Xiao Yu was worried—this was only the second day of the apocalypse, and already large groups of Zombies were appearing.
At this rate, S City would fall very soon.
And the supplies they had stockpiled weren't nearly enough.
What Xiao Yu needed most right now was time.
True,
they already had meat, vegetables, and fruits.
But they still needed rice, flour, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar—essentials that couldn't be ignored.
And most importantly—fuel.
Gas stations likely had no one working anymore. Even with Mental Enchantment, there was no one to pump gas for you.
Above all else,
Xiao Yu lacked a decent weapon.
The Fire Axe was too blunt—once it got lodged in a Zombie's skull, it was hard to pull out.
He was also running low on ammo for his submachine gun.
Problem after problem.
As he mulled this over, he glanced at the three women being torn apart by Zombies at the corner.
One of them was still alive.
Her body was mangled beyond recognition.
Her guts were spilling out, and she was hanging on by a thread.
"Kill me… please, just kill me…"
The woman spotted Xiao Yu and begged him desperately.
Even though Xiao Yu was no stranger to death, he was moved in that moment.
Damn it, if you're going to bite her, bite clean.
Why the hell are you chewing on her stomach for half an hour?
"Please… kill me. I swear, if I become a ghost, I'll protect you. I beg you…"
She kept pleading.
The Zombies hadn't noticed Xiao Yu yet, but he still raised his gun and aimed at the dying woman.
Bang bang bang…
A burst of three shots—she was finally at peace.
As soon as he fired, Xiao Yu scrambled onto an SUV.
As expected,
the sound of gunfire immediately drew all the Zombies' attention.
More than a dozen of them turned and charged at him, roaring.
At this point, Zombies didn't have much of an appetite—
but their innate urge to destroy drove them to rip Xiao Yu apart.
Roar!
The nearest Zombie lunged at the SUV.
Xiao Yu swung his axe down hard.
Crack!
Brains splattered everywhere.
Beep beep beep…
The SUV's alarm blared to life—sharp and jarring in the empty garage.
Xiao Yu took advantage of the high ground, swinging his Fire Axe nonstop.
Zombies fell one after another.
In less than five minutes, he had slain them all.
Xiao Yu exhaled slowly.
He hadn't fired recklessly—his stats had already been quadrupled.
If he couldn't deal with this many Zombies from the roof of a car, then what was the system even for?
"Xiao Yu!"
"Captain!"
An Xiaoran and Han Kexin, alarmed by the gunfire, ran over.
Xiao Yu jumped down from the SUV.
"It's fine. Let's go."
They drove out of the garage.
Outside, police sirens wailed and gunshots rang out—panic had completely engulfed the city.
"We need to move fast."
Xiao Yu entered the address for Nongxin Freezing Workshop into his GPS.
Sixteen kilometers away.
S City had only three cold storage facilities.
The largest was Lingrui.
Nongxin and the other were much smaller.
At most, they held six to seven thousand tons each.
After all, this was just a fourth-tier city.
Cold storage warehouses with over ten thousand tons of capacity were extremely rare.
Ten minutes later—
They arrived at Nongxin.
There were no guards at the gate.
The three of them entered easily.
Inside, the workers were gone, but six Zombies remained.
"Looks like the staff fled after the outbreak."
"Lucky for us."
Roar!
The Zombies saw them and charged.
"Don't use your guns."
"Climb on top of the freezers and use axes."
They had to conserve ammo—
and spiritual power.
Plus, it was time for An Xiaoran and Han Kexin to get used to melee combat.
The freezers were all quite large.
Even the smaller ones were at least two meters tall.
Thanks to their enhanced stats, both girls could climb them easily.
From the high ground, the three swung their axes down.
Brains burst and splattered everywhere.
They took down all six Zombies in no time.
Xiao Yu jumped off the freezer.
"Man… if we had better melee weapons, we wouldn't need to rely on terrain just to deal with six Zombies."
He sighed again.
"All right. Kexin, keep watch. Xiaoran, help me move supplies."
"Listen up."
"Things are getting worse. We need to stay combat-ready at all times."
"While we're moving supplies, don't overuse your spiritual energy."
"If you start to feel tired, rest immediately."
An Xiaoran nodded.
She had seen how dangerous the city had become.
The non-stop sirens and gunshots made it clear.
"Let's begin."
Xiao Yu placed his hand on a freezer and slowly stored it into the Space Warehouse.
20 tons of pork—secured.
His mood improved instantly, easing his frustration over the lack of good weapons.
An Xiaoran was in a good mood too.
Rested and energized, she even hummed a tune as she worked.
They looted continuously,
resting as soon as they felt tired—
always keeping their strength up.
As a result, their pace was slow.
It wasn't until past 1:00 AM that they finished looting the entire facility.
But the haul was massive:
Total: 5,400 tons of supplies.
2,300 tons of pork
900 tons of beef
500 tons of lamb
450 tons of chicken, duck, and fish
250 tons of seafood
1,000 tons of vegetables, fruits, and eggs
That brought Xiao Yu's current total to:
11,200+ tons of various meats
3,000+ tons of fruits, vegetables, and eggs
Looking at those numbers,
Xiao Yu grinned from ear to ear.
All that exhaustion? Totally worth it.
"Come on—let's hit the last cold storage facility!"
