Chapter 162 The Boss
"Each vehicle, please report on the progress of supplies collection!"
"The place I'm going to should be a logistics center. There are a lot of tools inside, but no food!" Fu Xiaojian said into the walkie-talkie.
"Xiao Luo and I went to the library. We didn't bring anything, just two bags of books!"
They discussed it briefly and instinctively headed towards the largest building, only to find it filled with books. There wasn't much time left to go somewhere else.
They had no choice but to pick out some of the intact ones and pack them, so they didn't leave empty-handed.
"What kinds of books are they?" Fu Xiaojian asked.
"They look like some agricultural books," Li Miao added, glancing at them quickly.
"Very good! Keeping it might come in a great use!" Upon hearing this, Fu Xiaojian was pleasantly surprised.
Agriculture is the foundation of the nation, and now it is equally crucial to the survival of the fleet.
Supply depots will eventually lose their value; agricultural development by the convoy is the path forward.
"Jiao Jiao, where are you?"
"My aunts and I went to the dormitory! We have a lot of clothes and bedding, but they're all men's style." This made Jiao Jiao a little sad. It would have been better if they had gone to the girls' dormitory!
"I went to the underground parking garage! I emptied two buckets of oil and towed a car that was full of gas! But I didn't have the key, and the battery seemed to be low. I tried to start it for a long time but couldn't." Wang Hu said helplessly.
The anti-theft systems in cars in 2035 are incredibly advanced; in more expensive cars, the car's infotainment system will automatically verify the identity of anyone who enters.
Without the owner's permission, the car's infotainment system will not only lock itself but also sound an alarm.
Sometimes even he, a seasoned repairman, can't handle it.
"Impressive!" Fu Xiaojian breathed a sigh of relief. With this gasoline, the convoy would at least not be paralyzed.
"We went to the canteen and the security office, but all the food was spoiled. There were only several large barrels of cooking oil, enough for the convoy to eat for several months!"
"We've also collected quite a few shields and batons from the security department! That's enough to deal with ordinary people!"
"Brother Dao, Brother Dao, what about you?" After hearing Tashan's reply, the little girl excitedly asked Xu Si about his gains.
"Aren't there still soldiers around?" Xu Si thought, "There's an ambulance ahead of me."
"Me? I went to a seedling base, there was a germplasm bank inside, so I took some of everything, all seeds, I don't even know what kind of seeds they are!"
Xu Si gasped. He had already gained a lot, but compared to Shao Bing, it was hard to say who had gained more.
The fleet currently lacks the necessary conditions for engaging in agriculture.
But what about the future?
Back then, the seeds that Shao Bing brought out were worth a fortune.
Earth is now a desolate wasteland, devoid of even a blade of green grass; the potatoes Jiao Jiao planted have long since died.
If Xu Si hadn't taken care of the potatoes he planted from time to time, they probably would have ended up in a similar state.
The entire planet Earth seems to have lost the conditions for plant growth.
Xu Si has yet to see a single patch of green belonging to nature.
Therefore, the seeds that Shao Bing brought out were especially precious.
However, at present, it seems that only Xu Si and Fu Xiaojian have realized the value of the seeds that Shao Bing brought out.
To truly appreciate the value of these seeds, we'll likely have to wait until a botanist or agronomist joins the convoy.
This corresponds to the books that Li Miao and the other person brought out.
Could it be that Fu Xiaojian's "Prosperity" attribute is at work?
"Brother Dao, Brother Dao! It's your turn!" the little girl chattered excitedly.
"Me? Do you know what you should call me now?" Xu Si pretended.
"What?" The little girl was stunned.
"Please call me boss! I emptied an entire store!" Xu Sijing waited for the little fangirl's adoration.
"Bullshit, I saw a big black pot hanging on the back of your car. Why did you go to the store?" the little girl questioned.
"Did I tell you that I also emptied out an entire Cainiao Post Station?"
"Really?"
Jiao Jiao's intuition told her that Dao Ge never seemed to lie.
"Wait here, let me take a look!"
Xu Si raised his can of cola and took another swig, then slowly turned around and said, "Brother Dao's car is packed full of bread, biscuits, instant noodles, drinks... he has everything!"
"Oh, by the way, Brother Dao also has canned strawberries, canned oranges, and canned yellow peaches. Would you like to try some?"
"Ah...? Ah...? Ah...?" The little girl couldn't even utter a word of refusal.
Because she was afraid that what Xu Si said was true, and then she would actually fall for it.
Even more outrageous than the little girl was the suppressed gasps and sounds of swallowing coming from the walkie-talkie.
These things, which were commonplace before the apocalypse, are now more tempting than gold.
Even the usually composed Fu Xiaojian's breathing quickened.
His only solace is his hand-ground coffee, which he drinks little by little, and now he doesn't have much left.
Now, even a bag of Quechao placed in front of him is more valuable than gold.
"Brother Dao! Brother Dao! I want to eat canned oranges!" Jiao Jiao wished she could jump from the pickup truck into Xu Si's car immediately.
"Dream on," Xu Si said slowly.
"One weird item dropped in exchange for one can; I'll give you a discount on bread and biscuits."
"Ah! You're a shrewd businessman!" Jiao Jiao huffed angrily.
But her eyes were already darting around, calculating what she still had left. She had collected quite a lot of supplies when the mine convoy assembled.
"I'll trade you some cured meat."
"Two!"
"Two it is!"
The little girl is going all out; she might as well split one into two, since Brother Dao didn't say how big the two pieces would be!
Fu Xiaojian suppressed his excitement and regained his composure, "We'll exchange positions when we rest. Now, the convoy continues on its way. Our destination—to find a gas station or a large supermarket."
The convoy regrouped and continued on its way in the drizzle, and Xu Si's harvest served as an encouragement to everyone.
However, the search for a gas station was not smooth. For some reason, the convoy did not see a single gas station after entering the city.
Is it because it's too close to the city center?
Suddenly, without any warning.
Under Xu Si's star trail perception.
They came not from the front, nor from the rear, but from... all directions!
Twisted, translucent "water snakes" covered the entire convoy, densely packed and overwhelming!
Fu Xiaojian suddenly slammed on the brakes, bringing the convoy to an instant stop on the road.
"Something's weird!" Fu Xiaojian warned immediately.
"Don't move," Xu Si said immediately into the walkie-talkie.
His star-like eyes did not detect any strange energy flow in these 'water snakes'.
Furthermore, Yi Yi's malicious perception was not triggered, which means that these guys may not be weird.
If it's something supernatural, it's impossible for it not to have malicious intent towards humans.
At this moment, the "water snakes" seemed to be completely out of commission, and after surrounding the convoy, they made no further moves.
