Chapter 110: Plate

Chapter 110: Plate

The five of them chatted along the way about various interesting anecdotes related to superpowers, with He Ying and Lu Shanshan mainly talking while Chen Mu listened.

As they passed by the storage room where they used to get water and rice, Chen Mu paid special attention and looked from a distance, but it seemed like nothing had changed.

Initially, he thought this place would be taken over by rats or something similar quickly, so he didn't expect to come back again.

But now, it appeared to be quite calm.

Just as Chen Mu was thinking whether to take some rice from there, he saw several figures flickering under the door crack.

"Stop, hide."

They were still quite far from the figures, and if they hadn't been vigilant from the beginning, it would have been difficult for them to notice each other.

The rough and cheap cement road often left many large particles at the edges, which could trip people during ordinary walks. However, at this moment, it served as their best cover.

The five of them crouched down and looked from afar at the spot Chen Mu pointed to.

"Are they from the Qingbei group?"

"Possible. There's still quite a distance from here to the cafeteria, so it doesn't make sense for students from Yizhong to come here. Besides, there are indeed a few of them wearing our school uniforms."

"What are they doing?"

"Don't know. Let's observe first."

This storage room was of the same size as the one at the Institute of Advanced Research, both measuring 1.8*1.8 meters, rented to different contractors within the cafeteria to store supplies.

Since they were added later and there was no suitable space for centralized arrangement, they were scattered around the greenery near the cafeteria, connected by a few cement paths.

Most of these storage rooms contained kitchen utensils like pots and pans, with very little food, so this one should be considered an exception.

However, now that others have discovered it, Chen Mu feels like his own treasure is being snatched away.

But if the other party is from Qingbei, then he really has no way to stop them.

Although, at the moment, there seems to be no hostile relationship between the two groups.

The last encounter with Song Yu seemed quite friendly, but the problem is, not every member of Qingbei may be friendly. In this lawless era, it's always better to be cautious.

The two sides are about a meter apart, close enough to see each other, but the actions are not very clear.

There are about four or five people standing in front of the door crack.

They seem to be wandering around, looking in all directions.nôvel binz was the first platform to present this chapter.

It appears they are scoping out the area.

"Do you think they are also moving the food inside?"

Lu Shanshan and He Ying have heard Chen Mu describe the situation inside this storage room, knowing that there is a large amount of rice and flour stored in there, but the flour is placed high on the shelves, making it difficult to access.

"It seems that they currently have no way to access the flour placed in higher locations. If these people are indeed from Qingbei, we might be able to deduce some of their abilities from this."

Chen Mu had one more question that he didn't mention: How was this large metal box in front of them created?

Clearly, this thing didn't look ready-made.

It was highly likely that someone's ability was involved in its creation.

If that was the case, then this person's ability was somewhat similar to his, and not weak. Chen Mu believed that making such a box wouldn't be difficult for him, just time-consuming.

However, upon closer inspection, it didn't quite seem to fit.

The surface of the metal box had obvious traces of hammering and forging, indicating that it was forcibly made.

After all, Qingbei had a large number of people. If they really concentrated their efforts, it was possible for them to produce it.

In essence, this thing was made by folding up the edges of a metal sheet, similar to a simple rectangular fruit tray.

"If we could also move so much rice, it would be enough to eat for several years," Xue Xu said, full of envy.

Chen Mu replied, "Qingbei has more people, so their consumption is naturally higher. Besides, whether it's rice or flour, they'll eventually get moldy and spoil over time."

The commercial city was located on the eastern coast, where it was often humid and rainy. If not properly stored, even the new rice from the same year might not last more than a few months if it got damp.

Especially considering the area near Qingbei's playground, where there were no decent houses. It would be challenging for them to protect their supplies from rain and humidity.

However, based on Song Yu's previous performance, it seemed that Qingbei didn't have much difficulty surviving. Chen Mu wondered where their headquarters might be located.

After about half an hour, Chen Mu watched the group of people who appeared to be from Qingbei gradually move further away.

From their direction, they were indeed heading toward the playground.

"It seems relatively safe here. Should we also go and take some supplies?" Chen Mu asked.

"Rice?" He Ying inquired.

"Yes."

"We could consider it, but I'm worried that Qingbei might have people guarding the storage," He Ying said.
