Having survived nine deaths and one life, Xiao Linran wanted more than just that; he wanted to die ten times over.
"Do you think there's any way to lure the zombies to their side and then let them attack them?" Xiao Linran said with a malicious look.
"Yes, I do have some! But if the patriarch finds out, I'm afraid I'll be in big trouble!" the young man in the suit said hesitantly.
"What are you afraid of? After he dies, I will be the sole heir. What can the old man do to me?" Xiao Linran said nonchalantly.
He's currently looking down, clearly in a difficult position.
Xiao Linran rolled his eyes and said in a sinister tone, "If you don't do this properly, you'll be in big trouble!"
The young man in the suit wiped the sweat from his forehead and quickly agreed.
"That's good!" Xiao Linran stretched.
"Then I'll leave this matter to you. I hope you won't disappoint me!" Xiao Linran said meaningfully.
If Ye Ning knew that Xiao Zhengyan had actually drawn so much hatred from them, she would definitely be the first to support Xiao Jingchen in severing ties with them.
However, she is certainly not available right now.
Because she's getting ready to set off to collect fuel!
"Alright! Aunt Wang and Uncle Liu, don't worry! With Jingchen protecting me, I'll be fine. We'll be back soon!" Ye Ning waved to Aunt Wang and the others from her seat in the helicopter.
"Miss, why don't you take me with you?" Long Fei pleaded, standing under the helicopter. He hadn't been on a mission for a long time and his hands were itching to go.
"Brother Longfei, you stay here for now! We'll be back soon, and there will be plenty of opportunities in the future!" Ye Ning closed the airplane door.
"Alright, let's go back, let's go back! We'll be back soon!"
The helicopter started up and flew towards its first destination: the lumber mill.
The lumber mill was not too far from the shelter, located in the eastern suburbs, close to the zombies' path.
As the helicopter drew closer to its destination, Ye Ning finally encountered the zombie horde once again after her rebirth.
In the northernmost part of City A, a dark mass of zombies was steadily advancing towards City H. From the air, they looked like a swarm of black ants, a sight that sent chills down one's spine.
Xiao Jingchen squeezed Ye Ning's hand reassuringly.
"Jingchen, I'm fine. With you by my side, I'm not afraid of anything!" Ye Ning squeezed Xiao Jingchen's hand back.
"Jingchen, we're here! We're here! It's right there!" Ye Ning saw the mountain of wood from afar and excitedly shook Xiao Jingchen's arm.
"I see it!" After a few simple steps, Xiao Jingchen successfully landed the helicopter on the open ground in front of the lumber mill.
Ye Ning was excited and wanted to go out, but Xiao Jingchen stopped her. "Ye Ning, wait!"
"What's wrong, Jingchen? Aren't we already here?" Ye Ning asked, puzzled.
"Ye Ning, put this on first." Xiao Jingchen carefully took out a vest from a bag and draped it over Ye Ning's shoulders.
The vest was entirely black, with a simple design and no particularly special features in the fabric, but it was wrapped with tiny electric wires.
"Jingchen, how did you do that? It's amazing!" Ye Ning's face was full of surprise.
"I made this using my own superpowers. I tried over 200 different materials to find one that could store electricity, and finally found the right one," Xiao Jingchen said proudly.
"The style isn't very nice! I hope you like it!" Xiao Jingchen touched his head shyly.
"I like you so much!" Ye Ning was deeply moved.
No wonder Xiao Jingchen has been leaving early and returning late lately; it turns out he was preparing a surprise for her.
"Alright! Jingchen, let's go downstairs first! We can't delay our business!"
Ye Ning opened the hatch and jumped out first.
This timber mill is very large, with not only large logs, but also cut planks and mountains of scraps.
After jumping out of the helicopter, Ye Ning immediately began the collection work.
She closed her eyes, and one by one, piece by piece, pile by pile of wood, it quickly disappeared from its original spot and appeared in Ye Ning's space.
While Ye Ning used her spatial storage to collect the wood, Xiao Jingchen kept watch nearby.
Soon, hundreds of tons of logs, like a small mountain, disappeared from the spot.
These logs can not only be used as fuel, but also to make various tools.
Then, bundles of neatly arranged wooden planks from the other party were laid out on the floor.
Ye Ning directly moved the piles of wooden planks into her space. Soon, hundreds of piles of wooden planks were swallowed into her space.
These several hundred tons of timber account for less than 1/10 of Ye Ning's space.
Besides the piles of timber, Ye Ning also took advantage of the mountain of scraps. These scraps were just irregular pieces of wood cut from the logs. Although they couldn't be made into furniture, they were perfectly fine for burning for heating, and they saved the trouble of cutting them.
Ye Ning ran back and forth throughout the entire lumberyard. After everyone left, she would go to the east side to collect from the west side, and after collecting from the middle, she would go to collect from the sides.
An hour and a half later, Ye Ning finally stopped, panting heavily. All the wood had been stored in her spatial storage.
The fuel for heating has finally been collected. With so much wood, it's estimated that it won't be used up for ten years.
They were lucky on this trip; at least they didn't encounter any zombies despite bringing such a large lumber mill.
"Finally finished collecting!" Ye Ning stretched.
"Are you tired? Do you want to rest for a while?" Xiao Jingchen gently wiped the sweat from Ye Ning's forehead with concern.
"Jingchen, I'm fine! Let's go straight to the next stop!" Ye Ning said nonchalantly.
The zombies are getting closer, so it's best to collect all the supplies as soon as possible.
We were lucky enough not to encounter any zombies at the lumber mill; hopefully, the remaining two stops will go just as smoothly.
