Chapter 882 882: Attacked From Both Sides ( 3 )
After Richard and his team left, Xiao Qi turned to Zhang Yuan and asked, "Vice Captain, can they be trusted? Why should we give them the black crystals?"
Zhang Yuan smiled and patted his shoulder. "The leader is the son of the next monarch of the Tsardom Kingdom. He is royalty. For them, their promise is as good as an edict. He can be trusted."
"As for why we gave them the crystals, it's better to have more friends than enemies. Since we have the same goals, keeping them alive is always a good thing for us."
Xiao Qi nodded and replied, "So that's why." After a moment, he asked, "No, Vice Captain, how do you know about his identity?"
"Wen Hanli gave me his profile before we went to help Lunar Base from the zombie cockroaches' attack," Zhang Yuan replied with a matter-of-fact tone.
Before Xiao Qi could ask more questions, he clapped his hands and said, "Alright, with them helping us, we don't have to guard this place all the time or go inside. Everyone rested for two hours, then split up and investigated the area around the base."
"Understood," the members replied in unison.
At the same time, in the northern border area, an armored truck was parked on the roadside near a mini market.
From inside the mini market, the sound of fighting could be heard. The fighting lasted for half an hour before everything returned to tranquility.
With the red moonlight illuminating the messy hall, zombie corpses were scattered on the ground. Some of them had their heads smashed by a blunt weapon, while the rest were scorched.
Looking at the messy hall, Shang Xixi said, "Hanyu, we can't stay on this floor. I will go check the second floor. You collect the supplies first."
Wen Hanyu wiped the sweat off his forehead and nodded. "Be careful," he reminded her.
"Okay."
While his girlfriend went to check the second floor, he quickly collected the supplies. He didn't take the supplies that had been stained with zombies' blood or flesh, and only took away the supplies with intact packaging and seals.
Although they were mutants, they were still able to eat normal food, unlike the mutants living outside the base. Fortunately, they managed to find this mini market and get enough supplies to last them for a while.
After he collected all the uncontaminated supplies, Wen Hanyu went to the room beside the counter. He pressed closer to the door and listened for a while. When he was sure that there were no zombies inside, he finally broke the lock with his steel bat and opened the door.
As he had guessed, this room was a small warehouse. The supplies stored inside were stacked neatly in boxes and sacks.
Since people living in the Thirteen Colonies preferred eating bread or products made of flour, it was hard for him to find rice. So when he saw more than 200 bags of rice in the corner, he was delighted.
The rice was stored in 5-kilogram vacuum bags, totaling 1,000 kilograms of rice. This amount was enough to last him and his girlfriend for 3 to 4 years.
Besides flour and rice, he also found boxes of canned meat and fish, such as tuna, salmon, beef, chicken, and spam. Besides canned meat, there were also canned vegetables, such as green beans, corn, carrots, peas, black beans, lentils, chickpeas, pumpkin, and tomatoes.
He checked the expiration dates and saw that some had 3 to 4 years, while some only had 1 to 2 years. But the shelf life was not a problem for him since everything stored in his space would stay the same as when it was put in.
Besides the meat, fish, and vegetable products, there were also canned fruits, canned butter, and condensed milk.
While the room was only half the size of the hall, it was big enough to store a lot of supplies. When he was done, he heard his girlfriend's voice. "Hanyu, come and look at this."
He quickly climbed the stairs and asked, "What's wrong?"
The moment he reached the second floor, he was stunned to see that one of the rooms was filled with supplies. But unlike the food and water found in the small room and the hall, this room stored daily necessities such as women's products and baby products.
He looked at the boxes and saw two big boxes with a famous birth control brand printed on them. Just looking at the name, he knew what was inside. He glanced at his girlfriend, cleared his throat, and said, "My space still has a lot of space left."
Not noticing his ambiguous gaze, Shang Xixi nodded and said, "Then we should take everything. Most people staying in the city can't eat normal food anymore, but they still need to use these things. We can exchange them for food if we are running out of supplies."
"Okay, I will listen to you."
Besides this supply room, another room was clearly a place where the owner was living. Inside was a set of couches, a double bed, a small bathroom, several cabinets, and a wardrobe.
They checked the cabinets and the wardrobe. Besides clothes and some cash, they also found medicine and two guns. In the Thirteen Colonies, it was legal to own a gun. As long as they had the permit and registered their guns, they could carry them everywhere.
Shang Xixi gave the guns to her boyfriend and said, "These guns have silencers. I'm a lightning-type mutant, I don't need them. So, you keep them."
Wen Hanyu didn't refuse and put the guns into his space. After they were done checking the room, he locked the door and used the wardrobe and couch to block it.
He sat on the wooden chair and asked, "Xixi, do you want to take a bath first?"
Shang Xixi shook her head and said, "We don't have much water, so we should save what we can. What's more, with the zombie's blood on our clothes, it can mask our scent. It will be safer for us to travel."
After she said this, she paused for a moment. Narrowing her eyes, she asked, "Or do you think that I'm smelly and find me disgusting?"
