76: So, what can Zhuo Guangshun do?
Si Nan asked him unexpectedly, "What about the fuel? You didn't bring any?"
The rear compartment was completely empty.
Deng Jiude was stunned by the question. "What fuel?"
Si Nan gave him a look as if he were an idiot. "How am I supposed to drive without Diesel?"
The fat on Deng Jiude's face twitched. "There's a barrel, in... in my own modified car."
Si Nan: "---"
She smiled sinisterly. "Then there's nothing I can do. No fuel. And I specifically used a red line to highlight the bottom of the blueprints I gave you—bring fuel, bring fuel. Now that you're missing something so vital, it's not worth as much anymore."
Hearing this, it was clear she was going to slash the price and play dirty. He had fought this 'battle of wits' for so long just for these final supplies; he had traded his life for this.
He had already driven the vehicle to her doorstep, and she was actually still haggling?
Instantly, Deng Jiude became unhappy. "I say, little girl, you can't be so unscrupulous. I risked my life to bring this treasure to you; we can't just burn bridges once we've crossed them, can we?"
"What? You mean you're missing a vital component but still want to take three times the supplies from me?" Si Nan suddenly leaned in, her tone as cold as her person.
As long as this dead fatty dared to say 'no,' she would kill him instantly and seize this Armored Vehicle directly.
Just asking, what could Zhuo Guangshun even do about it?
From a foot away, it was clearly a refined and soul-stirring face, but in Si Nan's eyes, Deng Jiude saw only two words: killing intent!
This little girl was too terrifying.
He let out a quiet breath and asked Si Nan, "How much can you give?"
"At most double. If you don't agree, I'll get out, and you can drive away. Don't interrupt my sleep." Si Nan held up two fingers.
Deng Jiude turned to look at her courtyard wall made of special materials. It was many times stronger than the steel in his shop. An expression of disbelief appeared in his eyes. Too terrifying—who on earth was this little girl?
This kind of steel was a rare material used in aviation! General stores didn't sell it at all, and even large steel mills might not have it. The key was that she could get so much of it.
What was even more infuriating was that she actually used such precious material to build a courtyard wall? This, this, this... it was simply too extravagant, too wasteful!
"Sigh, fine. It's a deal." Deng Jiude surrendered.
Si Nan's lips curled into a mirthless smile. "I thought you were going to say that even without my supplies, you could still drive this Armored Vehicle out to get supplies yourself."
Deng Jiude rolled his eyes and said, "I'd like to, but I don't have your skills, and I'm covered in fat—I can't even run. When will you give me the items?"
"Have Zhuo Guangshun wait at his own courtyard gate in ten minutes. I'll give them to you immediately."
Deng Jiude's small eyes lit up, and he immediately picked up his phone to call Zhuo Guangshun.
"What are you still standing there for? Swap seats with me," Si Nan said, glancing at Deng Jiude indifferently.
Deng Jiude patted the steering wheel and laughed with a disdainful tone, "Do you know how to drive? It took me a whole day to learn, and I only barely managed to drive it to your door stumbling along."
"Stop rambling." Si Nan was too lazy to deal with him and had already stood up.
"Fine." Deng Jiude said nothing more and moved to Si Nan's seat. He wanted to see just how capable this little girl was. An Armored Vehicle wasn't like a regular car; did she really know how to drive it?
However, as soon as Si Nan sat down, she turned the steering wheel once to get a feel for it and suddenly started the engine. Before Deng Jiude could react, his fat body suddenly tilted, and he spun in place along with the vehicle.
"Roar, roar, roar~"
"Thud, thud, thud~"
He couldn't see the surroundings clearly at all; he could only hear the sound of the surrounding Zombies being violently thrown aside, crashing into the courtyard gate and walls. This lasted for thirty seconds.
Suddenly, with a "screech," the Armored Vehicle came to a halt.
"Urgh, you, you, you... this technique... urgh, I can't help but vomit." Deng Jiude was spun so much he saw stars, his stomach was churning, and he couldn't even stammer out a complete sentence.
Si Nan shoved a trash can at him. "Don't you dare vomit in the vehicle."
"You? Me?" Deng Jiude hugged the trash can, too uncomfortable to speak.
Looking out, the Zombies had already been cleared away, revealing a large open space. Just when he thought Si Nan was going to get out and enter the courtyard to prepare the supplies, the stationary Armored Vehicle suddenly started up again.
"Here we go again." Deng Jiude quickly hugged the trash can tightly and shrank his fat body down toward the bottom of the seat to reduce the force of the swaying.
But this time, Si Nan didn't spin in place. Instead, she drove in a circle, expanding the area and knocking all the nearby Zombies away with a series of crashes. Then, with a beautiful tail-flick, she parked the rear of the vehicle facing her courtyard gate.
She quickly got out, closed the car door, opened the courtyard gate, and closed it again—all in one fluid motion. Any man would have been impressed.
"Beautiful!" Deng Jiude leaned against the car window and gave a thumbs-up to Si Nan's back. The next second, "Urgh—" he threw up everything he had eaten over the past few days.
Two minutes, just two minutes later, the courtyard gate behind them suddenly opened. Then, a series of "pop-pop-pop" firecracker sounds erupted around the Armored Vehicle, scaring the Zombies away.
After a violent shaking of the vehicle's rear, and before the Zombies could swarm back in, Si Nan threw out several more strings of Firecrackers and dashed to the driver's side door.
Deng Jiude quickly opened the door. "Quick, quick, the Zombies are coming back."
Si Nan climbed up quickly and closed the car window. Her movements were truly impressive. "Ask Zhuo Guangshun if he's ready?"
"He's been waiting for a long time. Are all the items loaded?" Deng Jiude twisted his fat body to look at the rear compartment. So many supplies!
Si Nan looked at him. "Want to go down and count them?"
Deng Jiude choked. "Uh, I'm kidding, hehehe~"
Si Nan ignored him and started the engine. The Armored Vehicle "whooshed" out, knocking away countless Zombies.
In the blink of an eye, they reached the gate of Zhuo Guangshun's courtyard. Just like before, Si Nan first did a 360-degree spin, then drove in a circle to clear the Zombies further away.
Zhuo Guangshun happened to open the gate, and Si Nan backed the vehicle in. "Hurry up and unload."
"Watch the surrounding Zombies for me, I... I'm going down." Deng Jiude was terrified of death; even though there were no Zombies around at the moment, he didn't dare get out.
"If you don't leave now, you really won't be able to." Si Nan didn't care about him. She opened the passenger door, kicked Deng Jiude out, and immediately closed the door.
"Ah, you brat!" Deng Jiude was scared to death. His fat body scrambled up from the ground and ran toward Zhuo Guangshun's gate.
Zhuo Guangshun was unloading. "What are you running for? Hurry up and unload!"
"But, but, but the Zombies are swarming back! Stop unloading, close the gate quickly!" Deng Jiude ran inside and turned to close the gate. Unloading wasn't as important as his life.
"Roar—" Seeing the Zombies about to surround them again, Si Nan frowned and shook her head. The unloading speed was too slow.
