70: Collecting supplies

There was no use saying anything more now. Su Mianmian threw the little dragon into a mountain, letting it roam freely and vent its inexhaustible energy.

Once everything in the space was resolved, Su Mianmian finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"book book, I'll leave these vegetables to you."

"Don't let the little dragon destroy my vegetables again in the future."

"Give it a restriction, so it can't go near these crops."

Su Mianmian looked at the vegetables on the ground, her heart aching.

After giving thorough instructions to book book, she flashed away from this sad place.

Back in her room, Su Mianmian couldn't sleep, so she simply practiced her abilities.

Upgrading abilities means exhausting the original ability, and slowly, the accumulation of ability will increase.

Some people dare not completely exhaust their abilities, but Su Mianmian had no such fear.

She knew to what extent her abilities could be improved.

If anyone were to enter her room, they would find many vines inside.

Su Mianmian retracted her ability and picked up the spirit spring water beside her, chugging it down.

After drinking, she let out a sigh of relief.

Opening her eyes, she saw the furniture destroyed by the vines and was stunned.

Su Mianmian raised her hand and patted her head, a look of reluctance to face it on her face.

She got up and out of bed, silently starting to clean.

Clothes not put into the wardrobe were scattered everywhere, and cups, decorations, and other items had also fallen to the ground, shattered into pieces.

Su Mianmian was glad the soundproofing was good, otherwise, if they heard the sound of breaking glass, they would definitely rush in.

After she finished cleaning, she yawned and collapsed onto the bed, falling asleep.

She was just too tired, too tired.

Su Mianmian was woken by a "bang" of a gunshot. She sat up abruptly, searching for the source of the sound.

After searching fruitlessly, Su Mianmian put on her shoes, deciding to go out and ask the others.

She walked into the living room and found Shi Xu and the others there. She yawned, her face full of sleepiness, and said, "What just happened?

I seemed to hear a gunshot?"

Su Mianmian unconsciously sat down next to Shi Xu. Seeing her so natural, Shi Xu couldn't help but let the corners of his mouth curl up slightly, revealing an expression of good mood.

Su Jinxuan saw this scene and said nothing. He liked to see Su Mianmian and Shi Xu getting along well.

Although sometimes he would get jealous.

"The people opposite, for some crazy reason, fired a shot at the tenth floor on our side."

"There shouldn't be any casualties."

"It's just a deterrent."

Xu Qing had been staring at the surveillance, so he had the most right to speak.

Su Mianmian nodded upon hearing this.

She didn't know what was going on with those people opposite. She frowned, feeling a little unhappy.

"If only we had installed surveillance over there too."

"Now the enemy is hidden, and we have no idea what they want to do."

Su Jinxuan unconsciously clenched his fist, saying with an annoyed expression.

Su Mianmian nodded, fully agreeing with him.

If there had been surveillance over there too, they could have known a little about those people's movements and plans.

"The biggest leader should be here with us."

"This is the place that should be paid the most attention to."

Shi Xu saw Su Mianmian and Su Jinxuan looking unhappy. He suppressed a smile and reminded them.

Su Mianmian looked at Shi Xu suspiciously, stating, "You know something, don't you?"

Shi Xu nodded, not hiding anything.

He relayed the news that his informants had sent up today.

In two days, that biggest leader would bring some people over.

After that, some powerful and influential people, and those with abilities, would arrive in succession.

Su Mianmian shook her head. Those ordinary people without power, influence, or abilities would definitely have difficulty coming over. The military wouldn't send so many people to escort them.

High cost was one aspect, and another was that it was not easy to cultivate a well-trained team now.

Weighing the pros and cons was something everyone would subconsciously do.

Su Mianmian had no right to blame them; she just felt that the apocalypse was truly eliminating some people.

"They will probably live on the top floor."

"Since we are so special here, will we be the first to be noticed?"

Su Jinxuan raised his hand to support his chin, deep in thought.

He felt that they would definitely be noticed, but he just didn't know if there would be any conflict.

If there really was a conflict, and those people outnumbered them, what should they do?

Su Jinxuan felt like his head was about to explode from thinking.

"Probably not."

"At most, they'll want to recruit us."

"As for conflict, if we don't actively cause them trouble, they probably won't bother us either."

Shi Xu shook his head, saying with certainty.

Su Mianmian looked at Shi Xu's confident eyes, but she didn't quite understand where he got all this confidence.

Perhaps sensing Su Mianmian's confusion, Shi Xu explained, "Their most important task now is to solve the housing and food problems. After finding a suitable place to live, their next plan should be to search for supplies."

Shi Xu's words meant that they probably wouldn't have time to deal with their special circumstances.

Those people were having trouble even eating now; they wouldn't have time to bother with them at all.

Su Mianmian understood Shi Xu's subtext. She nodded and said nothing more.

The external threats were too severe now, and Su Mianmian's original plan to go out and search for supplies was put on hold.

Thinking of this, she felt a little disappointed.

Now was the most suitable time to go out and search for supplies, but they couldn't go out.

Shi Xu noticed the disappointment on Su Mianmian's face and couldn't help but ask, "Mianmian, what are you thinking about?"

Without thinking, Su Mianmian told him about her regret at not being able to go out and collect supplies.

Shi Xu said nothing after hearing it, but that evening he called Su Mianmian out.

When Su Mianmian came out, she found that besides Shi Xu, Xu Qing, Xu Huan, and Su Jinxuan were also there.

She looked at them with a puzzled expression, not understanding what they were going to do.

"I heard what you said today, and I also think now is the best time to collect supplies, so we'll start acting tonight."

"The people over there are too active during the day, and the danger factor is too high, so we'll operate at night for the next few days."

Shi Xu explained.

When Su Mianmian heard it was about collecting supplies, her eyes immediately lit up.

She took out a map and handed it to Shi Xu.

It marked all the locations and types of supplies.

The ones she marked in red were the places they should go to first.

"Does this ice storage still have electricity to support its operation now?"

"We won't get there and find all the meat spoiled, will we?"

Xu Qing saw Su Mianmian mark an ice storage in red and couldn't help but ask doubtfully.

Seeing his doubt, Su Mianmian explained, "Large ice storages will definitely have precautions for sudden power outages.

If we go to the ice storage now, the meat inside will definitely still be good."

She was very certain, and Xu Qing no longer questioned it.

Shi Xu decided to go to the ice storage first, and the others would go tomorrow night.

Su Mianmian and the others agreed. They changed into raincoats and rain boots and left.

The rain wasn't heavy now, and the wind wasn't strong, so it was perfect for going out.

When they reached the sixth floor, Shi Xu took out the inflatable boat. Xu Qing and Su Jinxuan skillfully inflated it.

Xu Huan was on alert at the stairwell.

Shi Xu and Su Mianmian, meanwhile, quietly discussed their route of action for a moment.

Su Mianmian realized that on their way to the ice storage, they would pass a supermarket.

She thought they could casually collect the supplies inside the supermarket on their way back.

Shi Xu nodded, indicating his agreement.

The inflatable boat was thrown into the water, and Xu Qing and the others jumped in one by one.

When it was Su Mianmian's turn, she no longer felt the initial fear and jumped down without thinking.

Soon, the inflatable boat headed towards the ice storage.

The ice storage wasn't very far from where they were currently living. It might take about an hour by car, but Su Mianmian didn't know how long it would take by boat.

Especially since she didn't know if they would encounter anything urgent on the way, Su Mianmian could only hope that nothing would happen now.

They hadn't encountered anything halfway through their journey, and just as Su Mianmian thought it would be smooth sailing, an accident occurred.
