At this moment, Li Yu was not overwhelmed by the sight of the firearms before him.
It was 5:20 PM.
According to the time the sun sets in October, it would be down in about fifteen minutes.
So he said to Li Gang, Li Hang, and the others beside him, “Three of you go down and drive our vehicles up.”
As night fell, there might be some zombies outside, so getting the vehicles up first would allow for timely transport.
Everyone could also sleep in the vehicles.
“Understood, Big Brother,” Li Gang replied without hesitation and started climbing up.
Li Hang greedily touched the sniper rifle in his hand, then put it down.
He followed Li Gang up, and the Uncle also went up.
Li Yu checked the other crates inside and found that none of them were empty; they were all packed full of firearms and ammunition.
However, looking at this thousand-square-meter area, even though the items weren’t stacked very high, moving them all at once would be a huge problem.
The five vehicles they brought simply couldn’t transport all these things.
This was truly a happy problem—too much.
Yu Tong and the others also came down.
Only Ding Jiu and Tianlong remained on alert above.
Both of them wanted to come down and see, but someone had to stay up there.
Although they hadn’t encountered anyone along the way so far, nor any zombies on the path up the mountain.
However, they had encountered three zombies in the temple on the back mountain just now.
Maintaining vigilance was necessary.
“Yu Tong, Song Min, the two of you count the number of firearms and ammunition here,” Li Yu said.
After Yu Tong and the others came down, they were astonished by the massive arsenal.
There was simply too much; how many trips would it take to transport it all?
But they were still very happy; with enough firearms, their combat effectiveness would directly leap to a higher level.
Yu Tong and the others began counting.
To avoid errors, Yu Tong and Song Min counted separately.
About a dozen minutes later, Li Tie, who had driven the vehicles up, excitedly rushed down.
Looking at the green crates full of firearms, he felt a bit dizzy.
“Are the vehicles parked properly?” Li Yu asked.
“They’re parked properly, in a ‘pin’ formation, surrounding this entrance,” Li Tie said without turning his head.
“Yu Ge, we’ve finished counting,” Yu Tong said.
“How much?” Li Yu asked impatiently.
Song Min looked at Yu Tong, who nodded.
Both of them had double-checked, and although there was some slight error, it was very small.
Song Min directly stated: “There are 20 crates of 64 pistols, with 20 pistols per crate, totaling 400 pistols.
There are 20 crates of Type 81 automatic rifles, with 10 rifles per crate, totaling 200 rifles.
There are 20 crates of Type 03 automatic rifles, with 10 rifles per crate, totaling 200 rifles.
There are 10 crates of Type 85 sniper rifles, with 10 rifles per crate, totaling 100 rifles.
There are 10 crates of Type 95 squad machine guns, with 10 machine guns per crate, totaling 100 machine guns.
There are 10 crates of Type 69 rockets, with 2 rockets per crate, totaling 20 rockets.
There are also 7.62 bullets, with 1000 rounds per box, and a total of 300 boxes, making 300,000 rounds.
These ammunition boxes are relatively small.
In total, there are 1300 firearms of various types, 1 million rounds of ammunition, and 4000 grenades and other explosives.”
Li Yu was overjoyed upon hearing this; this was the firepower of an entire battalion.
Although heavy firepower was lacking, there were still machine guns and rocket launchers, which are extremely destructive weapons.
However, with the current vehicles, these things simply couldn’t be transported back.
It seemed multiple trips would be necessary.
But if they were to transport them, someone would definitely have to stay here; it would be very troublesome if someone discovered this place.
These thoughts were temporarily pushed aside.
Everyone picked out some firearms they liked, and basically, each person carried two handguns.
In the apocalypse, this always brought a sense of security.
Li Yu went up the steps and saw that the sky had already darkened.
Three heavy trucks, one anti-riot vehicle, and one Unimog were arranged in a ‘pin’ formation, surrounding the entrance.
On the elevated platform of the Unimog, Yang Tianlong stood at the highest point, overlooking the surroundings.
A lamp was placed above the entrance, illuminating the area around it.
Everyone also came up and saw the vehicles surrounding them, which gave them an indescribable sense of security in the night.
“Everyone, come eat something first,” Yu Tong said, taking out the food from the RV, heating it, and distributing it to everyone.
They all sat on the ground around the entrance, eating their food.
Everyone was exhausted; the continuous driving, then the searching and digging just now, were all physically demanding tasks.
After everyone finished eating, they rested on the spot.
The Uncle walked over to Li Yu and said, “Xiao Yu, do you think we should start transporting now?”
Li Yu looked at the surrounding darkness and finally said, “Tomorrow.
Night is falling now, and we need to change the convoy’s formation.
Even if we transport now, at our speed, it would take two hours to load these few vehicles.
It’s better to wait until tomorrow morning to do this.”
Li Yu paused for a moment, took a sip of water, and then continued:
“Then, Uncle, you take Tie Zi and Gang Zi and them to transport some of the firearms and ammunition back first, and then have Second Uncle and the others send more people over.
This way, you can go back in the morning and come back in the afternoon, allowing for about one round trip per day.”
The Uncle nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll listen to you.
If we can successfully transport all these firearms and ammunition back this time, we won’t have to worry about this for a long time.”
The last time they found two armed police armories, the supplies they found were less than one-twentieth of what they had now.
“Yes, I hope we can successfully and safely transport all these firearms back,” Li Yu said.
Suddenly, a scream rang out.
Everyone turned their gaze to see Song Min, who was jumping and running towards Da Pao.
In Song Min’s original spot, there was an enormous rat, about three times the size of a normal rat.
It was currently rolling its eyes, looking at everyone.
Under the illumination of the light, the rat’s eyes reflected light, and strangely, there was a hint of human-like intelligence in its gaze.
This was a first for everyone; they had never seen such a large rat before.
Some people were indeed afraid of rats; they weren’t afraid of zombies, but they were afraid of creatures like rats.
Seeing Song Min scared, Da Pao quickly pulled out his entrenching tool and swung it at the rat.
Thud!
The entrenching tool accurately struck the rat.
The front edge of the entrenching tool was a sharp blade, and under gravity, although the rat tried to escape, Da Pao accurately predicted its escape path and struck it in one blow.
The rat was immediately cut in half.
Da Pao was still not satisfied, so he turned the entrenching tool horizontally and slammed it down with the wider side.
The rat immediately turned into a pile of bloody pulp.
Everyone was a bit speechless, thinking, “Is that really necessary?”
“You clean that up later,” Li Yu said, pointing at the bloody mess on the ground.
He didn’t want to sleep in the vehicle with bloody things around, potentially attracting zombies.
Da Pao scratched his head and then went to clean it up.
