Chapter 189 The Poor Kid in the Apocalypse 19

Shen Ci silently uttered "Amitabha" in his heart, but his actions did not falter.

Instead, based on common sense and the building layout, they looked for the most likely place to set up a gun storage room. After searching for a while, they found a heavy metal door at the very back, with a very sturdy pin tumbler lock hanging on it.

Fortunately, these doors all have signs indicating what kind of place they are.

The key should be nearby. Shen Ci returned to the office and carefully searched the body of the fallen police officer. Finally, she found a set of keys in the leather sheath on his waist.

Fortunately, each key had a label indicating which one was for which room.

After opening the storage room, the interior space was not very large. Against the wall were several heavy gun cabinets, one of which was not completely locked. She pulled it open.

Several standard-issue pistols were neatly arranged inside, along with a few individual metal ammunition boxes. She quickly counted them.

There were approximately eight Type 92 pistols, two matching quick-loading devices, and some unopened 9mm pistol ammunition, roughly estimated at five or six hundred rounds.

In another, smaller cabinet, two more powerful riot guns and a dozen or so rounds of special riot control ammunition were found.

"Da Bao, come here, put all of these away carefully, be careful not to accidentally fire them," Shen Ci said.

Shen Dabao immediately stepped forward, his small hands stroking the guns and ammunition boxes one by one. Wherever his hands touched, the weapons instantly disappeared and were stored in his supernatural space.

Having won the first battle, Shen Ci dared not waste any time and immediately took Da Bao away from the police station to the next one.

On her hand-drawn map, she marked the locations of several other police stations and precincts in the city.

She wanted to collect as many of the scattered firearms as possible before most of the survivors were still happy about the rain or busy looking for food and water and had not yet turned their attention to the weapons.

This is not just about adding more weapons to oneself and improving one's defense.

To some extent, this also reduces the chances of these weapons falling into the hands of bad people and causing greater casualties. She simply confiscated these dangerous items in advance, which can be seen as another form of doing good deeds.

The vehicle drove almost around the entire city, collecting all the guns and ammunition they could find in the police stations. They hadn't counted them yet and planned to do a proper inventory when they got back.

Dongfang City is just an ordinary small city, and there is no large army stationed there. The firearms and ammunition that can be seized are very limited.

After dealing with these matters, Shen Ci decided to take Da Bao home. The outside world was in a mess, and there was nothing worth staying for.

After doing so much, it was already noon, and more and more survivors appeared on the streets to collect supplies.

Everyone had the same thought: now that it's raining and the heatwave is over, everything will soon return to normal.

"Shen Dabao! Stop right there!"

That's Shen Dabao!

Shen Ci didn't drive fast. After all, there were so many survivors on the road now. She wasn't a saint and didn't have the kindness to help these strangers, but she wasn't a bad person either. What if she drove too fast and hit and killed these people who had finally survived?

Having barely escaped the heatwave apocalypse and survived in such extreme environments, it's such a pity that it got hit and injured just as it was about to rain.

I am such a soft-hearted and kind person.

But because he wasn't driving fast, he was recognized by the people collecting supplies outside.

"Mom, it's Auntie! And Uncle!"

Da Bao pointed to Chen Juan outside and said to Shen Ci, "Just thinking about those days I spent at my aunt's house makes my heart tremble. It was too bitter."

It's better to stay with your own mother.

"Stop the car! Stop the car now!"

Shen Dabao, where did you get such a nice car? Hurry up and let us get in too!

Do you two have supplies? You don't look like you've suffered at all.

And you, Shen Ci, how dare you tie us up and lock us in the basement! If we hadn't been lucky, the three of us would have been in trouble long ago!

You're finished! The heatwave has stopped, and the police will be arresting you soon!

Chen Juan held a stick in one hand, blocking Shen Ci's way, while in the other hand she was holding the food she had just found, which had expired some time ago.

The food wasn't spoiled by the sun? Shen Ci was somewhat surprised. The events seemed to have unfolded differently from the timeline in the records; something seemed to have changed.

"Then go call the police. If you don't move, I'm driving."

Shen Ci said coldly, "This family is really lucky. They're still alive. They didn't starve to death in the basement for so long. They've survived until now, but they've all lost a lot of weight."

Shen Ci was about to run them over. If they didn't want to die, she would move aside and wouldn't get hurt. If they wanted to die, then she would have no choice but to grant their wish.

"Is Da Bao back?"

"Dabao, where have you been these past few days? Grandpa hasn't seen you for so long, I was so worried!"

Suddenly, an old man named Li appeared from the side, speaking in a concerned tone. If Shen Ci didn't know how cunning the old man Li was, she would almost have believed him.

Seeing Grandpa Li's changing expression, Shen Dabao couldn't manage a smile at all.

There are two other people with Grandpa Li now: his grandson and his daughter-in-law. Where is Grandpa Li's son?

"Uncle Li, it's been a long time!"

"Where's your son? I haven't seen him."

Shen Ci asked, and Grandpa Li's face stiffened. Shen Ci noticed that his daughter-in-law was looking at Grandpa Li with a frightened look. There was probably more to this than met the eye.

"Sigh, the heatwave a while back was really agonizing; he didn't make it through."

Grandpa Li said with a sorrowful expression, but the pain was not visible in his eyes.

"Grandpa, Dabao has some Coke on him, I want to drink some too."

Just then, Grandpa Li's grandson suddenly shouted, and Shen Dabao quickly threw the cola into the car so that no one could see it.

With such a prolonged heatwave, while others can't even get clean water—no, dirty water—they actually have Coke to drink?

It is not scarcity that is a concern, but inequality.

"Hehe, my condolences."

We're leaving now, everyone move aside, or don't worry about it.

Everyone else had their eyes on Da Bao, so she started the car and drove off, knowing she had to leave if she didn't want to die.

"You're not allowed to leave! You're not allowed to leave!"

"You illegally detained us for so long, now you must make compensation. I don't want your money, I just need some supplies. Not much, just five boxes of instant noodles, 20 boxes of bottled water, and 20 boxes of compressed biscuits!"

Chen Juan made outrageous demands as soon as she opened her mouth, and Shen Ci didn't even bother to give her a glance. She continued to push forward, regardless of whether Chen Juan blocked her way or not. She had already said what she needed to say, and good advice was useless against a damned ghost.

"Mom, it's Chen Kangkang! He has blood on his mouth!!"

Da Bao suddenly pointed behind Grandpa Li, his aunt, and the others.
