Do you have gasoline?
Qin Su was surprised. In the cities she visited after the apocalypse, gas stations were either destroyed or had run out of gasoline, making gasoline very difficult to obtain.
"Yes, but I can't give it away for free. You have to exchange it for grain. I can return everything to you except what I use myself."
The shop owner is a shrewd person; he could tell from Qin Su's expression that she would make the purchase.
"Can!"
The car will definitely need to refuel along the way, as the gasoline in their car is not enough to support them for that long distance.
Although she had a lot of gasoline in her storage space, there were so many survivors with her, and taking gasoline out would definitely arouse suspicion.
The boss led her into a small alley, and after wandering around for a while, they found a basement.
There were over a hundred barrels of gasoline hidden in the basement.
"Hehe, to be honest, I used to sell gasoline. After the apocalypse, nobody uses cars anymore, so I couldn't sell gasoline."
Qin Su understood that the roads on the Xijiang side were difficult to travel, and ordinary cars simply couldn't drive on them.
Besides, if people can't even get enough to eat, who would trade grain for gasoline?
"Your car can probably only hold one can of gasoline, right?"
The boss nodded: "A whole bucket is too much. Actually, I plan to keep half a bucket for myself and exchange the rest for supplies."
"That works too. How much grain are you planning to exchange?"
Before the apocalypse, this much gasoline would have cost hundreds of thousands, or several tons of grain. But in the apocalypse, grain is ridiculously expensive, while gasoline is worthless.
"Could I exchange it for a thousand catties of grain?"
The boss looked at Qin Su cautiously, afraid that she would be frightened by his outrageous demands.
"Can."
"However, I didn't bring that much grain. I can give you fifty catties first, and the rest will be given to you when we get to Wancheng."
My second uncle has already said that Qin Su is the city lord of Wancheng, and Qin Su signed the contract readily, so the boss still trusts her.
"Okay, okay, thank you, thank you..."
He was also worried that it wouldn't be safe for him to carry so much food on the road.
"Once we get to Wancheng, I'll have someone deliver the grain to you directly, and no one will find out."
In the end times, food is the most important thing that should not be leaked.
"Thank you, you've really thought of everything. I'm very grateful, especially grateful to you. When I get to Wancheng, I will definitely listen to instructions and do my job well."
Looking at her elderly boss, who was still crying his eyes out, Qin Su felt somewhat helpless.
"Alright, fill up your half-can of gasoline, and leave the rest there. I'll have someone come and get it."
After saying that, she took fifty kilograms of grain from her car and gave some daily necessities to the boss. Before the boss could continue wiping away his tears, she left.
"What a kind person! I'm sure I'll live a happy life in Wancheng, and maybe I can even get married."
As the boss spoke, he hurriedly hid his grain.
Qin Su returned to the basement where the gasoline was stored, manipulated her mind to store most of the gasoline into her space, and then put the remaining five barrels of gasoline into the car and loaded them back into her third uncle's residence.
"Susu, how do you have so much gasoline?"
My second uncle came back from outside and was surprised to see the gasoline in the car.
He was thinking about how the vehicles would get there during the relocation.
"I switched with the previous hotel owner."
"Second Uncle, you can decide what to do with this gasoline. The journey back to Wancheng is long, and I hope this gasoline can help."
"That's enough, that's enough. We don't have many cars, this amount of gasoline is sufficient."
The second uncle immediately arranged for people to carry the gasoline downstairs, and then said to Qin Su.
"Susu, your second uncle is very grateful. I won't say anything more. Anyway, your second uncle will definitely repay you in the future."
Qin Su waved her hand: "Second Uncle, we are family, it is only right that we help each other."
"You're talking to me about repaying kindness? You're just confusing me."
Hahaha……
The second uncle laughed heartily, his gaze towards his niece growing increasingly satisfied.
"Alright, we're family, no need for formalities. Anyway, from now on, your second uncle will definitely cherish you like the apple of his eye."
Qin Su didn't stand on ceremony: "That's great."
Hahaha……
The third and fifth uncles inside the house heard the conversation outside and laughed along.
Huo Sijin returned in the middle of the night, his body reeking of blood, and his clothes were stained red in large patches.
"Are you injured?"
Qin Su, who had been waiting, immediately rushed over to check and was grabbed by Huo Sijin.
"I'm fine, don't worry."
He looked at his second uncle: "Those traitors are colluding with outsiders. Your superpowers must have been discovered."
"Moreover, the other party is also a superhuman. They bribed traitors in order to seize Dongjiang and Xijiang."
Second Uncle's expression changed drastically: "How could this be?"
"We've been very careful, how did they find out?"
"The opponent's strength surpasses yours, so he can detect your abilities, but you cannot detect his."
In other words, even if they meet, they won't know that the other has superpowers.
My second uncle's face turned even paler.
“If you hadn’t come this time, my third brother and I would probably have been killed by those people.”
Then he looked at Huo Sijin and asked, "How are those people doing now?"
If those people came after him, he would immediately organize his men to fight back.
"Dead."
Huo Sijin gave two words.
Second Uncle: ...
"Is it... really that amazing?"
He thought that Huo Sijin had failed to defeat those people and had escaped back.
"However, I heard some news that more and more people with superpowers are appearing outside, so the road ahead may be very difficult."
Second Uncle frowned: "We need to set off as soon as possible. The longer we delay, the better we can get out of here before those superhumans find us."
Then, he hurried out and informed everyone that the relocation time was brought forward.
Back in her room, Huo Sijin plopped down on the bed.
Qin Su immediately stepped forward and pulled open his clothes.
A gaping wound, piercing through the chest and revealing raw flesh, came into view.
"How could he be so badly injured?"
He was an interstellar being, possessing skills and physical abilities far beyond the reach of ordinary people. He had never suffered such severe injuries before.
Suddenly, my eyes filled with mist, and the moisture gathered into tears, which fell one by one.
She hurriedly took out the first-aid kit to treat his wounds, feeling extremely distressed.
"Don't cry, it doesn't hurt."
Huo Sijin wiped away her tears and gently comforted her.
"How could such a serious injury not hurt? I'm a doctor, I know very well whether it hurts or not!"
She sniffed, tears streaming down her face, as she disinfected and bandaged the wound.
Huo Sijin looked at her unstoppable tears and sighed softly.
“It hurts me more when you cry than when I have this wound.”
Qin Su was regretting not following them; if he had, he might not have suffered such severe injuries. Hearing Huo Sijin's words, he looked over in bewilderment.
"Susu, it breaks my heart to see you cry."
Huo Sijin looked at the sobbing woman and felt helpless, not knowing how to comfort her.
