Chapter 38 Meeting Wenwen

When Bai Chang and Bai Jiu came up from underwater, their faces were a little pale. Although they concealed it well, Bai Shuang could still tell that there was danger underwater.

Bai Chang: "Miss, let's go back. This oil can't be skimmed off."

Bai Jiu nodded. "There are snake nests underwater; we just encountered several."

Luckily, I was wearing a fully enclosed wetsuit; otherwise, I don't know what would have happened.

After hearing what they said, Bai Shuang realized that there were no small barrels of oil, so it couldn't be retrieved. Below, there were only giant underground oil tanks and a few oil tanker trucks.

She guessed that on the day of the natural disaster, the oil was delivered, but before it could be unloaded, the storm hit, so it stopped next to the gas station.

Since we've come all this way, it would be a shame to leave empty-handed. Let's see if we can retrieve the oil tanker from underwater.

If you want to do it, then do it. Let the two of them stay on the boat while Bai Shuang goes down to check on them, but the two of them are still worried.

Later, it was decided that Bai Jiu and Xue Bao would stay on the boat and pull the rope, while Bai Chang and Bai Shuang would go down.

This was Bai Shuang's first time trying to collect things in the water. She started by collecting the outermost vehicle, which was also the only one without water snakes.

Bai Chang dived down into the tanker truck, with Bai Shuang following closely behind.

Worried about any unexpected events, Bai Shuang had prepared a powerful sleeping potion. If there was any danger, she would immediately drug him and put him into her spatial storage.

Bai Changyan drove around the car, cleaning up the dirt around it, and checked the driver's cab. Finding nothing amiss, he gave Bai Shuang a hand signal.

Bai Shuang reached out and pulled the tanker truck away; it vanished instantly, leaving Bai Chang stunned.

It went smoothly until the water suddenly surged up from the side, pushing her towards the ground. Bai Chang quickly reached out and grabbed her.

At this moment, Bai Jiu noticed the unusual movement and quickly pulled the rope, and the two of them floated to the surface.

Next, the group discussed that since snakes like the smell of blood, they would try taking out fresh mutton from their spatial storage, adding some snake-attracting medicine, and throwing it to a slightly farther place.

Suddenly, the snow leopard became alert and barked in one direction. The group looked up and saw a boat approaching in the distance.

This is a large body of water, with nowhere to hide. The three people and one dog can only stay on the boat. However, encountering people is a common occurrence, and at worst, a fight will break out.

The boat was getting closer and closer, and we could see the people on board clearly. There were about three people, two men and one woman.

The other party was not armed, only carrying knives and clubs, which is normal in the apocalypse, and the group breathed a sigh of relief.

When the boat reached a short distance away, Bai Shuang and her two companions immediately raised their guns, and the other party became alert as well.

Seeing the guns around, they probably realized they were outmatched and decided to take a longer route.

"Bai Shuang, is that you?"

Why does that voice sound so familiar? Bai Shuang looked in the direction of the voice, but still couldn't recognize the person.

"Shuangshuang, it's me, Yu Wenwen."

Bai Shuang finally realized why the voice sounded so familiar. However, seeing her appearance, the difference between her former fair complexion and slightly plump figure was too great; she was almost skin and bones.

However, judging from his voice, he seems to be in good spirits.

Bai Shuang didn't see any malice on her face, but given the complexities of human nature in the apocalypse, she still dared not let her guard down.

Tell Bai Jiu to steer the boat closer while holding a gun.

"Shuangshuang, thank you for reminding me to stock up on food. Otherwise, I would have starved to death long ago."

Bai Shuang learned from Yu Wenwen that when the disaster struck, most of the teachers at the school had already gone home because it was night, with only a few remaining on duty.

Later, when the water rose, only the two floors of one building in the school were not flooded, and everyone was crammed inside.

Later, some starved to death, and some died in fights, but thanks to the teachers' efforts to maintain order and search for food, most people survived. Later, government ships arrived, and almost everyone went to the shelter.

Bai Shuang: "Where are you all going?"

"We're going to the small town ahead. We heard that some people there grow mushrooms, and we want to go and exchange some mushroom spawn."

As Wenwen spoke, she pointed to something in a bag on the boat. Through Wenwen's explanation, the two men were identified as her boyfriend's older brother and her boyfriend, both of whom were very thin.

As a classmate, Bai Shuang shouldn't pry into other people's private matters, but it seems like things are going quite well.

He pulled a large bag of compressed biscuits from his backpack and handed it to her, saying, "These are provisions for the journey."

"No need, Shuangshuang. What will you eat if I give it to you?"

Food is a lifesaver in the apocalypse, so she can't just ask her good friends for it.

Thankfully, Wenwen didn't become greedy, and Bai Shuang still gave her some, saying, "Don't worry, we still have food."

Looking at Bai Shuang's fair and rosy skin, bright eyes and white teeth, even more beautiful than before the disaster, and then thinking about herself who was about to turn into a withered branch, Wenwen nodded and took it, saying she would return it when she had the chance later.

After they left, Bai Shuang and her team continued collecting the oil tankers.

After the meat was thrown in, the group observed it with their diving goggles for a while. A few minutes later, snakes swam over. At first, there were only a few, but then more and more appeared. Bai Shuang threw down another piece of fresh meat.

Feeling that no more snakes were emerging from the parking area, Bai Jiu and Bai Chang went down together and quickly cleared each vehicle. Bai Shuang, just like before, collected the tanker trucks one by one, a total of 9 vehicles. According to the markings on the vehicles, 4 were diesel trucks and 5 were gasoline trucks.

After parking the car, the group quickly left the gas station, worried that the snakes would come looking for them. As for the underground oil tanks, the water was too deep to pump out the oil, so they decided to leave something for others to survive.

Retrieving items in the water was tiring. Bai Shuang rested with her eyes closed the whole way while the two of them took turns driving the boat and carrying guns and other weapons.

After walking about ten kilometers, Bai Shuang felt something was wrong, suddenly opened her eyes, and stood up.

Then the snow leopard barked warily, and as the boat passed by a building, a flowerpot suddenly fell and hit Bai Jiu right on the head.
