Chapter 256: Lost Transport
"There are still two large barrels of gasoline in the car. This is an extremely precious resource. How can it be gone like this? What are you still standing there for? Go out and find it quickly!"
Jiang Mi was extremely excited when he learned about this.
Two large barrels of gasoline were enough for them to transport the experimental equipment back to the base.
But if it is lost, there will be endless troubles.
Thinking of this, he suddenly turned around and looked at Zhong Li.
They were originally the ones keeping watch here, and since they occupied the high-level space, they could clearly see the situation below.
In this case, how could they not even notice the car was missing? Then what was Zhong Li doing just now?
Feeling that there was something wrong with Jiang Mi's eyes, Zhong Li began to explain.
"Just now, a few mutants came in from behind. I realized that something was wrong. In order to prevent them from rushing up and discovering where we are, I went down and destroyed them!"
"Perhaps it was during this gap that our car was taken away."
Zhong Li's explanation seemed somewhat weak.
However, looking at the deformed corpses downstairs, Jiang Mi didn't know how to blame.
"Now is not the time to discuss this."
Jiang Xun frowned slightly, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.
They were already trapped in this situation, surrounded by mutants.
Now we can only unite together to escape from this predicament.
If we start to doubt ourselves or even start internal strife at this time, the consequences will be disastrous.
"Sister, there is no need for us to hang ourselves on a tree."
"This is a town, not a wilderness. There must be other vehicles around. We can just find a vehicle that can transport the equipment. Isn't the purpose to move the experimental equipment back?"
"It doesn't matter whether the car is lost or not, what do you think?"
Jiang Xun spoke carefully, hoping to ease his sister's anxiety at the moment.
“This is a bit too risky.”
"We don't know the situation of the surrounding vehicles, and once we start the vehicle, it will definitely attract the attention of the mutants."
"If there is a problem with the car, it would be a loss. The people who get off would also be in danger. This is absolutely not allowed."
Jiang Mi was worried and naturally refused.
After hearing this, Miao Xi and Xing Shaoan disagreed.
"I don't think it's necessary."
"That's right. We don't have to worry so much. Right now all the mutants are tracking down the whereabouts of those bastards in other bases. They probably don't have time to worry about us."
"And we just need to explore the road in advance and check the condition of the car, and we can solve it."
Xing Shaoan whispered comfortingly, not overly worried.
Turning around and looking at Miao Xi beside him, he couldn't help but say, "Let's go together, so that we can take care of each other."
"Most importantly, the others need to stay here to avoid further problems."
Xing Shaoan looked at Jiang Mi intentionally or unintentionally.
Zhong Li said in a low voice: "I will follow him as well, just to make up for my mistake."
Just when everyone thought Jiang Mi would agree, they didn't expect Jiang Mi to directly refuse.
"Can't."
"You stay near the rooftop and check the surrounding situation. See if you can find the car. If you can, that would be great. If not, we can only wait for news from them."
It seems that Jiang Mi agreed to the two people's proposal.
Zhong Li was somewhat worried.
I always felt that Jiang Mi seemed to have other ideas, and when I went to the back door to stop the mutant from going upstairs just now, Jiang Xun was watching next to me.
Do you still have doubts about yourself?
Although he felt a little uncomfortable, Zhong Li didn't say much.
He just nodded in agreement and stayed quietly beside Jiang Mi.
Seeing this, Miao Xi and the other two walked out slowly.
"Be careful. Regardless of whether you can find a suitable vehicle or not, you must return within half an hour."
"And don't be too competitive. If you see people from other bases blocking the attack again, don't help."
"Saving your own lives is the most important thing."
After hearing Jiang Mi's words, the two nodded heavily.
at this time.
Zhao Xiao raised his head and looked at the two people quietly, recording their conversation and actions.
It seems like he wants to imitate it.
However, all this has not been discovered by others.
In a short while, Miao Xi and the other two were ready and quickly went downstairs.
At the second safety exit, there is currently no trace of any deformed person, and the second generation detector has already set out in advance, providing certain conveniences for the two people.
"Be careful."
Jiang Mi and others gave repeated instructions, and the two nodded and walked out through the emergency exit.
at this time.
Zhong Li still felt somewhat dissatisfied.
"Just now I was indeed trying to stop the mutants from going upstairs, and Jiang Xun was watching nearby. It was our fault that we didn't notice the vehicles downstairs, but the strange thing is that we didn't hear any noise at the time."
"Logically speaking, if someone really started a car in such an empty town, we should be able to hear the noise."
Zhong Li has always been brooding over this matter.
Seeing this, Jiang Mi just smiled and nodded, speaking indifferently.
"I was just a little too anxious and spoke a little harshly. Please don't blame me."
"Of course I believe in you."
Zhong Li knew that Jiang Mi was just trying to fool him, but at this moment, he didn't know how to prove himself.
Helpless, he shook his head and said no more.
"Sister, this guy was indeed engaged in a blocking battle just now. The two of us were fighting side by side and had some interactions with each other, so we didn't notice the situation downstairs."
Jiang Xun sighed. The reason why he didn't explain just now was because he felt that his sister seemed a little too harsh on Zhong Li.
The problem in between seems out of reach.
That's why I want to find out what kind of misunderstanding there is between the two.
Now seeing his sister so serious, he felt helpless for a moment.
"It's really okay."
Jiang Mi shrugged and said nothing more.
Instead, he turned around and looked at Zhao Xiao behind him.
"How long will it take to disassemble and transport the experimental equipment? Will we have enough time to successfully transport it to the vehicle?"
Now that the large transport vehicles have been lost, we have to think of these small vehicles.
Even if there are no suitable vehicles to transport them, they must transport these precision instruments back.
How to transport it is the key.
"It should take about 4 hours."
"Why does it take so long?" Jiang Mi was a little surprised. How could they hold on for 4 hours?
Besides, the laboratory is in the middle of the city, with downtown areas on both sides. How could they not know what this means?
"There's no other way. Those are precision instruments. We have to be careful when dismantling them."
