Apocalypse Rebirth: 3000 million won at the beginning

Chapter 1614: Drought, the exploration team went out to open the blind box
The long period without rain has also had an impact on the natural environment.

Dong County, a small county town in the north of the oil city.

It is about 100 kilometers away from the oil city.

An exploration team searched the county for usable supplies.

There had been no rain for three or four months, and the trees on both sides of the street had withered. The few remaining leaves curled up under the scorching sun like aging skin.

The air was filled with dust and the smell of corruption, and occasionally a breeze blew up sand and torn pieces of paper.

The lakes in the city have dried up, and the cracked soil is like withered lips, begging for rain. The fountains in the square have long stopped, and the surface of the stone sculptures has been eroded by wind and sand, becoming rough and blurred.

The glass curtain walls of the shops on the ground floor no longer reflect brilliance, but a gray despair.

Nan Dou swallowed his dry throat, took out the water bottle from the backpack behind him, and poured it into his mouth, but there was not a drop of water in the bottle.

My throat is so dry it feels like smoking.

Looking at the murderous man searching for vehicles on the roadside, Nan Dou said:

"Brother Sha, I can't hold on any longer, hurry up and find some water. If I don't drink any water, I'm going to die of thirst!"

The tortillas they brought with them were already very dry, and now they were difficult to swallow due to lack of water.

Shaxin turned around. He had sharp eyes, a scar at the corner of his eye, a strong body, and was about 1.8 meters tall.

He picked up the intercom and said, "Old Three, drive the car over here."

Putting the walkie-talkie back into his pocket, he rummaged through the car next to him and threw out the black, worn blanket and various plastic bottles inside.

Suddenly he saw the partition under the trunk.

I pulled it upwards with all my strength, but it didn't open.

He pulled the dagger out from his thigh strap and tried to use it to pry open the partition.

Generally, a spare tire, car repair tools, mini fire extinguishers and the like are placed under this partition.

They can use these things.

Squeaky--

The cover was deformed by the pressure and he couldn't pry it open from any angle with a dagger.

"Nan Dou, come and help." Sha Xin shouted to Nan Dou behind him.

Nan Dou walked over reluctantly, "Brother Sha, it's been six years. If there were things on a car on the roadside like this, it would have been picked up by someone long ago. How could it be our turn?"

"Hurry up!" Sha Xin saw that he was hesitating and his tone was a little unpleasant.

Nan Dou walked over and saw the collapsed partition and said, "If there was something inside, it would have been crushed long ago."

Shaxin put away the dagger and pushed Nandou away.

"What else can you do if you keep complaining all day? Go away."

As he spoke, he walked to the front of the car, opened the roof, and looked at the standing hydraulic support rods.

He simply folded the support rod upwards.

ka ka ka-

The hydraulic support rod made a metallic friction sound, which was a bit sharp.

clang!
He broke the hydraulic support rod off from above.

The connection at the top was the most fragile, and it broke as soon as he bent it.

He walked to the back of the car with the hydraulic support rod in his hand and said to Nan Dou, "I'll use a dagger to pry open a hole in the partition, and you insert the support rod and push it up."

"it is good."

After saying that, Shaxin pulled out the dagger and pried open the gap between the cover and the car body.

creak creak-

The dagger rubbed against the cover.

The gap gradually became larger, "Hurry!" Shaxin shouted towards Nan Dou.

Nan Dou quickly inserted the hydraulic rod into the gap.

And push up with force.

When the gap became bigger, Shaxin pulled out the dagger.

At this point, the gap between the cover and the car body is large enough to insert a finger.

Sha Xin inserted his hands into the gap without hesitation and used the strength of his fingers to pull up hard.

creak creak-

The shriveled part of the cover slowly recovered, "One more person." Shaxin shouted to the back.

Immediately another person ran over and put his fingers into the gap together with Shaxin.

"I'll count to three, two, one, and push together."

"Three, two, one, hard!"

The three Shaxin people worked together and the trunk cover was slowly opened.

Boom!
The collapsed cover was lifted up.

A red box was revealed with a cross symbol inside.

In addition, there is a black box on the side.

Sha Xin quickly took out the two boxes.

Open the red box, and you will find dressing supplies, elastic head covers, snap-on tourniquets, elastic bandages, sterile dressings like gauze, bandages, iodine, disposable gloves, anti-inflammatory drugs and painkillers, etc.
Grass!
This blind box is opened!
It’s just that!

Just the two boxes of anti-inflammatory drugs and painkillers made the trip worth it!

In the end times, medicines are extremely scarce.

Especially anti-inflammatory drugs and painkillers!

Moreover, these two boxes of medicine have not been opened, and the price of these two boxes of medicine alone in the trading market exceeds 50 points!

What's more, there is a complete set of first aid tools here.

This package of in-vehicle medical first aid equipment and medicines can be used for self-rescue in the event of a traffic accident causing casualties.

In the end times, injuries are commonplace, and sometimes people may die from broken bones, excessive blood loss, or inflammation of the wound.

The things in this first aid kit are your second life!

Moreover, because the items in this first aid kit are very complete, if the whole set is sold, it can probably be sold for 70 points.

"Fuck, brother Sha! We are rich!"

Killing Heart glanced at him and said, "Didn't you just say there was nothing?"

Nan Dou said awkwardly: "Hey, my luck is bad, but Brother Sha is lucky. I got an Easter egg when I opened the blind box. Let's see what's in the black box?"

Sha Xin took a quick glance and said calmly, "No need to look, it must be a car repair tool."

"General repair tools are not this big." said Ge Xiang, who had just come over to help lift the cover.

"Open it and take a look."

Ge Xiang walked over excitedly and was about to open the black box, but was stopped by Nan Dou.

"Don't move, let Brother Sha come. Brother Sha is lucky. Let Brother Sha open the box. There must be a surprise."

Ge Xiang felt that Nan Dou was right, nodded and looked at Sha Xin.

"Brother Sha, you should come."

Sha Xin looked at the two of them like this and said speechlessly: "What's the difference?"

He closed the car first aid kit and walked over to the black box.

Under the expectant gazes of Ge Xiang and Nan Dou, he opened the black box neatly and quickly.

I saw that the box was filled with various tools.

Jack, live wire, car starting power supply, wrench, tow rope, strong flashlight, triangular warning sign, escape hammer, tape or insulating tape, etc.

Nan Dou picked up the high-intensity flashlight and turned it on.

It didn't light up, and he was a little disappointed.

But when he saw the USB port of the flashlight, he was immediately excited.

"Brother Sha, this can be charged!"

They have cars, so they can naturally charge their batteries in the cars.

In the trading market, flashlights with disposable batteries are not worth much, but rechargeable flashlights are worth a lot. This kind of high-intensity flashlight can illuminate far away places, which is especially suitable for teams like them who go out to search for supplies.

They can even find an electronics repair shop at a trade fair and have it modified into a UV flashlight.

This is much cheaper than buying a UV flashlight directly.

Sha Xin flipped through the repair tools and said, "Not bad. It just so happens that our car doesn't have any repair tools. Now we have everything."

"Brother Sha, you're awesome!" Ge Xiang gave him a thumbs up and praised.

Rumbling——

Behind them there came the sound of wheels rolling.

A beat-up pickup truck with its tires peeling off was spinning and swinging back and forth as the wheels rolled.

The wheels squeaked in protest as they rolled over the dusty road.

The paint on this dilapidated car has peeled off, revealing the mottled metallic color, as if time has carved deep wrinkles on its surface.

The seats in the car were badly worn, with the leather cracked, revealing the sponge and springs underneath, as if they could completely collapse at any time.

The car's hood had been secured to the front of the car with a thick rope to prevent it from flying up during the bumps, but this did little to reduce the vibrations in the cabin.

Every time the car turned a corner, the front of the car seemed to be separated from the body, making a terrifying squeaking sound.

They bought this car at a trade fair.
To be precise, they took an engine they found and some parts and asked the auto repair shop to assemble it for them.

Assembly costs up to 20 credits.

There's no way, they don't know how to assemble vehicles. These days it's easy for people with skills to earn points.

Crunch!

A pickup truck that looked like it would be dismembered at any time due to the vibration stopped next to Shaxin and the others.

"Brother Sha, are we leaving here? Hey! Did you find something?" The third brother got down from the driver's seat.

The third brother saw the red box and the opened vehicle maintenance box, with wrenches, flashlights and other tools inside.

Nan Dou said with some pride: "Sha Ge and I discovered it together."

Ge Xiang glanced at him, pursed his lips, and thought to himself: He really knows how to talk!

Shaxin stood up and said to Nandou:

"Fourth Brother, gather your things and put them in the car. We'll go find Second Brother and the others, and then look for a source of water."

"Okay."

Nan Dou closed the black car repair box and carried the two boxes into the car.

He sat down in the back seat.

Shaxin also got in the car and sat in the passenger seat.

"Let's go find the second brother and the others." Sha Xin said to the third brother.

The third brother closed the car door, then connected a rope to the car window and tied the other end to the back seat.

The car door is broken, and this is the only way to close it.

"Damn, store number five in the trading bazaar is such a rip-off. They charged us twenty points and only gave us one of these things." The third brother couldn't help but complain.

Sha Xin saw that the door on the driver's side was indeed inconvenient to open and close, so he said:

"Let's look for a matching door on the roadside later, and then we can replace it ourselves."

"Yeah." The third brother started the car.

The tattered pickup truck rumbled forward.

It even freezes from time to time, and the recoil is amazing.

They feel as comfortable sitting in the car as if they were sitting on a rocking car.

"Second brother, where are you?" Sha Xin picked up the walkie-talkie to contact the second brother Cheng Yun.

zizi.

A few seconds later, a reply came over the intercom.

"Brother, we are in the east of the city, at a textile factory. Do you have any harvest there?"

"Yes, I found a car first aid kit, which contained two boxes of anti-inflammatory drugs and painkillers, as well as a car repair kit with all the tools. Not bad. How about yours?"

"I found a basket of socks, about a hundred pairs, all wearable. There was also a warehouse of clothes, but the warehouse was flooded, and the clothes inside were moldy and scattered."

"Okay, it's better than nothing."

Sha Xin felt a little regretful. In fact, if he could find the clothes, he could take them back to the trading market to sell them. Although the price was not high, as long as the quantity was large, he could still earn points.

What's more, they have pickup trucks and can transport a lot at one time.

Unfortunately, due to the heavy rains and floods in recent years, many things were soaked in water.

Things like textiles, electronic products, wooden products, and food, once soaked in water for a few months, are basically useless.

They were all moldy and smelly, and even falling apart.

The most regrettable thing about going out to look for supplies is not that we didn't find anything, but that we found a bunch of scrapped things like this.

Ten minutes later, they arrived at the East City Textile Factory.

I watched the second and sixth brothers carrying a large plastic basket filled with packaged socks.

The seventh brother opened the tailgate at the back of the pickup truck, and the second and sixth brothers lifted the socks up.

Sha Xin leaned his head out of the car window and said, "Second brother, seventh brother, sixth brother, hurry up and get in the car. Let's go find some water."

The second brother stepped on the tire, climbed onto the pickup truck, and sat on the truck bed.

Lao Qi pushed the truck bed baffle back first, then put the bolt down to lock the baffle to prevent it from moving.

Then got in the car again.

When the second brother saw them all get into the car, he patted the body of the car.

"Let's drive."

Chu tu tu tu——

The Doomsday scrapped pickup truck is back on the road.

Shaxin took the map out of the package and spread it out.

The map was wrinkled, with creases all over it, and even marks of blood.

Shaxin picked up the map and looked at it closely.

Where is the big river near Dong County?

After looking carefully twice, he finally set his target point at a reservoir 17 kilometers away from here.

"Go northeast, Dongshan Reservoir."

He handed the map to the fourth child, Nan Dou.

"Fourth brother, you used to be a top student, so you can understand the map better. Tell the third brother how to get there."

Nandou took the map and said, "Brother, let's go to the Dongshan Reservoir area first. If we can find a river that has not dried up on the way, we can also get water."

"Nonsense. Let's go that way first."

It just so happened that the car also needed water, and they didn't have much coolant, so adding some water would help.

"Fourth brother, have you seen clearly which direction these two roads lead to?" Cheng Yun asked Nan Dou who was behind him.

At this time they had arrived at the outskirts of the city and faced two forks in the road.

Nan Dou took a quick look at the map, then looked at the landmarks outside.

“This road on the right.”

"Row."

The third brother, Cheng Yun, stepped on the accelerator and accelerated to the east.

Huff, Huff—

This old pickup truck was driving on a bumpy road. Perhaps due to the engine, the combustion was not complete, causing the vehicle to jam at the front or back.

There were some mud and stones on the road, and it was bumpy up and down.

Those of them sitting on the truck bed had to hold on to the body of the truck tightly to avoid being shaken off.
