172 Being Straightforward

After nightfall, Zhao Chuchu went back to the city.

Xie Heng insisted on seeing Zhao Chuchu off because it was not safe for women to travel at night.

If Zhao Chuchu couldn’t see what Xie Heng had in mind, she would have lived all these years in vain.

She didn’t expect Xie Heng was being straightforward and didn’t hide his feelings for her.

Zhao Chuchu pretended not to know.

Although Xie Heng looked very pleasing to the eye, Zhao Chuchu felt she should not be so moved by Xie Heng.

She would have to stay in the city for a while longer, and when Xie Heng calmed down, he would probably know what to do.

The feelings of young people would come and go quickly.

Zhao Chuchu comforted herself with this and did not consider that Xie Heng was a reborn person. How could his feelings be just a momentary impulse?

“Da Lang, if I had a faster means of transportation than a horse carriage, could you keep it a secret?”

“Do you know how to fly using swords?”

“No, but it runs faster than a horse and is called a car where I came from.”

“What does it look like?”

“Kind of like a four-sided iron box with wheels underneath.”

Xie Heng couldn’t imagine what such an iron box looked like.

“Do you want to use it?”

“Yes, Da Lang, do you want to have a go?”

It was already the middle of the night. It should be okay to enjoy a little speed and passion!

Otherwise, it would be a waste to hoard so many supplies and not use them.

“It’s so dark now. Will it be safe?”

Xie Heng was a little worried.

Zhao Chuchu stopped.

In the darkness, Xie Heng saw Zhao Chuchu wink playfully at him, and his heart seemed to have skipped a beat again.

Zhao Chuchu took out a motorcycle from the carry-on space.

“This is not an iron box!”

“Well, this one is indeed not.”

“What’s it called?”

“It’s a motorbike.”

Probably the love of motorbikes was the nature of men.

Although it was the first time Xie Heng saw this bulky-looking guy, he still couldn’t help but reach out and touch the smooth lines of the car’s body.

“Can this run faster than a horse?”

“Of course.”

“Then can I have a go?”

“No, it’s not the same as riding a horse. In our place, you have to pass an exam at the official’s place. Only if you pass the exam can you receive the paperwork that allows you to ride, and then you can only ride it on the road. Otherwise, you will be fined.”

“So, if you want to use it, when the time comes, you can say to the public that it is an iron-armored Kylin, created by the Sky Worker.”

“Sky Worker?”

“Sky Worker is a skilled craftsman, proficient in all mechanisms, and famous for many years. It was said that he had left behind a strange book called ‘The Essentials of Mechanisms’, on which all kinds of powerful mechanisms are recorded.”

“So it’s something that a lot of people wanted?”

“No matter, in a sense, the Xie family is also considered the descendants of the Sky Worker, so it’s no big deal to know about us knowing a few mechanisms?”

Zhao Chuchu gave Xie Heng a meaningful look.

“You really like taking responsibility for everything, don’t you?”

“It’s not hard for someone to find out about this, so I’m not really lying. Chuchu, what else do you have? Take it out and let me have a look. I’ll take a look for you.”

“There’s this as well.”

Zhao Chuchu waved her hand, and an off-road vehicle appeared in front of them.

Xie Heng was rendered speechless.

Zhao Chuchu had billions worth of supplies. Evidently, the supplies would include things used for eating, living, and traveling.

Zhao Chuchu had first planned to find a place and live in secret. Cars were prepared just in case she needed them.

However, who would have thought that she would have died so meaninglessly? She didn’t expect herself to be killed by something falling from high above the ground.

With that thought in mind, Zhao Chuchu cursed the person who killed her and his family one more time.

“How long would it take to reach the city using this iron box?”

Zhao Chuchu thought about it and answered, “About half an hour.”

If it had been on the roads in her previous life, it would probably only take 15 minutes.

“That fast?”

“Then do you want to have a go?”

Zhao Chuchu had planned to take Xie Heng on the motorbike, but she remembered that she was wearing a skirt. Therefore, she had to put the motorbike back.

She opened the passenger seat door and signaled Xie Heng to get on.

Xie Heng was very curious about such things.

He did as he was told. The comfortable seats surprised him as well.

However, the smell of the car made him a little uncomfortable.

Zhao Chuchu pulled out the seatbelt and wrapped it around Xie Heng before buckling him in.

Xie Heng looked at her dark hair, and a light scent filled his nose.

Xie Heng closed his eyes.

A matter of seconds felt like a long time to him.

After Zhao Chuchu had strapped him in, she straightened herself and smiled. “Da Lang, you can tell me when you feel uncomfortable. Many people would be carsick when they travel in the car for the first time.”

“I’ll be fine.” Xie Heng smiled. A secret like this, which only the two of them knew about, made Xie Heng feel very happy. It was a feeling that he couldn’t really put into words.

Zhao Chuchu turned and walked to the other side of the car before getting in.

Driving a car in ancient times was something she didn’t dare think about in the past. However, she was someone who traveled back in time with assets that were worth billions.

Although the picture didn’t seem to match, it was still exhilarating.

The zombies were attracted to sound, so Zhao Chuchu’s cars were all custom. They made a minimal sound.

Xie Heng thought it was similar to a horse carriage, but he then realized he was wrong!

How amazing was the world that Zhao Chuchu came from?

The road wasn’t flat, but he couldn’t feel the bumpiness at all. The scenery outside seemed to be flying past him. Xie Heng was genuinely shocked, but he didn’t really show it.

“Da Lang, how do you feel?”

“It’s like one of those magical items they say in the books.”

If the borders were to be engaged in battle, using this iron box would be much fast than their emergency contact methods.

If there were a bigger iron box to deliver supplies, it would really give them a huge advantage.

“Do you have the blueprints for this?” asked Xie Heng. “If you do, would the Wei Dynasty be able to produce these?”

“Nope.” Zhao Chuchu shook her head.

The Wei Dynasty was behind in technology. The materials required alone would be a problem for them, not to mention the theory behind how to make cars. It was something that even she didn’t know.

Xie Heng felt it was a pity.

In his mind, if the Wei Dynasty could produce these boxes, then its power would increase to a whole new level.

Zhao Chuchu could roughly guess what Xie Heng was thinking.

Xie Heng definitely wasn’t asking for the blueprints for himself. He was asking it for the country.

However, it was just that there was nothing she could do.

Zhao Chuchu began telling Xie Heng about trains, planes, and ferries. Xie Heng was getting more and more of the idea that Zhao Chuchu lived in a world of immortals.

Otherwise, how could people fly or go underground?

“If there’s a chance, I do want to go to look at the world you lived in.”

“Don’t think that’s possible. The world is now like hell.”

It was the end of the world. To ordinary people, it was no different than hell.

“Why’s that?”

Zhao Chuchu didn’t want to continue on this subject.

In terms of feelings, the end of the world has always been a pain in the hearts of humans.

After living in that cruel world, even the poor conditions of the Wei Dynasty felt like heaven.

They arrived outside the city in exactly half an hour.

Xie Heng was shocked.

“Da Lang, are you going to go back by yourself? Do you need a life?” Zhao Chuchu smiled.

Xie Heng shook his head. “No. I can go back by myself. Otherwise, there’s no end to this.”

The two got off, and Zhao Chuchu put the car away. She entered the city under Xie Heng’s watch.
