Chapter 577 The Mysterious Grain Depot
"At least the staff at the grain depot know about this place."
"If you were a grain depot employee, what would you do when the apocalypse comes?"
Zhao Man asked.
"Of course, we brought our families here to seek refuge!"
Luo Xiaotian replied.
“That’s right, but there’s no movement from over there right now. Don’t you find that strange?”
Upon hearing his words, everyone realized that something was amiss.
"Perhaps they heard our commotion, or perhaps they're afraid of the monsters, so they're hiding inside the mountain?"
Xiang Mengmeng guessed.
Su Chen stroked his chin and pondered,
"What she said makes a lot of sense."
"But whatever the reason, now that we're here, we can't just leave like this, can we, Captain Zhao?"
"You're right, we can't go back empty-handed."
Zhao Man thought for a moment and then gave the instructions.
"Xiao Luo, Mengmeng, take a few people and go check out the situation."
"Yes, sir!"
Luo Xiaotian nodded in agreement to Xiang Mengmeng.
Zhao Man hesitated for a moment.
"Boss Su, if you don't mind, would you like to go with them?"
Despite Su Chen only having an F-level combat power, Zhao Man believed that Su Chen's true strength was definitely no less than his own.
If he could go with Luo Xiaotian and the others, that would be perfect!
"alright."
Su Chen did not refuse and agreed.
Luo Xiaotian called two more people, bringing Su Chen along, making a total of five people.
They rode in an off-road vehicle and slowly drove across the bridge connecting the two banks.
The grain depot is surrounded by a tall concrete wall, which is not only covered with barbed wire but also connected to electricity.
There are also several guard towers used to observe the surrounding area.
On the other side of the grain depot, there is also a train station.
As the largest grain depot in Zhongqi Province, it is sometimes unrealistic to rely solely on trucks to transport grain, and trains are often needed instead.
The iron gate of the factory was tightly closed at the moment. Looking through the gate, the base was eerily quiet, without a single ghost in sight, as if it were a ghost town!
After getting out of the car, the group frowned slightly upon seeing the situation.
"Boss Su, shall we go in?"
Although Luo Xiaotian was the team leader, after knowing Su Chen for so long, he had long been impressed by Su Chen's strength.
Therefore, in his mind, with Zhao Man absent, Su Chen was the leader!
"Let's go in and take a look. Everyone, be careful."
Su Chen walked to the iron gate, and with a forceful pull of both hands, he ripped the iron gate open!
The group filed in and began searching the granary.
The outermost buildings are either offices or employee living quarters.
They searched carefully, afraid of missing anything.
However, to their surprise, the buildings were clean and tidy.
Forget about zombies and monsters, there wasn't even the slightest sign of a fight!
Even more outrageous, Su Chen and his group found a large pot of cooked food at the restaurant.
However, after being left out for so long, the food had already gone bad and spoiled.
After searching all the buildings, Su Chen and his team still couldn't find a single survivor!
This strange situation reminded Su Chen of a similar situation he encountered when he went to Xinlu City.
However, those survivors were captured by the Cult of Almighty.
Were the survivors of the grain depot also captured by someone?
After inspecting the building, the group headed towards the granary at the back.
On the flat cement ground, dozens of cylindrical grain silos stand.
If no problems were found earlier, then there were naturally no abnormalities at the grain warehouse as well.
Su Chen also took a look at the warehouse inside the mountain, but found nothing there either.
After completing the inspection, the group left the grain depot and returned to the convoy by car.
After hearing Luo Xiaotian's report, Zhao Man's brows furrowed.
"Boss Su, what are your thoughts?"
"I feel there's something strange about the grain depot!"
Su Chen said softly,
"But why it's strange, I can't quite put my finger on it!"
"I think so too."
Zhao Man sighed.
"If possible, the best course of action is for us to leave here as soon as possible!"
The granary was filled with so much grain, yet there wasn't a soul in sight!
This is not just very strange, it's absolutely very strange!
"But since we're already here, we can't leave empty-handed, can we?"
Luo Xiaotian smiled wryly.
While they were discussing things, Deng Bin, Huang Cuicui, and others swaggered over.
"No, Captain Zhao, I mean, we've arrived at our destination, why aren't we going in?"
Xu Jiang said somewhat impatiently,
"It's getting dark soon, let's hurry inside the granary and have a hot meal!"
"Who says otherwise? Get a good night's rest, and we'll load the grain tomorrow during the day!"
"Hurry up and finish this, then we'll head back!"
Huang Cuicui, Bai Jiangbo, and others also chimed in with their own opinions.
So, urged on by Deng Bin and others, Zhao Man finally made up his mind.
"Let the convoy enter the grain depot first!"
As the sun set, it dyed the distant horizon a blood red!
It won't be long before it gets completely dark!
If there is any real danger, it would be better to go into the grain depot first!
After Zhao Man's order was passed down, the convoy immediately set off and soon drove into the grain depot's yard.
The grain depot was built with the in mind that a large number of trucks would be used to load and unload grain.
Therefore, their factory areas are extremely spacious, and parking hundreds of trucks at the same time is not a problem.
After the car was parked, the Watchers began to move.
They scattered and began a more thorough search of the granary.
Fortunately, further searches also revealed nothing unusual.
They also inspected the equipment and facilities of the grain depot and found that the equipment and facilities were intact.
The grain depot is not only equipped with solar power generation, but it can also drive a water turbine via the adjacent river, which in turn drives a generator to generate electricity.
Thanks to the efforts of several technicians, the power supply to the grain depot was quickly restored.
Looking at the brightly lit granary, the gloom that had been hanging over everyone's hearts was instantly dispelled.
The cooks had already entered the mess hall and begun preparing dinner.
Before long, the fragrant food was ready.
While having dinner with Su Chen, Zhao Man also told Su Chen about the situation at the grain depot.
"The grain depot contains more than 700,000 tons of grain, which are basically intact."
"Not only do they have crops like soybeans and wheat, but they also have all kinds of meat."
"If we can bring them all back, the base won't run out of food for at least two years!"
Upon hearing this, Su Chen couldn't help but chuckle.
"More than 700,000 tons of grain? With our trucks, it would take us at least ten days to half a month to finish!"
"Unless the railway next to it is put into operation."
Zhao Man laughed heartily.
"That's what I was saying too. It's just a pity that we can't take so much grain back with us!"
