Chapter 515: Chapter 259 Typhoon Day

Maya confirmed the individual to hire, and then spun the slot machine. When the slot machine came to a halt, Maya spat out a mouthful of old blood, "Ten barrels of gasoline."

After hearing the outcome, Shana said with a guilty conscience, "The odds definitely can’t be wrong, we shouldn’t have drawn the gasoline."

Maya replied, "I’ll go get the oil." All this oil had been squeezed from Dashuang’s body. Considering this, Maya suddenly had a wicked idea: why not mortgage Dashuang to them. Then she hurriedly slapped her own face to wake up a bit and not be influenced by that person.

Shana questioned, "Did I draw it?"

Stone suggested, "I advise against it. But since Maya has already drawn, if you don’t draw, wouldn’t it seem like you’re too mean?"

Shana admired him, "The leader speaks so wisely, whatever the outcome, the credit is yours, the blame is mine." If it turns out well, it’s because the leader subtly suggested Shana take a gamble. If it’s bad, the leader already advised you not to gamble.

Stone laughed heartily, "Go ahead, draw."

seconds later, Shana announced, "20 kilograms of edible meat."

A long silence fell over the channel, until Stone finally said, "Don’t tell Lin Wu the result."

The silence continued until Maya arrived at Doomsday Base, picked up ten barrels of oil, and realized that Doomsday Fortress had less than five barrels left: "Fuel is a big problem. Right now, the two bases produce only one barrel of gasoline each day." Although a marketplace had been established for a few days and traders had visited twice, none had sold a Skill Book that could increase fuel reserves. Worse yet, they could no longer exchange painkillers for resources due to the bug being fixed.

Stone said, "I’m not too worried about fuel, actually. If we run out of oil, we can walk. What I’m concerned about is the Threat Value. Ever since Snow Egg lost the sound insulation technology, Shadow’s Threat Value has reached 4 stars and 20%. If this keeps increasing, the consequences are unimaginable." Before the update, a 5-star or even a 6-star siege wasn’t scary for Shadow, but after the update, it was a different story. Although Shadow has a decent stockpile of ammunition, it’s only enough to withstand one 6-star siege.

Maya said, "Looking at the last siege at Doomsday Fortress, the intensity of the siege has significantly decreased, and the proportion of Mutant Zombies is also very low. From our analysis, Mutant Zombies do not pose a great threat to us. Hand over Forest Wolf to Lin Wu, he can deal with Titan using the least amount of bullets. And Little Knife can directly confront Frenzy."

Maya continued, "Relative to the Mutant Zombies, I’m more worried about the regular zombies. After the update, the zombies’ impact force is terrifying. Doomsday Fortress has a tunnel for defense, which is good. The Sawmill is open on all sides and can only face them head-on."

Maya suggested, "I propose when facing high-star sieges, we could use armored vehicles to reduce the number of zombies as much as possible, to weaken their impact force."

Shana responded, "The sawmill has four doors, but armored vehicles can’t drive into the factory building, they can only deal with zombies from one direction."

Stone declared, "Get three more armored vehicles."

Shana and Maya obviously knew Stone was joking; such things were not to be found easily. Besides, the fuel consumption of four armored vehicles running at the same time is something Shadow could never afford.

At this point, someone shouted over the public channel. Switching to the public channel, they heard only Peanut and Lin Wu yelling, "Oil tanker, oil tanker!"

Dashuang echoed, "Oil tanker."

"Where?" Cotton shouted, "Oil tanker, there’s an oil tanker on the sea."

What does an oil tanker signify? It signifies that in the days to come, Shadow Base could use gasoline as if it was plentiful. To leave the house without carrying twenty Incendiary Grenades would be a disservice to one’s identity.

Maya urgently asked, "Where is it?"

"On the sea," the four answered in unison. An oil tanker appeared near the lighthouse. At first glance, it was motionless, but upon closer inspection, they realized it was moving, albeit slowly. It was estimated that it wouldn’t disappear from sight for another ten hours.

Should they gamble? Put all the fuel into the tugboat? No, the Peanut, owned by Doomsday, was just a harbor tugboat and couldn’t handle the wind and waves near the open sea. Even if they managed to get close to the oil tanker, boarding would still be challenging without specialized equipment, not to mention dangerous. Additionally, in case of a direct collision, the tugboat would be mercilessly capsized.

Furthermore, even if they boarded the tanker, eliminated all the zombies, would they be able to access the oil smoothly? There would be no fuel pump, and for security reasons, undoubtedly multiple safety measures would be in place, requiring them to find clues and keys on the ship.

Moreover, even if they obtained the oil, how much could a small boat hold? And how much time would be spent traveling back and forth?

If everything went well, that would naturally be a win. But if any step went wrong, they were certain to lose out.

Maya stated, "Right now we don’t have the conditions. It’s better just to look." There was only one condition: sufficient fuel reserves. If they reached a point where fuel could be squandered at will, they could treat it as a trip and let everyone have an adventure. However, if the fuel reserves were that high, why take the risk to look for more oil?

With this in mind, Maya asked, "Lin Wu, could you find the location of the port authority?" The port authority managed the ports, and there should be a wealth of information on ships. In the future, if they discover ships corresponding to the information, they could retrieve partial details of the vessels.

To the left of Dock Road were warehouses, and to the right, living quarters. If you continued along Dock Road towards North City for three kilometers, you would reach the container port. The port was not large, able to provide docking and unloading for only two large vessels. Currently, a luxury cruise ship was docked there. From the drone’s perspective, the ship was teeming with zombies.
