The vehicle stopped at the roadside, and the four people and one zombie, fully armed, headed towards the granary.

Once again, they cleared zombies along the way, instinctively protecting Xu Duoduo in the middle. She didn't even get a chance to use her chainsaw.

They were held up at the main gate for a while, but since it was the apocalypse, they simply used small explosives to blast it open successfully.

Surprisingly, there were no zombies inside.

However, they remained cautious. Chen Xiaofei, being the most agile, acted as the scout. After confirming it was safe, he called the others in. They successfully entered the granary area.

As soon as they stepped in, they noticed how exceptionally dry it was, which explained why the grain was well-preserved.

The granary area was filled with neat rows of storage units. Chen Xiaofei quickly surveyed the area and found there were thirty-two units in total.

"Damn, this place is huge! Can our little Squad Leader handle it?"

Qin Luo crossed his arms and nodded towards Xu Duoduo, indicating Chen Xiaofei should look for himself. "I think she can manage."

Chen Xiaofei turned to look and was amazed. Xu Duoduo, like a mouse in a rice bin, had already started collecting. Her ability to collect items worked through contact; no matter how much there was, as long as she touched it, everything would be taken at once.

Thirty-two granaries meant she only needed to collect thirty-two times.

It was much more convenient than in supermarkets or snack shops. The little zombie just had to reach out her paw, and all the grain would be packed up and taken away! It couldn't be more satisfying!

Bai Shu, with nothing else to do, even checked the amount of grain stored here. The results were shocking.

Each nearly cylindrical granary could hold 7,500 tons of grain.

And there were 32 of them...

Qin Luo couldn't help but say, "We've secured enough food for our lifetime, and we can even feed many, many people in our base."

Bai Shu nodded happily.

Wang Weihu was too shocked to speak, "Little Squad Leader is amazing!"

The little zombie didn't know anything, she just knew that hoarding things made her happy. She was immersed in this joy, though unfortunately, the 32 granaries were gone in the blink of an eye.

But many small spaces in her multi-faceted cube space were filled, giving her a sense of satisfaction, a very, very happy feeling.

It was all food!

All kinds of grains!

Rice was the most abundant! And it seemed to be of very good quality.

After collecting all the grain, Xu Duoduo was elated, a bit dazed, with sparkling eyes. Finally, Qin Luo scooped her up to leave. "Why do you look drunk? Are you intoxicated by grain?" He let out a pleasant, deep laugh.

Everyone was in a good mood.

Including Wang Weihu, Bai Shu, and Chen Xiaofei. Successfully collecting so much grain made them feel much more secure. Although it was a drop in the ocean for the base, it was better than letting it rot here.

The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

Since the apocalypse began, every day had been unpredictable. No one knew what might happen next, so it was best to collect resources as soon as possible.

They also asked Xu Duoduo for some grain to hand over, otherwise they couldn't account for their actions to headquarters, especially since someone had seen them asking the children for a map.

To avoid trouble, they planned to sell the grain in their storage cards to the base when they returned, exchanging it for points. This way, they could earn points for daily use and also help alleviate the base's urgent needs.

After successfully leaving the granary area, they rescued more survivors along the way and scavenged various supplies from the area.

The small town also had many shops and malls.

There were no rescue teams nearby, but they were already preparing to return.

So they directly took this group of survivors with them. The vehicles Xu Duoduo had collected earlier at the service area came in handy. Large trucks were used to transport the survivors' belongings, while buses carried the people.

The modified off-road vehicle led the way, with other vehicles following closely behind.

They had been out for several days now, but they had experienced more in this time than in several months before. Each day was incredibly "eventful," unlike the routine of going to school or work before, traveling the same route day after day.

Xu Duoduo felt like she had been out for a long time, but it had only been three days.

The journey took some more time, and finally, on the fourth day, their team returned to the base. Seeing the tall walls from afar brought an inexplicable sense of security.

Then came the standard procedures.

They stopped for inspection, while the other survivors queued up for isolation before entering the base.

Many survivors burst into tears when they saw the staff at the city gate, wearing red coats and name tags, a familiar sight. They had finally escaped death; life after the apocalypse was unimaginable.

The staff were patient, offering words of comfort and guiding them in.

Qin Luo and his team stood by their vehicle, waiting for it to be inspected and checked by the staff. The vehicle would be taken away for cleaning and maintenance, then delivered to the parking lot at their residence.

They could just drive it away when they needed to go on missions.

Chen Xiaofei stretched and yawned as usual, "Ah~ I'm exhausted."

Bai Shu also looked tired, moving his neck and sighing, "Let's take a shower and sleep when we get back."

They didn't even feel like eating.

Wang Weihu went to find a place to smoke. During missions, he was too tense to smoke, but once back at the base and relaxed, he always had a cigarette or drink in hand.

As the team leader, Qin Luo went to handle the handover with the staff at the city gate, registering their return. "We passed by a granary this time and brought back a lot of grain. We'll keep 200 jin (100 kg) of rice for ourselves, you can take the rest."

Ms. Du Chunjiang couldn't help but be surprised, "Wow, really? You guys are incredible. It's already impressive that you complete several missions each time you go out, but this time you even fought a three-star mutant monster? And not only did you complete more missions after that, but you also brought back grain? Luo God, your team is truly my idol! By the way, the forum has been buzzing about your team lately."

They were really too amazing. Others struggled to complete one mission, with two being the limit for the most capable. The 3A team were true battle maniacs. Which other ability users could match these four? And now they even had a new little cutie!

Du Chunjiang couldn't help but look at the little zombie, lowering her voice to say, "She's really pretty and well-behaved, just a bit aloof."

She didn't seem to respond much when talked to.

Qin Luo stepped back a bit, "Tsk, if you have something to say, just say it. Why are you getting so close?"

Du Chunjiang rolled her eyes, "Brother, if we're being formal, I should call you cousin. What are you nervous about? I just wanted to get to know her."

Qin Luo smiled and said, "If you want to get to know her, just do it directly. Why whisper? And she's not aloof, she just can't talk right now."

He muttered a few more words.

How could the little zombie be anything but adorable?

She's not aloof at all!

Xu Duoduo had been standing at the side waiting for Qin Luo for a long time. She had wanted to leave, but she craved his scent, so she decided to stay a bit longer to wait for him. She planned to take a few more sniffs to satisfy her craving, which would make her sleep better at night.

The little zombie, whose brain tended to get stuck, didn't realize how creepy this behavior might seem.
