Chapter Ninety-Eight: Mutant Animals
"I hope that all of you here will strictly abide by the discipline of the army for the rest of the time - obedience, obedience, obedience, and obedience, and don't let me find out that anyone has left the team without permission, otherwise...", the officer in charge of the seventh squad stood on the truck and lectured.
"Xiaorong, do you have to come here every time you do a task?" Luo Longling looked at the impassioned speaker in the car speechlessly.
"Mostly." Mu Rong smiled.
"He reminds me of my high school military training instructors." Luo Longling looked at Mu Rong without tears, feeling a faint pain in her waist.
Mu Rong touched the top of Luo Longling's head comfortingly, and she found that Luo Longling seemed to be a lot more lively after she finished talking to her about her life experience yesterday.
About twenty minutes passed, and the instructor, oh no, it was the officer who ended his lecture and let everyone get into the army truck and start exploring K City.
Their first destination was the wholesale food market, but they didn't encounter any zombies along the way, and it wasn't until they entered the market that they found a few zombies sporadically.
"There are zombies ahead, ready to attack! The Awakened do not make a move, and be vigilant. The officer leading the team said this to protect the food in the wholesale market from the attack of the ability as much as possible.
The number of zombies is too small compared to their group of humans, and they don't even need to drive, and a few power powerhouses wave their weapons a few times, and the zombies will all confess.
Seeing that there were only a few zombies, it was very unreasonable, and the officer who led the team looked around, but found no abnormality, and because of the heavy task, he let everyone start to act.
"Start searching for supplies, be vigilant!"
"Xiaorong, where are you going?"
"Let's go up to the third floor directly, there are basically some frozen foods downstairs, even if they haven't been taken away by the survivors for so long, it is estimated that they will not be able to eat it."
Luo Longling nodded and went up to the third floor with Mu Rong, the third floor happened to be a place for candy and other snacks to wholesale, although it seemed that some had been taken, there was not much excess. And candy and chocolate are high enough calories, so they are extremely advantageous when exchanging credits, and now they have picked up a big bargain.
"Do you want to pack it in a storage bag?" Luo Longling quietly leaned into Mu Rong's ear and asked her.
"You can pretend to eat some of your own, but be careful not to be discovered."
"Okay." Luo Longling silently stuffed candy into the storage bag.
After Mu Rong estimated that Luo Longling's candy was enough for her to eat for a few years, he immediately patted her on the shoulder to stop her and said, "Longling, sugar also has an expiration date." ”
Luo Longling said to Mu Rong in confusion: "I know, but we can use it to exchange for credits, it's too bad for the things collected by the army to be handed over to ninety percent." ”
Why didn't Mu Rong find out that the collected materials could still be used to buy and sell before? Luo Longling was much more shrewd than her when she did the task for the first time.
"Okay, someone is coming up, let's put it in a bag."
"Okay." Hearing this, Luo Longling hurriedly restrained her small movements and put the candy into the snakeskin bag in her hand one by one.
"Brother Liu, the third floor is full of sugar! We're making a fortune! A bald man excitedly rushed towards them with a half-full snakeskin bag.
Sugar is a small thing that is easy to store privately, and the price of exchange is also high, but it is said to be the most popular food.
"Alright, don't shout, I'll call the others later. Hurry up and load it, there shouldn't be anything upstairs, fill the bag and hurry down. The one who was called Brother Liu was a man who was not very strong, and he glanced at Mu Rong and Luo Longling coldly, as if after examining that the two of them were not very threatening, he didn't care about them anymore and took care of himself to fill up the sugar.
Mu Rong had also seen fights over supplies when he was collecting materials before, but now that the supply of goods is very abundant, there is no conflict between the two groups, so Mu Rong just urged Luo Longling to take some more and then prepare to go upstairs to have a look.
After Luo Longling filled the bottom of the bag, she was pulled away by Mu Rong.
"Xiaorong, why don't you pretend more?"
"First, the candy is small in size but not light in weight, if you fill the bag to eight points, I'm afraid that no one will be able to hold it except for the power mutant. Second, I saw that the people who were looting on the first floor were coming, and when the time came, the two of us girls would be angry with these things. Thirdly, as you said, the price of these materials collected by the military is not high, and we don't need to make so much effort for this. Just go upstairs and grab something light. “
Mu Rong's words couldn't be more clear, and with Luo Longling's IQ, he naturally quickly understood what Mu Rong meant, so he followed Mu Rong to the fourth floor.
On the fourth floor, there were more gift boxes of food, and they took a few boxes to look at the expiration date, most of them were still within the expiration date, so they chose some boxes of big things and few things and threw them in the bag to prepare to go to the errand.
"Is there too few survivors in K City? It's quite a big wholesale food market, and there are still so many things left. "Luo Longling used to work in the freezer, and she had heard some strangers say that the task of collecting materials was mostly thankless, because no matter how big or small the place was, as long as there was food, many of them were looted by the local survivors, and occasionally the ones left behind were some quick-frozen foods that were not easy to carry, but when they went to collect them, they all spoiled and smelled. However, in comparison, there is an unexpectedly large amount of food in this K city, either too much storage or too little consumption.
"I don't know, it stands to reason that the city I've seen before is either because there are more zombies than survivors and gradually become a zombie-filled city, or because the survivors have enough strength to defeat the zombies and occupy the city to establish a small private base." Mu Rong thought back to the surrounding cities he had visited, "But I haven't seen many zombies in this K city along the way, it won't be a situation where there are too many zombies, there are so many food supplies left, and it doesn't look like there is a base to search, I really don't know what the situation is." “
"Why aren't there any people on this floor?" Luo Longling dragged the bag to the first floor only to find that there were the most people on the second floor, but there was no one on the first floor except for a few soldiers on guard to search for supplies.
"In our place, the first floor is generally sold some frozen food, so many days, the electricity is gone, I'm afraid these things stink... Stinks?" Mu Rong looked around at the environment on the first floor, only to realize that the first floor did not have the stench she imagined. Due to the improvement of Mu Rong's own five senses, she could indeed smell some rotten stench on the first floor, but it was not strong, and this stench was too light compared to the frozen market that had been out of power for half a year.
