This night, Xiao Leng slept peacefully next to me.
Early the next morning, I took Xiao Leng out of the living area.
The darkness is really depressing.
Waking up from the darkness, I almost forgot that I was still alive...
There was no light source, and the living area was so dark that I couldn't see my fingers.
In the entire base, there was only a beam of light shining down from the ridge at the top of the vent in the operating area.
The light beam penetrated the darkness, like a spotlight, hitting the lifting platform.
It's eight o'clock in the morning and we've filled our bellies under the light.
Today's tasks are: diesel, clothes, paper and pen.
Target the gas station and search for other supplies along the way.
I checked my pistol and brought enough food and water for the day.
Xiao Leng and Li Chong took a few empty pockets.
Li Xiang brought a 95 rifle from the test area.
He didn't know much about how to use it, but he had no problem with the basics of loading bullets and pulling the trigger.
With weapons, if we collide with the troops again, we at least have room to fight back and escape.
When we opened the heavy iron door, light suddenly poured into the corridor.
Although the light is weak, it still makes our eyesight unable to adapt.
I reached up to cover my eyes.
When we turned back, Old Man Sun waved to us in the corridor.
"Come back soon."
Old Man Sun smiled and stepped back, as if he was gradually being swallowed by darkness.
…
The eyes from the outside are so hot that it stings the skin.
Logically speaking, the sun at eight o'clock in the morning should not be so fierce.
But it should be the impression of a nuclear explosion, which makes the weather very abnormal these days.
Although it is a city, the temperature of the scorching sun is comparable to that of a desert.
"It would be nice to have a car."
Li Xiang held the rifle, raised his eyes and complained.
After only walking for half an hour, my body was already wet with sweat.
"You can't drive even if you have a car." I wiped the sweat from the top of my head, "It's too noisy."
We always walked on the small road so as not to be bumped into by the troops.
If you drive, although the speed is fast, the target is too big.
After walking for more than an hour, Xiao Leng looked almost exhausted.
Although I wasn't too tired, the high temperature still made me feel a little dizzy.
"The gas station is right in front, you can see it when you exit this intersection."
Li Xiang's voice sounded from behind, and he pointed to the corner in front.
"Finally here!"
Li Chong breathed a long sigh of relief and walked quickly towards the intersection.
Gas station, just across the road from the exit.
"Wait!"
I suddenly reached out and grabbed Li Chong, "Something's not right...there's someone there!"
Li Chong staggered and almost fell to the ground.
However, I pressed his shoulders and pulled Xiao Leng to squat down!
From inside the gas station, a van slowly drove out.
"Aren't the goods this time durable?"
Outside the gas station, stood a middle-aged man with a cigarette in his mouth and yellow teeth.
The window of the van rolled down, "Okay, I won't treat you badly."
"A batch of supplies will be delivered in the afternoon."
"How can I still know your credit, Brother Wang?"
Huang Ya took a puff of his cigarette and waved towards the car window.
The van started up again and drove across the road.
"Who?!"
There was a sharp brake, the van suddenly stopped, and the man inside yelled at me.
I trembled all over, how did I find out? !
"withdraw!"
I shouted in a low voice, pulled Xiao Leng up and turned around.
'Bang bang—! '
Two gunshots landed at my feet, and the bullets grazed my calves and bounced off the wall.
"Don't move! Come out with your hands up!"
A roar came from behind, and the fool didn't move.
Protecting Xiao Leng, I took out the pistol from my waist, loaded it, and ran back.
"Hurry up and call someone! You're all fucking trash, and you didn't even notice anyone was around?!"
There was a faint roar behind him.
Li Chong gasped, "This... just came here and you want to run away again?"
"What else can we do if we don't run? Others have guns and cars, who knows who belongs to them?"
"Why are you running? We also have guns, or two!"
Li Chong was panting, with dissatisfaction written all over his face, "And if you want diesel, the nearest one elsewhere is only ten kilometers away!"
When I heard this, I stopped walking.
What Li Chong said was not unreasonable. It was already close to noon. If he went to another gas station, he might not be able to make it back tonight. And even if he could make it back, it was still unknown whether the other gas stations were occupied.
But diesel is necessary, and no one wants to spend another night in the dark at the base.
And we have two guns, a 95mm and a pistol. As long as we don't encounter troops, we have a chance of winning.
What worries me is who the people are at the gas station. They have cars, guns, and so-called goods.
The origin may not be simple.
I looked up at Li Xiang, "What?"
"Dry!"
Without waiting for Li Xiang to answer, Li Chong immediately responded.
I'm still a little hesitant...
'Tap tap... tap tap...'
"They can't run far."
There was the sound of footsteps at the intersection, and they actually chased me.
My face turned cold and my finger was on the trigger.
It was you who sought death first...
Soon, a group of seven or eight people appeared in front of us.
The person running in front was holding a pistol, and it turned out to be the person in the van just now. The muscles on this person's body were very capable, and his eyes were like eagles, giving people a dangerous feeling.
"Don't move! Raise your hands! I will kill anyone who dares to move!"
The man held the pistol in a steady posture.
On the other side, Huang Ya bit his cigarette butt, "There are so many people, and they are all quite strong."
Huangya smiled, seemingly satisfied.
I slowly raised my hand behind my back.
The moment I was about to pick it up, I fired suddenly.
'Bang! '
The recoil made my elbow tremble, and the bullet deflected and hit the person behind the man.
A scream rang out, and the other side suddenly panicked.
"They have guns!"
Can I give the opponent a chance? !
'Bang bang! ! '
Two more shots were fired, and the bullets were thrown towards the man.
As soon as the man pulled the trigger, he immediately fell to the ground.
'Tite…'
The muzzle of the gun equipped with a silencer fired into the air.
The man fell, and I turned my gun towards Huangya.
However, before I could shoot, I found Huang Ya kneeling down directly.
"Brother, that's not right, Master!"
"Masters, please don't kill me, it's all a misunderstanding!"
Huang Ya's expression was like crying without tears.
I turned around and saw Li Xiang pointing a rifle at several people.
Although not a single shot was fired, it made the opponent immediately give in.
Seeing that the situation was under control, I spoke coldly.
"Take off all your clothes and raise your hands."
Identity change, now it's our turn to say this.
The few people kneeling on the ground visibly trembled and looked at me with confusion on their faces.
"I don't have much patience."
I said coldly and raised the gun.
I really don't have the patience to check each of them for weapons. Taking off all your clothes is the best way.
If you want diesel, you have to go to a gas station, and there may be people at the gas station.
If you don't check it thoroughly, you will inevitably be attacked from both sides.
After the words fell, Huang Ya, who was kneeling at the front, reacted and directly reached out and took off his shirt.
Seeing this, other people took action.
I turned to Xiao Leng and whispered, "Cover your eyes."
Xiao Leng's face was a little pale, he must have been frightened by the shooting just now.
"Oh...oh okay..."
Xiao Leng obeyed and did as he was told.
"Qiuleng? Lin Qiuleng?"
A person kneeling opposite suddenly shouted, "It's really you!"
With his upper body naked, the man almost stood up, "It's me! I'm Xu Xingxing!"
