Apocalypse: After Being Reborn, I Stocked Up on All Supplies

Chapter 142: Chapter 142: This Gun, I’m Giving It to You

Listening to Ye Qing’s words, Su Dai suddenly got excited and praised,

“Jiang Yan, Xiao Ye is the champion of this year’s National University Students Martial Arts Routines Championship, and he’s also a national defense student specially recruited by the state! He’s really something!

The ‘Capturing Fist’ taught by Sun Jingtao, he learned it after watching it twice, unlike me, who still hasn’t remembered a single move…”

After finishing her speech, Su Dai didn’t forget to give her own husband a grimace.

Sun Jingtao, who was considering how to deal with the enemy, looked up and smiled knowingly, though he didn’t say anything.

“Sister Dai is too kind.”

Ye Qing humbly replied with his words, but his gaze stealthily glanced at Jiang Yan, only to find the latter staring back at him with a scrutinizing expression.

“Jiang Yan, what are you thinking about?”

The words blurted out of Ye Qing’s mouth, and he immediately realized he had perhaps asked something he shouldn’t have.

“I’m thinking about what to eat tonight,” Jiang Yan diverted her gaze and thoughts, casually pretending it was nothing.

In reality, her mind was pondering the imminent confrontation with Ma Longbiao and his gang, and what weapons from Space could be legitimately used.

And more importantly, was Ye Qing someone she could trust?

This trust referred to both personal character and capabilities.

The man of few words, understood cooperation, had the patience and courage to face danger without fear, and possessed strong action and fighting abilities. He was spirited and responsible.

These were the impressions he had given her that very afternoon.

As for anything else, there was nothing more.

“Cough, look at me, forgetting the most critical thing. They say you need a full stomach to think and work properly!

We’re about to face the enemy, so how about we improve our meals tonight and eat instant noodles?” Su Dai said as she stood up and opened a plastic bag brought by Old Liu.

Inside were precisely six cups of instant noodles.

Before anyone could respond, she had already smoothly listed the flavors:

“There’s mushroom chicken stew, spicy beef, braised beef, golden soup beef, tomato and egg, which one will you have? Pick your choice, I’ll go boil water and prepare the noodles so we can eat once you’ve finished discussing.”

“Ladies first, you two choose,” said Sun Jingtao.

He was somewhat amused in his heart:

One second they were discussing strategies against the enemy, and the next they had switched to improving their meals.

But his wife wasn’t wrong, and there was no reason for him to refute.

“I’ll take the braised beef, thank you,” said Jiang Yan.

Initially, she had thought to finish discussing strategies and then go back and cook spicy garlic prawns to satisfy a craving.

But she was worried that Ma Longbiao’s gang might return unexpectedly in the rain and darkness.

Never mind then, she would just fill her stomach with instant noodles for now.

Su Dai chose tomato and egg, while Sun Jingtao and Ye Qing respectively picked spicy beef and golden soup beef.

“Right, I found this fire poker while rummaging through Ma Longbiao’s house downstairs, you might find it useful,” Jiang Yan said as she passed the slender metal fire poke to Su Dai.

“Wow, thank you! This will come in handy for our stove at home!” Su Dai happily took it and stood up to boil water.

It was only then that Jiang Yan took her backpack from the chair next to her, unzipped it, and said, “I also found some other things that you two might like.”

“?” Sun Jingtao and Ye Qing looked puzzled.

Jiang Yan took item after item out of her bag.

Su Dai, who had just started boiling the water, heard the items were from Ma Longbiao’s house and, curious, strode back over.

Seeing on the table a hand-cranked power bank, half a pack of cigarettes, half a box of cigars, half a bottle of Maotai Prince Wine, two bottles of small strong wine, nylon rope, coffee sugar, and mint candy,

Su Dai’s jaw nearly dropped to the floor as she grabbed the hand-cranked power bank and exclaimed in astonishment,

“Heavens! Ma Longbiao’s life is way too lavish! And this is just a temporary base’s supplies; imagine how extravagant his secret safe house must be!”

These items wouldn’t have counted for much in normal times.

But now, being able to smoke and drink, and with decent quality at that, was indeed very rare.

Sun Jingtao keenly looked toward Jiang Yan with praise, “Indeed, Jiang Yan, you are more professional and meticulous!”

2904. Earlier there had been two owners who had searched and told him they hadn’t found anything.

Yet unexpectedly, Jiang Yan had managed to unearth these treasures.

Clearly, she had paid close attention.

After all, she had even picked up a metal fire poker.

Seeing that the mood was just right, Jiang Yan’s hand reached back into the backpack but, in fact, she took out a Ruger semi-automatic handgun from Space:

“I also found this under Ma Longbiao’s mattress.”

Bringing out the gun was a carefully considered decision by Jiang Yan.

A workman must first sharpen his tools before doing his work.

According to what Dao Yinping had reported about Golden Shield Security,

She speculated that Ma Longbiao’s so-called safe house wasn’t a solo effort.

It wasn’t enough manpower to guard so many people and supplies.

It was very likely Golden Shield Security’s new base in post-apocalyptic times.

Similar to Young Master Xue’s Flame Base.

Flame Base seemed more like a hub for resources and people, while that safe house seemed more like a transit station where the bandits scrounged people and supplies from various districts.

Therefore, what they had to face was not just a simple Ma Longbiao.

It was likely dozens of them.

Though it was also possible that she was overthinking.

However, better to overestimate than underestimating the threat was always her rule.

After all, once they had annihilated Ma Longbiao’s gang, the next step would surely be to find that safe house.

Facing those bandits was a matter of sooner or later.

As for weapons, she wasn’t choosing aimlessly either.

Typical handguns could only load eight or nine bullets.

The one she chose had a higher magazine capacity, capable of holding 20 rounds.

Since she had decided to fight along with Sun Jingtao and Ye Qing, it was natural to enhance their combat capabilities.

She wasn’t worried about their martial prowess.

But a handy weapon could significantly increase their odds of victory.

Although they also had a shotgun, its most powerful range was within ten meters.

With the handgun, they could immediately extend the range to fifty meters.

She had heavy machine guns and such in her Space, but there was obviously no suitable pretext to bring them out.

After much thought, the handgun was the best choice.

Moreover, because Ye Qing knew about guns and had learned shooting, he could also defend himself; otherwise, Jiang Yan wouldn’t have brought it out.

Because even the most top-notch weapon in the hands of someone who doesn’t know how to use it is just trash or, worse, a calamity for others.

Ye Qing: “?! ”

Sun Jingtao: “?! ”

This time, it was their turn for their jaws to hit the floor.

Both of them even swallowed hard subconsciously.

A gun?

And a real one at that!

There’s no man who wouldn’t be thrilled by this!

Su Dai, though, was not excited.

But that didn’t stop her mouth from forming a stunned ‘O’.

“Ye Qing, since you’re also familiar with shooting, this gun, I give it to you,”

Jiang Yan said as she straightforwardly handed the black handgun to Ye Qing.
