After leaving the prison island, Xiao Jin discovered that the situation outside was far more serious than she had imagined.
Heading east, Xiao Jin didn't rush to meet up with Cheng Ce first. Instead, he went to the coal yard where he had previously worked, intending to collect the coal.
Perhaps due to the presence of snow beasts on the road, many people are afraid to go out. Coal, such an important fuel, is surprisingly not being coveted by anyone.
Perhaps some people have considered it, but due to the distance and the fact that large convoys would attract more snow beasts, they had to give up.
Xiao Jin put away the coal and arrived at the place he had agreed to meet Cheng Ce an hour later.
"You've arrived!" Cheng Ce greeted him with a smile.
Seeing his cheeks red from the cold, Xiao Jin nodded: "How's the supplies coming along?"
Cheng Ce: "Not bad. Most people are afraid of snow beasts, and since the apocalypse has just begun, they don't lack rice, flour, or cooking oil at home. The car is already full."
Are there any casualties?
"There are some minor injuries, but nothing serious. We have guns in our hands. As long as we're not surrounded by hundreds of snow beasts, we can easily handle it."
Xiao Jin: "Cough cough cough~" There's no need to heal yourself like this.
Then, Xiao Jin asked a question that concerned her most: "How many people are planning to seek refuge with you in a refuge?"
At this point, Cheng Ce's expression suddenly turned serious.
"There are many!"
He led Xiao Jin to the rear of the convoy.
The rest area that Cheng Ce found was inside a school. At this moment, there were more than twenty large trucks parked on the playground, all of which were full of supplies.
In addition to the truck, there were many private cars and buses around it.
It was nearing noon, and the convoy began using the school cafeteria to cook. All the survivors, including the convoy members, were in the cafeteria.
Cheng Ce pointed inside: "There are a total of fifty-three people with me this time, which is basically four-fifths of the armed forces of the shelter. I also brought a large number of firearms."
Many people thought we were an official rescue team and wanted to come with us. I explained this later, but quite a few people still wanted to go to the shelter.
Xiao Jin nodded, that was normal.
"Finally, five hundred people followed. I don't plan to take any more than that. First, it will attract more snow beasts, and second, if anything unexpected happens, I'm afraid my men won't be able to control them."
Cheng Ce's concerns were not unfounded.
"It shouldn't be too difficult, right?" Xiao Jin asked.
Cheng Ce smiled contemptuously: "Even if he does, he'll have to lie down obediently for me."
"But for those who can't be taken away, I told them the address of the shelter, and if they're willing, they'll find it themselves."
Xiao Jin: "I'm afraid some people won't dare."
"Then there's nothing I can do!" Cheng Ce waved his hand: "There will only be more snow beasts in the future. If they don't try to come out, they won't be able to come out later."
Xiao Jin then put all the supplies that Cheng Ce had found that morning into her spatial storage.
The guards were all old men who followed Jian Yiqiu. Xiao Jin didn't hide anything from them when she collected the supplies. So what if they saw it? They'd find out sooner or later anyway.
When Cheng Ce went to put supplies into the shelter warehouse, he was present. After the initial shock, he quickly accepted it.
After all, injections that can regenerate severed limbs have already appeared, so what's a little storage space?
Upon learning that Xiao Jin would help transport supplies, Cheng Ce was overjoyed. With such a "bug" in his head, he could carry so many more supplies!
Xiao Jin took all the supplies off the truck, leaving it completely empty.
The people guarding the supplies looked bewildered, exchanging bewildered glances.
Well! The captain truly lives up to his title; he didn't even seem surprised by this unbelievable scene!
Cheng Ce took out a piece of paper with a drawing on it and handed it to Xiao Jin: "The car is full, and some supplies can't be taken away, so I wrote them down."
These places all have large stockpiles of supplies; you should go there if you have the time.
Xiao Jin took the blueprints and pondered for a while: "How long do you plan to make repairs here?"
"About half an hour." Cheng Ce checked his watch. "After that, I'll head east along Beiyu Road. There are two large shopping malls there, and I plan to collect supplies there."
Also, the First Municipal Hospital is there. Before I left, Brother Jian told me to collect as many medicines and medical devices as possible to take back with me.
If possible, it would be even better if we could bring back a few doctors.
In the apocalypse, food, clothing, shelter, and transportation are problems, but they are also easy to solve. However, getting sick is a different story.
It's so cold outside; you can't get away with a minor headache or fever without medicine. Besides, everyone has to fight snow beasts every day, so medicine for treating external injuries is very scarce.
The First People's Hospital in the city center is the best tertiary hospital among the surrounding provinces and cities.
Xiao Jin knew that Cheng Ce meant it by asking her to help transport the equipment.
"I understand!" Xiao Jin said, "I'll go collect the supplies from these places first, and then I'll come to the First Municipal Hospital to find you."
"Okay, thank you!"
After leaving school, Xiao Jin compared the map in her mind and confirmed the location on the drawing.
There are three locations in total: the warehouse of the underground supermarket in the shopping mall, the lumber yard filled with planks, and a police station.
Cheng Ce highlighted the police station section on the paper.
Besides the guns and ammunition he had looted, the convoy also carried some supplies that were not very convenient to transport, such as liquor and gasoline.
Especially gasoline.
One of Cheng Ce's men had incredibly sharp eyesight; he spotted an oil tanker covered in snow while they were driving.
However, due to the road conditions, the tanker truck was too bulky and difficult to carry if they were trying to escape.
Finally, having no other choice, Cheng Ce drove the car to the nearest location, disguised it, and waited for Xiao Jin to come and collect it.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Jin's lips twitched violently.
They really think of her as some kind of otherworldly pocket? A tanker truck? Fang Ce knows how much space those things take up.
Having just collected so much coal, there's still about half the space left. If the tanker truck is put inside, Xiao Jin has no idea how much other supplies can be collected.
"Never mind, let's go to the police station first."
Gasoline is too conspicuous, and it's a non-renewable resource. If someone finds it and drives it away, we're doomed.
Therefore, Xiao Jin decided to go to the police station first. Besides, they had guns and ammunition there, so taking them sooner would put her at ease. As for the other supplies, she could always make another trip later!
However, as he ran, Xiao Jin thought to himself: It seems that the country has really fallen, and people can even freely enter and leave the police station.
About ten minutes later, Xiao Jin arrived in front of the police station.
However, before she could go inside, Xiao Jin discovered fresh tire tracks outside.
"Huh? Someone actually dares to come out?"
Because it was snowing heavily outside, the marks on the ground were very clear, and the tire tracks next to them, which were almost completely covered by snow, were obviously made by Cheng Ce that morning.
Judging from the thickness of the snow on the fresh marks, Xiao Jin estimated that the person who arrived was only about five minutes earlier than him!
Xiao Jin stepped into the police station.
"I hope what Cheng Ce hid is still there."
