Opening the Warehouse Doors

In response to Zhao Tianlei's question, Lei Zhen answered without hesitation, "There's actually nothing much to store in this warehouse. Normally, it served as a centralized refugee camp. Because the apocalypse came so suddenly, the survivor base had not even entered its trial period when large numbers of survivors poured in."
