Chapter 104 - Processing and Evaluating Green Tea (3)

They went back to the jeep.

Lu Xingchi drove the jeep out of the garage. After driving through the area for a while, they finally found a large home improvement chain store and a small portable gas-run generator inside that store.

On the way back, they passed a gas station. Lu Xingchi got out of the jeep and filled up the jeep, and then he asked Bei Nuan for a few gasoline containers. He worked on filling them up while Bei Nuan and Du Ruo explored the gas station.

"We should try to refill as much as we can when we pass by gas stations," Lu Xingchi said.

The jeep needed gasoline and so did the portable generator. The more gasoline they had the better.

After Lu Xingchi finished refueling, everyone got back into the jeep.

Just after the jeep was started, Bei Nuan suddenly said, "Wait."

She opened the door, jumped out of the jeep, ran to the fuel station, and grabbed the gas pump nozzle.

There was a loud thunder-like rumble.

Lu Xingchi quickly jumped out of the car and rushed over. Bei Nuan was standing there, perfectly fine.

The fuel station was gone, and there was a huge, deep pit in the ground.

Her gaze was blank, as if she was thinking about something. And then, she asked a strange question, "It's the height of two people, and the length of four to five people. It's a large dark, gray capsule-looking thing. It's connected to the gas pump. Is it the fuel storage tank?"

Lu Xingchi: "..."

She had actually put the gas pumps along with the fuel storage tank into her space.

Lu Xingchi clenched his jaw. He thought she was too foolhardy.

In contrast, Bei Nuan was quite happy. "I just wanted to give it a try. I didn't think it would work. We have plenty of fuel now. The storage tank is huge!"

It certainly was big enough and contained the gas station's premium fuel.

Du Ruo had followed everyone out. He was also shocked by what Bei Nuan had done.

"You put a gas station in your pocket space? You usually cook stuff in your pocket space. Won't your pocket space explode the moment you try to cook something?"

"Idiot," Bei Nuan answered, "I put it on the level where time is frozen. I'll take it out when we need to refuel."

Others took out a gas container when they wanted to refuel. She took the gas station to refuel. Alright then.

After they got back into the jeep, Du Ruo was still pondering, "So how did we end up collecting a gas station?"

He answered his question himself, "Oh, it's because Bei Nuan said she wanted a hair dryer."

To blow dry her hair, she needed electricity. Electricity required a generator, which in turn required gasoline. To get gasoline, they had to go to a gas station. The logic was smooth with no faults.

The noon sun shone warmly on Shuicheng. There was a rare feeling of peacefulness and ease. Even the strolling zombies were indolent from the warming rays of the sun.

Shui University's cafeteria was already open for lunch. Song Xiyi was on gate duty today.

Someone called him over for lunch.

"It's okay. Come get me after you guys are finished eating." Song Xiyi turned his head to answer.

When he turned his head back, he was shocked to see a large truck reverse parked in front of the metal gate. It appeared here silently, as if it had fallen from the sky.

Bei Nuan and the others quietly emerged from the truck.

Bei Nuan motioned to open the truck's door. "We passed by a supermarket and bought a few things for you guys. Come over to unload the goods."

Song Xiyi was dumbstruck once the door was opened. How could this be considered "a few things"? The truck was packed full with boxes of food supplies and other useful items.

Song Xiyi and his male classmates hastily came out and quietly and quickly unloaded the truck with Lu Xingchi and the others.

While the others were busy unloading, Bei Nuan rushed upstairs.
