Chapter 229 This is unscientific
The convoy bypassed Bishkek far away and did not stop near the city at all.
Zhao Qiang was right. Gao Yuan and the others met zombies three times along the way, but they were all scattered zombies. The cars didn't even stop, and the truck just hit them in front.
Late at night, the motorcade stopped near a lonely gas station.
Walking along the Alatau Mountains, although it is not an uninhabited land, the density of villages is still incomparable to that in China. It is not an uninhabited area, but the population is still sparse. After leaving the villages near Bishkek, it is relatively
After getting to a denser area, it would take dozens of kilometers to reach a village.
At this time, I encountered a gas station on the roadside. I definitely had to stop and take a rest. The most important thing was to see if there was any diesel in the tank.
As usual, it was a high-distance investigation, and the result was destined. There was no one in the gas station.
The building is very complete, and it is a simple gas station that sells some small commodities and so on, but there is nothing left. There are still a few abandoned cars next to the gas station.
After the car parked and everyone got out of the car, everyone's feet were a little wobbly.
"Let's all rest here for a night and recuperate our spirits. Liu Deguang, please follow me and see if there is still oil in the oil tank."
I don’t know why, but after experiencing a small incident in Amatu, Zhao Qiang stopped giving orders. Although there was nothing important, it used to be Zhao Qiang who told everyone to do whatever they should do. But now, he
Just like a normal person, he didn't say a word.
If Zhao Qiang doesn't care about things, Gao Yuan will naturally take care of them, although Gao Yuan is actually quite uncomfortable with it.
Liu Deguang wandered to the open space behind the gas station, where there were two large oil tanks. Logically speaking, the oil tanks must be buried underground, but no one here cared about this, and the large oil tanks were directly planted there.
On the open ground.
When he walked to the iron tank, Liu Deguang reached out and patted it. Then he walked to another oil tank and patted it. He immediately said with great joy: "There is oil, please quickly take down all the empty barrels. There is also an oil pump. Put the empty oil barrels out."
All filled.”
"Diesel or gasoline?"
"diesel fuel."
After saying something to Gao Yuan, Liu Deguang said with a happy face: "This is great. We only have twelve barrels of fuel left. This time we will make up for it all at once. Captain, we have traveled thousands of kilometers. I have
Maintain both cars."
The most important thing in the supply was diesel. If the car ran out of gas, they would have to find fuel from parked cars. They planned to collect diesel from the broken down truck's fuel tank starting tomorrow, but they didn't expect to encounter a problem here.
A full tank of diesel arrived.
"Maintenance now?"
"Well, let's do some simple maintenance now. Change the engine oil and the third filter. Two hours is enough for both cars. Do the maintenance at night. It won't affect the use tomorrow."
They were all very tired, but Liu Deguang still had to maintain the car before going to bed. Gao Yuan couldn't help but said worriedly: "Aren't you tired? How about maintenance tomorrow?"
Liu Deguang smiled and said: "What a tired thing it is. It's okay. No one needs to help me. I can do it alone."
The empty oil drum was brought over. If there is oil, it must be filled up first. Don't tell me to rest and wait until tomorrow to refill it. Anyone who dares to say this now will be despised to death.
The oil dispenser must be out of service. Liu Chunxiao climbed up the oil tank, opened the lid, and put the oil pump in.
"Remember, don't lower the oil pump to the bottom to avoid sediment at the bottom of the oil tank and turn on the electricity."
The helper turned on the power and used the power supply on the truck's battery to provide power, and the small oil pump began to work.
Liu Deguang was carrying a headlamp and a pipe for pumping oil. When the diesel oil spurted out of the pipe, he did not directly use the oil barrel to catch it. Instead, he first dipped some diesel oil in his hand, smelled it under his nose, and then
He shined his hand with a headlight, and then said: "The quality is quite good, feel free to use it."
Diesel barrels were filled up one after another, and then the filled barrels were immediately placed on the truck without stopping for a moment longer.
While refueling, Cao Zhenjiang asked from behind: "Is there enough oil? Can I burn diesel for heating and cooking?"
Liu Deguang hesitated for a moment and said: "Isn't this trashing things..."
"Hey, what you said is that cooking is a waste of food? Give me some if you don't use them all, otherwise you still want to eat self-heating dry food?"
Liu Deguang shook his head and said: "Pretend I didn't say anything, just use it as you like, there is so much oil that you won't be able to use it up."
Cao Zhenjiang happily started to help, but Gao Yuan no longer had to look, everything was done in an orderly manner, and it didn't matter whether he was there or not.
Yu Shunzhou picked up the oil barrels on the truck and stacked them forward. After seeing Gao Yuan, he waved and said: "Brother Yuan, come here."
Gao Yuan walked over, and Yu Shunzhou stood on the truck and whispered: "We don't have much to eat. We haven't found anything to eat these days. Shouldn't we pay attention?"
Gao Yuan looked inside and said, "How many more are there?"
"Four boxes of compressed biscuits, five boxes of self-heating dry food, and all the canned food."
Trucks have to pull supplies, but they also have to pull weapons, bullets, guns, rocket launchers, and grenades. Although everyone's rifles are equipped with Bayi rifles to facilitate replenishment, the weapons and ammunition have not been consumed these days, but food and fuel have been consumed every day.
All are being consumed.
If you want to replenish food, you have to go to places where there are many people. But where there are many people, there must be zombies.
Gao Yuan and Zhao Qiang share the same opinion whether they can go as quickly as possible or go as fast as possible.
Self-heating dry food is much more delicious than compressed biscuits, but because of the deliciousness of self-heating dry food, I have been eating self-heating dry food almost every day since I came out of Guisui Shelter. Now there are only five boxes left, which is enough for fourteen people.
Three days.
There were quite a lot of compressed biscuits. If they really ate according to calories rather than appetite, four boxes of compressed biscuits would be enough for them to eat for ten days.
But there is a problem. You can't eat everything and then look for food. If you don't save any food, you won't be causing trouble for yourself.
What's more, the sight of eating compressed biscuits makes me unappetizing.
Gao Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Well, it's time to find supplies. I'll discuss it with Boss Zhao."
Zhao Qiang was deep in thought over there. Gao Yuan came over and whispered: "Boss Zhao, we don't have much to eat. It's easy to replenish water along the way, but it's hard to replenish food. I want to go to the village tomorrow after meeting
Search inside to see if there’s anything to eat.”
Zhao Qiang nodded first, but then he shook his head, and then he whispered to Gao Yuan: "I have checked it, and I know it. According to the normal consumption, we can still eat for six days, no problem. According to the minimum consumption,
I can still eat for half a month, so I think it’s better not to cause trouble and travel as much as possible while the road is still safe.”
Gao Yuan said: "But I can't stand it if I keep eating like this. I...I can't even poop. I get angry when I eat. Also, I eat the minimum amount every day. If I have to exercise with all my strength,
, then our food is enough for me to eat two meals alone..."
Gao Yuan also knew that he could eat more, so he felt a little embarrassed when he said it.
Zhao Qiang took a breath and said: "In terms of supplies, you are the biggest variable, but..."
After hesitating for a while, Zhao Qiang finally looked like he had made up his mind and said in a low voice: "But I don't feel at ease. I always feel that something is going to happen, so let's try to reduce unnecessary activities in the past two days."
"ah?"
Gao Yuan would not turn a deaf ear to Zhao Qiang's feelings.
Who is Zhao Qiang? He is an internal expert and has always been responsible for protecting the supreme leader. This kind of person's sense of danger is as sensitive as if he has superpowers.
Whether it's a sixth sense or a premonition, as long as Zhao Qiang feels there is danger, there is almost certainly danger, because no one in the world is more sensitive to danger than Zhao Qiang.
Even Zhao Qiang's ability to become captain has a lot to do with his keen sense of danger.
Don’t believe it, throughout history, countless people have avoided catastrophe due to some ominous premonition. This kind of thing is simply countless.
Gao Yuan said worriedly: "Boss Zhao, don't scare me. What do you think is wrong? If that doesn't work, let's not stop here, refuel and leave as soon as possible."
Zhao Qiang shook his head and said: "It's not a big deal to leave immediately. The feeling is not very strong, but I always feel guilty. Well, I'd better stay here and have a good rest. I'd rather recuperate to better deal with the danger."
After finishing speaking, Zhao Qiang looked at Gao Yuan with some surprise and said: "I said I just feel bad, but I didn't find any danger. I didn't expect you to be quite nervous."
Gao Yuan said seriously: "If you feel bad, it's bad. I felt bad a few days before the aliens came. I don't know why I am irritable, but I am very irritable."
Zhao Qiang was even more surprised and said: "Oh? Do you often feel this way?"
"It's not often, it's occasionally, and it's not always something that's going to happen. But before the aliens came, I did feel inexplicably agitated for several days."
Zhao Qiang took a breath and said: "Well, that means you have a strong sense of danger. Not to mention other industries, for people like us, this is a talent."
Some people were busy, and of course there were people with guns on guard. Military doctor Wang Ning was standing by with guns on guard. Listening to the conversation between Gao Yuan and Zhao Qiang, Wang Ning finally couldn't help it anymore. He whispered: "I heard what you said...
…I feel like something is going to happen every day, but I’m fine now.”
Zhao Qiang smiled and did not answer, but Gao Yuan said: "Dr. Wang, let me ask you something, do you not believe in premonitions?"
"Well, I really don't believe it. It's not scientific."
When he heard the word science, Gao Yuan immediately said: "When it comes to science, how can we explain the phenomenon that everyone believes exists despite there being no scientific reason?"
Wang Ning said without hesitation: "Any phenomenon can be explained scientifically!"
Gao Yuan continued to smile: "I said yes, and you must admit it."
Wang Ning was very unconvinced and said: "Then come and listen."
Gao Yuan said softly: "Luck, whether it is good luck or bad luck, do you admit that there is such a thing as luck? If so, please explain luck to me using science."
Wang Ning was stunned and speechless.
"Are you speechless? It seems that you also believe in luck. So since you believe in luck, why don't you believe in such unreasonable things as premonitions? Regardless of whether it makes sense or not, you have to admit that some people have a strong sixth sense.
"
Wang Ning took a breath and said: "I didn't say premonitions don't exist, I just said it's unscientific... Well, you think I didn't say anything, I didn't say anything."
Gao Yuan smiled, and then he said to Zhao Qiang: "Otherwise, let's not stop here, refuel and withdraw until your uneasy feeling disappears."
