Chapter 292

Lin Qianhuan had heard Xuan Yuanming mention Xuan Yuan Ye’s matter.

At the beginning of the Kyoto base’s construction, various forces ran rampant, and internal wars within the base frequently broke out.

Xuan Yuan Ao had many enemies even before the apocalypse, and they took advantage of the chaos after the apocalypse to create numerous obstacles for him.

Most of these were just minor disturbances and didn’t have a significant impact on him.

Only once, Xuan Yuan Ye was taken as a hostage and almost lost his life.

He hadn’t eaten for days, and he was pitifully thin, almost just a skeleton.

His body was covered in penetrating wounds, with torn flesh and no good spots to be seen.

After experiencing this kidnapping, Xuan Yuan Ye almost died.

Xuan Yuan Ao felt guilty towards him and usually indulged him, only hoping that he would live a healthy and happy life.

Anything was allowed except murder, arson, and oppressing the common people.

This also fostered Xuan Yuan Ye’s unrestrained, fearless, and reckless nature.

Lin Qianhuan shook her head and didn’t say anything more.

Growth always requires a process, and perhaps at some point, Xuan Yuan Ye would mature.

The four of them ate seriously, took a nap, and then planned to continue their journey.

The RV was much more comfortable than an off-road vehicle. Xuan Yuan Ye strapped himself to the bed and continued to sleep, showing no signs of waking up.

Lin Qianhuan sat next to Xuan Yuanming and chatted with her, making the time pass quickly.

Seven days later.

The RV’s body had accumulated a lot of dirt and dust.

Having rested well, the four of them were in good spirits, showing no signs of fatigue from the long journey.

“Qianhuan, we’re almost at Mingyu City. How about we rest here tonight?”

Jiang Xing turned his head and asked, his gaze falling on the looming high-rise buildings in the distance.

“Okay, it’s almost dark. Let’s find a quiet, open place to park.”

Lin Qianhuan agreed, taking out a bottle of mineral water from her space and drinking most of it in one go.

The RV continued along the wide, dilapidated road for a few kilometers and parked on the roadside of the central square.

There were no buildings around, and no obstructing garbage or obstacles.

In case of an emergency, they could immediately drive away to escape, avoiding many dangers.

Dinner was cheese-flavored turkey noodles with fried chicken, a bit monotonous, but fortunately, it was high in calories, enough for them to expend.

After eating their fill, Xuan Yuanming stretched and somewhat stiffly moved her joints inside the RV.

“I haven’t gotten out of the RV for too long. There’s a gas station next to us, I’ll go check if the gas inside is still usable.”

Lin Qianhuan patted her round belly and also stepped out, following her to the gas station.

Jiang Xing and Xuan Yuan Ye exchanged glances, both not wanting to stay in the RV, and without hesitation got out and walked towards the gas station together.

This area seemed to have been inactive for a long time.

The gas pumps were covered in dust and cobwebs, the colors and characters on the buttons were long faded, and the nozzles were scattered on the ground, unable to dispense a single drop of gas.

“Qianhuan, this one is still usable.

Do you have any containers? Bring them over to catch it.”

Xuan Yuanming called out while holding the nozzle. Lin Qianhuan took out a special oil storage container and ran over, inhaling the scent of gasoline, her mood improving a lot.

Based on the principle of taking everything others didn’t want, the two of them didn’t stop, planning to collect all the remaining gasoline.

Just like that, the sky gradually darkened, and a sharp shout suddenly rang out in the distance.

“Stop! Stop it now!”

Lin Qianhuan looked up and met the eyes of two young men.

The other party walked over angrily: “Didn’t we agree that each team can only take 1L of oil per week?

Today is already Friday, why are you taking oil again?

Which team are you from? I want to see your leader!”

Xuan Yuanming was already short-tempered. Seeing the newcomers being so rude, she subconsciously wanted to get angry.

Lin Qianhuan secretly tugged at her: “Pay attention to the surroundings.

This is a gas station, no open flames.”

After speaking, she stepped forward and began to communicate with the two strange men.

“We’re just passing by here and didn’t know your rules, sorry.”

Seeing that her attitude was good and that they were outsiders, the man restrained his temper, and his tone became more polite.

“It’s also my fault, I blamed you without finding out the truth.

There are just too many people stealing oil, and we can’t guard against them, so my temper is a bit short.

I’m sorry.”

Lin Qianhuan smiled and shook her head: “It’s nothing, but we can’t return all the oil we took, right?

After all, the rules are for the survivors of Mingyu City, and we’re outsiders, we don’t intend to follow your rules.”

She pondered for a moment and said: “I don’t plan to be too unreasonable. I can return half of the oil I took to you.

I’ll take the rest, after all, my teammates and I can’t work for nothing, right?”

The two young men looked at each other, and finally reluctantly compromised.

“Okay.”

After speaking, they were about to leave with the oil with some heartache, but as if they suddenly thought of something, they turned to look at Lin Qianhuan.

“The nights in Mingyu City aren’t very safe, you better pay attention.”

Lin Qianhuan was confused. Just as she was about to ask for more information, she saw the other party hurrying away with the oil barrels.

Xuan Yuan Ye curiously came over: “Sister Qianhuan, what did they mean?”

Lin Qianhuan shook her head, frowning as she looked at the gradually darkening sky.

“Just in case, let’s get in the RV quickly.

It’s better to be safe than sorry, it’s always good to be vigilant and pay attention to safety.”
