Chapter 34: The Use of Money

Walking on the road full of zombies, dodging abandoned vehicles one by one, Claude and Liu Wanting finally came to the door of the gas station, an off-road vehicle crashed directly into the snack sales area of the gas station, behind the vehicle, a minivan overturned to the ground, and various fruits and vegetables were scattered on the ground.

Tomatoes, apples, cabbages, potatoes, most of them were trampled into mud, few of which could be preserved, and a large number of flies flew around them, and the disgusting insects scattered the moment Claude walked in.

Swatting the flies in front of her with her hand, Liu Wanting walked into the gas station, and immediately found the snack sales area and found some vacuum-packed food from the ruins.

She quickly unwrapped the packet of fries and stopped as she shoved it into her mouth, and then the woman walked up to Claude with the fries and handed them over with a smile.

Claude shook his head, he hadn't eaten for a long time, and since he became a zombie, he didn't know why he rarely felt hungry, and even if he was, he didn't have much interest in these things.

Ignoring the woman's gobbling, Claude carefully observed the environment. The zombies have basically been cleared, and the dense vehicles have filled this place, and I looked at the counter of the gas station, but I didn't expect that there was still electricity here.

Utilities such as gas stations are generally self-powered, and there are rarely power outages, and even if there is a power outage, they have an emergency power supply system. Claude looked at the lit machine and thought that this trip was likely to be a big gain.

Led the woman around to the back of the gas station, and sure enough, Claude saw a big catch, but it was too big.

A large iron box four meters square was fixed to the ground, and an iron railing surrounded it, and there was a warning on it that read "Electricity Leakage Hazard".

It's not really a leakage, it's just that it's very likely, and Claude tested it with the back of his hand on the iron box, and there was no feeling of electric shock. Stretching out the soles of his feet, he slammed it on the iron box, and the iron sheet that was not too thick was quickly deformed, and the iron door was opened forcefully, revealing the four diesel generator sets inside.

Yes, two are in operation and two are down, which should be used as a backup system. The engines weren't very loud, and there was a good soundproofing outside, but the thing was so big that Claude didn't think he could afford to carry them away.

Unless all the vehicles here are cleared, a road is cleared, and then the work can be done by crane, which is very troublesome and cannot be done by one person, Claude quickly gave up on this idea, and maybe he can come when he has more people.

Well, it's better to find diesel. Claude walked over to the diesel filler, where the machine was still functioning, and interestingly, it was sold automatically, and could be paid for with money or a credit card.

"Do you have any money there?" Claude felt in his pocket, apparently not carrying any of them.

"Hey, my bag is still in the car." Liu Wanting replied unclearly while eating snacks, she was really hungry and a little embarrassed to eat.

Claude remembered that there was money in the Buick he had just seen, but he didn't want to go back, so he picked up an iron rod and walked to the cash register, raised it high and dropped it again.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Liu Wanting watched as Claude smashed open the cash register, and then took out a small wad of bills.

"You!?"

"Haha, what's the matter, I've wanted to do this for a long time!" Claude smiled, found a large oil drum, and stuffed the red hundred-dollar bill into it, but luckily it worked, and the diesel quickly flowed out.

"It's useful, at least it's going to be exchanged for diesel." Claude shook the money and threw it into the sky, red bills flying in the air.

"Poof!" The woman laughed at once, she watched the money float around, falling to the ground and mixing with the rotten flesh and mud, if it had been before, she would have thought that this person was really sick, and now, she suddenly felt that she wanted to try it too.

Money? This thing can buy food, it can be bought to enjoy, but in this last days, this thing is just a piece of paper.

"What do you think is the situation now?" The woman asked Claude, and she was referring to the zombies, of course.

Claude looked at her and didn't answer anything.

"Is it a zombie? Demon-possessed? Is it a vampire? Is this the case all over the world? Or are we the only ones here? When a woman has eaten her fill, her mind begins to live.

Claude still didn't answer, he didn't know, in his previous life, he watched a lot of post-apocalyptic movies and TV series, and most of them said that this virus was a full-scale outbreak and out of control. For such things, Claude used to look at it as entertainment, and if you want to talk about reasonableness, you will lose if you are serious.

Who would have thought that this most unreasonable thing would happen, and it happened so suddenly, everything was a mystery, no one came out to answer it, and those experts and professors did not publish any authoritative statements on the newspaper network, as for the broadcast?

Claude turned on the radio on the car, but unfortunately, it was all noise, and none of them were still playing.

Cause? Does it matter? Reality says it all, the important thing is to live.

Claude took the lollipop handed over by the woman, looked at it and stuffed it into his mouth, there was no sweetness, no saliva, Claude just took it in his mouth dryly, he was thinking, he hadn't eaten for a long time, why was he still alive? Where does the energy come from?

The human body itself is an active energy, protein is the main component of human beings, and the activities of life need energy, just like the engine needs diesel. So, where does your energy come from? What kind of soul is it? Or is it killing experience? How did those zombies live? If they can't eat the living, will they starve to death?

Claude felt that this matter should be solved first, and if one day he ran out of gas and starved to death, it would be called miserable.

The woman collected a lot of food and snacks, and then the woman walked up to Claude and said a little embarrassedly, "Can you help find a department store?" ”

"Oh, do you need anything?" Claude put the diesel barrel in the trunk of the car, and the trunk of the 86 was small, only enough to fit two small kegs, and the other was placed in the back seat.

"That." The woman hinted.

"What?"

"Oh, that's it, soft and white, until dawn, free, unrestrained." Liu Wanting gestured with her hand.

"Huh? What the? Sleeping pill? Claude didn't quite understand what that meant, it sounds a little familiar, advertising slogan?

"Oh, really, it's a woman's thing, forget it." The woman waved her hand, and then whispered in the innermost: "Is it single?" Isn't that his girlfriend? ”

"My sister." Claude heard the woman whispering, and then he also understood what the woman needed, smiled and said, "There is a store near my house, let's get in the car and go." ”

The car roared and drove towards the road it had come, and at the gas station behind it, on the huge roof, a head stuck out, looked at the zombie that had fallen to the ground, hesitated for a long time, and finally hung down a rope. The man quickly slid down, rushed into the department store, picked up a pack of instant noodles and stuffed it into his mouth.

Looking out the window vigilantly, he found a backpack to put food in, and the man climbed onto the roof again, looking at the cars in the distance, thinking strangely about things. Who are those two people?
