After getting up and taking a few steps, Su Zheng sensed something was wrong. "How about this, we'll send someone to get the item and deliver it to you as soon as we get it."
"Let's go together, more people will make it faster," Lu Sheng said calmly.
They knew that Su Zheng wanted to express his gratitude for the grain, but the situation was urgent, and every minute they waited increased the risk.
It wasn't that she looked down on the efficiency of the K3 base; it was just that she had seen K3 itself struggling to keep up with the demands along the way.
This wave of refugees has had a huge impact on the order of the K3 base, and all the staff within K3 are already overwhelmed with related matters.
Even if the food reserves are enough to cope for a period of time, the reception and resettlement of more than 20,000 refugees is still a huge undertaking.
If not handled properly, the K3 base could even face the crisis of a complete collapse of order.
"Alright, I'll arrange the manpower now. We'll set off in half an hour."
Lu Sheng's all-knowing gaze was so sharp that it made Su Zheng feel a little awkward.
...
Half an hour later, K3 arranged for a military vehicle to meet up with Lu Sheng.
The group consisted of Lu Sheng's familiar faces: Lü Songjia, the bespectacled young man, Ma Dongmei, Lin Xiaobao, Jiang Lan, Su Zheng, and a young girl with explosive abilities.
When the car arrived at Lu Sheng's base, Sun Tiantian, Xiao Yu, and Zhang Xiaojuan were also picked up.
Worried that Lin Xiaoduo might encounter any unexpected situations, Xu Yi and Han Rui stayed at the base on standby.
The military supply depot was located at the border of H City and A City. The car sped along and finally arrived before sunset.
Several nearby blocks have been completely overrun, with hordes of corpses roaming the streets. Within sight, there is no sign of any living person.
Due to the scarcity of food, infighting occasionally breaks out among the zombie hordes, and the losing zombies quickly become temporary food.
The air was thick with the stench of decay, and you could easily be knocked over by swarms of mutated flies if you took just a couple of steps.
Before the apocalypse, this armory was not under the jurisdiction of K3 Base. Due to the special and strategic nature of military supplies reserves, K3 Base only knew the approximate location of the armory, and Lu Sheng and others had to figure out the specific route themselves.
"Xiao Lan, open up your view and take a look. The road conditions around here are a bit complicated." Su said seriously as the car stopped at the main intersection.
Jiang Lan's ability level has been raised to Tier 4, and she only needed a few minutes to survey the entire map from a god-like perspective. (Friendly reminder: Jiang Lan's ability is Omniscient Eye, which allows her to open her field of vision regardless of distance after activation; she used it in the distant n chapters before.)
“All the roads are blocked by hordes of zombies; cars can’t get through.” After scanning the map, Jiang Lan pursed her lips and suggested, “Let’s not drive on this section of the road.”
"These zombies haven't had any meat in a while. If the car goes in, it will make too much noise and easily attract all the zombies in the vicinity."
"Get out of the car first, and we'll walk in on the side path."
At the critical moment, Lu Sheng made a decisive decision.
There are two or three large industrial parks nearby. If they really alert all the zombies, Lu Sheng and her team will probably have to deal with 20,000 zombies.
Fortunately, with Jiang Lan, who was like a walking cheat code for the entire map, and the whole team reaching level four or above, they were able to deal with the level two and three zombies along the way very quickly.
After about twenty minutes, the group finally arrived at the gate of the armory.
The sun was already setting, and the entire park's backup power had long been exhausted, leaving the whole park shrouded in a gray, dark hue.
Zhuangzhuang lay on the park gate, sniffed hard, and began to explore the park.
There are three ten-story office buildings inside the compound, and several large warehouses on the other side of the park.
"There aren't many zombies in the courtyard; most of them are concentrated in the office building and warehouse."
While diligently sensing the surroundings, Zhuangzhuang reported the situation to Lu Sheng: "I can sense that the level of mutation among the zombies here far exceeds that of the outside world. The zombies in the building and warehouse are at least level three."
"There are probably over a thousand in total, including over a hundred mutated beasts in addition to the mutated zombies."
The entire park was extremely large. After Zhuangzhuang finished searching the whole place, he was so tired that he saw stars and then snuggled up to Lu Sheng's lap, acting all cute.
As the level of the mutated zombies increases, their resistance to perception also gradually increases. It's no easy feat for Zhuangzhuang to scan the entire park despite the backlash from thousands of mutated zombies.
After Lu Sheng relayed the situation to everyone, their expressions were not optimistic.
“Without a map of the armory, we’ll be in trouble if we just barge in like this,” Zhang Xiaojuan asked seriously. “And we don’t even know if your military has set up any defensive, covert security measures in the park.”
Important military bases are usually heavily guarded. If they recklessly break in and accidentally trigger an alarm system, attracting thousands of mutated zombies is no laughing matter.
Su Zheng frowned awkwardly. "Military supplies reserves are highly classified and require a confidentiality agreement. Before the apocalypse, this area belonged to the Second War Zone, and we had no right to inquire about it."
"We need to find out what's going on inside." Ma Dongmei put her arm around Jiang Lan's shoulder. "Xiao Lan, try to see if you can make out anything?"
Jiang Lan tried to activate her superpower, but quickly shook her head. "Without electricity, I can't see what's inside."
The group looked at each other in bewilderment.
We must send someone in to scout ahead.
"I'll go inside and take a look. You guys wait here." Su Zheng took off his sidearm and handed it to Lü Song.
"Are you... sure you can do it?"
Ma Dongmei and Lin Xiaobao had subtle expressions, as if they wanted to say something but hesitated.
Lu Sheng and the others' expressions showed that they understood each other but didn't say anything; they were still good friends.
Even Lü Song, who was most loyal to Su Zheng, hesitated for a moment before saying, "How about I go instead?"
