"Where did you get this thing, was it found while scavenging for resources on the road?"

Zhou Yingting glanced at the front of the other person's vehicle and couldn't help asking.

Even though they managed to find a lot of gasoline, saving as much as possible is crucial, as they don't know how far they still need to go.

With more than 6,400 liters of gasoline, at the current consumption rate, this train could run over 12,000 kilometers in total.

But by now, they had already covered 7,000 kilometers.

The remaining gasoline would only allow them to cover about 5,000 more kilometers.

Zhou Yingting had looked at the map earlier and, according to the scale on the navigation, they had covered about one-third of the journey, meaning there were still 14,000 kilometers left.

The remaining gasoline could cover a little over 5,000 kilometers, but they still lacked gasoline for 9,000 kilometers.

At the current consumption rate, they need 4,860 liters of gasoline for 9,000 kilometers, but considering they still need to install other entries later.

It's estimated that 4,860 liters of gasoline won't be enough; they should stock up on a bit more gasoline.

Calculations show that having about 6,000 liters of gasoline should be ample.

However, to find 6,000 liters of gasoline, they would have to find a gas station; otherwise, piecemeal amounts would take a long time to accumulate.

Looking back, there might still be gas stations.

Zhou Yingting pondered over this matter in his heart.

"We got this by exchanging it here."

Upon hearing Zhou Yingting's question, a slight unnatural expression flashed across the person's face, and their gaze wavered slightly.

Seeing this, Zhou Yingting immediately understood. From their expression, it seemed likely that the vehicle front was exchanged using a Life Quota?

"By the way, do you have a Level 1 Acceleration Entry here?"

Zhou Yingting didn't dwell on this issue; he approached them intending to trade.

"Level 1 Acceleration Entry, yes! What will you trade for it?"

Upon hearing this, the man in front nodded immediately, his face showing some anticipation.

"Will water do?"

After a moment of thought, Zhou Yingting casually asked.

Over the past few days, he had accumulated quite a bit of bottled water, and given that he was around, water wouldn't be lacking in the future.

"Water? How much water are you planning to trade?"

Hearing this, a man walked over from nearby and asked after arriving.

Judging by his demeanor, he was also part of the convoy.

Zhou Yingting pondered for a moment after hearing this, then said, "I saw in the group chat, is 50 liters of water enough for the exchange?"

"50 liters? That's too little."

The man who walked over immediately shook his head upon hearing this.

"50 liters is definitely not little; in the group chat, Level 1 entries are traded using this amount of water."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yingting said blandly.

Hearing Zhou Yingting's words, the man in front paused for a moment.

He had initially thought that Zhou Yingting wasn't aware of the group chat messages; now it seemed that the other party had also installed this entry.

In that case, it wouldn't be easy to deceive the other party.

After some thought, he realized that keeping the Level 1 Entry wasn't particularly useful, so trading it to Zhou Yingting was doable.

"Alright, let's trade for 50 liters of water then!"

Current water resources were very scarce; their group had very little left, and each person was rationed daily.

"Good, let me see the entry first."

Zhou Yingting nodded, then checked the entry from the other party to make sure it was correct before turning to fetch the fifty liters of water.

The water he brought was in bottles labeled with the number of liters, ensuring no errors during the trade.

When the two men saw the bottled water Zhou Yingting brought out, their eyes lit up.

"Brother, where did you get water like this? The water we found earlier was just a trickle in ditches."

The two spoke, their expressions showing a hint of joy.

"Oh, it's just that there was a gas station on the way. You know, places like gas stations often have a supermarket attached, where I found the water."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yingting casually lied.

The reality was, there was a gas station and a supermarket, but the supermarket was devoid of other supplies, with only gasoline.

Upon hearing this, the two people's faces lit up with joy, and as they completed the trade with Zhou Yingting, they were keen to engage in future trades.

Seeing the two's eager demeanor, Zhou Yingting thought for a moment and casually asked if they had any other entries.

To Zhou Yingting's surprise, the others had ceramic paste entries, two of which were Level 1.

These entries currently seemed useless, and since these people hadn't experienced Plasma erosion, they were completely unaware of the utility of these items.

Seeing this, Zhou Yingting immediately negotiated with the two people, taking out some food to exchange for the two entries in front of him.

The food Zhou Yingting took was some kinds of flatbread, which don't spoil easily and are very filling.

With just these kinds of flatbread, Zhou Yingting traded twenty to the other party in exchange for two ceramic entry tokens.

After the trade, Zhou Yingting was full of joy and quickly returned to the car to equip the tokens.

Thinking for a moment, Zhou Yingting looked at the screen beside him and decided to start shouting in the group.

"Is anyone coming to the Flame Mountain Supply Station for a trade? I have water and food here and I can trade for some entry tokens."

"If there's no one, I'll depart right away. If there is, let me know how long until you arrive."

No. 44 rarely called out in the group here, but as soon as he did, people were immediately attracted by the water and food.

"No. 44, how much water do you have, and what kind of food? I'm about to reach the Flame Mountain Supply Station. If the price is right, we can trade."

Soon, a message from No. 61 car also arrived.

"I'm almost at the Flame Mountain Supply Station too, about half an hour. I also need water and food. As for the entry tokens, I can trade a Level 3 Acceleration token, how about it?"

"I have a Level 2 Warm Fire Stove token here, which can raise the temperature by 20 degrees. Do you want it?"

"Are you crazy? In this hot weather, who would want a Warm Fire Stove token?"

The group chat immediately started buzzing, with many people contemplating making trades since they lacked too many things.

Water and food were urgently needed.

Zhou Yingting sat on the side, frowning at the fact that someone was actually offering a Warm Fire Stove token in the group.

What was the point of such a token appearing on this road?

"Don't say such nonsense, since this token appeared, it must have its purpose. Maybe it could be useful later. Also, don't you feel cold when sleeping at night? With such a token, at least you can rest easier at night."

The person offering the Warm Fire Stove token quickly rebutted.

If, by saying it was useless, others believed it, he would face price cuts in future trades.

"How much fuel does your Warm Fire Stove token consume?"

Zhou Yingting thought for a moment and asked directly in the group.

Everything else wasn't a big deal; the key was the fuel consumption.

"Two liters per hour," the group quickly responded to Zhou Yingting's inquiry.

"Damn, two liters per hour, that means sixteen liters for eight hours, isn't that a bit much?"

Someone was dumbfounded upon seeing this fuel consumption, "I've worked hard to get here, but I hardly have any gasoline left. Finally reaching this supply station, I was hoping to get more fuel, and now this Warm Fire Stove requires so much. Where's the sense in burning that much?"

"I'm still searching for fuel. My car is about to stall. If I had known, I wouldn't have installed so many tokens on the car, it's really fuel-intensive."

Messages kept pouring into the chat group.

Seeing this, Zhou Yingting pondered whether or not to take this entry token.

After a brief contemplation, Zhou Yingting decided to check around the supply station first, to see if there were any other items available for trade.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yingting got off the car and walked towards other spots.

A moment later, Zhou Yingting found the supply exchange station here.

At first glance, it was filled with tempting items.

But the prices were shockingly high.

A Level 1 Entry token required 100 liters of gasoline here. If one wanted a Level 3 Entry token, wouldn't they need 900 liters of gasoline?

Seeing this price, even Zhou Yingting couldn't help but shake his head, it was way too expensive.

To be clear, Zhou Yingting had only gathered a bit over six thousand liters of gasoline on this trip, which could only exchange for six Level 3 Entry tokens.

The things here were just too costly.

Upon further thought and with a glance at Blood Gold prices, it seemed relatively cheaper to use Blood Gold.

A Level 1 Entry token only required 10 Blood Gold, while gasoline could be bought at 30 Blood Gold for 100 liters.

Regrettably, he had spent all his Blood Gold in the Horror Dungeon, leaving none behind.

Yet, previously it was mentioned that one could exchange Life Quota for supplies, what did that mean?

Zhou Yingting searched around and quickly found a place for exchanging Life Quota.

Upon closer inspection, he realized it was for exchanging Life Quota for Blood Gold.

A year of life could be exchanged for 100 Blood Gold.

100 Blood Gold could exchange for 300 liters of gasoline.

If one wanted to exchange for 6000 liters of gasoline, it would require about 1800 Blood Gold, equivalent to 18 years of Life Quota.

If divided among three people, that would be roughly 6 years of Life Quota per person.

Making a bit of a sacrifice could get them enough gasoline and entry tokens for acceleration.

"Damn, playing like this?"

When Zhou Yingting calculated this, his expression changed dramatically, turning extremely grim.

Within a convoy, if each person contributed 20 years of Life Quota, they could upgrade the vehicle to top-level and have ample gasoline for use.
