Chapter 20 - coal

After the four people came out of the apartment, they walked hard until they saw some factories ten kilometers away. Su Yu reminded, "Our card stoves for cooking are not enough. We can find some coal and firewood for cooking, and it can also keep warm." Li Zhun was the most supportive, "Su Yu really thinks about it!" Lin Yiran also nodded, "I'll look for it in the factory later." Several people soon arrived at the factory. These factories had been submerged a lot before, and now they were dilapidated. When people stood on it, they could still see some machines faintly under the ice layer. Su Yu didn't go with the others. She walked to the farthest factory building. This factory building was only 30 centimeters of the roof left after being submerged by the ice layer. Su Yu walked over and kicked it with her foot. The roof of the factory was frozen, making a very muffled sound. Su Yu pulled out her Tang knife, looked at it, and it was time to see the power of the Tang knife. She raised the Tang knife with both hands, "swiped" it down, and the mineral wool board on the top of the factory was cut open. The feel was like cutting tofu. Su Yu cut a few more times, cutting a large hole in the top for one person to enter and exit, before stopping. She retracted her hand, satisfiedly hooked the corner of her mouth, and reinserted the Tang knife into her waist. Suddenly, a sound came from behind. "Awesome!" Su Yu looked back, and both Li Zhun and Lin Yiran were standing not far away looking at her. Obviously, the exclamation was made by Li Zhun. Li Zhun came over, looking at the Tang knife at her waist, his eyes glowing. "Su Yu, your Tang knife is really sharp, awesome! Not worse than the collection of my family's old man!" Su Yu raised her eyebrows, obviously quite enjoying this sentence.

Lin Yiran looked at her several more times, turned around and walked towards the roof before Su Yu noticed, reaching out to Li Zhun for the rope, "I'll go down and take a look first, and you'll follow." There are certain risks in taking the lead. Since Lin Yiran took the initiative to go, Su Yu didn't object. He skillfully tied the rope to the pillar not far away, then grabbed the rope, bit the flashlight, and slowly slid down. Su Yu stood above and looked down. Now the sunlight was weak, and not much light entered inside, so it was rather dark and couldn't be seen clearly. Only the faint light from Lin Yiran's flashlight could be seen. Two minutes later, he finally landed on the ground and stood firm, then looked around with the flashlight to make sure there was no danger before looking up and calling them down. Su Yu let Li Zhun go down first, then grabbed the rope and tried to slide down slowly. Fortunately, she was wearing gloves, otherwise, she would definitely be scratched. This factory building is well sealed, and not much water has been flooded inside, so there are not many frozen areas. Su Yu walked carefully on the ice, looking around with a strong flashlight, and the brighter her eyes became. Fortunately, this is a type of coal mine, specifically for the processing of honeycomb coal. Although many of them are under the ice layer, there are still quite a few finished coals on the ice. It's just a little damp. Su Yu saw a door on the west side of the factory building, guessing that it should be the warehouse. After using the universal key to open it, she shone the flashlight and saw indeed a large number of honeycomb coals, all of which were packed in foam boxes and stacked in boxes. This cold wave, they will be much better. Looking at these large amounts of honeycomb coal, Su Yu immediately shouted for the people outside to come in. "There are a lot of coal, and they are still dry." Lin Yiran walked in first, and Li Zhun looked happy. "So many!" So many honeycomb coals can not only be used for cooking, but also for heating. Just be careful to keep the windows open for ventilation. Lin Yiran arranged, "Let's find some boxes and ropes and send the coal out."

"So much?!"

"Go up first and call Qiu Qin. Transport thirty boxes back, and I'll have someone come to collect the rest."

Lin Yiran said lightly, then looked for boxes and ropes with Li Zhun, and let Li Zhun go up first.

Now, there are only the two of them in the house.

Lin Yiran looked at Su Yu, as if he was sure that she understood, and said, "The rest will trouble you."

Su Yu nodded, cautiously asking him to transport the coal up first, and leaving the rest to her.

An hour later, several people managed to send up thirty boxes of coal. After Su Yu waited for Lin Yiran to go up, she waited for a while before entering the warehouse to collect the remaining coal. She didn't miss the damp coal and cinder in the factory either. After looking up and confirming that there was no one above, she also collected them all.

She put her one-sixth of the coal aside and placed the rest of the coal on the other side, together with his supplies.

In the later stage, such resources as coal can only be mined by the state. She collects a little more now, and she can live better in the base in the future.

After collecting, Su Yu grabbed the rope and prepared to climb up bit by bit, but after a few climbs, she felt that the rope was being pulled upwards by someone. Su Yu guessed that it was Lin Yiran and the others, so she just held the rope and let them pull her out.

After coming out, Su Yu quietly thanked them.

There were too many thirty boxes of coal, and the kayak could not fit them all, so there were still seven or eight boxes of coal left on the snow. Lin Yiran, Qiu Qin, and Li Zhun were also carrying a large bag on their backs, probably filled with quite a few useful supplies.

Su Yu offered to stay here and let them send it back first.

Lin Yiran frowned, disagreed, "It's very dangerous in the wild."

Qiu Qin nodded in agreement.

Li Zhun also felt unsafe and said, "Yeah! It's fine if it's a human, but it would be troublesome if it's a wild beast!"

Su Yu: "... "Thank you very much!

After a long while, Su Yu touched her Tang knife, thought about it, and took out the gun, looking at the three and saying, "These are enough for me to protect myself."

Li Zhun looked at the supplies on the ground, "Or else I'll stay here?"

Su Yu shook her head and firmly requested to stay.

Lin Yiran frowned tightly, had no choice but to sigh, and agreed, "Then you find a factory to hide in, and we'll be back soon."

He suddenly came closer, scaring Su Yu to subconsciously want to back away, but he only stopped one step away from her, took down the bag, took out three sealed cans and a bag from it, and handed it to her.

"This is my homemade smoke bomb. Use a lighter to light the string on it. Also, there are two hundred bullets in this bag. You can use it if there is anything wrong."

Su Yu blinked, didn't move.

The male lead is really generous, giving her so much?!

Lin Yiran saw that she didn't move, afraid that she wouldn't accept it, he came closer again and whispered, "This is also a thank-you gift for helping me collect things just now."

Su Yu whispered, "I've already received my payment."

Lin Yiran didn't say anything, insisted on putting the things in her hand.

"Take it."

Although Su Yu got along well with Lin Yiran and used the collected supplies to offset staying in his apartment, since he took the initiative to give her things, she wouldn't refuse for nothing.

When Lin Yiran saw that she accepted it, he slightly hooked his lips and quickly pressed down the corners of his mouth, then turned around and walked towards Li Zhun and the others.

"We're leaving."

"Su Yu , wait for us to come back!"

Su Yu nodded, watching the three of them drag two kayaks and walk forward with difficulty.

Until they were out of sight, Su Yu found a factory that wasn't completely flooded and still had a gate, then used the Tang knife to cut the frozen chains, pushed the door open, and went in.
