Chapter 147. Gas Problem

Chapter 147: 147. Gas Problem

"It feels as if they have thought and prepared everything," Anna commented.

Lucy laughed. "If they truly have prepared everything, it’s not possible to let us stay in that broken apartment."

"Do you have any complain with my apartment?"

"Sorry, Dylan, but I’m telling the truth that your broken apartment is not very good to stay for a long period of time without access to the outside world."

Dylan was itching to beat the other party up. But thinking about her words, he gave up completely.

Anyway, he knew very well that they were also telling the truth this way.

They were safe from the flood but they could only live comfortably because they have enough supplies when they reached the place.

But after they stayed there for a period of time, there would be many inconveniences.

"How much gas do you have left?" Anna suddenly asked.

"AH $%^&*()!"

Series of curses came out of Lucy’s mouth.

"Young people, don’t curse!" Old Master Daniels protested.

Dylan rolled his eyes. In their home, the one who liked to curse the most was Old Master Daniels and now he was telling others not to curse. Tsk, tsk, this grandfather has always been double standard.

"We’ll stop in a gas station at the front," Mark interrupted Lucy’s curse. He had also seen that the gas was not in a very good condition right now. So there was no other choice but to stop and refuel if they wanted to go.

"Yes."

"Will the machine still work?" Doctor Mike suddenly interrupted.

He and Aunt Tiara were driving the truck. It was the hardest to control but thankfully, he still knew how to. However, he started to wonder why did his profession changed again from doctor to be a driver.

Doctor Mike felt rather helpless about this matter but he still accepted the arrangement.

Anyway, there was nothing else that he could do.

He also didn’t want to stay in that apartment all the time. With the flood is gone, why should they wrong themselves to stay in that narrow place?

The base should be better.

"The machine?"

"The pump," Mark said slowly and looked at Lucy helplessly. "There’s no question about the leakage because the storage tanks were placed deep in the ground. However, the pump might not work well after being drowned for a long period of time."

Lucy thought about it and nodded helplessly.

Anna was also thinking about this matter. The oil inside was fine, but in order to repair the pump, it would definitely take a long time.

She thought about her space.

Can she put items that she couldn’t see?

Anna didn’t know.

But she knew that her reach was quite far from the rain that she tested before. So she could try to get the oil later.

Hopefully, it would work.

"Our target is oil tanker car," Old Master Daniels said slowly. "In the gas station, there would be oil tanker car that might still be filled with oil. In that case, we’ll be able to fill our car’s fuel tank."

Right, oil tanker car.

The others’ eyes also lit up.

"In that case, let’s hurry up."

"There’s no way to go so fast in this terrain." Mark shook his head. "And if we’re too fast, we’ll consume oil faster."

Lucy was stumped. "There’s that operation?"

Mark: "..."

He looked at his girlfriend helplessly and shook his head. If a car were to go faster than usual, the amount of oil burned would also be faster and more than usual. Because the car needed more energy to go at faster speed.

But he felt that Lucy might not even thought about it.

*sigh*

Having such a silly girlfriend can be a bit difficult.

There were several gas station on the route to City A Base, so they quickly reached the first one. It was still early morning and not many people would usually woke up at this time. Unfortunately, it was already quite noisy there.

"We’re here." Mark furrowed his eyebrows when he saw the row of cars filling the place. They were all lining up in front of the oil tanker car and there were also some arguments with each other.

Some people wanted to bring the oil tanker away but the others disagreed, so there were some noises there.

"People from the other base?" Anna guessed.

"Unlikely, they’re far away from here and there’s no way they would go here when the flood had only receded yesterday," Dylan replied.

The flood had receded in the past few days but it was only yesterday that it reached the level where people could come out. Cars and other vehicles would have difficulties to navigate through the terrain because of the water level but if they wanted to walk, it was still possible.

Neither of the three bases was near this place.

If they wanted to target the gas station, they should go to the gas station near their places instead of coming here.

"I’ll try to negotiate with them," Mark patted Lucy and then pointed at his seat. "You should sit here to prepare to drive away."

"Be careful." Lucy frowned.

"I’ll be fine."

Mark came out and walked to the group of people. From their conversation, it seemed that the oil tank car still has some oil inside and they were dividing about how to use it. Now that Mark had appeared, their competitor had increased.

Dylan was still in the car, but his hand was holding the door, ready to come out if it was necessary to help. His other hand was holding the gun in case it was necessary.

Firing a gun in this kind of place was actually could make it prone to disaster.

Such as fire and explosion.

But there was no other choice.

Anna didn’t pay attention to this and instead thought about the oil in the tank below. She slowly thought about taking them into her space, but felt conflicted because this oil was deep inside.
