35: Chapter 35: Searching for Supplies, Enjoying Life

[Obtained Bronze Treasure Chest × 1]

Captain Qin Hao watched as the Spaceship automatically picked up items. He felt relieved as he retrieved the treasure chest.

He discovered that a hatch would open at the bottom of the Spaceship, and with a flash of light, things would be swept inside. It was truly high-tech.

Finally, after fighting for so long, the zombies in this area gradually went silent.

Captain Qin Hao realized they had wiped out a total of seventy or eighty zombies in this sector.

He quickly said, "Since there are no zombies left for now, some of you stay behind to guard. The rest will split into two teams to search for supplies and treasure chests."

"We don't have much time left."

"I'll take some of those who haven't been out yet. Counselor, you and Chen Xiao take another team."

Ultimately, after everyone discussed it...

Captain Qin Hao took the hunter girl Xu Wanqing, the class beauty Leng Shi, the ditzy sisters Bai Ruoxi and Bai Ruoyao, and Bai Xueer—a total of six people.

Counselor Rao Shuqing took the School Beauty Lin Mengyao, Su Nian, League Branch Secretary Chen Xiao, as well as the Healer Zhao Zihan, the weapon crafter Lu Shuang, and the Life Committee Member Life Commissioner Xu Jiajia—a total of seven people.

Both teams were relatively balanced and included many newcomers.

Captain Qin Hao possessed the strongest combat power, True Sight Eye, and Danger Perception. He could lead the entire team by himself.

Rao Shuqing's Prophet talent could avoid danger, Su Nian was a lucky star who could find treasure chests, Lin Mengyao could control animals and spirits to protect everyone, Chen Xiao could transform into a Strength Giant, and Zhao Zihan could provide Healing. Their group was definitely steady and safe.

He also authorized Li Mengmeng and Ling Xiaoke to stay behind and protect the Spaceship.

Ling Xiaoke puffed out her cheeks. She actually wanted to go out, but she knew protecting the Spaceship was also important, and her talent wasn't very useful outside anyway.

"Once Great King Xiaoke researches inner armor or full armor, you guys better come begging me for some," she hummed.

Li Mengmeng didn't mind. She was used to handling logistics on the Spaceship and liked the job of protecting it.

Immediately, Captain Qin Hao's two teams headed in two different directions, striving to scavenge quickly.

On Captain Qin Hao's side, he looked at Bai Ruoxi and her sister and said, "You two ditzy girls, don't run off. Follow my orders, understood? Otherwise, you'll be in for a rough time."

Bai Ruoxi nodded obediently. She didn't dare run off; if there were zombies, she didn't know if she could beat them.

Captain Qin Hao still had a bit of a headache. Out of their group of six, four were newcomers who needed training. He felt the hunter girl and Leng Shi were fine, but the ditzy sisters needed more looking after.

The only relatively experienced one was Leng Shi, but she was a girl who didn't like to talk. Sooner or later, he would use the influence of love to make her more talkative.

At this moment, Captain Qin Hao kept his True Sight Eye active.

[A collapsed house; there might be rotten food inside]

[A dry well; there might be a dead person inside]

[An uninhabited house; no supplies]

Seeing that there was nothing good nearby, he continued walking with the girls.

With the help of True Sight Eye, his speed was extremely fast. He skipped exploring any place without supplies.

...

On the other side, with Rao Shuqing's Prophet talent, the team she led had only walked a kilometer before Su Nian picked up a treasure chest.

Then, Lin Mengyao controlled an eagle to scout the way for them, making the journey extremely smooth.

Any zombies that attacked were shot dead by them.

For some of the more powerful zombies, Chen Xiao directly transformed into a Strength Giant and cut them down with two strikes.

...

Captain Qin Hao looked at the information from True Sight Eye, lost in thought.

[A former shop; there might be good things inside]

Have they reached a shop already? The place they started at should have been on the outskirts of the small town.

In games, supplies are usually concentrated in bustling areas—ideally government buildings, schools, shops, and supermarkets. That meant he wasn't far from the core.

As Captain Qin Hao opened the shop, two zombies suddenly lunged out from inside, charging at him.

[Two Level 1 low-grade zombies; their weakness is the head]

Without hesitation, Captain Qin Hao swung his large machete, blowing their heads apart in two moves and conveniently collecting the energy cores.

"Let's go, search inside."

Captain Qin Hao led the girls inside. In the shop, things were scattered randomly on the floor, likely from being looted. However, there was still some stock left, and even some food in the back warehouse.

There were various snacks, some frozen food, and even cigarettes.

Although Captain Qin Hao didn't smoke, he could put them up for trade in the lobby. With so many smokers on Blue Star, they would definitely be in high demand.

Bai Ruoyao said in surprise, "Wow, so many snacks, so much food! Now we don't have to eat fish meat every day."

Xu Wanqing was also delighted to see so much food; these were all unopened.

There were potato chips, bread, ice cream, bottled water, candy, and even spicy strips!

Bai Xueer's eyes lit up. "Wow, there are even spicy strips! I'm salivating just looking at them!"

Captain Qin Hao also smiled. "You little gluttons, hurry up and pack these snacks. We'll scavenge the next stop in a bit; it's best to find a supermarket."

At that moment, Captain Qin Hao's True Sight Eye gave him feedback.

[There is a hidden compartment in the floor, a place where private savings were kept; there might be a treasure chest]

He paused for a moment, then quickly stepped forward to a corner of the checkout counter and smashed the wooden floorboards with his blade.

Then, he saw that inside were many silver fragments and a pile of unknown banknotes. Most importantly, there was a Bronze Treasure Chest!

[Obtained Bronze Treasure Chest × 1]

"Hahaha, heaven is on my side. Arriving early feels great," Captain Qin Hao said happily.

With the help of True Sight Eye, he had found a treasure chest so quickly. This was a very good start.

The girls who were collecting supplies also widened their eyes. This worked? What kind of luck was this, to even find a hidden money stash?

Leng Shi also noticed the anomaly. She felt more and more that Captain Qin Hao was a chosen one; this luck was unparalleled.

Captain Qin Hao was also slightly smug.

Seeing that Bai Ruoyao and the others were almost drooling, Captain Qin Hao smiled and said, "Eat whatever you want quickly, finish it up, and then we head to the next stop."

"Ruoyao, you girl, your drool is turning into a river."

Hearing Captain Qin Hao say this, they were suddenly extremely embarrassed. Was it that obvious?

Immediately, they stopped hesitating and began to find the snacks they liked.

Captain Qin Hao also grabbed two bags of spicy strips and began to taste them. They were truly delicious.

"So good, so good, it's just too delicious. Wuwu, it's been so long since I've eaten something this tasty," Bai Ruoyao exclaimed while eating, a bag of chips in her left hand and spicy strips in her right.

Captain Qin Hao walked over and pinched her collagen-filled little face, teasing, "If you eat this much, you'll turn into a pig. Our Spaceship won't be able to afford to keep you."

"Hahaha, Piggy Yao."

Bai Xueer also teased her, thinking of the character Yao from Honor of Kings.

Bai Ruoyao said huffily, "I'm not a pig! This is nothing. Before, I had to eat snacks every day."

Bai Ruoxi also said helplessly, "Our room was piled full of snacks by her. She could reach them just by lying in bed. She really can eat."

Bai Ruoyao questioned, "Oh come on, Sister, you clearly ate even more than me!"

Captain Qin Hao quickly put the scavenged snacks into his system space.

Then he said, "Let's go. We need to find a supermarket quickly. If there are enough snacks by then, I'll be merciful and let you pile them up in your room on the Spaceship too, alright? Let you enjoy life a bit."

Bai Ruoyao's eyes immediately sparkled. If she could fill her room with snacks, that would be too amazing.

This wasn't survival; this was just moving to a different place to enjoy life!

However, Captain Qin Hao had one more sentence he didn't say: Since you're enjoying life, it shouldn't be a problem for me to enjoy life a bit too, right?
