Apocalypse: Everyone Levels Up, I Return to the Time Before the Server Opened Chapter 30 - Buy Something More Powerful!

Chapter 30: Buy Sothing More Powerful!

After quickly eating sothing, Ye Qiu hurried out the door.

Since the gas tank had perford so well in battle and the first attempt was a success, he naturally had to keep up the montum.

He needed to prepare more powerful items, but they also had to be easily obtainable.

For example, more gas tanks. And… Molotov cocktails.

The forr could be purchased directly from the gas company.

As for the latter, he could make them himself.

Gasoline as a base, rubber for thickening, sugar for fuel, concentrated sulfuric acid as an ignition source, and finally, an empty glass bottle to hold it all together.

If necessary, he could also use liquid alcohol, sothing that had burned more than a few people to death.

“Uncle Su, do you know where I can buy a large amount of gasoline? Yes, in barrels and bottles, not for refueling a car… Alright… If you can drive over now, I’ll wait for you.”

Ye Qiu rarely called people.

On the other end of the line was one of the few people he knew, though they weren’t exactly close.

Back when his parents had their accident and needed to be rushed to the hospital, no one was willing to take them.

In the end, it was “Uncle Su” who carried Ye Qiu’s unconscious and injured parents into his car and drove at full speed to the hospital.

Uncle Su was a taxi driver.

Even though his parents ultimately didn’t survive their injuries, Ye Qiu had always been deeply grateful to him.

Even after twenty years in his past life, now that he had been reborn, he still rembered.

Within just a few minutes, Uncle Su arrived.

Ye Qiu stepped out, locked the door, and walked over to the taxi.

He opened the front passenger door and got in.

As soon as he sat down, Uncle Su asked curiously, “Xiao Ye, why do you need to buy gasoline? Stocking up before getting a car? If that’s the case, let give you so advice…”

The mont cars were brought up, Uncle Su beca a chatterbox. He could talk endlessly.

Ye Qiu just listened quietly.

The middle-aged man whom he hadn’t seen for twenty years was still in good health and didn’t look too old.

However, the wrinkles on his face were deep, and the gray hairs at his temples were more prominent.

Ye Qiu recalled his past life.

After the countdown in his mind had nearly reached zero, he had stayed at school with his classmates. The last ti he saw Uncle Su was also at school.

That day, when the ga descended into reality, many students lost their lives.

It seed that Uncle Su’s child was among them.

Ye Qiu rembered clearly. That day, Uncle Su had looked lost, wandering around like a soulless husk, almost like a walking corpse.

Ye Qiu had wanted to offer so words of comfort but hesitated, afraid that it would co off as hypocritical or insincere.

The last thing a grieving person needed was empty condolences.

So, in the end, he turned back and returned to his dorm.

Out of sight, out of mind.

After that day, Ye Qiu never saw Uncle Su again.

That was until now.

Once Uncle Su finished talking, Ye Qiu finally said, “I don’t need too much, just a standard barrel, so around 150 to 200 liters.”

Uncle Su nodded. “That’s not much. An old buddy of mine owns a gas station. I’ll take you there and get it sorted.”

Ye Qiu imdiately responded, “Thanks, Uncle Su.”

Uncle Su waved it off. “No need to thank . It’s just a small favor. By the way, if you need a barrel, they’ll charge extra. But I’ll see if I can talk them into giving you one for free.”

Ye Qiu shook his head. “Barrels aren’t cheap, a few hundred bucks each. No need to take advantage. I can afford it.”

He really wasn’t short on money.

He had borrowed from every available loan platform.

Even mortgaged his house to take out high-interest loans.

Though a small house wasn’t worth much, he still had at least a few hundred thousand in cash on hand.

It was enough to buy what he needed.

As for gasoline, he didn’t need too much.

Only low-level monsters were afraid of Molotovs.

By the ti he reached level 20, many monsters would have resistance to specific elents.

For instance, fire-resistant monsters.

If a Molotov’s power was lower than their resistance, not only would it fail to kill them, but it could even heal them!

Gas tanks were slightly better.

But even they would only be useful up to level 25 or 30 monsters. And that wasn’t even counting bosses.

A level 20 regular boss could potentially withstand a gas tank explosion and still survive.

And if the monsters weren’t instantly killed, they would go into a frenzy.

Inside the car, Uncle Su started talking about the ga that had appeared in everyone’s minds.

He said that at his age, if he had to have sothing extra in his brain, he’d prefer it to be sothing useful and not so inexplicable ga.

“This thing is for young people and kids,” he said, shaking his head with a chuckle.

“Uncle Su, did you log into the ga?” Ye Qiu asked.

“I did. It asked to bind my DNA and create an account… but I didn’t bother. I just asked around, found out it was just a ga, and stopped paying attention to it.”

“Uh… actually, you should create an account,” Ye Qiu suggested.

In his past life, many people never created accounts.

This was especially true for children under 3 and elderly people over 70.

It made sense for children since they were too young to understand.

But for older people, most simply weren’t interested in gas.

And those who didn’t create an account ended up remaining as ordinary people.

Because in ten days, when the ga would descend into reality, new accounts could no longer be created.

“I’ll think about it when I have ti,” Uncle Su sighed. “There’s enough real-world trouble already. Where would I find the mood to play a ga?”

Ye Qiu didn’t press further.

Other people’s private matters weren’t his to ddle with.

As for the ga in their minds, everything would happen as fate allowed.

Even high-level players struggled to survive after the ga rged with reality.

As they talked, the car arrived at a gas station.

Uncle Su found the owner, and since the two were acquainted, they only exchanged a few pleasantries before completing the purchase.

The gasoline was divided into several small tal containers to fit into the trunk.

Once it was packed, Ye Qiu paid, and they left.

On the way back, Uncle Su received a phone call.

After hanging up, he looked slightly apologetic and said, “Sothing ca up. I might be delayed for half an hour before I can take you back.”

Ye Qiu replied, “It’s fine, Uncle Su. I’ll just nap in the car.”

Uncle Su nodded. “Alright, take a rest. I’ll wake you up when I’m ready to drive you ho.”

The car then turned a corner and stopped at a nearby auto shop.

anwhile, Ye Qiu had already logged into the ga.

—

Inside the ga world, the sun had fully risen.

Ding!
