"500 units of armored ballistic steel..."
"3,000 rounds of Axe Gun Ammunition..."
"500 Anti-Tank Mines..."
"1,000 grenades..."
Lin Hui looked at the mountain of supplies, then glanced back at his already crammed RV.
The Lv.2 Heavy-Duty RV had twelve cubic meters of interior space, but that was only its "living space."
Inside, only the aisle had barely enough room to stand. Everywhere else was piled with instant noodles, water, and assorted items he had scavenged earlier.
Forget the 500 units of steel-even those dozens of crates of ammunition and grenades could only just fit under the bed.
Once he used the Vehicle Advancement Blueprint, it would disappear, taking its ability to store "upgrade materials" with it.
Outside, the Hungry Wolf Guild's wrecked Heavy Pickup Truck could also yield plenty of materials if disassembled.
"I can't take it all."
"There's just no way."
Lin Hui rubbed his brow in frustration.
He was like a mouse that had fallen into a grain bin, staring at a storehouse full of rice only to discover its stomach was tiny.
"Since I can't take it all..."
Lin Hui's gaze suddenly sharpened as he looked at his black RV.
"I'll just have to upgrade first!"
[RV Advancement Plan (Lv.2 → Lv.3)] [Current plan: Plan B (Perfect Version)] [Material check:] [Armored ballistic steel: 100 units (Requirement met!)] [Precision Electronic Components: 10 sets (Requirement met!)] [Fire-Control Chip: 1 (Requirement met!)]
"Begin evolution!"
Lin Hui gave the command without hesitation.
Rumble-
The familiar dark-gold light flared again, but this time, a chilling trace of blood-red ran through it.
That was the color of a war machine.
As if answering some summons, the warehouse's premium alloy ingots turned into a flowing torrent of metal and surged wildly into the vehicle.
Creak-crack-
Accompanied by the teeth-grating sound of growing metal, the RV's shape underwent another drastic transformation.
Its body lengthened and widened again, its chassis becoming more stable, like a small mobile fortress.
The already substantial armor grew thicker, and Reactive Armor Blocks of the kind normally fitted only to tanks appeared across its surface.
But the greatest change was on the roof.
The previously empty weapon turret mount sprang into furious motion.
Mechanical arms extended and retracted. Armor plates interlocked.
Finally.
A pitch-black barrel two meters long, with a terrifying 25 mm caliber, slowly rose into view!
This was the [Heavy Chain Autocannon]!
It was no longer some crude machine gun that required someone to stick their head outside to operate it. It was a fully automatic killing machine with fire-control radar, operated from inside the vehicle!
Ten minutes later.
The light faded.
An enormous machine radiating a cold, menacing presence stood in the middle of the warehouse.
[Ding! RV evolution successful!] [Vehicle: RV (Lv.3)] [Level: Lv.3] [Physical defense: 200 (100 → 200)] (A qualitative leap! Even standard RPGs would struggle to penetrate its armor!) [Magic resistance: 0] [Weight: 20 tons (10 → 20)] [Space: 20 cubic meters (10 → 20)] [Durability: 100%] [Fuel: ∞ (Infinite)] [External weapon: M330 "Big Wasp" Chain Autocannon (25 mm caliber)] (Rate of fire: 200 rounds/minute; effective range: 2,500 meters)
Lv.3
"Twenty tons..."
Lin Hui looked at the behemoth before him and nodded in satisfaction.
With that much mass, it could charge straight through even a zombie horde.
But the part he anticipated most was only just beginning.
[Talent activated! Drawing a Lv.3 golden trait...]
"Here it comes!"
Lin Hui held his breath.
The golden wheel spun wildly, countless mysterious symbols flashing before his eyes.
Ding!
The wheel stopped.
[Congratulations! You have obtained the golden trait: Space Folding] [Quality: Golden Legend] [Type: Rule-Type] [Trait attribute: Grants the vehicle's storage compartment the properties of a "Sumeru Mustard Seed."] [Effects:] [1. Infinite expansion: Expands the storage compartment's interior space one hundred thousandfold (Current: 100,000 cubic meters).] [2. Absolute preservation: Time stands still for items placed inside. They will never spoil.] [3. Access lock: Opening the compartment or retrieving items requires the host's permission.] [4. Intelligent collection: Auto-Pickup function for supplies.]
"Holy shit?!"
The moment Lin Hui saw those attributes, he swore outright.
A hundred thousandfold?!
Just how much was a hundred thousand cubic meters?
A standard shipping container held only thirty cubic meters. A hundred thousand cubic meters was equivalent to over three thousand containers! In other words, it was like stuffing the cargo hold of a midsized freighter directly into the RV's storage compartment!
"This isn't a storage cabinet! It's a whole fucking logistics center I can take anywhere!"
Lin Hui's hands trembled with excitement.
With this trait, why would he ever worry about leaving supplies behind?
Forget those 500 units of steel-even if he packed in every piece of equipment in the Arsenal, along with all the abandoned tank wrecks outside, they would barely fill a corner!
"Apply to target-the RV's storage cabinet!"
A beam of golden light sank into the ordinary-looking storage cabinet beside the RV's bed.
On the surface, nothing changed.
But when Lin Hui opened the lid, the cramped dark hollow was gone. In its place was a seemingly boundless extradimensional space glowing with soft white light.
"Fantastic."
Lin Hui took a deep breath and turned toward the mountain of supplies, a hungry gleam in his eyes.
"Collect it all!"
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The heavy steel, ammunition, and explosives that had given Lin Hui such a headache now vanished by the ton, like dust sucked into a vacuum cleaner, reappearing inside that extradimensional space.
[Stored: Armored ballistic steel x 400 units] [Stored: Axe Gun Ammunition x 3,000 rounds] [Stored: Grenades x 1,000] [Stored: Landmines x 500]
In mere minutes, the Arsenal warehouse that had been packed with supplies was cleaner than Lin Hui's face.
He even collected the shelves while he was at it. They were made of iron, after all, and could be smelted down.
But that still wasn't enough.
Lin Hui stepped out of the warehouse and surveyed the wreckage scattered outside.
Guo Yong's shot-up Heavy Pickup Truck, and those seven or eight wrecked Dirt Bikes.
"Disassemble the Heavy Pickup Truck!"
"Disassemble the Dirt Bikes!"
[Obtained through Disassemble: Steel x 90 units] [Obtained through Disassemble: Rubber x 15 units] [Obtained through Disassemble: Electronic components x 10 sets]
There were also supplies dropped by zombies scattered all over the ground.
"Collect them! Collect everything!"
Lin Hui swept his hand through the air.
The supplies vanished instantly.
[Obtained: Mineral water, Wuchang Rice, soy sauce, peanut oil, lard, Dragon Raja print editions (1-3), the complete print edition of A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality, tomatoes, cucumbers...]
Ten minutes later.
The Arsenal's square, which had looked like a scene from hell, stood completely empty.
Lin Hui looked at the supplies inside the storage cabinet's spatial dimension and gave the RV's sturdy body a satisfied pat.
"Time to leave."
"There's nothing here worth lingering over anymore."
Roar-!
The Lv.3 armed RV let out a deep growl, rolled over the last piece of rubble, and slowly drove out through the Arsenal's gates.
The setting sun stretched the black beast's shadow far into the distance.
And inside its storage compartment lay enough weapons and ammunition to equip a reinforced company, along with a spatial dimension holding the makings of a small city.
