Lan Duo’s ability space doubled, easily collecting all the supplies loaded on the car into the space.
The car body instantly became much lighter, and even the speed increased.
But Hesheng was cautious, afraid of being discovered by the other two teams traveling with them, so she asked Lan Duo to put back the tents, sleeping bags, and other large and relatively light items from the space, creating the illusion that the space inside the car was relatively crowded.
Space-type ability users are like mobile granaries for the team, a guarantee of survival.
Therefore, ability users with strong space levels are also objects of envy from all parties.
Lan Duo also knew the stakes and cooperated very well in taking things out.
The group bypassed the mountain road and arrived in the town at dusk, temporarily settling in several abandoned houses next to each other on the mountainside.
Although the three organizations were traveling together, they did not trust each other and still acted independently, using their own supplies and not communicating with each other.
Li Yanting and Duan Zhanfeng’s teams also had four people, and the supplies they carried were still enough. However, the situation in Ji Hui’s team was not very good.
He brought four ability users and a dozen ordinary people. Even though there were a lot of supplies piled up on the bus, they had consumed most of them in the past few days.
After tonight, his team’s supplies would be exhausted early tomorrow morning.
Therefore, he was the most eager to go out to find supplies. As soon as everyone settled down, before they even had time to prepare dinner, Ji Hui came over with the planning map.
“Sorry to bother everyone, we’re going to search for supplies in the city tomorrow. Let’s take a look at the route and specific locations to facilitate tomorrow’s action.”
Ji Hui unfolded the planning map and placed it on the table. Duan Zhanfeng also followed him into the door. He glanced at Hesheng and winked at her.
Hesheng avoided it without showing any signs, eating a braised egg while stretching her ears to listen to the discussion over there.
She had already told Li Yanting everything she needed to, including how she planned to trick Duan Zhanfeng and the location of the supplies left by her father. Next, it was up to Li Yanting to set the hook and bait and catch this greedy rascal and throw him into the zombie sea.
“We plan to search the houses of the residents on the mountainside tonight. The team’s supplies are really tight. We’ll find as much as we can.”
Ji Hui didn’t shy away from talking about the team’s supply problems, and he didn’t seem to care about exposing his weaknesses.
“Since Chief Li has been here before, he should know something about this place.” Duan Zhanfeng asked tentatively, “In your opinion, where is the most likely place to store supplies?”
Li Yanting: “Before the apocalypse, Mr. He bought several warehouses in the town in his personal name to store supplies. They were used several times after the apocalypse. If I remember correctly, there are still two warehouses that have not been used.”
Three months before the apocalypse, the world was running as usual. Suddenly, a rumor about the “arrival of the apocalypse” fell from the sky and appeared on major media platforms around the world, breaking the peaceful life.
The “apocalypse theory” exploded around the world.
At first, most people only thought it was a prank by some people.
But later, news of the mad rush for supplies repeatedly topped the headlines. With the blessing of the group effect, more and more people began to store supplies, and Hesheng’s father was one of them.
The supplies he stored were enough to support a small refuge city, with hundreds of people surviving for half a year, and there was still a surplus.
Duan Zhanfeng didn’t expect that Li Yanting would reveal the existence of supplies to them so straightforwardly. He thought about it and felt that it was a smokescreen.
The real supplies must not be in the two warehouses he mentioned.
Li Yanting looked at the two of them and turned to look at Hesheng on the side: “These supplies are Mr. He’s private property. If you want to use them, you must first ask the opinion of the heir.”
“Heir” Hesheng was suddenly looked at by several pairs of eyes, and the braised egg in her mouth was no longer fragrant.
This wasn’t in the script, Hesheng thought.
“I…”
“Miss Hesheng.” Ji Hui suddenly opened his mouth, interrupting.
“I have heard about the refuge city established by your father for a long time, and I also feel very sorry for your father’s experience.”
“Presumably your father must be a great leader. If he knew that the supplies he had stored could help more survivors in need, he would be pleased.”
Hesheng was a little surprised, but found that Ji Hui didn’t seem to be just saying polite words. His tone was sincere, and he couldn’t see any perfunctoriness or deception. It seemed that he really thought so in his heart.
“Thank you.”
Hesheng’s eyes were a little hot. The arrival of the apocalypse had destroyed too much humanity. Having seen the ugliness of human nature for several years in her previous life, Hesheng felt both strange and moved by such kindness.
Li Yanting raised his eyebrows in satisfaction and turned to look at Duan Zhanfeng.
Duan Zhanfeng suddenly felt a burst of panic in his heart. He knew best what happened to Hesheng’s father’s death.
He had personally replaced Hesheng’s father’s quick-acting heart-saving pills, deliberately causing him to get sick, and finally framed Li Yanting, who had come to meet him.
So when Li Yanting looked at him expressionlessly, Duan Zhanfeng’s first feeling was that he had discovered himself.
But Li Yanting just looked at him like this, saying nothing but full of oppression.
Duan Zhanfeng broke out in a cold sweat. He suppressed a breath and calmed down after a long time, but his face was still very stiff, and the smile he squeezed out was uglier than crying.
Anyone who had to praise the achievements of the victim in front of the powerful and unreasonable victim, and also want to share a piece of the inheritance left by him, would probably feel guilty and weak.
Especially since the victim who was framed may have learned the truth of the framing and may take action to kill him at any time.
“Mr. He has always been a senior I admire… I also feel very sorry for his experience… So…”
Duan Zhanfeng praised Hesheng’s father while searching his mind, while enduring the pressure of Li Yanting’s death stare, he was at a loss and sweating profusely.
The words of praise made him speak stutteringly, with a hint of panic. Even an outsider who didn’t know the truth would feel strange about his reaction.
When Duan Zhanfeng finished speaking these words with a head full of cold sweat, Li Yanting finally withdrew his powerful gaze.
He breathed a sigh of relief and looked up at Hesheng with a guilty conscience. The resentment in Hesheng’s eyes had cooled down. When it fell on him, it was like a knife, wishing to cut him into pieces.
Duan Zhanfeng was stunned for a moment and subconsciously thought that Hesheng also knew the truth. As a result, Hesheng only glanced at him and then withdrew her gaze. When she looked over again, everything returned to calm, as if he had just seen it wrong.
Yes, he must have seen it wrong. Hesheng was stupid and loved him so much. Even if Li Yanting knew the truth and told her, she couldn’t possibly believe Li Yanting’s words.
Having played with Hesheng for so long, Duan Zhanfeng still had this confidence this time.
“If these supplies are still there and have not been discovered by other survivors, then I agree that everyone can use these supplies.”
Hesheng now understood the intention behind Li Yanting’s seemingly superfluous behavior.
He had always known who killed her father. He did this to make her see through Duan Zhanfeng’s guilty conscience and plant a seed of doubt in her heart.
At the same time, he was scaring the snake, making the real murderer become a frightened bird and take the initiative to show his feet.
