Chapter 173: Global Extreme Cold 16
The oil in these machines was frozen, and the fuel nozzle couldn’t pump it out; this wasn’t their target.
What they needed was bulk gasoline.
The two looked around and then walked towards the convenience store next to the gas station.
The convenience store’s door was wide open. Inside, it looked like it had been looted, the shelves were empty. They searched for a while, but didn’t even find any vehicle lubricant.
If the convenience store didn’t have it, they’d check the workshop.
The two turned and headed to the workshop.
Chu Yian, wearing thick gloves, placed her hand on the doorknob. There was no sound inside, but it made her pause before opening the door.
She turned and gestured to Lu Qingyuan, telling him to stand on the other side of the door. The moment Chu Yian opened the door, her body sharply retreated, preventing anything from rushing out.
Nothing.
A door curtain made of a quilt fell down at the entrance.
The commotion startled Chu Yian, and then she looked at Lu Qingyuan and smiled apologetically, “Special times, gotta be cautious.”
As Chu Yian spoke, she used her entrenching tool to lift the heavy door curtain in front of her. Just then, the end of her entrenching tool was grabbed by someone. The person pulled with such force that Chu Yian was almost yanked out.
Chu Yian fortunately steadied herself, then was pulled back by Lu Qingyuan.
Seeing that they couldn’t grab anyone, the people inside rushed out.
First to charge out was a large Fat Man with a fierce face, only slightly shorter than Lu Qingyuan. He was already burly, and his thick clothes made him look like a gorilla.
This person rushed out, axe in hand, and chopped at Lu Qingyuan. And from inside the room, four more young people emerged.
Two against five, a bit difficult.
“Little Chu Chu, we meet again.”
Upon hearing a familiar voice, Chu Yian felt her feet, preparing to escape, pause.
“Bai Sinian, enemies always meet on a narrow road.”
Her gaze swept over the few people surrounding him, surely more NPCs.
Bai Sinian’s ability was truly annoying.
“Little Chu Chu, why are you looking at others? Look at me.”
Bai Sinian waved at her, “Come over here, Brother Bai will help you clear the game.”
Still trying to trick people with such nonsense?
Chu Yian glanced at the three strong men beside him. Knowing that her chances of winning a fight were slim, she flashed a fake smile at Bai Sinian, “It’s so cold, there’s no need for us to target each other. How about we pretend we didn’t see each other and just try to clear the game on our own?”
“Heh.”
Bai Sinian chuckled upon hearing this, “Normally you call me Bai Sinian, but when you need something, you know to call me Brother Bai?”
He toyed with a handgun in his hand and looked at Chu Yian, “I can let you go, Brother Bai will allow it, but give up your car.”
Because of his words, Chu Yian’s fake smile almost couldn’t be maintained, “Brother Bai is really joking, I don’t even know what you’re talking about.”
“Is that so?”
Bai Sinian’s smile deepened and became more meaningful, “There are so many houses in this small town, why do you think I chose to stay in this dilapidated shack?”
Of course, it was to find a car!
Their car got stuck in the snow while crossing the mountains, and they needed a new mode of transportation to get to the Oasis. Blocking the road directly wasn’t realistic, so they specifically waited at the gas station, hoping to catch a rabbit.
They just didn’t expect… “to run into a clumsy rabbit like Little Chu Chu.”
Bai Sinian’s smile was so smug, it made one want to go up and slap him twice.
“Brother Bai, what are you dreaming about? If I had a car, would I be stuck here?”
Chu Yian stubbornly denied having a car, “We also walked over the mountains. We came to the gas station to find some oil for fuel to keep warm.”
“Is that so?”
Bai Sinian didn’t quite believe it.
He was about to continue speaking when a scream came from beside them. While they were talking, they had forgotten about Lu Qingyuan and the big guy he was fighting.
The one who screamed was, of course, the big guy.
Lu Qingyuan had snatched the big guy’s axe, pinned him in the snow, and with one swing, cut off four of the man’s fingers.
Blood gushed from the big guy’s wound, then instantly froze due to the external cold. His face was pale, and he even fainted from the pain.
Now it was two against four.
Chu Yian’s eyes instantly lit up, but seeing the gun in Bai Sinian’s hand, her surging excitement immediately cooled down.
“Little Chu Chu, finding a game teammate this round is quite interesting.”
Bai Sinian focused his attention on Lu Qingyuan, then instantly raised his hand and pulled the trigger at Lu Qingyuan.
Bang, bang, two shots, the bullets hit the golden treasure box, sparking dazzling fire.
Oh, she had already anticipated Bai Sinian’s move.
“Little Chu Chu, you actually helped him!”
Bai Sinian’s brain seemed to have a serious problem; his tone was as if he had caught his girlfriend cheating, “You actually hurt your Brother Bai for some wild man.”
“Oh my god! I really want to kill you.”
Chu Yian couldn’t stand his obnoxious behavior any longer.
The game could be lost, but Bai Sinian had to die!
Chu Yian didn’t care about the points this round; she was going to kill Bai Sinian.
She grabbed her entrenching tool and charged forward.
Bai Sinian was full of hot air, but his actions were not at all sloppy.
He aimed at Chu Yian’s knee and fired a shot.
The gun jammed.
Chu Yian heard two clicks from the handgun and felt that even heaven was helping her. She swung her entrenching tool at Bai Sinian.
Bang—!
Bai Sinian blocked Chu Yian’s attack with his handgun, but the force of the entrenching tool numbed his wrist. His index finger was even severed by the entrenching tool.
Blood flowed from the wound, but Bai Sinian’s expression didn’t change.
No, he was enraged.
“Little Chu Chu, you’re really ruthless.”
Bai Sinian threw down the handgun and picked up a solid baseball bat held by one of his subordinates. He held it in his left hand, twirled it casually, then instructed the remaining three NPCs, “Kill that man.”
As for Chu Yian, he would deal with her personally.
The fight began!
Lu Qingyuan was surrounded by three strong men and couldn’t break free, while Chu Yian was being chased and beaten by Bai Sinian.
With his vindictive personality, the baseball bat in his hand was specifically aimed at Chu Yian’s hands. Several times, Chu Yian’s hands were almost hit, and the force was enough to cripple her hands.
Chu Yian’s dodging and weaving almost exhausted his patience. Bai Sinian suddenly moved closer to her, pressing her palm tightly with one hand, and raising the baseball bat with the other, “Little Chu Chu…”
Bang—!
Before Bai Sinian could finish speaking, a heavy object landed on his instep.
Bai Sinian’s handsome face instantly contorted, and he reached out to hug the treasure box, trying to lift it.
How could that be!
Her treasure box had grown, it weighed over a thousand pounds!
“Bai Sinian, didn’t expect this, did you? You also have a time when you fall into my hands.”
She picked up the handgun he had thrown aside and carefully checked its parts.
Thanks to the special forces training manual she bought, which detailed the principles of handguns and possible reasons for malfunctions.
She carefully inspected and fiddled with it for a long time, fixed the handgun, and then aimed it at Bai Sinian’s forehead…
