212: Did Lu Yu bring back a bandit?

When Jiang Fei saw Lu Yu leading her to the -3rd floor, her suspended heart finally gave up hope, and she tactfully said, "That's a restricted area, outsiders are forbidden. It wouldn't be good for us to go."

"I'm not an outsider. If I'm not mistaken, the -3rd floor is Night's warehouse, filled with a lot of gold and good equipment that you can't find outside."

He came to Underground City to help his neighbor upgrade and to get some supplies.

He had risked his life for Night for several years, and the last mission he completed before the apocalypse was never paid for by the organization. He considered it his compensation.

As soon as she heard about gold, Jiang Fei pulled out two bandit-specific masks: "Should we wear them now or later?"

Lu Yu couldn't help but laugh: "No need for disguise. From what I know about the organization, they won't send people to guard the -3rd floor."

"We just need to be careful not to be seen."

As Lu Yu said, the entrance to the -3rd floor was empty, with only a tightly closed anti-theft password door.

Survivors all lived on the -1st floor and rarely came down. Organization members on the -2nd floor wouldn't break the rules and run around.

Moreover, the restricted area was on the lowest floor. To escape from there, one would need to pass through two floors.

If the alarm sounded, people on the -2nd floor could catch the thief.

So, it wasn't worth wasting manpower to guard the -3rd floor.

Gray Rat had a bad memory and liked to use one password until he died. Lu Yu entered the organization's previous warehouse's 6-digit password.

Beep—the door opened.

It perfectly illustrated what it meant to guard against outsiders day and night, but an internal thief is hard to guard against.

After closing the door, Lu Yu and Jiang Fei walked down.

The -3rd floor consisted of 5 huge warehouses and 2 hydroponic rooms.

The warehouse doors were labeled with signs for food, weapons, equipment, jewelry, and drinking water.

The hydroponic rooms grew vegetables, fruits, and ornamental plants.

The two didn't plan to take food or drinking water, so they went to the nearest equipment warehouse first.

Hundreds of large shelves were neatly arranged in the warehouse.

Each shelf had a label indicating the item category, making it easy to find things.

"This is a constant temperature suit developed by the organization. It can adjust the temperature according to your body temperature. One of these is enough for temperatures from minus fifty degrees Celsius to plus fifty degrees Celsius."

"Besides that, it's also knife-proof and puncture-proof."

The clothes Lu Yu held were very thin, similar to close-fitting thermal underwear.

Jiang Fei touched the clothes; they were soft and smooth, she didn't know what fabric it was.

Embarrassed to take too much, Jiang Fei only took one-tenth.

There were a total of 20 sets for women and 30 sets for men.

Whenever he encountered good things, Lu Yu would have Jiang Fei put them into the Supermarket warehouse.

These were all diving, gas mask, and protective equipment.

Jiang Fei didn't take gasoline, diesel, bullets, or other supplies.

She had plenty of these and didn't need to exploit Underground City.

After ransacking the equipment warehouse, the two went to the adjacent weapon warehouse, only choosing tear gas, crossbows, maces, stink bombs, pepper spray guns, and foam guns that they didn't have.

Finally, they headed straight for the jewelry warehouse.

Finding the shelf with gold bricks, Jiang Fei put them all into the Supermarket.

[Ding—Gold detected: 30,000,000 grams]

This trip was worth it!

Seeing the happy smile on Jiang Fei's face, Lu Yu also unconsciously curved his lips.

When his neighbor was happy, he was happy.

To avoid anyone discovering that items were missing from the warehouse, Jiang Fei and Lu Yu quickly rushed to the -1st floor, preparing to drive away.

However, upon reaching the parking lot, they saw Xiao Chuxia standing outside the RV's door, crying uncontrollably.

The two middle-aged people surrounding her also had red eyes from crying.

The man wore a complete suit, his chiseled face showing signs of his former handsomeness.

The woman wore a simple gray tracksuit, her appearance gentle, her eyebrows almost an exact replica of Xiao Chuxia's.

Jiang Fei: "Chu Xia, who are they?"

"My parents."

Xiao Chuxia sniffled, then added: "Dad, Mom, this is Miss Jiang Fei, who I told you about."

"And this is Lu Yu, Brother Lu."

Xiao's father and Xiao's mother excitedly shook their hands.

"Thank you for always taking care of my daughter. Before the apocalypse, we were abroad. We rushed back with great difficulty but couldn't find Chu Xia in Yulan Garden. We thought something had happened to her, but we didn't expect her to be rescued by you."

"Chu Xia has been pampered since she was little and has a bad temper. She must have caused you a lot of trouble along the way. Tonight, I'll treat you to a simple meal."

"No need, Uncle and Auntie. We are friends with Chu Xia, you don't need to be so polite." Jiang Fei was not used to interacting with strangers and withdrew her hand.

"Uncle and Auntie, are you coming with us?"

If they didn't run now, Gu Yunshan's people would arrive soon.

Xiao's father and Xiao's mother exchanged glances, unsure what to say.

It was Xiao Chuxia who took a deep breath and firmly said, "Miss, I've decided to stay in Underground City."

She had unexpectedly met her parents on the way back.

Afraid that Miss wouldn't find her, she brought her family to the parking lot.

Finally reunited, they shared all their experiences and longing from the past year.

Her parents thought she had died in the natural disaster, so they left Lincheng and, by chance, came to Changhai.

Her father was a businessman and brought back many supplies when he returned to the country. He donated half to Underground City in exchange for a residency quota.

Her mother, formerly a medical professor, had now joined Underground City's medical research institute, saying they were recruiting staff there.

Underground City had complete equipment and instruments, and was currently researching drugs that could resist all bacteria and viruses.

If it truly succeeded, humanity would no longer have to fear unknown viruses.

She couldn't rely on Miss for her entire life.

Everything she experienced at the Safety Shelter Hospital made her want to grow even more and do something practical for everyone.

Only then could she better protect Miss and her friends.

Jiang Fei was silent for a moment, choosing to respect Xiao Chuxia's decision: "You haven't even taken your luggage. I'll go to the car to pack supplies for you."

"My parents have everything." Xiao Chuxia hugged Jiang Fei:

"Miss, thank you for bringing me here and reuniting me with my parents."

"From now on, I have to walk my own path."

Jiang Fei habitually ruffled Xiao Chuxia's hair without speaking.

She believed that separation was for a better reunion next time.

Lu Yu: "Jiang Fei, you stay with Chu Xia and them for a bit, I'm going to find Brother Gu."

If Xiao Chuxia was staying in Underground City, then he and his neighbor couldn't just leave.

They had taken so many things from the -3rd floor, they had to explain it clearly to Gu Yunshan.

To avoid causing misunderstandings and trouble for Xiao Chuxia's family, and also to ask Gu Yunshan to take care of them.

After Lu Yu left, Xiao's father and Xiao's mother also found an excuse to leave.

Soon, the two returned carrying large and small bags.

They were fresh vegetables, fruits, drinking water, and medicine.

Xiao's mother: "Fei Fei, this is a small token of our appreciation. Take it for your journey, please don't be shy with us."

"You've taken care of Chu Xia for so long, I really don't know how to thank you."

Xiao's father: "Chu Xia said you're with the Rescue Team at the Safety Shelter in Qingyang City."

"Always pay attention to safety when on missions. Don't sacrifice your own life to save others. Between duty and living, living is more important."

Xiao's mother: "That's right, when a person dies, everything is gone. The world is not peaceful now, you can only take care of yourself."

After thanking them, Xiao's father and Xiao's mother started chatting with Jiang Fei, one after another.

Xiao Chuxia also joined in, chattering away.

Jiang Fei sighed inwardly.

She finally understood who Xiao Hua Lao was like.

This whole family could talk a lot!

Nearly half an hour later, Lu Yu returned, and Jiang Fei finally found an opportunity to escape: "Is Brother Gu angry?"

"No, he said those supplies were given to us, and he also promised to take good care of Chu Xia's family."

"However, as punishment for me entering the restricted area, if Underground City has any missions that cannot be completed in the future, I have to come back and help."

"I gave Brother Gu my address; if anything happens, he'll send someone to find me."

Jiang Fei couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

No wonder Gu Yunshan could be the boss; he wasn't petty and was generous and open-handed!

But the next second, she heard Lu Yu say.

"Let's hurry and go. I didn't tell Brother Gu exactly how many supplies we took."

Jiang Fei: "..."

She retracted her previous thought.

After bidding farewell to Xiao Chuxia's family, leaving behind a special walkie-talkie given by Mo Yanan and a few weapons, Jiang Fei and Lu Yu drove away in the RV.

At this moment, on the -3rd floor of Underground City.

Gu Yunshan, who had come to check on the missing supplies, felt his blood pressure rise.

Especially after seeing that the gold bricks in the jewelry vault were gone, Gu Yunshan pinched his philtrum.

Did Xiao Yu bring back a bandit?!

Not a single gold brick was left!

With so many things, how did they manage to move them away without anyone knowing???

Suddenly, someone ran down.

"Big Brother, something happened! The warning system went off!"
