With the help of Jiang Jingchao, a psychic in the team, they spent an hour accurately avoiding the large batches of zombies in the factory and soon arrived at the door of the cold storage.
"I found the key!"
After dealing with the zombies at the door of the cold storage, they were lucky enough to find the key.
The key to the cold storage was hanging on the body of the security guard lying outside, which saved them a lot of time. Otherwise, they would have to find a way to pry open the lock of the cold storage to get in, and it would take who knows how long it would take.
After opening the cold storage door, a gust of cold air hit my face.
Gu Yicheng left most of the team to guard the door to prevent the zombies from approaching here or entering the cold storage and blocking them inside and unable to get out.
As for the remaining few people, they all followed him in. Ruan Ning, who had space, was naturally among them.
Even though there has been a power outage in the city these days, the temperature here is still below zero degrees Celsius because the cold storage has good insulation. After entering the door, Ruan Ning couldn't help shivering and moved closer to the heat source next to him, that is, Gu Yichen.
"Very cold?" Gu Yicheng noticed her movements, frowned, and said softly: "Ningning, you can actually go out and accompany the others. I can collect the supplies here by myself."
Although he had stored a lot of supplies in his space before the end of the world, fortunately the original area of the space was large enough, and it was upgraded once before, leaving a lot of space. So he should be able to store everything in the cold storage by himself.
Ruan Ning shook her head, "It's not that cold. I can hold on." The temperature outside was dropping rapidly, but it wasn't much lower in here than outside. She just felt a little uncomfortable coming in suddenly, but she felt much better after staying inside for a while.
Ruan Ning saw that he was still looking at her, his eyes revealing a disapproving emotion. Suddenly, a coat appeared in her hand, and she put it on herself, "Look, brother, this way you won't be cold."
Seeing this, Gu Yicheng's brows relaxed a little, and he did not ask her to leave the cold storage.
After Ruan Ning put on an extra coat, she also asked the other people who came in if they were cold. She had several blankets in her room and could give them to them if they were cold.
However, apart from Ruan Ning who was born with a weak constitution and could not adapt to the temperature of the cold storage for a while, the other grown men did not feel particularly uncomfortable and did not ask for her blanket.
They found a delivery note on the wall near the door. It was the night when the apocalypse broke out, and this large batch of goods had not yet been shipped out and had to be stranded here.
But this is also a good deal for them.
There are a lot of goods in the cold storage. Seeing so many supplies in front of him, Ruan Ning was delighted and surprised. His hamster nature broke out and he wanted to empty out the place along with the shelves and the goods.
It's not that Ruan Ning is selfish and doesn't want to leave some for other survivors, but because the cold storage is out of power now. After someone opens it once, most of the cold air inside will be released. When they leave, the temperature here will rise quickly, and it will definitely not be able to maintain the current temperature. Even if they want to leave some supplies for those who come later, maybe before those people come, everything inside will be spoiled. It's better to take everything away, so that nothing will be wasted.
Ruan Ning's space is limited, and low-value items cannot be put in, only high-value items can be put in. But as long as these items can be tied together with something and counted as one object, and the total value of the items is high enough, they can be put in.
This was the method Ruan Ning discovered later. Although the space was still restricted, it was not as troublesome as she had initially thought. A rope could be used to tie all the goods together or the shelves could be put away together, and they would all be counted as one thing in the space.
As the temperature rose, although the temperature here was still below zero, many of the supplies had gradually rotted and became inedible. However, after they discarded the unusable supplies, the remaining ones were still a considerable amount.
Ruan Ning and Gu Yicheng worked together to put the supplies inside into the space.
All of a sudden, half of the cold storage was empty.
This visit to the cold storage was very fruitful, and everyone had smiles on their faces. After the apocalypse, more supplies means living longer. Who doesn't want more food?
Things were going more smoothly than they had imagined. It was still early and there were still several hours before dark.
Gu Yicheng had no plan to visit other cold storages, so he led his team straight to the factory gate.
However, before leaving the gate, they met the Dragon and Tiger Squad again.
"Your team has explored the eastern area so quickly!" A tall man with a scar on his face asked in surprise as he looked at the Dawn Team heading towards the gate.
He was one of the nine people who followed the leader of the Dragon Tiger Squad, Zeng Yi. He was assigned to guard the gate and notify other team members if there was any situation.
"What's wrong? What happened?" Gan Lan wanted to go back to the car to get something. When he heard the noise, he quickly turned the corner and happened to see Gu Yichen and his group standing next to the team members.
"Captain Gan, this is the team that will take on this factory mission with us. They have already explored the area to the east and are preparing to leave the factory."
After Gan Lan recognized the members of the Dawn Team, her body stiffened for a moment. She never thought that she would meet this team again here.
The first thing she thought after seeing them was that it was fortunate that Wu Yinchuan had not recovered from the beating and was left in the car by the captain to rest. Otherwise, if he saw this team again, he would not be able to get over it and would cause trouble again.
Gan Lan didn't want to have to clean up the mess again for that stupid guy Wu Yinchuan.
However, without Wu Yinchuan, Gan Lan didn't want to have any contact with this group of people anymore. She was planning to pretend she didn't see them and let them leave quickly, when suddenly she discovered someone.
"Hello, have we met somewhere before?" Gan Lan saw the girl next to the powerful man. She was wearing a mask and had a petite figure. The more he looked at her, the more familiar she looked.
Cabbage has a good memory and she quickly remembered that the girl in front of her was the one who agreed to exchange crystal cores with her at the market.
"Is it really you?" Although Gan Lan and Ruan Ning were only strangers who had met twice, if it weren't for her mutant crystal core that allowed her to successfully upgrade, she might have difficulty surviving alone now, let alone going back to save her cousin and come with her to Base No. 3 in City B to join the Dragon and Tiger Squad.
Kale always felt that he was taking advantage of her by exchanging his ordinary crystal core for her mutant crystal core.
Gu Yicheng narrowed his eyes and asked, "Ningning, do you know each other?"
"Back in S City, I met her at the safe zone market and exchanged crystal cores with her once." Ruan Ning explained. She had explained the matter of experimenting with healing abilities a long time ago, so she was not afraid that the male protagonist would know that she had exchanged crystal cores with this person.
Actually, Gan Lan didn't have much to say to Ruan Ning, but she felt more at ease knowing that the girl who had given her the mutant crystal core was fine, had joined a strong team, and was doing well.
"Okay, there's nothing to do here. Let them go." Cabbage said to the scarred man on the side.
The scarred man hesitated for a moment: "But the captain said that he would wait until the two teams finished their exploration and then integrate the intelligence and report it to the base. They are leaving now..."
"That's nothing. It's the same if we report back to the base." Gan Lan didn't know what happened at the factory gate before they arrived. She thought the team asked to go to the east to explore, because she didn't think the team would listen to their arrangements.
Cabbage has a good reputation in the team. After hearing what she said, the scarred man said nothing more.
