Chapter 920: A Wise Decision

Translator: Min Editor: Rundi

Shangjing, Ziyuan Road No. 27 was home to the largest gymnasium in Pan-Asia Corporation. Before the outbreak of the war, a grand football match was being held. Therefore, in the seats around the round stadium, there were still skeletons and rusted c.o.ke cans.

Just below the stadium sat Fallout Shelter 022, but the fallout shelter had long since been abandoned. It was the most pragmatic and diligent Sectarian Guardians of the Dusk Church that brought the fallout shelter back into the sun. Although they were followers, they were never constrained by the teachings and pursued absolute efficiency. It was because of this that they separated from the Bo Yu-led orthodox.

“Sometimes, I feel that the name Gravediggers is more suitable for us than the Sectarian Guardians.” Lu Minghui took a flashlight, looked around, and followed the blood trails that have oxidized many years ago.

“Your statement is very vivid.” The man smiled and said in a relaxed tone. “But I will not approve of your proposal at the meeting. No matter what age, digging graves is not a popular career.”

“Come on, I was just saying it as a joke.”

Walking in the run-down subway, behind the two, was a herd of double-headed cows carrying goods. These hard-working animals were one of the few mild mutants left on the wasteland. They could easily be tamed and could cross over terrains otherwise impa.s.sable by vehicles. And because of the reduced acc.u.mulation of toxins in the body, they were also one of the few meat sources on the wasteland, disregarding its dry taste.

More than a dozen soldiers dressed in winter clothes walked around the consignment team. They vigilantly glanced at the shadows in the corners and scanned for possible zombies, mutants, or raiders. Although it was the usual route they took, no one dared to be off-guard. Even if everyone alive exhausted all their fingers, it would still not be enough to count the survivors that died because of carelessness, many of which were also powerful lone travelers.

Soon, they arrived at their destination, Shangjing Stadium Station.

Pa.s.sing through the ticket gate that was demolished, a team brought the double-headed cows to the exit and entered the second underground floor of the stadium. It was the stronghold of the Sectarian Guardians. Nearly 10,000 people live there. The center of the stadium was transformed into a large plantation. The transparent graphene s.h.i.+eld could block the snow and allow the Sun to pa.s.s through. The fruit grown on the green field was the food source of this underground “city”.

Two sentries at the entrance came forward and immediately confirmed Lu Minghui’s ident.i.ty, then they took two steps back and saluted.

Lu Minghui nodded, crossed the gate, and continued to walk forward. The man behind him stayed behind and took the team in another direction.

In a place like a cow shed, a potbelly man stepped forward and rubbed his swollen eyes and took out a flat plate from his pocket. As a warehouse manager, his daily job was to count the materials that were s.h.i.+pped into the base.

“Hey, fat man, are you on duty today?”

“Yes. My nose is almost falling off because of this d.a.m.n weather…”

He mumbled and opened the leather buckle. Then, his hands suddenly froze.

“This! This is!” The man called Fat Man was shocked. The two squinted eyes widened and looked like two green beans.

“A whole container of cocoa beans. I don’t know exactly how many tons this is… but isn’t it wonderful? Until a few days ago, I thought this was extinct from Earth.” The man lit himself a poor-quality cigarette and patted the bulging package on the double-headed cow. “Separate this and move it into the warehouse. Remember to keep it dry.”

Fat Man nodded quickly and asked the staff to unload the cocoa beans. Just bake it in a pan, add sugar, and boil it continuously. They could extract the cocoa liquid. With a little refinement, it could be used to make cocoa powder or chocolate.

The end product would be luxury on the wasteland. Because of its easy to store nature, it could even be used as currency like canned food!

And because of their high-calorie characteristics, they were much more valuable than canned food of equal weight!

If the cocoa beans were converted to crystals, they would at least be worth millions.

On the other hand, Lu Minghui, who walked deep into the bas.e.m.e.nt of the gym, stopped and pulled out the data cable from his EP to access the port next to the door. After it was loaded on the screen, a gap appeared on the flat concrete wall and formed a tunnel.

He walked into the tunnel.

As he stepped in, the cold lights in the corners of the hallway lit up, dispelling the darkness in the corridor. He stopped in front of the door at the end of the hallway. With a short pause, he took a deep breath and reached for the door.
