Apocalypse: After Being Reborn, I Stocked Up on All Supplies-Chapter 145 - Departure!

Chapter 145: Chapter 145 Departure!

“Now there are still some houses exposed above the water, and we are quite familiar with this city. It will just take a bit of time, but we can identify them from memory.

As long as we use them as reference points to find our way, then, even without navigation, we can find those buildings.

I remember, I once bought a compass, I’ll go find it!” Sun Jingtao turned and entered his study.

A surge of excitement arose among them.

Indeed, three cobblers together surpass Zhuge Liang.

The four of them resolved to act swiftly, quickly discussing a detailed plan, and Sun Jingtao even hand-drew two reference maps, which he put in ziplock bags.

...

After much thought, the others also called up the martial arts instructor, Zhao Pengfei.

Because they were unfamiliar with Ma Longbiao and his gang’s stronghold, the people they sent needed to be skillful rather than numerous.

Four people with weapons were enough.

Tian Jiliang also managed to gather an assortment of axes and long knives, and had someone bring them up.

Zhao Pengfei, the only one without a gun, picked up two axes and three daggers, then sent them down again.

The final decision was for Su Dai to take charge of staying home to guard the house.

She actually very much wanted to go, but she knew that if she did, she’d only hold them back, unable to help much.

Moreover, people downstairs had already started relocating to the 32nd floor corridor.

If she also left, it wouldn’t be impossible for someone to take over their home, so in the end, she chose to stay behind.

They agreed that the next morning, at first light, they would embark on their journey.

As for tonight, it was still best to get a good rest to conserve energy.

Jiang Yan bid farewell to the others and returned to 3201.

More had happened today than in the previous week combined.

She couldn’t help feeling exhausted.

Yet, the thought of victory in sight filled her with renewed energy.

Earlier at Su Dai’s place, while they were busy discussing strategies, by the time they remembered to eat, the instant noodles had gone cold.

They were all swollen and unappetizing to look at.

Jiang Yan didn’t eat.

Back home, the fire in the fireplace had long since died.

She couldn’t be bothered to light it again.

Not knowing what tomorrow would bring, Jiang Yan decided to gather all the resources in the house, even the planting pots that were about to sprout, and put them into the Space.

She went straight into the Space, and after washing up, she hurriedly ate a spicy dry pot beef meal.

She was supposed to eat shrimp, but with a battle ahead, beef would give her more strength.

After dinner, Jiang Yan still routinely turned on her computer, redrafted her blueprint, and made Hua Bao memorize the drawings and parameters.

Not only that, but she also assigned Hua Bao a task: to go on the computer and memorize the appearances of all the buildings in the city over 22 stories high.

While Hua Bao was frantically “overtime” in front of the computer, Jiang Yan had already yawned and lay down in bed early.

The next morning, before dawn, they all gathered at Sun Jingtao’s home.

Tian Jiliang also organized people downstairs to contribute a few light-colored raincoats.

Such colored raincoats were less likely to be spotted.

Jiang Yan was well-prepared for today: Bulletproof Vest, sleeve arrows, rainproof and fog-proof night vision glasses, cold-proof and waterproof clothes, insulated waterproof shoes, a complete set.

For her outerwear, she casually wore a sporty outfit that was easy to move in.

Her glasses used the latest technology, which would show coordinates and other parameters on the lenses if there was network and Bluetooth.

Regrettably, only the basic functions were left, but they were still quite impressive.

Although they set out early in the morning, they would act at night.

The glasses had night vision, which was a great help.

She had a lot of Bulletproof Vests in the Space, but lacked a good reason to bring them out.

She could only hope the other three would be a bit luckier.

Su Dai made some sugar water with the last bit of Honey and dry ginger left at home for everyone.

After drinking a large bowl each, she put the rest in some thermal mugs:

“The weather is too cold, keep the rest with you, and drink it to warm up when you can.”

She also packed some chocolate and biscuits for them.

The chocolate had deformed in the high temperatures and it was uncertain if it had spoiled, but it was still considered a decent supplement.

As for water, Ye Qing carried two bottles of mineral water, but they were for Jiang Yan.

Those rough men could make do with some rainwater.

Jiang Yan also took out the prepared glasses from her backpack, with an excuse she’d thought of in advance:

“These glasses were sponsored by sponsors to the work team when I went live to survive in the wilderness before; there are still a few pairs left. I’m not sure if they fit you.”

The three men accepted them with surprise, tried them on, and the size happened to be just right.

Zhao Pengfei exclaimed with delight, “Heaven! These glasses have a night vision effect? I feel like I can see every corner of the room so much clearer!”

They were about to confront bandits face-to-face, and to say he wasn’t scared or under pressure would be lying.

But seeing everyone so well-prepared and working together, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of pride.

Su Dai hugged Sun Jingtao and Jiang Yan with some reluctance, her voice choked up:

“I’ll wait for you at home, you must come back safely!”

There wasn’t much to say, but her eyes were moist and red.

This expedition was fraught with danger.

Sun Jingtao and Ye Qing, the three of them, were all resolved to die if necessary to wipe out the enemy.

Jiang Yan, on the other hand, was somewhat more relaxed in her heart, even feeling a twinge of excited anticipation.

After all, they were about to find a batch of Gold and jewels.

The upgrade of her Space was in sight.

As for death, she wasn’t afraid; she could always flee into the Space if things got dire.

Besides, she had Hua Bao, a powerful weapon.

But she didn’t show much of this on her face.

After everyone was ready and said their goodbyes, they left.

Ye Qing carried the rubber dinghy and walked behind.

Many people had already moved to the 32nd-floor corridor and the elevator area.

Most were still sound asleep, but a few, bleary-eyed, saw them fully armed and carrying the rubber dinghy out.

No one dared to ask; they unanimously chose to feign sleep.

Just as the five of them reached the emergency exit, the door of 3203 creaked open, and Zhou Wei emerged.

He carefully held a Door-breaking Hammer and cautiously suggested:

“This, might you have use for it?”

Sun Jingtao wasn’t sure what he was trying to imply and shook his head, wary.

“Don’t worry, go ahead; I’ll keep an eye on your homes,” Zhou Wei said, pursing his lips and lowering his voice.

They exchanged glances, saying nothing.

Jiang Yan gave him a look; with his surveillance skills and sharp eyes, not being a spy was indeed a waste!

“That…” Zhou Wei gulped, hesitating.

“Go back inside, wife; let’s go,” Sun Jingtao, his expression solemn, didn’t pay much heed to Zhou Wei’s words.

Right now the corridor was crowded with many onlookers; any farewells and expressions had been done inside the house.

“Yes.”

Tears formed in Su Dai’s eyes, but she secretly pinched her fingers and didn’t let a single tear fall.

“My son is named Zhou Haotian, and he’s 8 years old this year,” Zhou Wei didn’t say much and suddenly knelt down, kowtowing heavily to the group.

They took one deep breath and headed downstairs without a promise, as they couldn’t promise anything.

Outside, it was already dawn.

They hurried down the building without delay.

The water level had risen up to just below the 23rd floor, so they headed straight to the 23rd-floor corridor.

The windows were quickly removed, the group donned their raincoats, put on their glasses, and jumped into the water one after the other.

The rain lashed against them, and the cold wind howled.

Apart from Jiang Yan, the others couldn’t help shivering.

Their roles had been decided beforehand.

Jiang Yan and Ye Qing were to manage the compass to identify buildings and be on the lookout with the telescope.

Sun Jingtao and Zhao Pengfei were responsible for paddling.

Watching the Shallow Bay District grow smaller behind them, Sun Jingtao couldn’t help but feel a sense of melancholy.

The last time he felt this way was when he and his comrades were deployed on a short-term peacekeeping mission in a war-torn country.

But this time, they were fighting not only for themselves but also to protect the last bit of their homeland.
