Apocalyptic Natural Disasters: I Have a Capsule House

On the tenth day of the apocalypse, Su Keke was forcibly driven out of her home by her adoptive parents and sister. The reason was to reduce one person's consumption of supplies, even though Su...

Chapter 442 Discussing the Search for Supplies

During this week, Su Keke and Grandma Qiao went out to look for people every night, but they never found any trace of those people.

It seemed that these people who controlled the poisonous bees disappeared suddenly, which made Su Keke, who was always confident, a little distressed.

There are so many people in the whole town, and everyone is hidden in the fog. It is obviously not feasible to use the life detector in the capsule house.

What’s even stranger is that even the poisonous bees seem to have disappeared in the past few days.

Officer Nick, who lives in the building opposite, has had a similar experience as Su Keke these days.

He and the mayor took the map of Limo Town and circled several suspicious locations. He led people to investigate carefully, but still did not find any clues.

The map of the town was now almost full of red circles drawn by him and the mayor, so it was strange that those people and bees were not found.

This fog made it much more difficult for them to find people, but compared to Su Keke, they did have good news.

It was during the process of searching for those suspicious persons that they found more than a dozen police officers who were hiding.

The mayor now has twenty police officers available for field duty.

The police force is constantly growing, which means it is only a matter of time before those people are found.

But sometimes time is really a problem. Although the poisonous bees suddenly disappeared in the past few days, as the number of people increased, the storage supplies in the mayor's building gradually ran out.

The western-style building is now full of people from top to bottom. In order to provide a place for the new police officers to live, the mayor and his assistant Jesse have moved in to Dr. Huang's place.

Officer Nick wanted to find those suspicious people as soon as possible, so he also moved in with Dr. Huang.

Fortunately, there are many empty rooms upstairs in Dr. Huang’s house, otherwise it would not be able to accommodate so many people.

"Aunt Ji, your injury has just healed a little, so don't come to the kitchen to help. Just wait for breakfast."

Grandma Qiao pushed Aunt Ji out of the kitchen and told her to sit at the dining table and wait for her meal.

Besides, their supplies were almost gone, so Grandma Qiao kept things simple in the morning, just grilled sausages and bread.

Both of these things only need to be briefly toasted in the oven before being eaten, so Grandma Qiao felt that she could do it alone.

"Grandma Qiao, how much food do we have left?"

Su Keke saw that the food portions had been getting smaller and smaller over the past few days, so she ran to the kitchen and asked.

"There's only some bread and sausages. We have to go out and find something to eat!"

Grandma Qiao winked at Su Keke, thinking that after the two of them finished breakfast, they would find a reason to go out and prepare some more food for everyone.

Unexpectedly, their conversation was overheard by the mayor and Officer Ni who came in.

The two men had just come back from the building opposite after having breakfast, and Jesse was still cleaning the kitchen there.

In the current situation, Jesse has to prepare all three meals for the building opposite by himself. It is really a waste of talent to let an assistant mayor hang around in the kitchen every day.

But there's nothing we can do. In the building opposite, there are only scientific researchers and police officers, and none of them can cook.

"Are you guys running out of food?"

Nick leaned over and asked with concern.

“It seems so!”

Su Keke took a bite of a piece of bread and walked out of the kitchen.

"I heard the word 'also'. Could it be that the mayor has run out of supplies?"

Dr. Huang, who was making coffee on the other side of the kitchen, heard their conversation and suddenly came out to ask.

"Doctor Huang is in the kitchen too! We really don't have many supplies left."

The mayor did not hide anything from them and told them the truth about the food reserves there.

There were so many of them that the food the mayor had stored for the researchers was no longer enough and was only enough for two days.

Now that people on both sides are short of supplies, the mayor discussed with everyone how to find supplies.

In the living room of Dr. Huang's house, except for Jesse, everyone else didn't have breakfast and sat neatly on the sofa.

There were limited sofas in the living room, so Aunt Ji, who had just recovered from her injury, and Grandma Su Keke and Qiao squeezed together to sit.

It’s true, Aunt Ji has lost a lot of weight due to this injury, but her complexion is still good. Grandma Qiao has been making beef and fish soup for her these days.

Sana also rubbed her eyes and came down from upstairs. She sat down next to Dr. Huang.

After everyone arrived, Officer Nick spoke first, "I was planning to go out and look for it by myself, but since you guys are also short of supplies, do you want to come with me?"

"No matter which supermarket you go to, the food has probably been sold out. Does your government have its own granary?"

Dr. Huang asked as he took a sip of freshly brewed coffee.

"this……"

Officer Nick glanced at Mayor Reiss, as if asking him if he could tell about the government granary.

"The government does have a small granary, but the bulk of the food in there is flour, and a small amount of rice. Rice is something that Su Keke and Grandma Qiao should be familiar with. As for other vegetables, meat, and seafood, that small granary doesn't have them."

"My advice is to go to the supermarket first. If there are no supplies in the supermarket, then you have to go to the granary."

After saying this, the mayor casually glanced at Su Keke and Grandma Qiao across from him.

"Rice tastes better to us Chinese than bread and hot dogs."

When Grandma Qiao saw the mayor looking at them, she casually said something.

Su Keke didn't say anything. She didn't want to follow Officer Nick out, as it would be difficult for her to get supplies out of the space.

There are a lot of supplies in her space, so she doesn't have to work so hard to look for them everywhere in Limo Town, especially the vegetables and fruits they grow, which are big and fresh, much better than those in the vegetable preservation area of the supermarket.

Besides, it has been foggy for more than ten days now. Even if the supermarket's fresh-keeping and freezing area has a backup power supply, those vegetables and fruits must be almost rotten.

"If you have a place to look for supplies, of course we're willing to go. Su Keke, let's go together!"

Shannah winked quickly at Su Keke, motioning her to go with her.

The last time Su Keke went to look for supplies, she didn’t call her, so this time, Sana had to go with her no matter what.

"I'm fine!"

Since Sana called her, Su Keke had no choice but to agree.

"Doctor Huang isn't going?"

Nick glanced at Dr. Huang, who was sipping a cup of coffee, and said with an unhappy look on his face.

The two girls said they were going to look for supplies, but how could he, a grown man, only think about drinking coffee?

"I...of course I'll go!"

Doctor Huang responded belatedly.

He thought, isn't Officer Ni asking nonsense? Su Keke and Shanna are both there, how can a grown man like him just sit back and enjoy the success?

"It's settled then. The four of us will go out together. I need to borrow the big truck at your door. Our police cars have been driven out by those officers to look for someone. Your truck is the most suitable for carrying supplies."

Officer Nick glanced toward the door and said to Dr. Huang.

"You can borrow the car any time you want. It's not ours anyway." Doctor Huang smiled and said indifferently.
