Chapter 22 Gas Station
Seeing Rong Xianxian's calm and comfortable look, Wang Qirui asked curiously, "Sister Rong, aren't you angry at all?"
Rong Xianxian said with a smile, "Is it useful to be angry? If you have that time, you might as well think of a way to solve the problem." If this kind of thing is worth getting angry about, then everyone would be angry to death in the future.
"How to solve it? Have you thought of a solution?" Wang Qirui pricked up his ears instantly.
"No matter how we solve it, we have to solve the problem of food first. Since half of our people are missing today, why don't we be extravagant?" Rong Xianxian took out a small bag of salt from the big bag she brought up and threw it up excitedly. "Finally we have salt. Let's make barbecue today. Each of us will have a little sparrow. Wang Lin will light the charcoal, and Jiang Jie will take care of the little sparrows."
Because of the shortage of salt, everyone has been eating pickled meat and cured meat for a week, and now they can finally eat something fresh.
The small bird monster similar to a sparrow that we had caught before was plucked, skinned and washed. The meat looked firm, smooth, tender and delicious.
Sprinkle a layer of fine salt, apply a layer of chili sauce, cover with a layer of cumin powder, wrap it in tin foil, and put it into the red-hot charcoal oven.
While waiting for the barbecue, everyone gathered in the living room for a meeting, even Xiao Luo Xuanxuan was no exception.
"What do you all think about this trip?" Rong Xianxian sat on the main seat on the sofa in the living room, looking at everyone present.
It seems that he is not quite used to this formal atmosphere.
Wang Qirui raised his hand as if he was reporting something, stood up and said, "Sister Rong, I think the monsters outside are not as easy to fight as the monsters on the roof."
Jiang Jie nodded and responded, "Yeah, I think so too."
"We have been killing monsters everywhere recently, but this time we were actually chased by monsters." Wang Lin added.
"We fought monsters on the rooftop. Not only were we familiar with the terrain, but we also set traps. This is all thanks to Jiang Jie. The traps he set played a big role. The monsters were in the light, and we were in the dark."
"Outside, we are in the light and the monsters are in the dark. Our instinct for danger and the mobilization of combat status still have problems, so starting tomorrow, we will no longer use traps in the morning. We will fight two battles a day, doing actual combat training in the morning and hunting monsters and collecting treasures in the afternoon. What do you think?" Rong Xianxian asked.
Wang Lin and Jiang Jie had no objection.
Cui Lie gestured his approval.
"I agree!" Wang Qirui said supportively.
"Xia Kai, practice Qinggong for a few days before joining the morning class." Rong Xianxian patted Xia Kai, who was looking conflicted.
Xia Kai had previously focused on practicing the Soul Induction Technique, so he spent less time on the Light Body Technique. Hearing Rong Xianxian say this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief! Among the people sitting there, in terms of combat power, he could only beat Xuanxuan and Xiaoluo. He was not even as fast as Xiaoluo. Fighting monsters together, he felt like he was just trying to get credit. If he played in the morning, he might even hold them back.
"Okay, now that we have summarized our feelings about this outing, it's time for us to discuss the threats from our neighbors." Rong Xianxian turned her gaze to Wang Qirui.
"Don't look at me, Sister Rong, I don't know what to do?" Wang Qirui thought Rong Xianxian wanted him to express his opinion.
"Maybe they are just talking tough but may not necessarily do anything." Wang Qirui spoke actively.
"It's best not to take chances." Xia Kai frowned.
“That’s right. Don’t underestimate the malice in their hearts. If they block us outside and kill us by monsters, they can get our weapons.” Wang Lin also spoke.
"The best way is to sneak out before they unite and collect the supplies. When the army comes here to rescue, their lives will be protected. They won't dare to do anything in front of the army," said Rong Xianxian.
"It just so happens that the army is taking action today, and most of the monsters have been lured there. Let's take action in the afternoon after dinner." Wang Lin absolutely supported the action planned by Rong Xianxian.
Others also agreed to the proposal.
"Come, everyone, come and see." Rong Xianxian took a map from the bookshelf in the living room. It was a hand-drawn map of the surrounding area.
"This is the location of the community. The red dot is our building, and the green dotted line is the route map of the underground parking lot. If we want to avoid the prying eyes of the tenth floor, we can only go underground. There is no electricity now, and there is light only near the exit and entrance of the underground parking lot. The rest of the place is pitch black. We try to walk along the light. Our target this time is the gas station." Rong Xianxian pointed to the three big bright red words on the map.
"We can't hide here forever. After all, everyone must have someone they miss. When we have the strength to look for them, we need a car. And gasoline must be stored." In her previous life, Rong Xianxian only wanted to wait for Ning Qingyun to protect them. In this life, she wants to go back to her home, find her parents, and see if they are safe.
"Well, if you come out from this exit, there is only a wall away from the gas station, it's very close!" Xia Kai said, pointing to an exit sign on the map.
"This exit is a reserved ventilation hole. People usually use it occasionally. The steps are almost vertical, and cars can't go up." Rong Xianxian looked at the exit. She used to walk underground when it rained, so she was quite familiar with this exit.
"Then let's park the car here and move the things in little by little." Wang Lin said after comparing the distance between this exit and other exits.
Rong Xianxian also prefers this plan. She has a sachet in her hand and can secretly store more gasoline.
We discussed it and had lunch.
Bring your weapons, take good protection, and get ready to go.
In order to increase the safety factor of the operation, Rong Xianxian decided to mobilize everyone.
She prepared three days of food and water for Xiao Luo and Xuan Xuan, assigned them homework, told them to study hard, and not to make a sound no matter what they heard, and then locked them in the safe room in the master bedroom.
The six people tiptoed downstairs to the underground garage. Rong Xianxian opened the door and saw the cool and domineering off-road vehicle in front of him. Wang Qirui opened his mouth exaggeratedly.
"Oh my god, this car is so expensive. Sister Rong, let me drive. I have a driver's license." Wang Qirui quickly rushed to the driver's seat.
Wang Lin glared at him speechlessly, as if he was someone who didn't have a driver's license.
The journey was smooth, and although a few monsters occasionally ran by, none of them came to provoke them. After parking the car at the selected exit, the six people walked onto the ground cautiously.
There are lush flowers and trees, and this place is only separated from the gas station by a wall.
Cui Lie tried to throw a stone outside the wall, but there was no movement. He climbed over the wall and gestured to follow.
In just over half a month, the gas station, which had been unattended, looked somewhat desolate and dilapidated. Several broken cars were twisted and deformed, and it was obvious that they had been attacked by monsters.
There were some dried bloodstains near the car. The bloodstains extended all the way to the gas station, where there was a small supermarket. The supermarket was mostly filled with rice, flour, grain, oil, some snacks, condiments, gift boxes, mineral water and beverages, etc. It was opened to attract customers to top up their accounts.
When everyone walked into the supermarket, they saw large patches of dried blood, scattered bones, and broken clothes everywhere, all of which showed that a bloody battle had taken place here, and no one knew what monster had attacked them.
Rong Xianxian sighed secretly. She had seen more tragic scenes in her previous life. She had lived a peaceful and comfortable life since her rebirth. Seeing such a scene again seemed like a lifetime ago. Haha, the world is still the same world. It will not change just because you hide.
The main purpose of coming here is to find gasoline, and several people look around to see if there are any oil barrels.
While searching around, Rong Xianxian sneaked something into the sachet when no one else was paying attention.
Suddenly, a low sobbing sound was heard from the staff lounge at the corner.
