After collecting their belongings, the two quietly left the armory, and Pei Nansheng led Zuo Ling into another side road.
Zuo Ling has a poor sense of direction, but when she came in, she deliberately memorized the shape of the cave entrance and found that she was not going back the way she came.
Having acquired an armory from the Ding family, Zuo Ling was very excited and didn't feel tired at all, following Pei Nansheng with light steps.
When you're in a good mood, your emotional intelligence is high. Take a few quick steps, hand Pei Nan a few hand warmers, and give him a big smile.
Looking down at the hand warmer, then at Zuo Ling, Pei Nansheng still remembered how Zuo Ling had rolled her eyes at him several times.
Is this...forgetting the past grudge? A warm feeling welled up inside me, and I casually stuffed the hand warmer into my pocket.
After walking for more than half an hour, they came to another iron gate. Pei Nan opened the gate as if she knew the way well.
After walking for a few minutes, Pei Nansheng, as usual, told Zuo Ling to wait where she was.
After Pei Nansheng finished dealing with the surveillance footage, Zuo Ling discovered that they had arrived at a grain storage warehouse.
After tossing and turning for most of the night, Zuo Ling's spatial awareness was poor, and she was dizzy and disoriented, unable to tell whether she had been here in her previous life or not.
They mechanically collected supplies: rice, flour, cooking oil, various frozen meats and fish, seafood, canned goods, dried vegetables, noodles, beans, salt, sugar, sweet potatoes, cabbage, dried fruit, alcoholic beverages, freeze-dried foods, milk powder, honey, preserved meats, pickled vegetables, various seasonings, and groceries...
There were also tens of thousands of unhulled wheat, millet, and rice grains stored in large stainless steel barrels, each nearly 2 meters high and 1 meter in diameter.
The goods were plentiful, with almost everything except for perishable vegetables and fruits, more than four or five times the amount of goods that Zuo Ling had received from the two supermarkets.
The Ding family has more than one food storage warehouse, but losing such a large amount of supplies will keep them in a bad mood for a while.
After happily collecting the supplies, they returned the way they came and sealed the entrance to the cave.
We hadn't gone far when the mountain started shaking.
After a whole night of tossing and turning, Zuo Ling's legs were weak and she was too exhausted to think. Being by Pei Nansheng's side, she naturally developed a sense of dependence and didn't realize it for a moment.
Pei Nansheng said with a grim face, "Quickly, the escape pod."
"Ah..." Zuo Ling was bewildered.
The mountain shook again, and Zuo Ling's mind cleared up a bit. She waved her hand and moved the escape pod out, but it wasn't one of the two they had gotten from the cave.
It wasn't that Zuo Ling was being shrewd; it was that the Ding family's life pod hadn't been inspected, and she was worried.
Without asking Zuo Ling what had happened, Pei Nansheng opened the cabin door, pushed Zuo Ling inside, and then followed. The two sat down and fastened their seatbelts.
A thunderous roar, and lightning in the polar night illuminated the entire earth.
The snow-covered mountains suddenly came to life, their white cloak brushed away to reveal their dark, rugged slopes.
Lightning paints across the dark sky, creating ever-changing human faces, undulating mountains, birds with broken wings, fish leaping into the air... It playfully and ostentatiously flaunts its painting skills.
Seemingly dissatisfied with the lack of applause, he waved his crayon, angrily drawing out deafening, eye-piercing streaks of light.
The earth sensed the lightning's emotion and swayed in response.
The life pod spun and bounced haphazardly among the mountains, making Zuo Ling dizzy.
The life pod had a cushioning device, but the impact from the high drop was very uncomfortable. Zuo Ling felt nauseous several times, so she took out a garbage bag to keep in case she vomited everywhere, and also stuffed one into Pei Nansheng's hand.
Years of high-intensity training have given Pei Nansheng a level of perseverance, physical strength, and endurance far superior to that of ordinary people. However, even he cannot escape the churning and nausea in his stomach.
Surrounded by towering mountains and steep cliffs, Zuo Ling felt the life pod being repeatedly thrown up, slammed down, then thrown up again, then slammed down again, with violent impacts and tumbling...
In just seven or eight minutes, I had lost track of where I was.
Thinking back to how they had just been in the narrow cave, they couldn't help but feel a chill.
I wonder what happened to that cave. If there was a landslide, the theft of the warehouse will be buried.
On second thought, Sichuan is prone to earthquakes, and the Ding family must have taken that into account when they built the warehouse. At most, the cave was buried, but the interior should be fine. He felt a pang of regret.
The earthquake subsided, but fearing aftershocks, the two did not leave the escape capsule.
Exhausted from the night's sleep, Zuo Ling felt dizzy from the shaking, so she simply adjusted her chair to a semi-reclining mode, took out two quilts, gave two more to Pei Nansheng, and closed her eyes to fall fast asleep.
Pei Nansheng held the quilt, glanced at Zuo Ling who was sleeping soundly and didn't care about anything, and was speechless.
There's still an earthquake! We're deep in the mountains, are you really not afraid of a landslide burying us?
But he knew that Zuo Ling was really tired. His temples throbbed twice, and he rubbed his temples, but he didn't say anything to stop her from sleeping.
Zuo Ling was so asleep that he was drooling and didn't know what year it was until his stomach started growling.
When she opened her eyes, she saw Pei Nansheng staring at her with bloodshot eyes.
She sat up, smiling sheepishly, "You...you're not asleep?"
Pei Nansheng didn't want to deal with his stupid younger sister, so he said in a huff, "You keep an eye on things, I'm going to take a nap."
The blanket was pulled over my head, and in less than half a minute, I was already snoring.
Zuo Ling was baffled. What was she looking at? She looked towards the window, but it was all white and she couldn't see anything. Was she buried in the snow?
He yawned widely, tears welled up in his eyes, patted his stomach, and pulled out a braised pig's trotter to gnaw on.
After finishing the pig's trotters, I downed half a can of soda, then started gnawing on chicken feet. After finishing the chicken feet, I chewed on a hairy crab.
After filling my stomach halfway, I brought out half a watermelon to fill the gap.
Pei Nansheng didn't dare to sleep too soundly. Half asleep, he heard Zuo Ling talking incessantly, like a mouse.
At first, he was a little angry, but as he listened for a while, Zuo Ling's chewing sounds actually gave him a particularly comforting feeling. He smiled helplessly and gradually drifted off to sleep.
