NOVEL WEB Chapter 1,128: Oil City
Wu Nini declined their offer to let her eat more food. She just drank some well water to soak up the dry black bread in her stomach to increase her satiety. Then she asked about Yi Xing and Millicent. .
After further inquiring about their appearance and learning that they were a little black-haired lolita and a big blond elf, the old lady couldn't help but sigh that there was such a coincidence.
"Mother-in-law, do you think you know their whereabouts?" Wu Nini asked immediately after seeing this.
"Yes... those two girls came here some time ago. At that time, they got rid of the bandits who occupied the town - in fact, they occupied the well."
The mother-in-law sighed and said this.
"However, although the robber is dead, several men in our town have bad intentions."
"After they left, those few people took over the weapons from the robbers first, so they forced everyone to hand over all the guns, took over the well, and still asked for supplies in exchange for water just like when the robbers were there... Hey, How did these people sink to this level?”
"...After all, water is precious in this wilderness. In these troubled times, bad guys who use force to seize resources will of course target the wells one after another."
Wu Nini said this, her tone paused, and then she couldn't wait to ask.
"Well, old woman. Have you heard where they plan to go after they leave town?"
"I heard they plan to go to Oil City." The old lady said slowly: "Miss Wu Nini, have you heard of this city?"
"...No." Wu Nini looked at her with an air of "introduce me".
The old woman also understood it, so she nodded and introduced it to her.
"I heard that it is very safe there. Not only are there high walls and guards to maintain order, but there is also sufficient food, electricity and medicine."
"The most important thing is that there is a magic fuel produced there that can be used instead of gasoline. Just fill a barrel and it will be enough for the car. In the current shortage of gasoline, it is really attractive. That's why it got the name of Oil City ah."
"...I see. That's really attractive." Wu Nini agreed and said, "And gasoline is useful for more than just driving."
Grandma: "Isn't that right... The electricity in this town is also produced by gasoline. So it is quite precious. No one is willing to use it."
"Besides, when gasoline was not so scarce, there was an electric grid outside the city."
"...I saw them. There were a lot of holes." Wu Nini took another sip of water: "Now that there is no power grid, evil people will continue to appear and harass the village."
"Yes..." the old woman said helplessly: "There are also threats from wild beasts and monsters... There are not many strong men in our town. They basically go out to look for food during the day and are not in the town. Moreover, from time to time they There are those who are attacked by them and never come back..."
"Speaking of wild beasts and monsters... A large nest of man-eating rats has appeared recently. They always sneak into the town, making everyone very scared." The old woman said in a sad tone: "The rat king headed by them was when I was a child. The monster my grandpa mentioned... seems to be some kind of demon. It was driven away by the heroes in the town before, but I didn't expect it to come back recently."
"Well, it's just a mouse. What kind of bullshit demon is it?" Wu Nini was extremely calm and dismissed it: "If I can't kill it with three punches, my surname is not Wu."
