Chapter 116
Lin Chen followed Xia Nuan into the temporary kitchen of the command building, where two boxes of heated canned food and two bottles of water were placed on the table.
Xia Nuan handed him the chopsticks: "The beef canned food found last night is still edible, eat it while it's hot.
" Lin Chen took the chopsticks and opened the can, but had no appetite—the warm scenes in his dream were still swirling in his mind, forming a sharp contrast with the apocalyptic scene before him.
"Why aren't you eating?
Are you not feeling well?
" Xia Nuan saw his strangeness and asked with concern. Lin Chen shook his head,
picked up a piece of beef and put it in his mouth: "It's nothing, just a bit distracted.
By the way,
the system said He Shao and the others have retreated, should we go back to the villa to check today?" Xia Nuan put down her chopsticks: "Better confirm safety first, what if they set an ambush?"
Lin Chen nodded and asked the system: "System, detect the situation around Sky Villa,
are there any of He Shao's men ambushing? Has the inside of the villa been damaged?" 【Detected no ambush around Sky Villa, the villa gate has slight damage, internal supplies are intact, no traces of personnel entry.】 The system replied. "Then we'll go back after eating, fix the villa gate,
and pick up some needed things by the way." Lin Chen said, speeding up his eating.
Half an hour later,
the two got into the armored vehicle and drove toward Sky Villa. The road was still quiet,
occasionally a few zombies could be seen wandering on the street. Lin Chen directly used his Absolute Zero ability to freeze them, not delaying time. In less than forty minutes, they saw Sky Villa. The gate indeed had a crack, left by the rocket launcher bombardment earlier.
Lin Chen got out of the car to check the gate and asked the system: "System,
can you repair the crack in the gate?
Or are there any materials to reinforce it?" 【Can call upon the steel plates and welding tools in the villa's storage room, the system can assist in repairs, expected to be completed in 30 minutes.】 The system replied. Lin Chen immediately took out the tools and steel plates from the storage room,
and according to the system's prompts, began to repair the gate. Xia Nuan helped hand over tools on the side. The two cooperated tacitly and soon patched up the crack, and added a layer of steel plate to the outside of the gate to reinforce the defense.
"This should be able to withstand two rocket launcher hits." Lin Chen clapped his hands,
and asked the system: "System, detect the attack resistance of the repaired gate,
does it meet the standard?" 【The repaired gate can withstand 3 rocket launcher hits, attack resistance significantly improved.】 The system replied. Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief, walked into the villa, and began to pack the things he needed—mainly medical supplies and spare ammunition, as well as some changes of clothes, and put them into his backpack.
Just as the two were about to leave, the villa's communicator suddenly rang.
Lin Chen pressed the answer button, and a strange voice came from inside: "Hello? Is this Lin Chen?
We are survivors from Chengxi, those few people you saved before, remember?" Lin Chen was stunned for a moment, remembered the survivors surrounded by mutant cockroaches in the supermarket before, and asked: "Is it you? What's wrong? Encountered danger?"
"We found a supply point in Chengxi, there is a lot of gasoline and medicine inside,
but there are many mutant bats at the entrance, we can't beat them, want to ask you to come and help.
" The other party's voice carried pleading, "We can share half of the supplies with you,
please help!
" Lin Chen looked at Xia Nuan, Xia Nuan whispered: "If the number of mutant bats is large, it might be a bit troublesome, should we go and see?"
Lin Chen asked the system: "System, detect the location of the supply point mentioned by the Chengxi survivors,
what are the number and weaknesses of the mutant bats?" 【Detected the supply point is located in the underground warehouse of the abandoned hospital in Chengxi, the number of mutant bats is about 50, weaknesses are fear of light and high temperature, can use fire or strong light weapons to attack.】 The system replied. "Let's go, go and see, gasoline is very important to us, the armored vehicle needs gasoline to drive." Lin Chen made a decision and said to the communicator: "We are coming over now, you wait near the supply point, don't get close to the mutant bats."
Hanging up the communicator, the two got into the armored vehicle and drove toward the abandoned hospital in Chengxi.
On the way, Lin Chen asked the system: "System, are there any strong light weapons or fire weapons? Mutant bats are afraid of light and high temperature, need specialized weapons to deal with them." 【Can call up strong light flashlights and flamethrowers from the armored vehicle's weapon arsenal, already prepared for the host.】 The system replied, and two strong light flashlights and a flamethrower immediately popped out of the armored vehicle's storage compartment.
Xia Nuan picked up the flamethrower, tried it, and said to Lin Chen: "This should work,
it's just that there isn't much fuel, have to use it sparingly." "It's okay, use the strong light flashlight to drive them away first,
if it really doesn't work, then use the flamethrower, strive to solve it quickly." Lin Chen said, speeding up the car.
Forty minutes later,
arrived at the abandoned hospital in Chengxi,
and from afar, saw a few survivors standing at the hospital entrance. Seeing the armored vehicle, they immediately waved to signal.
Lin Chen stopped the car, walked over and asked: "The supply point is in the hospital underground warehouse? Are the mutant bats all at the entrance?
" One of the survivors nodded: "Just at the entrance of the underground warehouse, we tried to get close just now, and they rushed over, fortunately we ran fast."
Lin Chen picked up the strong light flashlight and asked the system: "System, detect the position of the mutant bats at the entrance of the underground warehouse,
are there any other dangers?" 【Detected mutant bats gathered at the entrance of the underground warehouse, no other dangerous targets, it is recommended to turn on the strong light flashlight first, then approach slowly.】 The system replied. Lin Chen turned on the strong light flashlight, the intense light immediately illuminated the entrance, and the hissing sound of bats came from inside, clearly startled.
"You wait here,
we'll go in and see.
" Lin Chen said to the survivors,
and walked into the hospital with Xia Nuan, walking toward the underground warehouse. There were indeed many mutant bats gathered at the entrance of the underground warehouse, their body size was twice as large as ordinary bats,
their wings were half a meter wide when spread, seeing the strong light, they flew back one after another, but did not leave.
"Use the flamethrower to deter them, don't really burn them to death, save fuel." Lin Chen said,
Xia Nuan immediately turned on the flamethrower, sprayed a flame, and the mutant bats were scared and flew away in all directions,
giving up the entrance. Lin Chen took the opportunity to rush over, opened the door of the underground warehouse, it was pitch black inside, and the smell of gasoline permeated the air.
He turned on the flashlight, saw many gasoline barrels and medical boxes piled up inside, it was indeed a good supply point. "Can notify them to come in and move the supplies."
Lin Chen said to Xia Nuan, took out the communicator, and let the survivors come in. The survivors were very excited to see the supplies, began to move gasoline barrels and medical boxes in an orderly manner, and according to the agreement, shared half with Lin Chen and Xia Nuan.
After moving the supplies, it was already afternoon, Lin Chen and Xia Nuan loaded the supplies onto the armored vehicle, preparing to return to Sky Villa. The survivors thanked the two repeatedly,
and said they would contact them again if they found anything in the future. Lin Chen nodded, got into the armored vehicle,
started the vehicle, Xia Nuan leaned on the passenger seat, looking out the window, and suddenly said: "Today went quite smoothly, didn't encounter too much danger.
" Lin Chen smiled: "Hope it can be this smooth in the future, with less trouble." The armored vehicle drove away from West City in the sunset, heading toward Sky Villa, the supplies in the carriage were piled full, making both of them feel a bit more secure.
