Chapter 45 Cutting off the enemy's supply lines and striking at their heart.



Hearing Zhang Miaomiao's call, Lin Shuyu glanced at the two people sitting on the money tree and felt a little uncomfortable.

I have a feeling that this matter is not so simple.

Moreover, is it really appropriate to use the former president of the Guishi Commercial Street Chamber of Commerce as a means of transportation?

"Captain, hurry up and get on! We'll get out faster if we ride the money tree!"

Hearing Miao Miao's repeated urging, Lin Shuyu thought for a moment and resignedly climbed the money tree. As soon as she sat down, she suddenly stood up and walked over the pile of rotten flesh with ease, as if she were a dragonfly skimming the water, and even took a few sips of nutrients for herself.

Looking at the other two people sitting in the tree, Su Luo suddenly asked, propping his head up with one hand, "How is it?"

"Amazing, no wonder you're Sister Su."

"It's quite a rare experience to walk on a tree for the first time in my life."

"So, you had a pretty good experience?"

Lin Shuyu nodded subconsciously, then suddenly realized that the question had a hidden meaning, and perhaps...

Sure enough, the next second, Lin Shuyu saw Su Luo extend his hand to him, and at the same time heard Su Luo say in a slightly amiable tone, "Since you are satisfied, who of you will give me the 50,000 ghost coins?"

Seize, seize less?

Fifty thousand ghost coins!

Lin Shuyu, with an air of knowing all along, hesitated for a few moments before, under Zhang Miaomiao's pitiful yet reluctant gaze, taking out 50,000 yuan of ghost money given to her by the base and giving it to Su Luo.

"Thanks."

Without any hesitation, Su Luo took the ghost money and counted it in front of Lin Shuyu. It was clear that it was fifty thousand.

She pointed it out clearly, but Zhang Miaomiao felt a pang of heartache seeing it.

That was naive.

If I had known that sitting for 50,000 ghost money would cost him, I would never have come up here.

The thought that 50,000 ghost money is the price for two people, and that one person... was Sister Su doing this on purpose? Waaah, this joke isn't funny.

Soon, with the help of the money tree, the group approached the warehouse without any hindrance.

As they got closer, Lin Shuyu and Zhang Miaomiao noticed that the warehouse seemed to have a badge printed on it, along with a large character for "business".

Lin Shuyu frowned, a guess forming in her mind.

"Could this be... a warehouse in the Guishi Commercial Street of the provincial capital?"

"Bingo, you guessed right." Su Luo snapped his fingers and gave Lin Shuyu an approving look.

"Since we know where their warehouse is, why bother going to the Ghost Market to buy it?"

Lin Shuyu: What you said seems to make a lot of sense!

"We'll sneak in later. You can take whatever you want inside! Don't leave until you've emptied it!"

"This is the warehouse of the Ghost Market Commercial Street. Isn't there any guard?" Although they are currently hiding inside the money tree and outsiders might not be able to see them, once they enter, there's no guarantee they won't be discovered...

"Don't worry." Su Luo said with a cold laugh, "The Guishi Commercial Street in the provincial capital is probably busy receiving guests right now."

Upon hearing this, Lin Shuyu remembered that tonight was the day the president of the Guishi Commercial Street Chamber of Commerce in the provincial capital invited the presidents of the various Guishi Commercial Street Chambers of Commerce in his jurisdiction to a banquet to reminisce.

According to their speculation, all the main forces should be lying in ambush on the main street of the newly appointed president of the Red City Ghost Market Business Association!

The chamber of commerce president, who should have been appearing in the eerie commercial street of the provincial capital...

Lin Shuyu glanced at Miss Su beside her without showing any emotion, and even felt a little sorry for the president of the Chamber of Commerce in the Guishi Commercial Street of the provincial capital.

Like the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind, you lie in ambush in front while others circle around to the rear, striking directly at the heart of the enemy and cutting off their supply lines!

As they had guessed, the warehouse was indeed lax in its guard. However, a few wandering ghosts were no match for a two-star ghost; they wouldn't even be enough to fill a gap in someone's teeth.

They opened the warehouse window and entered the warehouse from top to bottom along the branches of the money tree.

"My God, so much stuff, all food!" Zhang Miaomiao's eyes widened in amazement. After confirming that there were no other enemies in the warehouse, she boldly began to move the food.

"Take what's easy to store and has a long shelf life first." Lin Shuyu pretended to tap Zhang Miaomiao's head, took the potato chips from his hands, hesitated for a moment, and finally left a bag in his hands. "Rice, noodles, oil, flour, canned food, compressed biscuits, instant noodles, smoked meat, and you can also take the drinking water here."

"Quick, pack these first!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Miaomiao shoved the bag of potato chips into the backpack behind her, then activated her mutated space and packed everything in the warehouse in the order the captain had just mentioned, trying to be as comprehensive as possible. Even if she couldn't take everything, she would choose to store some of each item.

Looking at the dazzling array of goods, Zhang Miaomiao never expected that her task would be so enjoyable.

"Captain, I'll bring two of these candies; they won't take up much space."

Unable to resist Zhang Miaomiao's request, Lin Shuyu turned a blind eye. After all, she was the youngest brother in the team, and he could bring her along if he liked, as long as it didn't waste space storing these things.

While they were busy setting things up, Su Luo wasn't idle either. The warehouse didn't look big from the outside, but it was quite full of things inside. However, most of the items were also in Su Luo's small house, and even more complete in terms of variety.

Of course, having something doesn't mean you shouldn't take it. If it's offered to you, why not take it?

Since Lin Shuyu and the others didn't have extra space to store those snacks and desserts, Su Luo accepted them all without hesitation. As long as she saw something she liked, she would simply raise her hand and take it into her own little house.

As Xiao Yi was cleaning the hut, she turned around and saw a pile of snacks on the floor of the hut, as if it were commonplace.

Pick up some snacks with earlier expiration dates and place them around the small house so the owner can easily access and enjoy them anytime. Then, arrange the remaining snacks according to their categories in the storage room.

In about an hour, everything that could be moved from the entire warehouse was taken, leaving nothing behind. Zhang Miaomiao, in particular, couldn't help but giggle with joy. Even Lin Shuyu couldn't hold back her laughter and even helped Zhang Miaomiao pack some snacks that were special to the Guishi Commercial Street and that she had never seen before.

The base originally gave him 200,000 ghost coins, not much, but not a small amount either. Who knew that a zero-yuan purchase would happen? Apart from the initial 50,000 ghost coins given to Miss Su, he made a pure profit of 150,000 ghost coins!

Moreover, the supplies they brought back were definitely not something that could be bought with 200,000 ghost money.

The mission was successfully completed, and the three prepared to retreat. As they moved, a faint sound of footsteps caught Su Luo's attention.

Is anyone there?

Enemy? Strange creature?

Su Luo coldly glanced at a corner of the warehouse, where some shelves were filled with rotten fresh meat, expired canned goods, worm-infested rice, and maggot-infested carrion, reeking of a foul stench—a world apart from the warehouse outside.

"who?"

"come out!"

As Su Luo spoke, he approached the corner. Seeing this, Lin Shuyu and Zhang Miaomiao also raised their guns and drew their military daggers, flanking Su Luo as he moved towards the corner...
