Doomsday Traveler

Chapter 5 Gas Station Treasure Hunt

There is an east-west road outside the villa, which has cracked.

Weeds grew along the roadside, climbing up the road and into the cracks.

Lu Xian looked around and asked, "Where are we going?"

"West."

Yao Wei answered and turned to head west.

Lu Xian followed and asked, "Are we going to find a place to refuel or to the car?"

Yao Wei: "Come on."

Lu Xian: "..."

Yao Wei's two words and three characters seemed to become "walk" and "Tianzhu" in his ears. This woman could express her meaning clearly with one word and would never use two words.

The problem is that he is not the Supreme Treasure who has abandoned the mortal world. The woman in front of him has fine and beautiful hair, and she is definitely not a bald donkey from five hundred years later.

But on second thought, this woman is much more powerful than Tang Seng. Not only is she an accurate spearman and very strong, she also has great endurance - just like herself.

I've already spent a whole night and a whole day in Villa 272, and I still have energy.

Lu Xian never understood why he became so strong and durable. He thought that Yao Wei was in a similar physical condition to him and might know something.

But he didn't ask. He and Yao Wei were not very familiar with each other, and they were wary of each other. It would be bad to show too much timidity.

In my current condition, I can probably hold on for another night. I wonder how long Yao Wei can hold on?

While Lu Xian was thinking in his mind, he followed Yao Wei all the way west, passing No. 274, No. 275, and No. 276 Jiangyu Road, but there was no No. 273.

No. 274, 275 and 276 are all single-family courtyards close to the villa courtyard of No. 272, but they are not villas and are far inferior to No. 272.

The houses in these single-family courtyards have collapsed due to years of abandonment.

When Lu Xian got closer, he saw that the roof had fallen to the ground, the brick walls had collapsed, and the vines were so tangled that they covered almost everything. The yard was also overgrown with weeds, leaving no place to stand.

He had traveled all the way from north to south and was already accustomed to such scenes.

This kind of building, which is not made of reinforced concrete, collapses very easily, and there are relatively few good things to find inside.

If Lu Xian didn't really need a house, he would never set foot in such a place.

After No. 276, Jiangyu Road leads directly into the vast wilderness.

Under the night sky, you can see the dim stars, and the outlines of weeds are bent low in the wind, forming patches of messy black waves.

Amidst the ink waves, there was a building standing alone on the side of the road. It was so far away from them that they could only barely see a small dot.

Lu Xian guessed that it was probably a gas station.

He remembered something and asked, "Are you sure there's gas at the station? Aren't you afraid it'll run out?"

"Take a chance."

Yao Wei replied.

Okay, this time I said two more words than before.

Lu Xian smiled.

That's right, how can it not be a matter of luck? Along the way, where is not a matter of luck?
If you are not lucky enough to find supplies, you might be dead.

So I've always had pretty good luck. This time should be no different.

The two men and the dog strode forward in the dark, listening to the whistling wind. After walking for about half an hour, they finally arrived outside the building, and it turned out to be a gas station.

Yao Wei walked up quickly, and Lu Xian asked, "How did you know there was a gas station here?"

"There's a map, of the old world."

Yao Wei replied.

Lu Xian understood what she said.

Gas stations were all built in the old world. If you have a map of the old world with these locations marked on it, finding this place will be no problem.

But she had no intention of showing the map to Lu Xian, and Lu Xian didn't want it either.

I just don't know if the map is paper or electronic? In this world, electronic versions are not stable, but paper ones usually have these places clearly marked?
Whether it's paper or electronic, I'll definitely let my dog ​​take a closer look when I get a chance. After Yao Wei and I parted ways, I had a map in hand, so I could be sure of where to go. That would be much better than just blindly heading south.

"Gouzi, go take a look first."

Lu Xian lowered his voice and gave the dog new instructions outside the gas station. The gas station was dark and seemed to be deserted, but he still remained vigilant out of habit.

The mechanical dog walked forward on its short legs, swaying and disappearing into the darkness.

Yao Wei also stopped and looked at the dog with a little envy.

But Lu Xian had already figured out Yao Wei's personality and caught the change in expression on the woman's face at a glance.

The two of them squatted aside, waiting for the mechanical dog to come back from reconnaissance.

Lu Xian sighed and said, "Actually, this mechanical dog is not suitable for reconnaissance and exploration. It makes too much noise."

Yao Wei said: "It's better than nothing."

"Too."

Lu Xian said, "It would be nice if it had four wheels."

Yao Wei: “Yeah.”

After a while, two lights came on in the gas station. Lu Xian and Yao Wei both recognized them as the two dog eyes of the mechanical dog.

"Let's go, it's safe, no problem."

Lu Xian said as he stood up.

He and Yao Wei walked into the gas station together.

Yao Wei did not go straight to the gas pump, but looked around the station building, found the electrical box, opened it and looked inside.

Lu Xian asked the dog to help shine the light with his eyes. Yao Wei looked back and said, "Thank you."

Lu Xian smiled but said nothing.

He carefully observed Yao Wei's actions, but unfortunately he couldn't understand them.

Anyway, after tinkering with it for a while, Yao Wei must have found a circuit. Then she put down her backpack, took something out of it, connected it to the circuit, and the light on the gas pump came on.

"Great!"

Lu Xian praised.

Yao Wei said, "I picked it up." She was referring to the thing she took out of her backpack.

"That's awesome too."

Lu Xian said.

He picked up his dog.

After the power was turned on, Yao Wei quickly ran to the gas pump to check. Lu Xian followed and saw that there were four gas pumps, two of which had screens on and two that did not.

Yao Wei walked directly to one of the gas pumps with a lit screen and started tinkering with it again.

Lu Xian ignored her and took the dog into the gas station.

The door to the station building was made of glass and had been smashed long ago, so it was wide open. I guess it had been visited countless times.

But since he was already here, he couldn't just sit there and take a look. Lu Xian followed the mechanical dog in.

The station building was also a small supermarket, with two or three rows of empty shelves, having been swept clean long ago. The floor was littered with useless items, already covered in a layer of dust.

Lu Xian brushed away the spider webs and looked around one by one, then went to the cashier counter and the inner office. The desks, cabinets and drawers were all open, empty and covered with dust.

really……

He gave up completely and walked out from the inner room. He glanced at the ground inadvertently and suddenly saw some things with their packaging torn and lying on the ground in pieces. They were actually some toy motorcycles.

I don’t know if the motorcycles were trampled or broken by being dropped. I don’t know if they were useless in the apocalypse and were deliberately destroyed by people who came to Taobao to vent their anger.

But it doesn't matter.

All Lu Xian was looking at was the motorcycle wheel lying quietly on the ground.
