I survived with my sister in the doomsday

Chapter 24 Going the wrong way

Looking at the two round watermelons, Lin Lin and I immediately took them and thanked the old man in a hurry.

Lin Lin asked her brother what his name was

The administrator said his surname was Zhao and his real name was Zhao Guangjie, and told us not to be polite. He was just a team leader in this area and two watermelons were nothing and he could afford it.

I took the watermelon and tapped it gently. I knew it was a good watermelon by the crisp sound. I immediately exchanged glances with Lin Lin. We both wanted to get something to sell, so it was a good opportunity to bring back a truckload of watermelons, which would definitely make a lot of money.

But we can't ask for things for free, so we can just barter. There are four boxes of bread in the car that we bought in the morning. We took out two boxes and piled them in front of Captain Zhao Guangjie and asked him if we could exchange these two boxes of bread for watermelons. Bread is a fermented product that doesn't use much flour, but it needs to add auxiliary materials. The factory is doing this. The expired ones that couldn't be sold before were recycled and directly given to the nearby pig farm.

Although there is a disaster now, bread is not considered the main relief food because it is not enough to fill you up. Rice, instant noodles, sausages, canned food and compressed biscuits are the main relief items.

Seeing the two large boxes of bread, Captain Zhao's eyes lit up. He even asked embarrassedly, "Our food is much more valuable than these watermelons. Two whole boxes of bread must contain 200 individually packaged small bags of bread. It would cost a lot of money to exchange them for."

We said it was okay, our factory was originally a bakery, and we were getting the internal price. If you think it’s okay, just give us more watermelons.

Captain Zhao told us happily that it was no big deal, and he immediately called two workers to load the watermelons onto our car.

In order to make it easier to store cargo, Lin Lin and I modified our Wuling Hongguang mini van early in the morning. Except for the two front seats and one seat in the back for the three of us, all the other seats in the back were removed, leaving a large empty space for cargo.

We pulled four boxes of bread in the morning and gave them two boxes. There was still a lot of space in the back. Captain Zhao was really generous. It might also be because they had so many watermelons. The two of them quickly filled the space in the back of our car with watermelons. Suddenly, it felt like the whole car was tilted upside down.

We waved goodbye to these people and got in the car. While driving, I could clearly feel that the rear end of the car was too heavy. I sighed: How much fuel does it cost to drive like this?

With a full car of watermelons, we had no intention of looking for a market today, because the car was really heavy, and there was no room for more goods. We planned to go back and deal with this box of watermelons today and go out to look for more tomorrow. Let's go home! I asked Lin Lin, do you remember the way here?

Lin Lin sneered: Brother, do you really think I'm a directionally challenged person?

Feicui and I didn't say much because we believed him, but we felt something was wrong. How come this area looked more and more like a suburb? The road was getting more and more uneven. I thought, this is not right. Why do I feel like there was no forest when I came here? Until the big rock in front blocked the way, even a fool would know that Lin Lin had taken the wrong road!

Finally, Feicui and I confirmed that this guy was indeed walking in the wrong direction! We were so angry that our teeth were itching. Fortunately, I stopped Feicui, otherwise Lin Lin would have beaten him up.

Lin Lin backed up and parked the car under the shade of the grove. The grove was full of thin saplings that still stood up tenaciously after the earthquake, stretching their branches to the sky to get the sun's nourishment. The grove was shaded by green trees, and the sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves to form patches of golden light. Don't say that this scenery is really pleasant! It also feels a bit cool.

Seeing that it was almost past noon, I suggested that we eat something in the woods first. After Feicui agreed, almost no one else would object. We took out the equipment that Lin Lin took from his dormitory one morning and used it for occasional fishing - two folding stools and a folding table. We opened the bread box and took out a few bags of bread. I took out three bottles of Coke from my backpack and distributed one to each person.

After Feicui took the Coke, she stared at me as if she could see through me. I was a little scared. I asked guiltily, "Feicui, what's wrong with you? Why are you staring at me?"

Feicui was about to question me, but suddenly she glanced at Lin Lin who was taking a watermelon out of the car. She swallowed back what she was about to say and just said harshly, "I'll settle the score with you when I get home!"

I thought she might be unhappy about something and was taking it out on me, but I didn't want to pay any attention to her, so I took out a few sausages and a can of fish from my bag. The three of us were really hungry, so we started eating, taking a bite of bread, a sip of drink, and a bite of sausage.

Lin Lin violently smashed the watermelon, and the watermelon was as red as fire, and the juice flowed down instantly. He quickly broke off a large piece and handed it to Feicui for her to eat first. I don't like his slave look, I snorted coldly and took a piece and took a bite. The rich sweetness exploded in my mouth. It was really delicious. While eating, I said that this watermelon was really sweet and it would definitely sell well when I got back!

After finishing my meal, I said to Lin Lin bluntly, "I'll drive next, you sit in the back!" Of course, my driving skills are average, but better than this guy who doesn't know the road. I didn't realize until I got in the car that the fuel gauge was almost down to the bottom!

The cargo in the car was too heavy, and we took an extra detour, which was really a waste of gas. Gasoline is very expensive nowadays. I only got less than half a tank of gas this morning by asking someone with connections. Although I was able to make the journey back, I still felt uneasy. Besides, I have to go out tomorrow, so I can't always ask for help from connections to get gas, right?

We are now in a special location where there is no village or shop in front and behind. We have driven to the outskirts that have not been flattened by infrastructure! But there are overturned vehicles and abandoned cars on the damaged roads here. I suddenly thought that in the face of disasters, except for the official personnel who are saving people everywhere, ordinary citizens are basically concentrated in a few rescue bases. No one has searched these uncleaned roads and suburbs!

The oil in the tanks and pumps of large gas stations is controlled by the military and officials. It is estimated that the gas stations have run out of oil and the oil must have been pumped away. It is only in these scattered cars that no one has time to collect it.

Lin Lin and I looked at each other and said, "Let's go down and take a look." After that, Lin Lin and I got out of the car and walked towards the Honda CRV closest to us. The entire front half of the car was stuck in the cracks in the road caused by the earthquake. The front door could not be opened, but the rear door was open and the seats inside were also flattened. It was obvious that the owner had climbed from the front to the back seat to barely escape, and he managed to save his life and escape.

There was nothing in the car, so we had to open the trunk of the car. The trunk of the SUV was sticking up high. Fortunately, I was tall and climbed onto the back cover to see that there were still a lot of things inside, including a car-mounted water bucket, a set of high-pressure water gun pipes for self-washing cars, and a metal tool box. I threw these things down one by one with force. The toolbox fell to the ground and scattered the tools inside, including a large crowbar, a jack, a tire wrench, pliers, an electric hand wrench and a utility knife.

We used a utility knife to cut off a section of the car wash water pipe, inserted one end of the pipe into the fuel tank, and directly connected the other end with the car-mounted water bucket. Lin Lin took the initiative to take a sip of the water pipe and instantly pumped out the gasoline from the SUV. In this way, we filled the entire bucket, about 30 liters of gasoline!
