Chapter 358 Material Coordination
That afternoon, Han Shuo and Cheng Shenghong organized everyone to start packing their luggage.
Before they knew it, Han Shuo had been staying here for more than a week, while Cheng Shenghong and the others who arrived earlier had been staying for about half a month.
During this period, everyone was able to experience a sense of comfort once again.
This place is really nice.
The villa is located below a cliff and right next to the sea, making it not only remote but also providing a frequent opportunity to enjoy seafood.
Normally, zombies rarely appear in the surrounding area, and mutants are even rarer.
In today's zombie-infested apocalypse, finding such a peaceful place is truly a difficult thing.
Nevertheless, everyone knew that they would have to leave this place the next morning.
After all, this comfort was only temporary; this position ultimately did not create a safe distance enough from the zombie king's side.
...
As evening approached, everyone packed all their luggage thoroughly, making sure not to waste a single thing, and loaded it all into the car, ready to depart the next morning.
After everything was done, Han Shuo called everyone over.
"Brother Yao Nan, could you please report to everyone on all the supplies we currently have?"
Cheng Shenghong nodded and took out a piece of paper from his pocket, on which he recorded the inventory of supplies.
"Cough, cough."
He cleared his throat and began to read.
"As for food, we have enough for several truckloads. Before we evacuated from the underground research institute, we obtained a large amount of food. So, we have plenty of these supplies now, and we won't have to worry about food on the road ahead."
"Then there are medical supplies and some disposable daily necessities."
"We don't have too many of these two types, but most external injuries can be treated with bandaging. With our current reserves, these kinds of medicines should last us for a while."
"After all, everyone is in good physical condition and rarely gets sick. We should be more careful about what we put in our mouths. I think that although we don't have many medical supplies, they are more than enough."
"As for disposable daily necessities, these kinds of things are not necessities for us, and even if we run out, it won't have much of an impact on the road."
After he finished speaking, Han Shuo nodded.
He felt that Cheng Shenghong's analysis was correct; although some supplies were not in large reserves, the impact was indeed not significant.
Then he asked another question.
"Brother Demon Man, what about weapons and fuel?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Shenghong showed a slightly regretful expression and began to explain to everyone.
"Actually, the two things Brother Han mentioned are precisely what we lack."
"We have enough firearms, one for each person and a little more, but our ammunition reserves are really not that many."
"We need to find a way to replenish our stock of weapons with high destructive power, such as grenades, bombs, and rockets. Otherwise, we might run out of them in the event of a large zombie horde or a major battle."
At this point, he shook his head with a wry smile.
"As for fuel, it's even worse. We have a lot of vehicles, but gasoline and diesel are really hard to find right now."
"A while ago, when we were patrolling the area, we would pry open the fuel tanks of any cars we saw, but the results were rather disappointing."
"We've only just filled all the vehicles' fuel tanks today. As for spare fuel, each vehicle only has about two barrels."
...
"Oh, I see..."
After listening, Han Shuo frowned and muttered to himself softly.
This is indeed a problem. To ensure everyone's safety, weapons and ammunition must not be cut off during the journey westward.
Once the trucks start running, with their current fuel reserves, they will probably run out of fuel in about two days.
If they cannot find a refueling station nearby, they will likely be unable to move an inch.
After all, they had just too many supplies on their vehicle...
After a moment's thought, Han Shuo knew that he had to find a way to solve these two problems and couldn't let them linger on the road for too long.
He began to speak.
"Brother Yao Nan, the military base we visited last time is only a few dozen kilometers away from here. Have you investigated the situation there recently?"
"We can go there to replenish our supplies first, and then set off according to the route we planned before."
After saying this, Cheng Shenghong's face showed an ugly expression.
"Brother Han, I had already thought of this matter, but it is indeed too dangerous over there now."
"Because we investigated when we first arrived, and there are alien species present at the military base."
"oh?"
Han Shuo let out a soft "hmm," as he had never heard Cheng Shenghong mention this before.
Then, he said it casually.
“If there are any aliens, we can just kill them. We couldn’t empty that military base twice. I feel that if we go there again, we can solve the fuel problem. I remember seeing fuel trucks there before.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Shenghong waved his hand with a wry smile.
"Brother Han, it's not that simple. Let me explain first."
"There's not just one mutant there now. Last time I glanced at it from afar, I saw at least three mutant figures, and there was even a female giant zombie..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the fat man next to him widened his eyes and exclaimed in surprise.
"Holy crap? A woman? A woman? A female giant zombie?"
Han Shuo also asked a question unexpectedly.
"Are you sure it's a female giant mutant?"
Xiao Zhao and Li Shurou also looked at Cheng Shenghong with puzzled expressions.
Even the wind, which had been sitting quietly to the side, slowly opened its eyes, frowned slightly, and felt a sense of curiosity.
...
At the same time, Cheng Shenghong looked at Han Shuo and the others with a puzzled expression, and muttered something to himself.
"Yeah, a female giant zombie. So what if she's a woman? Why are you all staring at me like that?"
At this moment, Han Shuo suppressed his shock and offered an explanation.
"Hey, Brother Yao Nan, the female giant zombie you mentioned is very likely a secondary mutation, because we've never seen this kind of giant mutant, especially a female one, before..."
"ah?"
Cheng Shenghong exclaimed in surprise; to be honest, he really didn't know about this.
Because this giant zombie was only the second one that this group of people had ever seen.
The first one was the one that Chief Steward Wang hunted down at the entrance of the passage when the underground research institute was unsealed, and the second one is this one.
He thought it was normal for such giant mutants to have both male and female forms.
After all, this group of people had not experienced the great battle against the Legion of Death.
They had never seen a scene where a dozen or so giant zombies appeared at once.
What they didn't know was that all the giant zombies that day were male.
