Chapter 111

Lin Chen and Xia Nuan returned to their rooms and soon fell asleep. After the tossing of the previous night,

both were extra tired, and didn't wake up until ten o'clock the next morning. When walking out of the room,

the survivors on the first floor had already organized the living room, and the older survivor was sitting on the sofa waiting for them,

seeing the two come out, he immediately stood up and said: "We are all ready, we can set off to the warehouse in the north of the city at any time."

Lin Chen nodded and said to Xia Nuan: "You go check the oil level and weapons of the armored vehicle,

I'll confirm the specific location of the warehouse with them." Xia Nuan responded and left, while Lin Chen sat on the sofa,

and asked the older survivor: "Where is the warehouse specifically in the north of the city? Have you encountered any mutated creatures or other people on the way?"

"Right next to the abandoned factory in the north of the city,

it's the grain reserve warehouse from before." The older survivor replied, "We went there once last week,

we only encountered a few ordinary zombies on the way, didn't see anyone else, but the warehouse gate was locked, and we came back without opening it." Lin Chen noted the location,

and exhorted: "Everyone be careful on the way, hide if you encounter danger, don't fight hard."

Ten minutes later,

Xia Nuan returned to report: "The armored vehicle's oil level is sufficient, weapons are all checked,

and spare ammunition and compressed biscuits have been brought." Lin Chen stood up and said to everyone: "Let's go, we'll set off now, try to be back before noon.

" The survivors nodded one after another, followed Lin Chen and Xia Nuan out of the villa, three of the five survivors got into the armored vehicle, and the other two walked with Lin Chen, moving toward the direction of the warehouse in the north of the city.

The road was very quiet, occasionally seeing a few zombies wandering on the street, Lin Chen directly used his Absolute Zero ability to freeze them, not delaying too much time.

After walking for nearly an hour, he finally saw the abandoned factory, and the warehouse next to it also appeared—it was a gray large warehouse, the gate was a thick iron door, with a rusty big lock hanging on it.

"This is it." The older survivor pointed to the warehouse and said. Lin Chen walked up, checked the door lock,

and asked the system: "System, can you open this lock? Or is there any other entrance?" 【Detecting the door lock is an ordinary mechanical lock, can be cracked remotely, has been unlocked for the host】 the system replied, and as soon as the words fell, the lock on the warehouse gate made a "click" sound and opened.

Lin Chen pushed open the gate, it was pitch black inside, and the air was filled with the smell of dust. He turned on his phone's flashlight,

led the way in, Xia Nuan and the survivors followed behind. Many sacks were piled up in the warehouse,

with the words "Grain" printed on them, and there were several shelves next to them, with quite a few canned foods and medical supplies, looking like the supplies were indeed sufficient.

"Everyone divide and organize, move all usable supplies to the car." Lin Chen said to everyone,

while he walked to the shelf, checking the expiration date of the medical supplies. Most of the medicines were still within the validity period, with fever medicine, anti-inflammatory medicine, and bandages,

just right to supplement the inventory in the villa. Xia Nuan and two survivors moved the sacks together, pouring the rice and flour inside into spare bags, making it convenient for transportation.

Just when everyone was busy, a loud "bang" suddenly came from outside the warehouse, as if something had hit the armored vehicle. Lin Chen immediately stopped the work in his hands and said to everyone: "You guys continue organizing, I'll go out and take a look." He picked up the Purple Lightning Purification Gun and walked out of the warehouse quickly.

The scene outside made Lin Chen frown—three mutated bears were standing next to the armored vehicle,

their bodies twice the size of ordinary bears, their fur black, their claws shining with cold light, the loud noise just now was caused by the mutated bears hitting the car. The mutated bears saw Lin Chen and immediately let out low roars, pouncing toward him.

Lin Chen quickly mobilized his Absolute Zero ability, condensing an ice shield to block the mutated bears' attack.

The ice shield was hit and cracked, Lin Chen took the opportunity to swing an ice spike, stabbing at the chest of the mutated bear in the front.

The ice spike instantly pierced the fur, the mutated bear let out a scream, and fell to the ground without moving. The other two mutated bears saw this and pounced over even more crazily, Lin Chen dodged while constantly releasing ice spikes, soon freezing them into ice sculptures as well.

After solving the mutated bears, Lin Chen returned to the warehouse and said to everyone: "Encountered three mutated bears outside,

they have been solved, everyone speed up, move early and return early." The survivors heard there were mutated bears, their movements obviously accelerated, and in less than half an hour, they organized all the needed supplies and moved them to the armored vehicle and spare carts.

Just when everyone was preparing to leave, the older survivor suddenly shouted: "Wait!

I just saw a basement entrance behind the warehouse, should we go take a look? Perhaps there are other supplies inside." Lin Chen hesitated for a moment and asked the system: "System, detect the situation in the warehouse basement, is there any danger?" 【Detecting faint vital signs in the basement, no obvious danger signal, can enter to investigate】 the system replied.

"Let's go take a look." Lin Chen made a decision, followed the older survivor to the back of the warehouse, where there was indeed a hidden basement entrance, covered with a wooden board. Lin Chen lifted the wooden board, and below was a staircase, pitch black and unable to see the bottom. He turned on his flashlight, led the way down, Xia Nuan followed behind him, while the other survivors remained above to guard the supplies.

Several wooden boxes were piled up in the basement, Lin Chen opened one of them, and inside were actually more than a dozen brand-new rifles and a box of bullets. "There's actually weapons!" Xia Nuan said in surprise. Lin Chen continued to open other wooden boxes, discovering that there were also some hand grenades and bulletproof vests inside, all military supplies from before the doomsday. "These things are very useful, move them all up." Lin Chen said to Xia Nuan, and the two moved the wooden boxes up together.

The survivors saw the weapons and were all very excited, the older survivor said: "With these weapons, we won't be afraid even if we encounter mutated creatures in the future." Lin Chen nodded and said to everyone: "Okay, the supplies are all moved, let's go back quickly, don't delay any more time."

Everyone got into the armored vehicle, pushed the small carts, and returned toward the direction of Sky Villa. There was no danger on the way, and they successfully returned to the villa. Just after unloading the supplies, the villa's communicator suddenly rang, Lin Chen pressed the answer button, and a familiar voice came from inside: "Lin Chen, long time no see, do you still remember me? I am Su Qing."

Lin Chen's expression instantly darkened, and he asked the communicator: "What do you want to do? Last time I let you run away, this time you dare to contact me actively?" Su Qing's voice carried a smile: "I'm not here to fight with you, I know 'X''s whereabouts, I want to make a deal with you—I tell you 'X''s location, you spare my life, how about it?"

Lin Chen frowned and asked the system: "System, detect Su Qing's location, is what she said true?" 【Detecting Su Qing is currently located at the abandoned hospital in the east of the city, no lie signal detected, can be initially judged as reliable information】 the system replied. Lin Chen said to the communicator: "Why should I believe you? You tell me where 'X' is first, and after confirmation, I will consider sparing your life."

Su Qing was silent for a few seconds and said: "'X' is in the underground laboratory in the south of the city, he is researching new mutated viruses recently, wanting to control more mutated creatures. I can take you there, but you must guarantee not to hurt me." Lin Chen thought for a while and said: "Okay, you wait at the abandoned hospital, I'll come find you now, don't play any tricks, otherwise you won't have a good end."

Hanging up the communicator, Xia Nuan asked worriedly: "Can Su Qing's words be trusted? What if she set an ambush?" Lin Chen shook his head: "Whether it's an ambush or not, we have to go take a look, 'X''s threat won't be solved, we will never have peace. You stay in the villa and watch the survivors and supplies, I'll go alone."

Xia Nuan still wanted to say something, but Lin Chen had already picked up his weapon and said to her: "Don't worry, I will be careful, I'll be back soon." After speaking, he walked out of the villa quickly, got into the armored vehicle, and drove toward the direction of the abandoned hospital in the east of the city. The sound of the armored vehicle's engine gradually faded away, Xia Nuan stood at the door, her heart full of worry, but could only pray for Lin Chen's safe return.
