Surviving the Long Night: Starting from the Gas Station and Infinite Upgrades

Chapter 87 Breakthrough, Camp and Shopping List

Amidst the ruins, the sound of footsteps echoed from all directions.

From above, Lu Sheng saw the killers surrounding them: a group of iron-jawed worms.

"Boss, grab my hand."

"it is good."

Lu Sheng grasped Meng Ling's undeformed hand, and then he felt as if he were being clamped by an iron clamp, the two of them completely fixed together.

"Don't mind me, I need to make sure you don't stray from the group later, but have you ever held a girl's hand before?"

If not, you're getting a good deal today.

Lu Sheng drew his pistol, preparing to charge downwards, while simultaneously responding to Meng Lingshi's teasing:

"Don't underestimate your boss. I'm a master in the battlefield, the business world, and the love world. Even the most perfect old man isn't as perfect as me."

"I really didn't notice."

After saying this, Meng Lingshi led Lu Sheng and they swooped down.

Faced with the Ironjaw Bugs surrounding him, he swung his battle axe and instantly cleaved one of them in the middle, carrying Lu Sheng through the gap.

The iron-jawed insects surrounded him from both sides, but Lu Sheng had already completed his aim while being dragged along.

Bang bang bang bang bang, six shots.

Six bullets accurately repelled six Ironjaw Bugs, but because it was difficult to aim while running, only four Ironjaw Bugs were killed, and the remaining two were repelled.

"I've run out of bullets, and you're holding my other hand so tightly that I can't reload."

"It's okay, because we've already broken through."

Meng Lingshi simply released Lu Sheng's hand, but before releasing it, she made a pulling motion towards herself.

So after letting go, Lu Sheng fell directly into her arms, and was then picked up by her with one hand.

The feeling of being held under the armpit of a girl much shorter than yourself, like a doll, is quite subtle.

Rationally, Lu Sheng felt there was no problem, but emotionally he thought he should just let go of himself and fight the Ironjaw Bug.

However, this action is indeed highly efficient.

After ensuring that Lu Sheng wouldn't wander off, Meng Lingshi swung his battle axe with one hand, as if he were in an empty field.

She fought her way through the encirclement of the Ironjaw Insects, but suddenly a dense net woven from black silk threads appeared in front of them.

"They're iron-footed spiders. How did they end up mixed up with iron-jawed beetles?"

Lu Sheng recognized it as the web of an iron-footed spider.

In his mind, unless there was a clustering phenomenon, two different ferocious beasts should not participate in the same hunt.

"They're here to catch iron-jaw worms."

While answering Lu Sheng's questions, Meng Lingshi jumped onto the small hill next to the spider web and walked around it, while the iron-jawed beetle behind him was directly captured by the web.

Before they could react, the iron-legged spiders, which had been hiding in the shadows, rushed out and pierced their carapaces with their sharp, razor-sharp iron legs.

At this moment, Meng Lingshi and Lu Sheng were out of danger. Before leaving the ruins, he pleaded with Meng Lingshi to put him down.

"What does it matter?"

"Give me some face. If the people in the camp see this, those who are already difficult to manage will become even more difficult to manage."

"You mean those scions of wealthy families?"

"If it's not them, then who is it? They're asking for this and that. If they have the guts, they should go and complain to the Lu family."

After landing from under Meng Lingshi's arm, Lu Sheng stretched his muscles.

They had now reached the inner side of the supermarket ruins, just a few steps from the exit.

"Boss, do you want them to die?"

Listening to Lu Sheng's complaints, Meng Lingshi suddenly asked a question that sent chills down Lu Sheng's spine.

"It won't come to that, will it?"

"In that case, you'd better explain things clearly to Cheng Qiushui."

Meng Lingshi reminded him:

"He's not a soft-hearted person."

"If he thinks that eliminating these people physically is the best way to solve the current problem, he will definitely take action without hesitation."

Boss, since you have this idea, he can help you do it very well.

But if you don't have one, remember to tell him promptly.

These words silenced Lu Sheng.

Since arriving at the camp, Cheng Qiushui has done everything to his liking.

But Meng Lingshi's words reminded him of what kind of person Cheng Qiushui was and how many people had died because of him.

It wasn't that he cared much for these family members; it was just that he knew very well that these people were not useless.

They are all well-educated and have a skill, but the camp cannot provide them with a stage to showcase their abilities. The fault does not lie with them, but with the Lu family who sent them here.

"Thank you for reminding me, I will pay special attention."

"Let's go back now."

Upon returning to the camp, Lu Sheng immediately gathered the workers and told them about the next phase of the construction plan.

He drew a map on the ground and circled the location of the supermarket ruins.

Then, draw a long line with a curve in the middle, connecting the wall from the warehouse to the side of Container Building 2 into a square area.

"This is what you'll be doing in the next phase: dealing with the timber piled up in the warehouse and building a wall to completely enclose this area."

Lu Sheng explained to them, "You might be worried about the ferocious beasts lurking in the ruins."

"But don't be too nervous. As long as you don't get close to their nests, they will hardly come out during the day."

"We will also arrange for people to be on guard around the area to ensure your safety."

After returning today, Lu Sheng pondered for a while.

Logically speaking, since he and Meng Lingshi were on a small hillside with no dark corners around, they shouldn't have been attacked by the iron-jawed insects.

Later on the way out, we saw a web woven by a manta ray spider, which itself was hiding in a dark corner.

After much thought, there was only one possibility: the nest of the iron-jawed beetle was hidden near the train station.

This is not good news.

When he was fighting the Ironjaw Bugs with Qin Feng, he was deeply impressed by the wriggling dark clouds.

It's unlikely that ordinary firepower would be enough to destroy that nest.

If the nest cannot be destroyed, there is no point in talking about rebuilding the train station.

However, things must be done step by step, and he wasn't in a hurry.

"This place is very close to the campsite, just across the road."

Even if we encounter a ferocious beast attack, we can quickly organize support, so you don't need to worry at all.

To appease the workers, Lu Sheng also mentioned something else.

"I should have told you before that a supermarket will be built in the camp. After it opens, your monthly salary will no longer be in kind, but in credits."

You can use credits to shop freely in the supermarket. To ensure you can buy what you want, I will distribute a questionnaire before the supermarket opens.

You can write down what you want and submit it to me; it will be an important reference for the first batch of goods this supermarket orders.
