"Yes, we need to refuel." Jiang Yifeng said, "Drive the boat over."
Not only do you have to fill up the fuel tank, but you also have to store more oil. It will be difficult for the ship to refuel if it goes to sea.
Jiang Yifeng inspected the ship from top to bottom. A dozen plastic storage boxes filled with soil were fixed to an empty space at the front deck. Upon inquiry, he discovered they were planted with vegetables. Wind and solar generators were installed on the roof of the cabin, generating electricity for lighting, cooking, frying fish, and even heating water for hot showers. The cargo hold was also filled with boxes of instant noodles, bread, biscuits, and canned meat, enough for them to eat for a month or so. The boat also had a full complement of fishing nets and rods, allowing them to catch seafood if food ran low. The vegetables they had planted were almost ready to grow.
He has always been lucky, and it was a blessing in disguise that he got a big bargain!
At first, Jiang Yifeng wanted to bind the fishing boat to his own refuge, but the system reported an error. Black Donkey did some research and discovered that he needed to wait until the previous carrier was destroyed before he could bind a new one.
But the yacht was still in the lake, and insects were afraid of water, so the carrier would not be eaten by insects for a while. Fortunately, God helped him again, and the supplies on the boat were enough for them to survive until then.
However, their top priority now is to avoid being caught by the police. If they can hold out for a few days, when the insects gather in large numbers, the police will not be able to take care of them.
It’s definitely a good idea to go to the sea first.
"The fishing boat is preparing to anchor, all units please pay attention." Xiao Yi said into the invisible headset, and moved naturally towards the fishing boat.
"One group, get in position!"
"Group Two, take your positions!"
After listening to Xiao Yi's action plan, Tao Sai helped fill in some details that the special forces team didn't know. Finally, she said in the channel: "You must ensure the safety of the crew members on board. Please."
"Don't worry, it will be foolproof." Xiao Yi said.
Although he said this, Tao Sai could not fail to hear that there was more of a comforting meaning in his words.
Zhou Ning slowed down the boat and slowly drove it to the left side of the Xizhou water gas station.
At Jiang Yifeng's request, Old Liu in the rest cabin collected all the cash from several people, which was only 1,100 yuan in total. He now regretted throwing away all their mobile phones just now, otherwise he could have scanned out the money.
Lao Liu had experience in police custody. He knew that mobile phones could be used for satellite positioning. He was worried that if someone called the police, the police would be able to track their whereabouts through their phones, so he just threw all his phones into the river.
"You damned bastard," Jiang Yifeng cursed, pulling out all the cash in his wallet, but it only added up to 2,500 yuan. The fishing boat's engine was very fuel-intensive, and who knew how long 2,500 yuan of oil would last. He had to find a way to get more money.
The fishing boat slowly approached the edge of the gas station.
"One of you go lower the cable." Zhou Ning said, she was ready to turn off the engine.
"I'm going out, you keep a close eye on her." Jiang Yifeng said to Hei Lu.
They had committed a serious crime, and the police might be waiting to arrest them anywhere. If they were caught, they would have no choice but to die. Although Jiang Yifeng was a scoundrel, he was also afraid of death, so he had to be cautious and vigilant. Being careful was the key to success.
The other few people were all characters in his system. Black Donkey had the highest basic attribute points and the strongest combat power. However, he had used a star upgrade card on himself and equipped himself with a skill that could save his life in critical moments, so it was safest for him to go out.
He has used the skill [Clone] several times and is quite proficient in it, but unfortunately it only lasts five minutes each time.
After using the skill, a person with the same appearance, height and clothing as Jiang Mingfeng immediately appeared behind him.
Zhou Ning's eyes widened when she saw this, but because of the special effect [Blurred Perception], she wasn't too scared.
Jiang Mingfeng left his clone in the cockpit while his real self exited through the hatch. If he encountered an unexpected situation outside, he could simply switch his soul to the clone in the cockpit, and the real him outside would transform into the clone. Even if the clone was crushed to ashes outside, his real self would be safe and sound.
Xiao Yi, disguised as a gas station worker, stood at the edge of the operating platform, took the cable thrown by Jiang Yifeng, and tied it to the pile skillfully.
The fishing boat actually had three cables, but Jiang Yifeng deliberately only gave one so that if an emergency occurred, he could cut the cable and run away.
"Master, how much gas do you want?" Xiao Yi threw the gas hose to him and asked.
"Two thousand five hundred." Jiang Yifeng added, "Brother, if the tank is full, can I buy bulk gas with the remaining money?"
"Sorry, we don't sell bulk oil," said Xiao Yi.
"I'm going far this time. What should I do if I run out of gas on the way? Please be flexible."
"We have no choice but to accept the national policy and group regulations. Master, please understand us." Xiao Yi gave a professional fake smile and politely refused.
"Okay." Jiang Yifeng nodded helplessly, holding the gas gun and going to open the fuel tank hole.
After he unscrewed the hole in the fuel tank, he suddenly had an idea. The rules are rigid, but people are alive. He could find a way to pump the oil out of the tank and collect it with something, and then fill it up at the next gas station.
Jiang Yifeng aimed the head of the fuel gun at the oil hole, but after trying several times, the head just wouldn't connect. He looked up and asked Xiao Duo on the shore: "Little brother, is the model of your fuel gun not right?"
"No, the fuel tank holes of domestic ships of all sizes are of unified specifications. Try again and use more force." He stood on tiptoe to observe, trying to help him find the reason.
Jiang Yifeng tried several more times, pumping his guts out, sweat beads popping up on his forehead, but still to no avail. He straightened up and waved at the gas station attendant, "It's not going in. Forget it, just keep pumping like this."
"That won't work. If the fuel pipe is not fixed properly, air will get into the fuel tank and it may explode, especially in the hot summer." Xiao Yi said seriously.
"So what should we do?"
Jiang Yifeng was shocked when he heard that the fuel tank might explode. If it really exploded accidentally, it would be a huge loss for them to die on the boat.
"I guess it's either the parts are aging or the tank hole is loose. This is a long-standing problem with your fishing boat. Our gas station has repairmen who charge very reasonable fees," Xiao Yi suggested.
Jiang Yifeng felt something was amiss when he heard this, but he couldn't put his finger on it. However, the fuel tank was under the bow deck, so as long as he kept an eye on them and didn't let them get close to the cabin, there would be no problem. He nodded and said, "Okay, little brother, ask the master to help me fix it."
Xiao Yi made a phone call, and soon two repairmen, one old and one young, came to the edge of the platform carrying a toolbox and a ladder, set up the ladder and jumped onto the boat.
Jiang Yifeng led them to the fuel tank, but before they reached it, another fueler on the operating platform shouted loudly: "Oh my god, your ship is leaking oil!"
"What?" Jiang Yifeng's heart skipped a beat. He quickly lay on the side of the boat and looked back in the direction the gas station attendant pointed.
On the wide river, a large amount of dark and sticky liquid floated in the tracks of the fishing boats, like thick ink splashed on white rice paper, and the strong smell of diesel wafted into the air.
Black Donkey in the cockpit heard the refueler's shout and ran out to see what was happening. He panicked and said, "It's all leaking! Brother Feng, what should we do?"
Jiang Yifeng was also stunned at first, having never experienced such a scene before, but he quickly regained his composure. The ship's fuel tank was already low on oil, so the leak was only this much.
Xiao Yi, who was on the operating platform, looked nervous and excited: "Master, the oil leak is polluting the ecological environment. I'll quickly call more people aboard to repair it!"
"No, no, no! No need!" Jiang Yifeng refused subconsciously.
"This isn't something you can just say no to. We're leaking so much oil and polluting the environment. We're going to go to jail!" Xiao Yi was so excited that he made a phone call. "Hello, our boat is leaking oil. It's an emergency. Call two more engineers. Hurry!"
Jiang Yifeng got a headache when he heard the word "jail". He saw two more masters coming up from the operating platform, and the refueling point also sent out a small boat to clean the oil spill on the fishing boat's track.
The feeling of uneasiness became stronger and stronger. Because of the oil leak, he lost the initiative without knowing why, and always felt that he was being led by the nose.
But now all the oil has leaked out, the engine has no power, and I can't even run away.
He pinched the Jingmingxue on the bridge of his nose to calm himself down. Maybe he was just overthinking it.
Inside the rest cabin, with the door tightly shut and the glass windows tightly covered with curtains, Lao Liu, holding a gleaming knife, pointed at the hostages with their hands tied in the corner and fiercely warned, "If you dare make any noise, I'll chop you to death!"
Four repairmen meticulously used specialized tools at the bow to begin repairs. Their inspection revealed a crack in the side of the fuel tank, requiring a complete replacement. The repairmen quoted several expensive fuel tanks, and Jiang Yifeng gritted his teeth and chose the cheapest. With the tank broken, he was unable to move forward.
This is a major project that requires the removal of the old fuel tank before installation, and the repair time is not short.
Time passed minute by minute, nuts were loosened and tightened one by one, and the new fuel tank was installed. Jiang Mingfeng gradually relaxed his vigilance. There was nothing unusual about these masters. It seemed that he was indeed overthinking it.
The three people in the rest cabin gradually relaxed their guard after waiting for too long. Feng Liu bent down, covered his lower abdomen, and jogged, "Oh no, I can't hold it anymore. I need to pee."
The moment he opened the door, fully armed special forces broke in instantly.
Almost at the same time, two sniper bullets were fired from the top-floor window of the gas station. One of them passed through the windshield and hit Black Donkey's shoulder, making a big hole. He instantly lost his ability to move.
The other bullet grazed his calf due to the ups and downs of the fishing boat and Jiang Yifeng's unintentional movement. In panic, he barely managed to stabilize his body.
Two disguised repairmen rushed towards him, and he ran in the opposite direction for his life and climbed onto the side deck. At the moment when his body parts were fully exposed to the sniper's field of vision, two bullets hit his right thigh and left wrist.
"Damn it, you're trying to trick me!" His eyes were fierce, and he pushed his legs forward and jumped directly into the vast river.
