The group had almost finished moving the things from the warehouse on the third floor before going up to the fourth floor.
Chen Wan used a fire axe to chop open the door of the warehouse on the fourth floor. He was greeted by a foul smell coming from the freezer in the warehouse. Chen Wan walked over, opened the freezer and took a look. He saw that it was full of rotten and spoiled animal meat.
Chen Wan quickly closed the freezer door and took a few steps back before speaking: "All this meat is useless. Let's just move on to food and other things."
"Okay, fortunately rice and flour are basically vacuum-packed, so they shouldn't be affected by the smell." Jiang Yanxin nodded and said with a smile.
"Yeah, but the smell is too pungent." Chen Wan covered his nose and hid further away from the freezer.
Chen Wan moved away from the freezer and walked over to the boxes against the wall. There was an entire wall of boxes there. When he opened them, he saw that they were all filled with various military canned foods, including luncheon meat, beef, tuna, and so on.
Chen Wan stacked the two large boxes together, carried them up and walked downstairs. There was no elevator, so they had to go up and down the stairs. Chen Wan and the others could only carry them one by one. Fortunately, she was very strong, and Shen Mingyan and Yiyi were both bionic people, and they were also very strong, so they could carry them quickly.
Qi Jing and the other two were also working hard to carry supplies into the armored vehicle. Although they were tired, the sense of security they felt after having the supplies made them all very happy.
Chen Wan and the others continued moving until noon, finally filling up the entire compressed space. They even placed a few boxes of canned food and rice and flour on the open space on the first floor of the RV.
The streets were still quiet when they went out. Chen Wan returned to the RV and immediately disinfected it with 84 disinfectant before driving out along the main road of Beijing. The snow had just melted, and the city was full of dirty water soaked with rotting corpses. Chen Wan was afraid that if she stayed here, she would get sick sooner or later, so she simply drove the RV out. Qi Jing and the other two's armored vehicles followed closely behind them.
It was hot at noon and the smell outside was unpleasant. Chen Wan didn't dare to open the window, so she had to turn on the air conditioner in the RV to cool it down a little. As they passed by, they saw several teams. Most of them were driving towards the suburbs like Chen Wan and his friends. On the way, they met survivors asking for help on the roadside. When they saw the military vehicles behind the RV, they waved desperately for help.
Chen Wan saw that they were several tall and strong male alphas, and had no intention of asking Yiyi to stop the car. The RV drove past at high speed, even splashing a lot of water. Qi Jing also absorbed it.
Learning from the lesson he had encountered an ungrateful person in the mall, he stepped on the accelerator and drove after Chen Wan's RV.
They drove all the way to the suburbs near the winding mountain road before stopping. There were few people here and the terrain was high, so there was no muddy water or rotten corpses on the road. Chen Wan and the others simply started cooking.
Qi Jing and the other two also got out of the car to light a fire and cook. They felt embarrassed to always eat Chen Wan and the others' food, and now that they had supplies, they had no need to do so.
Chen Wan cut the luncheon meat and canned beef into cubes, threw them into the white porridge and cooked them together. He added some chopped green onions when serving the dish, and it became a simple meal.
However, while Chen Wan and the others were eating, several more cars drove out from Beijing City. Seeing that Chen Wan and the others used this place as a temporary resting place, the other cars also stopped nearby one after another, slowly forming a small temporary camp.
Chen Wan and Qin Ke prepared to get out of the RV to get some fresh air and see if they could get any useful information.
Qi Jing and the others had just finished cooking. Chen Wan took a look and saw that the porridge they cooked was similar to what he made. They both used canned meat and porridge together.
Seeing the two of them coming down, Qi Jing hurriedly asked, "It's just cooked, let's eat something together."
Chen Wan smiled and shook his head. "This is what we're eating too. You guys hurry up and eat. Qin Ke and I will just wander around."
Seeing that Chen Wan and the others had finished eating, Qi Jing and the other two started to eat. Chen Wan and Qin Ke walked nearby to digest their food. Sure enough, when the people in other cars saw Chen Wan and the others get out, they also wanted to get out to get some fresh air.
Two young men, one an alpha and the other an omega, got out of a nearby SUV. Seeing Chen Wan and the others approaching, they took the initiative to greet them, "Are you also fresh out of Beijing?"
"Yeah." Chen Wan nodded, wanting to hear what he wanted to say next.
"Well, if you ask me, we are lucky. We are fine after being buried in the snow for such a long time. Sister, you don't know how we have been living these past few months. Fortunately, we hid in a convenience store and barely avoided starvation. How about you? How did you escape?" The man's half-long hair was frizzled like a chicken coop. Obviously, he was in no mood to take care of it. He asked to himself.
"We're about the same. We've been hiding in the mall until now." Chen Wan looked at the two men. Zhawoji was obviously a talkative person, while the other alpha, who was slightly taller, just looked at Chen Wan and the others with caution.
"Hey, then you are luckier than us,
We should be able to find blankets in the field. We were both freezing cold. If it weren't for him..." Zhawoji quickly covered his mouth and didn't continue talking. He turned to talk about other things. "By the way, are you guys going to District 1 too?"
"Zone One? What is that place? A newly established base?" Chen Wan thought for a moment and asked.
"It's not a newly established one. When we were in Jing City, there was already the First District. It's in Qin City, west of Jing City, but there are several mountains between us. I don't know if it has been affected by this snowstorm. We heard when we were in Jing City that the First District was well managed and even safer than Jing City. Many people went to Qin City for refuge. Now that we can't stay in Jing City anymore, we are also going to Qin City to try our luck." Zhawoji explained.
Chen Wan nodded thoughtfully but did not answer.
A man in another pickup truck overheard Chen Wan and the others' conversation and got out, rushing over to try and make some friends. "Hey guys, are you guys going to District 1 too? Why don't we go together? I know the route there. I've been to Qincheng before. It's not easy to escape death. If we all go together, we can still look after each other."
"Okay, we're just going there together anyway. The situation is already so bad, it won't get any worse than it is now." Zhawoji said with a smile.
Chen Wan and Qin Ke looked at each other and said, "Okay, I'll discuss it with my friends."
"Hey, what's there to discuss? District 1 is so safe, and you can exchange supplies. It's hard to find a place as safe as that." Zhawoji said with a smile.
Chen Wan and Qin Ke returned to the RV. She told everyone the news she had just heard. Due to the bad weather, Chen Wan and the others really didn't know where was safe.
Chen Wan thought for a moment and asked, "Why don't we go over and check out the situation? We still need some things to upgrade our RV to level six. It would be great if we could collect those things in the first area."
"Well, we now have the 70 heavy trucks, 1,000 cars, and 5,000 level 2 zombie cores needed to upgrade the RV to level 6. We also need 5 level 3 mutant animal cores, but we only have two of them. After the RV is upgraded to level 6, it will enter the aerial form, which can better ensure our safety." Yiyi followed Chen Wan's words.
"Then let's go to the first area first. If we need to hand in our supplies before entering the first area, we can leave. Otherwise, we can stay there first and collect the remaining three crystal cores that we are short of." Jiang
Yan Xin said.
"Okay, then let's go with them. It's not convenient for us to always bring Qi Jing and the others with us. It's just right that we can settle them down in the first district." Chen Wan got out of the RV and confirmed with Zhawoji and the others that they would set off at 2 pm, with the man driving the pickup truck leading the way.
Soon, after Chen Wan and his friends had rested for a while, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon. The man driving the pickup truck shouted twice to the outside, signaling Chen Wan and Zhawoji to follow. The group actually formed a small convoy and drove slowly towards the first district.
The few cars coming from behind probably didn't know where to go, so they also followed Chen Wan and the others towards the first area.
The roads to the first district were all winding mountain roads, passing through several large mountains. By the time the group was almost at their destination, it was already past six in the afternoon, and the sun was about to set.
The pickup truck slowly stopped in front. This was the first checkpoint in the first zone. There were about 20 armed soldiers on each side of the checkpoint, and 8 armored tanks on the open space next to it, as if anyone who came here did not behave properly would be overturned by a cannon at any time.
After a simple inspection, Chen Wan and his group successfully entered the first checkpoint in the first area. Then they drove forward for more than half an hour. The high-rise buildings and shops in front of them gradually became denser, but the places ahead were all surrounded by huge, thick and tall steel plates. Only one gate was left open. There were soldiers with live ammunition on both sides of the gate. Chen Wan took a quick look and it looked like there were about fifty people. There were two rows of rocket launchers set up on the steel plates on both sides of the gate. The soldiers stood neatly behind them, as if they could launch an attack at any time.
The inspection at the first checkpoint is obviously much stricter than the second one. When passing the first checkpoint, the soldiers only conduct a simple inspection. All people in the car at the first checkpoint have to get off the car and pass the instrument inspection in a house next to it. Only after passing the inspection are they allowed to enter the first area.
Chen Wan and the others did not plan to hide the number of people this time. After all, 9 people in the RV seemed a bit too many, but escaping in the apocalypse was not a leisurely experience, so it was not surprising even if there were 9 people in the RV.
After getting off the car, Chen Wan asked, "Hello, I'd like to ask first, if we finally pass and enter the first zone, do we need to hand in our vehicles and supplies?"
"You don't need to hand in vehicles and supplies. The first checkpoint is to check people, and the third checkpoint will have machines to check the supplies in the vehicles. As long as there are no dangerous goods such as guns, machetes, etc., we will not confiscate them. Even if guns are found, we will give you corresponding material compensation at the same time as confiscating them." The soldier explained.
"Okay, thank you." Chen Wan thought for a moment and had a rough idea in mind. As they walked towards the house, Chen Wan said to Yiyi, "Yiyi, is there any way to prevent those machines from finding what's inside? And the first floor, we can't let the military know about it."
Yiyi smiled and replied, "Don't worry, I've already prepared it."
Yiyi can not only block the detection signals of external machines, so that the machines can only detect that the RV is an ordinary RV, but also make the RV's appearance a decoy, hiding the door on the first floor of the RV and the elevator, so that those who inspect it can't find anything.
As they spoke, Chen Wan and the others had already entered the room. The equipment here seemed to have been modified. Instead of testing one by one, a team of people could stand here for a few seconds and get the results. Chen Wan and the others were certainly fine. Yiyi had added some signal shielding to her and Shen Mingyan's bodies, making them look exactly like humans, so the equipment couldn't find any problems.
