Chapter 142 - 142 Crisis with the Zombies (1)
142 Crisis with the Zombies (1)
Unfortunately, he did not have much time to feel sorry for himself. A zombie walked out from the corner. This zombie that had stayed in the granary all this time was only a level-one zombie. Ling Jing finished it off with a single shot. The situation was clear now. There were no high-level zombies around, so everyone was much more at ease.
Ever since they entered City K, the zombies here were either rioting or encountering powerful Piranha Flowers. These people could hardly believe they only encountered a level-one zombie.
“Alright, this should be the only zombie here. Everyone, let’s take action. Spatial superpowers, use your space to transport the food out. The other superpowers, get moving.” Ling Jing gave the order, and everyone got down to work.
This time, because they knew that they had to transport food, all the spatial-type superpowered people in the base were deployed. Coincidentally, there were not enough military trucks to use this time.
Su Shanshan brought Gu Jincheng into a room. The door opened easily. It was different from the high-tech lock on the door outside. There was only an iron lock that could be opened easily with a single slash.
There were two bases in the entire granary. Ling Jing quickly estimated the amount of food in the entire granary. The people from the Southwestern base were guarding both rooms. As the Southwestern base had recently developed an instrument that could detect the space in spatial superpowered people, they were not afraid that these people would hide food.
Su Shanshan was in charge of one room’s food supply. After she entered the room, she closed the door and stored all the food in the room in her space in front of Gu Jincheng. The other spatial superpowered people only needed to collect food from the other room.
Gu Jincheng’s eyes darted as he looked on. People with ordinary spatial superpowers at level one only had a few square meters of space. Because of the difference in talent, the storage size varied. Currently, the highest level of spatial superpowers was level three, which was only 50 square meters. The food in this room occupied more than 500 square meters. He knew that Su Shanshan had spatial ability, but he did not expect her space to be so big.
Su Shanshan turned around and saw the look in Gu Jincheng’s eyes. She smiled and explained, “My space is not the same, so I might not be able to pass your space detection test. However, I’ve collected a room’s worth of food. When the time comes, we’ll just check the quantity.”
There were only the two of them in this room, so Su Shanshan told the truth. Besides, this space was given to her by Gu Jincheng.
She touched her chest and felt the red mark on her skin through her clothes. It was the mark left behind by the ruby necklace that Gu Jincheng had given her before the apocalypse.
The corners of Gu Jincheng’s mouth curled up slightly. He was happy with her honesty and trust, but he said, “You really don’t have any vigilance when telling such a secret to a stranger. You’d better stay by my side in the future. Otherwise, you won’t even know if you get betrayed.”
Su Shanshan nodded and said, “Okay.”
Her straightforwardness made Gu Jincheng even happier. The darkness and bitterness along the way disappeared at this moment.
Su Shanshan pushed him out the door and saw that Ling Jing was instructing the spatial superpowered people to pack things up. The rest of the people were transporting bags of food to the truck. They did not notice what was going on in this room, and Su Shanshan did not stop to help collect the food in the other room. Those people with spatial superpower could collect almost everything. The rest could fit into the truck and they did not need her.
When Ling Jing saw them coming out, he did not know what they had just done. He came to Gu Jincheng’s side and said, “Boss, we can take away the food in this room. We have to wait till the next time for the other room.”
He thought that since their cars were gone, leaving only a truck to carry people, they could not take all the grain.
Everyone sped up. As for Wang Yue and the others who had just entered, their eyes lit up when they saw the food in their hands. When they heard Ling Jing say that they would not transport all the food away, they were even happier.
