Zombie Sister Strategy

Chapter 1289: Garage and Gasoline

About thirty modified off-road cars and over ten modified large trucks marched out of Sea City Base. Of course, those vehicles weren’t enough to contain over ten-thousand people. In those vehicles weren’t people, only their luggage.

Most of those people walked out of the base.

“Eh? Don’t they have enough vehicles? These people aren’t gonna walk to All Beings Base, are they? No one arranged any vehicles for them?” The people who watched them walk out got curious. After all, All Beings Base was about a hundred miles away from Sea City Base. They couldn’t possibly get there by foot, could they?

Dong Lijia and his people would, of course, not let those people walk to All Being Base. Those people were only walking to the gathering spot, which was the isolation zone outside the base.

“They’re gathering outside base. There will be vehicles to pick them up, right? Where will those vehicles be from? All Beings Base?”

“I guess All Beings Base will send vehicles for them. After all, they’re all going to that base. No wonder they didn’t need Sea City Base to give them a ride. Their ride has been arranged already.”

Before long, a series of large trucks arrived. Thirty percent of the people gathered outside the base got onto those trucks and left. People thought the rest of the people would have to wait for one or two hours, but unexpectedly, about twenty more trucks arrived in just ten minutes.

“So soon? These are another batch of trucks, aren’t they? Does All Beings Base have so many trucks? They’re so rich!”

Those people did not know that those trucks were driven out of a huge underground garage that was about ten miles away from Sea City Base.

Lin Wenwen looked around at the deserted area. Before the apocalypse, that area was a suburb. She did not know that Dong Lijia had secretly built a large underground garage in that area seven years ago, and kept it secret all this time.

“You haven’t come here for long, have you? This place is dusty!” Lin Wenwen said after spending a short while observing the garage.

“We didn’t want to catch any attention, so we only sent people here once a year in secret to check the vehicles. Luo Yuanjun led the squad himself every single time,” Dong Xinxin stood in the garage and said. The three men stood behind her like always, looking like her bodyguards.

Lin Wenwen looked at her, then at the three tall and sturdy men behind her. After that, she turned her eyes to Dong Xinxin again, and then turned back to the three boys. She felt that Dong Xinxin was like a princess now who had three knights protecting her.

Didn’t those three need to work? Why were they staying by Dong Xinxin’s side? Were they worried that Lin Wenwen might abduct her?

Lin Wenwen turned and looked at the other vehicles in the garage, “In fact, you don’t need to drive all these vehicles out at one time. We can just make a few round trips.”

Standing behind Dong Xinxin, Dong Lijia folded his arms as he looked at Lin Wenwen and said, “Wouldn’t the round trip consume extra gas? To save gas, we might as well drive them all to the new base this time. Oh, come here, there are some things for you.”

Something crossed his mind while he was speaking, so he unfolded his arms and waved at Lin Wenwen as he turned and walked toward a gate.

“What is it?” Lin Wenwen asked him with curiosity while following behind him. Dong Xinxin and the other two also followed them toward that gate.

That was a large, iron gate. Dong Lijia waved at one of his subordinates as he looked at the door and said, “Open it!”

“Yes, sir!” A man in a gray coat ran over. On hearing Dong Lijia’s order, he quickly took out a string of keys from his bag. After spending a short while finding the right key, he inserted it into the keyhole of the lock hanging on the gate and opened it.

After opening that lock, the man found another key and inserted it into the keyhole on the gate, turning a few times to open three locks in a row before finally opening the gate.

“What is being hidden here? Why did you put on so many locks?” Lin Wenwen watched the man spend a while opening the gate and push the gate open. But, she was left gaping once the gate was opened, “Whoa! This is… gasoline!”

The space behind the gate was filled with countless sealed large, iron buckets. A faint smell of gasoline could be sensed.

Lin Wenwen grasped that smell immediately and had her eyes glowing. But soon, she calmed down as she turned and asked Dong Lijia, “Did you say that these are for me? So much? How many buckets do you have here?”

She had stocked quite some gasoline before she returned to the past. But still, all human bases were in desperate shortage of gasoline! Without gas, all vehicles would become useless.

“Three-thousand buckets. We saved these especially for you. After all, if it weren’t for you, Xinxin might have stayed asleep forever. Without your help, her body condition wouldn’t allow her to adapt to the environment in the early years after the apocalypse. Her two minds from two different stages wouldn’t possibly exist together in her body. So, I think, if you weren’t there, Xinxin’s mind that traveled back to her seventeen-year-old body would put her body into a deep sleep, and she might have never woken up,” Dong Lijia said to her with a smile.

Dong Xinxin’s soul, or mind, was very weak when she traveled through the time to the past. But, despite how weak it was, it could not exist together with her seventeen-year-old soul or mind. Fortunately, Lin Wenwen traveled through time together with her. Without Lin Wenwen’s help, Dong Xinxin might have failed to win over her body from her seventeen-year-old self, meaning that she might have failed to come back to life.

If she failed to come back to life, the seventeen-year-old her would still die in seven years.

Even if she managed to occupy the body, she still wouldn’t be able to inform her family about the apocalypse without Lin Wenwen’s help. After all, her mind was so weak that she would fall into unconsciousness, probably forever.

Lin Wenwen did do her a huge favor. She managed to convince Dong Xinxin’s family that the apocalypse was coming. She did that by beating Dong Lijia pretty hard, though.

Thinking about that, Dong Lijia suddenly realized that Lin Wenwen and his super adorable little sister could both be violent sometimes, especially his little sister! Ever since the apocalypse, she had become so fierce. She could kill zombies, mutated beasts, plants, and even human beings, without any hesitation!

For some reason, she preferred to kill zombies with knives than guns! She chopped zombie heads like watermelons!

When he and his family first saw a zombie, they were so shocked. They had prepared themselves for that, but still, seeing a zombie with their own eyes was a completely different thing from what they had imagined before. The fear was inevitable.

The longer they survived after the apocalypse, the more strongly they realized how helpful Lin Wenwen was for them. Therefore, when Dong Xinxin told Dong Lijia that Lin Wenwen had returned to the future without needing her help, Dong Lijia felt that he owed her a huge one. He felt that the millions of yuan that he had given to Lin Wenwen were far from enough to pay back for what she had done for his family!
