Reborn: I Stock Up and Bully the Trash to Dominate the Apocalypse

Chapter 1250

The waves were still roaring.

Volcanic ash is still falling.

The gray cocoon wrapped the base tighter and tighter.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment.

The survivors huddled together, listening to the groans of the walls and feeling the tremors of the earth, struggling to hold on on the edge of despair.

Every second felt like being on the edge of a knife.

After some time, the roaring sound outside seemed to have weakened.

It wasn't a sudden pause, but rather a gradual, subtle change, from a deafening roar to a muffled growl.

Captain Chen suddenly sat up straight, ignoring the pain in his chest, and rushed to the window.

The sparks from the explosion have, at some point, become sparse.

Occasionally, one or two specks of reddish-gold light would fall down, landing on the thick volcanic ash without making a sound, and then vanish.

Lieutenant Yun's throat bobbed: "Finally... it's going to stop..."

After three days and three nights of hellish torment, we finally saw a glimmer of hope.

But Captain Chen's brows quickly furrowed again.

He turned to look at Qi Mingyu, his voice hoarse: "Have the technical team test the composition of the outside air. Also, notify logistics to get the latest air conditioning units out of the warehouse, and prepare those mobile air conditioning pods."

Qi Mingyu instantly understood what he meant.

Captain Chen nodded: "The food and water in the fortress won't last much longer. Especially for those families with little resources, they've probably already run out of food."

"The volcanic ash outside hasn't dissipated yet, so the air is definitely toxic. Have the patrol teams split into several groups, put on new air-conditioned suits, and use air-conditioned mobile cabins for double protection. Deliver supplies door-to-door. Fresh water and smoked dried fish will be distributed according to the number of people, enough for each family to last another three days."

"Yes!" Qi Mingyu saluted and turned to make the arrangements.

His steps were quick and steady, but only his clenched fists betrayed his anxiety.

He wanted to take the lead, so he personally distributed the supplies.

However, he did have the authority to be assigned a route that happened to be in his own area.

That way, he can stop by his own house to check on things.

Those who set off had added a dust-proof coating to the lenses of their masks, allowing them to barely see what was happening three meters away.

People and supplies moved around inside the air-conditioned mobile cabin.

The makeshift cart was filled with supplies, and the mobile cabin could provide clean air in real time, serving as their mobile safe zone.

As soon as the door opened, a pungent smell of sulfur hit my nose.

Even with the air conditioning's filtration system on full blast, that sour and spicy smell still manages to get in, making your throat itch.

Qi Mingyu subconsciously held his breath and took the first step.

The sensation under his feet was something he would never forget.

The thick volcanic ash had already reached above my ankles.

It wasn't a light, fluffy powder; it was a mixture of seawater and cooled lava particles, wet and sticky, making a crunching sound when you stepped on it, like stepping into a layer of rotten silt.

He glanced down.

The shoe surface was instantly stained dark gray, and when you lift your foot, crumbs would fall off.

Looking up again, the sight before them made the two young teammates who were on Qi Mingyu's team gasp in shock.

The once clean and tidy base passageways have long since disappeared.

The walls, ceiling, and alloy doors on both sides of the passageway were all covered with a thick layer of volcanic ash.

The blackish-gray layer was at least an inch thick, like an ugly shroud covering the entire fortress.

In some places, volcanic ash, dampened by rain, flows down the walls, leaving winding black streaks that are a shocking sight.

Dark red liquid seeped from the gaps in the windows and alloy doors on both sides of the passageway.

It was a scab formed from volcanic ash.

“Commander Qi…” Xiao Li’s voice trembled slightly.

"Let's go." Qi Mingyu gritted his teeth and took the lead. "Deliver the supplies first, knock on doors one by one."
