"Hello, we are refugees from Hong Kong City and want to go to the Beijing base with you." This was when Zheng Ming found a way to use his skills.
"Do you have a car? If not, leave tomorrow morning. You know the rules, right?"
"We have a car and we know the rules. There are five of us. Can we use gasoline?"
"20 liters per person, go over there to hand them in and get your ID cards. Hurry up, we have to leave at 3:30."
"Okay, thank you! I'll be right there!"
Zheng Ming returned to the parking spot, where Xu Lin, Zhou Pin, Dai Qin, and Wang Jing were already waiting.
"We'll go pay for the gasoline in a bit, 20 liters per person, and then we can get an ID card and set off with them."
“I’ll go with you,” Zhou Pin said.
The two men carried 100 liters of mixed gasoline to the place the man had mentioned. After handing over the gasoline, the man gave them five ID cards, the same size as bank cards.
"Keep your card safe. It won't be replaced if lost. You can upgrade it to a resident card when you go to the base."
The two returned and drove their car to the back of the convoy, ready to depart soon.
Let's grab something to eat before we set off.
Xu Lin took out a rice ball and a cup of multigrain soy milk from her space and gave them to Zhou Pin. She couldn't eat strong-smelling food while traveling, but luckily she had a lot of these things in her space.
"Attention fellow travelers, please get on the bus and take your seats. We are about to depart and will not be stopping along the way."
After the two finished eating and rinsed their mouths, the sound of a loudspeaker came through.
“I’ll drive, you can lie down in the back for a while,” Zhou Pin said.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
Xu Lin yawned, put all the luggage in the back row into her storage space, and lay down on the inflatable mattress in the back row. The temperature was just over 20 degrees Celsius, which was perfect for sleeping. She soon drifted off to sleep.
"Attention everyone, please stop here for a rest. We will depart at 4 PM. Those who need to collect supplies should return as soon as possible."
"Attention everyone, please stop here for a rest. We will depart at 4 PM. Those who need to collect supplies should return as soon as possible."
Xu Lin was woken up by the horn. She raised her hand to look at her watch. It was 9 o'clock. The sun was shining brightly outside. The air conditioning in the car was on at 30 degrees Celsius. The temperature outside must be very high.
"We'll go out and see if there's anything we can pack up. We can't set the air conditioning too low, or it'll be unbearable outside," Zhou Pin explained.
"Don't you want to take a rest?"
"It's okay, I'm not tired. I'll go out for a walk while it's not too hot now, find a place to cook and rest, and come back in the afternoon."
"Where are we?" Xu Lin took out some cold noodles and ate them with Zhou Pin.
"It should be the border of Gangcheng, we're about to enter Weifang City."
"The speed is quite fast. At this rate, we should be able to reach Nanshi in another day."
"Xu Lin, Zhou Pin." Zheng Ming knocked on the car window.
Xu Lin finished the cold noodles in a few bites, put the two bowls into her storage space, wiped her mouth clean, sprayed air freshener, and opened the car window.
"What's wrong?"
"What are you two doing? It took you so long to open the window, you can't..."
"Yes, yes, just say what you need to say quickly, don't bother us." Xu Lin also started to be shameless.
"We want to go out and collect supplies, do you want to come with us?"
"Okay, I'll go in a bit." Zhou Pin said before Xu Lin could answer.
“Okay, we’ll wait for you over there.” Zheng Ming pointed to a building next door, then turned and left.
"We're not familiar with this area, so how can we collect supplies? Even if we do, we can't use our spatial storage, and it'll just be too much trouble for us."
“There’s a marine aquaculture base nearby, let’s go take a look,” Zhou Pin said.
