"Hmm, 61 kilometers, that's really impressive and fast."
The 23rd place is already at 61 kilometers, I can't imagine what the speed of the first place is.
Running so fast, their fuel consumption must be high, right? I wonder where they got their fuel from.
Watching the screen in front of them, the three started chatting idly.
Luckily, the air conditioning lowered the temperature by ten degrees, otherwise, we'd really be getting roasted.
The sun outside is scorching, I wonder if the temperature is going to keep rising in the future.
"It's getting dark soon."
After driving for a few more hours, the distant sun slowly set. As the giant sun dipped behind the mountains, heat waves rose from the surface, creating a distorted sensation in the space around them.
Even at this time, the temperature showed no signs of dropping.
"This is bad, there's no light."
Just as Song Qingyun was thinking about taking turns to rest after dark, intending to continue driving even at night.
But as the sun continued to descend a bit more, their light was blocked by the ridge, plunging them into darkness.
It was only then that Song Qingyun realized this car didn't have any lights.
Without lights, driving this car might be a bit dangerous.
Zhou Yingting was stunned for a moment upon hearing this and then frowned, "No lights? What should we do? Do we keep driving?"
"Can't see the road clearly, if we crash and damage the car, it would be a problem."
Song Qingyun hesitated and said.
"Let's rest for the night then."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yingting thought for a moment and decided to rest for the night.
He looked at the destination on the navigation, and realized they were too far away. Estimating that it would take at least half a month to get there without nonstop driving.
Driving at night without a clear view of the road really was too dangerous.
Hearing this, Song Qingyun nodded as well, "Yeah, let's rest for a night, but it's best we take turns resting to avoid any unexpected events."
Zhou Yingting had no objection to this, and after preparing dinner, got ready to rest.
Lin Wenjue took the first watch, then Song Qingyun, followed by Zhou Yingting.
When Zhou Yingting gets up for his shift, he'll be able to prepare for driving again.
As the two fell asleep, they heard the distant sound of wolves howling in the middle of the night.
Hearing the sound, Lin Wenjue was instantly startled and quickly woke Song Qingyun up.
He felt he couldn't handle these wolves with his Tier Three skills, making him a bit scared.
Song Qingyun, sleeping soundly, was amused upon being woken up, but understood that this was the other's first time experiencing a realm.
Letting him try fighting a wolf, once Lin Wenjue realized he could easily crush the wolf, he calmed down immediately.
Seeing Lin Wenjue regain confidence, Song Qingyun went back to sleep.
.....
"Wake up, it's your shift."
In a groggy state, Zhou Yingting was woken up by Song Qingyun.
Seeing that it was Song Qingyun who woke him, Zhou Yingting yawned and took his place in the driver's seat.
In this odd weather, the temperature drops drastically at night, making Zhou Yingting sleep uncomfortably.
It's unbearably hot during the day and freezing cold at night.
Luckily, the cold at night was still bearable.
Zhou Yingting sat in the driver's seat and checked the small map on his Golden Finger.
About 20 kilometers ahead there's fuel, and around 30 kilometers there's a speed boost tag, both are things Zhou Yingting must acquire.
When the distant sun had not fully risen, and the sky was dimly lit, Zhou Yingting started the car and drove forward.
After covering 20 kilometers, the car came to a halt.
Lin Wenjue rubbed his eyes and walked outside, "Is there a place that needs searching?"
"Why don't you sleep a bit more?"
Seeing Lin Wenjue come out, Zhou Yingting looked at him in surprise; Lin Wenjue should still be sleepy at this point.
Hearing this, Lin Wenjue quickly shook his head, "This little sleep is enough, I used to get up this early when working."
Seeing the sincerity in Lin Wenjue's expression, Zhou Yingting nodded, "There should be fuel there, go check it out and fill the tank."
"Alright, I'll go check!"
Upon hearing Zhou Yingting's words, Lin Wenjue immediately grabbed a fuel canister and ran to get fuel.
He knew his car was slow, ranking very low.
They needed to put in an extra effort to find more fuel and tags to catch up.
Otherwise, getting into the top ten wouldn't be a consideration.
As Lin Wenjue went looking for fuel, Zhou Yingting searched nearby for any other tags.
After searching, Zhou Yingting indeed found an air conditioning tag.
However, this air conditioning entry is only Level 1.
The temperature in the vehicle has dropped by 10 degrees now, which is still acceptable. Zhou Yingting temporarily set this air conditioning entry aside.
He plans to synthesize it to Level 2 later, check the temperature again, and then decide whether to use it.
On the other side, Lin Wenjue found 100L of gasoline and filled it into the barrels.
The car over by Zhou Yingting's side moved slightly, just about to continue on the road, when his gaze suddenly sharpened.
He saw on the mini-map, surprisingly, what seemed like a gasoline storage facility behind the sand dunes away from the roadside.
Judging by the size marked above, it appears to have more gasoline than they have found during this period.
Upon witnessing this scene, Zhou Yingting swallowed a bit, his eyes gleaming.
If they find this gasoline, then there's no need to worry about gasoline for a long time afterward.
Thinking this, Zhou Yingting gritted his teeth and turned directly off the road.
"What are you doing?"
Lin Wenjue had already gotten into the car, looking at Zhou Yingting turning away from the road, feeling a bit puzzled, not knowing what Zhou Yingting was doing.
The navigation showed that going in this direction was completely off route and further ahead there was no road.
Moreover, going onto such sand dunes significantly slowed their speed.
The rear compartment was carrying a large oil tank, making the vehicle extremely heavy.
After entering the sandy area, the tires kept sinking down.
The original speed instantly slowed down at this moment.
Zhou Yingting felt this and stopped the car, realizing it wasn't feasible to drive through.
"You come with me and pull the oil out from inside."
Thinking about it, Zhou Yingting gritted his teeth and said.
He looked at other places; there weren't many opportunities to gather gasoline on the road ahead.
Unless they made a detour to other places to gather gasoline, which would waste even more time.
"What? There is oil inside?"
Lin Wenjue felt puzzled as he listened, and Song Qingyun woke up at this time, also feeling puzzled.
Not knowing what Zhou Yingting was planning to do.
At this moment, Zhou Yingting quickly explained the situation.
"I just discovered a mini-map showing that deep in this direction, there is a huge gasoline storage facility, and I plan to go fetch the gasoline."
"But driving in is too slow; I think we can go in together and pull the oil out."
Upon hearing this, Song Qingyun hesitated for a moment, "In such places like these sand dunes, if you go in too deep, what if you get lost? And, are you sure you can find the gasoline storage location inside?"
"Driving in at least means the car has navigation."
In such a place as the sand dunes, if lost inside, finding the way back out could be truly troublesome.
"Don't worry, it's not going to happen."
Hearing this, Zhou Yingting smiled slightly. He was carrying the freshly found air conditioning entry, and its side effects meant he essentially had a navigation, so he wouldn't get lost.
After speaking, he gestured to Lin Wenjue, "Let's go, let's hurry up and get this oil out, and we can save some time."
Lin Wenjue was a bit dazed, subconsciously glancing at Song Qingyun.
When he saw Song Qingyun nod, he quickly followed.
Being a newcomer, Lin Wenjue wasn't sure what he should do or what's required, so he could only follow their lead.
Zhou Yingting led Lin Wenjue swiftly toward the sand dunes, both speeding rapidly, disappearing from Song Qingyun's sight within moments.
Song Qingyun watched as Zhou Yingting charged into the sand dunes, his eyes filled with a touch of concern.
The last thing he wanted was for them to get lost in the sand dunes; if they got lost inside, it'd be truly troublesome.
Zhou Yingting ran toward the gasoline storage facility, moderating his speed slightly to accommodate Lin Wenjue behind him.
After the two ran for half an hour, they finally saw a gas station ahead.
To witness a gas station in such a place!
Lin Wenjue was momentarily stunned by the sight, then couldn't help but cheer.
Seeing a gas station here suggests there's a lot of oil!
Already drenched in sweat, he seemed to regain his energy, quickly rushing towards the oil well.
Soon, after the two reached and searched, they found a warehouse inside filled with barrels of gasoline.
These barrels were standard 200L, all filled with gasoline.
The two quickly found some planks around, strung the barrels together, and after securing them, began pulling them outside.
Lin Wenjue pulled eleven barrels, and Zhou Yingting pulled nineteen barrels, totaling thirty barrels, equating to 6000L.
The eleven barrels contained 2200L of gasoline, weighing approximately 1.59 tons; it was a challenge for Lin Wenjue, whose power was roughly 1.5 tons.
Luckily, they were dragging on sand, and Zhou Yingting's Commander entry boosted his attributes, enabling him to pull.
Zhou Yingting pulled nineteen barrels, totaling 3800L and weighing around 2.8 tons. Zhou Yingting's Tier Four capability equated to a power of 2.5 tons, but fortunately, the Commander entry boosted his power by another 4 points, making it possible to pull the nineteen barrels.
They had previously toiled to acquire only a few hundred liters of gasoline; now, pulling back 6000 liters in one go meant they wouldn't have to worry about gasoline for the foreseeable future.
