The Fuel Tank Assembly, Awakening the Priest Sequence

After telling Wang Qian about his plans to modify the fuel tank assembly, Jiang He did not stay to supervise. Instead, he went straight back to the RV to catch up on sleep.

As time passed, the survivors on the bus noticed Wang Qian hard at work. They filed out and gathered around to watch curiously.

"That's a gas station's gasoline storage tank. The captain is amazing-he even managed to get his hands on one of those!"

A member who knew his stuff recognized where the tank came from and exclaimed excitedly.

"It'd be great if we could take it with us! Too bad it's so huge. There's no way it'll fit on the bus..."

The survivors did not know Jiang He had a system space, so they were still wondering how to take the tank with them.

"You're underestimating the captain! I saw him make a whole lot of food and supplies appear out of thin air with my own eyes! Taking this thing away is no problem for him!"

Having witnessed Jiang He's many miraculous abilities, Er Biao already regarded him as an omnipotent savior. He explained to everyone around him, his face full of admiration.

"That's right! The captain can shoot flames from his hands, and he has a bus that can eat monsters. Taking this thing away shouldn't be hard either!"

After hearing Er Biao, the survivors, who had only just encountered the Superpower Sequence, all cheered with delight.

Fuel was an extremely important resource in the apocalypse!

With that much gasoline in reserve, the convoy would not run short of fuel for a long time to come.

They were all glad they had joined such a powerful convoy.

Wang Qian, who was busy nearby, naturally heard them, but she had no intention of contradicting them.

Because she alone knew that their guesses were all correct!

That guy really could take the enormous thing in front of her away!

"In terms of how mysterious his various abilities are, he's even more outrageous than those people..."

Wang Qian seemed to recall something. Her hands paused briefly in their work, and she seemed to be struggling with something.

Time ticked by, until a system notification woke Jiang He from his deep sleep.

[Devil Arum Heart fusion complete. The host may use its abilities at will]

He opened his eyes and shook his somewhat numb arm.

Jiang He glanced at the Shy Watch.

It was already five o'clock the next day!

He had slept for nineteen hours straight!

"We probably didn't run into any Eldritch Horrors. Otherwise, the Shy Watch would have reacted long ago!"

Jiang He got dressed, got up, and went to the window.

As he looked around, he spotted someone who surprised him!

"This woman really takes her work seriously!"

A fine drizzle was falling outside. Even though someone was holding an umbrella over Wang Qian, more than half her clothes were soaked.

Yet she seemed oblivious to it, her hands still busy at work.

Jiang He opened the door and stepped outside.

"Brother Jiang, you finally came out! Please go talk Sister Qian into resting. She hasn't slept a wink for a day and a night! Even someone with a Superpower Sequence can't keep going like this!"

The moment Er Biao saw Jiang He appear in the doorway, he rushed over.

As a veteran member of the Rampage Group, he naturally shared a deep friendship with Wang Qian!

Jiang He nodded after hearing him out.

She probably hadn't listened to their advice, so they had come to him...

He walked up behind Wang Qian and took the umbrella from the Rampage Group member holding it.

Jiang He said calmly, "The design is perfect!"

He was not offering empty praise; he genuinely meant it!

As soon as he came over, Jiang He had noticed that the fuel tank had undergone a tremendous transformation!

Wang Qian had found a generator somewhere and welded it beside the motor.

That way, the generator could power the fuel pump's motor, while the generator itself ran on gasoline from the tank.

The whole assembly could be said to form a closed loop!

Of course, those were not the only changes. After learning what Jiang He intended to do, she had also incorporated some designs of her own.

Not only had she added a nitrogen pressurization device inside the tank, but she had also upgraded the fuel nozzle into a high-pressure spray gun like the ones used at car washes!

That way, the shape of the gasoline spray could be freely adjusted to suit the situation!

It could be a fan or a jet...

In just one day and one night, she had completed such a precise modification without any tools.

That naturally deserved Jiang He's praise!

The sudden sound of Jiang He's voice beside her ear made Wang Qian stiffen. A blush spread across her cheeks, threatening to reach her ears...

Seeing her reaction, Jiang He naturally knew why and could not resist teasing her:

"You dared to do something like that back then, so why are you embarrassed now?"

At those words, Wang Qian spun around like a cat whose tail had been stepped on and covered Jiang He's big mouth.

Her beautiful eyes trembled slightly as she glanced around. Only after finding no one else in sight did she let out a long sigh of relief.

"Bastard! If you dare bring that up again, I'll blow up your fuel tank!"

After warning Jiang He with an angry look on her pretty face, she slowly lowered her slender hand, turned around, and resumed her work.

Wang Qian was deeply conflicted.

A large part of the reason she refused to rest was that she did not know how to face Jiang He.

She could not return to the RV, and she was in no mood to compete with the other members for a seat.

So she had simply kept working here to distract herself!

"There's no need to weld that one spot over and over a dozen times. If you really have nothing to do, you might as well go back to the RV and get some rest!"

Jiang He reached out and put away the modified fuel tank assembly, smiling as he spoke.

Her little scheme exposed, Wang Qian blushed again and could not resist retorting:

"Hmph! I haven't finished modifying it yet! Watch out, or it'll blow you to bits!"

"Blow me to bits? Then I suppose Liu Lu really will die..."

Jiang He shook his head, looking regretful.

"What did you say?"

Hearing him, Wang Qian seemed afraid she had imagined it and immediately asked Jiang He to confirm.

"Liu Lu has been rescued. He's recovering from his injuries in that cave. By my reckoning, he should be coming out soon!"

Jiang He had only told her this to get out of his earlier promise, so there was no need to tell her the truth.

"Liu Lu's alive? How did you rescue him?"

After receiving his confirmation, Wang Qian was instantly overjoyed. She rushed forward and shook Jiang He's arms as she asked.

"That's none of your concern. I kept my promise and brought him out, so about that crystal I promised you before..."

He coaxed her along, looking just like a villain trying to trick a little girl!

"I only wanted to strengthen the Rampage Group in the first place. Now that Liu Lu has been rescued and the Rampage Group is doing well, I can do without that Sequence Crystal!"

Wang Qian naturally meant every word. The fact that this man had risked his life to rescue Liu Lu was enough to make up for the crystal!

Not to mention that he had entrusted Er Biao with an important position, one that put him in charge of the entire team's supplies!

Besides, Jiang He was the one who had been running back and forth the whole time.

All she had done was haul fuel a few times. That did not even count as assisting him, so how could she have the nerve to claim a share of his crystal?

Having accomplished his goal, Jiang He had no intention of lingering.

"I still have something to take care of. You should go back and rest soon too. Those good friends of yours are worried sick about you!"

He turned and waved, then headed back into the cave.
