Chapter 1290 - Three-thousand Buckets of Gasoline
Chapter 1290: Three-thousand Buckets of Gasoline
“So, you saved these and spent seven years waiting for me?” Lin Wenwen blinked her eyes while looking at them, who nodded together.
“These are only a part of what we plan to give you. The rest is stored somewhere else. We’ll take you to get it when we have time,” Dong Xinxin glanced at those iron buckets and smiled.
Hearing that, Lin Wenwen paused briefly with surprise, then said, “What? There’s more for me? How many supplies have you stocked before the apocalypse?”
“We have several storages. During the past seven years, we’ve only taken out a part of our stock. After we moved into the base, we started eating the same food as the others in the base. After all, the supplies we have in stock are our last safeguard we’ve been saving,” Dong Lijia said with a smile.
Lin Wenwen turned and glanced outside the door. Thankfully, she didn’t sense the vibe of anyone else. The conversation that was happening at the moment was top-secret. Things could be troublesome of anyone with foul intentions heard it.
“Was it really appropriate for you to just let me know?” Lin Wenwen spread her hands and sighed.
“You already know about it anyway. We believe that you will never betray us,” Dong Xinxin raised her eyes to look at her and said seriously.
Lin Wenwen shook her head and said, “You have to know that people change, especially in this post-apocalyptic era. Don’t trust anyone too much except for yourself. Don’t even over-trust your big brother!”
While speaking, she abruptly pointed at Dong Lijia.
Hearing her words and watching her point at himself, Dong Lijia immediately grew unhappy. He turned up his lip corners and complained, “Wait a second! What do you mean by she can’t even trust me? I agree with you that one should trust oneself more, but I love Xinxin so much! Why would I ever betray her? Did the enemy send you to us? Are you trying to ruin the relationship between Xinxin and me?”
He didn’t understand why Lin Wenwen seemed to grasp all opportunities to make him unhappy. They were friends who had reunited not long ago. They were supposed to be nice to each other.
Dong Xinxin gave Dong Lijia a glance, then turned back to Lin Wenwen as she nodded and said, “You’re right. You don’t know what people are thinking about. Who knows when and under what condition the people you trust will change their minds? Dong Lijia hasn’t met the girl he likes yet. When that girl shows up, he might even forget about me, his little sister.”
Lin Wenwen laughed while Dong Lijia didn’t even know what to say. At that moment, the expressionless Deng Chenfei joined the conversation, “If your brother ever did anything to hurt you, I’ll kill him for you.”
Luo Yuanjun also came to Dong Xinxin and said to her with a grin, “Yeah, and me, and me!”
Dong Lijia gave a kick to Luo Yuanjun, who had moved to Dong Xinxin’s side, and said, “Go away! I’ll protect my own sister. You two are not needed.”
Being kicked to the side, Luo Yuanjun shrugged and said, “I want to protect her. That’s my business. It has nothing to do with you.”
Lin Wenwen rolled her eyes and said, “Alright, alright, stop this! Since these are all for me, I’ll just take them. Thankfully, my space is large enough now, or else there wouldn’t be enough room for so many iron buckets.”
Luo Yuanjun waved at her as he urged, “Just take them! I wonder how long it’ll take you to put all three-thousand buckets into your space.”
Lin Wenwen turned around and put both hands on the iron bucket before her. As same as Lin Qiao, she needed to touch with her hand and use her will power at the same time to put something into her space.
Her space wasn’t as large as Lin Qiao’s, but it wasn’t small either. Currently, the supplies that she collected seven years ago had only taken about thirty percent of the room in her space. So, after she put in the three-thousand buckets of gasoline, there would still be plenty of room in there.
“We really didn’t think that the Wen we met seven years ago would be you. You guys built a new base seven years after we met. No wonder I always felt that we could not just stay in Sea City Base. I guess it’s because your base needs fresh blood like us to strengthen it,” Dong Xinxin folded her arms and put a hand on her chin as she looked at Lin Wenwen and said.
Currently, the All Beings Base was still young, a small base with a small population. It needed to take in more people to expand the scale of the base. After all, one wouldn’t take a small, young base like that seriously when it was located right near the large, mature Sea City Base.
While putting the gasoline buckets into her space, Lin Wenwen turned and said to her, “Yeah, because Sea City Base is right near us. Our base was founded under Sea City Base’s protection, so of course, we have to take their influence seriously. But it’s okay. Our base is built up already. Things will get better and better.”
Currently, All Beings Base had all the supplies they needed and the zombie army. By the time her sister made the zombie army great enough to face the world, All Beings Base would have the power to get a strong foothold in the post-apocalyptic world.
Also, because of the zombie army, All Beings Base didn’t need a large human population for the time being. So, they had to be patient and to expand the base step by step.
“Why did you guys choose to build the base here? Why didn’t you build it further away from Sea City Base?” Luo Yuanjun asked a question.
Lin Wenwen paused briefly to think, and then she responded, “About that… I think I need to ask our Chief. It was her decision. I guess it was because we needed Sea City Base’s protection at first. After all, Hades Base was destroyed and so many people had died. We were desperately short-handed at that time.”
Luo Yuanjun thought for a moment and nodded. “I’m surprised that Sea City Base people were actually willing to let you build the base right near theirs,” he said, “Your base is located about a hundred miles away from theirs, but still, their hunting ground shrank because of the rise of your base. How did you guys convince them?”
“Well,” Lin Wenwen replied, “We have our things to offer. Otherwise, how could we cooperate with Sea City Base?”
Before the base was founded, it was Lin Qiao who needed the negotiations and she made some deals with Wu Chengyue. But now, the two of them had become family!
“I’m more curious about your Chief. How come she’s become like a totally different person? Did you know her before?” Dong Lijia was curious about the relationship between Lu Tianyu and Lin Wenwen and her family.
In his eyes, Lu Tianyu had become a completely different person since she died a year ago. That was not a strange thing. The strange thing was that she helped the survivors of Hades Base and even built a new base for them. That was really hard to understand.
Lin Wenwen thought for a moment and nodded, “Hmm… we did know each other!”
Before Lu Tianyu’s death, Lin Wenwen didn’t know her, but she knew her after that.
“No wonder she helped you guys,” Dong Lijia nodded as he thought for a moment and continued, “She was hiding her real power so well! She made people think that she was relying on men for survival, but in fact, she was super powerful! I guess she wouldn’t have revealed her true power so soon if she didn’t get killed a year ago.”
