257 Little Sakura National Treasury Grain Warehouse Whereabouts

Komachi always wants to go on adventures, while Yoko Okino always tries to stop her.

After laughing, Chang Wei suddenly remembered something. He turned to Komachi and solemnly instructed her, "Komachi, remember, never tell anyone that you are wearing this armor."

Otherwise, it might lead to unnecessary trouble and danger.

Komachi nodded sensibly; she always listened to Chang Wei's words with exceptional deference.

Chang Wei then turned to Sato, as if he had something to say.

He glanced at Fangzi, who was standing to the side. This woman, who had always been quiet and unassuming, seemed to have become invisible at this moment.

Chang Wei gently withdrew the weapon from her hand, indicating that she could leave.

"When you get back, go and collect ten kilograms of rice, ten kilograms of flour, and a piece of meat. This is your reward for this work." Chang Wei generously gave out the reward.

Upon hearing this good news, Fangzi's face immediately lit up with an excited smile, and she quickly thanked Chang Wei.

I quickly fled that oppressive place, burying the words I had just heard deep in my heart as if they had never entered my ears.

"Alright, Sato, there are only a few of us here now, so just say what you have to say."

Chang Wei gave Sato an encouraging look.

Sato looked around, took a deep breath, and then slowly revealed a piece of news that shocked everyone present: "When I led the team out today, I rescued a person."

He told me he knew the location of a granary in nearby Qinghe County.

"What? A granary?"

"where is it?"

"Great! We need to hurry and bring the grain back!"

……

The crowd discussed it animatedly, their faces beaming with joy.

They all knew in their hearts that the current situation regarding grain reserves was not optimistic.

Going out every day to find supplies and food has become an indispensable part of their lives.

A hint of surprise flashed in Chang Wei's eyes as he stared intently at Sato and asked, "Are you sure about this news?"

“Absolutely certain!” Sato nodded firmly. “However, that granary is nearly seventy miles away from here.”

If we want to collect the grain, we'd better set off early to avoid others getting there first.

I also heard from some survivors that the Tokyo base is now building walls to defend against zombies.

They continuously broadcast messages on the radio, luring survivors from the surrounding area to seek refuge with them.

“Tokyo!” A hint of seriousness flashed in Chang Wei’s eyes.

Tokyo is moving quite quickly; they've already started building city walls.

It seems I can't fall too far behind; I need to speed things up.

“In that case, it’s settled then.” Chang Wei made the decision decisively. “Everyone, pack your things and prepare the necessary equipment today.”

We'll set off for the granary first thing tomorrow morning.

Ada Wong and Ai Hoshino are coming with me. Sato, you stay home and keep things under control.

No one objected to Chang Wei's arrangement.

Only Sato frowned, seemingly somewhat dissatisfied: "Why do I have to stay at home?"

Chang Wei glanced at him and explained, "In this apocalypse, anything can happen."

An evolved being must be stationed here to ensure safety.

We all know your capabilities. With you here, we can go out to search for supplies with more peace of mind.

After hearing Chang Wei's explanation, Sato, though still somewhat unwilling, finally nodded in agreement.

That howitzer is now in your hands.

If you really encounter an insurmountable crisis, don't worry about anything else, just go ahead and fire the cannons.

After all, we still have more than ten shells left from our initial mission, so even if we use them all up, there's no need to worry.

Upon hearing this, Sato ceased his stubbornness and silently nodded in agreement.

“Captain Changwei, I also want to go this time!” Suddenly, Nakano Miki, who had been silent all along, spoke up.

Ever since Chang Wei saved her, she has stayed by his side. From initial resistance to acceptance, her mindset has undergone a tremendous change.

Now, she longs to contribute to the entire team, no longer content with simply teaching children fighting skills, but yearning for a more exciting life.

She knew that killing zombies would release orbs of light containing all sorts of magical things, and therefore, she also harbored the dream of becoming an evolved being.

However, everyone discovered that the probability of killing zombies and getting a glowing orb was getting lower and lower, which was even more despairing than before.

Over the course of a whole month, countless zombies were killed throughout the village, but only three orbs of light were emitted.

One of them gained a skill after Zhang Zhen killed a zombie, while the other two were handed over in exchange for some items, which Chang Wei carefully kept.

As for what these two items actually were, only Chang Wei herself knew, and they no longer harbored any further expectations.

Seeing this, Chang Wei nodded slightly and said, "Alright, you may come with me."

Unlike the others, Nakano Miki was a former police officer, and her skills were no less than those of men, so Chang Wei trusted her quite a bit.

"Brother Changwei, I want to go with you too, okay? I have armor now, so I'm not afraid..." The little girl, Komachi, looked at Changwei with sparkling eyes and begged him.

Before she could finish speaking, Yoko Okino grabbed Komachi by the ear and led her inside.

“When I’m not around, all the household affairs are handled by Sato and Satomi Ishihara.”

"If you have any unresolved matters, you can consult Yoko; her wisdom and experience far surpass yours." Chang Wei continued to give instructions, making final arrangements for the impending departure.

The next day, the countryside seemed to awaken from its slumber, brimming with life.

Sixty or seventy people boarded more than a dozen trucks. Chang Wei sat in the jeep at the front, followed closely by Ada Wong and Hoshino Ai.

The driver was a high-ranking official who had leaked information about the grain depot to Sato.

He was once a county-level public official, but now he has become a member of the village, facing life and death with everyone else.

Having endured a month of apocalyptic hardship, he had long forgotten his former identity and knew that he was now merely a survivor struggling to survive.

Therefore, after meeting Sato, he did not hesitate to sell the information he knew about the grain depot, just in exchange for a better living environment.

And the result did not disappoint him. Looking at the uncrowned king of the countryside beside him, Kojiro was thrilled.

He knew that if he could win the favor of the person in front of him, his life would take a qualitative leap.

While Chang Wei was bored on the train, she became very interested in Kojiro and asked curiously, "Kojiro, how did you know where the granary is?"

Kojiro, the civil servant she had once greatly admired before the apocalypse, now seemed mysterious and important to her.

Kojiro suppressed his excitement and answered respectfully:

"Captain Changwei, I used to work in the Agriculture Bureau, and the grain depot was within our management scope."

I once accompanied the bureau chief on a personal inspection of a grain depot. It had a storage capacity of 200,000 kilograms, enough to supply rations for 5,000 people for a month.

He continued, "The grain in the granary is replaced every year. After the new grain is harvested this year, it will replace the old grain from last year."

Unfortunately, this disaster occurred before the new grain harvest this year was even completed.

Therefore, the grain in the granary is all last year's stock.

Kojiro's tone suddenly became somewhat heavy: "However, there is one thing I must confess."

One-fifth of the grain in the granary was empty; it had already been sold.

We originally planned to fill this gap with this year's new grain, but now... that opportunity is gone.

Chang Wei's face instantly darkened, and she roared angrily, "What? You actually dared to sell one-fifth of the grain!" Sato and Hoshino Ai also showed expressions of anger.

In this apocalyptic world, food is their lifeline, and a granary is undoubtedly their lifeline.

However, they are now being told that this straw is not complete. How can they accept this?

However, after his anger subsided, Wei realized that getting angry was pointless.

She took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and said to Kojiro, "Never mind, what's done is done, and there's nothing we can do about it."

At least we can still get over 100,000 kilograms of grain, which is a stroke of good fortune amidst misfortune.

Kojiro was secretly relieved to see that Changwei had not taken his anger out on him.

He continued, "Captain Chang Wei, it's good that you understand our predicament."

We had no choice but to make this choice just to make a living.

Moreover, compared to other grain depots, we have been quite cautious and haven't dared to go too far. "I've heard that the situation above us is even more dire; several massive grain warehouses are completely empty."

Faced with this news, Chang Wei and the others shook their heads helplessly, putting those troubling thoughts aside and instead focusing on their next move—how to transport the grain away smoothly.
