Immortal in The Apocalypse
Chapter 145: Gift

Chapter 145: Gift

After a moment of silence, the members of the Red Tiger team came back to their senses and hurriedly chased after their captain. If even their captain ran away from this man, there is no way they could defeat him. Rather than stay here and get beaten, it is better to escape and save your own life.

Seeing that there were only two of them left, Xiu Wu turned to look at Zhu Lin and asked, "Xiao Lin, are you alright?"

Zhu Lin looked at his worried expression and replied with a smile: "I’m fine."

Xiu Wu looked relieved when he heard that she was fine. He looked around and said, "Let’s check the oil tank and get as much oil as possible."

As they walked towards the nearest oil tank, Zhu Lin asked, "Xiu Wu, why do you need so much oil?"

He thought for a while and said, "I don’t know if you already know that oil is very important in this world or not. But before the end of the world, people need oil in every aspect of their daily life. After the end of the world, the production line cannot continue while zombies and Mutants are rampant."

He turned to look at her and added: "Besides, there is only less than ten percent of the world’s population that manage to survive when the apocalypse begins. Without people, skills, equipment, and the proper conditions, humanity cannot produce oil anymore."

Seeing that she listened to him seriously, Xiu Wu smiled and said, "Since oil is a consumable, collecting more oil is the right thing to do. We can use oil as hard currency to buy things we can’t get by ourselves once we start our base construction."

After listening to his explanation, Zhu Lin looked at the huge oil tanks and said, "It would be great if there was still oil on those tanks."

Xiu Wu listened to her words and smiled, then said, "Since Zeng Zihao is still here claiming that this refinery is under their jurisdiction, I think there should be some oil left in these oil tanks."

After he said that, they checked the nearby oil tanks and found that half of them were still full of oil. Since the oils were smelly and dirty, Zhu Lin put them in a new Qiankun bag and gave the Qiankun bag to Xiu Wu.

Xiu Wu looked at the beautifully crafted small purse in his palm and asked, "Why did you give me this?"

Zhu Lin did not answer his question but pricked his finger with her spiritual energy, and a drop of blood fell on the Qiankun bag from Xiu Wu’s fingertip. Before Xiu Wu could ask her why she did this, his mind suddenly buzzed for a second.

Seeing him looking at her doubtfully, Zhu Lin opened the Qiankun bag and said, "Try using your mind to look inside the Qiankun bag."

Although he had doubts in his heart, Xiu Wu still followed her instructions. When he tried to ’look’ into the Qiankun Bag with his mind, his eyes widened in surprise. He looked at Zhu Lin in shock, as an empty and vast place appeared in his mind. In the corner of that place, there were the oil tanks he thought were stored in Zhu Lin’s space.

Seeing his reaction, she smiled at him and said, "This Qiankun bag is a gift for you. Since you already bind it with you, then only you can store and take items out from this Qiankun bag. But you can’t store any living beings inside. They would suffocate to death."

While listening to Zhu Lin’s explanation, Xiu Wu tried to put his backpack into the Qiankun bag. With a thought, the backpack disappeared and appeared inside the Qiankun Bag. Then he tried to take out the backpack from the Qiankun Bag, and the backpack appeared in his hands a second later.

After trying it a few more times, Xiu Wu tied the Qiankun bag on his belt and said, "Thank you, Xiao Lin. I like this Qiankun bag very much. It’s very convenient."

Zhu Lin glanced at the beautiful Qiankun bag tied on his belt, and then looked at Xiu Wu, who was dressed in black, showing off his manly demeanor. After a moment of silence, she felt that the Qiankun bag made him look a little silly.

Xiu Wu didn’t know that she found his style with the addition of the Qiankun bag interesting, so he smiled at her and said, "We should go now. Otherwise, we won’t be able to buy enough ore today."

After collecting the remaining oil in the refinery, the two of them left the refinery and walked to the intersection between the military base and the Lie Huo base. When they arrived, there were already many people waiting there.

Xiu Wu glanced at his watch, and saw that it was already one o’clock in the afternoon. He looked around and found a bus stop not far away, and said, "Let’s open a stall under the bus stop."

Although the temperature has been slowly dropping over the past few days, it is still very hot standing directly under the sun. Covered by the ice silk cloak, Zhu Lin didn’t feel hot, but she still nodded and agreed to Xiu Wu’s suggestion.

When she arrived at the bus stop, Zhu Lin took out the long table, a whiteboard with a price list written on it, and one large and one small scale. She then took out staple foods, vegetables, fruits and water from the Qiankun bag and put them on top of the long table.

When the people from the military base saw that there were more varieties of food they could choose today than yesterday, they couldn’t help but look at Zhu Lin and Xiao Wu a few more times. As for the people who came here to exchange ore for the first time, they were so surprised when they saw the fresh food that their jaws almost dropped to the ground.
