Chapter 885: Gasoline Trade
The base station mentioned by Luo Yuan’s group was indeed standing in the middle of a desert.
From a distance, a row of neatly arranged drilling platforms came into view for the group of people.
"There are a lot of people inside."
Mao Qiqi counted and found that there were actually over two hundred people inside, but most of them were without special abilities.
"There’s not much of a zombie presence here."
Lin Cheng also commented, noting that unlike the zombie-infested H Province, zombies couldn’t be seen anywhere within a few miles of here.
After everyone got out of the car and they learned more about the situation, they realized that the survivors here were actually local drill workers, who were operating on the oil wells during the early post-apocalyptic period, thereby avoiding disaster, while Luo Yuan and Zhao Nian arrived here later.
"We are responsible for protecting them, using the oil here to trade for resources outside and bring them back. Although there are occasional minor frictions, things are generally manageable."
Zhao Nian explained as he walked beside several rows of drilling platforms with the group.
"Even if you can extract oil now, wouldn’t it need further refining to become gasoline? Do you still have the needed conditions for that?"
Lu Guanhai asked curiously.
"The catalytic factory over there can complete the process. This place is remote, and wind and solar power generation are quite sufficient."
