"Why don't we just trade grain with him?"
"Sigh, if that's really the case, it's too easy. This guy's price is outrageously high, and he's always ripping people off! There's no way to deal with him!"
After agreeing on a time, Lu Yuan gathered ten people from District 3 to go and get gasoline.
The weather remained gloomy on the second day, and due to the low temperature, there was a thick fog on the water.
Moreover, the deeper they went, the shorter the visibility became, but fortunately they all had GPS positioning, so they weren't afraid of getting lost.
The floodwaters submerged vast areas of farmland, turning what were once farmlands into a vast expanse of water.
Occasionally, the boat would encounter some refugees on the water. When they saw the motorboat, they would cling to tree trunks and call for help, or try desperately to rush aboard, but Yuan Yuan and his men would kick them off without any politeness.
Finally, we drove out of the area shrouded in thick fog, and the view ahead became clearer.
At this moment, Yuan Yuan, who was steering the boat, spoke to everyone.
"We're only 500 meters away. Everyone be careful, there are definitely people lying in ambush nearby!"
Everyone gripped their weapons tightly.
There were three ships that followed them. Lu Yuan was on the first ship, while the other two ships were basically empty. After all, they needed to get a lot of gasoline, so they had to keep the ships empty.
The first boat was already packed with people. After traveling about two or three hundred meters, Yuan Yuan stopped.
"We can only go this far. We can't go any further. They'll put a lot of obstacles in the river, and the boat might get stuck there."
"Okay, let's swim there!"
Lu Yuan nodded and followed the other person into the water, swimming towards the riverbank.
After swimming for about ten meters, the group found a stranded mudflat and climbed up. Yuan Yuan took out a monocular telescope from his pocket and looked into the distance.
"There shouldn't be too many people at the gas station right now. Let's go there now; there shouldn't be any major problems!"
Lu Yuan also took out his binoculars and looked in the direction of the gas station.
There were about twenty or thirty people squatting next to a gas station, each with their mouths covered by rags, clearly indicating that a serious outbreak had occurred there as well.
Just then, a shout came from afar.
The displaced people, who had been sitting listlessly on the ground, perked up immediately after hearing this.
"Did they go to eat?"
Yuan Yuan checked the time.
"That's right, they've gone to eat. Now is a good time for us to go over, but we still need to be careful. The sentries nearby take turns eating, so it's best not to alert them!"
So the group tiptoed over. Although the fog wasn't very thick, they were still easy to spot from a distance.
Moreover, the enemy's sentries are currently inexperienced, chatting idly, and some are even sleeping.
Lu Yuan took out a bow and arrow from his pocket and aimed at a sentry on the high platform.
With a "whoosh," the other person clutched their neck and collapsed to the ground.
Yuan Yuan glanced at the crossbow in Lu Yuan's hand, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes.
"Wow, bro, you don't even know there's a weapon like that!"
"They're just signing up. Let's go, let's rush over now and take as much as we can while they're eating and not paying attention!"
Then several people rushed over, their bodies bent low.
By the time the sentry on the other side reacted, it was too late. Lu Yuan and his men rushed over, wielding various iron bars and kitchen knives, and killed the sentry as easily as chopping melons and vegetables.
Then a group of people rushed into the warehouse, and Lu Yuan immediately saw a hundred or so barrels of gasoline neatly stacked in the warehouse.
A prominent sign hangs near the oil drums: No Smoking.
Lu Yuan went forward and pushed an oil drum to test it. It was full, and it should be filled with gasoline, as you could smell the odor.
So Lu Yuan pushed an oil drum to the ground, and then the others followed suit.
Then the group pushed the oil drums and rushed back the way they had come.
However, the oil drums kept making noise on the ground, and the road surface had been washed away, so sometimes when pushing them, you had to pay attention to the direction in which the oil drums rolled to prevent them from veering off course and running too far away.
The crowd pushed and ran, leaving a few people behind to keep watch at a distance.
Soon, the group pushed about twenty barrels of oil back onto the road, and more than twenty minutes had passed, yet the other party still hadn't reacted.
However, just as they were feeling happy, a stretch of cement road suddenly appeared in front of them, and the oil drums rolled on it, making a loud noise that could be heard from a great distance.
The person on guard suddenly shouted into the distance, "They've spotted us! Run!"
Everyone tensed up and quickly sped up their run.
A group of people behind them shouted and cursed loudly at the crowd.
"Someone's trying to steal our oil! Come quick and catch them!"
"Catch them, skin them alive! Burn them alive!"
"Damn it! Chase after them! The reward for catching one is fifty pounds of rice! Hurry up and chase them!"
...
They pushed the oil drum with both hands and feet, running forward continuously. However, due to the bumpy road surface, the oil drum moved very slowly.
The number of refugees behind them grew larger and larger, and then the roar of a car engine burst out from the crowd, immediately alerting everyone.
