Pushing the shopping cart to the bathroom window, Ray checked the supplies to make sure they had everything they needed.
"It's about time. Let's rest for two minutes and then get ready to move the supplies to the car!"
"Okay!"
"Jarvis, bring the car around, and try to keep the noise down!"
Ray went to the bathroom window, looked outside the supermarket, lightly tapped his Bluetooth headset, and instructed.
"Understood, sir!"
Jarvis responded, and Ray immediately heard the subtle sound of the armored vehicle's engine starting.
Then he saw the armored vehicle, under Jarvis's control, slowly move from where it was parked near the north gate last night towards the bathroom window below.
During the process, some zombies, attracted by the noise, charged at the armored vehicle, hitting it with dull thuds.
But despite their heads bleeding and hands frantically beating against the outer iron netting of the windows, they couldn't shake the armored vehicle at all.
However, to avoid attracting more attention, the moment these zombies came within range of the nail gun, Ray immediately lifted the nail gun and unhesitatingly pulled the trigger, firing nails to headshot them.
"It seems necessary to upgrade the nail gun, its effective range is only ten meters. Even though shooting from a higher to a lower position increases the range a bit, once we leave the supermarket, this range will be completely insufficient."
As he continued to kill zombies entering his range, Ray noticed the nail gun's severe limitations and murmured to himself with a slight frown.
Only after headshotting all the zombies attracted by the armored vehicle, earning more than twenty points, did Ray stop.
"We're about ready, Yuqing, come help move the stuff to the car!"
Putting away the nail gun, Ray called out and then climbed through the window, landing on the roof of the armored vehicle parked right below the bathroom window.
"Coming."
Liu Yuqing responded, standing up and coming to the bathroom window.
Just when she was about to start moving the supplies, seeing the ground piled up with various items, she was momentarily at a loss, not knowing where to begin.
Ray looked up and noticed Liu Yuqing's expression, seeing her hesitation.
"Let's start with the rice and flour."
The order of moving supplies was important; without proper arrangement, a lot of space could be wasted, which would mean less room for supplies. Ray certainly didn't want to see that happen.
"Okay!"
Hearing Ray's suggestion, Liu Yuqing immediately agreed, walked over to a bag labeled 50kg of rice, bent down to lift it, but was surprised by its weight and didn't lift it on her first try.
However, being someone who enjoyed sports, she had strength. Prepared mentally this time, she lifted the bag of rice, slowly dragged it to the window, and then, hugging the rice, lifted the whole bag against the wall and pushed it to the window.
Liu Yuqing glanced at Ray on the car roof, warning, "The rice is quite heavy, be careful!"
Saying so, she pushed the rice out of the window.
She expected Ray not to catch it directly, but to her surprise, Ray easily caught the 50kg bag of rice with one hand!
This gave her a new understanding of Ray's strength.
She also felt relieved and quickly began moving the rest of the supplies.
...
Ray and their every move were being watched by survivors in the surrounding residential and office buildings.
In fact, after the commotion Ray caused yesterday, he had become a notable figure in the area, and also the only hope in the eyes of these survivors.
So, they were constantly observing Ray's every action, curious about his next move.
Of course, their attempts to signal for help never ceased, with SOS signs and clothes always in their hands.
In one of the residential buildings, a middle-aged man with a face full of stubble, who seemed to have not slept all night, hair unkempt and eyes bloodshot, sat on a balcony enclosed by glass windows, holding a bottle of beer. He stared intently at Ray and Liu Yuqing moving supplies, gradually harboring resentment in his heart.
Other survivors, seeing Ray and his companion preparing to leave, felt a deep sense of despair.
Ray, of course, noticed them but didn't pay much mind.
In these times, everyone is for themselves; who has the time to care for others?
After moving supplies with Liu Yuqing for over half an hour, until about 9:30 AM, they finally got all the supplies into the armored vehicle.
"There's still a bit of space left; a portable fridge should fit easily."
After placing the last bag of snacks into the armored vehicle, Ray squatted at the passenger seat. Instead of rushing back to the supermarket, he glanced at the nearly full back seat of the armored vehicle, noting a small space about fifty centimeters in length and width and about eighty to ninety centimeters high that was still empty.
The armored vehicle had power outlets, but a power strip was needed since the outlets wouldn't be enough, especially since not only the portable fridge would need electricity, but his phone and some other smart devices as well.
Having a plan in mind, Ray climbed back onto the roof and through the window, returning to the supermarket.
"Let's take a shower, we're all sweaty from moving. We won't have such good conditions once we leave here."
He called out to Liu Yuqing, who was sitting on a flatbed cart, resting and drinking water, feeling tired and sore, and headed towards the staircase.
"Okay."
Liu Yuqing responded, standing up to follow him.
They went back to the fifth floor.
Ray fetched some water in a basin for a shower, just like the night before, found some clean clothes to change into, and checked the time.
"It's ten o'clock. While Yuqing is taking her shower, I'll go upgrade the nail gun again!"
