Chapter 40: First, to the garage

Mmm...so warm...

How long has it been since he felt this kind of warmth?

It seems like a lifetime ago...ever since mother passed away, no one has ever hugged him like this.

Wait a minute. Hug?

Coming hazily back to consciousness, he abruptly recalls something. Huo Zaiyuan's eyes open to meet a pair of deep, dark pupils.

"Ahh..." Suffering a huge shock, his entire body jumps up, pale skin flushing a very deep red. "Y - Y - You! Why are you hugging me!!"

"My beloved little Yuan, I am truly innocent. It was you who hugged me last night and refused to release me." A low chuckle rings out, the seductive sound enough to cause one's heart to palpitate. Looking at the red-faced youth, Long Zhanye's mood instantly becomes good. "Hurry up and ready yourself, eat breakfast, then we'll go move the weapons."

"Un." As Long Zhanye doesn't continue teasing him, Huo Zaiyuan nods his head. Waving his hand, he sends the blankets back into his space and leaves to begin preparing breakfast. "Older brother Long, what about your car?"

He hasn't forgotten Long Zhanye previously said the Hummer was parked in the military district's garage. The garage can't possibly be on the second or third floor, which leaves only the first level or the underground basement.

What Huo Zaiyuan has considered, Long Zhanye has also naturally thought of. Looking out the window, he notes that the creatures outside remain as before, swaying to and fro, the low growls emitting from their throats drifting in the wind, making people feel rather agitated.

"The car's tire is slightly damaged. I sent it over for repairs the day before, but yesterday there was the sudden outbreak of zombies. I don't know whether they managed to repair it for me. If my vehicle is not repaired, then it will be troublesome."

"Do you know how to repair the damages?" The Huo Zaiyuan who is cooking before the stove asks.

"Of course. It's a must-know."

"How about I'll go and put your car and any equipment you'll need inside my space, then bring them here to the second floor?" Carrying two bowls of noodles over, Huo Zaiyuan suggests.

"Un, good idea." Long Zhanye nods in consent. "The maintenance garage is on the opposite building's ground floor. We can get there by walking through the connecting bridge, then directly head down to the first level and retrieve my car."

"Okay." Huo Zaiyuan looks out the window at the distant connecting bridge between the two buildings and the zombies that are shuffling back and forth on it. "Older brother Long, later, we'll first take everything in the third level's armoury."

When he was just cooking breakfast, he has already transferred all the food, liquid gas, pots and stoves in the canteen into his space. Now he only needs to clear out the weapons warehouse, then both older brother Long and him can go retrieve the car without worries about leaving important items behind. Of course, it would be best if they are able to return back after grabbing the vehicle, but it is always better to take precautions.

After finishing breakfast, the two men head directly to the armoury to clear it out. Long Zhanye picks up a comparatively lighter pistol which also has a larger bullet capacity, taking a moment to assemble and adjust the gun before adding a suppressor, then handing the firearm over to Huo Zaiyuan.

"Take this. If anything happens, you do know how to fire it, don't you?"

"I know." Huo Zaiyuan nods his head, then flicks on the safety switch of the pistol as soon as it is in his hands.
