Chapter 278: Continue with Daily Life
"Tsk." The man seemed to be laughing out of anger, his eyebrows curved in a smile, his eyes narrowed, and he raised his hand to pinch his face with a clear target.
He Rui bent down and dodged, "Hey, I can't reach it!" After saying that, he turned around and ran away.
...
While browsing other stores with his backpack on his back, He Rui suddenly remembered: "Our car is out of gas."
He signaled with his eyes, asking his breadwinners if they wanted some oil.
However, judging by this consumption, he no longer wants to drive.
Scarce resources, use less of them.
Ji Changqing said calmly, "It's full."
"Huh?" He Rui was completely confused. "What? Brother, why did you fill up the tank? I didn't see you refuel."
He scratched his head in confusion.
I watched as the other person raised his empty hand, and out of thin air, a blob of light yellow liquid appeared and floated in the air.
"Is this gasoline?" He Rui was confused. He couldn't smell anything and had no way to confirm it.
After seeing Ji Changqing nod, he silently nodded in praise, "Awesome, you are worthy of me, I admire you. Since you are willing to fill up the gas tank, why don't you give me a small flashlight?" Why not give him some supplies?
Ji Changqing was silent for a while and gave an answer, "Save resources." Although, he could convert electricity.
"What resources are you saving? Brother Ji, ask yourself honestly, are these four words you said reasonable? Not giving out flashlights is saving, but can we fill up the gas tank?" He Rui couldn't help but complain, "Speaking of saving, I feel like the way we drive now is too wasteful of gas and not really appropriate.
What we have saved is only enough for a few days of travel. It is better to keep it as a strategic reserve and use it in an emergency in the future.
Now it feels a bit wasteful.
How about I follow you on a bike?
Or maybe I should just stay put like before and not follow you for now, and come back to me when you're done? What do you think, brother?
Ji Changqing frowned, listened patiently, and then calmly replied, "Don't worry about the gasoline, I can take care of it."
Like gasoline and electricity, he can perform simple material conversions.
The oil just now was transformed by him.
"Oh my god, so amazing! How did you figure it out? You can even refine crude oil? How did you do it? Did you just conjure it up like that?"
He Rui had seen his brother Ji do enough incredible things, so he was relatively calm this time and was not particularly surprised.
“It can be transformed.”
"Convert? How? Can you get as much as you want? Or have you found an oil field?"
"It's not an oil field. Like other substances, by exchanging unequal amounts and arbitrarily transforming elements, gasoline can be produced in unlimited quantities. As long as my ability exists, there is no need to worry about gasoline shortages." Ji Changqing explained.
He Rui gave a thumbs up, "Wow, that's great."
He didn't know if there were any similar cutting-edge technologies in chemistry, and he didn't know if his brother Ji's ability was particularly unreasonable.
But I feel that based on the ability that Brother Ji described, this person should already be an alchemist, and perhaps he can also turn iron into gold.
Passing by a seed shop, there are all kinds of crops, vegetables, fruit trees, and flower seeds, as well as fertilizers, spray bottles, pesticides, shovels, flower pots, nutrient soil and nutrient solution.
He Rui quickly asked the people around him to collect some seeds and tools and save them for future farming.
Although the storage conditions of these bagged seeds are unclear, and the extremely low temperatures for several months may have destroyed all the seeds, it is still a hope and cannot be missed.
He still wants to eat fresh vegetables.
He Rui walked while chatting with Ji Changqing beside him.
“No wonder we can’t grow plants, except for that alien super virus that can infect both plants and animals.
Didn't the tsunami flood the land earlier? It's been soaking for so long, so the seawater must have flooded back in. The farmland has all been soaked and turned into saline soil. If we don't treat it properly, we really can't grow food.
Brother Ji, you can see far ahead. Do you see any plants on the road now?"
He hadn't seen roadside trees for a long time.
What we saw before were all rotten trees broken by the tsunami.
"Yes." Ji Changqing nodded, "There are mutant plants. Do you want to see them?"
"A mutant plant? The kind you mentioned before, the one that eats people and told me to be careful?" He Rui asked curiously. "I've never seen one before, and I'm curious. How did it survive? Didn't it get washed away by the sea? How can this thing eat people?"
Almost the only plants seen after the disaster were the thick vines that the evolvers had previously controlled.
"I'll take you to see it tomorrow." Ji Changqing replied softly.
"Really? Brother Ji, you are so nice." He Rui praised.
After praising him, he couldn't help but sigh silently, thinking that his mentality was not very good.
He was indeed protected too well, and people even treated the mutant plants that could endanger the lives of the survivors as rare things and wanted to visit them.
"Will this delay your trip? Don't you still need to find mutant animals?" He Rui asked.
However, if his brother Ji went to see it and eliminated the mutated plants at the same time, it would be a great achievement.
Brother Ji eliminated the creatures that eat people, and he did a great deed.
"It has no impact. Just like mutant animals, the energy they devour is a lot, and the benefits are the same. Besides, aren't we going to run tomorrow? We can go there in the morning and take a look." Ji Changqing explained.
"Okay!" He Rui nodded happily.
The two continued to wander around the commercial center.
He Rui discovered that most of the useful stores had been emptied of their belongings.
No one would buy useless items that can't be used for survival in such stores.
There is a brush shop. The shop is brand new, just like a business that is still in operation. It has not even been damaged. There are piles of large white brushes standing up with their heads facing upwards.
It’s different in clothing stores. Due to the temperature, clothes are in short supply and the stores are almost stripped bare of mannequins.
Not to mention food and water, all the small supermarkets and food stores along the way were looted, with not a single scrap left.
He Rui looked around but found almost nothing useful in his backpack, which was quite empty.
He was almost at the rooftop, but he still couldn't find the antique shop.
I felt very depressed and was wondering whether I should find another gift for Ji Changqing.
Although it can’t be said to be a gift now, because the owner has been following me around running errands and acting as a flashlight.
Whenever he gave something as a gift, he would just hand it to the other person in front of them.
It is equivalent to forcibly becoming a middleman in front of consumers.
When passing by a jade and gold jewelry store, He Rui wondered whether he should find a big gold chain and a small gold watch to hang on his brother Ji.
The result was unexpected. When I walked into the store, I found that this kind of store had also been looted and nothing was left.
He knew about buying gold in troubled times, but he didn't expect that in such a chaotic time, there were people actively collecting such things.
