My Apocalypse Fortress Vehicle

7. Go to the gas station

Sitting in the cockpit, looking at the footage from the surveillance camera on the control screen, he made sure that there was nothing around the Doomsday Fortress except snow. The temperature outside has dropped to minus sixty degrees, almost the lowest temperature.

The camera on Gu Zhuo's car can withstand the extreme low temperature of more than minus 70 degrees. Although it is still far from the limit, Gu Zhuo still put all the surveillance cameras back in the car just in case.

He pressed a button on the console, and all the cameras slowly lowered and were retracted into the armored compartment of the fortress.

Gu Zhuo wrapped himself in the Huawei down jacket. This down jacket was of a quality that could climb Mount Everest. Putting on his goggles and gloves, he carried two thick quilts behind him. He took a deep breath and thought, and saw the cockpit door slowly opening.

As soon as the car door opened, an extremely cold air flow rushed into the cockpit. The wind seemed to be mixed not with snow, but with a knife. It scratched Gu Zhuo's face fiercely, as if it was about to leave a few bloody marks.

Get out of the car as soon as possible. Don't leave the cold air outside in the cockpit for too long. If the temperature is too low and the electronic equipment in the cockpit freezes, it will be worth the loss!

Seeing Gu Zhuo getting out of the car, Sam immediately stood up from the driver's seat behind him and kept shouting, as if he wanted to get off with him.

"Sam, stay in the car! I won't freeze to death if you get out!"

Gu Zhuo yelled at Sam, and Sam stopped trying to follow him. Then, he quickly got out of the car with two large quilts on his back. After he got off the car, the mechanical stairs were quickly closed and the door was quickly closed.

The snow had accumulated very deep. When Gu Zhuo stepped on the snow, the snow had already reached his calves. He wore a pair of deerskin boots on his feet. These boots were made from Maozi and were particularly cold-resistant. There was a thick piece of deerskin between the soles of the feet and the ground, which greatly prevented the invasion of cold air.

The cold wind mixed with the snow was blowing violently. Although the snow was lighter than the previous few days and no longer covered the entire area like heavy fog, it was still fierce. Gu Zhuo held two large quilts and walked through the snow with difficulty for a while.

He wanted to wrap these two big quilts around the water tank and the fuel tank. The temperature outside was getting lower and lower. Even if he installed heating devices on the water tank and fuel tank, he still had to do something if he was going to sail a boat for ten thousand years. Protective measures.

The snow was too thick, the wind was too strong, and the resistance itself was great. He was also carrying a heavy load. It took Gu Zhuo a lot of effort to reach a distance that was obviously very close. If it were an ordinary person who only sat and never exercised, this journey would have been ruined long ago.

Arriving at the back of the fortress, Gu Zhuo found that he was completely sparse: there were piles of snow on both sides of the bottom of the car, and he didn't bring a shovel. He had no choice but to bite the bullet. Gu Zhuo tightened his gloves and began to manually dig out the snow piled on both sides of the car.

After digging out the snow for a while, there was finally a place where Gu Zhuo could barely get in and wrap two quilts around the water tank and the fuel tank.

The goggles were already covered with snow particles and were blurry. It was so white that nothing could be seen clearly. Gu Zhuo took off his goggles, put them into the pocket of his down jacket, took a breath of hot air, and dove under the car.

Drilling down, he saw various pipes protected by layers of steel bars, as well as fuel and water tanks. Gu Zhuo took off the quilt and carefully wrapped them up.

I have to say that the heating device is really powerful. At an ultra-low temperature of minus 60 degrees, these tubes still have the slightest trace of hot air. After Gu Zhuo wrapped both quilts up and sealed them with tape to make sure they were completely tight, he struggled to get out from under the car.

Now he had to hurry back to the fortress, so he stayed outside for a while. After taking off his goggles, his eyelashes and eyebrows were all covered with snow, making him look like a white-browed Taoist with an immortal air.

Fengfenghuohuo returned to the fortress. As soon as his front feet stepped into the cockpit, Sam rushed up to him, sticking out his tongue and looking very worried about him.

After touching Sam's head, Gu Zhuo sighed that he was lucky to have a dog. Although he didn't long to be close to humans, in the past few days in the white ice and snow, Sam had given him a lot of company, which made him feel less lonely.

After wrapping the water and fuel tanks in quilts, Gu Zhuo hugged Sam and returned to the living cabin.

He knew the importance of oil and knew he had to find a gas station. But he stayed where he was for four or five days.

It's not because he's lazy, it's mainly because he has a lot of considerations of his own.

Before the doomsday came, he had downloaded an extremely detailed offline map and could clearly know where the gas stations were nearby. But after the doomsday happened, there was no signal, and even the satellite navigation became invalid. If he wants to find a gas station based on a map, he must rely on nearby landmarks.

But the troublesome thing is that the heavy snow that has not stopped for days has completely hidden the landmarks, which makes it more difficult for him to find the gas station.

In addition, the area where his car is currently parked is considered deserted, so he does not know the condition of other people in the city.

There is such heavy snow, there is no signal, and most people do not have food reserves. If the people above do not care, it will be difficult to maintain order by the police alone. If there are brave people, they will definitely come out to rob supermarkets and plunder supplies.

His doomsday fortress is so conspicuous, and now it is on the streets, it will undoubtedly become a walking granary in the eyes of those people. In order to rob his doomsday fortress, there is no telling what those people will do. In the apocalypse, what is as terrifying as the extreme environment and dangerous monsters are the sinister human hearts.

Although his doomsday fortress has a strong enough defense mechanism and two air cannons, he never dares to take this risk.

For various reasons, Gu Zhuo decided to stay where he was for a few more days. When he could get some information from the hand-cranked radio, or when he felt the time was right, he would activate the Doomsday Fortress to look for a gas station.

Thinking of this, Gu Zhuo took off his down jacket and deerskin boots, put on home clothes, took out some vegetables from the refrigerator, and made something simple to eat.

Eat these perishable foods first. The less perishable ones will be fine if you keep them longer anyway. Gu Zhuo's cooking skills are really not good. Although he is used to eating, he still regrets it occasionally. He should have learned to cook before.

After his own meal was ready, Gu Zhuo poured dog food for Sam and added a sausage.

One person and one dog sat on the sofa together, and Gu Zhuo heated up a cup of coffee. The air conditioner hummed in a low voice. Gu Zhuo opened the steel privacy panel in front of the living room window, and a gray snow scene immediately appeared in front of his eyes.

He sat back in his seat and turned on the TV. There were many movies and TV shows that he had downloaded long ago, as well as various TV series.

He chose a Captain America version of "Snowpiercer" as his dinner drama.

It was freezing and snowy outside, with a low temperature of minus 60 degrees Celsius. He was alone and with a dog in the fortress of doom, and there were movies and hot meals. Gu Zhuo took a sip of coffee and couldn't help but sigh. Fortunately, there was a "mechanic", otherwise he would have been unprepared and might have frozen to death in such weather.

I don’t know what it’s like for Cat-eating Fish and the other people in the “Tomorrow’s Battle” group chat. They may be the same as me now, or they may be having a very bad life. It is more likely that they did not survive this final winter...

Forget it, Gu Zhuo shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

At the end of "Snowpiercer", the carriage exploded and the avalanche overturned the entire second half of the carriage, and the train slowly stopped in the middle of the snow. An Asian woman and a black child got out of the carriage, and a pure white polar bear stared at them. The entire two-hour movie ends here.

Gu Zhuo also drank the last sip of coffee, put away the cup and bowl, and threw them into the dishwasher. He was originally going to play games for a while, but his eyes stopped on the hand-cranked radio beside him.

With the mentality of giving it a try, Gu Zhuo picked up the hand-crank radio again and kept shaking the handle.

At first, there was still only the "sizzling" sound of electricity. After shaking it for a while, the hand-cranked radio suddenly came from the voice of a man talking intermittently.

"Damn it, I actually heard the sound!"

Hearing a sound coming from the hand-cranked radio, Gu Zhuo worked harder and shook the handle while listening carefully to what the voice on the radio said.

The sound was intermittent, mixed with "crack-crack" currents, and Gu Zhuo felt very uncomfortable listening to it. However, he could distinguish some sentences from it.

Even if it is mixed with electric current, you can still hear the vicissitudes of the man's voice on the radio:

"Everyone...heavy snow...for several days...be careful...in the next half month...the government is also thinking of ways...please...panic..."

"..."

Gu Zhuo listened for a long time before he understood what he was talking about. The whole article was just some official rhetoric. Let the people not panic and protect themselves at home. The government will find a way, but now is a critical period and cannot send additional troops and so on.

"Grandma, there's just no way to save people!" Gu Zhuo complained in his heart.

At the same time, an even more desperate news was announced on the radio, that is, there will be various chaotic celestial phenomena for a long time to come. After the heavy snow, there may be a long drought or a long flood...

In short, people have to find their own ways to deal with it.

After the bad news was announced on the radio, it started again from the beginning. Gu Zhuo knew that there was no point in continuing to listen, so he stopped shaking the rocker.

It has reached this time, and the people above have no reason to hide the situation. In other words, what they will face after the heavy snow is more and more difficult tests.

Gu Zhuo secretly clenched his fists:

There is no time to wait, you must go to the gas station immediately! We don’t know how many people in the city will listen to the radio. If we wait for more people to hear this news and know that they have been abandoned by the government, the situation will only become more chaotic.

It will be even more difficult to ensure the safety of getting off the car, let alone stocking up on petroleum!
