Chapter 85: Storage Center
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
After changing back to his usual sleeping robe, Ye Xingchen raised his hand and rubbed his shoulders. It was his first time using a sniper rifle, so the recoil was indeed a little strong. It made his shoulders a little numb.
Tonight, there would definitely be many people who would not be able to sleep.
Ye Xingchen sent a message, asking the people on duty tonight to clean up the dead bodies outside his house and throw them out.
Although the corpses wouldn’t rot and stink in such cold weather, the thought of a few dead bodies lying under the window was somewhat disgusting.
Zhao Hao also sent a message.
Zhao Hao came late and did not participate in the fight below, but he still heard the gunshots from afar.
“Was it you who fired the gun, Little Ye?”
Zhao Hao had retired from the army, so he naturally recognized the sound of a sniper rifle.
Ye Xingchen didn’t hide anything from him. “Yes, when I went out today, 1 went to the Public Security Bureau and got a sniper rifle.”
“Haha, it’s good that you fired the gun. If it was someone else, then we would be in danger!”
After chatting for a while, Ye Xingchen lay on the bed and fell asleep.
After going out once, it was difficult to resist the temptation to go out again.
After all, Ye Xingchen was considered a rich second-generation heir who loved to play. He usually went around a lot. If it wasn’t for this apocalypse, he really didn’t want to be locked up at home every day.
The next morning, Ye Xingchen woke up and went downstairs to unlock Lin Sijia’s room before going back to his room to wash up.
After washing up, he changed into casual clothes and went downstairs. Lin Sijia had already finished washing up and was preparing breakfast.
Today’s breakfast was relatively simple. It was a few slices of bacon, two sausages, an omelet, a piece of buttered toast, some creamy mushrooms, and a glass of fresh milk. When Lin Sijia came over with the milk, her face was still a little red.
She sat down next to Ye Xingchen and waited for Ye Xingchen to take the first bite of bread before asking, “Were you the one who fired the gun last night?”
“I wasn’t asleep. 1 was reading when 1 suddenly heard gunshots, but it was too dark outside. I didn’t see what happened.”
Ye Xingchen took a sip of milk and looked at Lin Sijia with a smile. “Yes, it was me.”
“Some people came last night. They came for me, but I killed them.”
“But it was already quite late last night. Why weren’t you asleep yet? Looks like you’re still… You’re quite energetic.”
Lin Sijia seemed to have remembered something. Suddenly, her face turned red and she gently pushed Ye Xingchen’s head back. “No, I’m not… Let’s eat!”
Ye Xingchen’s mood improved a lot.
After all, what could be happier than finding out that he was the first man for his partner?
Ye Xingchen was also a little surprised last night. After all, Lin Sijia was about the same age as him.
What he didn’t expect was that Lin Sijia, who had both looks and figure, was actually… She had never dated another man.
Gently pinching Lin Sijia’s shoulder, Ye Xingchen’s tone became much gentler. “I should be going out later. You can have a meal at home by yourself. I’ll come back for dinner tonight.”
Yesterday’s harvest was not bad. Ye Xingchen thought that it would be a waste to not take it. There was no harm in taking more. Moreover, perhaps there would be something more useful when he walked around.
Zheng Huaqiang had suffered a great loss. He had to crawl his way back. He was almost killed too.
The few good brothers who had gone with him had all died there, but Zheng Huaqiang did not dare to relax even after returning to his own territory. That Ye Xingchen was really too strange.
Every time he and his brothers met Ye Xingchen, it seemed that they were not doing well. Every time, they were either dead or injured.
“What should we do, big brother? We don’t have much food left.”
They were all men, so they naturally ate a lot on such cold days. Zheng Huaqiang and the others had already moved to the residential area that they had plundered previously. At least they had a house that was airtight on all sides.
However, having a place to live was not enough. The food in this area had basically been robbed by them. Now, there were still so many owners who were basically keeping food in their own houses.
As for the dozen or so brothers from last night…
“Take a few people with you and bring back the corpses of Maizi and the others. Don’t waste them.”
Zheng Huaqiang did not dare to go to Ye Xingchen’s side for a while. More than half of his underlings had been killed by Ye Xingchen.
He had thought that Ye Xingchen only had that lousy fire bottle, but who knew that he had a gun in his hand?
Moreover, according to the situation yesterday, Ye Xingchen did not seem to be using an ordinary pistol. After all, how could a pistol shoot so far?
Previously, Zheng Huaqiang was not that afraid. Even if someone told him that Ye Xingchen had a pistol before, he always thought that Ye Xingchen had a high-quality imitation toy to scare people. After all, in China, it was illegal to collect firearms privately. Moreover, when Zheng Huaqiang was searching for supplies, he found two high-quality imitation toy guns.
But who would have thought that Ye Xingchen’s stuff was actually real?
Zheng Huaqiang’s brothers behind him heard what he said and turned to look at each other. Their faces were filled with struggle and conflict.
They had to prepare themselves mentally for a long time to eat humans, and now, they actually had to…
They had been brothers for many years and had gone through many storms together.
Everyone felt terrible, but no one rejected him.
After all, there was nothing more important than staying alive.
Moreover, if their brothers were left there, even if they did not eat it, outsiders would take it…Then it would be better to let his own people benefit first.
Ye Xingchen’s subordinates had come to clean up the bodies last night.
After a night of snow and ice, the twelve corpses on the ground were frozen white, looking like plastic dummies.
The five people who had been shot in the head by the sniper rifle were scattered and half-buried under the snow.
Ye Xingchen ate breakfast very quickly. He wiped and rinsed his mouth before pushing his snowmobile out.
Today, he was traveling much lighter than yesterday.
He was wearing a pair of bulletproof pants that Lin Sijia had modified from a bulletproof vest last night. On top of that, there were two bulletproof vests that had been modified into a special bulletproof vest with sleeves.
If it wasn’t for the lack of time, Ye Xingchen even wanted Lin Sijia to make a bulletproof hat and a bulletproof mask to protect himself in all aspects.
Ye Xingchen pushed the snowmobile out of the door with layers of bulletproof, stab-proof, and down jackets.
As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the neighborhood, the few people on duty immediately stood up straight. “Brother Xingchen, are you going out?”
Ye Xingchen turned his head and glanced at them. Seeing their fawning expressions, he could not help but feel a little amused.
These were all good neighbors who had tried their best to break into his house before..
