Chapter 398 Finding Help



After the initial shock, Li Sikai quickly regained his senses and looked at Yuan Ruoxi with a strange expression. "Honey, what are you doing?"

"Huh?" Yuan Ruoxi seemed startled and pulled her hand back behind her back, stammering, "No, nothing, I, I was just a little excited to see these sacks, to see what's inside them."

"You're not thinking of storing them in your spatial storage, are you?"

"How...how could that be? Am I that kind of person?" Yuan Ruoxi tried her best to deny it, but her guilty tone and shifty eyes all indicated that she was lying.

But he couldn't say it directly because he had no evidence. Moreover, no one could take out anything Yuan Ruoxi had put into her spatial storage unless she wanted it to.

He gave Sun Sainan a look, and she nodded before starting the search. She looked around and then randomly opened a few sacks.

"Boss, the sacks are full of rice and soybeans. They're free of insects and mold. The quality is excellent."

How many bags are there?

"I didn't count them all, there were layers upon layers, I estimate over 20,000 bags, and this area near the entrance..."

Needless to say, everyone knows what it means. With such a huge gap, who do you think is blind?

Seeing everyone staring at her, Yuan Ruoxi blushed deeply and insisted, "I... I was like this when I came in!"

Okay, whatever makes you happy...

Everyone felt disdain, but they could only pretend not to know.

"Alright, let's take stock first, then have Yuan Ruoxi put it into her spatial storage and send it to the supplies warehouse as soon as possible," Li Sikai decided.

"yes!"

Yuan Ruoxi was initially overjoyed to hear that no one was investigating the missing sack by the door, but when she heard that she was to be used as a mobile warehouse, she suddenly felt a little panicked.

"Weren't supplies always transported back by supply trucks before?"

"Well, Xiao Geng hasn't come back yet. Besides, your space is about the same size as this place, you can pack everything up in one trip, why bother waiting for someone to come back? It might cause some unexpected problems."

"But, but, I still have a lot of my own things in my space, and I can't fit all of them in here," Yuan Ruoxi stammered as she explained.

Li Sikai understood and asked with a smile, "So how much can you fit in?"

"About half?" Yuan Ruoxi said, using her consciousness to pile the sacks she had kept and the stolen goods together, looking at the remaining space.

"Alright then, half it is fine. At least it will save Xiao Geng a couple of trips and some money on gas."

Seeing that no one was pressing the issue, Yuan Ruoxi breathed a sigh of relief. Then, the guards began counting, while simultaneously having someone store the items in their spatial storage.

Only after most of the grain had been gone did Li Sikai lead his men out of the warehouse and sit outside waiting for Geng Zhixing.

Not long after, he had Sun Sainan stay with Yuan Ruoxi, while he and a few teammates wandered around the area, because he always felt that things were not so simple.

He wondered, if there was grain in this small warehouse, could there be hidden grain in other warehouses as well?

During this special period, he couldn't care less whether these things belonged to someone or not. Anything buried under the ruins was to be taken over by the Alliance and then used for the benefit of the people.

As expected, after searching for more than ten minutes, he finally found a "granary" sunken in the ground under the aluminum alloy plate. The wheat grains that filled the pit made his eyes gleam with greed. Without thinking twice, he shouted for someone to lift the steel plate and jumped into the wheat pit from above.

It was two or three meters high, and he just jumped in like that, burying most of his legs.

He happily grabbed a handful of wheat grains; they were so beautiful, golden yellow! He popped a few into his mouth, and wow, they were crunchy!

Haha, that's great! So much wheat, how long will it last?

Li Sikai's teammates were also extremely happy, and one after another they jumped in, shouting excitedly.

It wasn't until several minutes later that they calmed down and started staring at each other blankly. Damn it, they'd already jumped down, how were they going to get back up?

There was nothing they could do but shout for Sun Sainan, but when the others arrived, they were dumbfounded.

He's all alone, how is he supposed to get four grown men up here? Forget about not having tools, even if he did, there's no leverage for him to use!

"Hey, go over there and call Captain Li Gangtie over. Tell him to bring his men and get on the supply truck," Li Sikai said somewhat awkwardly.

With so much grain, he couldn't possibly carry it all back by himself; finding help was essential. Since that was the case, it was better to share the credit with a trusted comrade.

Sun Sainan nodded, told Yuan Ruoxi to guard the small warehouse over there, and then left.

Shen Yanming was digging for supplies with Li Gangtie and Zhou Qi when a burly man came running over in a hurry.

He frowned, wondering if things had taken a turn for the worse.

That's right. He saw a group of people heading towards Xichen Company when he was digging for supplies. However, since they weren't driving and were wearing their security guard uniforms, he didn't pay much attention.

As far as he was concerned, as long as the person who found the grain was a guard and had no intention of keeping it for himself, it didn't really matter whether it was Li Gangtie or not.

"Captain Li, may I ask which one of you is Captain Li Gangtie?" Sun Sainan shouted, wiping the sweat from her forehead.

"Yes, that's me. What can I do for you?" Li Gangtie put down his tools and looked at the newcomer with a puzzled expression.

"Hello, I'm Li Sikai's teammate. He sent me to find you." After greeting Li Gangtie, Sun Sainan pointed in the direction of Xichen Company and briefly explained that the grain had been discovered.

"When we first arrived here, Captain Li Sikai saw you, but he prioritized work and didn't bother you, thinking we'd get together when we got back."

"Skye's here? Isn't he in Beijing? Why is he in Suzhou?" Li Gangtie asked, quite surprised.

Zhou Qi stepped forward to interrupt, "Old Li, didn't this comrade say that grain has been discovered? Let's take the men there first, and we can talk on the way."

"Oh, right, right, food is the priority. Look how confused I am." Li Gangtie slapped his forehead, his smile vanished from his dark face, and shouted, "Brothers, stop what you're doing and grab your weapons to move to a new position!"

The onlookers had been buzzing with excitement ever since they heard the word "food." Lately, supplies had been running low, and they were so tired of eating thin porridge every day they didn't want to work anymore. Thankfully, heaven was on their side; judging by this display, there must be plenty of food!

So, one by one, they put on bright smiles and followed Sun Sainan toward their destination.

As they got closer, Li Gangtie still couldn't see Li Sikai. He asked, "Where's your captain? There's not a soul in sight. Are you kidding me?"

"No, no, our captain, he fell into the pit!"

"What? That guy actually fell into a pit?"

"Oh, to be precise, he was so excited that he jumped down on his own!"
