"Sun Mo, what are you doing?"
Yun Yao jumped in fright when she saw Sun Mo's reaction. (You will be killed if you cause trouble here!) She hurriedly put down the coffee and pulled Sun Mo out.
"Brother Zhang, we're tired. Shall we go and rest first?"
Brother Zhang smiled, admiring Yunyao's poor acting skills.
"Don't you think those coffees look familiar?"
Sun Mo pulled Yun Yao's hand away.
"Familiar?"
Yun Yao didn't understand. She glanced at the coffee and got angry. "Do you know how expensive this is? Apart from the big shots of the various forces, ordinary people couldn't even drink it. How could it be familiar? This is the first time I've seen it! "
"Are you sure? You just saw it. "
Sun Mo was helpless. As expected, this girl's intelligence was so low.
"Uh, why did you say it out loud?"
Yun Yao subconsciously hugged her backpack and complained unhappily, because there were only a few bags of coffee in it. She was going to take them home and enjoy them slowly.
"The packaging of the coffee is the same!"
Sun Mo gave his answer.
"So what?"
Yun Yao didn't understand.
"This means that Brother Zhang's coffee might also have come from the reserve!"
Sun Mo looked toward Big Brother Zhang.
"Ah?"
Yunyao scratched her head, confused. "You're saying that Brother Zhang already knew the location of the reserve? Then why did he ask someone else to find it? "
"You have to ask him!"
Sun Mo sat down and picked up the cup of coffee, tasting it.
"When did you find out?"
Brother Zhang was curious.
"From the moment I entered this colony, I had my suspicions. In this cruel external environment, no matter how merciful you are, you have to ensure that there is only one voice in the colony. After all, you can go hungry, but your subordinates can't. If they don't have enough to eat, they will definitely rebel."
"But you didn't. The management here is very lax. You let those people do whatever they want, but your soldiers, although they aren't glowing with health, are obviously not in a state of long-term hunger. At first, I thought that your supplies came from robbery, but Tang Qiao definitely wouldn't be satisfied with you doing this. After all, he has a lot of power, so why should you get a share?"
"Plus, Yunyao told me that you were the one who told everyone about the Reserve Warehouse, so the answer is obvious."
Sun Mo deduced and spoke frankly with assurance.
Pa pa pa!
"Wonderful!"
Big Brother Zhang applauded, feeling very satisfied with Sun Mo's performance.
"Ah? Was he right? "
Yun Yao was shocked, "But why did you do this?"
"What do you think?
Big Brother Zhang asked.
Yun Yao thought about it and shook her head honestly, "I don't know!"
After that, he looked toward Sun Mo.
This man is amazing. I've lived here for so many years, but I didn't notice this.
"Are you selecting people for a certain purpose?"
Sun Mo guessed.
"Not bad!"
Big Brother Zhang said frankly, "I've said it before. Only knowledge can keep humans from dying. And now, I'm looking for someone who can inherit the 'tinder'."
"Fire seed?"
Yun Yao had a headache and weakly suggested, "Can't we talk like a human?"
Big Brother Zhang looked at Yunyao dotingly. He wrote down a set of numbers and showed them to Sun Mo and Yun Yao.
"What is this?"
Yun Yao was confused.
Big Brother Zhang glanced at Sun Mo.
Sun Mo frowned and pondered for a few seconds. Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration. "This is a set of coordinates?"
"That's right. This is a set of numbers left behind by my teacher. After passing through a certain formula, I can calculate a coordinate that points toward the 'tinder'.
"With the tinder, I can end this apocalypse and let the world regain its vitality!
"It's a pity that my knowledge is limited and I only know a rough direction."
Big Brother Zhang sighed.
"What a pity!"
Yun Yao sighed.
"Yunyao, are you willing to take the risk?"
Big Brother Zhang asked.
"What do you mean?"
Yun Yao blinked. "You want me to search for the tinder?"
"Mn!"
Big Brother Zhang felt a little awkward. "Asking you guys to search for the tinder based on the coordinates is a form of 'murder'. But I really don't wish to see humanity being wiped out."
"Before Yunyao, how many people did you choose?"
Sun Mo was curious.
"Three, but only one of them set off on the journey. The remaining two were killed by me."
Big Brother Zhang's words sounded like a threat.
Sun Mo nodded. After all, if it was anyone else, they would definitely want to live a few years of peaceful days without worrying about food and clothing after discovering such an abundant supply.
"One year ago, Big Brother Li suddenly left. Did he go to search for the tinder?"
Yun Yao thought of Big Brother Li who had always taken care of her but suddenly left the gathering place to wander.
"Yes!"
Big Brother Zhang explained, "Searching for the supply warehouse is a trial. I need those who will never give up in the face of difficulties and dangers. Yunyao, I've seen your performance during these few years. I admire you very much."
Searching for the supply warehouse required time. At the start, many people were eager to give it a try. But gradually, they lost their motivation because they didn't find anything.
After all, they would be exhausted just from searching for food every day. Who would still want to go to a supply warehouse that might not even exist?
"There's no need to say anymore. I'll go!"
Yunyao looked at Sun Mo. "You will come with me, right?"
"It's very dangerous outside!"
Sun Mo frowned.
"I've long wanted to go out and take a look!"
Yun Yao longed for the future, "I don't want to die without even seeing a famous mountain or a vast blue sky!"
"I'll prepare sufficient supplies for you guys, as well as an off-road vehicle. We'll set off three days later!"
Big Brother Zhang was very familiar with this process. It was just that some trouble occurred during this period.
On the second morning, over ten cars stopped outside the gathering place. Over 300 armed thugs blocked the entrance.
"Zhang Guoye, you brat, you're too much. I admire you and allowed you to stay here, but in the end, you want to monopolize everything. Isn't this too much?"
On a modified truck, a middle-aged man over 40 years old held a microphone and cursed loudly.
"If you don't tell me the secret of the supply warehouse today, this daddy will burn this place down."
This person was none other than Tang Qiao.
The people in the gathering place instantly panicked. Some wanted to escape, while others prepared to resist. After all, Tang Qiao's reputation wasn't good. He had killed people and skinned them quite a bit.
Sun Mo and Yunyao immediately went to look for Big Brother Zhang.
"What should we do?"
Yunyao was so anxious that her forehead was covered in sweat. She also blamed herself.
She must have been seen by someone.
Yunyao's guess wasn't wrong. When they came out yesterday with a load of supplies, they were coincidentally seen by someone. That fellow then sold this news to Tang Qiao.
"The supplies we've prepared are still a little lacking, but we can set off now!"
Big Brother Zhang passed a piece of paper to Sun Mo. "This is the map of the jeep's location. You guys can go there yourselves!"
"What about you?"
Yunyao was worried.
"Naturally, I'm going to meet Tang Qiao!"
Big Brother Zhang took out a diary from his drawer and passed it to Sun Mo.
"You can take a look when you have time!"
Big Brother Zhang smiled amicably. After patting Sun Mo and Yunyao's shoulders, he walked out.
Although this diary was quite old, it was very well protected. There was a row of small words on the cover.
With knowledge, there would be hope!
"What should we do?"
Yunyao glanced at Sun Mo. "I feel that we should help them. We'll leave after we defeat Tang Qiao!"
"Don't waste the time that Big Brother Zhang has bought for us."
Sun Mo urged Yunyao to leave quickly.
Big Brother Zhang was an intelligent person. The location where he hid the jeep was more concealed. Moreover, as the battle started, Tang Qiao's soldiers wouldn't have the time to surround the gathering place with so many people.
Sun Mo and Yunyao sprinted madly along the underground tunnel. In the end, they climbed out from a collapsed tunnel and entered a building at the side of the main road.
In a corner of the garage, Sun Mo saw the jeep that was covered by a pile of trash bags.
Sun Mo opened the door, got in the jeep, and started the engine.
After Sun Mo stepped on the accelerator, the engine roared, causing the jeep to be like a wild horse that had broken free of its reins, rushing out.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
From the gathering place, the faint sound of cannons could be heard.
"They actually used cannons?"
Yunyao turned her head and looked over.
Cannons were great killing weapons that were used to suppress enemies. It seemed like Tang Qiao was determined to kill Big Brother Zhang this time around.
...
Three hours later, the battle ended and the gathering place was breached.
"Damn it, if you don't tell me today, I'll skin you alive!"
Tang Qiao was very angry. Only Zhang Guoye's 30 men had fought against him, and the difference in military strength was over 5: 1. However, his side had lost over 100 men.
The quality of the soldiers on both sides was about the same, but the weapons of Zhang Guoye's subordinates were simply too good. This strengthened Tang Qiao's determination to obtain the reserve warehouse.
"You haven't caught me yet!"
Zhang Guoye mocked and lit up a cigarette.
He usually wouldn't smoke such things because they were too rare. He didn't want his subordinates to feel that it was unfair.
"Do you think you can still run?"
Tang Qiao's son mocked.
Right now, they had already trapped Zhang Guoye in the room. The thugs in the surroundings made it hard for him to escape.
"Who said that I'm going to run?"
Zhang Guoye spoke in disdain. He used a lighter to light up the fuse under him.
"Oh no!"
Tang Qiao felt that something was wrong. "Quick, two of you go in. The others, disperse."
Just when Tang Qiao pulled his son and retreated over 30 meters away, an explosion rang out with a boom.
Zhang Guoye had long since planted explosives under the house.
...
In the jeep, there were sufficient supplies.
"Do you want to save some food?"
During dinner, Yunyao watched as Sun Mo fried luncheon meat, cooked porridge with dried vegetables, and even paired it with canned fish. She felt that it was too extravagant.
"After the gasoline is used up, are you going to carry these things and leave?"
Sun Mo was speechless. This girl didn't seem too smart.
Although Zhang Guoye had prepared many barrels of gasoline, they would eventually be used up one day.
"That's true!"
Yunyao thought things through and was at ease as she ate heartily.
Ten days later, the gasoline was used up. The two of them could only advance on foot.
After another half a month, the two of them arrived at the location indicated by the coordinates. However, no one knew where the fire seed was exactly.
"Sun Mo, it's all up to you!"
Yunyao encouraged.
"..."
(Do you not want to use your brain at all?)
(Speaking of which, math has always been my weakness.)
For a total of three days, Sun Mo was at his wit's end. Just when he was so frustrated that he wanted to kill someone to vent his anger, he unexpectedly heard gunshots.
