Chapter 124 - 116: The Salvation Army’s Discovery
Li Tie felt awkward on the spot, he did not expect that what was being played through the loudspeaker would be this.
Behind the wall, Li Yuan heard the sound and almost burst out laughing, while the scruffy person next to her smiled slightly.
The sound was very penetrating and had a bit of an accent.
In the open space in front of the gas station, the bodies had already been devoured by the zombies, which initially stood blindly in place, howling as if venting their frustration at not having gotten to the bodies earlier.
Now, with the sound of the loudspeaker, the zombies seemed to have found a target.
They all started running towards the direction of the drone.
The drone had just taken off from alongside the new energy vehicle, and Li Tie, who was in the car, looked through the window to see the zombies running in his direction. He hurriedly hid himself under the car.
Then, looking at the screen, he remotely controlled the drone to fly to the side.
In front of the gas station were several buildings, with Ding Jiu and his group on the opposite side in the tallest building.
To the side of the gas station was an open space, and to the right was a residential area.
To the left of the gas station was a river, and beyond the river were farmlands.
Li Tie remotely controlled the drone to fly towards the farmland on the left.
The zombies closely followed behind, a large mass of them densely packed, following behind. Some zombies were exceptionally crazed, but they couldn't fly. Unable to grab the drone in the sky, they could only stand there howling.
"Tiezi, lead the zombies further away. We're getting ready to come out," Li Yu spoke into the walkie-talkie.
"Okay, big brother, this drone can only fly for an hour at most, we should hurry," Li Tie looked outside through the car window, noticing that the majority of the zombies had already left.
Only a few left were stupidly standing in places splattered with blood.
Li Yu came down from the building, vaulted over, came down from the wall, ran over to the gas station, and with a swift motion of his blade, he eliminated the two remaining zombies.
Li Yuan and the scruffy person followed behind.
Li Tie also got out of the car, holding the remote control and spoke to Li Yu, "Big brother, I have led the zombies to a farther place. They should be about 1 kilometer away from us now. I'm leading them about 3 kilometers away, should that be fine?"
Li Yu nodded and asked him to continue operating.
Ding Jiu also came down from the building opposite. Zhao Dapao also wanted to come down, initially being on top of the building, but was stopped by Li Yu.
In this situation, it was best to have someone watching, to respond promptly to any situations that might arise.
Thus, Li Yu took out the electric pump, although it was rushed earlier, it had also been stored secretly in the supermarket's back restroom and fortunately hadn't been discovered.
Li Yu and Ding Jiu opened the fuel tank and then inserted the hose.
The oil tanker was empty, originally there was fuel inside the tank, but it had been siphoned off by a group of people, now only the base was left.
They drove the oil tanker over, started the electric pump and began to pump fuel.
The gas station was Level Three. The underground storage had about 60 cubic meters of oil.
Li Yu and his group definitely couldn't take it all in one try, they weren't greedy, so they decided to take it in several turns.
Along with the sound of the electric pump, the oil underground at the gas station started to be pumped continuously into the oil tanker.
Li Yu carefully examined the oil tanker, then had Ding Jiu continue to monitor the electric pump.
He walked towards the vehicle, planning to drive an electric car towards the last vehicle left behind by the Salvation Army.
He didn't understand this Salvation Army, he wanted to know more about them.
Seeing Li Yu get on the electric car, the ragamuffin beside him said, "I'll go with you."
Li Yu nodded and did not refuse, he looked at Li Yuan beside him and instructed, "Keep an eye on the surroundings. If there are a lot of zombies, run to the house where we just hid."
Li Yuan looked at his brother with some concern and asked, "Brother, where are you going?"
"I plan to go over there to see, that so-called Salvation Army, to see if they have left anything behind. Don't worry, it's not far, just there, you see, less than two kilometers."
Li Yuan stretched his head and said, "Brother, be careful."
Li Yu did not speak again, opened the car door, and the ragamuffin sat in the passenger seat. Dressed in light sportswear, with her hair clean and tidy; in the drizzling rain, she still carried a hint of fragrance.
Her hair had a few dewdrops, her delicate facial features wore a cautious expression, and she glanced around from time to time.
A pair of plump thighs without an ounce of extra fat, filled instead with a sense of strength, without looking awkward.
The car door closed, but the vehicle had not yet started. The ragamuffin turned her head and saw Li Yu looking at her, somewhat cheekily, "Aren't we going to check it out?"
Li Yu, smiling, said, "I didn't expect you to look quite pretty once cleaned up."
Was that a compliment?
After hearing this, the ragamuffin felt somewhat pleased, but she felt that this wasn't a very flattering compliment. She rolled her eyes, but the corners of her mouth slightly lifted, revealing her inner feelings at that moment.
"Ragamuffin, it's good for you to keep yourself like this."
"Oh." The ragamuffin responded indifferently.
The car started; this long-range version of EA had an acceleration of 4 seconds per hundred kilometers and a smooth operation. The large screen exuded a strong sense of technology, but since there was no network, its interactive capabilities were not showcased.
However, the advantage of an electric vehicle is that it is very quiet upon starting, and also while driving.
Soon, Li Yu drove to a somewhat dilapidated vehicle.
Approaching, it was visible that the vehicle's chassis underneath was twisted, and the windows were shattered.
Inside were two zombies, seemingly stuck, unable to move or get inside.
Li Yu took care of the two zombies, one with each strike of his knife.
"Keep an eye on our surroundings; I'll check this car," said Li Yu, glancing back at the ragamuffin.
Immediately after, Li Yu pulled out a small knife and then peered inside the car from the passenger side. The door handle was distorted, the leather at the driver's seat was torn, and there was blood everywhere inside, along with some very scattered bits of flesh.
After observing for a while, Li Yu opened the car door and began to search inside.
Two spears, which appeared to be made of fine steel, had their grips wrapped with anti-slip cloth. There was a somewhat oddly shaped scimitar; just the material alone would be valuable pre-apocalypse.
However, now, the scimitar would not be as efficient as the spears in killing zombies, but it was still decent for killing people, so Li Yu took the scimitar.
He searched further and suddenly came across a walkie-talkie. Li Yu turned off the walkie-talkie and handed it to the ragamuffin beside him.
Finally, after another search, he saw the food they had carried, three small packs, all identical in material and appearance, containing exactly the same food.
Li Yu's eyes slightly narrowed.
Weapons of fine quality, uniform equipment, strict management.
This Salvation Army, it seemed... not weak!
