Reborn Before the Apocalypse: Hoarding Billions of Resources

A super-widespread meteor shower descended upon Blue Star, reshuffling existing scientific laws. Various monsters arrived on Earth with the black rain, alongside the unknown black domains formed af...

Chapter 84 Courier Station

Jiang Shenglin said that he felt like he had arrived in a real magical city.

It's truly a case of some people dying from drought while others are drowning from floods!

If the people from the Hope Base came here and saw such a harmonious scene, they would be absolutely astonished!

Jiang Shenglin was walking slowly in the residential area when he suddenly looked up at the sky in surprise and was startled.

There was a level 3 winged membranous monster and dozens of crow monsters circling overhead.

But strangely, none of them attacked the survivors on the ground. He had been standing there for so long, and the level three winged monster hadn't even glanced at him.

After flying for a while without finding any intruders, it flew to a terrace in the middle of a tall building and lay down to rest.

You wouldn't even notice it unless you looked closely; there was actually a man-eating level 3 winged membrane monster standing on it.

Strange, so strange! How could a bloodthirsty monster possibly coexist peacefully with humans!

The prophet had predicted that the next wave of monster evolution would occur in winter, and now is the time when monsters are rampant. However, apart from that level three winged membrane monster, there are no other monsters in Gu Mingyue's base.

Jiang Shenglin was shocked several times in just a few hours.

I even pinched myself several times, feeling like I was dreaming. This was Datong City, a dream castle, the human Eden!

Gu Mingyue did not restrict Jiang Shenglin's range of activities within the community.

Before the exchange of supplies was successful, Gu Mingyue had given the Winged Membrane Monster a mental suggestion, so it couldn't escape unless it wanted to experience the feeling of being carried into the sky by the Level 3 Winged Membrane Monster again.

This monster attack caused her to lose a lot of building materials.

She also plans to nail electric fences to the walls of the community, set up a ring of pit traps around the perimeter of the community, renovate her base, and stockpile a small amount of diesel fuel, chemicals, and other supplies.

After asking the base members about their occupations before the apocalypse.

Gu Mingyue learned that Zhang Sheng had worked at a sporting goods store, Su Xiaoyu had worked at a large courier transfer station, and someone else was a small business owner who ran a small building materials shop...

Supermarkets and grocery stores outside have long been looted; perhaps you can find some food at courier stations piled high with packaging boxes.

Gu Mingyue immediately made a decision, "Okay, all of you get on the bus, let's grab those supplies now, no, let's pick them up."

Shen Ming and the mutated animals were all left behind by Gu Mingyue to guard the house.

She left in a flashy red sports car.

The roar of a huge engine cut through the gate of the residential area and sped away into the distance.

There isn't a single monster to be seen within a kilometer of the Junyue Mansion residential area.

After leaving the residential area, a few naive, big-eared monsters, hearing the roar of the car, excitedly ran towards the source of the sound.

Then, a horde of monsters suddenly emerged from various rooms, while two level-three monsters hovered in the sky, occasionally extending their sharp claws to scratch Gu Mingyue's red sports car.

Seeing this, Gu Mingyue not only did not slow down, but instead pressed the accelerator pedal all the way down.

They didn't take them seriously at all.

Before the monster in front could even see who was sitting in the red metal vehicle, it was knocked away, then crushed, its flesh and blood stuck to the ground.

The first place the group visited was a large express delivery transfer station.

Upon opening the door, one could see numerous unopened express parcels resting on the conveyor belt.

There were also many packages on the ground, seemingly untouched.

"Wait, don't go in yet." Gu Mingyue stopped Zhang Sheng, who was about to rush in, and had Xinghe take out a piece of rotten meat from her spatial storage and throw it at the delivery box on the ground.

The once quiet courier station immediately erupted in activity.

From the seemingly intact delivery box on the ground, a swarm of tiny, red ants, each about the size of a thumb, emerged and crawled densely toward the rotten flesh.

That area was instantly covered by ants, and the rotten flesh was devoured clean in no time.

Zhang Sheng, who had just been clamoring to go inside, immediately got goosebumps all over his body.

Gu Mingyue acted as if she were extremely skilled in her work, having Xinghe take out gasoline from her spatial storage. She then used her spatial domain to cover the swarm of ants with gasoline, poured it out, and casually tossed down a match!

The ants were instantly burned, crackling and popping.

After burning the insects three times in a row, and no more insects came out, Gu Mingyue stopped torturing and killing the mutated insects.

Smelling the burnt aroma of the mutated ants, the level-two monsters hiding in the corner also sniffed and ran out.

During the run, several large, open parcels were kicked away, and the white bones inside rolled all over the ground.

These monsters have even learned to hide the human bones they've eaten to create a false impression of peace!

Zhang Sheng and the others became even more wary of the monster.

Upon seeing so much food, the level 2 monsters excitedly rushed over.

Gu Mingyue did not take action herself, but Zhang Sheng and the others had already changed into simple armor, and were carrying flamethrowers, electric axes and electric forks, and rushed forward with shouts.

Su Xiaoyu also pulled out vines and worked together with the others, back to back, to fight the monsters.

Xinghe controlled thirteen level-two monsters, leaving only two for them to deal with, but the group still struggled to fight them.

Gu Mingyue gently released her mental domain to control the speed of the two level-two monsters, and the group barely managed to burn one of them to death with a flamethrower.

An electric axe isn't very effective; it can slow them down with an electric shock, but it can't cut through such thick hides. You have to shock them first and then burn them with fire.

Later, Gu Mingyue couldn't stand it anymore, so she used a mental piercing technique to cleanly and efficiently shatter the monster's brain.

Then Xinghe collected everything in the express station into the stationary space, even the conveyor belt device in the sorting area was taken away, including the empty cardboard boxes on the ground.

Static spaces cannot contain living organisms, and the insect eggs and adult insects hidden in the express delivery packages were kept out.

As for whether there was any undamaged food or other supplies inside, Gu Mingyue didn't have time to check. She could just hand them over to Su Xiaoyu and the others to open the blind boxes one by one when they got back to the base.

We had just finished collecting the supplies when more than a dozen people suddenly appeared outside.

Their cheeks were gaunt, their hair was greasy and sticky, their faces were dirty, and each of them was holding a weapon.

Upon entering, they found the floor empty, with only the monster's corpse and a few other living people, including Gu Mingyue.

He looked somewhat surprised.

"So many man-eating ants were burned to death? And those level two monsters are all dead too."

"Ah, where are the packages? They're all gone. Did they get moved by the space ability users? Then we came all this way for nothing?" someone muttered under their breath.

Behind them stood five men and women with fairly full cheeks. The tallest young man among them had bright red hair and black earrings, looking every bit the energetic young man.

At this moment, Leng Yan and Gu Mingyue stared at each other.

"Hey, you guys in front, stop right there."

A male superhuman next to the young man shouted, "We found this place first and have been staking it out for days. You can't take all those packages with you."
