Chapter 1157 - Enjoying Supplies Alone

Translator: Lordbluefire

The place Yun Yao spoke about was one of the nation’s war supplies warehouses.

When war erupted, these supplies would be used. However, World War Three had happened too suddenly with nuclear bombings raining down on various parts of the world. Before many supply warehouses could be opened, they became ‘non-existent’ places where no one knew of them due to the death of those who knew the information.

“Are you certain?”

Sun Mo sat beside Yun Yao. “What is your clue? Can you show it to me?”

“I’ve been searching for five years, what do you think?”

Yun Yao rolled her eyes. After that, she used her fingers to rap her temples. “Clues? It’s here, in my head!”

Sun Mo swept his glance over the map. “You don’t know how to use the carpet-style search method, right?”

“Ah?”

Yun Yao started. (Do I look like a fool that would use such a clumsy method? But how did you manage to guess it correctly in the first instance?)

Sun Mo kneaded his glabella.

(It’s confirmed now. This is a girl with not much intellect!)

“Why are the surroundings of this region marked, but this region isn’t?”

Sun Mo was puzzled.

“Because there are many radiation monsters here!” Yun Yao lay down. “The very strong type!”

These radiation monsters consisted of humans and animals. After they were affected by radiation, they started mutating and after reproduction, new species appeared.

They were extremely lethal.

“Do you know what the buildings here are?”

Sun Mo continued to ask.

Yun Yao had seriously investigated it before. She spoke in a clear and logical manner, “This was a large stretch of commercial buildings, and there was also the largest city park of this city!”

“What about the terrain?”

Sun Mo touched his chest and contemplated.

“Terrain?”

Yun Yao didn’t quite understand.

Sun Mo could only change his wording. “The geographical direction of this city. Where is the high ground, where is the low ground? Do you know? If you don’t, what about the places that wouldn’t easily collect water when it rains?”

“Eh? I think this business district is precisely one of those places that wouldn’t collect well. This is partially the reason why it was segregated as the business district right at the beginning.”

Yun Yao recalled all the information she checked before.

“Sleep earlier!” Sun Mo suggested.

“Why?” Yun Yao surveyed Sun Mo suspiciously.

“We should head out earlier tomorrow.”

Sun Mo didn’t care about the radiation monsters or whatnot.

On the second morning, the two of them got ready and were preparing to set off. However, Sun Mo was unsatisfied.

“Just these?”

The girl’s equipment was too simple. Sun Mo shook his head when he saw this. “Where can we get some equipment of better quality? We best not use this type of broken rifle with a rubber belt.”

“Elder Brother Zhang has them!”

Yun Yao fastened her collar. “But I won’t purchase them.”

“It’s fine if I’m the one purchasing, right?”

Sun Mo went to find Elder Brother Zhang.

Surprisingly, Elder Brother Zhang was an uncle that was over 40 years old. He looked very scholarly and was wearing glasses. He actually gave off the feel of an educated scum.

“You want to head to that business district?”

After Elder Brother Zhang heard Sun Mo’s words, he got a subordinate to lead them to the weapon warehouse. “Bring them there and let him pick what he wants!”

…

“Let’s go!”

After leaving the room, Sun Mo dragged Yun Yao along.

“Eh? Elder Brother Zhang is so easy to talk to?”

Yun Yao couldn’t understand.

“I promised him we will give him two-thirds of the spoils when we found the supplies warehouse.”

Sun Mo explained.

“What?”

Yun Yao immediately acted like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. She jumped up. “That is my supplies warehouse, you thief!”

“It belongs to everyone now!”

Sun Mo shrugged.

Yun Yao hugged a rifle in her arms and had a handgun attached to her waist. After her bags were filled with ammunition clips, bullets, and grenades, Yun Yao felt that Sun Mo was actually too generous.

“We should just give the entire warehouse to Elder Brother Zhang if we find it.”

Two-thirds? One must know that the supplies warehouse might not even be real or be found. But the weapons they were currently holding now were real.

…

The two of them arrived at the business district. Because they were worried that the engine sound would draw the radiation monsters to them, they chose to disembark and walk on foot.

They cautiously went into a park.

“Where should we start from?”

Yun Yao was very eager.

“Construction office!”

“Huh?”

Yun Yao was dumbfounded. Sun Mo’s reply was unexpected.

“We should try our luck at the construction office and see if we can find the blueprints of these buildings. This is especially so for the blueprint for the park. If not, even if we busy ourselves to death, it would be useless.”

Sun Mo had wanted to mock Yun Yao for how naive she was. A supplies reserve warehouse was a war secret. (An ordinary person like you want to find it? Are you dreaming?)

“I think we won’t be able to go there anymore.”

Yun Yao shifted her weapon and placed the rifle butt on her chest as she took aim.

Sun Mo turned his head and saw a few radiation monsters appearing from the forest.

These monsters had the form of humans. They were roughly 1.5 meters tall and their four limbs were on the ground. They moved by crawling. Their skin was like toads with numerous ugly-looking warts on them. They had no hair and looked like they had been scalded by boiling water. Their appearances were very scary.

Yun Yao prepared to fire, but she was pulled by Sun Mo as he ran away.

“If you fire, you will attract even more monsters!”

Sun Mo was preparing to head to the air-raid shelter.

If they were underground, the echoes caused by gunshots should be lower in volume.

The speed of the radiation monsters was very quick. Sun Mo was forced to run at full speed. Luckily, Yun Yao’s stamina wasn’t bad either.

It was a pity that although his idea was good, the reality was cruel.

The radiation monsters were simply too quick. Sun Mo had no solution and could only pull out a dagger and turn to fight with them.

“You should continue running. I’ll stay here to deal with them!”

Under the sky that was covered densely with dark clouds, a mixture of rain and snow began to fall.

“Are you crazy?”

After Yun Yao shouted, she saw Sun Mo clashing against the closest radiation monster. At the next instant, a dagger pierced into its eyes. Sun Mo forcefully wrung his hands, and fresh blood sprayed out. Sun Mo then kicked the first radiation monster away as he welcomed the attack from the second one.

“I...is this something humans can do?”

Yun Yao was dumbstruck.

Five minutes later, Sun Mo sat in a river of blood as he panted. The six radiation monsters lay around him in a mutilated state.

“Let me deal the finishing blow!”

Yun Yao grinned.

“Wait!”

Sun Mo could see a child radiation monster staring at him with tears in its eyes. (Is it crying?)

“Do they still have human awareness?”

“I don’t think so?”

Yun Yao had no idea. “In any case, to radiation monsters, humans are their main course!”

Right now, Sun Mo was clueless and could only try everything in a desperate situation. He opened a can of food and moved closer to the young radiation monster.

“I can treat your wounds!” Sun Mo pointed to its bleeding wound. “You can have this can of food to eat. But you have to give this thing to me!”

Sun Mo showed his rifle to the radiation monster.

“Don’t you feel you are very foolish?”

Yun Yao’s lips twitched.

(As expected, he’s a man with looks but no brains. What a pity.)

Sun Mo repeated his words five times and passed the can of food to the monster. After that, he started to dress its wounds.

At the start, the radiation monster tried to evade and resist. But after smelling the fragrance of the canned food and eating a mouthful of it, it relaxed its vigilance and began to fully immerse itself in eating.

Sun Mo waited patiently.

A few minutes later, the radiation monster finished eating. It then stared at Sun Mo.

Sun Mo took out another can of food. “If you can find a gun, I’ll give you this!”

The radiation monster turned and ran away.

“Follow it!”

Sun Mo urged.

“Huh?”

Yun Yao felt that doing this was too risky. (Are you not afraid of entering the nest of the radiation monsters?)

Maybe it was due to the care by the goddess of luck, Sun Mo had gambled correctly this time around.

Because this city had been bombed before, there were large holes and cracks in some places.

Sun Mo and Yun Yao followed the radiation monster and entered an underground cave. After moving for a certain distance, they entered an underground drainpipe and finally found the supplies warehouse through a collapsed hole.

“Oh yay, we struck it rich!”

Looking at the huge warehouse with numerous large wooden chests stacked neatly, Yun Yao cheered. She rushed to the nearest wooden chest and pried it open with brute force.

The wooden chest was stacked with cotton and had some metal boxes in it. Yun Yao opened one and saw that it was filled with bullets.

“Beautiful!”

Yun Yao whistled and made a thorough search here.

“Wow, there are even military rations here!”

Yun Yao impatiently opened a pack and started to feast. After eating a few mouthfuls, she praised loudly. “The taste is so good!”

“You better keep your voice down!”

Sun Mo wasn’t in a hurry to count the spoils. Instead, he first grabbed a machine gun and filled the magazine.

“Don’t worry, there’s only us here!” Yun Yao was very happy, “We can enjoy these supplies alone!”

“You have forgotten about the radiation monsters?”

Sun Mo wanted to roll his eyes. “Even a young monster can find this place. Tell me, do you think that the adult monsters who had lived even longer here wouldn’t know about this place?”

“Eh?”

Yun Yao no longer dared to treat this lightly. She hurriedly armed herself and involuntarily snuck quite a few glances at Sun Mo.

(Truly, a man with intelligence! He could be qualified to be my boyfriend!)

Their harvest this time around was very good. Weapons, bullets, rations, and medicine were stored in excess here. Sun Mo even found a tank, but it could no longer be activated due to the lack of maintenance for so many years.

“We should leave!”

Sun Mo found two combat field packs and after filling them with items, he retreated via their original route here.

“Say, should we tell Elder Brother Zhang that we succeeded?”

Yun Yao was in conflict.

Humans should be honest, but these weapons were all extremely valuable.

“Other than you, will the others be able to find this place?”

Sun Mo counter-asked.

“They tried before but had no clues so everyone gave up.”

Yun Yao smiled. “Boss Tang Qiao has even said before that the person who found this supplies reserve warehouse could become his number two person!”

“What about Elder Brother Zhang?”

Sun Mo frowned.

“He only likes to solve questions and has no interest with regards to these.”

After Yun Yao finished speaking, she discovered that Sun Mo had fallen silent.

The two of them returned to the base that was at the subway station. They went to look for Elder Brother Zhang to return the weapons.

“How are the results?”

Elder Brother Zhang looked at Yun Yao.

“Eh!”

Yun Yao was a cheerful girl that wasn’t proficient in lying. Moreover, Elder Brother Zhang had always taken good care of her. So, she felt awkward now and didn’t know how to reply.

“Are you done with the mathematical questions?”

Sun Mo interrupted.

“The inheritance of knowledge will promote the advance of humans!”

Elder Brother Zhang lifted his spectacles. “If we have more knowledge, humans would be able to thrive once again.”

“Do those radiation monsters still have remnants of humanity and rationality?” Sun Mo asked.

“After all, some of them used to be humans. It isn’t strange for them to have some human-like characteristics,” Elder Brother Zhang explained.

“I heard Yun Yao said that you are the one who told everyone about the warehouse?”

Sun Mo had many questions.

Elder Brother Zhang wasn’t angry, but his subordinate at the side could no longer bear to watch. He directly roared at Sun Mo, “Hey, outsider. Please mind your attitude!”

“Alright, you should leave first!”

Elder Brother Zhang instructed his subordinate. After his subordinate closed the door, Elder Brother Zhang looked at Yun Yao. “You guys found the supplies warehouse?”

Yun Yao nodded. She snuck a glance at Elder Brother Zhang and discovered that he wasn’t shocked at all.

“As expected, you didn’t disappoint me!”

Elder Brother Zhang smiled. He personally stood up and poured two cups of coffee for Yun Yao and Sun Mo.

“Wow! Coffee!”

Yun Yao took the cup of coffee and bowed hurriedly. “Thank you, Elder Brother Zhang!”

Yet, Sun Mo’s pupils narrowed violently and he almost pulled out his gun.
