Shizuka’s casual remark successfully snapped Shiro awake.
“That’s right.
The system said the parking lot is a safe zone, but it never said the RV can’t leave the safe zone.
If we confirm the route is safe, driving the RV out should be fine.” Shiro suddenly patted Shizuka’s firm, peach-like backside, causing her to let out a shy, soft protest.
The two did not keep talking.
Instead, they quickly began storing the supplies around them into their warehouses.
Fortunately, the person who had stored these supplies had already sorted everything by category.
Shiro and Shizuka could easily store them into their system warehouses in batches.
Shiro did not know the upper limit for a single warehouse slot.
But when he saw that the various canned goods in his system warehouse had already exceeded 100, he could not help laughing in excitement.
Although they occupied quite a few slots, this also meant Shiro would not have to worry about food for the next half a year.
“Shiro-kun!
Come here, quick!
There’s a generator here!” Just as Shiro finished collecting the supplies on the shelves, Shizuka called out from not far behind him.
When he turned around, he saw that Shizuka had somehow gone around the row of shelves on her side and reached the area behind them.
“We’ll collect the generator later.
For now, let’s prioritize bringing the supplies back to the RV.
If we take it now, this place will go completely dark, and it’ll be inconvenient when we come back to move the rest of the supplies.” Shiro walked around the generator and looked it over a few times.
In the end, he decided to wait until after they moved the supplies before storing the generator in the system warehouse.
First, their warehouse space was already running low.
Second, there was not much space left inside the RV either.
That was right.
The RV did not have enough space.
Shiro roughly estimated that after placing these cans inside the RV, the remaining space would only barely be enough for people to pass through.
And that did not even include other supplies like water, medicine, clothes, and so on.
Shiro could even see large supplies here, such as gasoline.
Great.
Originally, the problem had been not having enough supplies.
Now, the problem had become figuring out how to fit all these supplies into the RV.
“Shiro-kun, there’s also a huge box of steel and wood over here!” Following the direction Shizuka pointed, Shiro saw two boxes placed in the corner in front of the generator.
One box contained a large amount of steel, while the other held a box of wood.
From the look of it, these were probably leftover materials from building the underground warehouse.
[Obtained: Steel x33, Wood x41, Glass x10] There was even glass.
Perfect.
This time, they had finally obtained enough steel.
The steel Shiro had collected earlier was still inside his system warehouse.
Since steel took up too much space when taken out, he had never placed it inside the RV and had only kept it in the warehouse.
Including the wood and steel from before, Shiro now had 41 units of steel, 52 units of wood, and 10 units of glass.
That was already enough to upgrade the RV, with materials left over.
“Let’s go.
We’ve collected almost everything we can here, and our system warehouses are full.
We’ll come back for the rest tomorrow.” Shiro stood up and looked at Shizuka, who was sitting on a box.
With a smile, he took her hand and started walking back.
“Shiro-kun, should we close this door?
What if zombies get inside and damage the supplies?” After they walked out through the steel door, Shizuka tugged gently on Shiro’s hand.
“Mm, we should close it.
But we need to block it with something.
If a zombie accidentally pushes it in and shuts the door completely, that would be bad.” Shiro connected his thoughts to the system and took out one unit of steel.
With a thought, a square piece of steel landed on the ground and wedged itself in the gap between the doors.
Only after finishing this did the two head back.
There were not many zombies along the way, so the two returned to the RV quite easily.
After taking the supplies out of their warehouses, the two neatly stacked them inside the boxes and placed them in the RV.
As the supplies piled up, the interior space of the RV visibly became narrower.
The space that remained was only enough for the two of them to pass through.
“Hiss… there’s still too much stuff.
I need to find a way to upgrade the RV’s space.
Hopefully, upgrading the RV will make it larger.” Shiro rubbed his forehead helplessly.
They had more supplies now, but the RV had become cramped.
The vehicle itself was not large, only a little over five meters long.
After subtracting the driver’s area, the shower, the bed, and other fixed spaces, what remained was just barely enough to stack their cans and drinking water.
“I’m going to take a shower first.
It’s so hot.” Shizuka, on the other hand, did not care much about those things.
She was more concerned about the sweat on her body.
They had also found a batch of new underwear in the underground warehouse, so she finally had replacements and no longer needed to wash her set every night before drying it by the air vent.
“Wait a little.
I’ll upgrade the RV first and see if anything changes.” Shiro stopped the hurried Shizuka and decided to upgrade the RV before anything else.
Who knew what form the upgrade would take?
If it dismantled the RV before upgrading it, that would be ridiculous.
Shizuka nodded and accepted Shiro’s suggestion.
With nothing else to do, she leaned over his shoulder and watched him operate the passenger-seat screen.
Her soft, ample breasts pressed firmly against his face, but Shiro’s attention was entirely on the passenger-seat screen, so he did not pay much attention to it.
Opening the upgrade interface on the screen, Shiro directly tapped Upgrade.
As the materials in his warehouse gradually decreased, the RV began radiating dazzling white light.
Even Sun Yao, who was inside his own RV doing some private “relaxing,” was drawn outside by the commotion.
“What’s this?” Seeing Shiro’s RV emit such a dazzling white light, Sun Yao’s expression changed.
He hurriedly ran back to the driver’s seat of his own RV.
“Damn it, it’s not about to explode, is it?
Move, move, move!
Fuck!” Sun Yao cursed out loud.
Although he knew RVs could be upgraded, he did not have the plug-in, so he naturally did not know that the commotion Shiro caused was due to the RV upgrade.
At this moment, he thought Shiro’s RV was about to self-destruct, so he hurriedly climbed into his own vehicle and drove away from the resource zone.
The irritation he had felt from having his private fun interrupted by the white light was instantly swallowed by fear.
He was still young and did not want to die so soon.
In any case, he had already gathered enough supplies to last half a month, so leaving was not a problem.
Although he did not have much medicine, the boxes Shizuka had given him were enough to support him for a while.
There was no need to gamble his life beside someone else.
Sun Yao’s RV hurriedly left the resource zone, and the entire parking lot was suddenly left with only Shiro and Shizuka’s RV.
He had forgotten one thing, however.
The parking lot was a safe zone.
Even if a nuclear bomb fell on his head, he would not be harmed.
So, even if Shiro’s RV really did explode, Sun Yao could have stood right beside it and watched the explosion happen.
