Chapter 14

Wen Xiaotian’s home was more than 100 kilometers away from Nanjing City . She grew up in a small town, whose name was unknown to others, and she left in order to study in college at Jiangbei Town . Wen Xiaotian was born in an ordinary family . Her father was a long-distance transportation driver, always driving from that small town to Jiangbei City . Wen Xiaotian had always followed her father and sometimes stayed in Jiangbei Town for a while .

"At that time, I didn’t know why . I just felt the scenery along the road was very interesting and I had fun," Wen Xiaotian said with emotion .

She was really embarrassed after mumbling and she hastily said, "I'm really sorry . I rambled for a long time but I didn’t get to the heart of the matter . . . "

"It’s okay," Jiang Liushi said . She was really calm and collected; considering she was a young girl who had escaped certain death and was worried about her family .

Wen Xiaotian's eyes had always been red . Jiang Liushi inadvertently glanced at her eyes, which were looking up hard in order not to cry .

"You can continue . Anyway, we have a long way ahead of us," Jiang said .

Wen Xiaotian could not help but smile . "I know . I just have to recall some

details of the road!"

"I was worried that I could not remember clearly . . . But I just remembered . . . There were two roads passing through the city, with a lot of traffic . "

Jiang Liushi shook his head and said, "We have to give up the road with too many people or cars . On the freeway, the army will clean up the road . However, if we were blocked on the road, we would probably become food for the zombies . How about the other road?"

"The other road is like that too . . . There is a bypass passing through a variety of small towns, because it goes through some factories along the road… This road actually had a lot of people living nearby," Wen Xiaotian said . More people meant more zombies, so that road had been rejected by Jiang Liushi .

"There is another road leading up a mountain . The road is more complex, and there is an extremely long path we have to follow, but the chances of meeting zombies will be less," Wen Xiaotian said .

"This road . . . " The complexity of a road was nothing to Jiang Liushi at all . The Starseed would keep making minor changes and make sure that the driving safety would be greatly improved . However, the reason why Wen Xiaotian didn’t mention this road first was because there was nothing along the long way . No food, no water, no gas stations…

Wen Xiaotian did not know if the food in storage would suffice . However, it was not an exaggeration to say that the food storage was enough to open a small supermarket . Also, the water reserves could also support them for a long time . At least they wouldn’t have to starve in accordance with the minimum survival needs . Of course, Jiang Liushi would not take the initiative to say those things . He was not distrustful of Wen Xiaotian, but he just felt it was too tiresome to explain . . . Actually, Jiang Liushi was always afraid of getting lumbered . But it was indeed a serious problem if there were no gas stations along the road .

"Tell me the specific route . In addition, do you know how many kilometers are there this way? " Jiang Liushi asked .

Wen Xiaotian could roughly guess . Jiang Liushi added fifty kilometers, give or take, to the number she gave, and then the Starseed began calculating . Jiang Liushi had filled the minibus with gasoline when he had rented it . He had also purchased a few buckets of gasoline . However, when the refitting of the minibus had been completed, the oil tank had become the MCV standard, which had a different capacity . Jiang Liushi had not expected this, so he felt that the gasoline was not going be enough .

[The calculation is going be based on the value . . . The current capacity of oil tank is 1000L, and the remaining oil volume is 210L . . . It can travel one thousand and fifty kilometers . ]

The general capacity of an oil tank was 50L . In addition to filling the oil tank, Jiang Liushi had bought 180L of gasoline . It would be enough but compared to the 1000L oil storage of the MCV, it was not enough at all .

[A thousand kilometers are enough for me to drive all the way to Nanjing City and find Jiang Zhuying . ] But the calculated data provided by the Starseed had been based on the ‘ordinary fuel consumption’ of the MCV, which was 20L for 100 km . It was like daily driving without the "Acceleration" and "Crash" functions . All these additional functions consumed gasoline, so it had a large oil tank . As for the ‘ordinary fuel consumption’, there was no difference compared to an ordinary minibus .

"Jiang, have you decided?" Jiang Liushi was silent, so Wen Xiaotian nervously asked .

She was worried that all the routes provided by her were would be rejected by Jiang Liushi, which would mean that she would not been able to help at all . Wen Xiaotian believed that people should help each other mutually, of which the word ‘mutually’ being the key word there . Jiang Liushi had helped her and let her come with him, but she could only contribute that much .

"Ah, we will choose the mountain road!" Jiang Liushi answered .

He had taken various factors into account, so the mountain road was the best choice for them . Although it could not withstand "a thousand kilometers", which was the distance limit of the MCV, they would have no problem driving at least to Wen Xiaotian’s hometown .

"Let's see if there are any gas stations on the road," Jiang Liushi said .

"Okay!" Wen Xiaotian was surprised . . . She thought that Jiang Liushi would have chosen the factory road, although there would be a lot of zombies there . Since Jiang had made a decision though, she would not object .

As long as there was gasoline, it wouldn’t matter even if there was not enough food to eat .

"I have seen a documentary that said that as long as there is water, one can maintain their bodily function s, even without eating . It was said that a girl in order to lose weight did not eat for a month . So even if we do not eat, as long as we have water, we can survive for several days," Wen Xiaotian said .

Jiang Liushi looked at her; he did not know why she shad aid those things .

Wen Xiaotian then smiled and said, "I feel like I need to lose weight . . . "

"Uh . . . " Jiang Liushi did not know what to say .

Did Wen Xiaotian really believe that they would starve to death?
