96. Refueling

As expected, knee-deep snow had a very serious impact on this part of the road. But fortunately, the Buggy car has excellent off-road performance, and this kind of road is not impossible to run, but it is necessary to do some anti-skid treatment.

After searching the town, Ding Hao quickly found a long thin iron chain, which was wrapped around the tires of the off-road vehicle to improve the friction, so that the off-road vehicle could continue to drive in the snow, but the speed would be much lower.

But Ding Hao completely ignored a problem, when he got the car, Danen, a technician of the Volunteer Army, said that a full 60-liter fuel tank could travel 750 kilometers, which meant that it was under the original weight. But after Ding Hao's modification, the weight of the lightweight Baji car has increased by almost 60%, and the road is now covered with thick snow, and it only used up a full tank of gasoline in two-fifths of the way.

"Do you have to find fuel halfway?" Ding Hao looked at the empty fuel tank with a helpless face, and then took out the spare fuel in the interface space and poured it in. The spare fuel is only 60 liters, and judging from the current consumption, it is obvious that it will not last to San Francisco, and now I hope to meet some gas stations and other places where there may be fuel on the road to refuel.

Driving the off-road vehicle to the south, along the way, Ding Hao saw a lot of frozen mutant creatures on both sides of the road, and now these corpses have all become the food of other living mutant creatures, watching Ding Hao drive by, these mutant creatures are all guarding the corpses and grinning in the direction of Ding Hao.

Moreover, some mutated creatures that did not find food would chase Ding Hao's off-road vehicle for a long distance.

This strange scene couldn't help but remind Ding Hao of the terrifying ultra-low temperature blizzard last night, as well as the corpse-like ice messenger, there must be some kind of special connection between the two, and it is unlikely that the blizzard that dropped by thirty degrees in an instant was naturally formed.

After about 400 kilometers of driving, it's close to San Francisco, and as you get further south, the temperature starts to rise slowly, and the snow on the ground is not as thick as before, which is good news, but then the bad news is that the fuel tank is running out of fuel again.

"Gas station, where is there a gas station?" Now we have to find a place to refill some fuel, even if it's a deal with someone. Ding Hao opened the map and looked at it carefully, because there was no satellite positioning function, so Ding Hao could only deduce that he should be on the highway about 100 kilometers away from San Francisco, so there are many small towns nearby. The United States of Blue Eagle is also a vast and sparsely populated country, relying entirely on cars for travel, and if there is a small town, then there must be a gas station.

After driving a few more kilometers, Ding Hao finally found an abandoned gas station, but this gas station was occupied by a group of ghouls.

In order to avoid causing an explosion at the gas station, Ding Hao didn't dare to use a firearm, so the long-dormant Super Blade Compound Bow finally came out again.

Ding Hao quietly approached the gas station in a hidden state, then pulled the bowstring, and shot an arrow at a ghoul who was eating the corpse of a mutated creature on the side of the gas station, and the sharp arrow simply pierced the ghoul's head, and the ghoul fell to the ground without saying a word.

But the creature of ghouls has an unusually sensitive sense of hearing, and even the slightest sound of bowstrings can be heard, and immediately two ghouls came up to find out what it was that made those strange sounds.

Looking at the two ghouls getting closer and closer, Ding Hao pulled out two hunting arrows from the interface space and clamped them with his fingers, this is a quick shooting trick, after shooting one, you can immediately put the other arrow on the arrow platform, so that you can save the time of drawing arrows and greatly shorten the interval between attacks.

Seeing the two ghouls coming over one after the other, Ding Hao took a few steps to the side, not letting the ghouls in front block the one behind, and then pulled out his bow and shot an arrow at the back ghouls.

The ghoul in the back was immediately hit by an arrow in the head, his whole head was raised high, and then he collapsed directly to the ground. Hearing the movement behind him, the ghoul walking in front subconsciously turned around, only to be shot in the back of the head by another arrow.

Although I haven't played for a while, my hands haven't been born yet, and the head is still the same.

After killing the three ghouls, Ding Hao quietly shifted his position, killing too many in the same place is easy to be caught, and it is not fun for a group of ghouls to swarm in.

Found a big tree and climbed up, at this angle, you can see that there is a bunch of ghouls in the gas station in a circle and are deducting carrion from the carcass of a mutated wild boar to eat, Ding Hao took out a hunting arrow, removed the arrow, installed a wire trap at the arrow position, and then aimed at the middle of the ghoul group and shot an arrow.

Woohoo! With a series of slight cracking sounds, the ghouls were instantly cut into several pieces by the sharp wire.

With the instant death of this group of ghouls, the remaining ghouls in the entire gas station were all alarmed, and they ran out of the corners where they were hiding, looking for the sneak attackers.

In fact, there are only two left.

Looking at the ghouls running around in the snow, Ding Hao didn't bother to use the compound bow, and directly took out the bloody thorn dagger, jumped down from the tree and rushed towards the nearest ghoul.

Oh! Seeing Ding Hao rushing over, the ghoul subconsciously let out a low roar, and then waved these two sharp claws and pounced on Ding Hao, but only to see a flash of cold light, a thin line suddenly appeared on the ghoul's neck, and beads of blood seeped out, and then the ghoul tilted his head, and his head fell off like this.

The sharpness of the bloody thorns was simply terrifying, and slashing the ghoul's neck didn't even feel the slightest obstacle.

Ding Hao caught the ghoul's head, and then smashed it on the head of another ghoul with his backhand, the huge force smashed the ghoul staggering back several steps, and when the ghoul came back to his senses, Ding Hao had already rushed over, and stabbed the bloody thorns into its jaw, crushing its shrunken brain.

Pulling out the dagger, the ghoul fell limply to the ground, this was the last one, and the gas station was safe.

After putting away the dagger, Ding Hao took out the oil drum and siphon from the interface space, unscrewed the valve of the oil storage tank, and then began to suck the residual fuel in the tank. Fuel is volatile, after so many years of wind and sun, there is little fuel left in the tank, Ding Hao completely swept the three oil storage tanks at the gas station to collect most of the barrel of fuel, about 40 liters.

It's not much, but it's more than enough to get to San Francisco by car.
