Chapter 13: Victory, Obtaining Resources
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
"Friend, don't be rash. We can talk about it." The manager had thought that Lorne would be indecisive seeing how young he was, but seeing how ruthless he was, he began to compromise.
"Are there any questions about my words now?" Lorne said loudly to the manager and the rest with a ferocious smile.
'Lunatic,' the manager felt a deep chill run down his spine.
He had a feeling that if he did not agree to the other party's request, the other party would really shoot arrows at their heads.
"Get lost if you don't want to die," Lorne said to the manager when he saw him hesitate.
"Let's go." The manager cared about his life, so he did not dare to bet his life to test Lorne's words.
After all, it was just some supplies. At most, they could search for other supplies. There was no need to fight this madman here.
The manager called for his subordinates and dragged the injured underling away.
The moment he walked out of the room, the manager stared intently at Lorne, as if trying to remember the person who had made him suffer.
When the door closed tightly and he heard the sound of a car engine, Lorne lowered his head and let out a long breath of relief.
During the tense confrontation earlier, he had been holding his breath and did not dare to show any hesitation.
Because he knew that if the manager and the rest realized that he was hesitant, they would risk their lives to subdue him. If that happened, he would be in an extremely dangerous situation.
Fortunately, his gamble paid off. The manager and the others did not dare to risk their lives, so they let Lorne obtain these supplies.
The gains were always proportional to the risks. Lorne looked at the room full of resources and was very happy. He even found the live poultry he was looking for in a room.
What made Lorne even happier was that he found many fruits. These fruits could last him until the time to harvest his vegetables.
Looking at the huge amount of resources, Lorne was troubled.
He did not have any vehicles to transport the supplies.
'Are there any vehicles on this farm?'
Lorne got up and slowly searched the farm.
Today, Lorne seemed to be blessed by God. He found a medium-sized farm truck in a dilapidated warehouse on the farm. It had sufficient fuel.
He could bring all the supplies back to his base on this truck.
Lorne drove the truck to the entrance of the farm owner's shelter and slowly loaded the supplies into the truck.
Time passed, and Lorne finished moving all the supplies into the truck, leaving only the poultry.
Looking at these poultry, Lorne was worried that they would not be able to adapt to the high temperature outside. If they were killed by the high temperature outside, it would not be worth it.
But soon Lorne thought of a way to alleviate the situation. He thought of the cold storage in this shelter.
Maybe because this was a farm, the owner did not use refrigerators to store supplies. Instead, he built a small cold storage room in his refuge.
There were many cut ice cubes in the cold storage.
Lorne planned to move some of the ice in the cold storage to the truck and seal it before moving the poultry out.
In this way, as long as he drove faster, he should be able to prevent the poultry from dying. As long as he could reach his technology city, everything would be fine.
He acted without delay. Lorne quickly moved the ice cubes from the cold storage to the truck and sealed the truck with wooden boards.
After everything was ready, Lorne started the engine and drove away from the farm towards his residence.
The journey was smooth, and Lorne quickly returned to his shelter.
He hurriedly removed the wooden boards from the truck to check if the poultry he had brought back was still alive.
On the way, Lorne drove at a high speed, afraid that his slow driving might destroy his hope of eating meat.
Therefore, the moment he got off the truck, he wanted to quickly transfer his treasures to his technology city.
After removing the wooden boards, Lorne saw chickens and ducks strolling slowly in the truck. He could not help but heave a sigh of relief. Then, he quickly moved the poultry into his greenhouse.
Lorne specially marked a piece of land in the greenhouse and built a fence to place the poultry in case they ate the vegetables he planted.
After arranging the poultry, Lorne slowly moved the resources he obtained from this trip to his shelter.
In the shelter, Lorne was slowly sorting out the resources he had obtained this time. He placed the easily preservable jerky in the storage room.
As for the fruits that could easily rot, Lorne put them in the freezer. Fortunately, he had upgraded the freezer earlier, or he really would not have been able to store these fruits.
"3:57"
After finishing his work, Lorne looked at the time and realized that it was still a while before nightfall.
Lorne decided to go out again and search for some metal.
The previous encounter made Lorne realize that his crossbow was not omnipotent. If he had not scared the manager and the others off this time, he would have met with death.
Lorne planned to create a more powerful weapon this time. A weapon that helped humans escape the era of cold weapons.
"Gun!"
Meanwhile, in an unknown neighborhood in the city center.
The manager sat in a shelter, smoking non-stop. The scene of him being frightened by Lorne kept replaying in his mind.
The manager had always thought that he would use this opportunity to continuously increase his strength and become a king-like existence.
But meeting Lorne today created a crack in the manager's confidence.
"Boss, the supplies are gathered. Are we leaving now?" A lackey's question interrupted the manager's thoughts.
The manager did not answer and walked into the bathroom. He turned on the tap in the bathroom and let the cold water wash over his head.
Under the stimulation of the cold water, the manager's originally dispirited gaze became sharp again.
He adjusted his clothes that were messed up by the cold water and slowly walked out of the bathroom.
"Bring all the resources here into the car. We'll return to the shelter first." After adjusting his state, he gave the first order to his subordinate.
Losing the resources from before was not a very important matter. Just like now, he could still obtain enough resources.
The manager reflected on the reason for today's failure. It was mainly because his side did not have any powerful weapons.
The manager sitting in the car slowly turned his gaze to the police station in the city.
