Although a day's running around did not make her feel physically tired, the fulfilling day still made her fall asleep quickly. Lightning lay beside her pillow, acting as a qualified night watchman.
The next day, He Xiaobei not only took over three gas stations, but also took over a tanker truck inside the gas station. She did not waste the underground space left empty after taking over the underground oil tanks. Instead, she threw all the domestic garbage she had accumulated into it. However, the corpses were still piled up in the space. She thought that these corpses might come in handy in the future.
In this way, she first collected all the gas stations around the city, and then moved closer to the city little by little. At this time, the ice in the city had completely melted. If it were not for the heavy fog blocking people's sight, at first glance, one would definitely think that they were in a water city abroad.
As she entered the city, she started to meet more and more people. As soon as she approached the gas station, she sensed several people inside.
She approached quietly, and the heavy fog prevented these people from seeing He Xiaobei.
As she got closer, she saw two assault boats with one person on each. They were taking supplies handed over by the people in the water.
The "tools" used by these people were very professional. Not only did they wear diving suits, they also had oxygen cylinders, diving goggles, diving headlamps, etc.
He Xiaobei was standing beside their boat at this time, watching them salvage supplies one by one. A lot of supplies had already piled up on the assault boat.
The reason why she was so interested in this group of people was that they were able to accurately find the location of the supermarket in such a thick fog, which made her think that they had some way to move around in the fog without getting lost.
At this moment, a man who had just emerged from the water took off his diving goggles, shook the water off his hair, and used his hand to gather the wet hair from his forehead. Suddenly, he saw a figure standing on the other side of the assault boat. He was so frightened that his hands shook and the diving goggles fell into the water.
"Hey, look, is there someone over there on the boat?"
Hearing his shout, the two people on the boat immediately turned their heads and shone their flashlights in the direction the man was looking. However, the moment they turned around, the man's figure disappeared into the mist. The two people waved the flashlight back and forth over the mist:
"He Yi, don't be so startled. Who is this person? If you scare someone, they'll kill you."
"That's right. The edge of the boat is water, not ground. How can someone stand on the water? You must be dazzled."
Now He Yi himself was a little unsure. Could it be that he was really dazzled and the diving mask had fallen into the water? He had no choice but to grab a new one from the assault boat and continue to go into the water to fish things out.
After putting on his glasses, he looked around with some doubt. After confirming that there was no one in sight, he dived back into the water.
He Xiaobei was hidden in the fog at this time, tilting her head and thinking. This group of people should not be out for the first time to look for supplies. She also observed the assault boat of this group of people just now, and did not find any instruments or the like in it.
How did this group of people stay in the fog without getting lost? How could she get this method or equipment from them so that she wouldn't have to grope her way and keep getting lost?
After thinking for a while, she still couldn't figure it out, so she decided to use a simple and crude method. She took out a kayak from the space and sat in it.
Then she used her special powers to control the kayak and moved closer to the two speedboats. This time, she even deliberately made some paddling sounds to alert the other party.
There are now four people on the assault boat, a total of six people, and they were all athletes of the provincial swimming team before the end of the world.
The sudden arrival of the end of the world also trapped them in the training team. Relying on the abundant food in the cafeteria and the relief food distributed by the government, they finally managed to survive the extreme cold with difficulty.
But they had already used up all the food they had. The rising temperature and heavy fog gave them hope. Others had no supplies at this time, but they could use their advantages to eat their fill and even save enough for what they needed to enter the base.
So after the temperature rose, a few people gathered all the equipment in the training team together, took them out and started diving to retrieve supplies.
When the four people on the assault boat heard the noise, they initially thought they had misheard. After listening carefully for a moment, they confirmed that it seemed that someone was really approaching them, but they couldn't see clearly.
They could only put down the supplies in their hands immediately, then picked up the kitchen knife and steel pipe beside them, raised their heads and looked towards the source of the sound with vigilance, waiting for the other party to get closer before deciding whether to take action.
It was not until He Xiaobei's rubber boat came into contact with the other party's assault boat that these people were able to see the person coming clearly, but after seeing clearly, several people were stunned.
There was only one person on the rubber boat. He was wearing a mask and glasses, and holding an assault rifle in his hand. The black muzzle of the gun was pointing in their direction.
Before they could react, He Xiaobei spoke coldly:
"I'll ask you questions and you'll answer them. This way we can skip a lot of unnecessary steps. What do you think?"
When He Xiaobei spoke, several older boys nodded frantically, their mouths becoming incoherent:
"Madam, no... no, big sister, it's not... ask us, ask us, and we will tell you everything we know."
He Xiaobei was very satisfied with their attitude. This was good enough, as it saved him from the torture and forced confession. It was so annoying.
"How do you manage to move freely in this fog?"
Several people were stunned for a moment, and after a long while one of the boys hesitated and spoke:
"I...we don't have free rein."
Now it was He Xiaobei's turn to be confused. What the hell? No free movement? Then why were they here? Where did all the supplies on the assault boat come from? But looking at them, it didn't seem like they were lying.
"Then how did you find this place? Tell the truth. If you dare to lie, I'll blow your head off."
Several people broke out in cold sweat at her cold words:
"We just paddled around randomly, and when we came across a supermarket or something, we'd grab some food. We just fished wherever we went, so we didn't really have the freedom to come and go as we pleased."
He Xiaobei's mouth twitched after hearing this. So, you guys don't have any idea how to navigate this fog, and your solution is just to go with the flow? Huh?
Both sides fell into a strange silence for a while, and everyone felt a little bit weirdly awkward.
A moment later, He Xiaobei controlled the rubber boat and quickly escaped, shouting "bad luck" in his heart as he walked.
