Cave Refuge-Chapter 172 - 171: Your Uncle is Still Young_1

It is to say, Dong Tianyu is currently the only one in Pengcheng who can use magic artifacts, which also prevents theft from others.

Taking advantage of his parents’ absence, Dong Tiany started planning the transport vehicle.

This time, Dong Tianyu didn’t want to make it simple. After all, he had been riding a bicycle all the time. When the weather was too hot, it was not suitable. He needed a decent vehicle.

Dong Tianyu’s plan was to use a truck as the base, then connect the cab and the container to form a whole, and then carve the four formations of constant temperature, solid build, light body, and attack on the truck body.

As for the power of the vehicle, it should be powered by spiritual stones, but now Dong Tianyu’s source of acquiring spiritual stones is very single, only produced in the earth vein of the cave mansion.

So it must be added with spirit power charging to reduce the consumption of spiritual stone.

As for fuel power, it should be known that it is incompatible with magic artifacts and technological items.

Perhaps someone would suggest adding a charging formation to the vehicle, but considering the thin spirit energy in the surrounding air, even though the vehicle body is quite large, the area required to engrave the formation is also not small, so it can only give up this practical but dispensable formation.

After confirming his thoughts, he found a 7.6 meters long truck cargo from the Shadow Space, prepared it first, and then directly transformed it with survival points when he returned.

One could say that although survival points are hard to accumulate, they are very convenient when used.

After Dong Tianyu took note of his transformation plan, his parents returned to the tent at this time.

Seeing that it was getting late, Dong Tianyu got up and took out the takeout he ordered from the restaurant before the disaster from his backpack (from the Shadow Space).

Egg tofu, braised quail eggs with pork, stir-fried fish with garlic, and a lettuce with oyster sauce to relieve greasiness.

These four dishes before the disaster were considered as home-cooked dishes, but now, they are absolutely luxurious.

Vegetables and meats are not absent in the underground refuge. The recently available vegetables for all survivors are cabbage and mushroom. The meat is various freshwater fish caught from Dragon Lake.

In fact, the original price of freshwater fish was not low, but now, due to the need for saltpeter supplies, the refuges in West City District are short of ice, so the inability to preserve food for a long time makes the prices more affordable.

In addition to various freshwater fishes, some meats from the farm, also started to flow into the market due to their inability to be preserved.

In a short period of time, survivors can also have a variety of dishes on their table as long as they are willing to spend their points.

As Dong Tianyu opened each lunch box one by one, Mrs. Thompson, upon seeing the dishes Dong brought back, even though she complained verbally of Dong Tianyu being too extravagant and wasteful, she was delighted. After all, it showed his filial piety.

The Thompsons enjoy their meal and instead of the old saying "Don’t talk while eating or sleeping" they chat about home affairs during meals.

Mrs. Thompson looked at Dong Tianyu and asked with some concern: "Son, how have you been recently?"

In response to his mother’s concern, Dong Tianyu did not simply respond that he was fine, but detailed the recent life situation, although most of it was made up.

Dong Tianyu’s storytelling satisfied his parents’ imagination of their son being alone outside. Although the actual situation is very different from what Dong Tianyu described, what about it? Telling the truth, except for making parents worry about him when they are at home, it will not help him in any way.

This might be the mentality of many who wander outside and call home, only reporting the good and not the bad.

In fact, his parents knew why Dong Tianyu would do this, but fortunately, Dong Tianyu’s visits are quite frequent, so they are very relieved about Dong Tianyu being alone outside.

"Tianyu, the temperature outside is getting higher and higher. If it’s a hassle to come over, don’t come to see me and your mom recently, wait until the temperature returns to normal."

Upon hearing Mr. Thompson’s words, Mrs. Thompson quickly nodded and said: "Yes, I haven’t been out, but I heard from others that the outside temperature seems to have exceeded fifty degrees. If it’s too hot, don’t come to see us."

Dong Tianyu knew that his parents said this for his good, but he thought of his going back to create a vehicle that can travel outside, so he decided to tell his parents in advance to prevent them from worrying.

"Dad, Mom, our refuge is currently remodeling motorhomes. I can apply to use them in the future when I come, but there are a lot of people in the refuge, so I may not be able to visit you once every half a month."

Hearing what Dong Tianyu said, Mr. Thompson had a guess about the refuge Dong Tianyu mentioned in his mouth but didn’t say it out loud. After all, as the old saying goes, no deafness, no blindness, no hands-on household, it’s blurrier for some things, no need to get to the bottom.

However, after hearing that the vehicle could be borrowed from Dong Tianyu, Mrs. Thompson hesitated for a moment, then said to Dong Tianyu: "If you have time, help me go to your grandfather’s place and take a look." 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Hearing his mother say this, Dong Tianyu was puzzled.

Despite the high ground temperature, the underground refuge where Grandfather lives is connected by the subway network, so he doesn’t need to walk on the ground to visit.

To travel through the underground network, although the procedures are somewhat cumbersome, as long as the reasons are legitimate, it is basically not rejected.

So if Mrs. Thompson is worried about the situation at grandfather’s place, she can go and check it out herself and doesn’t need Dong Tianyu to make a special trip.

Of course, Dong Tianyu is not saying that he is unwilling to go because it is troublesome, but seeing Mrs. Thompson saying these words in a circumspect manner, Dong Tianyu guesses that there should be something he doesn’t know about.

Mr. Thompson looked at Dong Tianyu’s puzzled expression, hesitated for a long time, but thought that his child was already so big, there is no need to hide some things from him.

"We have visited your grandfather. Now your Aunt Grace and her husband live together. Your Aunt Grace takes care of your grandfather, and your uncle..."

When Dong Tianyu’s uncle was mentioned, Mr. Thompson hesitated for a long time without opening his mouth.

Seeing this, Mrs. Thompson also sighed somewhat helplessly: "Your uncle is still young...."

Before Mrs. Thompson could finish, Dong Tianyu immediately said: "Mom, my uncle is still young? By his age before the disaster, he would have been old enough to apply for retirement, and he’s still young."

In response to Dong Tianyu’s rebuttal, Mrs. Thompson was somewhat helpless too. She never imagined that in the blink of an eye, her younger brother had reached the age of retirement. However, in her eyes, her little brother was still the child who couldn’t do anything.

"Your uncle, Your uncle..."

Mrs. Thompson started to speak but was unable to continue.
