After noon, the family planned to continue on their journey. Lu Guanhai said that he had rested for a long time and offered to drive to find a gas station.
But after driving forward for a while, the wheels sank into the thick sand and could not move forward.
Nie Qing used his wind ability to sweep away the sand several times, but the effect was not very good. The flying sand even blurred his vision in front.
Although using Lin Cheng's earth-based ability would be more effective at this time, looking at the long route on the map, Lu Hao was already considering whether to give up.
"Someone is coming up ahead"
Mao Qiqi said.
It seemed like a team, but there were only eight people. However, each of them was a mutant, and they were moving quite fast.
"Coming in our direction?"
Su Jin asked again. If that was the case, then they should also prepare in advance.
When the family reappeared in the car as Long Xing Tian Xia, the team Mao Qiqi mentioned was about to arrive.
Ahead, amidst the flying sand, a heavy vehicle resembling a tank was driving. Its tracked wheels rolled over the thick sand as if there was no resistance at all. However, there were no offensive weapons on its body, otherwise Lu Hao and Su Xiangzhe would have been prepared to impose martial law.
The tank stopped about 100 meters away from the SUV, and two tightly wrapped men walked out of it.
“Don’t get off the bus yet.”
Lu Hao said to the people in the car, and his vigilance made him lock the car doors.
Two men outside had already walked over. Luo Yuan knocked on the car window, pulled off his wind and sand mask, and revealed a big smile with white teeth.
"Hello, do you need any help?"
"Hello, our car is running out of gas, and we're going to go find some. I didn't expect the roads here to be so difficult to navigate."
Su Xiangzhe had an honest face and spoke in an honest manner, which instantly dispelled the doubts of the two people outside the car.
"Hahaha, of course. You want a car like yours to go on a sandy road? Even if you stand still here, you'll be buried by the wind and sand in a short while."
The man next to Luo Yuan laughed loudly.
"Well, forget it, we'll just go back the same way."
Lu Hao said that these people were obviously martial artists and he didn't want to have a conflict with them.
But unexpectedly, two men outside stopped them.
"Don't go, aren't you looking for gasoline? We sell gasoline."
Luo Yuan stopped the car and shouted while leaning on the car window which Lu Hao had opened only a crack.
Selling gasoline? People still sell that these days?
"How do you sell it?"
Lu Hao asked.
"We are a serious caravan. One liter of gasoline costs 500 crystal cores. It's the same price everywhere."
Luo Yuan stretched out a finger and said.
“Too expensive”
Su Jin in the car calculated that filling up the car at once would cost 50,000 to 60,000 crystal cores, which was really too much.
“We don’t have that many crystal cores.”
Lu Hao also felt that this was extremely unprofitable, and it would be better for them to go to the Dead City Y Autonomous Region to look for it.
"No, brothers, it's okay to be cheaper. If you buy a large quantity, the price will be better. It will be more cost-effective to exchange it for supplies..."
Luo Yuan tried to persuade him to stay, but Lu Hao, who had already started the car, stopped after hearing the last sentence.
"Exchange for supplies, how do you do that?"
Wasting crystal cores is not an option, but wasting supplies is something they can listen to.
"You have supplies?!"
The man next to Luo Yuan also became interested and pushed Luo Yuan away and asked.
The family didn't expect that after they asked how to exchange supplies, the other party became more enthusiastic. Luo Yuan even called the remaining few people out of the car.
"We are not liars, Xiao Ye, show them our goods."
Luo Yuan said to his companions.
A short man with a turban came forward. He just made a gesture, and a large oil tank more than two meters high appeared in front of everyone.
"We have countless oil tanks like this."
Luo Yuan said proudly.
The whole family had already come downstairs. Looking at this genuine big oil tank, they couldn't help but show joy in their eyes. This big tank of oil would last them at least half a year.
"Hello, we are also a caravan. If we can exchange supplies for gasoline, I think we can have a good talk."
Lu Hao then said seriously.
It turned out that Luo Yuan and his team made a living by selling gasoline and diesel. However, their team was large and was stationed in Province Z all year round. They would go to the surrounding bases to sell gasoline, and then exchange the crystal cores they got for supplies at bases with supplies to make a living.
"Oh my god, so you are the Dragon Travels the World!"
After hearing what Lu Hao said, Luo Yuan was surprised. This is the legendary team. I didn’t expect to meet them.
"That's right, that's why our gasoline consumption is quite high, after all, we have to travel all year round."
Lu Hao nodded and replied.
"If that's the case, we can have a long-term partnership. We can just trade our goods directly with you, eliminating the middleman who makes a profit from the price difference."
Zhao Nian, who was beside Luo Yuan, said.
"Brother, you're quite good at calculating, but we can't afford to buy your 500 crystal cores per liter."
Lin Xiuyuan said.
"Don't worry, if you're from Longxingtianxia, it'll be easy. Just follow us to the base station in front of us. We can change the oil for you regardless of the amount."
Luo Yuan persuaded that Xiao Ye's space was not big, and he wished that Long Xing Tianxia could change more oil.
"Well, that's fine. If we want to cooperate long-term, we can go directly to your base station to replace it if we need it in the future."
Su Xiangzhe thought it was okay. Even if there was any danger at that time, they could just hide in the space.
It's just the way it goes...
"Xiao Ye, quickly get out our spare car!"
Zhao Nian urged, asking how lucky they were today that they could actually do business with Long Xingtianxia.
The space inside the spare tank was not small, but it was filled with scattered sand. However, this was inevitable because Su Jin found that they had only stood outside for a while and their clothes and hair were covered with sand. No wonder Luo Yuan and the others were wrapped so tightly.
"I don't think they are bad people. They have heard of us."
Huang Yunxiang said that they were the only family in the car, and the other party just asked them to follow the car in front without using any other means.
"Well, at least it's true they don't lack oil."
Lu Hao pointed to the dashboard and said that the reason why this car can run in the sand is that its fuel consumption is extremely high. If an ordinary team does not have enough gasoline or diesel, it will be difficult to sustain it.
