Chapter 74 Earthquake, Team
Jiang Si woke up suddenly in shock and quickly picked up the gun.
The helicopter slowly landed more than a hundred meters away from them, and Lu Zhifeng took a look through the telescope.
Sitting in the cockpit was a female pilot like Jiang Si.
This slightly reduced everyone's hostility towards the helicopter.
Soon, two well-dressed men in suit jackets got off the helicopter.
At the same time, they also have a small pistol in their hands for defense.
Both sides were armed and very cautious. The older, shrewd-looking man said to Jiang Linhai, "Brother, we have no ill intentions. Can we stay here for a while and rest? We can coexist peacefully."
As long as there is no threat, who wants to kill innocent people?
Jiang Linhai made an OK gesture, and the man smiled and also made an OK gesture, indicating that they had reached a consensus.
Zhuang Qiyuan and Zhuang Chenshen returned to the helicopter and asked, "Dad, what if these people want to rob us?"
The two men who got off the other side's helicopter were obviously equipped with much better weapons and equipment than them.
They only had two guns, which were smuggled items hidden before the apocalypse, and only a few bullets were left.
It would be disastrous if these people suddenly became malicious and robbed them.
Zhuang Chenshen looked at Zhuang Feiyue who was lying in the cab and sighed, "You have to let your sister rest. Rest, and then plan where to go!"
Zhuang Feiyue likes extreme sports and is the only one who can fly a helicopter. If she doesn't get enough rest, even if the helicopter takes off, accidents are likely to happen.
Zhuang Chenshen took the biscuits and water his wife handed him, took a couple of bites, then suddenly stood up and walked towards the back of the cabin. Zhuang Qiyuan followed closely behind him. He saw Zhuang Chenshen frowning and saying, "We only have one last barrel of oil left."
Only one barrel of oil left!
Zhuang Qiyuan was shocked: "Then we should stay here! What if we run out of fuel mid-air?"
Zhuang Chenshen pointed out the window and said, "Even if there's no earthquake here, the food we have left won't last us more than a month. The surroundings are so desolate, with gullies everywhere and no water. There are also aftershocks from time to time. Staying here is just waiting to die."
Zhuang Qiyuan's expression changed again and again. Wang Rongxue, who was standing next to him, immediately glanced at the helicopter next to him and whispered in a low voice, "Shall we go borrow some oil?"
Those people had no intention of robbing them, which meant that they were not short of oil and might have some extra to give them.
Wang Rongxue planned to double the amount when he got to his eldest son's place.
As soon as he finished speaking, he was rejected by both father and son.
"At this critical moment, who would lend me oil for free? A verbal check won't work."
Wang Rongxue held onto a glimmer of hope: "Let's give it a try. We can't just get stuck here and die!"
Zhuang Qiyuan stared at Jiang Si and the others' helicopter and said to Zhuang Chenshen, "Dad, how about we team up with them?"
"First, there's strength in numbers. Second, we can share fuel. Third, there will be two pilots, and my sister can get a good rest."
Wang Rongxue's eyes lit up, thinking it was a good idea. However, Zhuang Chenshen frowned and lowered his voice, saying, "If we team up with them, we'll have to share supplies. We don't have many to begin with. If something goes wrong and they're out of supplies and fuel, it would be like delivering things to them for nothing. We should wait and see."
When Zhuang Feiyue woke up, it was already dusk.
The helicopter on the opposite side remained silent and motionless.
Zhuang Qiyuan came over and asked hurriedly, "Sister, we only have one barrel of oil left, what should we do?"
It would be nice to be able to find some oil somewhere, but most of the supplies in the city are under control.
Getting two barrels of oil is as difficult as peeling off a layer of skin.
Zhuang Feiyue glanced at the surrounding environment, and suddenly, there was another vibration under her butt.
There are constant aftershocks and it's not safe here either.
She glanced at the map and said, "We can only try our best to find the best place for us to survive before this barrel of oil runs out."
Wang Rongxue's heart trembled: "What if the gas runs out mid-journey?"
Zhuang Feiyue was silent for a moment before saying, "Everyone can only prepare to jump out of the plane."
Wang Rongxue was so frightened that he turned pale and said to Zhuang Chenshen, "How about we just listen to Qi Yuan and team up with them?"
Zhuang Chenshen thought about it seriously and decided that it would be better to take a chance than for the whole family to face such a huge risk alone.
He asked Wang Rongxue to prepare some instant noodles and water as a gift, and took Zhuang Qiyuan towards Jiang Si and the others.
Seeing them get off the helicopter again, Jiang Linhai and Lu Zhifeng raised their guns and rushed forward to meet them.
Zhuang Chenshen smiled and said, "Two big brothers, I don't know if you have eaten yet. We still have some instant noodles and water."
Jiang Linhai didn't care about their little food. He frowned and said, "Just say what you want to say. Don't beat around the bush."
He used to work at the company, but he didn't want to deal with people like this and felt tired, so he quit his stable job and went home to work as a contractor.
Zhuang Chenshen asked tentatively, "Can we exchange two barrels of fuel for yours? Once we reach the North Country, my eldest son will definitely double your compensation."
Jiang Linhai frowned and said, "No!"
There is a lot of fuel in Jiang Si's space, and the important thing is to be careful not to let others find out that Jiang Si has a space.
At this time, fuel is the most scarce resource.
No one knows how much fuel a helicopter needs to fly safely to another place.
Only a fool would agree to the change and reveal that they have excess fuel.
Zhuang Chenshen had anticipated Jiang Linhai's refusal, and he hastily brought up his son's proposal. "Brothers, how about this? We form a team and set off together. This way, we can save fuel, and we can subsidize everyone with our remaining supplies. My daughter can also fly, so we can take turns resting."
Giving them supplies and fuel is like exchanging them for a plane ticket.
The end of the world is coming and no one will be able to survive. Zhuang Chenshen guessed that they didn't have much reserve supplies and should be tempted.
By taking turns flying the helicopter, Jiang Si can get enough rest.
Jiang Linhai hesitated after hearing the last sentence. He glanced at Zhuang Chenshen and his son, who were very confident, and said, "Wait a moment, let's go discuss it."
Jiang Si listened to their conversation in the helicopter. As soon as Jiang Linhai got on, she shook her head and said, "Goodbye. I can sleep deeply for one or two hours, and then I can last for 20 to 30 hours. I can even fly a helicopter across the Arctic Ocean. I don't need anyone to fly it."
"Besides, they are subsidizing supplies, but it's unclear who is subsidizing whom."
When Jiang Si took out the helicopter, he stuffed it with all kinds of supplies, which was equivalent to a small flying house, and there was no need for their small supplies at all.
