Chapter 22
The battle with the variable wild boar had seriously damaged the MCV, which was what worried Jiang Lius.h.i.+t, it had to be repaired as soon as possible. It needed 1200L gasoline, 200 kilograms of steel, 100 kilograms of copper, 30 kilograms of polymer organic plastic and electricity of 200 kWH. All these things had to be collected. As for the upgrade materials, it was simply 100 kg of steel.
"Really, terrible! It is really expensive repairing a car no matter when." Jiang Lius.h.i.+ drove the MCV, dragging the small van, on the rural road. Trailer car was the technical work. Under normal circ.u.ms
tances, the towed vehicle was controlled by a driver because it needed to maintain the distance. Downhill, the car behind was faster than the front, as a result the driver needed to timely brake avoiding an accident!
And the brake could not be stepped too hard. If the distance was too big beyond the length of the trailer rope, then it would be a tragedy. The trailer rope had the maximum bearing weight, which simply could not stand further pulling! It was obviously that Jiang Lius.h.i.+ did not have time, and Wen Xiaotian could not do it either. The job needed a professional driver. As a result, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ simply decided not to take care. It could not be helped.
So, on that very poor rural road, at every turn...
"Bang!"
A loud noise came from the rear of the minibus and it suddenly shook! The wild pork’s bones weighed at least five or six tons, plus the van, which made driving terrible.
But… Nothing! They continued driving...
Jiang Lius.h.i.+ ignored the b.u.mping because he believed that although the MCV was damaged by the wild boar, it could afford the b.u.mping by the broken van. The MCV’s damage had reached 3.5, without any change. But the van was a bit miserable, its front was completely curved inwards, and probably the engine had a problem. However, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ was too lazy to check, as long as its six wheels could move everything would be okay. But the consumption of gasoline was increased because of the extra weight. The gasoline had reached 200 liters, so Jiang Lius.h.i.+ had been collecting gasoline all the way. This poor country was not controlled by the army and those abandoned cars had gasoline.
Those cars parked before the restaurant, including the small van, had provided 200 liters gasoline for him. On the way, once met a car, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ would get off. He almost became an oil mouse hated by everyone. Jiang Lius.h.i.+ had gotten the crowbar from the car repair shop, opening the cover of fuel tank cover, putting a rubber tube into the tank with a suction, and then putting the other end of the tube into larger gasoline barrels, using the Siphon Principle. That was a technical work. Sucking a mouthful of gasoline was possible. But Jiang Lius.h.i.+ was only looking forward to quickly finis.h.i.+ng the upgradation of the fuel tank. He was searching for an abandoned gas station, in order to take eight or nine tons of gasoline.
Again and again, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ felt his mouth pumping cramps. It was lucky to meet a truck with 70 or 80 liters gasoline. But cars were more pitiful as they had smaller fuel tanks, that is, the gap was small, which meant it was hard to collect gasoline. He needed to try very hard only for 20 or 30 liters. In the end, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ had collected many fuel tanks, enough to fill six barrels with gasoline, and it was estimated that was enough.
[What the f*ck! It was not necessarily easier than cutting the wild boar!]
