Warehouse

There was still food inside!

Li Mu Chuan's heart leaped with joy at the sight, and he was about to go in and gather it up.

However, his heart suddenly skipped a beat the next moment.

Just inside the entrance, two moving figures had their heads lowered, doing who knew what.

Judging by their appearance, they were clearly zombies.

Damn!

Li Mu Chuan's heart clenched at the sight.

What kind of luck was this? He had finally found food, only to run into zombies.

But there were only two zombies here. If he let this chance slip by, he might not get another.

After searching for so long, Li Mu Chuan had already been hungry for three days. The food was right in front of him; there was no reason to pass it up.

Thinking this, Li Mu Chuan gritted his teeth and tightened his grip on the steel bar.

A fruit knife was tied to one end. If he got lucky, he should be able to take one zombie out with a sneak attack.

Then, if he went all out against the other one, it should not be too much of a problem.

That was Li Mu Chuan's plan at the moment.

Once he had made up his mind, Li Mu Chuan took a deep breath and quietly crept forward with the steel bar in hand.

The two zombies kept their heads lowered and did not make any movements.

When Li Mu Chuan reached their backs, he suddenly thrust the steel bar into the neck of the outer zombie, driving it through the neck and straight into its brain.

The zombie died instantly.

The other zombie heard the commotion, and the instant it noticed Li Mu Chuan, it lunged at him.

It was so fast that it felt as though Li Mu Chuan had only just raised his head before it was already upon him.

Li Mu Chuan's vision went dark as the zombie, reeking of rot, pounced before him and opened its mouth to bite his face.

Li Mu Chuan's mind went blank. His body could only react on instinct.

He yanked back the steel bar that had been embedded in the other zombie, then swung it viciously, sending the zombie before him flying to the side.

Then he stepped forward and drove the fruit knife at the end of the bar straight into the zombie's brain.

When the dust settled, Li Mu Chuan's hands trembled slightly as he realized that he had already dealt with the zombie in front of him.

Li Mu Chuan panted heavily. Where the steel bar had struck the zombie's waist, its body had nearly been severed in two.

Li Mu Chuan was somewhat stunned. He knew his own body well enough—where had that kind of strength come from?

Besides, a human skull was extremely hard. Piercing through this zombie's skull with one stab should have been almost impossible.

That had definitely been a burst of hidden potential.

Li Mu Chuan still felt lingering fear. He already knew these zombies were no ordinary creatures, but the sight of that zombie lunging straight for his face had still chilled his limbs.

Fortunately, the zombie had not made any noise just now. Otherwise, it might have drawn the other zombies over.

Li Mu Chuan stirred the knife around inside the zombie's skull. Only after confirming it was completely dead did he pull the fruit knife out with relief.

Only then did Li Mu Chuan notice that the tied-on fruit knife had started to bend after the forceful blows just now.

Luckily, the zombies were already dead. Otherwise, the weapon he had made himself probably would not have held up for another use.

He cautiously approached the shelves and glanced at the food packages on the floor. They were all puffed snacks, and Li Mu Chuan was immediately disappointed.

These things would not fill his stomach.

After searching carefully, he did not find anything like bread.

Though if there really had been bread, it was probably expired by now.

After thinking it over, Li Mu Chuan headed deeper into the supermarket. If there was still food outside, then there might be some left in the warehouse as well.

After walking deeper into the supermarket for a while, Li Mu Chuan successfully found a small warehouse.

The warehouse door had been pushed open slightly, but he could not see what was inside.

Seeing this, Li Mu Chuan carefully backed away a little and used the steel bar in his hand to slowly push the warehouse door open.

When the door opened, everything inside was immediately laid bare before Li Mu Chuan.

Cases of Mineral Water were stacked neatly, while bags of rice had been sorted into piles.

To one side were boxes of various snacks, along with instant noodles, Self-Heating Hot Pots, and other convenient foods.

Li Mu Chuan swallowed at the sight, his eyes shining.

From the looks of it, no one had noticed this warehouse, allowing him to reap the benefits.

Li Mu Chuan stepped forward, immediately took out a bottle of Mineral Water, and gulped down the entire bottle.

After finishing the whole bottle of Mineral Water, Li Mu Chuan finally felt much more refreshed.

If he closed the door and stayed here, there was so much food that he could definitely survive until time ran out.

But Li Mu Chuan hesitated. Hiding here until the end would naturally let him return safely, but what if he took a little risk and hauled the food over to Li Qingxiao?

If he built a good relationship with her, perhaps he could get something useful from her?

She was, after all, a biomedical researcher. If he could get some of her research results, perhaps he would strike it rich?

And from the looks of it, she was still researching a serum. Li Mu Chuan thought it over carefully.

If he could bring food back, he might be able to change Li Qingxiao's life trajectory.

Perhaps that could earn him Interference Points.

With that thought, Li Mu Chuan finally gritted his teeth. He ran to get the supermarket carts, tied five of them together, and began loading food into them.

He loaded one bag of flour, five bags of rice, and one case of Pickled Mustard Tuber.

He added five cases of instant noodles, ten cases of Mineral Water, a small pot, a large box of chocolate, ham sausages, and some daily necessities.

Li Mu Chuan liked chocolate quite a bit, and it was high in calories too, so taking some with him was not a bad idea.

He also took a case of Compressed Biscuits.

The five carts were packed to the brim, and Li Mu Chuan felt immensely satisfied as he looked at the supplies behind him.

Then he quietly pushed the carts out of the supermarket.

The carts made relatively little noise. Li Mu Chuan proceeded cautiously the whole way, avoiding all kinds of obstacles before finally returning to the ground floor of the gold shop.

Gold shops all had Alchemy Firearms. As long as no one had taken them, starting a fire would not be a concern.

After parking the carts, Li Mu Chuan carried two cases of Mineral Water upstairs.

The room door was already shut. Li Mu Chuan stepped forward and knocked lightly.

Li Qingxiao, who was inside the room, froze when she heard the sound, then her heart jolted.

She picked up her gun and went to the door, her expression wary.

"Who is it?"

"It's me."

Li Mu Chuan answered when he heard her voice.

Li Mu Chuan?

Li Qingxiao froze for a moment. After confirming through the peephole that Li Mu Chuan was alone, she opened the door.

When Li Qingxiao opened the door, Li Mu Chuan did not immediately enter. "Move these two cases of Mineral Water inside first. I'll bring up the rest of the food."

With that, Li Mu Chuan turned and went downstairs.

Looking at the Mineral Water before her, Li Qingxiao was completely stunned. Did this guy not know how precious water was in the apocalypse?

He was just leaving it here? Was he not afraid that she would keep it all for herself and drive him away?

She had seen too many things like that, both in the base and after coming out here.

There had been countless schemes and power struggles between people, making Li Mu Chuan's actions now seem utterly absurd to her.
