Chapter 17: Collecting Supplies 2
"Xu Fei, which one should we take?" Lin Rongrong asked.
When he heard the question, Xu Fei frowned.
If possible, he wanted to take them all.
Unfortunately, neither he nor Lin Rongrong was a space superpower.
Because of this, he could only select one car, but he couldn't choose carelessly.
After all, they were in an apocalypse.
Before long, fuel would become a problem, and no one would be able to sustain fuel guzzlers.
'We need a sturdy vehicle with enough space for supplies and daily necessities, but the car can't be too fuel-consuming.' He thought.
After considering for fifteen minutes, Xu Fei was torn between a Mercedes AMG G63 and an Inkas Sentry Civilian APC.
However, he didn't know the fuel consumption of the Inkas so he settled on the Mercedes.
'Although the Mercedes consumes more fuel than the average SUV, it is armoured and has a large cargo capacity. If we fold the third-row seats, the storage space will be even larger. We can also put supplies in the second row. Additionally, the seats have been modified and can be used as beds.' He thought and subconsciously nodded.
"Let' s choose this one." Xu Fei pointed at the Mercedes, and Lin Rongrong nodded.
After choosing, Xu Fei and Lin Rongrong looked at the masked couple at the opposite end of the back row.
"That RV looks good." Lin Rongrong stated, and Mo Chenxuan agreed.
Unfortunately, they couldn't choose it given the circumstances.
"Let's go."
"Good."
Soon after, Xu Fei went to the manager's office, retrieved a set of car keys, and returned to the exhibition hall.
After nodding to Mo Chenxuan and Qin Wu, Xu Fei and Lin Rongrong carefully drove out of the exhibition hall.
Seeing this, Qin Wu sighed in relief.
"They finally left." She said and continued.
"Brother Chenxuan, I will collect one car. You can collect the rest."
"Okay."
Fifteen minutes later, all the cars were collected into the spaces, and the two left the exhibition hall.
"If I am not mistaken, the middle building is the modification hall. There should still be unfinished cars and parts in the building. Let's go there."
After that, the two collected everything in the modification hall before going to the office building.
In the office building, they found many snacks, bottled water, noodles, tissue paper, and other daily necessities.
However, the two didn't take any of them and instead left them for future survivors.
After leaving Alter Ego Auto Customs, Mo Chenxuan drove the hummer towards T-Shop's fulfilment centre.
"I am relieved we got so many cars, but we don't have enough fuel." Qin Wu sighed.
"The cars we collected at Heishe Mountain Pass and the ones we just took all have fuel. If we siphon the fuel, the total amount won't be low. Also, we will collect as much fuel as we can in the coming days." Mo Chenxuan started and then continued.
"Later, we will go to a refinery and collect whatever we can."
"In our previous life, the military and a few teams went on a mission to collect fuel at the YS petrochemicals refinery." Qin Wu stated with a thoughtful expression.
"We must join a team to participate in that mission."
"What do you think about creating our own team?" Mo Chenxuan asked, and Qin Wu smiled.
"I am all for it." She said.
"Okay." Mo Chenxuan also smiled.
Three hours later, the two entered T-Shop's fulfilment centre.
From public news, the centre was about twenty thousand square metres.
It had a seven-storey warehouse, three office buildings and three parking lots.
When the hummer drove through the main entrance, dozens of zombies ran towards the car.
"This centre has four thousand employees at any given time. We should expect resistance." Mo Chenxuan reminded.
"I know." Qin Wu nodded.
After that, the two exited the car and began dealing with the zombies.
With each chop, a zombie's head was harvested.
Unfortunately, the zombies were still at level zero and had no crystal cores.
Three minutes later, all the zombies were killed, but the two didn't linger.
Without delay, Mo Chenxuan collected the car, and the two walked into the fulfilment centre.
While walking, Qin Wu looked to the left and couldn't help but be surprised.
"So many cars." She exclaimed.
"This should be the employee parking lot." Mo Chenxuan said.
"Mmm." Qin Wu nodded and soon continued.
"There should be survivors in the warehouse and office buildings. Let's not take the cars for now."
"Other than this parking lot, there is another for inbound trailers and one for outbound trailers. For now, we should clean the zombies in the parking lots and outside. This way, the survivors won't be afraid to leave when the time comes."
"I agree. After they leave, we won't have to be cautious when collecting Supplies."
"Exactly." Mo Chenxuan smiled.
"If the survivors are smart, they will take as many supplies as they can. That way, they will have a way to survive in the apocalypse." Qin Wu stated, but Mo Chenxuan sighed.
"Ideally, that should be the outcome. However, ordinary people can't protect large supplies. Unless they find a secret place to hide the supplies or someone to help them, the things won't stay in their hands."
"You are right." Qin Wu agreed but didn't dwell on it.
Ultimately, she and Mo Chenxuan couldn't and didn't want to protect everyone.
When the time came, their kindness would end at allowing the survivors to take supplies from the warehouse. What would happen after that was none of their business.
"After we collect the supplies here, we will almost be ready to leave for city B." Mo Chenxuan said.
"Brother Chenxuan, tomorrow is the third day of the apocalypse." Qin Wu suddenly stated, but Mo Chenxuan understood.
On the third night of the apocalypse, every part of the world would experience heavy rainfall.
In their previous life, people were excited and relieved to see the rainfall.
After all, it was a hot summer, and the rain could relieve the heat.
However, that didn't happen.
