The Apocalyptic System
Tank Truck
Kai Axe and Jessica were unsuccessful
Find a snowmobile anywhere, so they decide to buy it online. Although snowmobiles take time to send, they can still afford to wait about two months.
It was midday, and both of them were feeling rather hungry, so they decided to have lunch first.
The Rolls-Royce up front attracted a lot of attention. Many women stand next to cars as they take selfies.
Kai Axe went up and said to one of the girls, “Excuse me, please move aside”.
The girl did not even bother to turn around. “Hold for a moment. I'm almost done here. This is not your car” anyway.
“Except it is so”. Kai Axe smiled and pulled out the key, pressed the button on the fob, unlocked the door. The headlights also blinked.
The girl turned to look at Kai Axe with a stunned expression on her face. He then looked at the car again before leaving with his head bowed.
Kai Axe and Jessica got into the car and left the expo.
“Where did you tell them to send that enormous RV, Kai ? ”Suddenly Jessica asked".
Kai Axe knows what he's worried about. “Somewhere near the countryside. The ark is our headquarters, and it is best that no one knows about it”.
“Smart boy!” Jessica kissed Kai Axe as a gift.
Kai Axe drives the car to the highway. While there are plenty of cars around them, none are actually anywhere near a Rolls-Royce, and the car right behind distances more than 20 meters.
He finally felt how
it feels like driving one of the most luxurious cars on the planet, feeling a bit lonely on the road.
Then again, the feeling of driving such a car is very different to that of a cheap SUV.
The driving experience is very smooth. More importantly, soundproofing is great, and the interior space is huge, which he thinks might be good for “exercise”.
Kai Axe went to a fancy restaurant nearby, and during the day they sat down. The system then calculates the points immediately.
“Ding! Start counting survival points! “
“You have gained 10 survival points for eating breakfast”.
“You have gained 15 survival points for driving”.
“You have obtained 15 survival points for lunch”.
“You have obtained 10 survival points to buy item”.
“You have gained 120 survival points for engaging in three sets of ”“” special training
...
The total number of points earned is 310 points.
The total number of points collected so far is 1,214 points.
He eventually obtained the points needed to upgrade the ship's body.
Kai Axe noted how the System issued 120 points for engaging in the special “” exercise three times.
He wondered if System was assessing his points from the time he was involved in “activity”, not how long he was doing it.
“Sial, should have done it a few more times last night then...
“I should note that.
“So, the more” “ workouts I do, the more survival points I get turns out.
“However, there is still the question of whether my body can withstand such exercise.
“Better not to waste all” load my “ when I was young.
“Cautiousness. Practice caution, Kai ! “
“Hmm? Kai ? Huh hello? Are we gonna order or what? “ Suddenly Jessica asked.
Kai Axe looked up at Jessica, watching her chiseled face, her supple skin, and her voluptuous figure.
The sight was enough to make him shudder.
“It is very difficult to practice prudence when having such a girlfriend, I guess...!
“Umm, yes, command”. Kai Axe gave an awkward grin and ordered food.
Despite being extremely wealthy, he was opposed to food wastage.
His experience of having to constantly starve as the lack of food in his past life drove him to appreciate food.
The lunch took about half an hour, and they made sure to spend it all on their plates and bowls.
Kai Axe goes to the oil terminal in the city, where wholesale diesel and gasoline are found.
The first-rate ark only uses solar for its current power. Be it generators and engines on board or RVs, they all use diesel. Thus, his demand would be huge.
Kai Axe comes in front of the oil terminal, where tanker trucks are found in abundance. The smell of gasoline was everywhere.
One can buy all kinds of oil products in the terminal, provided they have their own storage facilities.
Kai Axe took out his phone and checked the fuel tank design of the ark. The ship will have a larger tank to carry solar once upgraded.
The pipe connects the tank to the diesel engine. The engine will be taken out of the tank supply when there is insufficient fuel in the tank belonging to the engine.
The largest tanker truck on the market can transport about 43 cubic meters, which is equivalent to 36 fuel tanks. He wasn't fussy enough to have to fill the tank of the ship completely.
Since he has also purchased wind turbines and solar panels, he will prioritize the use of sustainable energy sources for power. As long as the ship was not constantly sailing, that much solar would probably last up to three years.
Kai Axe looked at the counter window, showed his SIM and said, “Good day, I want to buy 36 tons of solar”.
A girl on the cashier table.
“Sure, umm, Mr. Axe. The amount you want to buy will be huge. Do you have your own tanker truck?” the girl asked.
“No, but I can buy one if I have to”, replied Kai Axe seriously.
The girl didn't know what to do.
He had never heard of someone buying a tanker truck because they needed to buy fuel.
“Umm, Sir, stated in the regulations that you will need a tanker truck to carry all that fuel, whether you rent or buy Truk”, the girl stressed while feeling somewhat dumbfounded.
“Alright then, I will go and take the truck first”, Kai Axe said and left.
The main reason why he wanted to buy a tanker truck instead of renting a tank truck was to maintain confidentiality. Renting a truck means the driver has to drive the truck to the ship, thus unmasking it.
If he buys a truck instead, he can have the driver park it somewhere in the countryside and have the super robot Al drive the truck back to the ship.
The entire street outside the oil terminal was filled with businesses selling tank trucks, both new and used.
Kai Axe will of course get a new truck for reliability reasons. Besides, he needs to get his money out.
Not being able to spend even 100 million dollars throughout the morning meant that he still had more or less than five billion dollars in his account.
He wondered if he could really spend it all.
It would be a waste not to spend it all, because all that money would be useless after the doomsday.
He came to a roadside dealership and chose the most expensive tanker truck they could offer. The tank is made of aluminum alloy, and the truck has a 450 horsepower engine under the hood. Despite the fact that the truck might never be used again, he still had to get the best of it.
He had to spend all his money.
It only took him about half an hour to complete all the procedures. Then he came to the counter again, showed the girl his new keys and said, “Truk is ready. I can get my solar now, can't I?”
“Umm..certain “.
The girl stupefied.
“You're really out to buy a tanker truck just like that? I really don't know what rich people are thinking lately “.
“Good Sir. One ton of solar sold at wholesale price is 1,093 dollars per ton, and 36 tons will amount to 39,348 dollars “, explained the girl.
“Alright, here's the card”.
Kai Axe completed his solar purchase and spent 1,000 dollars to have a driver fill a tanker truck for him and deliver diesel.
He handed over the address to the driver when the truck was loaded and told him to park the truck in the designated spot. The truck will reach the place that night.
Kai Axe returned to the city and bought two large refrigerators after he finished with solar, then bought an assortment of large quantities of fruit and vegetable seeds.
It was just before sunset when he finished. The HSLA steel will arrive the next day, so she will have to return to the ship immediately.
He thought that he could finally upgrade his ship tomorrow made him excited, and he was looking forward to it very excitedly.
