Chapter 414: Chapter 39: Abundant Supplies and a Run for Life

"If half of it can be used, then we’ve struck gold." Old Pavel tore up boxes with a grin on his face. The room was roughly the size of a basketball court. Even if only 30% of the ammunition was good to go, it would still be quite a haul.

The young soldiers couldn’t wait to ditch their worn-out rifles and rummage through ammo boxes. After swapping their bird guns for real weapons, excitement was written on everyone’s face.

"How are you all going to fight, lugging around so many weapons?" Dantai Zongqi raised an eyebrow, these people were used to being poor and suddenly getting rich made them frenzied. They hung short and long guns all over their bodies, each had at least three guns, and were stuffing bullets into their pockets, trying to use every available inch.

The young soldiers only paused for a moment and continued their haul without paying any attention.

"Never mind, carrying a few back would be enough. I bet they could sell for ten thousand bottle caps, any extra is pointless." Gao Yu was lenient. He played the generous card, after all, these supplies weren’t his. If he knew about the bookstore’s task of exchanging signs, he would definitely be the first to propose wiping out the wasteland. "Lu Fan, have you found the machine guns?"

Silver Trojan allowed the toy to communicate with the Russians, but it couldn’t recognize words. This just showed that it was stingy, forcing everyone to spend points on the language master specialty.

Lu Fan pulled a box in front of Gao Yu, "PKP Machine Gun. Look for the bullets yourself."

"Let’s keep the original distribution method. Even if you can’t walk away, these are all yours. Now everyone prepare your ammo clips, don’t let it impact the fight." Tang Zheng assembled the NSV Heavy Machine Gun he found, he took an ammunition box and went outside to set up defense.

Little Lolita saw her Uncle signaling her and immediately followed him out.

"Take them all." Lu Fan lowered his voice and made a fist, after all, Alice’s apron could hold an indefinite amount of items.

"Absolutely." Tang Zheng wore the Hellfire gear, quickly blew open the plastic doors of the warehouse, Lu Fan immediately rushed in, spread out Alice’s apron, and activated the absorption feature. With her wave, all supplies quickly disappeared, entering the storage space.

"Guns, bullets, hand grenades, single soldier anti-tank weapons, uniforms....." Tang Zheng swept a glance and felt that the trip was worth it. These supplies could probably equip a division, and there were even tanks and armored vehicles. But due to a decades-long lack of maintenance, some precision parts had corroded. It was expected that they wouldn’t make it two kilometers before breaking down. Besides, they didn’t have fuel.

"Let’s leave these war chariots for the Chinese descent people. Who knows, maybe they could take over Moscow with these." Lu Fan scoffed. He had gotten used to all these items. "Additionally, there is a warehouse with flour and canned meat, all infested with bugs. But I guess wasteland people wouldn’t care."

"Take it first and discuss later. Anything we can’t exchange, we give away." Tang Zheng looked behind him. Someone outside had found the emptied warehouse, amazement written all over his face. He laughed, "What should we do?"

"Just exterminate them." Lu Fan shrugged his hands and resumed his work. "There should be several similar refuges underneath Moscow. It would be great if we could find them."

"Don’t get greedy." No sooner had Tang Zheng finished his sentence when a young soldier ran over, panting. "Group Leader, the warehouse is empty."

"The people from the refuge must have used it up." Tang Zheng replied with a straight face. Some of the supplies in the warehouses were seen by them. Otherwise, he would have exterminated them, not leaving a single hair.

"Really annoying." The young soldier grumbled and left. When he reported back, the other wasteland dwellers displayed similar attitudes. The entire warehouse quickly filled with curses.

"So ungrateful." Gao Yu played with a handgun. "You guys should think about how to transport the supplies out of these warehouses."

Upon hearing this, people lost interest in further exploration. They reported to Tang Zheng and prepared to evacuate. After all, these gains would be enough for them to live comfortably for over a decade. Further search would be a high-risk low-return endeavor.

Tang Zheng also agreed to leave. But they had just packed their stuff when seven ghouls rushed in, creating a panic in the warehouse. Everyone was startled and immediately launched counterattacks.

Wasteland warriors had all changed to PKP modern machine guns. Among the dazzle from the muzzle flame, an intensive barrage turned the unfortunate ghouls into charred meat.

"Damn it, aren’t these things afraid of death?" A few young warriors squirmed at the loss of ammunition and wanted to go back and get more.

"No, we should leave at once." Tang Zheng had a bad feeling all of a sudden, and had the warriors serve as vanguards.

"Listen, what’s that noise?" Old Pavel strained his ears, looking grave. Not just him, others heard it too. A subtle sound which was rapidly amplifying was rolling toward the warehouse.

Everyone stepped back, aiming their guns at the gate. A few tactical flashlights shone around, but nothing was in sight.

Tang Zheng pulled out a glow stick, cracked it, and a soft light immediately came on. He threw it with all his might.

"Radiation Scorpions." Yin Shangwu had the best eyesight and spotted the radiation scorpions immediately. Although their size was only that of an ordinary hunting dog, there were too many of them. They clustered densely, like a tide, pouring towards the warehouse. That rustling sound was from their crawling.

The glowsticks were immediately obscured as they crawled past.

"Old Gao, load the bullets." Tang Zheng picked up a 12.7mm heavy machine gun, aimed it at the gate, checked the bullet chain, and then pulled the breechblock.
