Chapter 247: Collecting Gasoline (1)

Long Yu looked at Shi Xuan and said, "Let's talk later. Ran Ran and I found plenty of water, so you two should go and take a shower."

Hearing this, Jia Xiang's eyes lit up. She smiled and said, "Finally, I can take a shower!"

While Shi Xuan and Jia Xiang went to shower, Deng Qiqi prepared dinner, while Long Yu and Yao Ran cleaned and disinfected the corridor.

Half an hour later, the five of them sat around the low table in the living room of unit 1901. Long Yu looked at the exhausted Shi Xuan and Jia Xiang and asked, "What happened?"

Jia Xiang took a sip of water and replied, "To make a long story short, A Xuan and I stumbled upon a fight between two gangs. When we realized they were fighting over a gas station, we took away the fuel while they were busy with each other."

Shi Xuan nodded and added, "We didn't take the tankers directly but filled up oil drums. While they were distracted, we loaded the drums onto their transport trucks, drove off, and brought back two trucks and enough fuel to last us a few months."

Yao Ran was curious and asked, "Then how did you two end up looking dirtier than rats?"

Jia Xiang swallowed her rice and sighed, "I don't know if we were lucky or not, but we found an outdoor store that hadn't been looted yet. While we were moving supplies to the trucks, the building suddenly collapsed, and we fell into the sewer."

Deng Qiqi gasped when she heard this and asked worriedly, "Elder Sister Jia Xiang, Elder Brother Xuan, are you two alright?"

Shi Xuan smiled, "We are fine, thanks to the clothing Captain gave us earlier."

Yao Ran raised her brows slightly at this and looked at her boyfriend. Sensing her gaze, Long Yu looked back and smiled.

Sitting across from them, Jia Xiang said dryly, "Captain, can you stop feeding us dog food? I prefer to eat normal food."

Pretending not to hear anything, Yao Ran lowered her head to eat. Long Yu looked at her slightly blushing cheeks and chuckled while Jia Xiang rolled her eyes at him.

After they finished dinner, Shi Xuan said, "Captain, we heard some news on our way back." Long Yu asked, "What news?"

Shi Xuan explained, "The military announced that they will start collecting gasoline from citizens. Five liters of gasoline can be exchanged for one kilogram of food or one liter of gasoline can be exchanged for three liters of water."

Jia Xiang added, "It seems like the two gangs that were fighting over the gas station knew about this before the public and were hoarding gasoline. Otherwise, they wouldn't have fought to the death over that gas station."

Yao Ran thought for a moment and said, "They might be from private bases."
