I took Sam in a taxi and came all the way to the city. First I went to a car rental company and rented a truck for three days. I paid the rent and a deposit, and left a spare ID card with the receptionist.
, Gu Zhuo drove away in the truck.
Fortunately, when Gu Zhuo was taking the driver's license test, something went wrong and he got a B2 certificate by the way, and now he can drive this big truck.
Driving a large truck with many barrels of fuel tanks in the back, Gu Zhuo drove all the way to the gas station.
When the gas station staff heard that Gu Zhuo wanted to pump 3,000 liters of diesel and 3,000 liters of gasoline at once, they all looked at him in surprise.
They checked with Gu Zhuo over and over again whether they wanted to pump so much oil. After getting Gu Zhuo's tireless confirmation, the gas station staff took the oil drum from his truck and started filling it. Although they didn't know what the young man wanted.
What to do, but the more gas he pumps, the more welcome such a customer will be at the gas station.
According to Zhuo Zhuo's instructions, the barrels containing diesel and gasoline must be separated and cannot be mixed up. The staff at the gas station did not dare to be careless at all.
Waiting to fill up the gas, especially with so much gas, is a long process. Gu Zhuo was bored and saw the supermarket inside the gas station, so he walked in to see if there was anything useful that he could buy and take back.
The supermarket in the gas station only sells a few things. Gu Zhuo had already stocked up in the Fortress of Doom. But adhering to the principle that supplies are never too much, only too little, he still took some drinking water.
Toiletries, a few bags of instant noodles... In the last two full bags, a few bottles of energy drinks were stuffed.
The cashier who was sorting out the shelves in the supermarket was surprised when he saw Gu Zhuo buying so many things. He couldn't help but look the young man up and down, thinking that he looked like he was ready to run away.
Gu Zhuo didn't care about other people's eyes at all and came to the checkout counter with two big bags. There was only one cashier standing at the checkout counter and there were no other customers.
"pound!"
Gu Zhuo put two full plastic bags on the cashier's counter, making a loud noise. The cashier looked up and saw so many things, but he didn't look surprised at all.
She took the items out of the bag one by one and began to scan the QR code to calculate the cost.
The cashier was a young girl. Gu Zhuo only glanced up at her and was shocked by her unparalleled beauty.
Gu Zhuo is already considered a straight man who is straighter than steel. He has never been in love or had any thoughts in this regard. Ever since he was a child, he has never had the slightest interest in the beauties of any class or school. To use simple words
To sum it up in one sentence, it is “without any worldly desires”.
Since his parents passed away, he has been the only one left in his world. If not for this doomsday crisis, he might have chosen to be a bodyguard all the time and save enough pension money to support himself after retirement.
A dog lives with a dog until death.
Unexpectedly, with such a hard heart, Gu Zhuo would be shocked by a cashier at a gas station after working as a bodyguard for many famous female stars.
But it only took a moment for him to recover from the shock: she was just beautiful, and at the end of the day, being beautiful might not only help her survive, but it might even make her suffer a tragic experience...
Forget it, don't think too much, Gu Zhuo has no time to care about the joys and sorrows of others, what he has to do now is to ensure his own safety in the end.
The cashier helped him scan the codes of each item, calculated the cost, and helped him put all the items back into the bag.
Gu Zhuo raised his eyes and saw several rows of cigarettes on the counter behind her. He had prepared a lot of wine on his doomsday fortress, but not many cigarettes.
It's not that Gu Zhuo loves smoking and drinking. He doesn't have such a hobby. It's just that no matter what the doomsday survival rules are, he likes to teach people to prepare more cigarettes and alcohol. After all, these things can come in handy when exchanging supplies in the future.
If Gu Zhuo is not the only survivor after the apocalypse, and he happens to be short of something, material exchange is indispensable. By then, tobacco and alcohol may come in handy.
Thinking of this, Gu Zhuo said to the cashier:
"Well, help me get a few more cigarettes. I want good cigarettes and put them in a new bag."
Hearing this, the cashier responded without any emotion, took out a big bag from under the counter, turned around and picked up a dozen good cigarettes on the counter.
Her voice sounded cold and cold, just like her appearance, with a cold and alienated feeling like a snow-capped mountain. Even though she was a cashier, she could not block her unique temperament at all.
But she does things quite neatly.
After adding the price of the cigarettes, Gu Zhuo paid the money, carried three bags, and led Sam out of the supermarket.
The staff who cheered him up saw Gu Zhuo carrying three big bags full of stuff, and finally couldn't help their curiosity. While their men were busy, they asked:
"Brother, you pumped so much gas and bought so many things. What are you going to do? Visit relatives, or go on an adventure?"
Gu Zhuo naturally couldn't tell him about the end of the world, so he chatted with him casually.
After going on and on for a while, the six thousand liters of oil were finally filled up. Gu Zhuo paid the money, confirmed that the diesel and gasoline had been packed, stepped on the accelerator of the truck, and left without looking back.
Gas station.
This trip cost him 55,000 yuan, and his funds were immediately reduced by half. If the remaining 40,000 yuan was not enough for him to buy something, he could only consider getting a loan...
After returning to the warehouse, the first thing he did was to get out of the car with Sam in his arms and run towards the Doomsday Fortress in the warehouse. Although he knew that the Doomsday Fortress would not be stolen or anything would happen to him, Gu Zhuo had to see it with his own eyes.
Only then did I feel at ease.
Seeing that the Doomsday Fortress was still parked in the warehouse, majestic and majestic, like a steel monster, Gu Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved. He walked to the front of the truck and unloaded the oil drum. The next thing to do was
Big Head: He wants to pour all these 6,000 liters of oil into the oil barrels in the Fortress of Doom!
At the gas station, several staff working together were not very tired, but now Gu Zhuo was carrying the oil barrel back and forth and pouring oil, all by himself. He worked for a while and stopped for a while. The amount of exercise was really great.
Finally, after working for several hours, the diesel barrels and gasoline barrels in the Doomsday Fortress were all filled up.
Gu Zhuo was sweating all over. Seeing that his doomsday fortress had been filled with oil, without saying a word, he quickly rushed to the car and took a hot bath. After taking a hot bath, the suitcase was full of petroleum smell.
The clothes were so smelly that he didn't want to put them in the washing machine, so he threw them away.
After taking a shower and cleaning Sam's body, Gu Zhuo continued to work on dinner. He didn't cook very well, so he always ate as simply as possible to ensure nutrition and stomachability.
While eating, he turned on his mobile phone and looked at the chat history of his friends in the "Tomorrow's Battle" group chat.
The chat in the group is still about the doomsday. So and so has bought some new survival tools, and the safety of the self-built safe house has been improved. Fish who loves cats also found an old vehicle-mounted military photoelectric reconnaissance aircraft.
It is said that it took a lot of effort and of course a lot of money.
After reading this hastily, Gu Zhuo suddenly became curious about these people.
These people in the group have never posted about their family situations, and Gu Zhuo doesn't know whether they live alone or have families of their own.
Apart from the weak connection with this group, Gu Zhuo also had no idea who they were as people, let alone whether their measures could help them survive in the apocalypse.
Thinking of this, Gu Zhuo shook his head silently and sighed. Forget it, take care of yourself first. Then everything will be left to fate. No matter what, he must insist on surviving.
...
Time passed so unconsciously, and there was only one day left before the end.
Gu Zhuo lives in his own doomsday fortress, fills up the fuel tank, and carries hundreds of liters of fuel with him for backup. Although these hundreds of liters of fuel are only a drop in the ocean compared to his large fuel tank, he carries more
If so, Gu Zhuo's rear storage box would smell like gasoline, and he was afraid it would affect his food storage.
The solar battery is also fully charged, and the large portable RV power bank and generator are all ready to go.
A total of food that can survive for two years, water for one year, and a water filter. He has considered all the issues that can be considered.
Over the past month, many things have happened one after another. The weather has become more and more unstable, and geological disasters have occurred frequently. In one month, all geological disasters in the previous ten years have been staged all over the world.
Fortunately, the place where Gu Zhuo is is still peaceful. But this is just the last calm before the storm.
The World Government seemed to have vaguely anticipated what had happened. Gu Zhuo noticed that many relevant departments were deliberately blocking the news, and some important figures had quietly disappeared long ago, and they might have found a place to hide.
Not only that, but at some point, all supplies that could be purchased in large quantities were shown to be out of stock, as if they had been cut off intentionally. If it weren't for someone like Gu Zhuo who keeps an eye on supplies every day, no one would notice this small detail.
Only ordinary people are still running around for illusory money every day and going to war for trivial interests. They don't know that everything in the world will undergo earth-shaking changes in one day.
"Now we are inserting an emergency news. According to the satellite observatory, the temperature will drop sharply around the world in the next few days, accompanied by severe snowstorms. All people are asked to stay at home and prepare for the cold!"
"Please note that this is not a drill. This is a huge snowstorm sweeping the world. All people are asked to hide at home and prepare for the cold!"
Gu Zhuo watched the female host on the TV announcing the weather forecast. Her expression was very solemn, different from the usual calm and gentle look.
This may be the last news broadcast on the eve of the end.
Tomorrow is the end.
After reading the news, Gu Zhuo turned off the TV. As the disaster was approaching, he felt an inexplicable calmness in his heart. Perhaps it was because he had been uneasy for so long, and now that this emotion had reached its extreme, he had relaxed.
.
He turned on his cell phone and saw that several members in the "Tomorrow's Battle" group chat had already exploded. These people have a very keen sense of crisis.
The snowstorm that swept across the world was unprecedented, and these paranoid people thought of the word "end of the world" for the first time.
Gu Zhuo looked at the group chat messages that were flashing across the screen. His hand paused in front of the screen. Finally, he made up his mind and sent a message like this to the group:
"Everyone, whether you believe me or not, tomorrow is the end of the world. Please make all preparations. You may have been waiting for this day for a long time. I hope you can all survive. Best wishes, 7992."
After sending this message, Gu Zhuo turned off his phone and stopped reading any messages.
He drove the Doomsday Fortress to the open space outside the warehouse, lay down on the double bed, and tightly closed the windows under his feet and above his head with steel privacy panels, as well as the skylight above his head.
Making sure that everything was in order, as if he were a king lying in an invulnerable and hard fortress, Gu Zhuo called Sam to the foot of his bed, and finally touched Sam's head.
Then, he got into bed, closed his eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.
