It was still unsure if the white-coat scientist lied to Yin He, but regardless Liu Gan still wanted to spend a little more time to search for the location of the secret laboratory. In fact, Zhang Hua still required sometime to move the cargo from the secret underground storage back to the compound, so Liu Gan and Yin He had free time to scout.

Both females were local survivors and their last job was working in the storage warehouse which had lasted several years. According to them, a year ago the NinJing City government had prepared to set up this location as a Strategic Material Reserve Warehouse. It was only within these several months that goods were actually moved into the warehouse. Goods like food and gasoline.

The ground-level warehouse was only a small portion visible to the naked eye. It was actually a cover up; the underground storage area was three to four times larger than the ground floor. Within the underground storage, there was even more food stored, as well as other necessities like towels, toothbrushes, toothpaste, bed sheets, clothes, and daily commodities.

According to Liu Gan’s analysis, it was highly possible that the government knew about the apocalypse beforehand. They probably received intel on the news and quickly establish this Strategic Material Reserve Warehouse to prepare for the emergency. However, it seemed that they didn’t expect the catastrophe to occur even earlier than when they had predicted, so they weren’t able to transfer the strategic resources, gasoline and food, into the underground storage. Now that everyone within the city had become a zombie, it meant that this warehouse would only benefit Liu Gan.

In the post-apocalyptic world, being kind-hearted may not be a bad thing. It was due to Zhang ShengLi’s suggestion, giving the female prisoners equality within the group so they wouldn’t have to suffer humiliation, that resulted in the secret being revealed to the group.

With this reserve warehouse, it meant that even if Liu Gan and his group stayed within the confines of the prison compound, they wouldn’t have to worry about food and water.

The entrance to the underground warehouse was very hidden, one of the floor tiles had to be moved away. There was a vertical ladder that led underground a dozen meters deep. Aside from that, there was a large freight elevator that linked the surface to underground.

Going down the ladder, the temperature inside dropped very low to the equivalent of zero degrees. As everyone walked around, they saw that there was a mountain of food, especially canned goods and various daily supplies leaving Zhang Hua and other members very happy. If the group didn’t add more team members in the future, this amount of goods could last the group for several years.

Liu Gan felt disappointed, the underground storage didn’t have any weapons or ammunition. Other than that, there was everything else he needed to survive in this world. It was probable that, either the regulation of weapons in this world was very strict, or, there was a problem in transporting it. It’s very possible that the guns he found in the prison were the only ones he would ever own, but it was still very fortunate to own a gun.

To deliver the goods from the underground to the surface floor, it required the use of the freight elevator. That however, would require energy to operate. Luckily, right beside the elevator was a power distribution room. Inside the room was a large diesel powered generator with a large amount of diesel cans nearby, meaning that there was no need to worry about how to transport the goods back to the surface.
