The gas station is indeed quiet and eerie, but if you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't catch the tiger's cubs. In the apocalypse, if you want to obtain resources, you must face unknown dangers.
"Stop!" Lao Xu waved his hand to signal Luo Baochun to stop.
As Luo Baochun put down the foot brake, Lao Xu jumped out of the car first.
Boom, boom, boom, tap the rear compartment door three times, and then the door opens from the inside.
Hu Xiaodong, Wei Dazhuang and other team members jumped out one after another.
The team members of "See the Sun Again" were almost all greedily sucking the fresh air.
There was no way, even though Wang Zhongyu opened a ventilation window in the back compartment, the smell in the compartment was still unbearable due to the squealing of so many people at once.
"Huh, it seems someone has been here." Hu Xiaodong said with a smile when he saw several dead bodies lying around the gas station.
Hearing this, Hua Biao stepped forward, took a look at the body, and then stood up: "There is a hole in the head. He was shot to death."
"This is the same! This guy's forehead was also opened!" Lei Tong also exclaimed.
Listening to the reminders from the two brothers, Lao Xu couldn't help but frown.
"Could it be them??" Tang Xiaoquan came over at some point.
Lao Xu glanced back at the young man, and it was obvious that the other person's words hit his heart.
That's right, Lao Xu noticed something strange here since he entered the gas station.
First, there is no zombie activity, which is highly uncharacteristic for this particular location of a gas station.
You know, there are many vehicles coming and going at the gas station every day. When the apocalypse breaks out, this place will not be said to be the hardest hit area, but there will definitely be beasts talking about mutated zombies.
Secondly, there were several bullet casings scattered on the ground.
If these shell casings were stored abroad, it might not be a big deal.
But in a place like China where guns are strictly controlled, it means two words: danger! !
As the saying goes, under the apocalypse. People's hearts are unpredictable, and originally kind people, driven by the cruel laws of the jungle, may release the darkness in their hearts.
And let these will not be firm. In order to survive, humans will do whatever it takes to obtain the Q branch, and the consequences can be imagined.
Therefore, Lao Xu had to be more vigilant about the several dead bodies.
It would be okay if these dead bodies were originally killed in zombie form.
Just be afraid, they were human beings when they were alive. If you were killed just because you came here to get oil, then...
Ignoring Tang Xiaoquan's reasoning, Lao Xu directly gave the order: "Xiao Luo stays in the car and keeps the vehicle running. Huabiao, Lei Zi, you two guard the road! Xiao Hu, Da Zhuang, you two keep your eyes on the front. Qiangzi, Xiao Tang, you two Come get some oil with me.”
The order was given and the survivors took action immediately.
However, Luo Baochun said something troublesome: "Well, this. I have an urgent need to urinate. Can I go to the toilet?"
Old Xu could not refuse Luo Baochun's proposal. After all, people have three urgent needs, which cannot be controlled.
Besides, after traveling a long distance, who doesn’t have time to urinate in a hurry?
But in view of the current tense situation, Lao Xu ordered: "Solve it on the spot!"
No one knows whether there is a murder hidden in the toilet. Now Lao Xu just wants to collect fuel and leave the gas station.
He didn't want to send another man to the toilet to find out what was going on, let alone cause further trouble.
Luo Baochun is a veteran of sports cars all year round. Obviously, they are also very adaptable to the "solve on the spot" approach.
Anyway, there are men around, so there is no shame in taking off your pants to pee.
Luo Baochun simply opened his crotch and peed on the tire.
Luo Baochun was in pain and letting go of the essence of his life, and Lao Xu led the king. The two Tang brothers headed towards the fuel tank.
This time they brought all the oil storage equipment that could be used at home.
There was no way, it was not easy to get out. In line with the principle of carrying as much supplies as possible, the survivors could be said to have "given everything they had."
One person was holding two big bows, and Hu Xiaodong's eyes closely followed Lao Xu and others as they moved forward, and the compound bow in his hand was fully drawn.
at the moment. As long as there is any danger to the safety of the three people, he will immediately let go and send the "threat" to the west.
Walking to the oil storage tank, Lao Xu twisted open the lid of the oil tank in his hand, then poked the removed oil gun into the mouth of the tank. After a simple setting, he pulled the trigger, but the result...
The expected injection of fuel did not appear, and Lao Xu looked at the digital indication on the fuel tank and it did not jump.
In desperation, he tried several more times, but the result was the same, and there was still no movement from the oil gun in his hand.
At the same time, Wang Qiang and Tang Xiaoquan also completed their preparations.
Lao Xu subconsciously looked away. When he saw Tang Xiaoquan's expression change, he immediately understood that the other person was probably in the same situation as him.
"Old Xu! There is no oil in this oil tank!" Wang Qiang did not try left and right like Lao Xu or Tang Xiaoquan. After he failed again, he immediately made a concluding statement.
The truth can be so disappointing sometimes, although Lao Xu and Tang Xiaoquan both knew in their hearts that what Wang Qiang said was true. but……
It seems that the oil was taken away by the first one of other teams.
Lao Xu sighed lightly and silently re-tightened the opened lid to the oil tank.
Just as he gave the order to retreat, Tang Xiaoquan came over to speak again.
"Lao Xu, do you think it was that group of people who took away the oil?"
Lao Xu had no idea about the same question. He shook his head: "This...it's hard to say. It may be, it may not be."
"Well, I hope not. Look, Lao Xu, this gas station is only half an hour's drive from that gang's stronghold. If they want to get gas, this is a good place."
If it had been in the past, Lao Xu might have been a little worried after hearing Tang Xiaoquan's reasoning, but now, instead of being worried at all, he hoped that Tang Xiaoquan's speculation would come true.
Why, you ask? In fact, the reason is very simple!
You must know that Luo Baochun had said before that he and Wen Quanxin met by chance on the way to get oil.
And the place where Luo and Wen met was over there in the villa.
Therefore, even if the prisoners really ransacked this gas station, it should have been a long time ago, otherwise Luo Baochun would have no reason to leave a gas station so close and go to the villa to do things.
"No matter who they are, let's get out of here first." Due to Luo Baochun's identity, Lao Xu could not tell the truth.
It was precisely because of this that he became more aware of the dangers here.
After all, gun-toting thugs are obviously more worrying than mindless, bloodthirsty zombies.
Without oil, the survivor team loses the meaning of staying here.
So when Lao Xu gave the order, everyone immediately retreated to the car in an orderly manner.
Fortunately, although the oil operation ended in failure, there was no loss to the survivor team because it was done along the way.
After getting in the car, the survivors continued to drive toward the city.
Everyone believes that as long as they reach the urban area, all material supply needs can be solved. (To be continued.)
