Chapter 171 Is it going well? (13)
Lan Jin's card was just a bare card without any information on it, so she thought that anyone holding this card should be able to go to the Jing City base.
But as I said before, the invitation letter is just an admission ticket. If you don’t have a certain level of strength and can’t provide the corresponding supplies, you won’t be able to enter the next level at all, so it doesn’t matter whether there is a name on the invitation letter or not.
In short, the Beijing base is definitely good in every way, but the base will definitely not keep useless or idle people. You either need to have connections or be capable if you want to go there.
…
The week was long and difficult. Apart from burning charcoal, we also prepared cooked food. During this week, there was also a freezing rain that compacted all the snow floating on the ice.
Lao Gao looked at the ice outside and said speechlessly, "I thought the road had been compacted by cars last time, so we could just wear skates next time. I didn't expect we'd still have to drive."
Lan Jin said, "Then just drive. It's not too far anyway. We've driven so many times before to move supplies."
"I'm just trying to save fuel. I didn't know the car and fuel were yours last time, otherwise I would have been heartbroken."
Lan Jin smiled and said, "There are no traffic lights along the way, so it won't take much fuel to drive back and forth. Besides, I still have some fuel in my space. Didn't you see it? Don't worry about it."
Lao Gao asked curiously, "Sister Lan, how did you get these oils? If you want to buy them, I'm afraid they won't be easy to find." Based on Lao Gao's understanding of Lan Jin, she didn't seem like someone who could buy so much oil before the end of the world.
"I want so much, who would sell it to me? I stole it during the poisonous fog."
Speaking of theft, the memories of these people suddenly went back to a long time ago. They heard the news that the oil in several nearby gas stations had disappeared. The people above had investigated for a long time but could not find any trace. It turned out that all the oil was stolen by Lan Jin.
Lao Gao asked with a twitching mouth: "Sister Lan, how did you steal it?"
"I found an unused phone in advance and downloaded the offline map on it. I have a solar-powered classic car in my space, so I drove it to steal it."
"How do you get out during the poisonous fog?" Lao Gao asked immediately, "What did you use to get out?"
"I prepared a lot of supplies, including protective clothing and gas masks. I didn't have a lot, but they were just enough to use at the time." Speaking of gasoline, "I bought a lot of large oil drums in my space. I had some money at the time, so I thought they'd just sit there anyway, so I bought them all. At first, I didn't think about what I was going to do with them, so I just planned to store them. But then I remembered gasoline, and I used all of it to store it. There was so much gasoline that the drums in my space weren't enough, so I ended up using the same large (garbage) drums we use for vegetables."
Lao Gao rubbed his forehead and asked, "Sister Lan, do you know that cars can emit volatile gases?"
She didn't know, but it didn't matter whether she knew or not. "The space has a fresh-keeping function. Whatever you put in is the same as when you take it out. As long as I don't take it out, it will always be the same as when I took it out."
Well, Lao Gao originally wanted to teach her a lesson, but now he couldn’t do it anymore. Moreover, a very scary idea flashed through the minds of the three of them.
After all, even with the oil gone, there are still supplies for three supermarkets.
Ling Jiang's eyes widened as he asked in disbelief, "Those three supermarkets... weren't they also yours?"
Lan Jin glanced at them, not feeling embarrassed, and nodded, "Yes, I did it. I spent two days running out to steal it."
The three of them gasped. What could they say? Stealing other people's things was definitely wrong. Their values were definitely not right. But, if they were in their place, to be honest, they would also be stealing.
The apocalypse has arrived, and we can't even eat. What's the point of talking about values, character, and other such issues? Do you think we should talk about these things now? People come to rob and kill at the slightest provocation. If you were to talk about these things, that person would have been dead long ago.
How can I describe it? It was still early then, the poisonous fog had just arrived, and we were not sure what would happen next. Lan Jin's actions were too quick.
Lao Gao asked with a meaningful look in his eyes, "Sister Lan, you are hiding something from us. Tell me, since we are in this relationship now, is there anything you cannot say?"
What is our relationship? She couldn't tell them about her rebirth, so she lied and said, "Space, the main reason is that I suddenly had this space."
"The space appeared suddenly, and there must be something abnormal when it appears. We've all read novels before. When a space appears, it's either a time travel or the end of the world. If it's a time travel, it's fine. My tens of millions of assets are enough for me to go anywhere. But after I stocked up on supplies, the time travel didn't start, but the poisonous fog came. I knew without thinking that this must be the end of the world. If it's the end of the world, shouldn't I hurry out to get supplies? Then I set my sights on the nearest supermarket. After all, no one would complain about having too many supplies."
Lan Jin's explanation is actually similar to the last time. It is relatively reasonable. Although she is greedy, who knows what will happen in the future? It is right to worry about things that may happen, just in case.
Ling Jiang nodded and said, "If it were me, I would probably do the same." Not only would she steal from the supermarket, she wouldn't even keep the extra ten percent. So, Lan Jin was kindhearted in her eyes. Now that she thought of the extra ten percent, Ling Jiang felt a little sad. "Why don't you just take the extra ten percent? Why leave it to others?"
Lan Jin couldn't help but want to laugh.
And Lao Shi Gao was speechless: "Is this the problem now?"
But forget it, he wasn't here to settle accounts with Lan Jin, and those supermarkets weren't his. It just seemed like being with Lan Jin always made him feel less dangerous, which made him feel a lot more at ease.
At this moment, Lao Gao couldn't help but look at Huang Jinghe.
Huang Jinghe's mouth twitched as he smiled and said, "Why are you looking at me? Sister Lan did remind me of many things, but nothing else."
To be honest, if Lan Jin hadn't been so worried and asked him to download more novels and reminded him of many things, he might have done a lot of stupid things, and he might not even be here now.
Speaking of which, Lan Jin is really smart.
In fact, it is not the case. She is just more cautious because she has lived longer, and she thinks about some things in advance for some reasons, but her IQ is not that high.
At this moment, Ling Jiang asked curiously: "Did you go out to get things smoothly?"
