Chapter 164 Keep it up!
"This place is so desolate," Shen Qingqing said, looking at the world outside where there were almost no traces of insectoids.
"This used to be a large production and logistics center. Thirty percent of the Zerg's daily necessities were produced here and transported to various parts of the planet."
Andorra merely glanced at it indifferently and continued driving.
"However, after the wolf clan sprayed the reagent that could cause our clan to regress into hibernation, it was abandoned."
Outside the car window, an island resembling a floating island appeared, silently drifting in the air, as if forgotten by the world.
It floated alone in the air, letting the sunlight shine on the island's buildings, the dazzling light reflecting off them telling them how glorious this place once was.
"It's a pity, though, that most of what's here are everyday items, and there aren't any handy weapons or anything like that."
As the armored vehicle doors opened, they entered the floating staircase and ascended towards the floating island.
The once towering buildings, dozens of stories high and seemingly endless, are now gradually shrinking, becoming miniature versions of the map.
Fortunately, the energy supply here is fully automated nuclear power. Normally, no other Zerg are needed, and regular maintenance is sufficient to provide the energy consumption of an entire city for a whole year.
This is the main reason why this floating city can continue to float in the air.
The Zerg have always been an intelligent and wise race, and throughout the long history they have learned how to obtain the greatest benefit with the least loss.
“If this place hadn’t been affected, it would have been the Zerg’s largest supply of rear resources,” Andor said, walking to a shelf and picking up a can of food.
"They're all light industrial products. Andorra, what are you looking for?"
When they saw Andorra walk up the floating elevator, they followed.
Shen Qingqing thought he was looking for something, but he said instead, "I saw you looking at this place and thought it was fun, so I came."
As they were chatting, they turned around and found that Leah and Vivi were gone.
Not far away, the clothing section echoed with Leah's frantic screams.
"Ahhh, I love this place so much! So many beautiful clothes!"
"Wrap all of these up!"
When they were about to leave, Leah had changed into a red dress, and Xiao Wei was carrying a large pile of clothes and jewelry for her.
This time they left through the exit, and of course, Leah couldn't leave without paying.
She slowly raised her hand and changed the scrolling text on the screen to "Free for everyone".
Then he swaggered away.
Without the hassle of choosing a shopping mall or trying on clothes indiscriminately, Leah felt that the happiest thing in the world was being able to shop freely in the mall.
Although she ultimately did not take the clothes out with her.
"Lia, you picked out so many clothes, why did you only wear one?"
Shen Qingqing thought that she would pack up all those clothes and take them with her, but unexpectedly, Liya just tried them on and then changed into her original white shirt.
"Sigh, what can we do? There's no room left in our armored vehicles." She said, glancing reluctantly at the pile of clothes on the front desk.
Silently, I changed the scrolling text back to its original state.
"I also want to buy, buy, buy, but my means don't allow it... Besides, we're just here for a stroll. These clothes look like they were stolen. Even though they were stolen, I'm not so destitute that I have to resort to robbing people openly."
"When I make money in the future, I will definitely buy myself a red dress that truly belongs to me."
They then left the mall via a suspended elevator, beneath an advertising screen displaying a variety of dazzling clothing items.
Leah still looked back reluctantly at the colorful and eye-catching posters on the advertisement.
Finally, they sighed and continued their journey.
In such a large logistics center, they couldn't find a single vehicle.
There weren't even any aircraft.
"It looks like it's been bombed," Andor said, looking at the empty storage center.
"I don't know who came up with the idea, but they cut off almost all modes of transportation."
"Who else could it be? It's probably Gatana." When it comes to such a treacherous tactic, the only person Leah can think of is Gatana. "The Wolf Clan just wants to exterminate the Zerg. As for the rest, they don't care."
After they started the vehicle again, the once magnificent and still radiant building behind them receded further and further away until it became an indistinct black dot behind the car.
Then, after traveling for several dozen kilometers, the armored vehicle stopped again.
"Where are we this time?" Leah asked casually.
"We just passed a logistics center and a large shopping mall, and then a tourist area. Where are we now?"
Shen Qingqing also opened her eyes. In her hazy state, she felt that the car had stopped and thought that they had arrived at the station. She stretched.
"Andorra, have we arrived... in beautiful Hawaii, or on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean?"
The silvery-white sand beaches are very similar to those in Hawaii, and there's also the ocean here.
If she remembered correctly, they landed at a port on the coast.
So, after all this time, we've come back again?
Andor sat calmly in the pilot's seat and said, "No, we've just arrived at another port. After traveling for a while, we'll reach the next node, where there might be a spaceship that can take us back."
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Lia was eager to return to Kyoto and enjoy life.
“Uh, but we wouldn’t be…” Shen Qingqing suddenly spoke up.
She always felt that the car suddenly stopping was not a good thing.
Especially on the way.
"Broken down?" The worst-case scenario that Leah could imagine was that Andor and Vivi's driving skills were not very good, causing the car to break down halfway.
"By the way, are you two any good at this?"
“It’s not a breakdown.” Andorra said, gripping the steering wheel.
"What could it be?"
At this point, excluding the possibility of the car breaking down, only one last possibility remains.
Shen Qingqing looked at Andorra, but he remained silent.
An alarm bell rang in my mind.
Could it be that one?
"The car is almost out of gas."
Alright, the end.
Shen Qingqing slumped in her seat.
She knew that would be the reason.
There's nothing else that could stop Andorra except for running out of gas.
"Want some lubricant?" Leah asked tentatively.
"I just grabbed a big bottle from the freebies section at the mall, anyone want it?"
There was no sound from the insects.
"What about nail polish?"
He swallowed hard, and finally made up his mind.
He said with great enthusiasm, "How about this, I'll give you some encouragement, and then the insect power will push the car along, okay?"
This plan was the first to be rejected, and was rejected by all the insects.
The planner, Chong Liya, was dismissed.
“But we still have some fuel left,” Shen Qingqing said, noticing that the “Ultimate” indicator on the watch face hadn’t reached the bottom yet. “If we’re careful, we should still be able to reach our destination.”
"So here's the question: you're not a car, so how do you make it save fuel?"
Chief planner Chong Liya raised another question.
Shen Qingqing could only reply by quoting the words of the ancients.
"You are not a fish, so how can you know the joy of a fish?"
"You are not a cart, how can you know the economy of a cart?"
