"Xue'er, here's a parasol for you."

Ye Lei handed the umbrella to Chen Xueer.

"Thank you, Brother Lei."

Chen Xueer frowned and opened the parasol.

"Brother Lei, is there anything I can do to help you?"

"Just keep an eye out for me. If you spot any zombies or survivors, let me know immediately."

Ye Lei's intention was simply to bring her out to experience the hardships of survival; he hadn't considered helping her.

"Standing guard and keeping watch, does that mean I'm Wang Erxiao?"

Chen Xueer playfully raised her pistol.

"Yes, you are my Wang Erxiao."

Ye Lei was amused by her adorable appearance.

"Orders received: Protect the commander's safety."

Chen Xueer gave a 0.5-point military salute.

"Alright, stop fooling around. I'm going to get to work. You need to be on your guard too; this is no joke."

After Ye Lei finished speaking, he took out a lightsaber, which emitted a blue light.

He aimed at the container lock and swung it lightly. It felt like he didn't have to use much force to break it open. It seems this lightsaber is much more useful than a Swiss Army knife.

The first container was filled with various frozen and refrigerated foods, but due to the prolonged high temperature, it had become unbearably smelly. Even Ye Lei felt so disgusted that he almost vomited. He quickly closed the door and went to the next one.

The second container contained textiles and footwear, including all kinds of fabrics, garments, shoes, and home textile products. Ye Lei bought them all without hesitation, as these were essential items despite the high temperature.

The third container contains various electronic products, including televisions, computers, mobile phones, and home appliances. These are likely intended for export, as they are daily necessities and the more the better.

…………

Ye Lei opened each container one by one, taking almost everything except for some rotten food and vegetables. He even took many things he had never seen before, thinking they might come in handy.

An hour later, even Ye Lei, who was wearing sun protection clothing, began to pant, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

He took two bottles of drinks from his spatial storage, handed one to Chen Xueer, and planned to rest for a while before continuing.

"Brother Lei, do you think we would have become rich if this had happened before?"

Chen Xueer really only cares about money.

“In the past? You and I would have been reporting to the police station long ago.”

"That's true, so this could be considered theft!"

"Did I steal it? Didn't you see me taking it openly and honestly?!"

"Haha...that's right, this is what they call 'if you don't take it, it's free'!"

One sentence made Chen Xueer laugh.

"We call this making the most of resources. Think about it, when the tide comes in, all of these will sink to the bottom of the sea. What a waste!"

"That's right, it seems we've done another good deed."

"Of course."

Wouldn't you call this the most shameless thief in the world? Taking other people's things and then having such a high-sounding excuse.

After resting, Ye Lei resumed his collection work. He had to finish before the sun reached its highest point, otherwise he wouldn't be able to withstand the 50°C heat.

After working for another hour, dozens of boxes of supplies were stored in his spatial storage. Ye Lei felt quite tired.

"Brother Lei, Brother Lei, come quick! There are so many people over there!"

Chen Xueer ran over and called out.

"So many people? How is that possible?"

"Come and see, it's true."

Chen Xueer pulled Ye Lei to the other end of the container.

He then realized that there were indeed many people on the shore, queuing up and holding umbrellas, as if they were boarding a ship.

What's going on? Where are these people going? Is there any safe place in the ocean?

Ye Lei sheathed his lightsaber, pulled Chen Xue'er closer, and wanted to see what was going on.

"Sister, where are you going?"

Ye Lei walked to the back of the line and asked a middle-aged woman.

"You didn't know that? We're going to the safety island!"

The young woman looked very proud.

"Safe island? Where is the safe island?"

Ye Lei seemed to have never heard of it before.

"I don't know either. I came here after reading their brochure. It said there were no zombies and all kinds of delicious fruits!"

"Ah! There are places like this?"

Ye Lei sensed something was wrong.

"Look, this is their promotional brochure."

The young woman handed her a brochure with a few pages of pages.

Ye Lei flipped through it; it was filled with all sorts of exquisite photos: island beaches, fine wines and delicacies, various fruits, and even beautiful women in bikinis, smiling and waving.

Anyone with a little common sense can tell at a glance that these are all computer-generated photos and not real photographs.

"Sister, these photos are all fake!"

"Really? But they say it's all true!"

Aren't you afraid they're lying?

"How could that be! Didn't you see how many people are queuing up?"

Ye Lei flipped through the prices at the end and was surprised to find that they didn't accept any cash, but rather 50 grams of gold or equivalent jewelry.

He finally understood: this was a real-life fraud ring; even in the apocalypse, people were still profiting from disaster.

It can only be said that these survivors, in order to survive, were easily deceived by these fictitious safe havens.

However, now that Ye Lei has run into this person, he won't let him succeed, and this is also a task given by the system.

Are you still coming or not?
