Chapter 117: Liquefied Gas Station

Chapter 117: Chapter 117: Liquefied Gas Station

The location of the liquefied gas station wasn’t particularly far, but the road was difficult to travel on, even though the thick ice had gone.

However, the areas that were previously covered with water had frozen over, and many of the surrounding houses had collapsed.

Above was a village with many old houses.

As for the shopping street, the situation was even worse.

The group moved cautiously, fearing that any carelessness might lead to bumps and bruises, which would be troublesome.

"Do you see that, is that it?"

Jhiang Yuan was somewhat excited; she had never been to this place before.

Now, they could only rely on an offline map, but the surrounding destruction was so severe that it was basically impossible to recognize anything.

However, the sign’s advertisement cloth was partially damaged, leaving it hanging down.

You could make out the words "gas station" faintly, which was enough.

Zhang Kaiyang also became excited. This was a somewhat remote place.

It was far from the main street in the village, located in a small alley.

They wouldn’t raise too much suspicion here.

There were two car washes and two repair shops at the entrance, with the liquefied gas station at the very back, opposite a waste recycling station.

It was a separate courtyard, with only a front shop of thirty to fifty square meters.

Zhang Kaiyang was unlocking the door, an easy task for him.

In about three minutes, the door was opened, and excitement glinted in everyone’s eyes.

The storefront wasn’t big; once cleared up, it was about forty square meters.

Inside were stored liquefied gas cylinders and an electric tricycle.

A desk at the entrance, probably for office use.

Next to it was a simple camp bed, presumably for temporary rest.

Song Yi, as usual, had everyone on guard. There was nothing special here, and the place was small, so it was essentially all in plain view.

Directly opposite the wall, there was a door that seemed to lead to the backyard.

She went to pull down the rolling door and took out a large flashlight from her bag.

The store instantly lit up as bright as daylight, and no one outside could tell there were people inside.

Song Yi signaled to Zhang Kaiyang, to check the backyard, and they positioned themselves to the left and right sides of the door.

It wasn’t locked, so it opened as soon as they pulled the handle.

The two also moved quietly, with Jhiang Yuan pulling Ye Mianmian behind Zhang Kaiyang, ready for any emergency.

The light spilled into the back space, which was like a small courtyard covered with iron sheets, probably a temporary storage area.

Inside, liquefied gas cylinders were stored neatly, probably over five hundred of them—just incredible.

"It’s safe, come and see. There are so many, we probably won’t be able to take them all away right now."

Zhang Kaiyang called over Jhiang Yuan and Ye Mianmian, who were indeed stunned by the sight before them; there were just too many.

If only they could all be placed in her space, that would be great, but now they had to worry about storage.

"Goodness, these could probably last for years, they’re all full, right!"

"Of course, what are you thinking, why would anyone store empty cylinders."

Zhang Kaiyang couldn’t help but tease Ye Mianmian, visibly excited.

"So many, we probably can’t take them all."

Song Yi always had a way of throwing cold water when everyone was happiest.

"Yeah, let’s think of a plan!"

Jhiang Yuan said as she turned to go to the front shop, where the desk had two drawers and a small cabinet.

To search for steel coins was her goal.

Earlier at the bank, she found not a single coin, which was utterly frustrating.

Seeing her go there, Ye Mianmian also followed.

While Jhiang Yuan searched the desk, she went to check by the camp bed.

This place is very clean, the store owner must have been here before, even not a single cup is left.

However, they did find half a roll of toilet paper and two notebooks with frayed edges.

What she wanted, not even a steel coin, embarrassing.

Ye Mianmian fared about the same—no blankets, just an old pair of slippers with the soles coming apart.

"How could someone tidy up so thoroughly, not leaving a single useful thing behind?"

Jhiang Yuan looked at the half roll of toilet paper in her hand, which felt slightly damp.

"They might live nearby, or perhaps when the weather was hot, they moved everything away."

Song Yi and Zhang Kaiyang also came over, and indeed transportation was a problem with so much stuff.

"Why don’t we have a look around, see if there’s anything else that could be useful?"

"Yeah, we need to find some firewood as well."

Since everyone was willing, they decided to take a look outside.

Song Yi was still a bit worried though, this was a village after all—probably still many villagers around.

"Stay close, don’t wander off, we’ll go in pairs."

"Alright!"

He and Zhang Kaiyang went to the recycling station, while Ye Mianmian and Jhiang Yuan headed to the car wash nearby.

The roll-up door here was a piece of cake for Jhiang Yuan as well.

But compared to Zhang Kaiyang, her speed was a bit slower.

"It’s open, Mianmian, be careful..."

Ye Mianmian didn’t dare to be careless, she and Jhiang Yuan checked left and right to ensure the inside was safe before relaxing.

This car wash was self-service and had four machines inside.

"Don’t know what we can find here, Mianmian, you search here, I’ll go open the next door."

"Okay, Sister Yuan, go ahead, be careful, and call me if you need."

"Okay!"

The second shop next door was an auto repair shop, and Jhiang Yuan was stunned when she entered.

In here was actually a box truck that seemed to be in good shape with a high undercarriage.

If it worked, that would be great.

She reined in her excitement and started searching for items—no cash, but there were plenty of new towels, motor oil, windshield washer fluid, and various car parts.

She picked some of them, guessing these items likely wouldn’t be of much use later on.

If they could be sold, that would be best—waiting for the opportunity.

Ye Mianmian finished scavenging the previous place, and upon entering and seeing the truck, her eyes went wide.

"Oh my god, can this truck be used, we could use it to transport liquefied gas cylinders."

"That’s what I was thinking, Mianmian, go and call the others over."

"Okay."

Excited, Ye Mianmian rushed off in the direction of the recycling station.

Song Yi and Zhang Kaiyang didn’t expect to encounter a box truck either—what kind of incredible luck was that!

"With this truck, things will be a lot easier, just not sure if it can start."

Song Yi didn’t speak, instead asking Kaiyang to assist him as he began checking the radiator and such.

Jhiang Yuan, along with Ye Mianmian, went on to check the remaining shops one by one.

The shop next door was also an auto repair shop, and they were quite excited when they opened it.

However, this place was very ordinary with no cars.

They were cautious as usual, but as they entered, they felt something was off.

The area wasn’t large and everything was in plain sight. There was a rack directly across, and Jhiang Yuan ran quickly over to it, ensuring no one was there.

"Ah..."

Before they could even breathe a sigh of relief, a sharp scream was heard.
