Stockpiling in the Apocalypse: Supplies Forging a Legend of Survival

Kong Rui didn't waste any time. He immediately asked people to open the boxes and take out the food to start cooking.

Unlike the survivors who were eagerly waiting to be fed, the people who had come from the base all walked out of the lobby and headed towards their own cars.

Liu Ruyan and Zhang Yuan were the same.

The two of them got into the car and brushed their teeth and washed their faces inside.

It was too cold outside. If they washed up outside, the water used for washing the face might freeze directly on the face.

Even in the car, they had to dry themselves quickly after washing.

Liu Ruyan liked to have porridge in the morning. A bowl of hot porridge could warm a person up from the inside out.

In order to be able to drink porridge when away from home, Liu Ruyan had deliberately put the cooked porridge into lunch boxes and then placed them on the window of the living room.

At that temperature, within less than an hour, the hot porridge had been frozen solid. Now, if she wanted to drink it, she just needed to boil it and heat it up.

However, there was no way to use the gas stove in the car, and Liu Ruyan was a bit hesitant.

Zhang Yuan looked outside and pointed to a house that had collapsed halfway. He said to Liu Ruyan, "Why don't we go over there?"

Liu Ruyan looked in the direction Zhang Yuan pointed and thought it was okay, so she nodded.

Zhang Yuan carried the gas stove and the pot, while Liu Ruyan carried a big backpack.

The two of them found a corner sheltered from the wind, put down the gas stove, lit the fire, and started heating the porridge.

The porridge in the lunch box was frozen hard and couldn't be taken out at all.

Fortunately, the material of the pot allowed it to be heated directly, so Liu Ruyan simply put it on the stove.

Besides porridge, there were scallion pancakes as a side dish.

The scallion pancakes were directly placed on top of the lunch box to be heated and became soft after a while.

Zhang Yuan took out a box from his arms. "Shredded pork. It can be eaten with them."

Although Liu Ruyan also liked meat, she didn't have to eat meat in every meal. Seeing that Zhang Yuan even wanted to have shredded pork with his breakfast, she couldn't help laughing.

The shredded pork was seaweed-flavored shredded pork, and it tasted really good. Whether it was put in the porridge or rolled in the scallion pancakes, it was very delicious.

Although this breakfast was simple, it had a rich flavor.

There were quite a number of people like Liu Ruyan and Zhang Yuan who made their own food by lighting a fire.

When a gust of wind blew, Liu Ruyan could smell the fragrance of many kinds of food in it.

After having breakfast, Liu Ruyan and Zhang Yuan packed up the things and put them back in the car. Then they walked back to the lobby.

The light in the lobby was still dim. As soon as Liu Ruyan and Zhang Yuan entered the door, they saw many people looking at them.

Being stared at by so many people, Liu Ruyan didn't feel uncomfortable at all. She went back to the corner and sat down again.

People who had gone out to have breakfast came back one after another. After about twenty minutes, Kong Rui finally stood up. "Are all the people back? Then let's start assigning tasks.

I've already inquired. Besides this holiday villa, there are also survivors in the surrounding villages and towns. Your task today is to go out to search for and rescue the survivors and bring them back.

We'll only stay here for two days and set off to go back on time early the morning after tomorrow.

The time is tight, the task is heavy, and the weather is bad. I hope everyone can unite and overcome the difficulties and rescue more compatriots!"

Kong Rui spoke with great enthusiasm, but not many people were really inspired by his words.

As soon as Kong Rui's voice fell, someone stood up. "Captain Kong, we didn't come here to search and rescue. We came here to deal with those wild animals."

The voice was very familiar. It was one of the girls who had made a fuss last night.

"Besides, these people can rob and steal. They seem to be living quite well. There's no need for us to rescue them."

Hearing this, Liu Ruyan cursed "idiot" in her heart.

Being contradicted in public, Kong Rui's tone also became a bit unpleasant. "I know you came to deal with the mutated animals.

I don't know the situation of the mutated animals, but the survivors here do. Later, you can find someone to tell you about the situation by yourselves.

The others, follow me and set off."

After Kong Rui finished speaking, two-thirds of the people he had brought stood up and walked out with him.

Among those who came in private cars, half of them also followed.

It seemed that they were here to search for and rescue the survivors.

There were about twenty or thirty people left, and they were all aiming at the wild animals.

Seeing Kong Rui leave, the remaining people immediately looked at each other in dismay.

They had thought that when they followed here, they just needed to follow behind Kong Rui and others to pick up the leftovers. Now that Kong Rui had taken people to search and rescue, what should they do?

The girl who had just spoken looked around and raised her chin arrogantly. "He doesn't care about us. We'll figure it out by ourselves. There are so many of us. As long as we find someone who knows the situation and asks them to lead the way, the rest will be easy."

Hearing this, someone immediately echoed.

Liu Ruyan had been quietly watching at first, but then the girl suddenly looked in this direction.

"You two, why have you been so quiet? Don't you plan to be with us?"

Liu Ruyan shook her head decisively. "No."

Probably not expecting that Liu Ruyan would refuse so readily, the girl was stunned on the spot and it took her a while to come to her senses.

"No? Do you two want to act alone?"

Liu Ruyan gave her a cold look. "We're not from the same team in the first place, and there's no teamwork involved. What's wrong with acting alone?"

"But there's strength in numbers..."

"Then you have quite a lot of people."

"You!" The girl was so angry that she choked and snorted coldly. "Fine. Since you want to act alone and seek death by yourselves, then just go ahead."

Liu Ruyan was too lazy to waste words with her and stood up directly.

Zhang Yuan followed closely behind, and the two of them walked out together.

After walking out of the lobby, they saw that more than half of the cars in the yard had already left. They should have all followed Kong Rui.

Liu Ruyan and Zhang Yuan went back to their car together and also planned to drive away.

Just then, a black figure quickly ran towards them.

Just by looking at the clothes and appearance, it could be known that he was one of the original survivors here.

Seeing this, Zhang Yuan didn't rush to drive. He looked at Liu Ruyan and asked, "Do you want to hear what he has to say?"

Liu Ruyan nodded. "Let's hear it."

The road was slippery in the snowy day, and there was snow on the ground. Although the person was running not too slowly, his body was staggering all the way. It took him several minutes to run to the side of the car.

He wasn't wearing a mask. Huddled up, with his neck shrunk, there were quite a number of chilblains on the large part of his face that was exposed.

Just by looking at his appearance, it could be known that he was not old, probably only sixteen or seventeen years old.

Zhang Yuan lowered the car window. "What's the matter with you?"

The boy outside pursed his lips and started speaking in a stuttering manner.

"Are you here to kill the wild animals?"

"Yes."

"I... I saw those animals."

"Then tell us about it!"

"They are numerous! There are wild boars! And wolf packs! And hyenas too!"

Zhang Yuan became a bit interested. "How did you recognize them?"
