this scene.
"Xiaoyun, why are you like Doraemon? You have everything in your pocket!"
"Sister Feng, this is a good habit I developed in the game!"
Ma Yun said cheerfully, "The most interesting part of the profession of magic weapon master is recycling garbage and turning waste into treasure!"
Xiaoma applied the "Secondary Activation Technique" to the two iron chains respectively. He controlled the two activated iron chains to climb out of the windows on the left and right sides respectively, drilled through the steel wire mesh, dropped down along the car door, and wound around itself. On the rear wheel of the car, connect them end to end and lock the snap ring.
The braking performance of the wheels wrapped with iron chains is indeed significantly improved, and the vehicle speed gradually changes smoothly.
Tangning breathed a sigh of relief and sincerely praised: "They are indeed the number one SWAT team in Yaoguang Station. Everyone has unique skills!"
The car went down the hillside and the rain stopped.
After driving forward for about an hour, a gas station sign appeared on the road ahead.
I drove from 8 a.m. to 12 noon. Due to the bad road conditions, I only covered a total of 160 kilometers. I had a full tank of fuel and more than half of it left.
There is just such a gas station on the way from Merauke to Hiti Town.
To be on the safe side, Tangning drove the car into the dilapidated service area and filled up the tank with gasoline.
There is no restaurant in the service area. The supermarket sells milk, bread, instant noodles and other fast food, and the prices are shockingly expensive.
Everyone felt that there was no need to spend this wasted money, so they took out the snacks they carried with them from the astrolabe for lunch, made do with filling their stomachs, returned to the car, and continued on their way.
The rain finally stopped and the road became smooth. However, just over half an hour after the car drove out, it was blocked again.
I don't know what went wrong on the road ahead. More than a dozen vehicles were blocked here. Except for Gao Fei and his party who were traveling by car, the others who were forced to break down were all long-distance freight trucks.
Tangning stepped on the brakes helplessly. No matter how reluctant she was, she had no choice but to get out of the car and understand the situation.
"Sister Tang! Pay attention to safety!" Ma Yun reminded from the back seat.
Tangning held the car door handle and turned around to comfort classmate Xiao Ma: "Although there are often robbers on the road, safety is higher in places where vehicles gather together. I'll go down and find out what happened. Just wait in the car. "
"I'll go down and have a look too." Gao Fei was worried about Tang Ning going out alone and followed her out of the car.
Seeing Gao Fei get out of the car, Jiang Feng couldn't sit still anymore. He stood up, opened the door, and said to his companions in the car: "I've been sitting on the train all morning and my back is sore. Why don't we all get down and do some exercise to relax our muscles and bones."
Everyone nodded in agreement and got out of the car one after another.
In fact, with their strength, they have nothing to worry about even if they encounter robbers. What they really need to be afraid of are the road bullies who are blind and blind.
Gao Fei followed Tangning to the front of the blocked road and saw a group of truck drivers gathering here and sighing.
Tangning stepped forward to inquire and soon learned the cause of the traffic jam.
According to villagers living nearby, the heavy rain in the morning caused a mudslide on the nearby hillside. A large number of rocks, sediment and trees fell down, blocking the road.
Just in the blocked area, Gao Fei saw a group of men and women dressed as villagers using simple tools to clean the road.
These villagers are natives of Irian Island, known as Papuans: dark brown skin, curly hair, wide nose, thick lips, deep eye sockets, high brow arches, and most of them are short.
These villagers speak in a local dialect, and Gao Fei can't understand what they are saying. Fortunately, the star disk has a simultaneous interpretation function that can help him overcome the language barrier.
In fact, there is no need for translation. Just by looking at the villagers' frequent gestures of "counting money", Gao Fei can easily guess their intentions.
The help of these villagers is not free.
All drivers who are stuck on the road have to pay a large toll, which is considered as the reward for hiring villagers to clear the road.
"How much do they want?" Gao Fei asked Tang Ning.
"One million per car."
"Ah?!" Gao Fei was shocked by this exaggerated number, "Sister Tang...you must be kidding me?"
"One million Batavia guilders, converted into RMB, is about 430 yuan." Tang Ning explained patiently.
"Oh, let's convert it using the exchange rate... then it's fine." Gao Fei said with relief.
"What's good about that? You really don't know the suffering of the people!" Tang Ning rolled his eyes at him, "In this country, a monthly income of 4 million dong is considered average! What's more, the southern part of Irian Island is a poor and backward area in Batavia, and the income level of the locals is even lower. 1 million dong is not a small amount!"
