Chapter 38 Whose Gun is Faster
"Leng Yi and I have discussed this and we want to go outside together to see if there is any gas. We each have only one tank of gas, and it will be gone once it is used up. It will be very troublesome to cook in the future." Yang Qing said.
Li Shengnan nodded. "I've thought about this too. There are four of us in Room 802, and the gas runs out quickly. It won't last long. I support going out to find gas!"
"But many gas stations are flooded, so we have to dive down to find them. Not only do we have to be able to swim, but we also have to be able to dive. Does anyone among you know how to dive?" Leng Yi asked.
"I can!" Li Shengnan replied.
"I can do it too!" Gao Yang replied.
"I can swim, but I've never dived. Even if I could, I'd still need diving equipment. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to stay underwater for more than a few minutes. I also have to retrieve the gas tank, which takes more than a few minutes." Jiang Hao said.
Leng Yi looked at Yang Qing. She had diving equipment, but he couldn't make the decision for her.
Yang Qing nodded. "Don't worry, I have diving equipment and a few small oxygen tanks. I should be able to hold on for a while."
Everyone was shocked to find out that she had stockpiled a lot of things, even diving equipment. It was really unexpected. I really don’t know how to describe her.
I used to just say she was stupid, but now I can only say she’s awesome.
"I don't know how to dive, so I'd better stay." Wang Min raised his hand.
"I'll stay too and won't cause you any trouble." Lu Lin also said.
"Okay, then everyone else get ready, we'll set off right away!" Yang Qing stood up and went to the room to get his diving suit, and everyone went back to make preparations.
The men went up to drag the assault boat. Yang Qing put on the diving equipment and told Lu Lin and Wang Min to lock the door.
As the assault boat drove out, Jiang Hao said, "I remember there's a gas station two streets ahead. Let's go see if there's any gas."
Everyone agreed and drove the assault boat over.
The water level has now risen by more than ten meters, reaching the height of the fourth floor, so the gas station has been flooded long ago.
Leng Yi put on his diving suit and carried his oxygen tank. "I'll go down and take a look first. If there's nothing, you don't have to go down."
Because there were all kinds of garbage and corpses on the streets, the water was very turbid. Leng Yi dived down, but couldn't see clearly at all, so he could only go into the store first.
When I got to the door, I found that the door had been opened half a person's height. The gas inside must have been taken away long ago.
But since I was already there, I decided to go in and take a look. Once inside, it was empty, with only a few empty bottles floating on the water.
Leng Yi swam up quickly.
"How is it?" Gao Yang asked.
"No, it has been emptied out a long time ago." Leng Yi said as he took off his oxygen mask.
"I'm afraid there are no more gas stations around here." Gao Yang said, "Is there any gas station farther away?"
"I know one," Jiang Hao said. "I used to work as a security guard there. There are a lot of old residential areas in that area. They don't have gas pipelines, so they all use gas cylinders. So there are a lot of gas stations. Maybe there are still some."
"Then let's go and take a look." Yang Qing said.
Following Jiang Hao's navigation, it took us more than half an hour to reach an old town area. We looked at two stations but there were none, so we found the farthest one.
"I'll go down with you this time." Yang Qing said. It was too hard for Leng Yi to go alone every time.
Yang Qing put on his diving suit and oxygen mask, picked up a crowbar, and the two jumped into the water together.
This side is close to the suburbs, and the water is relatively clear.
When diving to the bottom of the water, you can see that the store door is intact and it should not have been opened. It seems there is hope.
Yang Qing and Leng Yi looked at each other, Leng Yi made a hooking gesture with his palm, and Yang Qing handed over the crowbar.
I put the crowbar under the rolling door and tried to pry it up, but the pressure was too great and it was difficult to pry it up.
Yang Qing swam over and they both pushed hard together.
Finally, the lock broke and he pulled the shutter door upwards. Suddenly, a dark shadow jumped out, startling Yang Qing.
I thought it was another body or something, but when I looked I realized it was a gas bottle, which must have been empty, so it floated out as soon as the door opened.
The two continued to dive into the store and saw more than a dozen gas cylinders neatly placed on a shelf. They should be filled with gas, as there was no obvious sign of floating.
Yang Qing was overjoyed. She made an upward gesture to Leng Yi and went up to call for help.
Leng Yi nodded and moved the gas cylinder out so that it would be easier for them to carry it up when they came down.
Yang Qing emerged from the water, and Gao Yang quickly asked, "How is it?"
"Yes, there are more than a dozen." Yang Qing said with a smile.
Everyone was overjoyed. Gao Yang and Li Shengnan said in unison, "We'll go down right away."
"Wait!" Yang Qing climbed onto the assault boat. She only had two diving suits, which she and Leng Yi wore while Gao Yang and Li Shengnan didn't have, but she still had simple oxygen masks.
Add a portable scuba tank that can last for at least twenty minutes.
Yang Qing gave the oxygen masks and oxygen cylinders to Gao Yang and Li Shengnan and helped them connect them.
He said to Jiang Hao, "You don't have to go down. Just wait up there and help move the gas tank onto the assault boat. Be careful up there by yourself!"
"I understand!" Jiang Hao nodded.
When the three of them dived down together, Leng Yi had already come up with a gas tank.
Jiang Hao quickly took it and carefully placed it on the assault boat.
Leng Yi dived again.
The four men carried the gas tanks up one after another, and brought up all fifteen tanks of gas.
When the last bottle of gas came up, Gao Yang was so tired that he almost collapsed.
But his face showed uncontrollable joy, "Now it can be used for several months."
"Yes!" Everyone sat on the speedboat and gasped for breath, feeling that the trip was not in vain.
"Let's go back?" Yang Qing said. There were so many things on the assault boat that it was impossible to load anything else.
"Go back!" Everyone nodded.
After driving for more than ten minutes and about to enter the city, some people suddenly surrounded them and their eyes lit up when they saw the gas tanks on their speedboat.
"Brother, where did the gas tank come from?" The leader looked at Leng Yi, who looked like the leader of this group.
"It's in the old town in front. There are many gas stations there. We only opened one, so there should be more. It's still time for you to go now." Leng Yi said calmly.
"Really?" The other leader smiled. "But I think the ones who can rob your ship will come faster!"
Yang Qing narrowed his eyes. This guy was really arrogant. He didn't even try to hide it and just said he was robbing?
"Oh, then you try it?" Leng Yi took out a long knife.
The other party sneered when he saw Leng Yi's knife, and took out a pistol to play with it in his hand, "I advise you to hand over the things obediently, otherwise I will shoot and you will all die."
"When the time comes, 'boom', everything will be gone." The other person gestured and laughed, showing no concern for other people's lives.
Leng Yi and Yang Qing looked at each other. After several trips together, they had already developed a tacit understanding.
Leng Yi suddenly picked up a bottle and threw it over, and the bottle fell in front of the opponent's assault boat.
At the same time, Yang Qing quickly took out a long gun and pointed it at the gas tank opposite. "Really? Now let's see whose gun is faster!"
Leng Yi also quickly took out his pistol and pointed it at the other party's leader.
