Chapter 415: A New Route and the White Rose (Part 2)

The Tang family cherished the amount of T2 crystal cores they had. While T3 zombies had appeared and become dominant, the T2s’ appearance wasn’t that long ago.
Therefore, in their opinion, the T2 crystal cores were still precious. Especially for Mr. Tang, who could actually feel the pain in his heart.
But Tang Susu had her own reasons.
“Next is about the return trip.” She didn’t let them talk for too long. She flipped the moving blackboard behind her and revealed a map of the country.
The map was huge, with very detailed markings. The Metahumans sat in the front row and could see them all clearly.
Although the ordinary people at the back couldn’t see clearly, they had little to do. They had studied the map for the past few days and knew about it.
No matter where they went, it would definitely be beneficial for them to memorize the map, especially if communication was cut off!
“The nearest route, which is the route from Province A to Province D, then to Province J and finally to Province S, can no longer be used because of the tsunami, especially when the water showed no signs of receding.”
“How could that be? Can’t we wait for a while more until the seawater recedes before leaving?” Someone was worried about that and asked.
“Because Fengxi City is at a lower elevation. Meanwhile, Jieming City and Yangtong City have built dikes. The seawater that has washed up is likely to stay in place for a long time, causing the cities to remain submerged. If we want to wait, it will take a long time.” Tang Mingqi who was sitting in front, analyzed rationally.
Many people had inquired about this and knew that it was true. In addition, the director of the Botanic Garden agreed with this point, so everyone was a little desperate.
“Can’t we use a ship?”
“And where can we get a ship? Who’s sailing? How are the supplies going to get transported? Sailing a ship in a place full of ruins and debris? Don’t tell me you want to use a boat to transport all our supplies in batches?” Tang Mingchu exposed their unrealistic fantasies.
“Besides, there’s many zombies soaking in the sea right now. They might pop out like gophers. There are also mutated creatures that were washed up from the sea. If the corpses are soaked for too long, they will also breed germs and start an epidemic…”
Every time Bai Yanhui showed them a finger, everyone’s face would turn a shade paler.
“What about flying?” After saying that, before the others could deny it, they themselves felt it wasn’t going to work.
Unless they were flying a helicopter. But a normal helicopter wouldn’t be able to carry so many people and supplies.
Meanwhile, a plane had to first reach cruising altitude. There were strict requirements for the weather, air pressure, wind speed, route, and so on. Most importantly, who could fly a plane? Who would dare to fly a plane with no data monitoring?
There might be some mutated birds in the sky. If something happened, the plane would crash with them along with it!
“It’s not that there’s no other way…” As Tang Susu spoke, she drew a new route between the black and red lines on the map. “It’ll take more time. We’ll come across many cities along the way, and there will be many variables.”
Shichang City was in the north of the central part of the country, while Chongzhou was in the southernmost part of the country. The distance from the capital to Shichang City was almost the same as the distance from Chongzhou to Shichang City.
Their route was chosen based on the principle that it was best to take the most timesaving route. They drove along the highway and roads, but they could also choose not to take such roads. They used provincial roads, county roads, and township roads in several cities. Some of them were too thin and difficult to mark on the map.
As long as they didn’t get lost, they could get anywhere.
However, it was difficult to assess the risk factor. The highways had fewer intersections and vehicles, the roads was wider, and there were not many zombies and mutated animals and plants.
As for not taking the major highways, it would be difficult to predict the road conditions. The road they take might be blocked, meaning they have to take detours. For long-distance journeys, they wouldn’t even consider these kinds of roads.
“Of course, there are the railway lines.”
Railway lines? Needless to say, the railway line was built to go through the most remote mountains and forests. It wouldn’t be fine unless they drove a high-speed train.
“Which one of you knows how to start a train?”
“You won’t be able to continue at all if there’s any problem with this kind of fixed route, alright?”
Everyone looked tired. No matter how they looked at it, Miss Tang’s new route was the easiest one. They need to first use the provincial roads first for the first half of the journey before taking the highway on the second half.
If Tang Susu didn’t have a mission that required her to go to Hongyan Forest, she would definitely take this route. At most, she would have to take detours and brave some more dangers..
