I'm Hoarding for the Apocalypse Chapter 226 Modified Armored Vehicle

226 Modified Armored Vehicle

They parked the car near the mountain. The area was deserted, and there was only a farmer’s yard next to it. There was a one-story bungalow with a large yard that was big enough to park an armored vehicle. Houses like this were not earthquake resistant. The house had collapsed and was in ruins. However, Du Yue and He Xing did not care about this. They had no intention of staying here anyway.

The reason why they had to find a yard was actually to find cover so that they would not be noticed at a glance when they were modifying the armored vehicle. After they got out of the car, Du Yue and He Xing sprayed some pesticide, then scattered some insect-repelling powder on the walls of the collapsed house. After the problem with the bugs was solved, Du Yue took out the RV and placed it next to the armored vehicle.

Fortunately, the yard was very large, and it was very easy to accommodate two cars. With the RV, it was like they had a mobile home. No matter where they went or parked, they could have a place to rest and eat. They no longer had to worry about the wind or rain.

It was still early, but He Xing was not idle. “I’ll prepare the necessary things and we can start the modification.”

“Can I help you?” Du Yue asked.

He Xing thought for a moment and said, “You don’t have to help. If you want to learn, you can watch from the side.”

Learning one more skill meant that she could rely on herself more in the future. Of course, Du Yue was willing to learn. “Alright, I want to learn it.”

He Xing had already guessed Du Yue’s answer before she even opened her mouth, so he was not surprised at all. “Alright, I’ll teach you!”

Du Yue did not know much about cars, let alone refitting them. It was an area she had never been involved in.

However, He Xing was clearly a very responsible teacher. With his step-by-step guidance, Du Yue improved rapidly. The two of them only used three days to modify the armored vehicle. From the outside, the armored vehicle did not seem to have changed much. However, when one entered the vehicle, one would find that the control console, the seats, and even the structure inside were completely different from before.

The vehicle was a transport-type vehicle that was bulletproof and explosion-proof. Its attack was ordinary, but now, it was different. He Xing had made a lot of changes to it. He had added a battery that could rotate in all directions. When it was needed for an attack, they could use it to fire shots. Its power was astonishing.

In addition to these, they had also installed surveillance equipment. From the inside of the car, they could clearly see the situation outside the car in all directions to avoid any emergencies. The seats had been replaced with more comfortable ones while ensuring performance. The only thing that did not change was the back carriage. After all, the biggest use of the carriage was that it had a large s.p.a.ce and could be used for anything.

After the car was modified, the two of them naturally did not waste any more time and went back on the road. In the past few days, in addition to modifying the vehicle, they had also studied the future route. If it was before the apocalypse, it would only take about ten hours to get from the first base to Beidao City through the expressway.

However, in this thick fog, even if they took the expressway, they would not be able to speed up. Moreover, after the previous earthquake, no one knew what the current situation of the expressway was. After a discussion with He Xing, Du Yue decided to drive He Xing’s car on the expressway first. It would be best if the expressway was intact. However, if they could not take the expressway, they would just get off the expressway and take the national highway. As for which car to drive on the national highway, it would be decided by the road conditions.

The armored vehicle was very powerful, but it consumed a lot of gas. When there were other options, it was best not to use the armored vehicle. Changing cars might be a fantasy to others, but to Du Yue, it was a piece of cake. Naturally, she would do whatever was convenient for her.

After getting into the car, other than the sound of the wind blowing through the windows, only the explosive sound of the wheels crushing the bugs accompanied them. They had heard this sound many times and were a little used to it. It took a whole day to drive from the city to the expressway. Even He Xing could not help but sigh, let alone Du Yue.

With such a slow speed, there was no need to worry about a traffic accident. After all, there was no living thing on the road except for them. There were too many obstacles on the road that they had to stop and clear them themselves. Du Yue kept all the obstacles that she could clear in her inters.p.a.ce before throwing them to the side of the road. If the road had collapsed, they could also find a thick steel plate to lay on it and drive directly over. However, once they encountered a situation like a broken bridge, they could only turn back and choose another path.

However, there were many bridges and rivers in Qinghe City. There were even more bridges that were destroyed by the earthquake. On this day alone, they had turned around four times. It was already dark when they finally arrived at the expressway. The two of them were not in a hurry, so they naturally would not rush in the dark.
