Chapter 54
Speaking of collecting supplies...
Yun Xiaoxiao immediately walked into the pharmacy.
These were all scarce resources, so naturally, there was no reason to pass them up.
Watching Yun Xiaoxiao brutally sweep all the medicines inside into her possession, Nie Yizhou tried his best to calm his racing heart.
Although he had secretly watched this kid collect things before, seeing it up close again still couldn't help but startle him.
This was practically a modern-day Doraemon!
"Hey, kid, later you should collect all my stuff too."
Nie Yizhou moved closer.
He knew they definitely wouldn't stay in the city for long.
It was too dangerous here.
Since they had to leave, those things would certainly need to be taken along.
Loading them into a car wasn't as convenient as putting them directly into the kid's space.
How convenient that would be.
Yun Xiaoxiao pursed her lips, "Aren't you afraid I'll keep it all for myself?"
"It's fine, keep it if you want. Worst case, I'll just cry myself to death."
Nie Yizhou pretended to be heartbroken, wiping nonexistent tears from the corner of his eye.
Yun Xiaoxiao was amused by him.
Seeing Yun Xiaoxiao laugh, Nie Yizhou couldn't help but smile too.
"But I'm very curious, how big is your space?"
Yun Xiaoxiao rubbed her chin, thinking for a moment.
"It should be quite large, I guess."
Nie Yizhou: ...Great answer, no need to answer next time.
Nie Yizhou stood in the middle, placing his hands on both of their shoulders, one on each side.
The next second, all three of them disappeared simultaneously.
"Did I teleport to the wrong place?!"
As soon as they appeared, Nie Yizhou was dumbfounded.
The room that was originally packed full of things now had nothing but some trash and immovable office desks and computers. All the supplies had completely vanished!
"This isn't right, the goldfish bowl is still here, and it even has the little turtle I drew on it.
Hey, that's not important. What's important is, I'm certain this is where I was before, but where are my things?"
"There, down below," Yun Xiaoxiao said, standing in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, pointing downwards.
Nie Yizhou immediately ran over.
Below, there was a large white truck parked, along with a small truck and two black armored vehicles.
Some people were standing around the vehicles with guns, vigilantly guarding them.
Others were busy loading things into the vehicles.
"Damn it, we've been robbed!" Nie Yizhou cursed angrily.
"To be precise, it's not really robbery. There was no one guarding this place, so if others came searching for supplies, do you think they would pass it up?" Yun Xiaoxiao said matter-of-factly.
If it were her, she would definitely take things from an unguarded place with supplies too.
Nie Yizhou ruffled his hair, looking very upset.
"What you're saying is right, but it still makes me so angry! I brought all this stuff here bit by bit from other places!"
"I have an idea that might make you feel better," Yun Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow, her eyes full of mischief.
Nie Yizhou immediately perked up, "What? What is it?"
"How about we secretly follow them and take everything back?" Yun Xiaoxiao shrugged her eyebrows, looking very sneaky.
"I think that's an excellent idea!"
Nie Yizhou extended his hand, high-fiving Yun Xiaoxiao as they reached an agreement.
Watching the two act so sneaky, loudly plotting and laughing deviously, Lu Chen's eyebrows twitched.
He even felt a bit sorry for those people down there who were still huffing and puffing, working hard to move things.
In the pitch-black night.
Three figures secretly hid in the bushes diagonally across from an abandoned prison in the northeast direction of Rong City.
"Brother Chen, crouch down."
Seeing Lu Chen standing straight, Nie Yizhou quickly pulled him down.
Just as Lu Chen crouched, several vehicles whooshed past not far in front of them on the gravel road.
Finally, they steadily stopped at the prison's main gate.
The lead armored vehicle sounded its horn, and immediately two beams of electric light swept over from two tall watchtowers inside the prison.
After a while, the electric lights disappeared, and the iron gate opened from the inside.
The vehicles drove in one after another.
Fifteen minutes later, three human figures silently appeared on the lawn inside the prison.
The weeds inside had all been flattened.
They hid behind an abandoned police car, looking at the large truck parked not far away. Just as they were about to move, they noticed two completely drunk men walking towards them.
They quietly moved to the other side of the abandoned police car.
Soon, they heard the sound of two streams of liquid 'whooshing' down.
Yun Xiaoxiao was about to turn her head to look when a large hand covered her face and pulled her back.
"There's nothing worth seeing," Lu Chen said coldly.
Nie Yizhou also chimed in, "Indeed, it's ugly and small."
Lu Chen: ...
Yun Xiaoxiao: ??
After there was no more movement from that direction, the three of them came out from behind the police car and quietly moved to the side of the large truck.
Lu Chen took out a piece of wire and opened the lock on the back of the truck.
"Brother Chen, you even have this skill?!" Nie Yizhou lowered his voice, full of admiration.
Watching Lu Chen pick the lock, Yun Xiaoxiao pursed her lips, finding the scene very familiar.
"Kid, it's all up to you now!" Nie Yizhou said expectantly, hoping Yun Xiaoxiao would immediately collect everything from inside the truck.
Watching the areas Yun Xiaoxiao passed immediately become empty, Nie Yizhou's eyes gleamed brightly.
Satisfying!
So satisfying!
Collect! Collect it all!
"Brother Chen, there's another small truck over there. Should we open that one too?" Nie Yizhou moved closer to Lu Chen, raising his eyebrows suggestively.
His eyes were full of anticipation.
Lu Chen glanced at Yun Xiaoxiao, who was happily collecting supplies, and without a word, walked towards the small truck nearby.
After Lu Chen opened the door of the small truck, Yun Xiaoxiao had also finished collecting everything from inside the large truck.
The three of them stood together in front of the truck's door.
Lu Chen opened the door.
But as soon as the door opened, all three of them were slightly stunned.
Because inside weren't supplies, but... people.
And all of them were women!
There were five people inside in total, all appearing to be under twenty-five years old.
They were curled up fearfully inside the truck, some with tattered clothes, some with messy hair, some with visible injuries...
"Who's over there?!"
Suddenly, a gruff, questioning voice rang out.
Immediately after, the sound of several footsteps headed in their direction.
"Oh no, someone's coming, quick, let's go!"
Nie Yizhou immediately grabbed Yun Xiaoxiao and Lu Chen and teleported.
However...
Yun Xiaoxiao glanced at the two men who had already disappeared beside her, and at herself who remained unmoved, and immediately cursed under her breath in frustration.
Nie Yizhou, can't you be more reliable?!
