Chapter 161 Entering School
Chapter 161 Entering School
The convoy moved slowly through the deserted city streets.
The scene on both sides of the street gradually transitioned from initial dilapidation to a chilling "cleanliness".
This cleanliness is not pristine, but rather a cleanliness as if it had been repeatedly licked by some enormous, sticky substance.
Xu Si's star-like eyes had already noticed the anomaly of this cleanliness, so different from the washing of rainwater.
What kind of thing licks and eats houses and even buildings?
"...What are these things?" Jiao Jiao's voice came through the walkie-talkie, very low and with a noticeable tremor.
No one answered.
This unknown is more unsettling than direct destruction.
"This looks like a school!"
The little girl found a school sign on the right side of the road, which read "Youth Road".
"What kind of supplies are in here?" Tashan asked over the walkie-talkie.
"Of course there are! The school is so big, the cafeteria definitely needs to store supplies, and besides, this is a university, there might even be a supermarket inside!"
Even though the little girl hasn't been to university, she must know something.
Fu Xiaojian's eyes lit up; the school seemed like a good option.
A school is a relatively closed social environment.
It has all kinds of supporting facilities, and there may be a hospital, fire station, police station and other places inside. You might even find some intact vehicles.
"Go in and take a look. Let's get this over with quickly. Half an hour at most. If we find what we're looking for, we're out! If we don't find it, we're out too," Fu Xiaojian decided decisively.
"Tashan, open a road!"
The main problem is that the school doesn't look very big, and their few cars can quickly ransack the place.
"Understood!" Tashan replied readily.
A single impact smashed a large hole in the school wall, saving them time searching for the main gate and highlighting their unconventional approach.
"It really is a school!"
As the convoy drove through the fence, a vast, standard-sized football field, or playground, came into view.
Opposite and to the side of the playground are rows of buildings.
"Search separately, meet back at the playground in half an hour!" Fu Xiaojian said before driving towards the most densely packed area of the buildings.
More buildings mean more people gathering, and also mean there is a high probability that they are residential areas, canteens, supermarkets, and dormitories.
After all, the cafeteria isn't some distance away from the student dormitory.
The convoy dispersed.
Xu Si also drove the Conqueror towards the school.
Meanwhile, the unfolding star trails also probed the properties of each building.
The road may head west.
Xu Si finally spotted a place filled with shelves in the star trails, probably a shop or something similar, almost touching the other side of the wall.
Looking up, you can see not only a shop, but also a Cainiao Post Station and a beef noodle shop next to it.
Without delay, Xu Si dumped everything from the dimensional space into the trunk and got out of the car.
Having just devoured a Rain Demon, the vehicle's fuel level is now perfectly healthy, so what it urgently needs is food to fill its stomach.
As soon as I opened the car door, the damp, cold air, mixed with the smell of dust and mold, immediately filled my nostrils.
The rain had lessened and become much finer, but it still pattered softly on the Cloak of Concealment.
Xing Tong glanced at the row of low bungalows in front of her—clearly belonging to the school's commercial and logistical area.
The Cainiao Post Station sign has long since faded and peeled off, but no one can mistake that touch of blue.
The glass door of the beef noodle shop was shattered, the tables and chairs inside were overturned, and almost everything inside was moldy.
That shop was just a shop; although the shutter door was closed, Xu Si felt that it was probably smaller than the shop in his hometown village.
Fortunately, the store was intact and had not been looted as some had imagined.
The Sword of Punishment cleanly sliced open the roller shutter door, as if it were dissecting a long-forgotten historical relic.
At the entrance of the roller shutter door is a huge water tank. The entire store is only about 10 or 20 square meters in size, with various beverages and drinking water occupying half of the space and the other half filled with shelves.
The entire store appeared extremely crowded, clearly making the most of the space.
Xu Si accepted them all without hesitation.
In particular, there were quite a few items on the shelves, and the packaging was relatively intact, with many items not affected by moisture.
Xu Si only picked the best ones, and even so, he still used the dimensional space to transfer them twice.
Almost half of the contents were drinks. Xu Si himself didn't lack water resources, so he filled the container to a limited extent.
He mostly stocked the shelves with supplies, mostly snacks, various breads and instant noodles, and various milk and dairy drinks, but most of them were already expired. Perhaps the little girl would prefer these.
The shop had a good haul, and Xu Si entered the post station again, where there were quite a few packages on the shelves.
Xu Si didn't pick and choose; as long as the star trail display was intact, he stuffed them all into the car.
The last remaining noodle restaurant had piles of flour that had turned into black mud, but Xu Si didn't let it go, taking all the pots and pans inside.
Xu Si especially liked the large pot, which was about the same size as the pot on the earthen stove.
At this point, it was about time.
He returned to the cockpit of the "Conqueror".
The vehicle started, its dark red body turning around in the drizzle and heading back the way it came.
The wheels rolled over the wet ground, splashing up tiny droplets of water.
If none of this had happened, what a harmonious scene it would be right now.
Xu Si also encountered Jiao Jiao's pickup truck on the way, but there was no one inside. They must still be searching. They don't have Xu Si's dimensional space.
A few minutes after Xu Si returned, the other vehicles returned one after another. Everyone was very law-abiding and punctual.
After the reports were filed, the convoy was neither missing any vehicles nor people; in fact, Wang Hu's Volkswagen was towing an SUV behind it.
This collection was the most successful one yet.
The convoy only retreated through the gap in the wall when the buses from Tashan had gathered.
They never knew the name of the school.
At this point, the name also lost its meaning.
"Brother Dao, Brother Dao, what good stuff did you find?"
The little girl's voice came through the intercom system, and judging from her tone, she must have gained quite a bit.
Xu Si went the deepest into the area, almost to the edge of the school, but he also gained the most, with supplies from shops and Cainiao Post Stations almost filling his entire trunk.
Moreover, there were many other drinks in the store that he had nowhere to put, so he had to give up.
"Tch... I'm not telling you!"
Xu Si was drinking a can of ice-cold cola, one hand on the steering wheel, and made a "hiss" sound into the walkie-talkie, feeling incredibly refreshed.
This made the little girl so angry that she jumped up and down. She and her aunt went to a dormitory building and searched a few rooms. Although they found something, it wasn't much, and their backpacks couldn't carry much.
Hearing that Xu Si was enjoying it, he was furious.
