The weather was too hot. If the mutated bird's body was not disposed of as soon as possible, it might stink by tomorrow morning. They could not waste time on the road.
With only half the distance left, it was completely dark.
Logically speaking, it is unsafe to drive at night, but this place is very close to the base, and the surrounding area is almost rummaged by supernatural beings. As long as you take the main road, there will be no danger.
Other than encountering a small group of zombies, the rest of the trip went smoothly.
The base door was closed and was opened by Gu Xiaoming.
After entering the base, everyone dispersed.
The mutated bird carcass was too big. Even if half of it was given to Gu Xiaoming, it would be difficult for Jianyue and the others to take it. Gu Xiaoming offered to give it a ride, but what Jianyue didn't expect was that Gu Xiaoming also got in the car.
"Is something wrong?" Jian Yue asked, "You're not worried that I'll give you less meat, are you?"
Gu Xiaoming didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I'm not a stingy person. I have something I want to discuss with you."
It doesn't matter even if Jianyue really gives him less. Killing the mutated bird is almost the result of Jianyue alone.
Without waiting for Jianyue to ask, Gu Xiaoming added: "I heard that you can get gasoline and diesel when you go on a mission? If you can't use it, sell it to the military. The more, the better."
Every time the military goes out on a mission, there are only a few, or even a dozen, trucks, which consume a lot of fuel. The gas stations where gasoline can be obtained have been cleared away. Where there are more zombies left, the death rate is too high. Gu Xiaoming feels that it is not possible. Good deal.
If Jianyue could get gasoline and diesel, he would naturally ask Jianyue. It didn't matter if the quantity was small, just come more often.
Jian Yue was surprised: "How do you know so clearly?"
"Don't get me wrong, I found out by accident. Every time you come back from a mission, it's either gasoline or diesel. Everyone has seen it." Gu Xiaoming explained quickly.
He didn't want Jian Yue to have a problem with them because of a small misunderstanding.
"Okay, I want the crystal core." Jian Yue said.
They currently have no shortage of gasoline and diesel, which they can use to exchange for crystal cores.
When her strength improves, she can even go deep into the city. Then she will have as many supplies as she wants, and she can only make a few more trips.
Anticipating that Jianyue would not refuse, Gu Xiaoming added, "Don't worry, I promise to give you a price that satisfies you. One more thing, the military plans to clear out another county. Are you interested in participating in the operation?"
"I have no problem." Jian Yue agreed.
As long as you give her the crystal core, everything will be easy.
Gu Xiaoming looked at the other three people, especially Tan Qian.
The weather is too hot, how can there not be a water power user in the team?
There are not many water-type users with combat capabilities. The military's water-type users have to provide water to the base and cannot participate in the operation.
Seeing Gu Xiaoming looking at her inquiringly, Tan Qian quickly agreed: "I'll go too."
In her opinion, Gu Xiaoming's willingness to ask her was recognition of her strength, and she had to give her this face.
"There's me, I'll go too." Tan Zhewen said hurriedly.
He was worried about Tan Qian. As an older brother, he had to protect his sister.
Everyone expressed their opinions, and Zheng Yue also said: "I will go too."
Gu Xiaoming nodded slightly: "Don't worry about this. Let's take action together after Captain Zhou recovers. By the way, how is Captain Zhou's recovery?"
Jianyue looked outside: "We're almost home. You can go see it in person and have a late-night snack."
Thinking that Jianyue and the others had watermelons, Gu Xiaoming reluctantly agreed.
This is not because he is shameless, it was Jian Yue who invited him.
At home, both parents were enjoying the cool weather. They were not surprised to see Jian Yue and others coming back. They were used to this elusive rhythm.
