Apocalypse: Transmigrated General's Daughter Uses Space to Survive-Chapter 248: Figuring Out the Message

"It’s not that complicated. Old Chu just wanted to tell me that there is food in abundance and we shouldn’t be too frugal." Grandpa Li stated with a look that had seen the vicissitudes of life.

"How is there any abundance of food when people are starving to death? Right now we should probably be collecting more supplies to store for future use.

The government seized most large scale enterprises that had food in them. After that, only some of the medium companies or small stores still have supplies left.

Moreover, when people started looking for supplies, they raided many malls and markets. The volume of supplies available is dwindling and there is a possibility that in a year or so, you wouldn’t be able to find a single cab of food or a packet of noodles anywhere to salvage.

So, father, why would you think that Uncle Chu is sending you such an absurd message?" The first son of the Li family asked.

"Of course, I know about all those things you are talking about, but this is something that not many people would understand.

It is a secret code that we used to pass across messages when we were still active on duty.

If I sent a container to him, any type or size of container filled to the brim with meat, it meant that there was plenty of food and rationing wasn’t necessary.

If the container was only filled half with meat, then it meant that food was available, but not abundant. On the contrary, if there was only a little meat at the bottom of the container, then it meant that we have to be very frugal.

You saw how full those two cooler boxes were. They were so full they almost couldn’t be closed properly.

What do you think that means?" Grandpa Li explained the logic behind his statement and then asked a question at the end.

"Well, I guess there is way too much food to finish." Li Han replied to his grandfather after thinking about it.

"Indeed, there should be a lot of food. In fact, we probably wouldn’t have to worry about food for a long time. But Old Chu is considerate and didn’t want us to feel like he was giving charity. That was why he suggested going on a supply run tomorrow.

In fact, he should already have the supplies, but going out to look for more will make the soldiers they took in feel less burdened and more useful.

That’s why they are going to search for supplies tomorrow while, if my guess is right, testing their real strength.

My friend never went on an unprepared battle. It is one of the reasons why he was such a famous general. He should want to train the soldiers, but without knowing their real abilities, it would be difficult to do that.

So, he needs to have them tested. Going on a hunt for supplies means that the group would probably encounter some unknown dangers and you guys as soldiers should know the importance of such a situation in testing a soldier’s ability." Grandpa Li explained the real message behind Grandpa Chu’s actions while at the same time educating his own descendants.

He hoped that his grandsons would be able to learn something from Old Chu’s grandchildren the following day. In the apocalypse, learning new skills and knowledge is an advantage.

Thus, if his grandchildren follow them the following day and encounter things or situations that allow them to learn and take action, then they would gain something.

He had a feeling that the apocalypse wasn’t something that would end within a decade or two. There was a possibility that even when a century ends, the apocalypse would still be there.

Moreover, he also believed that the Chu family had a way of either overcoming, or outliving the apocalypse. Thus, learning from them wasn’t a bad idea.

As this thought came to mind, the other men in the living room also seemed to have been enlightened. freewebnσvel.cøm

Indeed, even before the apocalypse started, the Chu family had information about it and even warned them early enough.

Luckily, their father/grandfather didn’t ignore the warning given by Grandpa Chu and had them stick a lot of supplies and also move to the high-rise building.

Looking outside the window at the rain that was still persisting even after about two weeks, they didn’t know how much longer it would rain.

Four floors were already flooded. After all, the fourth floor would be flooded by morning. If the rain continues to rain the way it was at the moment, the building will be flooded to the eighth or ninth floor within another two weeks.

This wasn’t a situation that the people living in the villa area they had been living in could handle. The villas were probably almost fully submerged by now.

What was even more frightening was that the family members were scattered in different places in the country and even one had been out of the country.

It was Grandpa Chu’s urging that caused their grandfather to be adamant about them coming home at the latest before the evening of the day the apocalypse broke out.

Now thinking about having an ally who could constantly ensure your safety as long as you listened and followed what they said or did, why would they be afraid that their family won’t live longer than the apocalypse?

"Then we shouldn’t feel burdened about taking what Uncle Chu gives us. There is also no reason to talk about receiving charity. Since we treat each other with sincerity like family, there is no need to be so calculative.

After all, our family wouldn’t be here safe and sound if not for the Chu family. In the current living environment, there are many who wish they could receive even a little of that charity but can’t get it." The second son of the Li family, Li Guan said.

They had indeed benefited a lot from the Chu family and now if they started talking about receiving charity, it would be too hypocritical.

Therefore, they decided to just be casual from that moment on.

On the other side, Chu Hao went back with the other comrades to report the success of his mission.

"Are we really taking the yacht to look for supplies tomorrow?" Yin Wei asked after holding it in for a long time and finally couldn’t any longer.

"Of course, is anything the matter?" Chu Hao replied as he navigated the motor boat they were using.

"Won’t it attract too much attention and lead people to our community?" Qi Long asked because when he and his brothers were traveling to go back to the base after completing their mission at the research institute, they noticed some activities that would have been deemed as illegal before.

There were some thugs hiding in various buildings and waiting for people who had already collected supplies and probably going back home to rob them.

He was worried that if such people noticed the yacht, they might band together and attack them just to steal the yacht.

However, Chu Hao didn’t have the same concerns. Not to mention how powerful he was already at the Qi refinement level five and level four superpower, his sister and brother-in-law weren’t to be trifled with.

When they go to look for supplies the following day, those two gods will be there as well. So, which unlucky person would actually court death and attack them just to steal a yacht?

While Chu Hao thought of this, the others had mixed feelings.

"Nothing will happen. Don’t worry." Chu Hao replied while itching to encounter a strong opponent to sharpen his skills.

As Yin Wei and Qi Long had witnessed the intense fight of Ye Xuan killing over two hundred zombies alone, and also of Chu Miao stopping bullets, they weren’t very surprised.

However, the others were doubtful. But they didn’t say or ask anything else. As soldiers, their job was to listen to orders. Thus, they just needed to follow what they were told the following day and avoid causing trouble.

"Then are we going to use these guns as weapons or what are we going to do if we encounter enemies?" One of the other soldiers asked.

He was intrigued by the guns they had been given by Chu Hao and was wondering whether he could test their power the following day.

"No, we can’t use heat weapons unless absolutely necessary. I gave them to you guys because it’s already dark and defending yourselves through battle would be too risky without clear vision.

However, tomorrow our supply collection mission will be during the day. Even though it will be raining, it is still possible to fight the zombies or other enemies in a close range fight.

This will test your strength and experience." Chu Hao replied to the soldier.

"So, you also need to test our strength during this mission? But only a few of us will be going, what about the others who are left behind?" The same soldier asked again with genuine confusion.
