"This gas station is out of gasoline again."

Under the scorching sun, Dongsheng panted heavily and said to Ju Tianrui in the car.

A convoy of dozens of people stopped to refuel at a gas station on the edge of a road in Hubei Province.

But it's obvious that this gas station has no gasoline.

Ju Tianrui sighed imperceptibly and said to Dongsheng who got out of the car: "Get in the car first. It's too hot outside the car. Come up quickly. Wait until you get to the front and look around. You can always find it."

Dongsheng wiped his sweat, kicked the gas station at the door of the gas station with some resentment, and then got in the car.

After getting in the car, the air-conditioning in the car blew in, which made him feel much better, but he was still worried inside, so he said to Ju Tianrui:

"Battal Commander, we have already found four gas stations, and they are all empty. If we don't get refills today, we won't be able to leave tomorrow."

Ju Tianrui frowned. Of course he knew this problem, but there was really no better way now.

I can only go ahead and try my luck again.

They have been away from Chengzizhoutou for three days.

Along the way, we drove very slowly, covering several hundred kilometers in three days.

Although it was hot during the day, there were few zombies outside. While walking and walking along the way, I found some supplies in some remote places, including some food, but very little.

Although the weather is hot, it is also good for survivors.

Although there is a risk of heatstroke and death from heat stroke when going out to search for supplies in such a high temperature, it is also because of the high temperature that many places that were originally occupied by zombies can now be visited.

If you don't go out, you will starve to death.

Although it is very hot when you go out, although your body is very uncomfortable, and you may even die from heat stroke, as long as you are well protected, there won't be any big problems.

Instead of starving to death, it's better to take advantage of this opportunity.

However, the apocalypse has been going on for so long, and places that seem to have supplies have been searched round after round.

They can only try their luck.

Not far away from Ju Tianrui and others, there was a group of people who were also very hot. These people came out from Chengzizhou to follow Ju Tianrui and the others.

One of the men, who had a broken little finger, sat in the car and looked at the soldiers in front of him.

He said with some helplessness: "Check how much fuel there is. These people feel like they are walking us around. They have only walked so far in three days. Go ahead!"

After saying that, he banged the car window hard, making a loud noise.

"Brother, don't get excited, be careful if they discover us." said a man behind him with a broken eyebrow.

"Ha! Do you think they don't know that we have been following you? It's a joke, these people are very thieves. They filled up the gas station at the gas station they passed by and just drove away without leaving anything for us.

If we hadn't brought some extra gasoline with us when we left Orange Island, we would have run out of gas by now."

This man who is missing a little finger is the leader of this gang, nicknamed Nine Fingers.

Originally, he didn't want to take on this mission, but who told him to have some small moments with Hai Chao over at Chengzi Island.

Haichao sent him out directly to do this thankless job.

On such a hot day, wouldn't it be nice to stay inside the base to enjoy the coolness? You have to come here and suffer such a heavy punishment.

Duanmei felt full of resentment and didn't know how to answer, so he simply got out of the car to check how much gas was left.

They came out with 15 people, their main purpose was to follow Ju Tianrui and the others.

Who knew that after coming out, it would get hotter day by day.

Yesterday during the day, a car's tire was blown out by the sun, so the tire had to be replaced.

They were cautious at the beginning, but later on, they basically followed openly.

The two teams were less than 300 meters apart, and Ju Tianrui never paid attention to them or waited for them.

Anyway, it’s just like that, if you want to follow, you can follow.

Even if you don't want to go with me, I'll be happy to do it.

After checking it out, Duanmei got into the car with a tangled look on his face.

Jiu Zhi saw his constipated expression and had a bad intuition in his heart.

Asked: "What's your expression? How much gas do you have left?"

"Big brother, I just checked all five cars, and now the total volume of them all is less than 200 liters. The two oil drums we brought have been filled. That's all left."

Jiu Zhi did not scold him, but calculated in his mind that one of their cars can hold 80 liters and can run about 500 kilometers.

Now with five cars, on average, one car has less than 40 liters and can only run 250 kilometers.

This little oil is definitely not enough.

Thinking of this, Jiu Zhi glanced at Ju Tianrui's team in front with some hatred, blaming them for having to take a detour and run around without giving them a chance to refuel.

If they want to follow, they will naturally follow behind.

But Ju Tianrui and the others often stopped and rested, without giving them a chance to cheer.

Following Ju Tianrui and the others, there was no way to replenish any gasoline.

Jiuzhi thought for a while and finally said: "Let Lao Huang's car be lost. That car is in bad condition. Let the four people in his car spread out to other cars. One less car.

It can also save some fuel.”

The relationship between Duanmei and Lao Huang was not good, so he made up his mind not to let Lao Huang get into his car later.

So he curled his lips and said:

"Okay. I'm going to talk to them right now. If we continue like this, brother, we won't be able to hold on for long. How about that? Since Ju Tianrui and the others already know that we are following, why don't we discuss it with them and borrow some from them?

Oil."

When Jiuzhi heard his suggestion, he looked at Duanmei as if he were a fool, and said rudely:

"Are you a fool? What are you thinking about? They wish we couldn't keep up with them, so why would they lend us gasoline?"

"This group of people can kill people in Chengzizhou. We are lucky to be alive until now."

"It's really unlucky to say that taking this job has brought bad luck to eight generations of my ancestors."

Duanmei thought of how Ju Tianrui had angrily shot a refugee before. If they really angered him, they would definitely be killed.

How could the fifteen of them fight against these professionally trained regular troops?

It's not even enough for one dish.

Thinking of this, Duanmei broke into cold sweat and said to Jiuzhi:

"Well, brother, why don't we go back? While we still have gas, we can reduce the number of cars by one, and we can barely sustain it until we go back."

"Go back? What are we going to tell you when we go back? Hai Chao doesn't like me. If I go back empty-handed and without any news, I might get some bad news from him."

Duanmei felt a little scared when she heard what the boss said.

They are very aware of Haichao's methods.

Cruel and ruthless.

There was another person in the car.

A middle-aged man sitting there had been listening to their conversation quietly. At this time, he finally couldn't help but say:

"Jiuzhi, we are in a dilemma now. It is so hot today. If we continue, there will not be enough gasoline. We have tried it before and sent people out to look for it, but they haven't found the gasoline yet. Ju Tianrui and the others are about to leave.

I almost lost them last time.

Think about it, what will be the result if we continue to follow? It is very likely that there is no gas behind us, and then the car breaks down halfway.

We have also lost the people. We also have no gasoline. If we want to return to Chengzizhoutou by then, we may not be able to go back."

The middle-aged man is very rational, and his guess about the future is likely to come true.

Jiuzhi also knows this, but precisely because he knows this, he is even more irritable, neither on the left nor on the right.

So Jiuzhi said impatiently:

"I know everything you said, so do you have any better ideas? Should we go back and tell Mr. Gan that we can't follow because we have no gasoline?

Believe it or not, if we really said that, none of us would be able to walk around in circles."

When the middle-aged man heard what Jiuzhi said, thoughts flashed in his eyes, and he said in a tentative tone:

"Jiuzhi, what if we tell them when we go back that we saw Xiao Jun and the others?"

"Huh?" Jiuzhi frowned.

"But we obviously didn't see Xiao Jun and the others." After Jiuzhi finished speaking, he looked at the middle-aged man's eyes, and suddenly, a flash of lightning appeared in his mind.

"You mean to lie to them and we found Xiao Jun and the others."

After Jiu Zhi finished speaking, he frowned, thought for a while, and then continued:

"But, paper can't stop the fire. If Gan Shang and others send more people over, we still can't hide it from them. Besides, there are so many of us, what if someone leaks something?"

The middle-aged man said thiefly:
