Chapter 222 Pei Hening: Oh no, I've taken a leave of absence from work.
[Lemon Tree Lemon Fruit] tied the person up tightly, dragged the girl to open the passenger door, and immediately saw the mechanism installed on the front platform of the passenger seat.
"Was that the thing that attacked me just now?"
The girl snorted and turned her head away, ignoring her.
[Lemon Tree Lemon Fruit] paused for a moment, then decisively took action, quickly disassembling the mechanism to examine its operating principle.
[Lemon Tree Lemon Fruit] also noticed the burning candle behind the steering wheel and coldly removed it.
She looked at her name on the candle, then at the girl with a defiant expression, and decisively turned on the light screen to contact Wang Jingyun.

After dinner, Pei Hening saw Chu Xuange go into the alchemy room to get busy again, so she finished her homework and went into the alchemy room as well.
Pei Hening asked, "Do you need any help?"
Chu Xuange nodded and handed the camera to her: "Yes, baby. Just take pictures of my operation process, clapping is fine."
Pei Hening took the camera, adjusted its position, and nodded to him after making sure that only the hands and the potion-making table were captured in the shot.
"You can begin, baby."
While refining the ordered potion, Chu Xuange explained the steps involved in refining the potion and the selection of materials.
After recording six videos, it was already very late. Pei Hening went back to sleep, while Chu Xuange continued to refine the potions.
——
Fifty-seven days of survival on the highway, February 24th, 8675 in the highway calendar, day 17 of the blizzard map, outdoor temperature is -54 degrees Celsius.
After Pei Hening got up, she received good news: a player had been selling energy stones in the early hours of the morning, and 002 had traded them for her. She only needed one more energy stone to level up to level six.
Chu Xuange brought in the dried clothes and, seeing her in a good mood, asked, "So happy? Did something good happen?"
"I'm just one energy stone away from reaching level six."
Chu Xuange put the clothes into the wardrobe and said, "This is indeed a great thing. No wonder you're so happy. Get up and have breakfast. It's a Western-style breakfast today."
"Sandwiches and milk?"
After Chu Xuange put the things down, seeing her dawdling, he smiled and said, "No, it's pizza and mushroom soup."
She prefers steamed buns and soy milk to sandwiches and milk.
Pei Hening sat by the window, munching on pizza while looking out at the coastline.
Chu Xuange sat down next to her and ate his breakfast quietly.
"The temperature on this map is dropping like crazy. If it keeps dropping, even Tier 3 vehicles might not be able to withstand it."
"We can handle it. As long as there is air conditioning, we can handle it. Don't underestimate the resilience of life."
Chu Xuange added, "Moreover, Wang Jingyun can manage zones 99-999, so the survival rate among survivors may be lower."
Not all officially appointed administrators are capable of managing the regions they are responsible for.
The reason Pei Hening suffered so much in the previous timeline was partly because the officials sent to manage the situation at that time did not have the ruthless methods to suppress the troublemakers and gain the trust of the survivors.

[Wishing you prosperity]: Today's temperature is -54 degrees Celsius. Please do not get out of the car unless absolutely necessary.
[Thousands of Miles]: I don't have enough warm clothing. Who should I contact to register and buy more? @GongxiFacai
[Fairy Descending to Earth]: Looking for seals. @ThousandsOfMountainsAndRivers
[Spicy Strips with Steamed Buns]: @ThousandsOfMountainsAndWaters, you still haven't collected enough warm clothing after all this time? Looks like waiting for oranges is really painful.
[I don't understand]: By the way, why haven't I seen Sister Lemon and that occasionally crazy Loyal Brother lately? Could Loyal Brother have gotten himself killed for talking too much nonsense?
[Momo on a high]:?? Overthinking is a disease, it needs to be properly treated.
[Monkey Bro is the Best]: Sister Lemon has a job. She's at work right now. Do you need to talk to her?
[Lamb of Laziness]: I've been eating steamed buns for two days straight, I'm so cold I don't want to move. I'm begging Aunt Wu to open the cafeteria.
[Fairy Descending to Earth]: It's difficult. Aunt Wu has also gone to work.
[General Manager Li of AAA Building Materials]: Everyone's gone to work?
[DibiDibi]: Buhao, I've taken a break from work.
[As helpless as a dog]: Buhou, I've given up my job.
[In good spirits]: Buhou, I've taken a break from work.
[Lamb of Laziness]: Buhou, I've quit my job.
[The Runaway Mermaid]: Buhou, I've taken a break from work.
[Wishing you prosperity]:...I'm so bored, I've assigned you guys some work!
[Beautiful Frozen Lady]: Exactly! Assign them all the work, all the dirty and tiring jobs.
[Shark Ten Years]: If my mom knew how diligent I've been since I started working on highway survival, she'd probably be overjoyed.
[Old Invisible Man]: @SharkTenYearsIsItOkay? I'm much more diligent than you.
[Shark Ten Years]: Pshaw, I'm not going to compare myself to you. My mom said to look inward for the best.
[I really can't beat it]: I have a super serious problem. I think I've seen a ghost. I saw dark shadows slowly floating in front of my car.
[I really can't beat him]: [Image] [Image] [Image]
[I really can't beat him]: I really can't beat him!
[I can bury you in money]: I am a dialectical materialist.
[The Runaway Mermaid]: I am a dialectical materialist.
[Shark Ten Years]:???
[Ode to the Daylight]:???
[The Invisible Man]:???
[Lamb Who's Giving Up]:...
[The escaped mermaid]:? Try to mimic my speech.
Pei Hening ignored their banter and clicked on the photo sent by [I really can't beat them]. It was indeed a cluster of black mist, which was drifting orderly on the highway, looking somewhat like ghosts.
Pei Hening noticed that there was a clear gap between the black fog and the heavy snow. The snowflakes did not get close to him and did not blend into the fog like a real fog.
Could these black mists be sentient beings?
She leaned back in her chair, looking at the photo, and unconsciously grabbed two small cherries to eat. The sweet taste melted in her mouth, and her tightly furrowed brows relaxed a little.
[Amphibious Bird]: @I really can't beat Black Mist, is it still there? I'll locate you.
[I really can't beat them]: I'm still here, I don't even dare to drive, please come quickly.
"Beep beep—"
Pei Hening noticed that the message came from "Highway Ice Cream Shop" in the [Member Exclusive] section.
[Highway Ice Cream Shop]: Dear Valued Guest, Our shop will be participating in the "Wisteria Merchants Association Exhibition and Sales Event" (February 29th, Highway Calendar 8675, St. Wing Convention Center). We sincerely invite you to join us. A reserved seat has been prepared for you; we look forward to your visit. (Attached: Electronic Invitation and Navigation for the Wisteria Merchants Association Exhibition and Sales Event)
Pei Hening raised an eyebrow. Wasn't this just like a pillow coming to someone who was sleepy?
She was wondering how to get an invitation from the Wisteria Chamber of Commerce, but the Highway Ice Cream Shop delivered it to her unexpectedly.
But this location—the St. Wing Convention Center?—doesn't seem to be a roadside stop.
