Chapter 271: Advantages Of The Diesel Truck
4:30 PM.
Yu Jiang’s Team is at the original highway intersection in Doomsday City. Inside the congested cars on the road, there are not only zombies, but also gasoline that can be picked up, and various usable supplies in the suitcases.
This challenge instance supply point is a bit hard to clear. They haven’t found the key zombie to accept the mission yet, or maybe there is no supply point at all.
This area is open on all four sides, yet various cars are blocking the road haphazardly, limiting their movement. They can only fight while searching, unable to position the zombies in a specific spot to fight.
At this moment, a message appeared on the public screen.
[Player ‘Life is Like a Play’ completed the solo challenge ‘Petroleum Refinery Factory’ and obtained the achievement ‘Gasoline Tycoon’]
[Player ‘Blue Umbrella’ obtained the achievement ‘Physical Exorcism Master’]
[Player ‘Hand Holding Cleaver Chopping Wire’ obtained the achievement ‘Sweep the Battlefield’]
[Player ‘Joy’ obtained the achievement ‘Got the Hang of It’]
[Players ‘Kiss of Death’ and ‘Solomon Demon God’ obtained the achievement ‘Get a Tattoo Behind Satan’]
Amidst busily gathering supplies, Yu Jiang looked up and carefully read the announcement twice.
The first few are all solo instance clears. The last message seems to be from a team in area 005. Kiss of Death is 5th on the wealth ranking and in the top twenty on the combat power ranking.
The team entered, and both got achievements. The experts in 005 might be a bit lacking in instance clearing, but their combat power and ruthlessness are definitely not lacking.
From these people’s achievements, quite a bit of information can be gleaned.
Life is Like a Play most likely brute-forced it through. Gasoline Tycoon, such an enviable achievement.
Petroleum Refinery Factory, a parallel city area, probably only one exists with high probability.
All survival teams want to find gasoline resources, Yu Jiang’s Team included. They chose the highway intersection only because they hadn’t encountered a petroleum factory.
Following the challenge instance logic, this place has gas stations and charging stations, with a high probability of obtaining vehicle energy.
The team has mostly gasoline vehicles, especially since everyone’s vehicle levels have increased, and fuel consumption is extremely terrifying.
Vehicles with off-road performance already consume a lot of energy, not to mention high levels, with greater vehicle weight and size.
As comfortable as it is to live in, that’s how painful it is to see the fuel consumption.
Many players can’t afford to level up vehicles not because they can’t upgrade them, but because they can’t afford to refuel or buy batteries.
Kuang Kuang Kuang pure whales crystal coins. Because the rocker vehicle leveled up, directly investing crystal coins is much more cost-effective than collecting batteries.
Besides investing crystal coins to move forward, her car sings, and it sings “What’s Grandpa’s Dad Called,” but nothing else is wrong.
Strawberry Candy has the diesel truck, with maxed-out performance. In the past, they were military-use, and here it’s fuel-efficient, with 50% more loss bar capacity than other vehicles.
Others can’t drive at 95% loss, but her car has no issue at 95% loss, with still 55% loss space left. It’s just that repairs are a bit expensive.
Yu Jiang looked at the announcement, but her hands didn’t slow down. A monster touched her from behind, and she stabbed it twice in response. She picked up two waterproof suitcases, stored them in her grid, and shifted positions.
More than an hour later, Yu Jiang’s Team left the instance. Today, besides a batch of medicinal herbs, they also harvested a total of 1500 liters of gasoline cards, 200 liters of diesel, and 5 charging cards.
After clearing the gas station next to the instance, it’s the service area. Yu Jiang had been there before, some time ago. She scavenged in the unused abandoned service area, and the NPC thought she was a good person for helping clean up trash.
The service area has no other functions, but it gives away for free one charging card, 50L gasoline, and 50L diesel.
Then, you can convert gasoline, batteries, and diesel for free into gasoline/charging card form.
One grid can hold at most 50L gasoline, but if it’s cards, it can hold 99.
Therefore, cards are a bit more expensive than gasoline and batteries on the trading market.
Being able to convert for free at the service area is pretty good, but unfortunately, inside the instance service area, she couldn’t convert for other team members.
1500 liters of gasoline divided among Shi Xu, Pure Love Cockroach Spicy Spicy, and Purple Butt Can Do It. They would replenish some batteries for Yu Jiang and Lightning Mage King, and a bit of diesel for Strawberry Candy.
Don’t think the gasoline quantity is a lot. Pure Love Cockroach Spicy Spicy’s medium truck and Purple Butt Can Do It’s business RV both need over a hundred liters to fill the tank. Shi Xu’s level 6 armored off-road single-layer RV needs several hundred liters.
Life is Like a Play and Blue Umbrella also have level 6 vehicles, all gasoline vehicles.
With more high-level gasoline vehicles, and high consumption, gasoline prices will definitely be expensive.
After distributing the supplies, the team knocked off work to rest.
It’s already past 7 PM, finally a bit cooler. These two days the temperature has been relatively stable, around 32-35 degrees during the day, twenties at night. Houses with vengeful spirits are even cooler, with cold air blowing whoosh.
In thirty-plus degree weather, running a bit gets you drenched in sweat. Clearing instances, fighting monsters, and moving supplies is not easy.
After the first instance, Yu Jiang’s Team finds a house with ghosts to cool off before going to the next one.
Free air conditioning shouldn’t be wasted.
Before in the rainforest, everyone was used to the muggy weather, overall feeling okay. Being able to maintain over thirty degrees consistently, all players should burn incense for that.
These two days stamina consumption has been too high. At night, they need to eat something good. Yu Jiang took a shower and stood in front of the refrigerator, looking at the ample stored food inside, feeling completely secure.
Ribs kelp soup, sweet and sour ribs, and shredded potato.
She took her usual bowl, portioned out the rice and dishes from the preservation box according to her appetite, and put them back in place.
Neat and tidy, it just improves the mood.
From afternoon until now, the public screen has been talking about challenge instances. There are many teams taking money to carry players, and quite a few conflicts arising.
Start with a Bowl: [Be careful of some teams that look like they have decent combat power. They talk nicely when taking money, but a player I know went, and their nickname got blackened.]
Stinky Tofu King: [Don’t mention it. Kowtowing to join a high combat power team, actually just paying crystal coins to work for them. Their team has clear hierarchies and doesn’t treat regular players as people at all. Talking about the Heartless Water team.]
Romantic Manufacturing Machine: [Teams naturally require following arrangements. What’s wrong with putting in effort? No effort wouldn’t be that price. Stop splashing dirty water here.]
Stinky Tofu King: [Dividing supplies after putting in effort was agreed upon, right? What did you divide? Don’t you have a conscience?
Your healer only watches your own teammates’ health bars. No problem with us putting in effort, but not even watching our health bars to give skills? A Thousand Lamps Exhaust Snow, a healer worth her name, you saying she can’t even do this?]
Masked Hero Missing Two Teeth: [It was very despairing on site. Three entrances total, making us guard one alone. The healer completely ignored us. When we couldn’t hold, they said we were too weak. Really fed up. If we had the strength, we wouldn’t pay crystal coins to be carried. Who said the combat power teams in old area 002 were pretty good?]
Shishi Ruyi: [You found the wrong team. The one I went to was good, distribution was pretty fair.]
Start with a Bowl: [Any spots left? Please carry me.]
Masked Hero Missing Two Teeth: [Carry me too. I never want to go to a bottomless pit team again. We deducted 100 crystal coins to exit directly. Better to lose money than work for free.]
Shishi Ruyi: [Probably no spots. I got in because a merchant caravan helped arrange it. In area 003, never had such good days, wuwuwu.]
Cai Gou Guoguo: [Players who got achievements solo seem to be just the top few on the combat power ranking. Feels like the difficulty is very high.]
