Apocalypse: Last Traveler

Back in the car, let Gou connect the power to the air conditioner, and after a while, it finally warmed up.

Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei sat back in their seats, exhaled slowly, feeling extremely comfortable.

In this freezing weather, stepping out of the car makes your face ache with cold, and it feels as though your ears might fall off. It's only slightly better inside the station room.

Yet, nowhere inside this station is as comfortable as the car. This air conditioner that can still function smoothly in the freezing cold is simply a blessing in this end-of-the-world scenario.

Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei looked at each other and couldn't help but start laughing.

"Thinking about it, we're Neo-Humans, we're really lucky. I see those ordinary people, more or less all seem to have frostbite, especially on their ears, they can't escape it."

He sighed with emotion.

Yao Wei nodded, saying, "Hmm."

Again this familiar "Hmm," she felt Lu Xi'an was right, and when she had no other suggestions, she always had only this one word.

Lu Xi'an initially tried counting how many "Hmms" Yao Wei said in a day, but now he had given up.

"Hmm" happens too often, there's really no point in counting.

"But I still don't understand, how did we, pretty normal, become Neo-Humans?"

Lu Xi'an said. He thought there was no way Yao Wei would respond with "Hmm" to this question.

Sure enough, Yao Wei answered with three words: "I don't know."

Lu Xi'an: "..."

This question, next time there's a chance to meet Luo Ping, must ask him about it. Forgot to ask last time.

That guy even knows the model of Neo-Humans, surely he would also know how they appeared and why they appeared.

Plus, what model of Neo-Humans do Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei classify as, it should also be asked.

After warming up in the car for a bit, Lu Xi'an felt comfortable all over, his fingers becoming flexible again, so he took Yao Wei's toolbox and got out of the car.

As he got out, Yao Wei also opened the co-driver's door.

So he turned back and said: "You don't need to get out, it's terribly cold outside."

But Yao Wei shook her head and said: "I want to take a look too."

Yao Wei just thought she should follow suit, couldn't leave Lu Xi'an to busy himself in the cold.

This woman is always determined, Lu Xi'an then didn't persuade her further, thinking to get it over quickly, called Gou down too.

Removed the main computer case, opened the toolbox, found the model matching screwdriver, unscrewed the small screws on the back cover of the main case one by one, removed the board, the dust-filled interior of the computer case appeared before Lu Xi'an's eyes.

Lu Xi'an took a look and asked Gou: "Gou, can you fix it?"

Gou blinked twice, raised its dog leg hanging a toy motorcycle tire, expressing I'm just a dog, I don't even have hands, how do you want me to fix it.

Lu Xi'an had to sigh and said: "Then just check if there are any broken parts in this assembly?"

Gou would then flash its dog eyes, scanning the motherboard, hard drive, graphics card one by one, afterward the dog eyes shined bright, indicating no problems.

Lu Xi'an seeing the situation, thought for a moment, said: "Then let's try cleaning the accumulated dust."

In the previous world, he definitely wouldn't attempt such work easily, anyway when his computer case filled with dust it would still function normally, once tried cleaning it up, after cleaning it couldn't boot up.

But now this computer wouldn't start anyway, he's just here with nothing to do, randomly trying, it doesn't matter.

No matter how bad the situation becomes, it would still just not start as before. Lu Xi'an then found a cloth to try dusting off.

Ideally, in such situations, there should be a brush handy, but unfortunately, there isn't one here, a cloth would have to do.

Anyway, Lu Xi'an wouldn't try blowing with his mouth, that's just being against one's own mouth and nose.

Yao Wei also got hands-on to help, both of them cleaned the accumulated dust inside the main computer pretty well, and after checking the wires and monitor with Gou, confirming there were no issues, reconnected the cables.

Then let Gou restore the power, pressed the switch.

"Whir-whir-whir-whir——"

The main computer surprisingly resurrected!

"What kind of magic is this?!"

Even Lu Xi'an couldn't help but exclaim. At this moment he somewhat doubted whether this computer might be a specially supplied end-of-the-world computer, normal ones wouldn't be so easily fixed.

Yao Wei glanced at Lu Xi'an, wondering what magic is.

The monitor had always been functional and could turn on, just unable to display content. The main computer was the one unresponsive before.

The computer case "whir-whir-whir" groaned for at least five minutes, Lu Xi'an smacked the case several times, finally letting the monitor light up.

This is because both Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei have enough patience, and nothing else to do, if it were someone else, probably couldn't wait for this moment.

After the computer lit up, the display showed the time as September 20th, 2098. Lu Xi'an speculated that this might be the factory time, that timeframe could indeed be a specially supplied end-of-the-world computer.

After being unused for years, this computer is extremely laggy, Lu Xi'an patiently operated for half a day, browsing through the desktop and folders completely.

This machine, which could possibly be a specially supplied end-of-the-world computer, from the old world faculty, doesn't contain much, but still far more than what's at Tan Village Shelter.

There's an accounting system, a video player, and a music player.

The accounting system is just a simple accounting system, not interconnected with the fueling machine like in the previous world.

Lu Xi'an doesn't know whether it's this world's system being backward or the old world specially made it like this before the apocalypse to prevent the system from linking to the fueling machine, causing the inability of timely refueling when the system gets damaged.

Thinking nowadays each fueling machine being able to function as long as the circuit is connected, it's probably related to this.

The networking for the players has all been cut off.

But it doesn't matter, Lu Xi'an found locally stored videos and music inside the folders.

He tried playing a local video, seemed to be a movie, but the screen was blurry, looking like illicitly recorded in a theater.

However, the lively street scenery that appeared in the video made Yao Wei stunned for quite some time.

"Is this the old world?"

She asked.

"Yes."

Lu Xi'an sighed.

"Really nice."

Yao Wei sighed with emotion.

"Yes, really nice."

Lu Xi'an smiled, turned off the computer, stood up, smiled back at Yao Wei, saying, "Never mind, we're actually doing quite well now.

"Look at us, we have a car and air conditioning, rice and vegetables and meat, plus now we've got a computer, can watch movies and listen to music, isn't that great."

"Hmm."

Yao Wei, hearing Lu Xi'an talk, quickly adjusted her mindset, nodded, showing agreement.

Lu Xi'an upon seeing it, thought to himself, Yao Wei indeed is Yao Wei, adjusting emotions so quickly.

Just like himself, really impressive.

He said: "Let's go, we'll move the computer back to the car, before departure, we'll have a good pastime. Really a good thing!"
