How many kilometers away is the last intersection? Acheng was really dumbfounded by Zhao Yunhai's question.

He just drives a car, oh no! To be precise, even driving is a soy sauce role.

And along the way, with his poor skills, he focused almost all his attention on dealing with the bad conditions that might appear on the road at any time, without paying attention to things like intersections.

However, due to Zhao Yunhai's solemn expression, Acheng still reluctantly responded: "About 10 kilometers? Maybe 20? Or maybe..."

"Okay! I understand!" He raised his hand to interrupt Acheng's continued words. Zhao Yunhai had already noticed that he was talking nonsense, so he turned to Tang Xiaoquan, who had been waiting for a long time, and said seriously: "According to the road instructions ahead. According to the sign of the brand, I estimate that there is a highway exit 20-30 kilometers behind us. If we go down from there, we can enter the "WH" city. However, since Xiao Du cannot provide relevant information, I cannot guarantee that the estimate will be accurate. It must be accurate.”

Nodding subconsciously, Tang Xiaoquan already got the answer he wanted.

"20-30 kilometers... WH City!" Although it is far from the original plan, it seems that there is no other way but to go to WH City.

Tang Xiaoquan was still making plans, but just as he was hesitating, Zhao Yunhai added: "Actually, you don't have to take the expressway to go to FX County in the northern suburbs. We can also take the national highway, or go from WH City Bypass this blocked road section and go up from another entrance!"

"That's right!" With a flash in his eyes, Tang Xiaoquan gave a secret shout while clapping his fists and palms together.

I am really stubborn. One road is blocked, so there is another way!

Seemingly seeing the young man's joy, Zhao Yunhai reminded with concern: "Theoretically, there is no problem if we go this way, but we are worried about fuel..."

Although I don’t want to dampen the confidence of young people, the actual situation is...

"My car consumes a lot of fuel, and the original capacity is 7 people. Now we are overloaded, so... I want to rely on the oil in the tank to get to FX County. Frankly speaking, haha..." Zhao Yun shook his head with a wry smile. Hai showed a helpless expression.

"Then, then~" Tang Xiaoquan obviously didn't want to give up. He turned his eyes slightly and suddenly thought of the abandoned vehicles in front of him. He had an idea and raised his finger and said, "Then is it possible for us to get the oil in those cars into our car?" superior?"

Recalling a scene often seen in past apocalyptic dramas, survivors would often use a slender pipe to suck out the remaining gasoline in the fuel tank of an abandoned vehicle. Thinking of this, Tang Xiaoquan felt that they could do it now. Follow the same rules.

After all, it would be a shame to not use so many free resources!

"Haha," after hearing the young man's thoughts, Zhao Yunhai couldn't help but chuckle. He raised his eyes and looked into the distance, then turned to look at Tang Xiaoquan, and then said in a calm tone: "What you want to say is Siphon method, this method was indeed used a lot in our time, but now..."

Shaking his head with a wry smile again, Zhao Yunhai shrugged his shoulders and said regretfully: "Nowadays, for safety reasons, car manufacturers have installed filters in the fuel tanks, or adopted U-shaped tube designs, so the original That method of extracting oil is no longer advisable!"

"Ah!" Obviously he did not expect the other party to give such a reply. Tang Xiaoquan was disappointed, but also annoyed that the unscrupulous screenwriters set bugs in the film.

"Then, is there no other way?"

Facing the young man's questioning, Zhao Yunhai wanted to give even a hint of useful advice, but unfortunately, he was not a car mechanic. Although he did know some methods of oil extraction, it was only based on what he had heard and seen. He didn't have any actual practical experience based on what he heard, so...

Spreading his hands helplessly, Zhao Yunhai said frankly: "Sorry, Xiao Tang, I think we may have to be prepared to spend the night in the car!"

He let out a breath of extreme disappointment, but after letting out this breath, Tang Xiaoquan immediately returned to his thoughts.

Never be troubled by negative emotions, because no matter how difficult the difficulty is, as long as you think about it and don't give up, there will eventually be a solution.

So……

After carefully sorting out the current situation in his mind, Tang Xiaoquan thought:

First of all, staying overnight in the car is indeed a feasible method, but he is unwilling to do it unless it is a last resort. After all, eight people are sleeping in a Buick GL8. Even though the space in the car is not small, it is still too crowded.

Secondly, driving to WH City, it is still unknown whether we can find a suitable shelter before midnight, and the fuel is very tight right now, and every time we use it, we will lose it, so the original trip to FX County can only be put on hold temporarily. At least until adequate fuel supplies are found.

Finally, the lack of supplies on our own side, coupled with another expansion of personnel, made the supply of supplies urgent.

so……

Taking everything into account, Tang Xiaoquan called everyone together and immediately held a brief briefing meeting.

"Uncle Zhao and I discussed it just now. At present, we are like this..." First, he explained the difficulties and realities currently faced by the team to everyone, and then Tang Xiaoquan then gave his own advice. Comments and Action Plan:

"I think with the current fuel situation we have, it is necessary to go to WH City. In addition, I looked at the cars in front of me. They should be driven by people who fled when the crisis broke out, so the interior of the car must be I carry a lot of daily necessities. In this way,"

With a tap of his finger, Tang Xiaoquan assigned tasks and said: "Qiangzi, I, Wu Chao, Xiao Wen, Acheng, the five of us will go to the car later to collect supplies; Brother Hu, please stand on the roof of the car and look out, if you find any If there is any abnormality, notify us immediately. Uncle Zhao, you have to turn the car around so that we can leave in time; Weiyang, you are responsible for dealing with emergencies. As for the rest, if you have any opinions, please tell us!"

As expected, there was silence. Everyone glanced at each other subconsciously, and then nodded in unison, which was regarded as unanimous approval of the young man's proposal.

After everything was arranged, "Wei Yang", the team's medical staff, quickly took out 2 bottles of mineral water and handed them to everyone, and urged them to replenish their fluids one by one.

After all, during this sweltering drive, everyone's body fluid loss was quite serious. If they were not replenished in time, there was no guarantee that there would be no accidents during the search under the scorching sun.

The water is drunk and the preparations of all the operators are completed, so what happens next...

"Let's go!" With Wang Qiang's sharp shout, the survivors' search plan finally began...
