Chapter 200 Death Was Her Only Relief

When Courtney woke up the next morning, the sky was already bright. A ray of sunlight poured in from the window and shone on her face. She instinctively raised her hands to cover herself for a while before sitting up.

There was a slight scraping sound coming from outside the car.

“What are you doing?” Courtney got down from the car and was astonished to see Alexander standing in front of the car’s fuel tank, fiddling with a plastic tube.

Alexander spared her a glance. “Refueling.”

A white tube connected his fuel tank to that of the car behind them, and it gurgled as the fuel was transferred.

Courtney’s car couldn’t start, and Alexander’s was out of gas, so they could only use whatever resources they had.

“Huh? I guess that works.” After understanding the mechanics of the situation, her eyes darted back and forth. “That’s not right. Last night, these two cars were far apart. Why are they so close now?”

Alexander looked at her once more. “A shepherd passed by this morning and helped me push it over.”

“Really? The locals here are so nice.”

 

“He charged me a thousand.”

Hearing this shut Courtney up, but she couldn’t help but frown.
