Chapter 87 What mysterious army?



After dinner, Su Li and the others went back to their rooms to rest.

After all, starting tomorrow, I'll be busy traveling around for a while!

Although Lu Yu and his team were on night watch downstairs, Su Li and his group, out of caution, left some people on the second floor to keep watch.

Although Su Li was willing to believe in Lu Yu's character, nothing is absolute, and it's always good to be cautious in this situation.

Compared to the previous cautious approach of having two people on duty per shift, now three people take turns on duty each night, and then another three people take over the next day!

Nothing happened overnight, but the next morning, before seven o'clock, the area downstairs was already bustling with activity.

Su Li rubbed her head and sat up.

If you were still in the military, getting up at this time wouldn't be considered early!

But this body's biological clock has never woken up this early since graduating from high school.

Su Li glanced at the time; it was 6:34 a.m.

Xuanqing, lying on the bed next to the pillow, sensed Su Li's movement. Although still asleep, it flicked its tail against the sheets.

Upon seeing this, Su Li reached out and hooked the cat's tail with her fingertip, giving it a couple of rubs. The tip of the black tail slipped off her fingertip, and Xuan Qing half-opened her eyes, looking at Su Li.

Su Li smiled, picked up the black cat, placed it on her lap, and rubbed her nose against the cat's black head: "Time to get up, Qing the cat. You're going to be busy today!"

Upon hearing Su Li's sudden new way of addressing him, Xuan Qing's body, which had been stretched out in a long, supple motion, stiffened for a moment!

He looked up and met the girl's smiling, teasing eyes.

Then the cat got upset again: "What kind of weird name is 'Cat Green'!"

I've said it so many times, he's a cat demon! A powerful cat demon who's almost a thousand years old!

How could you call him by such a soft, sticky nickname!

Although that's what he was thinking, seeing the girl's happy smile in front of him, Xuan Qing ultimately didn't object to Su Li in person.

After all, it's rare for her to seem so relaxed today.

This ease likely comes from the team led by the man downstairs!

Xuanqing jumped off Su Li's lap, stood by the bed, stretched out a big yawn, and opened his mouth wide.

The person and the cat walked out of the room together, while the second floor remained quiet.

When Su Li and Xuan Qing arrived at the entertainment area on the second floor, they saw Qi Zhi still nestled on the sofa, looking at his phone.

After a few days of free time, we've actually watched almost all the movies, TV shows, and variety shows we found on our phones.

Su Li then realized that she had forgotten her earlier idea of ​​collecting more books to pass the time.

It's impossible to go back to the city now, so I'll have to wait until I get back this afternoon and try my luck at finding a small library or something similar nearby!

"Sister Su Li, why are you up so early? It's not even seven o'clock yet."

Seeing Su Li and Xuan Qing arrive, Qi Zhi sat up straight on the sofa, rubbed his eyes, and looked a little surprised.

After all, Su Li has always been the one who loves to sleep the most among them.

Su Li watched Qi Zhi rubbing his eyes and replied, "I woke up when I heard the noise downstairs. Go take a nap, I'll wake you up when it's time to eat."

Qi Zhi did not refuse after hearing this. He had been on guard duty since 3 a.m. and he did need to catch up on his sleep.

After Qi Zhi left, Su Li walked to the window and first lifted the cardboard to look at the situation outside.

It was already bright outside, and the deserted streets felt eerily quiet.

The agreed departure time with Lu Yu downstairs was eight o'clock in the morning. Su Li checked the time and waited until seven o'clock before getting up to prepare to cook dumplings.

As they passed by the room, they happened to run into Lin Dong coming out, and the two of them started making breakfast together.

Breakfast was quick: dumplings that had been prepared the night before. In addition, Lin Dong made a seaweed and egg drop soup, and Su Li brought out a small bag of pickled vegetables.

Once everyone was ready, Fang Chen and the other two got up one after another. Only Qi Zhi, who had gone back to sleep, was still asleep. Lin Dong went to wake him up.

After breakfast, there were still more than ten minutes until the agreed time.

Su Li put all the important items back into her spatial storage upstairs, then packed away the RV. She also took out some food and water from her spatial storage for everyone to put in their backpacks.

Besides that, everyone also carried a machete that was a little longer than their forearm.

This is so that if I run out of superpowers, I'll still have a weapon to defend myself.

After everyone had put on their masks, goggles, and gloves, Su Li helped Xuan Qing put on his mask, goggles, and claw gloves as well, and then they went downstairs.

Lu Yu's team downstairs was almost ready, and there was a moment of silence when they saw Su Li and her group coming down!

But the next second, the silence instantly turned into an exclamation: "Wow! That's cool!"

"So handsome!"

"Those goggles, that black mask, what kind of mysterious force are they, hahaha!"

However, besides those who simply thought Su Li and the others' outfits were cool and stylish, there were also some clever people who, upon closer examination, understood the intention behind their attire.

Chen Hao, the strongest wood-type ability user in Lu Yu's team, looked at Su Li and the others' attire and walked up to Lu Yu: "Captain, shouldn't we also take some protective measures?"

Lu Yu nodded in agreement, but he didn't have much protective equipment in his space. After thinking for a moment, he walked up to Su Li and asked, "Do you have any more goggles like these? I'd like to exchange some supplies for them."

Su Li was taken aback, then nodded. She had received quite a few goggles and the like at the sporting goods store in the small commodity market. These things don't wear out quickly, and even if she gave some to Lu Yu's team, she would still have enough left for a long time.

So she replied, "Yes, what would you like to trade?"

Su Li thought Lu Yu would mention something like food or medicine, but to her surprise, Lu Yu blurted out without hesitation:

"Can we use gasoline? Two large barrels of gasoline can be exchanged for thirty goggles and one hundred masks."

These words made Su Li raise an eyebrow slightly. As expected of the male lead, he was indeed generous.

However, there's no such thing as too much gasoline these days, so Su Li naturally wouldn't refuse.

So Su Li took out what Lu Yu wanted from her spatial storage, and Lu Yu also took out two barrels of oil as agreed.

The oil drums were very large, about 80 or 90 centimeters high and more than half a meter wide, and they were filled to the brim with oil.

Looking at the two barrels of oil, Su Li became increasingly satisfied with Lu Yu as her business partner. She put the two barrels of oil into her spatial storage and went out to park the RV first.

Once Lu Yu's team was ready, everyone boarded the vehicles and headed in a grand procession toward the food factory they had previously identified!
