Stockpiling in the Apocalypse: Supplies Forging a Legend of Survival

Liu Ruyan took a glance and then looked away, urging in a low voice, "Don't look. Go to sleep quickly!"

It was already twelve o'clock. If she didn't go to sleep soon, there really wouldn't be much time left for sleeping.

At this time, only Zhang Yuan's eyes were exposed outside. After hearing Liu Ruyan's words, his eyes curved slightly, clearly showing that he was smiling.

However, he didn't say anything. He adjusted his posture, leaned against the backpack, and closed his eyes.

Hearing Zhang Yuan's breathing gradually become steady and long, Liu Ruyan knew that he had fallen asleep.

Liu Ruyan sat up straight and looked around.

Except for those who were keeping watch by the fire, everyone else had fallen asleep.

With so many people sleeping together, it was impossible for it to be quiet.

There were snoring sounds, teeth grinding sounds, and low murmuring sounds in sleep.

There were many and various sounds, but in this environment, they didn't seem out of place.

At a glance, it seemed that everyone was sleeping in a mass.

But upon closer inspection, it could be found that the people from the base and the original survivors here were clearly distinguishable.

Just from their clothes and the things placed around them, one could tell where they were from.

Similarly wrapped up like bears, most of the people from the base had neat clothes with few damages.

However, the clothes on the original survivors here were tattered.

They didn't all wear down jackets or padded clothes. Some people put on all the clothes they could find, layer by layer.

They looked bulky, but actually, the warmth retention wasn't good.

Just then, someone among the people from the base got up quietly.

Liu Ruyan saw this but didn't take it seriously.

After all, people might have urgent needs to relieve themselves. It wouldn't be strange for someone to stand up suddenly at any time.

But after that person stood up, several others stood up one after another.

Several people, with their backpacks on their backs, walked carefully towards the direction of the door.

Seeing this, Liu Ruyan quietly leaned against the wall and narrowed her eyes.

A total of four people went out.

After the four of them went out, they quickly ran towards the parking area.

Just after they ran out, some people among the survivors also got up one after another.

These people crouched down and moved more nimbly and also very quickly.

Liu Ruyan hardly heard their footsteps and could only see them quickly going out of the door one by one.

Watching them go out, Liu Ruyan frowned.

Was someone already unable to hold back and about to cause trouble on the very first night?

Just as she was thinking this, she heard a girl screaming loudly outside. The sound cut through the night sky.

"Give it back to me! Give my food back to me! Why did you rob me of my things?"

"You greedy bastards! Captain Kong has already given you dinner, yet you're still not satisfied and came to rob us!"

"We shouldn't have rescued you! We should have let you freeze and starve to death here!"

The shrill voices of several girls sounded extremely harsh in this quiet late night.

Among these voices, there was one that sounded a bit familiar to Liu Ruyan.

After frowning and thinking for a while, Liu Ruyan remembered.

It was the girl who said it smelled bad when they first entered the lobby.

The sounds outside quickly woke up the people in the lobby. Kong Rui got up first and led his team members to go outside.

Apart from them, neither the survivors nor the members who came from the base had the intention to follow them out.

In the middle of the night, it was icy and snowy outside, and it could almost freeze people stiff.

Facing people and things that had nothing to do with them, who would be willing to run outside?

Liu Ruyan also heard someone muttering a curse in a low voice, obviously dissatisfied with being woken up in the middle of the night.

In these extremely cold days, it wasn't just the weather that was cold.

Before long, Kong Rui led the people back.

Several girls came into the lobby and were still complaining shrilly.

"Captain Kong, you can't just ignore this! They robbed our supplies. Make them give them back to us!"

Before Kong Rui could say anything, a man chuckled twice.

"Give them back to you? Sure! I'll spit them out for you right now! Do you want them?"

"You! How disgusting are you? No wonder you've ended up in a situation where you need our help. You're useless and disgusting. People like you are better off dead!"

"Hey! You're right. I've had enough of this damn life long ago. Come on! Kill me if you can!"

"I'm too disgusted to kill you! Hurry up and find a way to give me back my things! Otherwise, I won't let you off!"

"Then come on! I've only got these two ounces of flesh left on me. If you want them, just take them!"

The two of them started quarreling, which made many people open their eyes and look at them unhappily.

"Enough!" Kong Rui shouted in a low voice. "Stop quarreling! All of you, go back to sleep!"

"Captain Kong, our supplies—"

"Did I rob your supplies? What's the use of asking me? Ask him to give them back to you. What can he use to return them to you now?"

Kong Rui was also very angry. After taking two deep breaths to suppress his anger a little, he then said, "Write down their information. After we return to the base, let them work to earn contribution points and then return them to you."

"When will that be?"

"Not willing to wait? Fine! Then you go and ask him for it yourself! Also, if you want to quarrel, go outside and don't delay everyone's rest here!"

Kong Rui could lead the team, so of course he had abilities and a temper.

Seeing that he was angry now, the several girls didn't dare to make trouble anymore.

"Forget it, forget it. I won't ask for them back, okay? Just consider it as feeding the dogs!"

The man who was cursed as a dog didn't show any sign of anger on his face and was still smiling.

But Liu Ruyan could see the murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

This place was different from the First Base. People who could survive here were no ordinary people.

This man looked shameless with a smile on his face, but if he only relied on this, it would be absolutely impossible for him to survive until now.

These girls had their supplies robbed. They could either kill the people directly to avoid future troubles or swallow their anger and wait for another chance.

However, they didn't choose either option.

They cursed and swore, seemingly venting their anger, but actually they had brought trouble upon themselves without realizing it.

Liu Ruyan didn't dislike tough people or cold-blooded and ruthless people.

After all, it was not easy to survive in the apocalypse. Everyone for himself and the devil takes the hindmost.

However, Liu Ruyan disliked stupid people.

Especially stupid people who had no skills but were self-righteous.

Liu Ruyan looked away and didn't look at them again.

When she turned her head, Liu Ruyan's gaze unconsciously fell on Zhang Yuan.

With such a fierce commotion just now, Zhang Yuan didn't move at all, and his breathing didn't change either. Obviously, he was still asleep.

Liu Ruyan didn't know whether she should praise him for having good sleep quality or for being so carefree.

In the following time, nothing unexpected happened, and they safely arrived at the morning.

As soon as it was dawn outside, the lobby became noisy with people's voices.

It was the survivors shouting that they were hungry.
