Chapter 961 - 415 Autumn_2
Shana calculated, "The handcar has a speed of 20 kilometers per hour, and we are 120 kilometers away from the Western Peninsula. It will take 6 hours to get there. If all goes well, we can make a round trip within a day."
Stone said, "Are we not factoring in danger? I don’t believe Lin Wu will be dedicated to hand-cranking the whole way, and Lin Meng doesn’t have the physical strength. So it’ll definitely take no less than ten hours to get there."
Maya suggested, "Then let’s estimate two days for the trip. If we encounter a train blocking the way, we’ll just hide the handcar and proceed on foot. Besides, Stone and I have discussed recruiting a professional doctor in the past few days, and the Western Peninsula should be a good choice."
Little Knife added, "Frankly, it’s too boring here, so it wouldn’t hurt to go out for a change. If the handcar can make a path to the Western Peninsula, we can take the Stone mobile for a drive in the future."
Everyone agreed, and Lin Wu asked, "Anyone want to step up and take Lin Meng’s place?"
Lin Meng clasped his hands over his chest and looked pitifully at everyone.
Shana said, "I’ll prepare insulin injections for Lin Meng and keep them in a foam box with ice blocks. They should be fine for two days." Where would the ice come from? Naturally from the refrigerator, which they had acquired at the railway bridge base after putting the Stone mobile into use.
Maya confirmed, "Alright, let’s do it that way. Snow Egg, drive the Stone mobile onto the branch line so we can get the handcar through. Lin Wu and Lin Meng, get ready. Don’t carry rifles; they’re too conspicuous. Bring handguns instead, with extra bullets. Also pack food, water, lighters, drones, flashlights, ropes, and other regular travel essentials."
Little Knife said to Lin Wu, "Try to bring back some rice or flour."
"Got it," Lin Wu said, standing in front of the stove, resting a hand on the railway bridge’s railing, and looking back at everyone, "If I die, let this be my headstone. Engrave on it everything worth bragging about, and everything not."
