Chapter 137
“We should stay here for today.”
Several days after leaving Ballinger...
Upon arriving in a town called Snyder, about 160 kilometers away, Aiden muttered those words.
Snyder was a small town that had barely reached a population of 10,000 even three years ago, located precisely halfway between Ballinger and their next destination, Lubbock.
“Here? What’s here?”
As the vehicle exited the highway encircling the town and headed into the city interior, Arian asked that question.
It was still broad daylight.
Even with their subpar vehicle, if they persisted, there would be enough time to reach the next small town.
However, Aiden’s decision to establish a temporary base earlier than usual stemmed from a simple reason.
“We’re out of gas. We need to refuel in this town.”
Not only incapable of maintaining decent speeds, but also prone to overheating and engine failures, this vehicle’s fuel efficiency was naturally poor as well.
So the gasoline consumption had exceeded Aiden’s expectations, eventually depleting their supply entirely.
