I Become A Storeowner At Apocalypse Following My Transmigration - Chapter 5

Chapter 5: Apocalypse Team

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

C City, Jinhua Road.

In the damaged and desolated street, a well-equipped team was searching for something. The five of them were armed and wearing dark camouflage.

The team advanced cautiously and carefully observed their surroundings. They found a few zombies wandering around and did not give them any time to react, killing them without hesitation.

With the zombies killed, the four of them continued to observe the surroundings for protection. One of them went to the side of the dead zombies, took off the knife at his waist, and took out a bright yellow crystal from the green mucus of the zombie brain.

“Captain, all the zombies in the surroundings have been cleared. Most of them are Level 1 zombies and a few Level 0 ones. The six Level 1 zombie nuclei have all been put away. There are no ability zombie nuclei here.” After searching the nearby roads, the team member who had collected the nuclei walked to Lu Linyan and reported.

Since the apocalypse, nuclei were the special byproducts of mutated animals, plants, and zombies. They were the core of their strength. The quality of nuclei was also ranked according to level. Level 0 did not have nuclei, and the higher the level, the stronger the energy contained in the nuclei. However, the owner of the corresponding nuclei would also be stronger.

There was another special type of nuclei, and that was the ability-type nuclei. If one used the nuclei of the corresponding ability, they would obtain additional energy. If they did not correspond, the effect of using it was the same as ordinary nucleis.

There were very few ability nucleis among zombies. Last night, Cheng Jun and the others were quite lucky. One of the three Level 3 zombies was a ability zombie.

“Yes, put away the nucleis and distribute them when we return. Now, continue to search for food and other supplies nearby.”

This team was one of the teams sent by the Firebird Base to C City. Now, their purpose in coming to Jinhua Road was to find supplies.

“Captain, there’s a convenience store here. The supplies haven’t been completely swept.” A chubby team member in front shouted at Lu Linyan.

“Go to Fatty Zhang’s place and move the supplies,” Lu Linyan said to his teammates.

“Yes.”

It was an ordinary convenience store, located in a small alley on Jinhua Road. A layer of dust had already accumulated on the food bags on the shelves, indicating that it had been abandoned for a long time. There were still many goods on the shelves. Perhaps it was because its geographical location was remote that it had escaped the purge of humans at the beginning of the apocalypse.

He wondered if these foods could still be eaten now.

Lu Linyan took a bag of biscuits from the shelf and looked at the date on it.

‘Well, it’s not expired.’

“Captain, I found something,” Fatty Zhang said. “There’s a door here, but it’s locked. I wonder if this is the storehouse.”

Lu Linyan walked over and took a look. There was an iron door. He reached out and knocked on it. From the sound, it sounded quite thick.

His fire elemental abilities could not open this door.

“Ling Xuanwei, see if you can open this door.”

“Let me see.”

A female team member who was helping to collect the goods on the shelves stopped what she was doing and walked towards the door. She observed the door for a while and supported her chin with one hand. “I don’t know if it’s okay. I’ve never tried to open a lock before. Let’s try!”

Ling Xuanwei was a psychic . Every psychic ability user’s ability might be different. Ling Xuanwei’s ability was equivalent to telekinesis, and she could control the movement of objects. Now that she was a Level 3 paranormal, her current telekinesis level could not destroy the anti-theft door.

If she could not destroy it, she could at least manipulate it. If she was inside, she would discover that the handle inside the door was twisting on its own.

Crack!

The door opened.

“Wow! Sister Wei is so powerful.” This voice was the last member of the team, Shan Tao. She was the team’s healer, a Level 3 healer and the youngest.

Healing-type abilities did not play a big role at Level 1 or 2, so the resources that healing-type abilities could obtain were little. At that time, she, who was a healing-type ability, was strongly supported by Ling Xuanwei.

At that time, when no one was optimistic about the healer-type ability, Ling Xuanwei had always believed that it was very useful.

With her help, Shan Tao became the first Level 3 Healer in the apocalypse. The news that Level 3 Healer could cure patients who had yet to be completely infected spread.

As a result, the status of a healing-type ability user increased overnight. From then on, Shan Tao became a little obsessed with Ling Xuanwei.

This time, a Level 3 healing-type ability user appeared a few months earlier than the previous timeline.

Lu Linyan carefully pushed the door open. With his other hand, he prepared his fire power to prevent any accidents from happening. In the entire team, Lu Linyan was the highest level in the team, a Level 4 fire elemental ability user.

After the door opened, everyone was in disbelief.

This was really the warehouse of this convenience store. However, this warehouse seemed to have been imported not long before the apocalypse. The supplies were almost filled up in the warehouse. There was food and daily necessities.

Fatty Zhang rubbed his hands excitedly. “Captain, what a huge haul!”

“Yes, it’s indeed a huge gain.” A visible smile appeared on Lu Linyan’s face. “Zhao Xuan, how much can your space hold?”

“Captain, we can only store half of it.” Zhao Xuan smiled bitterly. He was a dual-element ability user. Space and water. His spatial ability was only Level 2, and the size of his space was not enough to store all the resources.

Lu Linyan pondered for a moment and turned to Ling Xuanwei. “Contact the garrison and ask them to send another car over.”

“Will do.”

“Zhao Xuan will take half of the supplies. The others will move the supplies outside with me first.”

“Roger that.”

A while later, at Jinhua Road.

“How long till the car gets here?”

Lu Linyan asked.

“We’ll be there in a few minutes.”

“Then let’s rest for a while. When the car arrives, we’ll move the supplies and our mission will be completed.”

The team members were also tired. They leaned against the cardboard boxes to rest.

Rumble rumble rumble…

A truck was approaching from the front.

“Old Liu (Uncle Liu), over here.” Seeing that it was Old Liu, everyone stood up and waved at the car.

The truck stopped in front of everyone. A middle-aged man in his forties with black hair mixed with a few strands of white hair got out of the truck.

“You’ve worked hard, everyone.” Old Liu smiled, and the wrinkles on his face were very obvious.

“Hey, Old Liu, look at all the supplies we’ve found. Why don’t you treat us to a drink tonight?” Fatty Zhang said with a mischievous smile on his face. The bottles of wine that Old Liu had collected were simply too fragrant!

“F*ck you. You’re always thinking about this little wine of mine.” Old Liu scolded him with a smile.

“Uncle Liu, why are you here? And why did you drive this truck over? Didn’t this truck say that it was loud? Why didn’t you drive the other one?” Ling Xuanwei walked in front of Old Liu and was a little puzzled.

Uncle Liu’s driving skills were the best in the base. Coming over to help them pick up these supplies was really a little testing. Moreover, a loud car would be an easier target by zombies on the way.
