Ye Yunxi and Fu Heng returned to the kayak, took off their breathing apparatus, and gasped for breath.
After resting for a while, Ye Yunxi thought about it. They didn't have much gasoline stored up, and they didn't know if the flooded gas stations still had any gasoline, or if it was even usable.
Ye Yunxi turned to Fu Heng and asked, "Fu Heng, do you think gas stations still have gasoline at this time? If so, is it still usable?"
Fu Heng thought for a moment. "There should be some, maybe we can go and take a look. Gasoline is usually stored in gasoline drums underground at gas stations."
There should be a way down to the gas station; I'll look for it carefully when I get there.
Ye Yunxi thought about what Fu Heng said and realized that it made some sense. Regardless of whether the gas station still had gasoline, she should go and check, just in case she came across a gas station that didn't have time to empty its tank.
Ye Yunxi asked Xiaoyou in her heart, "Xiaoyou, do you still have an antique market and gold and jewelry stores? If not, could you check out the gas station for us?"
“There aren’t any around here for now, but there are definitely two gas stations. I’ll give you directions, and you can go there after you’ve rested,” Xiaoyou replied to Ye Yunxi.
"Okay, then thank you for your help." Ye Yunxi thanked Xiaoyou.
After Ye Yunxi finished talking with Xiaoyou, she told Fu Heng what Xiaoyou had just said.
“Fuheng, Xiaoyou said there are no antiques or gold jewelry nearby for the time being, but there are two gas stations. Let’s go there after we’ve rested.”
Fu Heng nodded. "Okay."
It was past four in the afternoon. Ye Yunxi and Fu Heng didn't waste any more time. They asked Xiao You for directions and paddled their kayak toward the gas station.
Ten minutes later, we arrived at the gas station that Xiaoyou had pointed out.
The two quickly went into the water. This time, Ye Yunxi put the kayak into her spatial storage because she didn't know how long it would take to get back up, and she couldn't afford to make another mistake.
After Fu Heng and Ye Yunxi packed up the kayak, the two quickly swam downstream.
Soon enough, we saw that there was indeed a gas station below.
Ye Yunxi and Fu Heng exchanged a glance and swam downstream until they reached the convenience store outside the gas station.
Looking around, Ye Yunxi saw that some light food and daily necessities were floating on the roof, while those subject to gravity remained in place.
Before Ye Yunxi could speak, Fu Heng took out a tool and smashed it against the glass, which shattered instantly.
Fu Heng gestured for Ye Yunxi to go inside together, and Ye Yunxi nodded.
The two swam into the convenience store, looking for items that were usable or edible, and stored them all in their spatial storage.
After collecting everything, they began searching for the entrance to the underground gasoline tanks.
After searching the convenience store without success, the two swam out and split up to search around the gas station.
After searching for a while, Fu Heng finally found the entrance to the gasoline tank, not far from the gas station, but it was inaccessible to people.
Just as Ye Yunxi was about to ask Fu Heng what to do, she saw him take out several robots from his spatial storage.
Fu Heng didn't explain to Ye Yunxi, but directly turned on the robot's switch, and the robot started working.
They started digging underground. The robots dug down as they went, and once they dug to a width that could accommodate one person, Fu Heng told Ye Yunxi to wait while he went down.
After Fu Heng went down, he saw three large oil tanks and, without saying a word, immediately put them all into his spatial storage. After that, he returned upstairs with the robot.
Ye Yunxi saw Fu Heng come out, and he nodded to her. Ye Yunxi was relieved. Then she asked Xiao You about another gas station, and she was told it wasn't far from here, and she could swim there in ten minutes.
Ye Yunxi and Fu Heng did not return to the surface of the water, but swam directly to the next gas station.
Ten minutes later, the two arrived at the gas station. Fu Heng took out the robot and dug for a while. Then, he let Ye Yunxi go in and collect the contents.
Ye Yunxi nodded and followed the robot inside. She saw that the room was empty, with three large oil tanks, each holding about 20 tons.
There are diesel and gasoline. Diesel is stored in one tank, and gasoline is stored in two tanks.
There was some water around the oil tank, but not much; it must have been from when the hole was just dug.
Without a second thought, Ye Yunxi put the robot into her spatial storage and then returned to the top.
She saw Fu Heng packing up the items in the convenience store. Ye Yunxi swam over to Fu Heng and told him that she had finished packing and they could leave.
The two swam back to the surface. Ye Yunxi took out a kayak, placed it on the water, and climbed into it.
Ye Yunxi removed the respirator, gasped for breath, and after a while, turned to ask Fu Heng.
"Fu Heng, how come the people you just brought out can still work in the water?"
“I made that. This robot is not only waterproof, but also electric and fire resistant. It can also dig holes and do other tasks. It’s a multi-functional robot,” Fu Heng replied to Ye Yunxi.
Ye Yunxi suddenly realized. "I put them into my space when I came up just now."
Fu Heng nodded. "Just put it in your space. I have more here."
"Okay. Should we continue searching, or go back?" Ye Yunxi asked.
“Either way is fine. If you want to continue searching, I’ll accompany you. If you want to go home, you can go home too,” Fu Heng replied with a smile.
Ye Yunxi figured that since she'd rarely come out, she should definitely make the most of it. She hadn't stockpiled many medicines before the apocalypse, so she could check at the pharmacy. She also hadn't stockpiled much metal materials.
We should stock up now so we won't have to worry about it later.
