Just do it!
"Okay! Since everyone has no objection to Hua Zi's proposal, let's take action immediately. What about Hua Zi, Brother Huo, Da Zhuang, the four of us are leaving now."
Except for Tang Xiaoquan, Hu Xiaodong raised his hand to point out the people who acted yesterday.
"I haven't seen the store you mentioned, Hua Zi. How about it? Is it far from here? Do I need to drive?" Wei Dazhuang asked as he packed his things.
Huabiao shook his head: "It's not far! It only takes about 5 minutes to walk."
"Okay, let's walk there."
"No!" After Wei Dazhuang finished speaking, Hua Biao waved his hand immediately.
"Why, you have to drive the entire car over a 5-minute journey? You don't mind wasting gas."
Hua Biao grinned when he heard this, thinking that the man in front of him really knew how to live a good life: "How much gas does a 5-minute journey cost? Besides, I said driving is naturally necessary."
"Need!? What do you need?"
"Haha, since we have gone to the car shop, we can't go in vain, right? Before, Ronaldinho and Zhongyu complained in private that our station had too few car maintenance supplies, so if we don't make it this time, we can give them some repairs. Bring back some engine oil and stuff."
Patting his head, Wei Dazhuang responded with a stunned "Yes".
"It's hard work for a few brothers at home to keep an eye on me!"
"Brother Hu, you must pay attention to safety on the road!"
After saying good things to each other, Hu Xiaodong led the team members downstairs.
After boarding the van, we drove all the way towards the target car shop.
Due to the previous rainy and snowy weather, Hu Xiaodong and other members of the outdoor team had plenty of time. After a week of boring waiting, they also used this free time to rearrange the loads of several vehicles.
After all, in view of the urgent situation at that time, materials and equipment were discarded and placed randomly. This obviously did not make good use of the space in the car, resulting in a lot of waste.
At first, no one thought much about the use of freeing up space, but now it seems that it has really done something big.
Because whether it’s to buy cars now or to save people in the future. All require the car to have enough space to carry it.
If the car's body was still in the same condition as when we left, I'm afraid nothing could be done.
During the 5-minute walk, we only talked for about 1 minute while driving, and the engine didn't even fully warm up. Just turn off the engine and park when you reach the destination.
There were no zombies, and the whole street was still extremely quiet.
From this, we can see how thrilling the chase and escape battle that Thunder Tong and Xu Renjie engaged in must have been, and it would not have been so "depressing" if it had not been close to the street.
"Company Commander! Xiao Hu and the others are out again!"
"What? You went out again?" Lei Tong's report was heard. Xu Renjie, who was sitting upright on a chair and sipping porridge, raised his head in surprise.
My thought is: haven’t the preliminary preparations been completed, and haven’t the audio source equipment been taken care of? Why are you still going out?
"How many of them are out?"
"Four? Except for Xiao Tang, they are still the same team that installed the equipment yesterday."
It's still the same horse from the original team... According to what I said, what they have to do is not easy.
Muttering to himself, Lei Tong saw Xu Renjie bowing his head in thought and couldn't help but said: "Company Commander, would you like to contact the other end and ask Xiao Hu what they are going to do."
"Well, it's very necessary!"
Taking out his mobile phone, Xu Renjie immediately wrote a text message and sent it to the other party.
Soon he received a reply: "A heavy rain is coming. We are worried that the freezing rain will affect subsequent tasks. Brother Hu and the others are going to a nearby car supply store to buy anti-skid chains and some vehicle maintenance products on the way. No need to worry."
After reading the message Duan Chengwu sent back, Xu Renjie let out a sigh of relief.
Then he stood up and walked to the window, looking through the gap at the drizzle that was still falling outside.
The rain at this time was completely less powerful than last night, but Lao Xu knew that it was this cotton-like drizzle that was more likely to form ice on the ground.
Hey, God, why do you bother us like this?
God's will cannot be violated, Xu Renjie looked solemn.
But compared to Lao Xu's worries, the five-person action team a few blocks away from him was proceeding quite smoothly.
There is only one zombie working as a receptionist in the car shop. After killing the zombies, Hu Xiaodong took on the role of guard by himself, while others entered the house to collect supplies.
Huazi is a skilled driver, although he is not a professional driver. But I still know a lot about related car products.
Wei Dazhuang and Huo Yuankai are also people who know how to drive, so they naturally know how to maintain their cars.
In terms of scale alone, the size of a car shop is really nothing.
But as the saying goes, although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs, and the car shop is not big. But there are quite a few items inside.
Without much effort, Huabiao was the first to find the target item needed for this trip: anti-skid chains.
In view of the changing bad weather, and in line with the principle of needing to use them at any time in the future, Huabang bought no less than 20 anti-skid chains, and basically emptied all the inventory in the store.
As for Wei Dazhuang and Huo Yuankai, they were not idle either. They looked like they were shopping at a self-selected market, looking for engine oil, antifreeze, brake fluid, engine filters, gasoline filters, and fuel filters;
Just take all the ones you know, even the ones you don't know, and take the ones you think are reliable and useful.
Anyway, they are all free goods that cost no money. If you don’t take them, you won’t get them for free.
Seeing that the space in the car is getting smaller and smaller, I consider that I have to pick up and drop off people next.
Hu Xiaodong stopped everyone's sweep at the right time: "Okay, seniors, it's almost time, we should withdraw."
Without zombies, Wei Dazhuang was naturally too lazy to stay where he was. As for Huo Yuankai and Hua Biao, let alone Huo Yuankai.
Several people immediately followed Hu Xiaodong's instructions, boarded the car one after another, and then returned to the station.
The entire search operation was carried out very quickly, and the mission was completed in just 20 minutes.
As for the harvest, although it is not very rich due to the space limitations of the car body.
However, car maintenance is not something that consumes a lot of money. In addition, the survivors are not driving luxury cars. The car body itself is very durable, so there is no need for too many "maintenance products" at all.
"Brother Hu, have you got the stuff?"
As soon as the outgoing team entered the house, Tang Xiaoquan was the first to ask questions.
Before Hu Xiaodong could answer, Huabiao unloaded his equipment and nodded and said, "We're still alive. The car shop has what we need."
"Then let's install them now." Wang Qiang immediately suggested.
But after some deliberation, Hu Xiaodong still rejected the young man's proposal.
"No, I don't think so for the time being."
"Why!?" Wei Dazhuang asked in confusion.
"Let's see how the weather changes first. If it clears up and the snow melts, then adding the anti-skid chains will affect the speed of the car."
"It makes sense. Anyway, we have the chain in hand and we don't have to worry about it for a while. If the momentum really goes wrong, we can add more to the car at any time. On the contrary, we have it now. If the situation changes, it will be self-defeating." (To be continued.) )
