Title: A Fake Holy Mother in the Zombie Apocalypse
Translator: Little Bamboo Spirit
Chapter 47 - "Little Three, do you have enmity with me?" (2)
Just as Bei Nuan was thinking this, Lu Xingchi looked her way. He seemed to know exactly what she was thinking and slightly shook his head at her.
The three leaders discussed it over and sent people to register everything in the warehouse. The supplies would be distributed to the group on a daily basis using a ration system. Their group rule was that supplies would be allocated to each person with priority given to the sick, elderly, and disabled.
Although they had just come here, Bei Nuan and the others were counted as members. Jiang Fei was injured, so he was given a blanket and didn't have to lie directly on the floor.
Bei Nuan took note that only the elderly and children had comfortable mats to sleep on. The leaders of the group, like everyone else, didn't receive any special treatment.
Everyone was given a small piece of bread and a bottle of water and told that they could get more water after finishing what they had. For the time being, the water supply hadn't been stopped yet.
Bei Nuan thought; she had been stuffing herself with food in the past two days. It was only now that she was experiencing life in the apocalypse. She held that piece of small bread, but she wasn't hungry at all.
There was a father and his two or three-year old son sitting next to her. The son's eyes were fixed on the bread.
Bei Nuan simply stuffed the bread into the boy's hands.
Her Holy Mother value went up, but Bei Nuan felt very guilty about being rewarded for that action. She pretended to look for something in her pocket and took out a lollipop from her pocket spaced and offered it to the child. She was sneaky about it because the rule here was equal distribution and people were strictly forbidden to hide food.
The boy's father thanked Bei Nuan and mentioned, "There's actually a large wholesale food market near here. There's plenty of food there. If we can get it, we won't have to worry about having enough food."
Dr. Su walked over here. He immediately noticed the lollipop in the boy's mouth, but he pretended to not see it.
Dr. Su responded, "There are zombies everywhere outside. We can't get through it."
"If we can't walk on the streets, we can go through the tunnel." The boy's father was ambitious. "We can take the tunnel. We don't have to walk on the road at all."
Dr. Su asked with a smile, "What tunnel?"
"To tell you the truth, I'm an underground engineer. I was part of the team responsible for Jiangcheng's subway," the boy's father patiently explained, "A subway line was recently built near here. One of its stops is this building's basement. There's no one in the subway line. The construction project is on hiatus, and it was sealed off. As long as we can find the right place to open access, we can use the underground tunnel to go to a lot of places safely."
"Really? Where?" Dr. Su became interested and sat down.
Bei Nuan and Lu Xingchi couldn't help but look at the two men.
Bei Nuan clearly remembered that the novel said that the first human base was developed in Jiangcheng, and it was underground. If she remembered correctly, one of the people in charge of the base was someone called Mr. Su.
Was the group in the supermarket the beginning of that base?
Lu Xingchi thoughtfully looked at the boy's father and Dr. Su. He suddenly stood up and went to look for Teacher Xue.
Bei Nuan vaguely heard him asking Teacher Xue how much food was left.
A small piece of bread per person was truly too little.
Teacher Xue explained that they originally only had the food out on the shelves. With so many people in the group, that food wouldn't be able to last them long. Now that the warehouse was available to them, the food shortage problem was significantly alleviated.
Lu Xingchi thought it over and asked, "Where's the cold storage room in the supermarket?"
There should be a lot of meat and fresh produce there.
Captain Xing answered, "It's right behind here, but it's behind a locked iron door. We tried breaking the lock for a long time."
"Take me there to see," Lu Xingchi said.
