Chapter 31: Going out to collect supplies

After the three of them were ready, they said goodbye to Li Mo and set off.Dragging the assault boat down, Wen Qian frowned slightly when she met the neighbors living in the corridor.What floor is this?"Neighbors were shocked when they saw her, as her notorious reputation had spread far and wide.Everyone says she's crazy, the kind of crazy that kills without breaking the law.Why are you coming down here?"A dozen people huddled together, watching as Wen's voice trembled with her question.They are all residents downstairs who were flooded. Because the escape route of this building is relatively spacious, they gathered together after discussing with each other, thinking that it would be better to have a group of people for mutual support.At this moment, several tents have been set up in the hallway, with candles burning on the ground.In the dim candlelight, they looked at the warm yet cold eyes of Wen, feeling as if the knife in her hand was about to strike at any moment."What floor is this?""Wen Qian didn't pay attention when she went downstairs just now, she looked around but didn't see the building number, but she felt something was not right.The sudden increase in her volume startled everyone, and they quickly responded.Fifth floor!This is the fifth floor!""Everything below is flooded!"We came here because we had no other choice!"Wen Qian got the answer, and her face became even more unpleasant.Has the flood reached the fourth floor already?In the previous life, after the torrential rain of that month ended, only five floors of their building were submerged.But now, it's only been half a month, and it's already like this...…Realizing that the situation this time was much more serious than last time, Wen Qian no longer hesitated and immediately flipped over and jumped out of the window to gather supplies.Three people drove a speedboat towards the outskirts, encountering some zombies along the way, but Wen Qian managed to avoid all of them, which puzzled Gu Ran.Aren't we here to gain experience? Why hesitate to kill zombies when we see them?"Wen Qian raised her eyes and glanced at him.Don't rush, there are a few factories in the suburbs. I want to try my luck and see if there are any supplies left."Gu Ran suddenly realized that hoarding supplies was indeed much more important than killing zombies.They need to seize every minute and strive to get ahead of others.Fortunately, the supplies were just delivered today, and the rain is getting heavier, so apart from them, there are basically no other people on the streets.Wen Rang sat on the speedboat and suddenly felt a little bored.He glanced at Gu Ran, kicked his shoe with his foot, and started chatting with him.By the way, didn't you say you had a crush before?How did you guys meet?"Wen Rang suddenly brought up this topic, making Gu Ran feel a little embarrassed.He touched his neck and replied in a low voice, "I met him when I was in the army.""Are you also a special forces soldier?""Hmm."Wen Rang continued to ask, "So where is she now?"Still alive...Are you still there?"We were in touch a couple of days ago, but haven't heard from them recently. They are probably on a mission."Wen Qian sat aside, exchanged a glance with Wen Rang, and did not discourage Gu Ran.Losing contact at a time like this is not a good thing.Wen Qian thought for a moment and said, "If you can get in touch with her again, you can ask her if she would like to come to our place, and we can accompany you to pick her up.""Gu Ran was stunned for a moment, then nodded."Okay, I'll ask her.""Because adding more prepared personnel can enhance the prosperity of the space, the system will also provide additional rewards, so Wen Qian is not opposed to recruiting capable individuals as teammates.Smoothly arrived at the suburbs, Wen Qian checked the map and several people arrived at the first food processing plant.On the way here, Wen Qian was worried that with such heavy rain, everything in the factory would be soaked and ruined.But to her surprise, she found that the factory was actually built on the mountain, which was truly visionary!Hey bro!You two stay outside and keep watch in case someone else attacks. I'll go in and take a look first!"Wen Qian rushed into the factory first, indicating to Wen Rang to understand her intention, and pulling Gu Ran outside to kill the zombies, giving her enough time to collect supplies inside.Wen Qian first dealt with the zombies inside, then carried the night lamp to observe the equipment inside the factory. She found that everything was in good condition, and the amount of food in the warehouse was so abundant that it made her eyes light up!Warm Qian received a system prompt to collect everything into the space.The collection of materials for the food processing plant is complete, with a total of 500 tons of grain in stock, 200 tons of finished rice in stock, and a set of production management machinery!]Wen took a deep breath and ran outside.Wen Rang and Gu Ran both breathed a sigh of relief when they saw her coming out unharmed.Gu Ran saw that she was empty-handed and thought that the place had already been looted, so she comforted her, "It's okay, let's go to another place and we will definitely find supplies there!""Wen Rang smiled without saying a word. Looking at his sister's expression, he knew that this trip must have yielded a lot!Several people worked together to clean up all the zombies in the factory, and then headed to the next destination, the canned food processing plant.After arriving, Wen Rang and Gu Ran continued to wait outside, while Wen Qian went in to collect things.Just like the food processing plant, this place has not been discovered by anyone yet.Wen Qian cleared out all the equipment and inventory in the factory, then packed dozens of cans into his backpack, planning to show them to Gu Ran later, so as not to dampen his enthusiasm.The supplies for the canned food processing plant have been collected, including 10,000 boxes of fruit canned food, 10,000 boxes of fish canned food, 10,000 boxes of meat and poultry canned food, and a set of assembly line production equipment!]The sound of the system calmed Wen Qian's heart, and she ran out to share the good news with Gu Ran and Wen Rang.Gu Ran looked at her backpack full of canned goods, including canned peaches, strawberries, hawthorn, luncheon meat, beef, and tuna, and a satisfied smile appeared on her serious face.There are two clothing processing factories on the map provided by the system, which are relatively far from here and require passing through a residential area.So Wen Qian chose to go to the nearby building materials market and cement factory first.Gu Ran was a bit stunned when she heard her decision.Especially cement plants, what supplies do they need there?Wen Qian couldn't tell him about the task of releasing the system, so she had to grit her teeth and speak up.The rain is too heavy, I want to go to the cement factory to see if there are any trucks and sand, and bring some back for flood prevention and disaster relief!"Gu Ran was shocked and turned to look at Wen Rang, with an incredulous expression on his face.Is she so enlightened in her thinking?!"Wen Rang: "...""After being fooled by Gu Ran, every move of Wen Qian seemed to be shining.Wen Qian coughed awkwardly, feeling that her face was still not thick enough and she needed to practice more.The number of zombies in the building materials factory is significantly higher than the previous two places, and the distribution of supplies is more scattered, so it takes more time to clear the area.Wen Qian ran up and down the stairs, killing zombies and throwing things into space at the same time.The light was too dim at night, and Gu Ran could barely see the surroundings with the light of the night lamp.And he focused all his attention on the zombies, afraid of being scratched if he was not careful, so he did not notice Wen Qian's strange behavior, and did not even notice the disappearance of those supplies.
