Chapter 58: Getting a Batch of Oil

Liu Mu stored both corpses into her space; the bloodstains outside were quickly washed away by the rain. Behind the door was, of course, not a pair of feet, but a pair of shoes.

She collected the shoes as well. Time was short, and she had to make a quick decision.

Rushing into the warehouse, she revealed a silent smile; inside, there were indeed two rows of Oil Tankers parked. The ultrasonic liquid level sensors on the vehicle bodies showed they were all full—how could this not be an unexpected joy?

Liu Mu gripped a dagger, professionally stabbing a random tire on each vehicle, then successfully collected the entire vehicle into her space.

It took less than five minutes to collect these vehicles.

She took a quick look around the warehouse again; surprisingly, there were quite a few oil drums inside. Regardless of what kind of oil was inside, it was all hers now.

Several racks with over a hundred drums were all scraped once and then collected.

Her figure was swift; the entire process took no more than twenty minutes, and three-quarters of the warehouse had been cleared. Remaining were two rows of wooden crates on racks, containing some metal parts; it was impossible to tell what they were for, but...

A scavenger never turns their nose up at things they don't recognize.

It was just that recycling these things wasn't as simple as prying the wooden crates open a bit; after all, the wooden slats weren't tight to begin with, and some were already rotting.

Fortunately, each crate only contained one or two parts, and the surfaces of the parts had paint that could be scraped, otherwise, she really wouldn't have known how to collect them.

When a new heat source approached outside the warehouse, she decisively stopped, hung the two guards' corpses on the rack directly opposite the warehouse door, and hid behind the door herself.

Of course, she had already taken the weapons the guards carried on them.

Soon, the warehouse door opened, the Flashlight beam shone directly onto the two corpses, and the newly arrived guards rushed in immediately. They were relatively calm; after confirming they were their own men's corpses, they turned on the warehouse lights and, in shock, reported to their superiors that an incident had occurred at this warehouse.

"Everything, yes, all the vehicles and oil drums are gone!"

The guard who entered from the other door turned pale, looking back and forth in the warehouse in disbelief, but the empty space could be seen at a glance—where could they possibly be found?

"We were guarding right outside the door; with so many things, could it be haunted?"

Amidst their suspicion and fear, Liu Mu had already disappeared into the curtain of rain.

Originally, she had wanted to take advantage of the chaos to hit another warehouse, but the quality of these people was truly high; they did not all gather at that 'haunted' warehouse, but instead immediately strengthened the guards at other warehouses and patrols everywhere.

The entire valley lit up, and Liu Mu had to leave the way she came.

"How is this possible?" The blond white man stood in the middle of the warehouse with his hands on his hips, pointing at the guards' noses, "An inside job, there must be an inside job among you, otherwise these things wouldn't have vanished into thin air. Speak, did you steal them usually, you bunch of yellow-skinned rats!"

"Joseph!" Another leading man stopped the white man's insulting speech and said sternly, "If I remember correctly, it was your men checking the warehouse today. Call your men over now and see if the things were still there a few hours ago?"

Joseph immediately argued, "Feilai, are you suspecting that my men are colluding with these people? That's impossible; they are all excellent generals retired from the Middle East, they could never do such a thing as stealing."

"It's too early to draw conclusions about what happened. All personnel related to this warehouse must be immediately isolated for investigation, including you. Also..." The man had a slightly long face, which looked even more gloomy under the bright lights, "Call me by my Chinese name, Night Owl. The fake name from when I was a mercenary has been discarded, remember!"

After Night Owl finished speaking, he immediately had the men he brought control the warehouse guards and simultaneously sealed this warehouse. He needed to report this matter to the organization immediately; in any case, it could not become his responsibility.

As for who would take the blame, hmph, he had long found those mercenaries who considered themselves superior to be an eyesore; this time was just right to teach them a lesson.

Liu Mu naturally did not know about these internal struggles. While the entire valley was under strict investigation, she had already bypassed several hidden sentries and quietly left.

The jeep drove for a stretch on the road she had come on, turned onto a side road, and the more she drove, the more familiar it felt. After driving for an hour, she suddenly discovered that the main road in the distance was the highway leading to Haicheng Wharf.

These people were truly bold; their stronghold was actually set up so close to the wharf.

Fearing the car would leave traces, she drove to the wharf, circled around, and then switched to a cargo truck before heading back.

Now that the system separated materials powered by the antimatter energy engine, there was no issue of energy leakage. She had let the system start separating after leaving Huoshan; calculating it, it would be almost finished by the time she returned to the Scrap Station.

She didn't plan to tell Yang Shuo's side about the Tiankuishe Base for the time being; this matter would keep them busy for a while, and they shouldn't be looking for trouble with the Scrap Station or her for now. When they were about done, she wouldn't mind going a few more times; plucking the materials of bad guys was just too satisfying.

Moreover, this person Jiang Xue also had to be eliminated to be at ease.

The defensive fortifications of the Scrap Station were completed three days later. After the power was turned on, let alone people, even a rat wouldn't dare to approach.

Regarding this, the smart Niu Boyi even specifically drove a few Mutated Rats to climb the fence, successfully electrocuting them into charred corpses.

"Woof woof woof woof, so scary, damn it, Boss, you have to open the door for the dog later, doggy is scared!"

The baby talk successfully earned a slap from Liu Mu, "The height you jumped isn't enough to electrocute you, at most it'll just scratch an itch."

Gouzi indicated it didn't believe her, and from that day on, it would woof to have someone open the door whenever it went out or came in. If it weren't for its paws being too big, and Liu Mu—a spiritual pauper—insisting on using heavy iron chains and locks, one wouldn't know why the electric gate was designed in the first place.

However, Gouzi didn't find it troublesome at all; instead, it had a sense of enjoyment in having someone see it off when going out and someone to welcome it home, especially when it caught prey, it needed to 'show off before people'—how could it work without an audience?

This day, Liu Mu looked at the few Mutated Rats and a large rabbit—not knowing if it had long ears like a cow or hooves—piled in front of the small building, gave him a thumbs up, and then turned around to kindly ask the soldiers and workers who hadn't left after the completion,

"Everyone, do you want to eat Mutated Animal meat for lunch?"

Their expressions changed, and everyone waved their hands, indicating that if dinner wasn't prepared here, they could go back to the Base to eat.

Xu Xiaofeng heard the commotion and came out wearing an apron, holding an iron shovel, "Don't go, don't go, dinner is almost ready, everyone can drink some water and eat."

Seeing the things Niu Boyi brought back, she said helplessly, "Didn't I say these aren't necessarily edible, don't bring them home first? Boyi, you eat them yourself, I even made meat soup to soak your rice."

Niu Boyi didn't understand why these humans wouldn't even eat fresh meat, and with his head held high, he carried all the prey into his own nest.
