Chapter 16

"Is there enough fuel?" Su Yu also didn't quite understand what the pointer on the fuel tank meant, but she could still understand the meanings of the number.

Chen Lanlan glanced at the pointer and nodded. "It's enough. The fuel is enough to run three to four hundred kilometers, there will be a rest stop about 60 kilometers after we get on the highway, and we can refuel at that time."

Unlike Su Yu, Chen Lanlan has visited quite a lot of scenic spots and was familiar with the road. After getting on the highway, they saw a lot of vehicles. Because the cars have no speed limit, they all want to turn their cars into planes in speed.

Although Chen Lanlan knows how to drive, her driving skills are not that good. Except for her boyfriend's car, she hadn't driven any car yet. Fortunately, there are no traffic rules that restrict her now. The highway is quite easy to drive to, there are no winding roads so their car drove smoothly.

"Meow?"

"Meow!"

After the car stabilized, due to their young age, the playful and naughty kittens propped up their four short legs to explore this small new world. Su Yu has been observing Chen Lanlan's actions, learning through someone was better than learning by herself. Although she can't drive now, she must know how to drive in the future.

Chen Lanlan was busy driving on the road, so Su Yu didn't dare to bother her, when they arrived at the rest stop, she could learn to drive with Chen Lanlan on the way tomorrow.

Little raccoon and little tabby(kittens) played with the long ears of the three soft rabbits for a while and ran around chasing Sanhua's(cat) tail, even the back of San Pao Huo became a place for them to dance. In the rearview mirror, Su Yu watched little raccoon, little tabby, and little bianmu(border collie pup), played together, her mood became more relaxed and happy.

Today, she killed a total of twelve zombies and obtained twelve crystal nuclei. She has already used the first crystal nucleus with spatial attributes. Among the remaining eleven, five are whole attribute crystal nuclei, two wood attribute crystal nuclei, three water attribute crystal nuclei, and a metallic crystal nucleus.

Hey, Chubby, San Pao Huo, Lu, and Alan have nothing to eat!

Su Yu hugged the little tabby that had run to her and took off the safe trip pendant hanging on the rearview mirror and dangled it in front of the kitten.

"This kitten is pretty cute. How old is it?" Chen Lanlan didn't like cats or dogs. She was scared by cats when she was a child and felt that cat meows sounded like a ghost. But this kitten is strangely cute.

"Two months old, it's the peak of their cuteness. When it reaches three months, it will not look so good like before."

Su Yu gently touched the little kitten’s round head. In fact, most of the cats sold in pet shops are two months old, because cats in this period look the best. Three-month-old kittens can basically eat milk cakes independently, their bodies are stronger, and they have learned to go to the cat litter from the mother cat, and then familiarize themselves with getting along with human beings.

Chen Lanlan retracted her gaze and coughed. She was nervous and afraid that she didn't notice it before, but now that her mind calmed down, her head was hurt by the smell of the cheap perfume on Su Yu's body combined with the smell of zombies, so she quickly opened the car window to let the smell out.

The highway is worthy of being a highway. It only took about half an hour to get to the rest stop while the car was driving at high speed. It was almost half-past four in the afternoon. There's no need for the sky to be completely dark, as long as the sun goes down, the zombies will regain their spirits and re-occupy the entire world, searching everywhere for human beings who are still alive as food.

"I don't know how many zombies are in this rest station. I have to find a way to clean up the place where we temporarily rest. Would you like to join us?"

It happened that the pets hadn’t eaten yet. There were no vehicles outside the rest stop. It can be seen that no tourists and pedestrians were resting halfway. The number of zombies here shouldn't be too many.

Chen Lanlan was taken aback by the offer and said nothing. Of course, she didn't want to go. She was afraid of dying, but it didn't seem good to hide like this. Su Yu was taking the risk while she was just hiding.

When Su Yu looked at Chen Lanlan, she knew the other didn't want to go. Su Yu wasn't hesitant while bending over to pick up the sickle that she was already comfortable with, she flicked the cloth piece wrapped around the sickle head: "Then I will go alone. You will drive the car to a safer place, don't open the door unless it's me. I'll talk to you when I come back."

Chen Lanlan was delicate and weak, she was indeed not as rough as her.

Since Su Yu was entering indoors, the two little parrots wouldn't be able to perform properly, so Su Yu did not take them with her, she instead took Ah Jin and Chubby out. She had seen the abilities of several pets but didn't know the whole strength they can release. So she took out a few to judge their strength. 

Knives need to be sharpened or they will grow rust, like her pets abilities. If they aren't used, they might become weaker and weaker.

"You want to take them? What if they are bitten by zombies?" Chen Lanlan saw Su Yu holding a cat and leading a dog out, it looks like they're going for a walk rather than killing zombies. Su Yu waved her hand, "The zombies aren't fast. Let alone zombies, other people also can't catch my pets. To really catch them, It will take them big effort. Also, my pets are all clever, so it's okay!"

Su Yu's not talking any nonsense of course. If her pets weren't bound by the system, she would definitely not take them with her, but since the pets were bound by the system, she felt their increase in intelligence, there's even a talking Amu in her group. There's San Pao Huo too, a husky breed that's included in the top three dumbest dogs category also has a little wisdom in his eyes. 

Since the pets weren't hers, Chen Lanlan remained silent. Su Yu has some experience in killing zombies, so she didn't directly enter the room rashly. Instead, she had done some movement so that the zombies will be aware of her existence and move.

But not all guesses were always correct, there were no zombies in this place because it was already occupied by other people. As for the lack of vehicles... it should be because their car was robbed by someone else.

To deal with zombies, Su Yu can be cruel, but for people, even if she's cruel, she's afraid that she won't be able to beat them up. So Su Yu came up with a trick. As soon as she found that something was wrong, she threw away the dog leash and let Ah Jin run fast. Fortunately, Ah Jin didn't leave her behind because as soon as Su Yu turned around, she found a throwing knife blocked by Ah Jin's golden bell behind her.

What the hell! She was almost killed!

It's only a few days in the Apocalypse, but people became more dangerous threats than the zombies. Su Yu hugged Chubby who was about to begin a fight and led Ah Jin back to the car quickly. Because of their rush, the dog, the cat, and she was all squeezed together, the passenger seat immediately became cramped.

Chen Lanlan was suddenly frightened that when Su Yu got in the car and yelled for her to drive, she didn't react. Fortunately, those people didn't seem to have the intention of catching up with them. Chen Lanlan recovered and hurriedly drove out of the rest station.

"No... it's okay, there will be a service area almost every 60 kilometers, we can... we can find the next one, maybe it's not occupied there." Chen Lanlan stammered as her hands shook as if it was her who was almost killed.

"Yeah, I hope the next rest stop wouldn't be like this." Su Yu was also frightened. After all, she was the one who nearly died just now. She has never encountered such a thing before. Although it's the apocalypse, can people be careful? That was such a ruthless and cruel surprise!

With big efforts to lift Ah Jin under her feet into the rear seat, Su Yu desperately stretch out a hand to the fluffies to heal her shocked heart. 

She pressed her face to Chubby who was lying on her knees, she directly buried her whole face in the cat's soft belly. The cat's belly is very soft, and it also carries a unique smell of cats. It's not smelly, just the smell of sunlight. 

The car drove at high speed again for half an hour. Su Yu continued to carry Chubby in her hand. She was so comfortable that she had forgotten the danger just now. She opened her eyes leisurely and occasionally looked at the changes in the environment outside the window. She also observes Chen Lanlan's driving posture and asks about what she doesn't understand about driving from time to time.

For example, (SY) What is this? (CL) It is a fuel gauge.

(SY) What is that? (CL) It's a water temperature gauge.

From the basics, Su Yu spent a short half an hour understanding the use of the steering wheel and the instruments under the steering wheel, what is the use of them, and what those color lights mean.

When they came to a rest stop again, it looked much smaller than the previous one, and the two knew it didn't provide accommodation. The small "rest stop" is divided into two parts, one is the supermarket and the other is the toilet. It was very eye-catching.

Although simple, there's a gas station in this rest stop. Although generally speaking, there are always gas stations in the rest stops, but this one is obviously still rich in fuel storage, there are also a lot of abandoned vehicles around.

The number of abandoned vehicles represents the number of zombies in this service area.
