"I have the same idea." Su Han was calm and spoke slowly, leaning back, "The system prompts that there are fifty white supply boxes scattered around the city. I plan to search for them."
Although her storage box was already full, she had received a set meal of black bread and milk this morning, and her backpack also had some items in it, but she had to pretend that she was eager to find supplies, otherwise her temporary teammates would notice something was wrong.
"Boom——" a light sound followed.
Yu Baowen was quite surprised and couldn't help wondering, "Is there a secret door?" It sounded a bit like the sound of a heavy object hitting the door.
Su Han turned around and looked carefully. Soon she found that there was an iron shelf in the corner of the shop, which was filled with sundries. It looked heavy, dirty and useless.
Just now she leaned over unconsciously and hit the shelf, so there was a collision sound.
"Come over and give me a hand." Su Han greeted casually.
Yu Baowen came over to help.
The two men moved the debris on the iron rack and found that there was indeed a secret door behind the rack! However, the door handle was completely blocked by the debris, so it was not noticeable at all.
"We've been trapped in the war for a year and our supplies have been exhausted. But if there is a secret door that has never been discovered, there should be some good things in it, right?" Su Han muttered to himself as he walked to open the door.
But when I turned the knob, the door wouldn't open.
"I need a key." Yu Baowen just showed a distressed look when he saw his temporary teammate took out a tool, went around the door handle, and drew an arc. Then, the broken wooden door opened automatically.
Yu Baowen, "..."
Unexpectedly, this guy is quite brutal.
Su Han walked into the small room and saw a square white foam box lying quietly on the sofa, fixed with tape. Almost instantly, she remembered the white supply box mentioned by the system.
"I thought the supply boxes were airdropped by the system, drifting with the wind and randomly landing in some corner, isn't that the case?" Su Han lowered his head in thought, "Could it be that they were randomly refreshed in some corner of the dungeon?"
"It could also be that the system NPC prepared it. But it was never used, and the original owner NPC died, so the things were left in the room." Yu Baowen said casually, "Anyway, no matter what the background setting is, it's good to get the supplies."
"That's right." Su Han no longer hesitated, cut the tape with a dagger and opened the supply box.
In the box, there are 5 canned meats, 5 soaps, 5 mineral waters, 1 yarn water filter, 2 lighters, and 2 household chlorine liquid bleach.
Yu Baowen frowned and whispered to herself, "Forget about the lighter, but why is there household bleach in it?" No matter how she thought about it, she didn't understand what the bleach was used for.
Su Han's eyes flickered, and he immediately realized that drinking water could be purified using ordinary household bleach!
Bleach generally contains 3% to 6% sodium hypochlorite, which can disinfect through oxidation reaction. Just put the bleach in the water and let it stand for at least 12 hours until the oxidation reaction is over, then you can drink it normally.
In other words, mineral water is for drinking directly, while water filters and bleach are precious resources for making clean drinking water!
Su Han pondered for a moment and said slowly, "There are 20 items in total, half for each of us."
Yu Baowen was quite surprised, "But I couldn't help much..."
This person discovered the secret door and opened the door. Even if all the items belonged to him, she had nothing to say.
Su Han said earnestly, "The game is getting harder and harder, I need help. For me, you being alive is more useful than these supplies."
At the same time, I was thinking, how is she going to carry it? The backpack is almost full...
Yu Baowen took a deep look at his temporary teammate, his eyes gradually became kinder, and his hostility also dissipated a lot, "Thank you."
"You're welcome." Su Han said as he put soap, a gauze water filter, a lighter and household chlorine liquid bleach into his backpack.
Yu Baowen knew that this person knew that she was short of food, so he deliberately gave away food and water. So she unconsciously let down her guard.
She always remembered the fact that she had been helped in the past, but she only wanted to repay the favor, not her life, so she was careful in everything she did.
However, words can be false, but actions cannot be false. Now that he found that Su Han was as kind as ever, Yu Baowen immediately put away his thorns and took the initiative to say, "I have a lot of fuel on me, just let me know if you need it."
"Okay." Su Han agreed with a smile.
There were no other useful items in the shop, so the two turned around and left.
As they walked, Yu Baowen suggested, "How about we find a safe place as a base first, and then spread out to search the surrounding areas?"
"Well. But the base should be best located near a lake, sparsely populated, and in a hidden geographical location..." Su Han fell into deep thought.
Yu Baowen didn't disturb her, but just looked around, keeping alert at all times. Suddenly, her eyes froze, and she quickly pulled her friend's sleeve, then pointed in a certain direction.
Su Han looked over and saw a man and a woman walking not far away. The man was carrying a shoulder pole and two buckets of water, while the woman was exploring the way ahead to check if it was safe.
Su Han was somewhat speechless. In order to avoid being targeted again, she and Yu Baowen deliberately chose a secluded path to walk. Unexpectedly, the other party seemed to think the same, so the two groups of people met.
Seeing that the other party had discovered the presence of two of them, a look of fear flashed in their eyes. Su Han touched his nose and wanted to say, they are also afraid of being robbed and encountering bad guys, okay?
The four of them looked at each other in silence for a long time.
Finally, the only man took prompt action, put down his pole, and said quickly, "This is the water I fetched from the lake in the park. If you want it, take it, but don't hurt anyone. Otherwise, we are not easy to bully!"
Although he is a man, the world today can no longer simply use gender to distinguish strength. The other party is a girl, and she is still alive today, that is a skill! It must not be underestimated!
"We're just passing by." Su Han and the other person deliberately made a circle, then quickened their pace and left.
The man was stunned. They didn't do anything and just left?
The woman let out a long breath and said thankfully, "Luckily I met a good person. Let's go home quickly."
The man said nothing, picked up the carrying pole again, and walked back step by step.
**
Continuing forward, a row of old residential houses appeared in front of Su Han.
It was a row of brick houses, the highest of which was only two stories high, with grass in front and a garden behind. There were two entrances and exits, the front door and the back door.
"Let's stay here?" Su Han asked his friends for their opinions. "There are two doors, which will be very convenient for escaping. Besides, this place is very secluded, and we didn't meet anyone along the way."
Yu Baowen stared intently for a long time and suddenly said, "There are people living in the house next door."
"Huh?" Su Han was a little surprised.
Yu Baowen explained, "Look at the gardens of other houses. They are all weeds, right? Only that family grew food in their garden. Tomatoes, peas, cabbage, all easy-to-grow varieties."
"Some of them should also be food, but I can't recognize them."
Su Han stared at them for a long time, and finally gave up helplessly - she didn't recognize any of those plants...
"Even if there are people next to me, I still want to stay here." After thinking for a long time, Su Han finally said, "There are railings around the house, which can effectively prevent enemy invasion. The other two doors will be very convenient when escaping."
"But if you don't want to, I won't force you. We agreed at the beginning that if we can't get along, we'll just break up and go our separate ways."
Yu Baowen thought to herself that if she left alone, the outside world would be much more dangerous than this. She shook her head and said softly, "It's just a reminder. Just stay here for now. Where in the dungeon is there an absolutely safe place? It's already good enough to be slightly better than other places."
After a brief pause, she asked, "Have you heard of the triple safety rule?"
Su Han pushed the door open and answered, "I know. It means that for important survival supplies, we must prepare three different supply sources. In this way, even if one supply source is cut off due to an accident, we will not be in immediate danger."
"That's right." Yu Baowen said seriously, "So stay here first, and then find other safe places to live. If we are attacked and have to abandon this house, we can move to other places calmly."
Su Han paused, feeling inexplicably complicated. Preparing more than three safe houses? The workload is a bit large. This girl is too alert!
But on the surface, she said calmly, "It's up to you."
The two of them went into the house together.
Because the house had been uninhabited for a long time, it was full of dust.
After walking around, Su Han found that all the wooden furniture in the house was gone. There were some unused pieces of wood piled up on one side, but not many.
"It looks very much like someone once took refuge in the room, but ultimately failed to hold on," Yu Baowen concluded after careful analysis.
"After all, the war lasted for a year." Su Han felt very emotional.
What does it mean to be trapped in a war? It means that everyone can only stay in this city, cut off all contact with the outside world, and continue to consume inventory.
In such a difficult and harsh living environment, most people could not survive. Only a very small number of people who prepared in advance and had strong survival abilities could survive.
Shaking his head, Su Han called Yu Baowen to come over to help. The two of them cleaned the house together, barely making it look like a place for people to live.
At lunchtime, Su Han ate black bread and candy and drank milk. Yu Baowen ate a box of canned meat, drank a bottle of mineral water, and took the initiative to ask his friends, "Do you want some canned food?"
"No need." Su Han declined. If she didn't use up the inventory quickly and make more room, she felt that she would be exposed sooner or later.
After dinner, Yu Baowen insisted on finding an alternative safe place to stay, so he went out alone.
Su Han continued to clean the house and stood on the second floor, carefully observing the movements around him.
Who would have thought that just a few hours later, a handwritten wooden board suddenly appeared in front of the door of the room that was thought to be occupied. On it were several large crooked characters, "There is a patient with an infectious disease inside, please do not approach."
Su Han, "..."
Although she knew that the other party was most likely lying to avoid danger, she had to admit that when she saw the words "infectious disease", she really had no intention of getting close to him.
The author has something to say: In order to write this article, I have looked up a lot of information. After all, the author has not experienced it personally. Some of the information comes from the victims' own accounts of the war, and some comes from books.

The author of the manuscript (insistently): I am not fat! If you don’t believe me, feel it!
Reader (pinching his waist, confident): He's obviously fat, so I can kill him and eat him.
The author of the manuscript (spurting out a mouthful of blood): Liar, paper! You should use your conscience when you speak! !
The reader gave a sharp smile.
Author: We are still in love and hate today (☆_☆)
