Chapter 178: 178. Discussion before the Second Departure

Bang!

There was another sound before the door was flung open. Lucy stood there with her hair looked a bit messy. She coughed. "Sorry about that, we’re not used with the location of the furniture here."

Anna could see that the two of them had assembled several chairs, two tables, and also cupboard. There were also many items that were placed there, stacking around messily.

The corner of her lips twitched.

It seemed that the few hours when Anna helped Dylan to unpack and also cleaned up the place before plus eating was not enough for Mark and Lucy to clean up. Well, it was more like the two of them didn’t have any plan to clean up thoroughly.

After all, they were planning to participate in the test later to become part of the army.

As for what would happen afterwards, Anna didn’t know.

Anyway, they were planning for their own future but before that, they would travel together to search for supplies out there.

"Come in." Lucy coughed and then made way.

Mark was putting the chairs back in place. He nodded at the two of them and said, "You come at the right time."

"Yes?"

"Well, we’re talking about the route for tomorrow and look at this map." Mark was showing the electronic map from his phone. "The location of the three bases are here, here, and here. The place where we’re going are far away from all bases. The closest is the center base, but it’s estimated that they won’t be going there yet."

"If that’s so far, what if there are a lot of people?" Anna asked.

"Don’t worry, that areas are split into two district. One is business district and the other is factory district. There’s indeed the dormitory for the factory workers, but before the flood, they’re all asked to go back home because no industry was allowed to work during that time," Mark explained.

The break was supposed to only be three days. While it was not very good for some businessmen who loved money, but they also knew that lives were more important. If their workers ended up sick or dying because they forced them working, the follow up troubles would be harder to deal with.

So, these businessmen still complied with the regulation.

During this rare three days’ break, the workers also returned to their respective homes and prepare for the storm.

It was just that the supposed three days’ break ended up to be more than a month.

And afterwards, the damage to various infrastructures hadn’t been repaired yet. Some people had returned to their respective homes while other people were staying at the bases. Places like this area was not very popular.

"There’s a mall there?" Anna asked with dumbfounded expression.

The place doesn’t seem to be... very profitable.

"There are only smaller malls there, but the ground is a bit higher, so the upper floor might not be completely flooded. There are also small pharmacy there, so we plan to take a look," Mark replied.

Lucy shrugged. "Well, if you want to go on your own..."

"No." Anna refused immediately.

She had no interest to go out on her own. Even if she could use the gun to protect herself, there might be many other dangers out there. She was not entirely sure that she would be able to truly protect herself completely.

Rather than taking such a risk, it would be better to follow her friends.

"I know that Anna love me..." Lucy hugged Anna while the others patted her hand hurriedly.

"Hey, hey, you’re choking me!"

"Hahahaha!"

The two girls were playing around while Mark looked at Anna enviously. He wanted Lucy to hug him hard like that too!

Dylan patted Mark’s back. "The route is done?"

"Yes. On our way back, we’ll pass by this gas station. Hopefully, we’ll be able to find some fuel there," Mark replied.

"Hmm, it’s a small gas station." Dylan looked at the map. Some gas stations were built smaller than others. It was located at the intersection, which was intended for the cars to resupply their gas in case of emergency.

It was not very popular because it was mostly self service.

"There shouldn’t be any fuel tank nearby there," Dylan added.

Mark shrugged. "We shall try. Anyway, no one will go to this small gas station."

"Right."

They didn’t have that much gas, so they should just try their luck in other places. But how much luck they would have... the two of them were not entirely sure either.

"Well, even if we can’t go there, we should be able to buy gas later." Mark thought for a moment and then added, "My father told me that the military will be dispatched to take the fuel from the tank buried underground. They had prepared the machines and everything necessary."

"I don’t think they will sell the fuel anytime soon." Dylan shook his head. "It’ll be an important resources for the military themselves. Not to mention, the fuel can definitely be used for many things that you can’t think of."

"Right..." Mark shrugged.

In any case, the chance of them figuring out the method to use the pump again if it was broken was exceptionally low. Even if they wanted to use the fuel from the gas station, it was unlikely that they would be able to do it.

Buying the fuel could only be done if the base has enough of fuel for themselves, which in this situation, seemed to be very unlikely. They needed the fuel more than anyone else.

"We’ll think about it later and try to get some from the gas station later."

"Got it."

The two boys turned to look at the girls and saw that they were not done yet. Well, it seemed that they were also talking about other gossips.

Dylan smiled faintly, watching this scene.

Well, even if life seemed to be unsatisfactory outside, it was good to be able to enjoy their current life. Because if they didn’t, it would be too hard to survive.
