doomed [last days]

"Exchange oil for water?" Hearing Lin Shen's words, Anlu was surprised. She stared at Lin Shen with wide eyes and asked, "Oil, oil should be more expensive than water, right?"

"At this time, no matter how much money you have, it's useless."

This symbol has lost its meaning in the last days.

After Lin Shen finished speaking, he looked at Anlu thoughtfully, and didn't say anything more. Instead, he opened the car door, got into the off-road vehicle, and discussed with Shi Yiran.

"Change the water? Yes," Shi Yiran said after listening to Lin Shen's words, "When buying a car, I consulted a person who knows cars, and he recommended this car to me, which has low fuel consumption and a large fuel tank. It is said that if you run at high speed, you can run 900 kilometers on a tank of fuel."

Her off-road vehicle is the fourth-generation SUV produced by Tuyue.When she bought the car, she thought that Lin Shen would be very happy to see this car with such a good performance.

Unexpectedly, the naive extravagant hope at that time has now become a reality.

Her upbeat tone made Lin Shen bend his lips: "Well, I looked at the map yesterday, and if we go to Hongchi, it will take about [-] kilometers, a tank of gas, and the two big barrels Ah Guang gave us. Oil should be enough."

Although she hasn't figured out the economical speed of Shi Yiran's off-road vehicle, no matter which section of the road she takes now, it must be smooth and unimpeded. It is probably stable at [-] mph, which should save fuel.

"If it's not enough, we can look for it again." Shi Yiran added, "Driving along the road, there are many gas stations on the side of the road. When we pass by the gas station, we will stop and take a look. Even if there is still gas in the car, we can Pour it into a barrel."

"You're right, then I'll go change the water with her, wait for me a little longer, and we'll leave."

When Lin Shen got off the off-road vehicle, An Lu was leaning against her pickup truck, staring at the ground, wondering what she was thinking.

Hearing the sound, Anlu raised his head and said, "Are you sure you want to change the water with me?"

No matter what she thinks, she feels that Lin Shen and the others are losing money by exchanging oil for water.Regardless of the value measured by money, oil is more precious than water in these last days.

"Sure," Lin Shen nodded without hesitation, then suddenly thought of something, and said, "I forgot just now, I have to check first, whether your pickup is burning diesel or gasoline."

After she finished speaking, she walked over and listened carefully. After she had a rough idea in her mind, she walked to the back of the car, smelling the pungent exhaust, and confirmed her psychological judgment.

"Your car is a diesel car just like ours." Lin Shen paused, "So, do you want to make this deal?"

Anlu took a baseball bat and drew a line on the ground as if he was bored, then he hesitated and said: "It's okay... Actually, I gave you that box of water as a reward for car repairs. .”

After she finished speaking, she went around to the co-pilot, took down the box of mineral water, and placed it in front of Lin Shen.

"Help me add some oil, this tank of water is all for you."

Lin Shen looked at the box of mineral water at his feet, and said in his heart that he was not surprised that it was fake.At this time when everyone is selfish in order to survive, being able to take out a box of water shows how strong Anlu's "family property" really is.

It's just that she and Shi Yiran are not people who like to take advantage. Lin Shen hesitated for a while before asking, "Are you sure you'll give us a box of water? Don't you need to drink water yourself?"

"I still have a lot."

Seeing Anlu's indifference, Lin Shen was silent.

She walked to the back of the off-road vehicle, opened the trunk, took out a bucket of oil, and then said, "I'm sure you won't give all of this bucket of oil to you. You have to think about it."

The white plastic chemical barrel in Lin Shen's hand was huge.

An Lu glanced at the number protruding from the side, 15L.

"I know, just watch and add it to me."

Hearing what she said, Lin Shen didn't say anything more.She took the refueling funnel she had brought from Ah Guang, and walked to the pickup with the oil can.

After Anlu turned off the engine and opened the fuel tank cap of the pickup truck, Lin Shen inserted the funnel in. She thought for a while, picked up the oil drum, and estimated that about 7 liters of oil had been poured into it. After putting down the oil drum, the water level revealed Exactly half way down the plastic bucket.

"Pickup trucks basically consume 10L of fuel per [-] kilometers. I'll add this to you, which should be enough for you to drive to the gas station." Lin Shen put the oil barrel back into the trunk of the off-road vehicle, closed the cover, He said again: "You'd better get ready and drive away by yourself. If you go to stop the car on the highway, the one you stop may not be a good person."

"Okay," Anlu replied, picking up the mineral water on the ground, "You open the back door, and I'll put it in the back seat for you."

Lin Shen didn't say much, just opened the car door, tidied up the quilt at the back, took the water box, and put it on the back seat.

After closing the door, Lin Shen glanced at An Lu who was standing aside with a baseball bat, thought for a while, and said, "I suggest you go to the gas station first, and then come back to get your stuff."

"Why?"

Hearing her words, Lin Shen raised his hand helplessly to press the center of his eyebrows, and explained patiently: "It is said that the fuel consumption of a light vehicle is also related to the weight of the vehicle, which means that the heavier the weight, the greater the fuel consumption."

Lin Shen thought, if Anlu dared to run to the side of the road to stop the car, she must have hidden the supplies hoarded in this factory.In this case, it is not impossible to drive the car to fill up some gas and come back.

Seeing that Anlu agreed, she got into the pickup truck again, started the car and tried it, but found no more problems, then got out of the pickup truck, explained a few words to Anlu, and sat back in the driver's seat of the off-road vehicle .

The windows on both sides were lowered, and Anlu stood aside, watching Lin Shen skillfully start and turn around.Shi Yiran, who was sitting in the passenger seat, took off his sunglasses and said something to Lin Shen.

Only then did Anlu realize that Shi Yiran's eyes were a little unusual.

Her eyes seemed to have no focus at all, as if she had lost her spirit.

However, when Lin Shen yelled, signaling to leave, Anlu stepped over and asked, "Where do you want to go?"

She was standing on the side of the co-pilot. After Shi Yiran heard the voice, she turned around and looked over. She could only see a vague figure, and she couldn't even tell whether she had braided hair or not.

"Go to the north," Shi Yiran smiled, "If there is a destiny, see you later. Come on, little girl."

After she finished speaking, Lin Shen, who was holding the steering wheel, also frowned at An Lu.

When the sound of the car sounded, Anlu just stood there watching the off-road vehicle drive farther and farther in a cloud of dust, turned a corner, and disappeared in front of her eyes.

----

As a person who has been wandering in the wild all year round, although Lin Shen can't memorize medical knowledge points, he has the ability to remember roads.

When driving back to the main road, she looked at the road signs, and while looking for the entrance of the expressway, she asked, "Did you call me a little girl just now?"

"19 years old, isn't she still a little girl?" Shi Yiran said with a smile in her voice.

She could hear the meaning of Lin Shen's words, but she still wanted to tease her.Seeing the person she likes jealous, she herself is also happy.The satisfaction in her heart has been clamoring all the time, telling her that the other party cares.

Although he has never been in a relationship before, Lin Shen reads a lot of idle books.The corner of her mouth was raised up, but she also followed Shi Yiran's meaning and followed her way.

"I am, I should be your little girl too?"

After saying this, Lin Shen couldn't keep his expression on. It's just that Shi Yiran couldn't see clearly, and she could do whatever she wanted.

When Shi Yiran heard Lin Shen talking about herself, she half opened her mouth in surprise, but when she heard the last sentence, she focused on those two words.

She is more than five months older than Lin Shen, and Lin Shen is indeed her little girl.

"That's right..." She said softly with red ears and lowered eyes.

Lin Shen's heart was pounding, but he stretched out his right hand and grabbed Shi Yiran's hand on his lap.After a while, she was held backwards, and cool fingers squeezed into her fingers, like entwined ivy.

She held the steering wheel with one hand, calmed her heartbeat, and sped away looking at the road signs.

At the entrance of Yuanliao Expressway, Lin Shen parked his car on the side of the road.It was already noon, and she was going to have lunch here to replenish her energy before going on the highway.

"In fact, if you don't sleep and rest, you can drive to Hongchi in more than ten hours."

Lin Shen took a bite of the bread in his hand and muttered.

"Take a drink and talk."

Shi Yiran also held an identical piece of bread in her hand, and hearing Lin Shen's voice, hurriedly urged her to drink water.Now they are not short of water. Although they can't be unscrupulous and frugal, they can still meet their daily needs.

Seeing the blurry figure in front of him looking up, probably drinking water, Shi Yiran stopped urging her.

She was not afraid of anything else, but she was afraid that Lin Shen would wrong herself in order to save money.

"Even if you can drive for more than ten hours in a row, I won't allow it." Shi Yiran finally picked up the words at that moment, and said, "When you pass the service area, take a break and see if you can refuel."

Her tone could not be refuted, Lin Shen only felt warm in his heart when he heard it, and just wanted to reach out to pinch her earlobe, only to realize that he couldn't spare a hand.

She pouted, just as she was about to say something, she caught a glimpse of an uninvited guest in the rearview mirror from the corner of her eye.

"I see, eat slowly, I'm going to drive." Lin Shen screwed on the cap of the mineral water bottle, explained, stuffed the bread in his hand into the bag, and put it in the open armrest box inside.

She checked, and seeing that Shi Yiran was wearing a seat belt, she started the car without stopping, went through the checkpoint, and rushed onto the expressway.

"A zombie just came from behind." She explained while driving.

When Lin Shen suddenly left in a hurry, Shi Yiran thought of this possibility.She gave a "hmm", but turned her head to look at Lin Shen, and asked softly, "Have you finished your bread?"

"Huh? No, I'll put it aside."

Lin Shen raised his hand to wipe the bread crumbs from the corner of his mouth, and then reached out to take the unfinished bread, but met Shi Yiran's hand.

"You concentrate on driving, and I'll feed you."

Shi Yiran took the bread and slowly handed it over.

She couldn't see clearly, but her judgment was much better now than when she was blind.Passing the bread to Lin Shen's mouth, she bit her lip and asked, "Is it not blocking your view?"

"No."

Lin Shen is really a little embarrassed to be fed bread at such a grown-up age.However, the smile in the voice overshadowed everything: "The bread is delicious."

It is a hundred times sweeter than eating it by herself.

With Shi Yiran's hand, Lin Shen ate the piece of bread with relish.When Shi Yiran unscrewed her mineral water bottle and handed it over, Lin Shen seemed to agree with her, raised his hand to take it, took a few sips of water, and handed the mineral water bottle back.

Lin Shen, who was full of food and drink, drove an off-road vehicle and galloped on the highway without any obstacles.Occasionally, she would skip a car that was scrapped on the side of the road, and she just hid by holding the steering wheel.

On the expressway, there will be a service area basically [-] kilometers away.

Lin Shen stabilized his speed at around ninety steps, and arrived at the first service area in a short while.

This is a small service area. There is only one diesel engine and one gasoline engine in the gas station.She squeezed the last of the oil out of the diesel before getting into the car.

"Even if there is only such a little oil left in each service area, there will still be some leftover when we get to Hongchi."

Shi Yiran closed her eyes, nodded after listening to Lin Shen, and said with a smile, "Is Hongchi beautiful?"

This topic should have been carried on last night, when Lin Shen first mentioned Hong Chi.

It's just that she was stunned at the time, thinking about Ah Guang, and was disturbed by Lin Shen's kiss on the cheek like a dragonfly on the water, so when Lin Shen talked about going to Hongchi, she couldn't Get interested.

Now, when Hong Chi was mentioned again, she also had some yearning inexplicably in her heart.

Shi Yiran thought, as long as Lin Shen wants to go, she is willing to follow.

"Hongchi, no matter what season it is, it's beautiful." Lin Shen curled his lips, "The urban area is next to the Liaokang Mountains, and the nearby mountain is called Hongchi Mountain. It's not very tall, but it's beautiful. You will definitely like the ginkgo trees all over the mountains and plains."

"It must be beautiful in autumn."

"Well! At that time, we can still pick ginkgo nuts."

As Lin Shen spoke, there was excitement in her tone. She turned her head and glanced sideways. Seeing Shi Yiran's crooked eyebrows, she silently added something in her heart.

Get well soon.

----

When he arrived at the second service area, Lin Shen looked at the big characters "Yuyang Service Area" on the roof from a distance, and he had a clue in his heart.

"Yuyang," Shi Yiran listened to Lin Shen's nagging, and said, "There should be a lot of things, Yuyang is the provincial capital after all."

"Well, let's go in and take a look."

Lin Shen drove the car and turned in directly at the entrance.

This service area is really big, divided into blocks, and there is even a small hotel in the dining area.The words on it are still firmly stuck on the wall, but the service area is no longer as prosperous as it used to be.

Lin Shen walked directly along the parking lot to the gas station. It was too big, and she couldn't immediately find out if there were zombies around.

"I'll go down and cheer," Lin Shen pulled out her saber from the back seat, and told Shi Yiran, "If you hear the sound, don't get out of the car, I will take care of it."

Shi Yiran nodded, Lin Shen had to say it every time before getting out of the car, it was obviously nagging, but she never tired of listening to it.

"Be careful."

After answering, Lin Shen jumped out of the car with a knife in his hand. Without stopping, he detoured to the opposite side, checked the fuel dispenser, and then opened the fuel tank cap, ready to refuel.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he stuffed the oil gun in, Lin Shen heard a deliberately low voice from a distance.

"Lee Sen!"

Shi Yiran in the car heard it too, her heart tightened, she followed the sound, she could only see a blur, but Lin Shen outside the car could see clearly.

At the window on the second floor of the small hotel, who else is the person poking his head out, if not Jiang Zhaochen?

However, Lin Shen's gaze only had time to stay on him for a few seconds before he saw two zombies with their mouths open and grim expressions under the window.

Her left hand, which was already holding the knife, clenched even tighter.
