Title: A Fake Holy Mother in the Zombie Apocalypse

Chapter 257 - This was something that she had burned a long time ago (2)
There was a supermarket near the bank. The supermarket doors were open, and the shelves were empty. Other survivors had taken away all the useful things a long time ago, especially the food. There was nothing left.
Lu Xingchi had nimbly cleared out the zombies on the road, and now he cleared out the supermarket.
The skinny man was no longer shocked. He obediently followed the team without saying anything.
As expected, although the food on the shelves in the supermarket were gone, the warehouse door was still securely locked.
Lu Xingchi glanced at the skinny man, borrowed the crowbar from Bei Nuan, and went through the motions of knocking the crowbar on the door frame.
The door easily opened.
The warehouse was packed with stuff, and boxes of all sizes were stacked up in large piles.
Tang Tang patted the skinny man's shoulder and said, "Bro, let's get to work."
The space in the minivan was limited, so they had to choose the most important food items such as rice, noodles, salt, sugar, and canned foods.
While the guys were busy searching for supplies to transport back to the base, Bei Nuan was busy with her own stuff.
First, she replenished the team's food and daily necessities. She was very picky about the items she chose. After that, she silently looked around for snacks.
Lu Xingchi wasn't far away, and he seemed to be looking for something too.
Bei Nuan saw that he was ignoring the boxes of canned dace fish and luncheon meat. He was seriously rummaging through the boxes. What was he looking for?
Curious, Bei Nuan surreptitiously poked her head over to look around. Just as she was about to ask him what he was looking for, she saw him calmly putting a few small boxes into his backpack.
Du Ruo had good eyesight. He was nearby and saw those boxes too. He solemnly nodded and said, "It's definitely necessary to prepare that. At a time like this, not using it can lead to life-threatening consequences. How about having Bei Nuan store a few boxes too?"
Bei Nuan had already gotten a good look at those boxes. She felt awkward.
Lu Xingchi's expression was as calm as ever. He wasn't blushing at all and offered a box to Bei Nuan.
He glanced at Bei Nuan's expression and nonchalantly said, "Take your brain out of the gutter. Have you never seen a nature survival show? This thing can store water and can be used as a temporary water container. It's elastic and can be used as a simple tourniquet. It also can be used as a waterproof case for a phone. After blowing it up as a balloon, you can put it inside your clothes to make a temporary life jacket. It has a lot of uses."
Bei Nuan silently put the box into her pocket space while thinking - you said so many uses in one breath and put on a serious face and dignified attitude, so why were you so shifty earlier?
They filled the minivan with as much stuff as possible before driving back.
The skinny man was crammed into the backseat with a heap of flour sacks and would constantly touch the sacks. He was extremely excited.
Soon, they returned to the spot where the search team had parked their vehicles. Their vehicles were there, but they hadn't returned yet.
After waiting a long time, two teams came back on foot. Some people were carrying full backpacks, and others only had half-filled backpacks.
Captain Zhang was supporting a young man in addition to carrying a backpack.
The young man had his arm over Captain Zheng's shoulder and kept the weight off one foot.
When the two teams saw Lu Xingchi and the others leisurely waiting in the minivan, they were stunned.
"Injured?" Lu Xingchi got out of the minivan.
"He jumped from a second floor balcony to avoid zombies. He probably has a bone fracture," Captain Zheng briefly explained.
The young man said, "If Captain Zheng hadn't come forward to save me and carried me back, I would have been eaten by zombies."
As the two teams got closer, they saw the piles of supplies through the glassless windows. They were dumbstruck.
With great difficulty, the skinny man squeezed through the piles and to a window. He happily gestured and said, "Chief, Big Brother Lu and the others drove the minivan into the town and brought out so many supplies!"
After only a short period, he followed Tang Tang in calling Lu Xingchi Big Brother Lu.
They actually dared to drive into town? And they brought back a full minivan of supplies?
The two teams fell silent.
Du Ruo also jumped out of the minivan, walked over to the young man with a broken leg, and crouched down. "Let me take a look."
He couldn't resist adding, "This pampered young master happens to be a doctor."
Captain Zheng's bag had bandages and medicine for first aid. Du Ruo simply bandaged the young man's leg. They waited until the other two groups came back before driving back to the base.
After returning to the base, they unloaded the supplies, and each person received three days of meal tickets.
Du Ruo patted the meal tickets and said with a smile, "They exchanged a minivan of stuff for three days of meal tickets. What a profitable business for them."
