It turned out that having an old man around made things much more convenient.

While Lucas was still thinking about how to get the attention of two evolutionists, the old man here had reached an agreement with the people in the granary and the arsenal.

Currently, Gehring was in charge of the arsenal, and naturally, he had to consider the food issue for over a thousand people.

Lucas felt like he saw an opportunity to go to the granary, but at the same time, he felt like there was no chance.

Unless he accepted these over a thousand people, the plan for Gehring and Reed to go to the island in the lake would be impossible.

Lucas could only take it step by step and decide as he went along.

The people from the arsenal had gathered some vehicles for transporting supplies after the apocalypse, and now they were preparing to go to the granary.

Lucas and Gehring stood beside a bus and invited Gehring and Reed to have a cup of coffee.

"Where did you get this individual rocket launcher?"

"Haha, it was also a stroke of luck."

"Ten days ago, a military unit passed through our town and, knowing that we had many people, gave us some weapons. This thing was given to me by an officer at that time."

As Gehring spoke, he lovingly wiped his individual rocket launcher with a cloth.

"I heard that you have dozens of people over there. Why don't you bring them over? With all of us fighting together, we can kill more monsters."

Now things took a turn. Lucas hadn't even figured out how to invite Gehring over, but Gehring was the one voluntarily inviting him.

Lucas smiled and said, "To be honest, the safety over where we are is much higher than here. You know how large the area of the island in Blue Sky Lake is, right? If we encounter a large-scale swarm, as long as we blow up the bridge, they won't be able to cross."

"What if you all come over?"

"After all, these people should listen to you."

Lucas naturally understood Gehring's idea.

Since Gehring wanted him to come over, it further proved that he wouldn't abandon these people.

Lucas didn't want to abandon them either, but when he thought about the task rewards given by the system, he felt that there was no harm in bringing these people over.

With over a thousand people, once they could start cultivating food, they could completely sustain themselves by cultivating the entire island in the lake.

"Let's go to the granary first."

Gehring looked at Lucas with a smile that didn't reach his eyes and didn't directly answer the question.

Gehring had indeed been to the island in Blue Sky Lake and felt that it was safer than their current location in the arsenal.

However, he still had to consider the safety of over a thousand people on the journey.

The vehicles couldn't accommodate so many people, and priority had to be given to transporting food.

It was estimated that quite a few people would die if over a thousand people had to walk dozens of kilometers to Blue Sky Lake.

When they had come to the arsenal before, two-thirds of the people had died.

"Alright, let's go to the granary first."

Seeing Gehring's concerns, Lucas wasn't in a hurry either.

The reserve granary that the old man mentioned happened to be in another direction from the town, about twenty kilometers away.

There were about fifty to sixty people going to the granary, and Gehring got on the bus while the others drove their own vehicles.

Gehring took a glance at the bus and became even more certain that Lucas was someone with special abilities, just like him.

This time, the bus drove ahead.

A convoy of over twenty vehicles of various models formed a mighty procession.

Passing through the town once again, to demonstrate his strength, Lucas drove the bus recklessly, forcefully creating a path of blood and flesh through the town overrun by zombies, not giving Gehring and Reed a chance to take action.

The only three creatures that appeared were also taken down by Lucas with a sniper rifle.

The people on the bus, witnessing the bus's close encounters with the zombies, its automatic driving, and Lucas's sniping actions, all started to think that this person was even stronger than Gehring and Reed.

The old man understood Lucas's intentions and kept telling the people on the bus how good Blue Sky Lake was.

In fact, the old man also realized that Lucas wanted to unite the two groups, so he wholeheartedly assisted Lucas.

The old man also wanted to return to Blue Sky Lake as soon as possible. After all, his granddaughter was still there, and that side was indeed somewhat safer than this side.

Gehring looked at Lucas, who was examining the bodies of the creatures in the distance, seemingly lost in thought.

Finally, the convoy arrived at the location of the granary.

It was a place that looked like an industrial park, surrounded by walls over three meters high. Just like everywhere else, it was pitch black with no signs of light.

With a press of the accelerator, the bus crashed through the sturdy metal gate and entered with the rest of the convoy.

The first things that caught Lucas's attention were some zombies and rows of square-shaped factory-like buildings, but these structures had no windows.

"Lucas, about half of these are cold storage rooms, filled with various types of stored meat."

"I reckon most of this meat must have gone bad. We only need to take the grains."

It had been nearly a month since the apocalypse, and even if the granary had its own power supply, it was unlikely that anyone was operating it.

Despite the undamaged gates of the granary, the presence of wandering zombies inside indicated the situation within.

Lucas and Gehring divided their tasks and spent over ten minutes clearing out the zombies. They took on the role of security guards while others began loading the grains.

There wasn't a single living person in the entire granary, which disappointed Lucas. Without any people, there was even less chance of finding evolutionaries.

Now, even if Gehring and Reed were willing to go to Blue Sky Lake, he couldn't complete his mission.

Lucas checked the time and glanced at the map. The scheduled time for the nuclear explosion was approaching.

At this moment, Lucas hoped that the nuclear explosion would occur on time. If it didn't happen, many things from the eleven years he experienced in the apocalypse would change, and he would no longer have a clear understanding of when major events in the apocalypse would occur.

Gehring approached Lucas at this moment.

"Brother, did you create this vehicle with your abilities?"

"And these watermelons and cabbages, can they grow without sunlight? Is that also your ability?"

Gehring's curiosity about Lucas grew more and more, and he couldn't help but ask.

"My abilities go beyond just these. There's still a long time ahead, and you'll come to understand, haha."

Lucas smiled at Gehring and went to inspect the generator room of the granary with a machete in hand.

Electricity was crucial in the apocalypse.

Since they had come all this way, Lucas didn't want to return empty-handed. Having more generators would be a preparedness measure.

When they came from the town, Lucas had instructed the Cobra brothers to find a large truck to use for transporting goods back to Blue Sky Lake.

The Cobras would definitely accompany Lucas, and their families were also willing to go to Blue Sky Lake.

Lucas and the Cobras quickly dismantled some generators and loaded them onto the truck.

On the way back, the bus wouldn't carry any people, only the grains.

The route to the grain silo had been cleared once, and on the return trip, Lucas intended to separate from Gehring and the others. Driving more vehicles to deliver the food after the nuclear explosion.
