Chapter 102 Showing weakness is also a form of self-protection

Han Ying and Lu Yuan were both wearing headlamps, but Lei Minghu and Wu Tingfang were not wearing headlamps, they were holding flashlights instead.

The entire building was silent. The four people and the dog controlled the sound of their footsteps and headed straight for the parking garage.

The stairwell was full of accumulated mud and various garbage, and even with a mask on, the smell was not very good.

Fortunately, Han Ying had already thought of this, and she pressed two mint-flavored refreshing beads inside the mask.

Originally, Han Ying didn't know why Lei Minghu asked them to bring an extra pair of shoes.

But when she saw the mud and sand on the stairs, she understood.

It is impossible for them to carry all the gasoline up in one trip, and there will definitely be more mud and sand as they go down.

Some of the mud and sand is still semi-dry, and some of it will get on your feet.

By then, the mud and sand on their shoes will leave traces on the stairwell.

Bring an extra pair of shoes with you and change into them when you get to a place without mud and sand when carrying gasoline upstairs. This will help cover up some traces of them going down to the garage.

In addition to mud and sand, there is a lot of garbage in the stairwell.

Some of these were washed in by the sea, and some were washed out from other people's homes.

Some things can still be used after being picked up, but judging by the messy appearance, a lot of them must have been picked up by other people.

But some were not picked up.

But now everyone has more important things to do and can’t take care of these things.

There were quite a few messy footprints in the mud and sand on the stairs, and it seemed that quite a few people had returned to the floors below.

Originally, everyone was worried that they would see the skeleton that had been eaten clean by piranhas and sharks in the stairwell.

However, although there was a lot of garbage along the way, I didn't see any skeletons.

I think after the water receded, Wang Liren's wife asked official personnel to take it away.

When they were about to reach the garage, everyone tacitly turned off all the lights and stood there, listening quietly to the movements inside.

The entire garage was pitch black, and there was no sound from inside.

About two minutes later, Lei Minghu turned on the flashlight first and said, "No one's here. Let's go in."

Han Ying patted Tangyuan's dog head and told it to be careful when walking around in the garage.

Try not to make too much noise, and if you see anyone else around, come and tell her.

After all, after the tsunami, there was a lot of garbage in the entire underground parking garage besides cars.

If you are not careful, it is easy to make noise and be heard by someone with ulterior motives.

Almost all the cars of everyone in the community are parked here. There are 13 buildings and nearly a thousand households. How many cars are there?

Lei Minghu took out two crowbars.

No one asked where he got the crowbar.

This guy can repair electrical appliances and is also a fitness trainer, so it doesn't seem surprising that he has a crowbar at home.

Lei Minghu handed Lu Yuan a crowbar without asking him if he knew how to use it.

He started with the nearest few cars and pried up the fuel tank caps one by one.

Han Ying discovered that Lei Minghu's crowbar was wrapped with a thin layer of wet towel to prevent sparks.

Quite cautious.

Lu Yuan looked at the crowbar in his hand and directly handed the two oil-extracting tools he brought to Han Ying.

Wu Tingfang also brought a similar oil extraction tool, but hers was smaller, the kind used on a tea tray, and it was slower to extract.

So Han Ying handed her the one that Lu Yuan brought over.

In fact, Han Ying also wanted to join the ranks of prying open the fuel tank cap, but someone had to come and pump the oil.

Wu Tingfang definitely couldn't pump all the oil by herself, so she could only start pumping oil from each car one by one.

Regardless of good or bad, or gasoline model, all are put together.

The gasoline in the fuel tank and the water that seeped in were pumped out.

When Han Ying had filled five 20L water bags and was about to empty the sixth bag, she saw Lu Yuan coming back from the front.

"I'll take these up first. Lend me your backpack. I have a lot of smaller mineral water bottles at home that I'll bring down with me later."

As Lu Yuan spoke, he put a water bag filled with gasoline into his own big backpack.

He took another bag and put it into Han Ying's backpack and carried it in front.

Then he carried one bag in one hand and two bags in the other hand, and judging from his walking pace, he seemed to be very relaxed.

It's quite a bit of strength.

After Lu Yuan left, Han Ying continued to pump oil from each car.

There is a lot of oil in the fuel tanks of these cars. Of course, it is not all oil, there should be a lot of water in it.

Han Ying and Wu Tingfang were responsible for pumping oil, while Lei Minghu and Lu Yuan were responsible for prying open the fuel tank and taking turns to bring up the filled gasoline.

Han Ying discovered that every time Lu Yuan and Lei Minghu delivered gasoline upstairs, they would wait for the other person to come down before going upstairs.

This ensures that one of them stays down there.

Although she didn't want to admit it, she and Wu Tingfang were both protected persons at this moment.

Han Ying didn't care about these things, nor did she prove to others that her physique and fighting ability were no worse than theirs.

Sometimes showing weakness is also a form of self-protection.

Although she showed weakness, Han Ying must not forget to be on guard.

In her previous life, she died due to the conspiracy of her relatives and friends.

If she had the chance to do it all over again, although Han Ying chose to live next to them, she was always on guard against them.

They lived on the 27th floor and there was no elevator, so they climbed up on foot, carrying more than 100 kilograms of gasoline.

No matter how healthy your physique is, your legs will become weak after a few trips.

After the large-capacity containers were filled, they were moved up by Lei Minghu and Lu Yuan.

The two largest enzyme barrels were carried up by Lei Minghu himself in two trips.

It was obvious that he acknowledged that he had more strength in his hands than Lu Yuan.

But according to Han Ying's observation, this is obviously not the case.

However, Lu Yuan did not argue with him. After all, it didn't matter who brought it up. There was no need to prove anything by doing this kind of thing.

Lei Minghu is a fitness coach. He lifts weights in the gym every day, so it is normal for him to have strength in his hands.

What's more, everyone's physical condition is better after the poisonous fog.

After the two men had carried all the large containers up, what was left were large and small mineral water bottles, oil drums, and other bottles and jars.

There were also quite a few mineral water bottles. The ones Lu Yuan brought over were all 5-liter and 10-liter bottles, a total of more than a dozen.

The mineral water bottles and beverage bottles that Han Ying brought were all between 1.5 liters and 2 liters.

After filling up some more mineral water bottles, Lu Yuan just came down.

Lei Minghu was about to go up with gasoline when he was stopped by Han Ying.

The two of them have climbed several times in a row, and their legs must be weak.

She asked the two of them to stay and pump oil, while she and Wu Tingfang brought gasoline upstairs.

Han Ying and Wu Tingfang each carried a backpack filled with small bottles of gasoline.

Wu Tingfang was holding a 5-liter bucket in each hand.

Han Ying directly picked up a 10-liter bucket in one hand.

A 5-liter barrel of gasoline weighs about 8 kilograms, and a 10-liter barrel weighs 16 kilograms.
