8. Survivor
Find the nearest gas station to you on the map, which happens to be the place where you last refueled. There were not many residents near that gas station. It was close to the suburbs. It was usually a place where large cars or long-distance trucks would choose to refuel.
It is far away from the city. Even if most people want to seize the time to grab supplies, they would not immediately think of going to that gas station. So after comprehensive consideration, Gu Zhuo decided to drive to the gas station quickly.
Due to the failure of satellite navigation and other functions, Gu Zhuo could only rely on the most primitive method of following the map to go to the gas station.
In the past few days, in addition to the most basic survival and rest, he has been learning mechanical design and drawing drawings. After all, the experience and practice in the past few days have made him clear about the areas that need improvement in the Doomsday Fortress.
For example, this navigation system, he plans to upgrade the navigation system. His idea was to create an engine measurement system that would be connected to offline maps.
This system can read various operations such as the car's driving speed and direction, thereby accurately simulating the car's position on the map, thus achieving the effect of navigation without satellites.
It's easy to conceive, and drawing design drawings is a purely technical job. Gu Zhuo had never studied this aspect systematically before, and it was even more impossible for him to draw a perfect design after studying for a few days. There is no way, this matter has to be put on hold for a while, and he has to wait for him to think about it slowly and long-term.
Turn on the thermal imaging system. In this weather, Gu Zhuo can clearly see on the screen any trace of a person a thousand meters away. He hasn't figured out what to do when he meets someone. At present, without knowing the details of other people, he is more inclined to run quickly instead of fighting blindly.
"Launch the fortress!"
With a thought in his mind, the Doomsday Fortress let out a dull roar and then started to activate. Sam jumped from the living cabin to the passenger seat of the cockpit and screamed a few times. A little more than two months have passed since I bought him back, and Sam is now a lot bigger than when I got him back.
Always paying attention to the thermal imaging display on the screen, Gu Zhuo drove to the gas station following the direction indicated by the map.
The snow was very deep, and Gu Zhuo had already felt it when he went down to put a quilt on the fuel tank. But let alone snow, even if there is a road in front of you, the road is crowded with abandoned cars, and the tonnage of this doomsday fortress can still violently run over it.
Driving all the way to the gas station, Gu Zhuo didn't know if he had deviated from the route. After all, the navigation failed and all he could see was a white scene.
There are no road signs, which is really a headache.
Fortunately, Gu Zhuo's natural sense of direction was not too bad, and he had a map. Even after driving for a long time on an empty snowfield, several red dots suddenly appeared on the thermal imaging display on the screen.
These red dots are very sparse and scattered on the screen. Gu Zhuo took a look and guessed that he was almost at the edge of the suburbs, close to the city. Otherwise, there would be no source of heat in a wilderness like this.
Concentrating, Gu Zhuo slowed down the speed of the fortress and drove forward slowly. Finally, a small red dot faintly appeared in front of him, no longer a piece of pure white snow.
It's a gas station!
Seeing that he was about to arrive at the gas station, Gu Zhuo looked at the thermal imaging display screen again and saw that there was only one faint red dot at the gas station. The rest of the red dots are further out and more densely packed.
It seems that if nothing unexpected happens, there should be only one person near this gas station.
Although he didn't know why that person appeared at the gas station, Gu Zhuowan didn't dare to take it lightly.
He parked the Doomsday Fortress in place and waited quietly for a while.
On the screen, the red dot was motionless, showing no signs of moving. Gu Zhuo waited for a long time, wondering what accident might have happened to that person. He looked at the denser red dots at the top of the screen. If it were delayed for a while, these people might think of the gas station and rush here.
In order to avoid unnecessary complications, it was easier to deal with one person than a group of people. Gu Zhuo gritted his teeth and drove the Doomsday Fortress straight to the gas station.
After driving until he reached the gas station, he stopped the fortress base vehicle without turning off the engine. In this way, if something unexpected happens, he can directly run up to the fortress car in three steps and then escape.
Park the fortress vehicle, equip it with weapons, put a laser sword on your waist, an air gun on your back, and a military knife strapped to your ankle. If something unexpected happens, Gu Zhuo has retired from the army and has been a bodyguard for two years, so dealing with one person will not be a problem.
Sam followed him and wanted to get out of the car too. Gu Zhuo thought for a while and decided to let him stay on top of the fortress.
Although the Caucasian dog is already quite scary when it is four months old, it is useless and its combat effectiveness is still not much. It will have to wait until it is at least one year old before it can exert its combat effectiveness.
Not only that, it was minus sixty degrees outside, and Sam would get sick even if he went for a walk. Gu Zhuo doesn't know how to treat dogs, and he doesn't want anything to happen to his only companion in the end.
"Sam, stay in the car and wait for me to come back!"
Gu Zhuo touched Sam's head, and then got out of the cockpit fully armed.
After getting out of the cockpit, Gu Zhuo directly picked up the air gun from behind and pointed it at the front. The wind and snow in front of him roared, and ice particles kept flying towards his face. In the snow and fog, he could not see anything clearly.
Gu Zhuo closed his mouth tightly, he didn't want to eat a mouthful of snow particles.
According to the thermal imaging on the screen, the person should be near the supermarket at the gas station.
He held the gun and walked to the supermarket at the gas station. With Fengxue's charming eyes, he didn't see anyone in front of the gas station, but he could vaguely see that the supermarket door was open. I don’t know if someone entered from outside or came out from inside the supermarket.
In short, Gu Zhuowan didn't dare to let go of the oil matter until he found out the situation clearly.
Holding the gun carefully, he walked all the way to the supermarket. Fengxue was pouring into the supermarket in large numbers, like giant beasts galloping. It looks like the supermarket is about to turn into a large ice warehouse.
"That's weird. If someone hid in this supermarket, why didn't they close the door? Logically speaking, if someone was in the supermarket, they shouldn't have come out..."
Gu Zhuo was wondering in his heart as he slowly walked to the open door of the supermarket. He was about to walk into the supermarket when he suddenly kicked something under his feet, which stood upright and hard.
Inspired by the touch on the soles of his feet, Gu Zhuo jumped back and pointed his gun at the ground, ready to shoot at any time.
When his eyes moved to the ground, he saw a person lying on the ground. The man was wearing a thick cotton-padded jacket, and his whole body was almost buried in the snow, so Gu Zhuo didn't notice him. The man was motionless and was probably dead.
However, Gu Zhuo was not sure whether the man was dead or not, so he squatted down and used the front end of the air gun to push away the snow. The man was lying face up in the snow, with a layer of cloth covering his face to block his appearance.
Gu Zhuo lowered the gun to the ground with one hand, took off his gloves with the other, and pulled the cloth off the man's face.
As soon as the cloth was pulled away, a face that was pale and pale from the cold was revealed, with no blood. It was the face of a man. The man's eyes were wide open, his face was full of disbelief, and he seemed to be confused when he fell to the ground.
Gu Zhuo put his finger close to the man's nose. The man had lost his breath and was completely dead.
Looking at the man like this, he must have been dead for a while, so the flashing red dot on the thermal imaging display was not him.
There should be other people in the supermarket!
Gu Zhuo stood up, regained his energy, pointed the muzzle of the gun into the supermarket, and tiptoed in.
It's cold inside the supermarket, but it's a little bit better than outside.
Gu Zhuo searched carefully and walked around the supermarket. Sure enough, in front of a food shelf, he saw a tightly wrapped man with a piece of cloth covering his face, sitting against the shelf. on the ground.
"Hello!"
Gu Zhuo shouted to the man, but the man didn't move or react at all.
Afraid that this was a trap, Gu Zhuo did not approach. He held up the air gun and searched around for a long time before confirming that there was no one else here. Then he walked up to the sitting person with his heart in mind.
Squatting down, he pulled off the cloth on this person's face as he did just now. When he saw this person's appearance, Gu Zhuo squinted his eyes: This person was the one he saw that day. He was so beautiful that it took your breath away. Supermarket cashier!
Put your finger close to her nose. Surprisingly, this woman still has some weak breathing. She is a survivor!
For some reason, the woman was sitting on the ground, motionless, and seemed to have been unconscious for a while. Gu Zhuo stood up, put on his gloves and goggles again, shook his head, and left the supermarket without looking back.
His primary target now is the oil in the gas station, and the survivors have nothing to do with him.
Besides, he doesn't trust others in the apocalypse. After all, he has always believed that human nature is inherently evil. If he casually meets a strange survivor and wants to save him, not to mention whether he has enough supplies, what if this person sees his doomsday fortress and has evil intentions towards him.
The story of the farmer and the snake is often played out in real society.
Holding the gun, Gu Zhuo left the supermarket and rushed towards the gas station.
His goal is only oil, oil, oil!
