Doomsday Traveler

Chapter 55: Good Intentions and Malice
At this moment, Lu Xian really wished he had a big loudspeaker like Luo Ping's. Even if it was not installed on the roof of the car, just holding it to his mouth would save him from choking.

Lu Xian and Yao Wei waited for a while, but no one responded from the gas station.

Both of them knew that they couldn't wait any longer. In order to ensure they had enough gas, they had to go into the gas station in front of them.

They could only assume that the people in the gas station had agreed to their suggestion, and drove in while being on guard.

"Dog, confirm their location first."

Before shifting gears and stepping on the accelerator to start, Lu Xian ordered the dog to go out and take a look around.

After the drone circled the gas station again, the light in the dog's eyes shot towards the station building. Lu Xian and Yao Wei both understood that the other party's people were hiding in the station building.

The station building was on the inside of the gas pump, so Lu Xian drove over and parked outside the two gas pumps, allowing the gas pumps to slightly block the view of the station building.

Even though this gas station is occupied, there is still no electricity.

It has been decades since the end of the world. Which power plant can still operate?

If there were power plants still functioning, there should be some signs of revival of civilization in this world. Why would Sharp Golopin be so anxious?
"The electric box is over there."

Yao Wei pointed the muzzle of the gun slightly towards the side of the station building and said.

Lu Xian directly sent Gou Zi to connect the power. The two of them were just in the car and did not rush to get off to see what would happen after the power was connected.

They both noticed that the door of the station building was slightly open and someone was secretly looking out.

So their guns are also easy to find targets. If the situation is not right, just shoot at the door of the station building.

"Om-"

The old gas pump started up again, groaning under the strain.

But no matter what, the gas pump in front of us can indeed be used.

The readings displayed on the gas pump screen after the groan also proved this.

The two had a clear division of labor. Lu Xian turned off the car, and Yao Wei got out with a gun in hand. While being cautious and vigilant, she went to operate the gas pump.

When Yao Wei inserted the gas pump into the car's fuel tank, the door of the station building suddenly moved, and a small figure suddenly flashed out.

Yao Wei quickly raised her gun and aimed, and Lu Xian also raised his submachine gun.

But when he looked closely, he was shocked to find that the person coming out of the station building was a child who looked only three or four years old.

The child's hair was messy like a bird's nest, his lips were chapped, and his cheeks were covered with fine bloodstains. Although he had warmed up now, he was still wrapped up tightly and looked dirty.

Seeing him stagger out and almost fall, Lu Xian was sure that this kid was not a new human.

Lu Xian and Yao Wei did not fire rashly, but were careful and cautious, with their fingers pressed lightly on the trigger.

The gun was not pointed at the child, but continued to stare at the station door which had been opened because the child came out.

A hunchbacked man with a haggard face quickly chased out, picked up the child, nodded and bowed to Lu Xian and Yao Wei, and took the child back.

From the looks of it, the people in the station room seemed to have no ill intentions.

"Squeak-"

The door of the station building was closed again, and it was quiet inside, as if what had just happened was just an accident.

The people in the station expressed their attitude in this way, waiting quietly for Lu Xian and Yao Wei to leave.

"Om-"

The gas pump continued to run, filling the car's tank with gas. Then Yao Wei took out a jerry can from the car and filled it up.

After doing all this, there was still no movement in the station building.

This made Lu Xian and Yao Wei feel a little relieved. Yao Wei stuffed the oil drum back into the car, and after Lu Xian called the dog back, they prepared to continue their journey.

But at this moment, the door of the station building creaked open again.

Yao Wei immediately leaned out of the car and aimed her gun. Lu Xian quickly started the car, ready to shift gears and step on the accelerator.

However, there was no attack from the door, and the old man walked out cautiously again.

The man was holding two mineral water bottles in his hands. When he saw Lu Xian and Yao Wei from afar, he quickly forced a flattering smile, revealing his rotten and yellow teeth, looking harmless.

He put the mineral water bottle on the ground and said ingratiatingly twice, "Drink, drink." After that, he hurried back to the station building.

Lu Xian and Yao Wei looked at each other, somewhat puzzled.

They were all planning to leave, so this gesture of goodwill seemed unnecessary...

But then the voice of the man just now came from the station building: "You two are powerful people. We are very grateful to you for not killing us when you met us.

"These two bottles of water are our thank you gifts. We offer them to you to express our gratitude for not killing us. Please accept them."

Lu Xian was silent for a moment, then asked Yao Wei, "Are we so lucky? We came all the way from Jiangyu Road, to Luoping, and to this gas station. How come we always run into good people?"

Yao Wei shook her head and said, "Don't trust it easily."

Indeed, to survive in this world, you cannot trust others easily.

Along the way, the only two good people I met were Yao Wei and Luo Ping.

It was because of the appearance of the hyena and by chance that Yao Wei let down her guard against him. Otherwise, if she was not careful, he might even point a gun at her.

Among the rest of the people, who doesn’t fight as soon as they meet?

The end of the world is harsh and people’s hearts are no longer the same. How can there be so much kindness in this world today?

Moreover, Lu Xian didn't meet many people on his way from north to south. It was not until he arrived in Mozhou City that he met the first group of people other than himself.

He knew very well that Yao Wei was far more experienced than himself in this regard, so he would definitely consider Yao Wei's suggestions.

"Gouzi, go check, is there anything wrong with the water?"

Lu Xian gave instructions to the mechanical dog.

After receiving Lu Xian's new order, the mechanical dog immediately jumped out of the car and rolled the rollers on its four legs towards the mineral water.

Yao Wei was responsible for providing cover for the mechanical dog, while Lu Xian looked at the mechanical dog and said with emotion: "It would be great if they were good people.

“If they are good people, we can introduce them to Luo Ping as comrades.

"In this way, our reconstructionist broadcast can be said to be effective."

Yao Wei didn't say anything, but just stared at the door of the station.

Lu Xian's eyes were always on the dog.

The dog had already walked to the mineral water bottle and stared at it for a while. Lu Xian knew that it was scanning the water quality.

Then he saw the dog turn around, and its eyes flashed twice in his direction.
