Chapter 369 The Oil War



Xiao Zhao asked Lu Yu, "General, shall we see him?"

Fang Yu hesitated for a moment, then said, "See you there."

Since we're so close, it would be best to find out the truth about their war.

Bai Jiu and Xiao Zhao went to the cockpit and brought the submarine room to the surface.

Before opening the lid, Bai Shuang reminded her, "Put on your bulletproof vest."

"Honey, don't go out."

"It's alright, I'll stay behind you."

"no."

"I know you're worried about my safety, but if we don't face any challenges, I'll become useless."

She is an eagle, with sharp talons, who needs to be honed in the waves, not a canary that always hides in the back.

Lu Yu nodded helplessly, "You'd better stick close to me."

In the darkness, the submarine cabin rose, and the Babii people immediately climbed onto the roof.

Liu Qiang and Wang Bin turned on the ultrasonic endoscope to check the surroundings.

"General, there is a submarine 100 meters away."

Lu Yu nodded. "Shout to them."

"Put down your weapons and raise your hands."

An external spy camera transmitted an International English message.

The other party did as instructed. There were three of them. They placed their weapons aside, raised their hands, and stopped 5 meters from the entrance.

Lu Yu led Xiao Zhao and Xiao Wang out, while Bai Shuang and Bai Jiu stood at the door, raising their guns to be on high alert.

The two men first searched them and found a knife on one of them, which they placed together with their guns.

Three of them were Babylonian soldiers, and the other two were clearly followers of one of them.

Lu Yu spoke to them in an international language, "Speak, what is it?"

They clasped their hands together and replied in the same international language, "Could you give us some food?"

Lu Yu: "Food is a lifesaver right now, why should we give it to you?"

Unconditional donations do not exist in the end times.

They pondered for a while.

“We have fuel, and we can trade fuel for food.”

"Where, on that submarine?"

"There is some on the submarine, but not much. Our fuel is stored elsewhere."

"If you want to trade fuel for food, fine, but first tell us why the southern monkeys are fighting with you?"

They thought about it for a moment and nodded.

"The Southern Monkeys are fighting against us for the American people, and the American people are providing them with weapons."

Lu Yu: "Why are the people from the US attacking you?"

The soldier hesitated for a long time, feeling very conflicted. Without food, they would all starve to death, and would perish without anyone fighting them.

There are some mutated species in the sea, but eating them will make you sick.

He sighed, "Because they want to plunder our oil."

Lu Yu understood. "Do you have a lot of oil?"

The person was in a difficult position and didn't want to talk.

"You don't have to say how many people there are now."

Oil is their lifeline, so they won't reveal its reserves or locations unless it's a matter of life and death.

There are more than 600 people here.

Lu Yu nodded, "Okay, we can go get the fuel and exchange it for grain. We'll do it at two liters of fuel for one pound of dry grain."

You need to leave two people here, and one person go to get it. No more than five people can deliver fuel, and they cannot bring weapons.

If anything seems amiss, let's fight.

Xiao Zhao and his men pointed their guns at them, ready to fire at any moment.

Lu Yu offered a fair price; in the apocalypse, food was precious, and so was fuel.

The three men were trembling slightly, but they endured it. One of them jumped into the water and swam towards the submarine.

Before long, two rubber boats swam over, carrying small barrels full of fuel, including their highest-ranking officer.

As soon as he arrived, he said in International English, "Thank you for your help!"

Lu Yu asked Bai Shuang to take out the canned food and grains she had obtained from the notebook before the storm, and also some sweet potatoes and potatoes.

Although compressed biscuits are expensive, they still prefer them because they are filling enough.

They used diesel fuel, and the two small boats made several trips back and forth, bringing the fuel over and taking the grain back.

"We Chinese have a proverb that says, 'A common man is innocent, but he is guilty of possessing a treasure,' because the fuel you store may be killed by invaders from all over the world."

Lu Yu suggested to them, "If you have enough oil, you can consider cooperating with us."

Give us fuel, and we can shelter you.

You know the international reputation of the Chinese people.

The officer couldn't make a decision at the time and said they would consider it.

After they left, Bai Shuang and the others closed the hatch, the submarine house sank into the water, and after driving a little further, they stopped in a different place.

Bai Jiu: "Damn, they only have a little over 600 left. How are they going to fight Old M?"

Bai Shuang: "There aren't many people in the US, otherwise why would they hire Southern monkeys to help them fight the war?"

This is the end times; very few people remain in any country.

Xiao Zhao: "General, why should we help them?"

"If they are wiped out, the oil will fall into the hands of the Americans, and once the Americans become powerful, our future will not be peaceful."

Xiao Yang: "Will they ask us for help again?"

Lu Yu: "Yes, it won't be long before we need to ask for help again."

Because the people of the United States won't let them off so easily.

Bai Chang asked Bai Shuang, "Will they consider the son-in-law's suggestion?"

"Yes, it will, but the time isn't right yet."

Lu Yu looked at Bai Shuang, "Will there be any more natural disasters?"

"Based on the warning analysis at the time, the storm should have been the last one."

Lu Yu: "Can we accept them and have them join our country?"

Bai Shuang: "It's not impossible, as long as they have enough leverage."

With the world's populations currently small, labor shortages are inevitable during future reconstruction efforts.

Lu Yu nodded.

The next day, Wang Bin and Liu Dong sent a signal while patrolling the sea, indicating that Nanhou's ship was wandering around, seemingly searching for something.

Lu Yu: "Keep an eye on them from a distance."

Bai Shuang: "I wonder if those Babylonians will be able to escape?"

No sooner had Bai Shuang finished speaking than the sound of gunfire erupted in the distance, followed by the call of Wang Bin and his men.

"General, Babylon is being targeted again."

"Is it the US country, or those Southern monkeys?"

"No, it's another group of people."

Then, Wang Bin reported the exact location, and Bai Shuang told Bai Jiu to start the submarine and head over there.
