Chapter 166 April 1st
Day 12 of the Highway Survival Game!
To this end, she even made a lot more storage boxes to hold these supplies. Unfortunately, compared to this harvest, these storage boxes were much smaller and could not hold many things, or they would be full after holding only a little bit.
This made her hopeful that the next treasure chest she obtained would contain blueprints for making larger storage boxes or stash boxes, making it easier for her to store her things.
However, she also discovered some pleasant surprises while sorting through the supplies. It turned out that the cardboard boxes, plastic boxes, and other containers that were originally used to store the supplies could also be broken down by touching them with a crowbar.
Plastic boxes decompose to produce basic production material – plastic, but paperboard decomposes to produce a large amount of basic production material – pulp.
She speculated that this pulp could be used to produce various paper products in the future, and perhaps in the future, she could even manufacture high-quality toilet paper, wet wipes, sanitary napkins, and other daily necessities herself using a carrier!
When selling those supplies in the future, these odds and ends should be able to make a lot of money, right? I just don't know how good the quality of the game's products will be. Will there be any of the problems with unscrupulous merchants exposed on Earth, such as shortchanging, false reporting, unclean raw materials, and inadequate disinfection?
If only we could use some advanced technology to obtain paper products that we could use with peace of mind, Feng Xingshou thought. This thought immediately brought to mind the unpleasant experiences he'd had with these everyday hygiene products over the past two years…
Perhaps Feng Xingshou's luck was really as good as Hagiwara and Matsuda said. These things were originally just her personal thoughts, and she hadn't even told the three of them. But after the three of them calculated the route and drove to the new coordinates in the afternoon...
She opened the treasure chest from the nighttime instance that night and surprisingly obtained the blueprints for manufacturing large storage boxes that could hold half a cubic meter of items, soft bath towels, soft men's underwear, soft women's underwear, soft tissues, and extra-long silk sanitary napkins.
Feng Xingshou felt a little embarrassed to receive these blueprints in front of several handsome adult men, but she was secretly delighted. Great! She no longer had to worry about personal hygiene products or ask her friends to help her buy underwear!
Unfortunately, the other five production blueprints were fine. She had enough materials to produce storage boxes and underwear, bath towels, and toilet paper for several people. She also had some cotton and pulp. If that wasn't enough, she could continue to break down the cardboard and quilts collected from the ship.
The production materials for silk sanitary napkins require three things: silk, cotton, and pulp. She has cotton and pulp, but she hasn't collected any silk yet. She hasn't been able to extract silk from any of the various fabrics she collected from the ship...
So, after opening the treasure chests and having breakfast together the morning after arriving at their destination, they busied themselves with sorting out the loot from yesterday's dungeon and transferring it to those new, larger storage boxes, breaking down useless items into basic materials.
During this period, various vehicle parts will also be produced and put on the market for sale to other survivors. Of course, the parts they bought with the points they earned yesterday for their own vehicle were upgraded and consumed after the schedule was agreed upon yesterday afternoon, further improving the vehicle's performance.
They were busy until after 10 o'clock before finally coming to an end. In order to have enough energy to deal with today's dungeon, they made a special plan to rest up, have lunch first, and then enter the dungeon.
After arriving at this time, they were busy preparing lunch. After eating and drinking their fill, they chatted and rested for half an hour in the small living room inside the car. As a result, Feng Xingshou's driving lessons made no progress this morning, and the dungeon was opened as usual.
Seeing that Officers Hagiwara, Matsuda, and Morofushi all nodded to her, the experienced Kaze-chan immediately and skillfully moved the three of them into her spacious backpack, which had been tidied up, before stepping into the dungeon entrance.
After entering and confirming there was no immediate danger nearby, they released the three of them...
.
"Is this the fourth 7 a.m. on April 1st, 2015?"
"It looks like a pointed carriage, but why does the surrounding area have a strangely nostalgic feel to it?"
"Still using trains in 2015? Haven't they all been replaced with high-speed rail?"
Upon appearing in the real world, the three police officers immediately and skillfully surveyed their surroundings to figure out the location of this instance, what the impending doom was, and other information. However, after looking at the information, they were all dumbfounded.
Because their location in this instance is surprisingly obvious just by looking at the window next to them, it can be seen that they are on a means of transportation with carriages. Judging from the length of the carriage and the visible railway tracks outside the window, they should be on a rather old train.
However, the interior of this train is exceptionally luxurious, implying a nostalgic, understated luxury. It looks old-fashioned, but the interior alone should be much more expensive than the interior of most Shinkansen carriages.
However, the three were well-trained, and after the initial surprise, they worked together seamlessly without saying a word.
Hagiwara turned his head to carefully observe the road conditions outside the car through the window, Matsuda searched around the car for any dangerous items, and Morofushi Kagemitsu observed the car, even carefully opening the car door to look outside...
A few minutes later, the three of them said in unison, "This should be the Suzuki Express, which only runs once a year. It looks like they are preparing to depart."
"This parking spot should be at Tokyo Station! But it's not usually this month, so why is it departing this year?"
"No dangerous goods were found. No bombs, no flammable or explosive materials. It seems the danger of destruction isn't in this carriage." Matsuda said, then looked at his childhood friend and asked, "Kaze-chan! Did you see the exit or boundary of this carriage?"
"I didn't see the exit of the dungeon, but there is a boundary. I tried to open the car window and stick my hand out, but my hand was blocked in the original position of the car window glass. I guess the car compartment is the boundary."
It's just overlapping with the carriage, so you won't notice it unless you try to touch it. While Hagiwara and the others were busy, Kazesei no Kami wasn't idle either. He had already tried it out according to his usual practice in other dungeons.
"Fū-chan said..." Hagiwara relayed Fuusei's words to Matsuda and Morofushi, then continued, "It seems the crisis of destruction is elsewhere. We may need to check all the other carriages."
“The Suzuki Express has quite a few carriages, and each carriage has several rooms. We also have to avoid being seen by the passengers. Tsk! It seems like we’ll have a lot of work to do this time. Will an hour be enough?” Matsuda said, his crescent-shaped eyes already glancing at Morofushi Kagemitsu.
.
Understanding his meaning, Morofushi Kagemitsu looked helpless, but the expectation in his eyes was clearly visible. He raised his hand and said, feigning helplessness, "Alright! I'll contact Zero right away."
"Haha...that's more like it! By the way, let him also check the problem of the Suzuki Express's departure time being incorrect this year, as well as what time it departs today, and whether there are any important people on board that could cause danger, etc."
"If there's still time before departure, it would be best to come and help. I can also ask him to bring the phones he prepared. I wonder how many of these phones still work after a year?" Matsuda said, taking out a phone he had picked out from the ones he had collected in Hagiwara and handing it to Morofushi.
Just as Morofushi took the phone and dialed a number, Kazesei no Kami whispered to Hagiwara, "Hagiwara, do you want to call my brother? Didn't you guys say at dinner last night that you were short of medicine?"
Should we try to replenish our supplies? Maybe we can contact him later and ask him to send some ammunition. He's practically a walking arsenal; he's bound to have extra guns and bullets!
"Hmm! You're right, I'll contact him too." Hagiwara started off serious, but as soon as he dialed Gin's number, he added, "Since we're here, we should at least greet my future brother-in-law. He'll definitely be angry when he finds out!"
"You..." Feng Xingshou hadn't even finished yelling "Shut up!" when he heard his older brother's chilling, murderous voice rang out: "Hmph... You think you know me?!"
"Hello! Future Nissan, it's only been a short time since we said goodbye, but it must have been almost a year for you guys, right? How have you been lately?" Unfazed, or rather, a seasoned socialite, Hagiwara wasn't intimidated by the menacing voice at all, and chatted with the other person as if they were old friends.
Meanwhile, Morofushi, who had just made the call, saw this and, upon hearing Hagiwara's words, instantly switched to acting: "Hi! Long time no see, Bourbon!"
"..." Upon seeing the unfamiliar caller ID and hearing that long-lost Scottish voice as soon as he answered, Bourbon was slightly taken aback. He quickly realized what was happening and immediately responded in his signature Bourbon-esque manner: "...Scotland, you actually called me on your own initiative?"
"Heh... so this way I can hear your displeasure, but I can't kill you!" Scotland's unhurried voice was full of infuriating words. Of course, only a true member of the organization would feel angry.
Matsuda stood in the middle of the carriage, glancing at his childhood friend on the left, who was talking to his future brother-in-law, and then at Jing Danna on the right, who was putting on an acting show with his best friend. He couldn't help but chuckle, probably trying to suppress his laughter to avoid Gin noticing anything amiss. He was having a hard time holding it in, and his shoulders were even trembling.
"Stop with the overly familiar pleasantries... Just get to the point." Gin, on the other end of the line, was amused by this guy who was calling him "brother" so familiarly. He had just said that when he heard the faint sound of Scotland taunting Bourbon coming from the other end of the phone.
o(￣ヘ￣o＃) Gin himself may not like Bourbon’s mystical style, but he despises traitors and rats even more, even though he has already secretly made preparations to switch sides.
He still threatened the Scottish man who dared to provoke Bourbon and indirectly challenge him, saying, "Hmph! Keep that police rat if he's useful, but make him behave himself, or I won't hesitate to send him on his way!"
