#807 - Chapter 807 Minkang Community
Longyan City.
The time is noon.
Li Bowen and the others, still on the run, were becoming increasingly anxious.
The snow outside not only hadn't stopped, but seemed to be getting heavier and heavier!
This is troublesome!
In just two hours, a thin layer of snow had appeared on the roads outside. Although it didn't affect driving much yet, if the snow continued to fall, it was foreseeable that the roads would soon be blocked!
And there was an even more terrible situation!
"Xiao Liu, how much fuel do we have left!?"
Li Bowen's face no longer had its previous composure, replaced by a solemn expression as he asked Liu Qing.
The latter, who had been glancing at the fuel gauge from time to time, naturally knew very well and blurted out almost without thinking:
"The last bar of fuel disappeared five minutes ago. Based on our experience, the car will break down after driving about 30-40 kilometers in this condition!"
!!!
Even though the people in the car were somewhat mentally prepared, they were still shocked when they heard this news.
With so little range left, they couldn't go far at all!
"The snow on the road outside is getting thicker and thicker. Even though we've installed anti-skid chains, we still can't drive very fast. Plus, this car consumes a lot of fuel. I estimate we'll be immobilized at any time after driving another 20 kilometers!"
Liu Qing's face was extremely grave. Only as the driver did he know how tense the situation was now.
In such an unfamiliar city, being trapped on the road would be like a nightmare.
In the current temperature, those zombies would still come out and move around to some extent. They would only be completely frozen and sealed when the temperature dropped below minus twenty degrees Celsius.
On the way here, they had already encountered five or six waves of zombies walking on the road.
With the sun gone, these ghostly things thought night had fallen and actually came out of their hiding places ahead of time to move around.
The situation was extremely bad.
"What do we do!? We've been paying attention to the cars on the roadside all the way, but we've looked everywhere and there's no fuel left! We can't find any fuel to add!?"
Xiao Fei sat in the back row, holding his head and wailing.
After spending this time together, everyone was somewhat familiar with each other and could communicate and express their opinions normally.
In the morning, when the car was fleeing, they had encountered many abandoned vehicles on the road. They had also gotten out of the car to check and gamble on whether there would be any surprises.
Unfortunately, the fuel tanks of those cars had been completely drained.
This was the situation in the second year of the apocalypse. Survivors would not let go of this industrial blood, and it had all been collected in advance for use in various aspects.
"This Longyan City is one of the top five cities in the Minnan Province in terms of size. It's estimated that some relatively powerful forces have emerged, and the cars outside have probably been looted clean!"
As a native of Minnan, Liu Qing was somewhat familiar with this place.
His words undoubtedly added to the seriousness of the atmosphere.
If they couldn't find fuel, they would be trapped in this city.
Relying on their feet or riding to leave?
Think too much.
The cold wind and rain and snow outside would teach them a lesson.
It was estimated that humans would become hypothermic, get sick, and collapse completely before they could walk even ten kilometers.
The terrible situation wasn't just the fuel problem.
"We don't have much food either. I estimate that after eating lunch, we'll at most be able to eat a little more in the evening before we run out of food! In short, we need to find a way to solve the current problem as soon as possible!"
Yao Lei, sitting in the middle row, added again.
The atmosphere in the car was extremely heavy.
In such a city, they had no fuel, no shelter, and no food, and there were likely pursuers constantly approaching from behind!
The situation was simply terrible!
"Does anyone know this city!? Can you talk about any buildings nearby! We'll see if we can find a way to break the deadlock!"
The deputy driver, Team Leader Li, thought about it and said.
Now they could only see if they could find corresponding supplies from this city, otherwise even continuing to escape would be a luxury.
The people in the car couldn't help but fall into thought.
Xiao Fei, Xiao Yun, and Liu Qing were all from Minnan, but they used to live in other places, so they weren't very familiar with Longyan City.
As for Team Leader Li and Yao Lei, who had lived in Guangnan Province for many years, they didn't know Longyan City even more.
"I used to come to Longyan City on business trips. I vaguely remember a few places where there might be fuel or food! You can consult them!"
Just when everyone thought there would be no gains, Brother Qin suddenly spoke.
He had been in many cities after retiring from the army, and he had indeed stayed in Longyan City for a while.
Everyone was overjoyed and quickly urged Qin Wanjiang to introduce them quickly.
"Overall, this is a relatively ordinary city. I remember there were gas stations, residential areas, elementary schools, middle schools, and other buildings in several places..."
Brother Qin said all the places he could think of in one breath.
Um...
These places did have a chance of containing supplies, but after such a long time, perhaps many places had already been visited by nearby survivors.
The place they needed to find was a place that ordinary survivors dared not go to, but was very likely to have fuel and food.
"Tell me more about the residential areas you just mentioned!"
Just when everyone was still considering where was most suitable, Team Leader Li suddenly interjected.
Hearing this, Brother Qin naturally quickly explained several places.
Soon Team Leader Li identified one of the targets!
"It's this Minkang Residential Area!"
The Minkang Residential Area mentioned by Qin Wanjiang was nothing more than a residential area built in Longyan City a few years ago. It was said that it was already full of people, and it was also a commercial and residential building.
"Then let's choose this one! According to Mr. Qin, this residential area is only about 7 kilometers away from us. It has 1-2 floors of underground parking lots, and the first floor has many commercial shops, including catering!"
"These spaces are relatively large and may contain a lot of zombies, making it difficult for other survivors to enter and search for food and supplies. It is the fastest and most likely place for us to find fuel and food!"
Li Bowen immediately decided!
Everyone quickly thought about it in their hearts and soon agreed with Team Leader Li's statement.
Indeed.
Other targets were either too far away or very likely to have been visited by others. At this time, the car could only travel the last short distance, and they were not very suitable as targets.
Merely.
The target chosen by Team Leader Li was very likely to contain a large number of zombies!
As a commercial and residential building, it must have been overcrowded when the mutation occurred. If there had been no special circumstances, the zombies inside were likely to still be staying there.
Did they really want to choose this extremely dangerous target?
"We can't hesitate any longer! Let's take a gamble! Believe in ourselves!"
Team Leader Li felt his body recovering a lot. Today was much better than yesterday, almost reaching 80-90% of his peak!
No time to continue choosing.
Take a gamble!
