There were no twists and turns in the process of picking up the fat man.
Although there are still stranded accident vehicles everywhere on the national highway, the administrative agencies in Kangyue County are no less efficient than Lelai, and have already completed basic road clearance with preliminary modified construction machinery.
So although the speed of the traveling team was not very fast, they still found the broken down big G two hours later, that is, at about 8:30.
When Zhou You and others arrived, Jiang Zhou, a big guy with a big heart, not only did not feel the embarrassment of the trapped people, he was even very comfortable.
He was cooking a large cup of instant noodles using the large outdoor power supply he carried in his car, just like he was having a picnic.
The result was good. More than 20 operatives, including Zhou You, first had a late-night snack of instant noodles, which was not considered delicious in the past but now seems to be okay.
The supper prepared by Jiang Zhou was meant for other people.
Although he is a rich second generation, he is also familiar with emotional intelligence and knows how to deal with others.
After having a supper, Shen Ling immediately started to lead a team to modify and repair the cockpit of this big G.
Although Shen Ling, the chief vehicle modification engineer within the Zhou family, was not present, the equally versatile Shen Ling was not bad at it now.
The first version of the non-standard cockpit that the father and daughter vacated did not stall the hybrid off-road travel. Now that the technology is more mature, it is no problem.
Although the cockpit of Jiang Zhou's car is also non-standard, the workmanship of the frame is not bad. Moreover, Shen Moxin and a wild auto repair expert who specializes in Mercedes-Benz found by Deng Tao from the county town are remotely assisting, making modification and repair difficult. None are big.
But it seems that because of the previous disconnection, two capacitors were ablated, and the capacitors had to be replaced.
It seemed like this was a big trouble, but it still didn't bother Shen Ling.
Because many of the high-end models brought back by Jiang Zhou have electrified designs, there are many capacitors of various specifications on the circuit boards inside. Just find suitable disassembly parts and replace them.
While Shen Ling was busy leading the team, Zhou You and Jiang Zhou were sitting on the dashboard of Big G, drinking noodle soup and chatting.
This guy really didn't realize that he had done anything stupid. Instead, he proudly boasted about his abilities.
"I'm not bragging to you. You came back from Chengdu with this Miss Shen anyway. We are different. We are going on the road alone. Although the national highway is smooth now, the highway is really exciting. There are a lot more cars. And even though engineering vehicles are now on the road, there are still cars that break down on the road in the middle of a run. Mine is jumping left and right in the convoy, it’s so exciting!”
"It doesn't matter that I'm broken down now, but I'm very powerful on the highway, and I also helped the construction truck tow several times and saved a lot of people. Hehehe. I also encountered something on the way, a The young lady’s BMW went straight out of the fence, with half of the car hanging outside. The situation was very critical at that time. It was too late, but it was too fast. I rushed down with a little effort and worked with her to tie up the hitch of her car. The nylon rope was used to drag the car back, but it was a pity that her car could not move and had to meet up with the road administration. Otherwise, when I went back to Lelai and she went to Fanyang, she could still go along the way."
Zhou You glanced at Jiang Zhou, who was sweating profusely from drinking the noodle soup, and rolled his eyes, "You are rescuing a car, not a person. Why are you so proud?"
Jiang Zhou drank the noodle soup from the bottle cap in front of him in one gulp, then burped and looked back at the back seat of the car.
Over there, Shen Ling was leading someone to dismantle his 20-to-1 movable Optimus Prime. Seeing this, Jiang Zhou looked slightly disappointed, "Oh, this version of Optimus Prime is out of print. It is a limited edition worldwide. One thousand units, I spent a lot of money to get this one numbered 777, this is heroic."
Zhou Youxiao asked: "Then do you want Big G or Optimus Prime?"
"If it were in the past, I would definitely want Optimus Prime. My Big G is not a limited edition. You can buy it again if you run out of it, but the official movable Transformers with a special number are the only ones in the world."
Zhou You was convinced.
This guy has such a temperament. Once he decides to like something, he is really devoted and extremely enthusiastic.
Of course, his family's financial resources can fully support this fanatical hobby.
In the past, Zhou You was actually a little disdainful of Jiang Zhou's hobby. After all, he felt that playing with things would detract from his ambition.
But after getting in the car, I saw that this guy had almost filled the car with fanatical plastic man’s inventory, and Zhou You wanted to give him a thumbs up.
With these inventories, for example, multi-legged robots, individual soldier exoskeletons, and even simple wheeled fire-breathing robot dogs that had no clue about the materials before and could only stay at the design level can be seriously put on the agenda.
"These things you brought back will definitely be used in the end, not bad."
"Hehe, that's great. When the time comes, you and I, and Yuan Yike, we will form a team! I will continue to be my boss and provide you with logistics, and you will be responsible for going out to charge into battle, but you still have to pay attention to safety. .Yuan Yi can handle administration for us. Our three swords combine to become the Three Musketeers! Wherever there is something going on in the county, we will be there. We are the domestic supermen of Lelai County!"
Jiang Zhou seemed to be getting more and more excited as he talked. He even jumped up when he was talking and made a middle two gesture with his arms raised and shouting.
Zhou You’s eyelids twitched as he watched.
This good guy used to work hard with his brain when he was studying. He was also managed by his family. His horizontal development was quite acceptable. He was 1.7 meters tall and only weighed 170.
After entering college, his parents were not around to watch him, so he let it go. There must have been no one to take care of him when he was alone in Lucheng City.
It's really incredible now. According to Jiang Zhou's current body shape, before humans shrunk, he would have been 1.68 meters tall and weighed over 200, who knows how far.
Don't ask why it's 1.68 meters instead of 1.7 meters. Just ask because it's too stressful.
As he raised his arms and shouted, his fat belly jumped out from the loose silk vest, and the fat shook like a tsunami.
Moreover, just moving a little like this seemed to consume a lot of his energy. He was so tired that he ate and breathed deeply.
There was also sweat on both sides of the temples.
Zhou You covered his face, still wanting to persuade him.
"Although your out-of-shape figure is related to your previous illness, and it is indeed impossible to completely lose weight to the level of an ordinary person, you can't give up on yourself like this, right? When you go back, you still have to control your diet a little, and then exercise more appropriately. I Let me tell you something. My eldest uncle used to have many old problems that caused him to get sick from overwork, but after shrinking this time, most of them were cured without medicine. I think you may have similar changes, and I don’t expect you to be able to practice. I am like this, but I really should get better. Your current physical condition is too poor."
As he spoke, Zhou You looked at Jiang Zhou's face, which was already paler due to his fatness, becoming even paler due to deep breathing and sweating, and then added: "I'm afraid it's not just your physical fitness, but your cardiopulmonary function must also have serious problems.
.”
Jiang Zhou wiped the sweat from his forehead and sat down, "Okay, I'll listen to you. Once you get back settled, I'll start practicing."
"But the intensity can't be too high at the beginning. It has to be done bit by bit."
"I know." Jiang Zhou said with a smile, "You are the only one who can control me. Hey, when I asked you to come when I opened the store, you refused to come. If you have to keep an eye on me, how could I degenerate like this?
Oh, forget it, I was just joking with you. I don’t know about you. If you want to be richer than my dad, you can’t work for me. Hehe. Then you have to work harder.
.”
"Hey." Zhou You curled his lips.
It's amazing to say that the quarrel with Jiang Zhou made him relax a lot, which had been dull and depressed since watching General War.
This is probably the importance of best friends.
The human spirit cannot be tense all the time, it always needs appropriate relaxation.
"However, times have changed again. In the past, money may not really count. Now, ability is valuable. If you understand it from this perspective, you are now the richest person in our county. I also read your news.
I've seen it all, it's amazing, it's really amazing, you are just like Spider-Man, you suddenly mutated and became our superhero. I really envy you."
Zhou You patted his elastic and choppy shoulders, "Envy? Just envy, just practice when you get back. In fact, the over-limit state does not select people, and there are not many people with extraordinary talents. Everyone has a chance. No matter you
, or Yuan Yike, it’s all the same. There is already a second over-limit person in my house, and his name is Lin Yao. So, you really can do it too."
When Jiang Zhou heard this, he immediately became interested, "Really? Is there such a thing? I didn't know about it before. Tell me how the guy named Lin Yao did it? I'll learn! I'll learn from him!"
Zhou You was silent for a moment, but then thought of Lin Yao's tragic experience.
How to learn this thing?
How can we learn it?
If he really wants to follow Lin Yao's path, Zhou You would rather he never become an overachiever.
Zhou You quickly changed his words, "Don't think that these are not available. Although everyone has a chance, we still have to talk about opportunities. Everyone is a different independent individual, so it is difficult to say who to learn from when it comes to breaking through the super limit state.
. Let’s just say that at that time, I was really just a hair away from death, so I was forced to break through the limiter and open the genetic lock. As for you, don’t think so far ahead. As I say, lose weight first.
Come down and lay a better foundation."
"clear!"
Zhou You clenched his fist hard.
But he obviously didn't take the reminder of wandering seriously. He even looked up at the stars and began to wander around the world again. He was probably dreaming of a heroic dream after becoming a superman.
Zhou You didn't bother to expose his dream, and just let him let his thoughts run wild.
At this moment, a bright flash suddenly lit up behind the mountain in the distance.
It was a huge and thick lightning that fell from the sky, pierced the night sky like a halberd of the gods, and hit the back of the mountain hard.
Zhou You immediately covered his ears.
Jiang Zhou looked back at Zhou You with a confused expression, and asked hurriedly: "What? What is that? A vision from the sky? It's me because I just made up my mind..."
Rumble, rumble...
Before Jiang Zhou finished speaking, he heard a deafening thunderstorm coming from a distance.
The sound was so loud that Jiang Zhou's ears were buzzing and other people in the car were startled.
When the thunder passed, Zhou You immediately stood up, walked to the instrument panel, and urged: "Everyone must move faster, it's going to rain heavily. It hasn't rained for many days, and the scale of this rain will not be big."
Xiao. This is indeed a troublesome matter. Also, I saw the movement of the clouds just now through the light of the lightning. It is probably going to leave... Forget it, I will call my dad immediately. "
This kind of emergency weather forecast made in person in front of the rain clouds is indeed more accurate than the weather bureau's.
Zhou Youxian notified his father immediately, asking the Zhou family to immediately prepare for rain protection and move all the remaining materials piled in the courtyard that could not withstand the heavy rain to the room.
Of course, during the tour, my father also remembered to tell the county so that everyone could make preparations as soon as possible.
Especially those small number of one-man airships on duty at night that may still be floating in the sky, they must take action as soon as possible.
If you can return to the settlement in time, go back to the settlement as soon as possible.
Those who were too late to return to the settlement immediately found a safe area to land and then waited for support.
Zhou You had just finished making a call, and Shen Ling also notified the operators in the hybrid off-road vehicle next to her by phone, asking everyone to turn off their mobile phones immediately and not make any more calls.
All the headlights were turned off.
Since it is a summer rainstorm, the lightning and thunder will definitely not be the only one. Safety comes first in everything.
After finishing all this, sure enough, the second bolt of lightning pierced the sky and landed on the ground.
After the second flash of lightning, a third flash of lightning fell from the sky together with a sudden downpour.
This rain was pumped to maximum horsepower from the very beginning.
It's really like a wicked god standing in the sky, holding an eternal basin and pouring water down.
Looking at the waterfall on the front windshield that completely blocked his view, Zhou You frowned into a "~" shape.
I had read the weather forecast before when I set out from Lelai County.
However, the weather forecast did not say that there will be sudden thunderstorms in Lelai and Kangyue counties tonight, but it said that there will be heavy rain to moderate rain during the day tomorrow.
Although I have always known that weather forecasts cannot be completely reliable, this rain still came like an assassin's sneak attack.
"A lot of people are going to be caught off guard tonight."
Zhou You sighed in his heart.
He also thought that by tomorrow, the number of more than 13 million would probably increase by at least a small amount.
Heavy rains of this magnitude, even in the past, may have caused casualties.
Now, needless to say.
That is to say, not far from the intersection of this highway, there is a small town of small size.
Instinct tells Zhou You that something will happen there tonight and someone will die.
He wanted to go and save people.
But in the end he didn't really do anything.
With the current size of human beings, the risk for him to brave heavy rain in the wild is too great, even so great that he is not willing to bear it.
As for driving the car there?
I'm afraid that's not possible. Although the town is less than 500 meters away from the national highway, there is no road directly connecting to the national highway from the town.
In other words, even if he took a slight detour, Zhou You wouldn't know if he could get out of the car and save someone.
In the majesty of heaven and earth, human beings in the past would also appear small, let alone today?
Due to the threat of heavy rain, Shen Ling further accelerated the speed of repairing the cockpit. About half an hour later, when the time reached a little past nine o'clock at night, the repairs were completed.
There is bad news, the heavy rain outside has reached an extreme level at this time, and it has no intention of stopping.
The good news is that the thunder finally stopped and communications with the outside world can be restored.
And everyone's phone calls are still open, indicating that at least the power supply and communication systems have not yet been affected by the heavy rain.
The continuous heavy rain will of course affect driving, and visibility is indeed very low.
But no one knew how long it would take for the rain to stop. Considering that the longer it rained, the greater the risk of landslides along the national highway, everyone decided to set off in the rain as soon as possible without delay.
Ever since, the two cars were chasing the rain clouds.
Nearly three hours passed, until after twelve o'clock at night, the two cars finally drove into the Second Ring Road of Lelai County one after another.
At this time, the street lights next to the Lelai Second Ring Road intersection that had just been replaced were still bright.
The heavy rain has also become lighter.
The rain clouds are still overhead, but it seems that they have vented enough.
Originally, Zhou You wanted to send Jiang Zhou home directly.
But Jiang Zhou keenly noticed that everyone else in the car looked a little drowsy at this time.
Especially Shen Ling, her eyes were black and she was shaking, almost falling down.
It's not that Shen Ling's physical condition can't keep up, but that she is really tired these days.
It’s just that she didn’t sleep well last night. Early this morning she was heavily involved in the development and production of a single-person airship.
In the afternoon, she served as a traveling flight controller and participated in the battle to regain the Supermarket.
After finishing the matter, he immediately followed Zhou You and went out to rescue Jiang Zhou. He even took the lead in repairing and modifying the cockpit of Big G, which even an iron man couldn't handle.
Shen Ling didn't have as many functions as Luo Xun, but she was still squeezed dry by Zhou You, the black-hearted boss.
So, Jiang Zhou said: "It's past twelve o'clock now, and your home is in the new district, and my home is in the center of the county. If you take me back and go home, you will have to delay for more than half an hour. It's not good. Anyway, it's raining now." It’s stopped, I can drive back by myself. You go back and rest first.”
Zhou You shook his head, "No, they're all here, I'll send them back."
"Hey, if it's really just you, I won't be polite to you, but you also have to consider the status of your brothers and sisters." Jiang Zhou shook his head firmly, "Hey, it's okay, it's really okay. I have all the bad luck today. It was all used up when it broke down! With this distance, what else could happen if I drive back by myself? I’m not a three-year-old! Go back, you all go back. I’ll come find you tomorrow after I’ve rested, and I’ll follow you from now on. You're messing around."
Seeing that Jiang Zhou's attitude was very firm, Zhou You thought about it and found that this was indeed the truth, so he didn't insist anymore, "Okay then. See you tomorrow."
"Well, see you tomorrow."
The two cars parted ways.
The traveling hybrid off-road vehicle followed the direction of the Second Ring Road to the new district.
Jiang Zhou's Big G turned around the T-junction and ran towards the interior of the county town.
At this moment, neither of them realized one thing.
It's already past twelve o'clock in the morning, and it's already the next day.
