Doomsday Traveler

Chapter 341 Great Harvest

"Ah."

Yao Wei agreed, but suddenly avoided Lu Xi'an's gaze.

She naturally recognized what Lu Xi'an was shaking in her hand. She had seen it in movies and short videos, and had even mentioned it when they were lying in bed talking about what might be on the ship.

I didn't think much of it when it was mentioned, but now that I've seen it, my heart is suddenly pounding and all sorts of random images are flooding my mind!

"Keep this for now, let's go look at other places."

She said it in a slightly stiff tone.

Seeing Yao Wei's expression, Lu Xi'an stopped examining the object in his hand.

—Although he only glanced at it briefly, he was certain that the thing in his hand was a special post-apocalyptic product with an extremely long shelf life. It might still be usable now.

Each box contains ten pieces. Upon careful counting, there are three full rows of boxes stacked here, with twelve boxes in each row, totaling three hundred and sixty pieces.

Then there were five cartons of cigarettes and four bottles of liquor—this safe was quite large.

The former captain of this ship must have been a heavy smoker, drinker, and womanizer.

Lu Xi'an suddenly remembered that this floor should be the crew floor, and there might be safes in the other crew rest rooms as well.

He immediately went to check the other crew rest rooms and found that safes were indeed standard equipment in every crew rest room.

However, the safes in the other lounges are not as large as those in the captain's lounge.

Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei led the dog to look around one by one. In these rest rooms, some safes were open and some were closed.

There's no need to look into those open safes; they're empty, already cleaned out.

When Lu Xi'an opened those closed safes, they mostly contained pistols, bullets, and cash.

The pistol and bullets weren't special supplies for the apocalypse and were no longer usable, but Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei didn't throw them away.

These things are unusable for others, but they are perfectly usable for them; they can be used as concealed weapons.

For these two super-intelligent Type A new humans, why would they need a pistol to fire bullets? Wouldn't it be better to just throw them directly?

In their hands, the effect and range are even more powerful than shooting with a gun.

As for the cash, it was cash from the past, after all. Civilization on the East Island has never ceased. Perhaps we can try taking this cash out to see if it can still be used as currency as before.

Besides these, Lu Xi'an also found a lot of other things in those safes, including two cartons and twelve packs of cigarettes, six bottles of liquor, fifteen boxes of small umbrellas, and thirty-four loose umbrellas.

"It seems that astringency is indeed the most important thing to people."

After searching all the safes, Lu Xi'an couldn't help but sigh.

"Ah."

Yao Wei looked away, feeling embarrassed. A slight tremor ran through her, and she couldn't help but think: So much stuff, how long will it take to use it all?!

And then I thought, we haven't even finished searching all the places on the ship yet. If we keep searching, and if there's still more, we could probably use it all in our lifetime...

"Alright, let's move all these things out and continue searching."

Lu Xian said.

"Ah."

Yao Wei agreed, composed herself, and together with Lu Xi'an, moved all the items onto the deck before continuing their descent.

They reached the engine room and saw a collapsed steel plate on the bottom floor.

The moment the dog saw the steel plate, its eyes lit up and shone directly on it.

Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei exchanged a glance, then immediately stepped forward, lifted the steel plate, and threw it aside.

"Boom!"

The steel plate landed elsewhere with a loud bang, startling Hu Xiaodong, who was waiting outside the ship.

"We still need them!"

Hu Xiaodong couldn't help but sigh, "With such a loud commotion, they must have found something! If this were us, we'd never find anything on a ship again in our lifetime."

Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei, who were in the engine room, had both heard Hu Xiaodong's words, but neither of them paid any attention to them.

What they cared about was what was right in front of them, what had been previously pinned down by the steel plate—

A diesel generator, a waterproof toolbox, and a barrel of industrial lubricating oil.

These items all had nameplates or labels on them, or wrapping paper on them. Although they were blurred due to the passage of time, the words could still be barely made out, so Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei recognized them.

This is quite a harvest!

Lu Xi'an immediately had Gouzi check it out. The diesel generator was broken, but it didn't matter; they only had two things left.

The waterproof toolbox was opened, and inside was a set of tools such as wrenches and screwdrivers, which they could keep as spares.

There's also a multimeter. They don't need it, but Luo Ping can take it back. Maybe the base will need it.

Also, there's insulating tape—keep this in the car, you never know when you might need it.

The remaining industrial lubricant wouldn't be used much on the vehicle, but for Luo Ping and his team, it was something to keep in case of emergency.

"It seems this place is all for Luo Ping and the others."

Lu Xi'an smiled and said, "Let's look at other places."

"Ah."

Yao Wei nodded in agreement.

As usual, the two men moved everything they found in the engine room onto the deck and then continued searching other areas.

Then the dog led them to the sealed cargo hold.

The hydraulic doors to the cargo hold were rusted shut, making them impossible for ordinary people to move. When Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei came to investigate following Gouzi's directions, they immediately knew that something unusual was inside, perhaps containing something valuable. The room that Hu Xiaodong mentioned the islanders of Dongdao couldn't open might be this one.

The two immediately used their overwhelming brute strength as Type A new humans to kick open the rusted hydraulic door. After opening it, they saw the furnishings inside and confirmed that this was definitely a sealed cargo hold on the ship.

Those important supplies should all be stored here!

Upon entering, it was found that there wasn't much inside. Perhaps the person who docked the ship here had already taken a lot of things out?
The cargo hold appeared empty, with an ordinary box that was damp, and two military supply boxes that had been treated to be moisture-proof and waterproof, both of which were intact.

Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei found a tag on the box. Like the other tags, the text on the tag was somewhat blurred, but it was still barely legible.

Recreation room.

韩涛
Song Minglang

Xu Yaoming

……

Lu Xi'an guessed that these boxes must have been moved from the crew's recreation room on the ship. He and Yao Wei had been to the recreation room before, and there was nothing left inside.

Perhaps there's something important inside, which is why it was specially moved from the crew recreation room and hidden here?

The items inside should belong to the three people mentioned on the label, but I don't know who they are...

As they pondered, the two opened the box, only to find that everything inside was wrapped in waterproof sealed bags, each with a label attached.

The bag labeled "Han Tao" contained a waterproof camera. Upon opening it, I found it was out of power.

The dog can probably be charged, but there's no rush now. Let's take it home first and see.

Lu Xi'an was quite curious whether there were any photos inside.

The second waterproof sealed bag was a bit too big, and the label on the sealed bag had Song Minglang's name on it.

Once opened, a chessboard was revealed, which looked like a Go board.

The chessboard has two layers. When the upper layer is opened, the lower layer has grids and stores a bunch of chess pieces, clearly distinguished by black and white, with a considerable number of each.

With so many pieces, it doesn't seem to be Gomoku.

Lu Xi'an thought to himself, and said to Yao Wei with a smile, "We have entertainment tools again, and these things can also be used as hidden weapons."

"Ah."

Yao Wei nodded again and looked at the next sealed bag with Lu Xi'an.

This sealed bag was the largest and quite heavy. When Lu Xi'an held it in his hand, it made a "clanging" sound, as if something was hitting it.

I touched it through the sealed bag and it felt like a cylinder, with liquid inside.

Lu Xi'an suddenly thought of something, quickly opened the sealed bag, and his eyes lit up instantly.

There were eight jars inside, one containing coffee powder and another containing tea leaves.

The other six were all aluminum cans, painted red, with the words "Happy Energy" written on them. Although they didn't have those rounded and coherent English words, their shape always reminded Lu Xi'an of something.

"Let me try it out, is that okay?"

Lu Xi'an asked Yao Wei a question. He could confirm from the description on the jars that these six jars were also a special post-apocalyptic product with an extremely long shelf life.

"Ah."

Yao Wei did not object.

Lu Xi'an immediately pulled the tab on the can, and gas immediately came out with a hissing sound.

Looking through the pull tab, the dark brown liquid was so alluring that Lu Xi'an felt he could already smell it.

That's right!

There are indeed sugary drinks that bring joy to couch potatoes in this world!

Here, however, the "fat otaku's happy water" isn't called by its original name, but rather "happy energy".

"Doggy, is this drinkable?"

Lu Xi'an then asked Gouzi to confirm.

If a dog's eyes are bright, it means there's no problem.

Lu Xi'an immediately took two gulps without hesitation and then burped.

That's it!

He couldn't help but grin, handing the can to Yao Wei and saying, "Here, have a taste."

Yao Wei reached out and took it, took a small bite, but frowned slightly: "It feels... strange."

"Does it taste good?"

Lu Xian asked.

Yao Wei replied, "Yes."

Lu Xi'an laughed: "That settles it then."

So Yao Wei laughed along and took a big gulp.

The two of them finished the can of soda, taking turns sipping it, and then went to check the two military supply boxes.

After opening the two supply boxes, one contained a waterproof medical kit and some medicines, while the other contained waterproof matches, compressed fuel blocks, vacuum-packed dehydrated vegetable seeds, and the like.

There was also a welding gun, two pressure-filled plant nutrient solutions, and two large bags of compressed biscuits.

"What a great harvest!"

Lu Xi'an couldn't help but sigh.
