Chapter 23: Collecting Gasoline
Qin Luo and Bai Shu each held up a piece of cloth with one hand to block the back row.
Xuanyunduo changed into his spare combat uniform behind the curtain that the two of them had pulled up. After he was ready, he picked up the wooden whistle hanging around his neck and blew it.
Qin Luo and Bai Shu just put away the curtains, and Qin Luo said, "Are you ready to change? Come here, I'll carry you over here. The back seat is damp, don't stay there."
As he spoke, he directly picked up Xuanyunduo. The middle row was very large, with two separate seats, more than enough for four people.
Xuanyunduo moved from the spacious seat in the back row to sitting side by side with Qin Luo.
Bai Shu didn't react much. He put away the curtain and started editing the video of the mutant snake man that Xuanyuduo had just sent him, preparing to post it on the forum.
The little zombie changed her clothes and looked much fresher, but her hair was still damp. Qin Luo couldn't bear it, so he took a clean towel to wipe her, rubbed her head with one hand, and stroked the tablet with the other.
"There's a service area 20 kilometers away. Let's go over there and take a look. We'll stop there for a while."
After saying this, Qin Luo threw the tablet into the storage space card and began to concentrate on rubbing the little zombie. He covered Xuanyunduo's head with his two hands on the towel and rubbed it. It looked rough, but his strength was well controlled.
Xuanyunduo felt sleepy after being rubbed so hard that her body swayed from side to side.
Qin Luo also told her not to move.
Wang Weihu and Chen Xiaofei agreed immediately after receiving the order. Their four-member team has always had a tacit understanding. Qin Luo must have his reasons for asking them to stop. His special ability is thunderstorm, so he is particularly sensitive to the weather.
Before we even reached the service area, hail started falling, crackling down. If this wasn't a modified off-road vehicle with explosion-proof glass, it probably wouldn't have been able to withstand the hailstones as big as basketballs!
Xuanyunduo's eyes were almost glued to the car window. The hailstones falling outside felt like they could really kill people, and they made a non-stop clanging sound.
The car was not easy to drive, and the body of the car shook slightly, but the four people in the car were all from the military, so this level of road difficulty was easy for them.
Wang Weihu even accelerated and rushed through the hail-covered road, crushing the broken ice under his wheels.
They happened to come across a few cars parked on the roadside, so they slowed down and checked from the car, honking the horn. When they got closer, they found that the cars were full of zombies. Chen Xiaofei threw a few small bombs and overturned the cars behind them, and they drove away directly.
After some bumps and bruises in the second half of the journey, we finally arrived at the service area smoothly.
There was no hail or rain at this point, but it was terribly dark. There were also zombies in the service area, and they came over when they heard the sound of the car.
Wang Weihu ran over a few more and drove straight to the gas station. "I'll go down and see if there's any gas left. Qin Luo, open the tank."
Qin Luo replied directly: "Okay." He leaned over to the driver's seat and operated it, and the fuel tank cap on the side opened. "Xunyunduo, you stay in the car, and press this switch after we finish refueling. Do you understand?"
Xuanyunduo nodded directly, picked up the wooden whistle and blew it. Qin Luo stroked her hair again, then turned around and got off the car.
The car door slammed shut and all four of them got out.
Chen Xiaofei followed Qin Luo to the main building of the service area to encircle and suppress the zombies. The two of them moved very quickly, and after a while, a gunshot rang out.
Wang Weihu and Bai Shu were refueling the car outside and checking how much oil was left at the gas station. Everyone has their own duties.
Xuanyunduo waited for Wang Weihu to make a gesture to her, then she closed the fuel tank cap, pushed open the middle door and jumped out of the car. Fortunately, she did not fall.
It gave them both a fright.
"Little squad leader, what are you doing here? Stay in the car. I'll let you get off when it's safe."
"It's not safe here. Be obedient and wait in the car. You are worth more than us now."
What a joke. A person with the ability to spread out a huge space is extremely valuable.
Even though they had seen Xuanyunduo kill a group of mutant monkeys with a chainsaw, the two of them still couldn't let anything get into trouble, so they wanted to coax her into the car.
As a result, many people didn't listen.
Bai Shu was worried that she didn't listen to them, and thought it would be better if Qin Luo was here.
Xuanyunduo didn't have time to pay attention to the two of them. When she saw Wang Weihu taking out the oil barrel from the gas station and filling it with oil, she reached out to him.
Bai Shu was furious, "Ancestor, you can't touch this hand directly!"
Xuanyunduo had already touched it and directly put the gasoline into the space. She just used her remaining hand to gesture to him.
He took a can out of the space, put it back, and pointed at the oil barrel.
Wang Weihu understood, "Little squad leader, are you collecting this gasoline directly?!"
Xuanyunduo nodded reservedly. With her expressionless face, she seemed cool and aloof, but in fact, she looked silly with her messy short hair. After she finished explaining, she concentrated on collecting gasoline.
Bai Shu exclaimed that it was awesome! "It's really nice to collect it directly. Then you should work hard, little squad leader! The two of us should be on guard!"
Xuanyunduo nodded like a chick pecking at rice and collected the gasoline seriously.
She just needed to lightly touch the gasoline with her fingertips, just like when she collected water in her own kitchen.
Because they were at a gas station and fire was not allowed nearby, when zombies came over, Wang Weihu and Bai Shu used force to deal with them, kicking one away with one kick.
Bai Shu later found some time to find a few more buckets to put the things in, so Xuanyunduo just had to go around and collect them, it was just a bit troublesome running around.
After collecting all the oil tanks at the bottom of the gas station, the two men and the zombie all showed satisfied smiles.
Xuanyunduo washed her hands obediently, while Bai Shu and Wang Weihu watched over her.
"Are you tired, little squad leader? There are still a lot of things in the supermarket inside the gas station. Let's buy them together?"
Xuanyunduo nodded almost immediately and walked over there by herself. She liked hoarding things more than anyone else! Stock up! Stock up! Collect everything you can!
She felt good thinking that there must be supplies in the service area.
Bai Shu and Wang Weihu also felt that it was great to have a super large mobile warehouse! The two of them started to cooperate with each other as soon as the zombies appeared. Wang Weihu swept all the things along the wall of the supermarket to the ground and put them in a pile, waiting for Xuanyiduo to collect them together.
Bai Shu stayed beside Xuanyunduo to protect her. Xuanyunduo put all the shelves that could be put away directly into the space. It took less than a minute to empty the small supermarket in the gas station. Most of the goods were bottled instant noodles and drinks.
The various flavors of instant noodles are so tempting! And some cookies and snacks.
Wang Weihu sighed: "It's hard to say whether instant noodles will be produced in the future. It's nice to stock up on them and eat them when you're hungry."
Bai Shu expressed his full agreement.
When they first joined the army, the most enjoyable thing was to have a big bucket of instant noodles after every training.
After collecting all these things, Xuanyunduo felt relieved when she saw that the multifaceted Rubik's Cube had filled up several small grids. Especially for important supplies like gasoline, which were very valuable in the early days of the apocalypse!
