Chapter 886: Chapter 386 Journey_3

The woman said, "I’m in the frozen food business. We import frozen goods, then process and package them. For instance, a chicken wing—we cut it into two parts, the drumette and the wingette. Our business also includes things you eat every day like burger meat, steaks, and so on. My factory is in the suburbs of North City."

Lin Wu shook his head, "The suburbs are relatively safe now. I believe your factory is gone."

"I know, but in West City’s suburbs there are a few cold storage warehouses, one of which is a small workshop hidden in the basement of a building." The woman explained, "We send the offcuts to this workshop where they’re ground up and combined to make feed sold to breeding farms. In a sense, it’s illegal. Two weeks ago, inspections were strict, so I temporarily shut down the workshop. But all the offcuts are still in the warehouse there."

Lin Wu said with difficulty, "We can’t go to West City’s suburbs."

After a moment of thought, the woman pulled out car keys, "My car is in the Mercury Building Parking Garage. Not just a parking spot, inside the garage—a car worth 800,000 dollars."

Lin Wu said, "Beauty, there are cars everywhere on the streets."

The woman looked towards a nearby recliner massage parlor, "Or perhaps... could I trade something for a gun?"

"What?" It took a while for Lin Wu to react. He quickly said, "Let’s not do that."

Someone nearby also said, "Sister Li, let it go."

Apologetically nodding his head, Lin Wu was ready to leave when Sister Li called out to Lin Wu again, "My ex-husband is a doomsday prepper. Outside of East Suburb Town, in the forest, he has a piece of property. I’ve been there once. At the time, he was working on it and was said to be digging a second level underground. They have a doomsday prepper group; everyone stores radios, solar panels, canned goods. He also bought a batch of food with a shelf life of over 25 years."

"This isn’t important to us." The neighbor hoards food, I hoard guns. It’s believed that thousands of residents have retreated to East Suburb Town. Even you, his ex-wife, know he’s stockpiling supplies, so those workers, townsfolk, and prepper group members must know too. Now with these events, anyone can imagine that a doomsday shelter is the best place for survival.

Lin Meng watched Sister Li’s pleading and desperate gaze, gave Lin Wu a nudge, and Lin Wu looked at Sister Li, "One handgun won’t be much help to you."

Sister Li said, "The handgun isn’t for taking out zombies, but for defending against robbers. We have a lot of food and water, and we’ve thought of how to deal with zombies coming downstairs after the alarm system fails. But we’re powerless against external robbers."

Lin Wu asked, "Do you know how to use a gun?"

Sister Li replied, "I’ve spent a few months at a shooting club, I’m quite familiar with it."

Lin Wu reached out, took the handgun from Lin Meng, removed the magazine, and placed it on the table, then disassembled the gun into several parts and also placed them on the table, saying, "Let’s go."

Someone nearby tried to approach to take the gun, but Sister Li hurriedly stopped them. She bowed to Lin Wu and said, "Thank you."

"You’re welcome."

Sister Li said, "My ex-husband’s shelter is located three kilometers due north of Northern Desert Town."

"Thanks." Lin Wu nodded, and walked with Xiao Wu and Lin Meng towards the restroom. Xiao Wu and Lin Meng also nodded in farewell to everyone.

Approaching the restroom, Lin Wu and company had already seen the vertical elevator. Lin Meng pressed the button to open the elevator doors. Lin Wu walked out, and from around the corner, called out to Sister Li, who was more than ten meters away, "Hey."

Sister Li looked towards Lin Wu. He dropped a section of spring connected to a small iron rod on the ground, then waved goodbye, and joined Xiao Wu and Lin Meng in the elevator.
