Chapter 14 Survivors in the gas station
This is a second-level gas station, with an estimated oil storage capacity of more than 100 cubic meters. Even if a lot of oil is used up by the traffic on weekdays, the oil inside is enough for Yun Shuhuai to use for a while.
At this time, the entire gas station was empty. Except for some zombies trapped in the cars still howling, most of them were attracted by the movement created by Yun Shuhuai's drones.
Several gas pumps stood quietly under the lights, and the doors of the stations next to them were dark and open, as if something terrible would run out of them in the next moment.
It is still the early days of the apocalypse, and the power system is still running, but over time, if there is no one to maintain the power station, it can only last for a month at most, and it is not ruled out that the power outage is directly caused by the broken power lines. Hydropower and wind power stations will last longer.
In the previous life, the base was basically powered by solar panels, and electricity was not guaranteed all the time. If you want to use more electricity, you have to spend crystal cores to buy it. Some people will also install solar panels on their own land and make a living by selling electricity.
Although there are also lightning power users in the base, the lightning they emit is too powerful and difficult to control, and they are mainly used for attack. Before her death, the base was still conducting research on the controllability of lightning power.
The gas pump is still operating normally, Yun Shuhuai does not have a gas card, and the zombie employees of the gas station have also run away with the drone.
But she didn't want to follow the rules and use the oil gun to get the oil. The speed was too slow. She couldn't guarantee that the drone could attract all the zombies nearby. She was afraid that zombies in the distance were being attracted by the sound.
Yun Shuhuai walked to a wide area next to the gas station. There were several heavy square covers on the ground, and there was a "No Fireworks" sign next to it.
This is it, the oil tank area.
After checking the surroundings to ensure safety, Yun Shuhuai pulled out the arm blade, injected energy, and broke the closed cover.
She stretched out her hand and covered it, and directly received the large oil tank buried in the ground into the space.
There are three gasoline tanks and a diesel tank buried underneath. Adhering to the principle of leaving a way out, Yun Shuhuai did not collect all the gas, but left a gasoline can for other survivors.
After doing all this, Yun Shuhuai was ready to leave. Tonight's mission was completed, and she wanted to find a safe place to rest.
Suddenly, there was a rustling sound from the bushes on the side of the road, and it seemed to be accompanied by the sound of a beast panting.
No way, she was about to leave, and in the end, this happened?
Yun Shuhuai was helpless, but no matter how much she complained, she still had to stay alert and be prepared for a fight.
It was already past ten o'clock. At this time, those who appeared outside were either humans or zombies, but the movement in the bushes was obviously the latter.
Being able to hide in low bushes means that this zombie is not very big.
Yun Shuhuai guessed that it might be some kind of zombie animal.
In the apocalypse, it is not only humans who become zombies, but also animals. The zombie animals in the city are mostly cats, dogs, and rats. They may be more difficult to deal with than human zombies. After being infected with the zombie virus, they are more ferocious than wild beasts.
Their small size makes their attacks unexpected and hard to defend against.
They will also sneak into human safe hiding places. In the previous life, the base was not only troubled by the tide of corpses, but also had to defend against the zombie rats digging holes under the base and the attacks of zombie birds circling in the sky.
Yun Shuhuai held the knife across her chest and slowly backed away, putting some distance between herself and the bushes.
She didn't think she could just retreat back to the wall and climb up it safely. Zombies are always attacking people. Yun Shuhuai backed away further and further, and it finally couldn't bear it anymore.
A black shadow emerged from the bushes and flew towards her at a high speed, close to the ground. When it was about to get close, Yun Shuhuai calmly raised her leg and kicked it. The blade popped out from her foot and directly cut off a part of its body.
The zombie was kicked several meters away by her kick.
A closer look revealed that it was a zombie cat.
The cat's abdomen had just been cut by the blade, revealing its white ribs covered with dirt, some of which was already flowing out.
But the head was not injured, so it was of no use.
It lay on the ground and roared miserably at Yun Shuhuai. Several zombies howled from all directions, as if responding to it. Rapid and chaotic footsteps also gradually sounded in the distance.
Oh no, it's summoning its companions.
Yun Shuhuai was shocked.
A zombie that can summon its companions appeared on the first day?
We have to deal with it quickly, otherwise it will be troublesome if the zombie army surrounds us.
Drive away? The zombie cat was very fast, and she couldn't guarantee that she wouldn't be attacked by it when getting on the bus.
Hide directly in the space? The place to enter and exit the space is the same. You can't see the situation outside from the space, and she doesn't want to stand in a pile of zombies after coming out.
Yun Shuhuai took the initiative to attack, but the zombie cat was smaller and more flexible, so even though she hit it several times, it was not fatal.
The zombies that came from a distance had already seen her and rushed over with a roar.
There is no time!
Yun Shuhuai suddenly envied those natural ability users. She would have destroyed them with a direct long-range attack. Her own ability only allowed her to fight in close combat with two knives. Speed type is not bad, at least she can run away.
Although I am stronger now than in my previous life, I am still far inferior to them.
Otherwise, just go into the space directly. At most, I can stay in there for a few more days. The zombies outside will eventually disperse.
Yun Shuhuai gritted her teeth and was about to hide in the space. Suddenly, something whizzed past her and nailed the zombie cat to the ground.
Yun Shuhuai took the opportunity to quickly go up and chop off its head, only to find that it was an ice cone.
Ice-type mutant!
She looked in the direction where the ice cone came from, and a head popped out of the window of a room on the second floor of the gas station building. The man waved his hand and told her to run away.
Yun Shuhuai did not hesitate, and quickly ran to the station building, stretched out his claws, and quickly climbed to the top of the building.
She did not enter the room directly from the window, but hid on the roof, picked up the drone remote control that she had placed on the roof to maintain the signal, turned off the music color light, and remotely controlled it back.
Then she adjusted it again and released it from the front.
The zombie cat just called over a lot of zombies, most of them saw her climb up the building, so they would definitely surround her below and enter the station room that was not closed.
She can now enter the space safely without having to worry about the zombies below, but her benefactor is still inside! She doesn't want to repay kindness with hatred. Besides, she has to escape anyway, and it's not a good idea to have so many zombies surrounding her below.
After Yun Shuhuai remotely controlled the drone above the road, she turned on the lights and music. The loud rock music immediately attracted many zombies nearby.
She set the direction and let it fly automatically to a place with few buildings. After the zombies below ran away, she climbed from the roof to the room of the survivor just now.
This is a small office, and there is a man hiding inside. He should be in his twenties, with a straight and slender figure, wearing a suit. The room is dark so his face cannot be seen clearly, but judging by the light coming in from outside, he should be good-looking.
However, Yun Shuhuai is not interested in seeing what this man looks like. After she came in, she found a seat by the window and sat down to observe the screen on the remote control, and manually controlled the drone again.
When the man saw Yun Shuhuai coming in, he didn't say anything and just fiddled with her things. Although he was very curious about this girl with too many equipment, he didn't say anything, knowing that what she was doing now was very important, so he also found a stool and sat quietly beside her, watching Yun Shuhuai control the drone.
