Chapter 282 Good News
"Oh, and he also has a military radio and a satellite phone!"
Xu Si seemed to remember something, his spirits lifted again, and he jumped off his seat once more, rushing to the back of the carriage to search for the military radio he had just acquired.
He knew it, he knew these things would be useful sooner or later!
If others can't get in touch with the Bright Team, he certainly can.
Once he makes contact with the Bright Team, he can let his sister know he exists.
He suddenly turned from sorrow to joy, and his face, which had just been streaked with tears, was now covered with a smile.
One moment she's crying, the next she's laughing; Xu Si doesn't understand herself either.
"Repeat, this is the Bright Car Team..."
The intercom system continued to report, but Xu Si took out all his strangely dropped items and the military radio.
Deer beads, tooth beaks, pierced crystalline crystals, spore eyes, decaying stone, sand-nest mother beetle.
It's no use, it's no use, it's still no use.
Xu Si tested all the strange drops one by one.
However, none of them were compatible with military radios.
Xu Si's excitement receded like the tide, leaving behind only the cold reality.
However, he was not discouraged.
It's okay, the eerie can never be completely eradicated.
Wherever there is something strange, there will be a constant stream of strange occurrences, and there will always be something that can be paired with a military radio.
Xu Si's murderous aura was more intense than ever before.
"Commander, your heart rate fluctuation has exceeded the normal threshold by 127%. We recommend that you immediately adjust your breathing rhythm and initiate the emergency sedation procedure."
The neutral synthesized sound of "Nirvana" echoed in the car, while pale red warning signs for physiological indicators flashed on the screen.
But Xu Si ignored it.
He stood in the cold carriage, several strange items scattered around him, his starry eyes fixed on the camouflage military radio.
Get in touch with them...
As long as we can get in touch...
This thought spread like wildfire and was impossible to suppress.
The initial ecstasy upon learning of Apollo's existence has now transformed into a more intense and obsessive longing.
They flew down from her little nest and gently landed on Xu Si's violently trembling shoulder.
She didn't speak, but simply placed her small, slightly cool hand against his neck.
A gentle, life-soothing aura quietly spread, attempting to calm the turbulent emotional storm raging within him.
Xu Si took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled.
Beneath the hood, the tear stains on his face were still wet, but his eyes had regained focus, only the crimson gleam was colder and sharper than ever before.
"Nirvana, monitor communications on this frequency band from now on and record all data," Xu Si said calmly.
Rebind the [Heart of the Ice Abyss] that you hold in your palm.
"Instructions recorded. Monitoring 144.000MHz band..." Nirvana's steady report rang out in the carriage.
Xu Si closed his eyes, and the chill of the [Heart of the Ice Abyss] seeped into his lungs, forcibly suppressing the surging heat.
He bent down and picked up the scattered, eerie pieces one by one, then put them away again.
The movements were slow, but very steady.
Even while driving, Xu Si seemed to have sensed that the atmosphere in the convoy was subtly changing.
He could imagine that others would react much the same way he did.
This is even more exciting news than encountering other racing teams.
Perhaps this frequency band will become a spiritual bulwark for everyone in the apocalypse, just like the name of the car team he came from—Light.
The announcements on the intercom system had stopped, but there was no sound coming from the walkie-talkie.
No one discussed it, no one expressed their opinions, and no one was happy or cursing.
Everyone is still processing this news.
Including Xu Si.
The convoy trudged on in silence.
"Brother Dao, Captain Fu wants us to switch back to the fixed frequency!" After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Luo's voice rang in Xu Si's mind again.
When the frequency band was switched back to the convoy's internal frequency, the hissing sound of the current seemed to carry a kind of suppressed excitement.
"Did you hear that?" Fu Xiaojian's voice rang out first, more composed than usual, as if he was deliberately suppressing it, but he couldn't suppress the slight tremor.
"I heard you," Shao Bing replied concisely, his voice rising at the end.
"The Bright Caravan... Apollo..." Wang Hu murmured repeatedly, as if trying to etch these two words into his mind.
"Damn it! Finally... finally it's not so frustrating anymore! Finally we're not the only ones yelling in this godforsaken place!" After a few seconds of silence on the walkie-talkie, Tashan's rough voice exploded.
"The 'convoy capable of creating wondrous items' they mentioned is both a signal and a screening tactic," Fu Xiaojian continued.
And we happen to have this capability.
"But even if we get in touch, what can we do?" Jiao Jiao asked doubtfully, breaking the lively discussion on the walkie-talkie.
Yeah? Even if we get in touch, what can we do?
"There's so much we can do. Many hands make light work. It's incredibly difficult for our small team to establish a safe zone. But what if we added other teams? Do you still think this is just wishful thinking?" Fu Xiaojian's voice was filled with excitement.
"Furthermore, we can exchange strange information, and even exchanging supplies is not impossible!"
"That's right! If... if..." Jiao Jiao murmured, but kept the words to herself.
Su Su looked at Jiao Jiao, who remained silent, and felt extremely sorry for her.
"Who cares? Anyway, this is definitely good news, as long as it's good news!" Tashan said nonchalantly.
"Yes, this is definitely good news."
This is a consensus among everyone.
"Although we don't know where this 'Bright Caravan' is, or what the so-called 'Apollo' artifact can actually do, at least... it shows that we're not the only ones working on it, and we're not the only 'spark'," Fu Xiaojian continued.
His voice carried a unique, unifying power that belonged to a team leader.
"From now on, 144.000 MHz will be designated as the team's fixed monitoring frequency, and will be monitored by one vehicle at regular intervals every day."
"clear."
This time, the response from the crowd was much more unified and forceful.
Ivan, who had just joined the team, replied awkwardly into the walkie-talkie.
The walkie-talkies fell silent again, but suppressed murmurs rippled through every carriage. Even Xiao Wu couldn't help but chat with Ivan about the inexplicable announcement that had just appeared.
The convoy was traveling through the desert, but something unseen had quietly changed.
Xu Si was no longer impatient, and his star-like eyes shone with an astonishing brightness.
Hope is like a luxury that is out of reach, or a spring that is hard to find in the desert.
Even just imagining plums to quench one's thirst is enough to sustain one through the next leg of the journey.
When hope is answered, everything regains its meaning.
At this moment, countless other teams must be experiencing the same shock and joy as them.
No matter where they are, there is always a spark that can start a prairie fire.
