"Everyone, get some rest. We'll set off again first thing tomorrow morning!"
"The journey has been anything but peaceful, so it's best to take time to rest whenever you have a spare moment, because you won't have time when you're busy!"
After dinner, Lin Xue greeted everyone and then carried her son back to the room she had chosen.
After finishing his meal, the little one's head started to feel sleepy!
It has to be said that this child looks quite well-behaved and cute. If Lin Xue hadn't had the system's advance spoiler, she would never have imagined that this adorable and soft child would actually be such a lazybones.
It was precisely because the system had informed her in advance that Lin Xue always wanted to get the little guy moving.
However, she was quite tired today, so she didn't bother Han Mingxuan and simply put him on the bed. The mother and son fell asleep in a second.
Having finally gotten a good night's sleep, Lin Xue arrived at the RV early the next morning.
Tang Wenwan and Ye Lili had gotten up early to prepare breakfast for everyone, while Lin Yang and Han Lei were taking stock of the supplies in the convenience store, packing them up, and moving them into the RV.
Lin Zhenyuan and Han Junru were holding a map and discussing the next route with the radar system.
The others were either still asleep or wandering around the compound, hoping to find some supplies other than those from the convenience store.
"Dinner's ready!"
With Ye Lili's shout, everyone quickly returned to the front of the RV, each taking out their own eating utensils and waiting for the two hostesses to serve them food.
"Xiaoxue, last night I went for a walk around the neighborhood with Lao Han and found that there is a vegetable market right behind our traffic squadron."
"We took a look from afar, and it seemed like there were quite a few zombies inside, but there were also a few grain and oil shops!"
During dinner, Lin Zhenhua told Lin Xue about their discovery the previous night.
"Most of the zombies in the market behind are ordinary zombies; I didn't see any as big as the ones from yesterday!"
"We noticed that the doors of two grain and oil shops were tightly shut, and we don't know if there are any supplies inside!"
"However, the chances of finding supplies are greater, since doors and windows need to be in good condition!"
All this talk is about their goal: to get supplies from the two grain and oil shops in the market.
The doors of the neighboring houses had been vandalized, and the inside was a mess, so there was probably nothing left to eat.
However, those two grain and oil shops with their doors tightly closed might still have supplies inside that haven't been taken away by others.
After all, the vegetable market is a place with a large flow of people, and there are many zombies, so most people don't dare to go near it easily.
It's possible that the two intact gates were made of special materials, and they did have marks of being chopped, but unfortunately, none of them damaged the main structure of the gates.
"I'll go check after we finish eating. If there are any supplies, we'll try to get them back. After all, there are so many of us, and we still have such a long way to go!"
Lin Xue thought for a moment and decided that since she had encountered it, she should definitely go and see.
She focused most of her mental energy on the zombies and rarely paid attention to the situation in the shops.
Last night, she went to sleep after making sure there were no high-level zombies nearby. She was too tired after a long day to stay up all night.
"Why don't you come with Dad? It'll be better if there are more people around!"
Lin Zhenyuan was reluctant to let his daughter go on the risk alone, so he made the suggestion.
"No need, I'll go check the situation first."
"If there are really supplies inside, then I'll let you through!"
Lin Xue did not agree to let Lin Zhenyuan go with her, and also refused the requests of others to accompany her.
These people would be a hindrance if they went along; it would be better for them to go quietly and avoid causing a disturbance among the zombies.
After finishing her meal, Lin Xue went to the vegetable market behind the traffic police brigade.
She didn't take a detour, of course; instead, she opened the back window and jumped directly onto the roof of the house behind her.
Seeing her actions, everyone started searching the traffic police station and eventually found a few bed boards.
A passageway was built between the back window and the roof of the house behind it, and the curious men followed to watch what was happening behind them.
Once you cross the roof of that house, you'll reach the area of the vegetable market.
Lin Xue saw that the men behind her had caught up, but she didn't say anything more. Instead, she asked them to find a few more long planks.
Those heavy wooden planks, which were quite difficult for men to move in mid-air, were handled by Lin Xue like toys, and she made them obedient.
He aimed one end of the wooden plank at the window on the second floor of the market and rammed it through the already rotten window frame.
Unfortunately, the planks were too short to build a road.
Lin Xue jumped towards the window first and easily entered the house.
This place was on the second floor of one of the grain and oil shops. Lin Xue surveyed the area from the second floor all the way down to the first floor and found that there was indeed a lot of grain inside.
However, due to the passage of time, much of the grain had become infested with insects or rotted.
The bundles of noodles were riddled with holes by insects, turning them into honeycomb-like structures.
However, the various cooking oils placed in the oil drums were not affected by insects. Lin Xue then found a rope in the grain and oil shop and threw one end onto the roof of the opposite building.
Lin Zhenyuan immediately understood what his daughter meant and grabbed one end of the rope.
Lin Xue tied all the oil to a rope and lifted it to the window. The person above immediately understood and tightened the rope, raising the oil up.
After repeated handling, Lin Xue managed to send up everything edible and usable using this method.
After checking one last time, they broke through a wall and entered the shop next door.
Besides grains and oils, this store also sells a variety of instant noodle products.
Perhaps because it was placed on the second floor, it was not infested with insects. Lin Xue put all the instant noodles into a burlap sack and transported them out.
Most of the seasonings were unusable, but the table salt looked pretty good, so Lin Xue didn't let it go and found a way to get it out.
After the sweep, Lin Xue didn't take all the supplies, since she wouldn't want the food that had been infested with insects.
They found some long ropes near the window, tied them to the bed frame inside the room, and then threw them out the window.
In case any survivors happen to pass by in the future, the supplies here should be enough to keep them alive for a while.
Even these moldy and insect-infested grains were something the survivors fought over.
Lin Xue's refusal doesn't mean the survivors don't care!
It's important to understand that many survivors outside might not find food even after a whole day of hard work, and often return empty-handed.
Just like before, Biao Da and his group often returned empty-handed.
