While others are struggling to survive and slaying zombies in the apocalypse, I'm hoarding supp

Xiao Helin lowered his eyes and smiled.

"It's just a storage room, nothing much to see. I'll show Miss Luo around the unique streets of our base."

Seeing that he was laughing it off, Luo Ning stopped and didn't move.

She dislikes beating around the bush.

If Xiao Helin were to generously give her something now...

She then left him a little something.

If she's deliberately trying to hide it, then don't blame her for being ruthless later.

"Boss Xiao, don't hide your good stuff. Show it to me so I can see it for myself," Luo Ning said with a smile.

Seeing her like that, Xiao Helin knew that she was going to have to pay a price today.

It's also his fault for being too cocky earlier, which led him to come over here.

But in order to please Luo Ning, he gritted his teeth and led his men in that direction.

Illumination fingerprint unlocking opens the first door.

It was full of guns and ammunition.

Luo Ning stepped inside and couldn't help but admire Xiao Helin's abilities.

He managed to get so much ammunition in such a short time.

"Most of these were shipped back from abroad. I had them brought in from overseas as soon as the apocalypse started. They're in pretty good condition, aren't they?"

Seeing Luo Ning's gaze fall on the guns and ammunition, Xiao Helin finally straightened his chest.

He had just described so much about the base's infrastructure to her, but she didn't react at all.

It seems they don't take those infrastructure projects seriously.

Now that you see his weapon, you finally know how powerful he is.

His base has many metal-type ability users, and these weapons are used in conjunction with them.

It can increase combat power by two levels when outside.

Luo Ning glanced at the back wall, and Xiao Helin immediately tensed up.

Did she find out?

Impossible. It's a hidden door; no normal person could find it unless she has X-ray vision.

Luo Ning glanced at it casually before looking away.

The best stuff is inside, but she knew Xiao Helin would never let her in.

It's okay, she can just come and get what she knows later.

It's just a matter of making one more trip.

Seeing that she had looked away, Xiao Helin quietly let out a sigh of relief.

He generously addressed Luo Ning, "Miss Luo, please take whatever you like."

Luo Ning picked up a submachine gun and gestured, "Really, just take whatever you want?"

Xiao Helin looked at the guns in her arms with heartache; it had taken her a lot of effort to retrieve them.

"Well, we can't be so casual. Miss Luo, pick three items from here, and I'll give them to you."

Xiao Helin pretended to be generous when he spoke, but in reality he was heartbroken.

These were his means of livelihood; to casually give away three of them was like tearing his flesh out.

"Ten items."

Luo Ning aimed his gun at a mutated bird outside the house.

"boom--"

The mutated bird exploded instantly, and bits of flesh and blood fell from the sky.

Xiao Helin turned around, and the guards outside immediately surrounded him.

It was a mutated bat, hiding in the dead branches, almost blending into them.

Bats are mostly inactive during the day and only become active at night.

But the people at the base didn't even notice when it got there.

Xiao Helin was shocked. He had just passed by there with her and hadn't noticed anything unusual.

Luo Ning sheathed the gun, rubbed the muzzle, and thought, "Not bad, very comfortable."

"Boss Xiao, ten pieces, each with two boxes of ammunition. From now on, we're friends. Since we're friends, it's no big deal to give a friend a little something as a token of our friendship."

Xiao Helin looked at the gun in her arms, not daring to ask who she was before the apocalypse. After all, ordinary people in the country were prohibited from carrying guns before the apocalypse, and according to his investigation, she was just an ordinary college student.

Also, that mutated bat was clearly infected with the zombie virus; it was a mutated zombie bat.

An ordinary gun wouldn't be able to tear her flesh apart with a single shot, and the gun in her hand hadn't been enhanced at all.

Is she a metal-type ability user?

No, he had seen her fight at the official base; she was clearly a wood-type ability user.

How do you explain what just happened?

Xiao Helin was very confused, and his gaze toward Luo Ning became even more wary.

But sending ten items really hurt his wallet. "How about five? Five boxes of ammunition?"

Luo Ning looked at him with a half-smile.

Xiao Helin spoke with heartache.

"Miss Luo, I went through a lot of trouble to get every single weapon here. As you can see, there are so many people in our base, one weapon per person isn't enough. I also have to support my family, life is tough."

To make her carry two fewer guns, Xiao Helin even resorted to feigning helplessness.

"Is Boss Xiao sure he wants to compete with me in misery?"

Luo Ning picked out a gun and threw it into the bracelet space. Xiao Helin dared not speak.

After all, two menacing vines grew from her back, as thick as an adult's arm and as big as pythons.

He could only watch helplessly as Luo Ning took away his ten best weapons.

Luo Ning put the last gun into his spatial storage. "Boss Xiao, your business is huge, unlike my small workshop. I could barely make ends meet."

Seeing that she had finally stopped moving after choosing the last gun, Xiao Helin finally managed a strained smile.

"Miss Luo is joking. You could lie on your balcony all day doing nothing and not starve."

"You can't just lie there doing nothing. If you don't protect yourself, who knows when someone will target you and wipe you out. Boss Xiao should be well aware of this."

Luo Ning got ten weapons for free, and even his fake smile became much more sincere.

Xiao Helin's smile froze. He understood that Luo Ning was warning him, warning him not to make any moves on her.

Nodding, "Miss Luo is right. We really can't relax too much in this apocalyptic world, or we might suddenly die at someone's hands without even knowing it."

"Yes, in the apocalypse, survival depends entirely on your fists. Whoever has the strongest fist will live longer."

Xiao Helin stared at her for a while, then suddenly smiled, "Yes, Miss Luo sees things clearly. I need to learn a lot from you."

Upon hearing his words, Luo Ning felt the vines behind her shorten.

"I don't dare to learn from others, but let's learn from each other."

Xiao Helin gestured towards the shadows, then relaxed his fist. "It's good to learn from each other. From now on, let's learn from each other. Miss Luo, please don't turn me away then."

The vines behind Luo Ning receded a little, and he mentally reminded 123 to relax their vigilance.

"No, I hope Mr. Xiao will take good care of my business when I open it in the future."

Xiao Helin's expression relaxed even more. "Oh, Miss Luo is planning to do business? What kind of business?"

Luo Ning walked outside. "It's nothing. You know, I have some vegetables and fruits on my terrace. I can't eat that much myself, so I'm planning to sell them to make a living."

Xiao Helin followed behind her, saying, "Miss Luo, those fruits and vegetables on your terrace are indeed very tempting. If you ever open for business, please don't forget me and save some for me."
