Chapter 102: Making the First Move

Zhao Hao came back and forth several times, and Ye Xingchen also saw the situation with Zhao Hao’s family.
While Zhao Hao was busy, Li Anran was eating and nursing her child comfortably at home. Ye Xingchen frowned at the sight.
Li Anran was still able to brainwash Zhao Hao in the time he spent putting the items away.
“Brother Zhao, you’re so capable!”
“Aiya, I say, Brother Zhao, don’t follow that Ye Xingchen anymore. Look at him, he only gives you so little food every day. We don’t even have enough to eat. You might as well make a few more trips now and bring back more things. We’ll be more comfortable on our own.”
“What are you saying? Little Ye has helped me so much. I don’t want to hear such words. You’re not allowed to say them in the future! You can cook for yourself. I’m going again!”
Zhao Hao had long forgotten that there was a camera with a radio function on his head. He turned around and left the house.
After a few trips, Zhao Hao carried a lot of baby supplies home. It was not until Li Anran told him to bring back some food that Zhao Hao joined the rest of the looting team.
Most of the food had already been snatched away by the latecomers. There were not many meat, vegetables, and fruits left. There were still many frozen fish in the seafood area.
They thought that the ice blocks were too big, and they didn’t have time to smash the ice blocks and only take the fish inside. So, no one cared about this side of the store anymore. Zhao Hao picked up a lot of them because Li Anran loved to eat fish.
Ye Xingchen also began to think. Before the government developed cold-resistant food, these existing foods were non-regenerative products that would disappear after eating.
Instead of letting others benefit, why not keep them all in his space and raise them for others in the future?!
Ye Xingchen thought about it carefully and suddenly felt a little regretful. If he had known earlier, he would have run to more places and stored more supplies before the snow stopped!
Although those were trash foods that he looked down on, they could be used to feed his subordinates!
Ye Xingchen decided to send a drone out the next day to see where there was no one and go there.
The drone shuttled through the city. Ye Xingchen saw people everywhere like Zhao Hao and the others, using shovels to clear the snow bit by bit.
Many supermarkets and convenience stores in the city had been dug up by people, and piles of snow had piled up in the city.
There were only so many supermarkets and convenience stores in a city. Since they couldn’t find a warehouse, they could only move whatever was in the store. In the end, even the tables and stools in the store were taken away, leaving only four empty walls.
Zhao Hao’s supermarket was the same. When they found out that the supermarket had been completely dug out, everyone in the entire neighborhood went over. Even the people who were assigned to be on duty at the beginning did not stay on duty anymore.
Ye Xingchen had expected this situation from the beginning. It was estimated that in a few days, they might not only stop guarding, but they might even repeat the same mistake and attack Ye Xingchen’s house.
There was no other way. After all, it was easy for people to forget after becoming full.
After the drone flew for a week, Ye Xingchen found that there was no one in the suburbs where he had collected a lot of supplies.
After thinking about it carefully, he thought it was normal.
After all, they were in the south, and it wouldn’t usually snow. No family had any tools to travel in the snow, and even Ye Xingchen could only go so far.
Besides, that was the warehouse area. Even the staff dormitory was extremely far away. If they had no other choice, they would not have come so far to collect supplies in such deep snow.
Ye Xingchen once again chose to go out in the wee hours of the morning.
That day, he went to bed early and woke up early. Unlike last time, he brought Mo Qi with him this time, leaving Lin Sijia alone at home.
Mo Qi was wearing the down and winter coat that Ye Xingchen had given her from the space. She was wearing a gray down jacket and sitting on the back seat of Ye Xingchen’s snowmobile.
The backpack with Little Black was on her shoulder, and the dog curled up behind her, clutching Ye Xingchen’s clothes tightly.
During the two-hour drive, Ye Xingchen chose less crowded roads and took a detour. It took ten to twenty minutes longer than before.
Mo Qi got out of the snowmobile first. Now that everyone was out, Ye Xingchen brought Mo Qi along for self-defense.
After all, he could not be so vigilant at all times. If he was secretly ambushed while picking up these foods, it would really be a loss.
Ye Xingchen pulled Mo Qi to the side, then took out the excavator from the space, and handed Little Black to Mo Qi to carry. Ye Xingchen then started working.
The excavator was much faster than manual work. In a short while, the roof of a supermarket was out.
Ye Xingchen didn’t need to spend as much effort as they did. If he wanted to dig out the entire supermarket, he only needed to dig out the roof of the supermarket.
As he walked down from the excavator, Mo Qi and Little Black were still watching from above. Ye Xingchen touched the roof tile with his hand and put all the store products into his space.
After eating ten Snickers bars, Ye Xingchen threw a piece of meat to Little Black and a piece of chocolate to Mo Qi.
This time, Ye Xingchen didn’t refill the snow. He thought that other people would come here sooner or later, so he left it as a convenience for them, even though there was nothing left in the supermarket.
He didn’t have to fill the snow back up, so the efficiency was much higher.
Ye Xingchen first put the excavator into the space and then took out a ladder from the space.
Ye Xingchen climbed up the ice in two or three steps, got on the snowmobile, and rushed to the next supermarket with Mo Qi and Little Black.
In one day, Ye Xingchen had swept through eight supermarkets and dug up seven or eight warehouses. However, only one of those warehouses was filled with things. Fortunately, this warehouse was for textile products. There were many kinds of fabrics and ready-made clothes.
After eating a stomach full of Snickers, Ye Xingchen was extremely thirsty. Snickers was not enough to fill his stomach. His ability consumed too much of his physical strength. Ye Xingchen was so hungry that he felt dizzy. He immediately decided to stop and go home.
On the way back, there were still a few people walking out. Ye Xingchen knew that these people were going to the supermarket to take supplies. When they heard the sound of the engine, they all looked in Ye Xingchen’s direction.
“What is that…”
“This sound is so familiar. Is it the one we heard earlier?!”
“Oh my god, what is that thing? How can he ride in such thick snow?!”
“I really want this thing too. If 1 had it, I would definitely….”
