Reborn in the end of the world, I scavenged in the empty city and bought for free
Chapter 147 Searching for Crude Oil
The fifth day of the apocalypse.
This is the fifth month that Gu Tongwan has been trapped in the empty city. During this period, he has experienced several anxious moments and even asked the system when the space-time fragments would be repaired, but the reply he got was still to repair them as soon as possible. Gradually, Gu Tongwan's mentality changed from anxiety to despair and then to pessimism. Finally, after several self-emotional adjustments, he successfully accepted the fact that he was very likely to stay here for more than a year.
After the extreme cold, the empty city welcomed a new round of acid rain, which lasted for a whole month. During this month, she tried to reduce the time spent outside as much as possible. She would only wear an acid-proof raincoat and go out when the acid rain was less severe, and she could only choose to walk, so her range of activities had to be controlled within one kilometer.
The intensity of the acid rain this time was much greater than before. The tiles on the first floor had been partially corroded. Gu Tongwan was worried that the glass windows would also be corroded, so he specially found a batch of strong acid-proof ceramic panels that he had purchased previously from the space and remade a simple window. When the rain was a little heavier, it could slightly prevent rainwater from splashing into the room.
It was also because of this acid rain that many mutant beasts began to occupy indoor spaces. At night, one could often hear the sharp squeaking of red-eyed mice, or strange noises made by other creatures. However, with Aoaotutu around, no other mutant animals approached her floor for the time being, but loud noises could often be heard on the first and upper floors.
Compared to the noise upstairs, Aoao and Tuoxiang seemed much calmer. However, after nine o'clock in the evening, the two would always go upstairs to look for food for a while. Although no one knew what they ate, every time they came back, Gu Tongwan would take out spiritual spring water for them to rinse their mouths, and then spray their entire bodies with disinfectant.
The two resisted at first, but when they realized that if they didn't do as Tong Wan asked, she would stop stroking their heads, the two had no choice but to submit.
After more than a month of continuous acid rain, the entire empty city, except for the ground, had suffered unprecedented corrosion of 50% of the buildings. The steel bars originally exposed outside the broken buildings were already covered with rust, and the scrapped cars that were smashed and parked on the side were soaked by the strong acid rain, leaving only an iron frame.
Moreover, three days after the acid rain stopped, an unpleasant smell lingered in the air. Walking on the road, looking at the black floors that looked like they had been corroded and burned, the empty city seemed even more dead and desolate.
In the two months after the acid rain, the temperature remained at a cool 20 degrees. When she traveled later, she traveled by motorcycle, intending to go around the entire Haishi City. But later she found that most of the road conditions were too bad, and the bumpy road surface was impassable. Once she traveled, she had to leave her residence for two or three days, otherwise it would be too fuel-intensive to go back and forth.
Today, all the furniture in the small living quarters was cleaned up, leaving only the tent. The second floor was sprinkled with the crystalline powder that was ground in Xiaoxi Village before, to ensure that this place would not be targeted by mutants or mutant animals.
After getting ready, she sat astride the motorcycle. According to the map, there were three gas stations. The nearest one was five kilometers away, but when she went there before, she found that the gas had been drained out. The second gas station was fifteen kilometers away, but the terrain there was too badly damaged, so she did not go there. The last gas station was fifty kilometers away.
There are more than a few gas stations in Haishi, but the part of Haishi where she is located is not complete, so the distance between each gas station is not close, especially the last two gas stations on the map, the farthest of which is 50 kilometers away. If the road is flat, it will take 30 to 40 minutes to drive 50 kilometers on a motorcycle, but you often have to get off the car and walk on the road, and you also have to climb over various broken buildings, which greatly increases the difficulty of driving.
Before the end of the world, she had only driven electric cars, so it felt interesting to drive this motorcycle worth more than six figures.
At the beginning, I almost couldn't stand up because of the weight of the motorcycle. But after I got used to it, especially when riding on extremely flat roads, the feeling of riding against the wind was so comfortable that I even left the bumps and bumps far behind in the blink of an eye.
It took about three or four minutes for Aoao and Tutu to catch up after waiting for the car to stop. They were still wagging their tails, feeling incredible that the "thing" could get rid of them in the blink of an eye.
The second gas station took less than fifteen minutes to drive the ten kilometers because the road was not damaged too much along the way. Unfortunately, the gas station was severely damaged in the earthquake, and a nearby building of more than ten floors collapsed directly. Coupled with the corrosion caused by the apocalyptic acid rain, there is no crude oil here anymore.
After giving up this point, they drove to a gas station fifty kilometers away. This time, driving along the main road was not so smooth. There were all kinds of tilted broken buildings and raised and broken roads, and motorcycles could not pass through at all. So they had to walk as usual. During the journey, they encountered several mutated giant lizards, which were all repelled by Aoao and Tutu. Just before arriving, a falcon attacked Gu Tongwan, and was then directly repelled by her with a crossbow.
During this period, not only did Aoao Tutu successfully evolve the lightning strike function, but Gu Tongwan also continued to study and practice. Especially during the acid rain period, she had already watched a series of acupuncture teaching videos, as well as various animal and plant illustrations.
She even did not neglect the confrontation training. Even when Aoao and Tutu were not around, she at least had the ability to protect herself. Even if she faced ferocious mutants, she could give herself a chance to escape.
So this time when she was attacked by the mutant falcon, she did not panic. Instead, she swiftly hid in the narrow broken building. Then she waited for the mutant falcon to hover at low altitude, shot its wings with a crossbow, and while it was spinning in the air in pain, she continued to shoot three arrows in succession. The most deadly arrow hit the mutant falcon's neck.
After a few tragic screams were heard in the sky, the mutant falcon, with a wingspan of more than one meter, fell heavily to the ground. After struggling for a few times, it rolled its eyes and died.
They arrived at the last gas station at 2:10 in the afternoon. After seeing the complete gas station in front of him, Gu Tongwan walked forward quickly, pulled out one of the pipes to check, and after smelling the faint smell of gasoline, a slight smile finally appeared on his face.
