Chapter 98: Global Nuclear Explosion 10
Bai Sinian took the small box from her hand; it was heavy, but not as heavy as when it was larger.
“There’s more than just this, right?”
He tossed the treasure box in his hand and looked up at her.
“Yes, it’s also a spatial item.”
Chu Yian nodded, saying without any concealment, “It has a cubic meter of space, enough to hold quite a few things.”
As she spoke, she observed Bai Sinian’s expression. Sure enough, she saw his eyes light up. Although he quickly returned to an indifferent expression, she still caught that subtle change.
Seeing this, she continued, “This spatial item is completely under my control. It cannot be abandoned, gifted, or dropped.”
Chu Yian’s words were quite skillful.
First, she directly told him she had an extremely precious spatial item, and then she implied that if he wanted to use this spatial item, he would have to keep her around.
No normal person would be willing to kill a player with a spatial item, right?
Perfectly played.
Bai Sinian looked at her upon hearing this, his smile growing wider and wider. “You really are… clever.”
He waved his hand at the subordinate standing nearby, and the man stepped forward and released Chu Yian. “What’s your name?”
“My name is Chu Yian. Big Brother can just call me Little Chu.”
Life was like this. In the previous round of the game, she was the boss; in this round, she became Little Chu.
“What should I call Big Brother?”
“Bai Sinian.”
“Hello, Brother Bai!” Chu Yian stood up straight and bowed to him, very aware of her role as a subordinate.
Unfortunately, Bai Sinian wasn’t buying it. He threw the treasure box to Chu Yian. “Open it and see what you’ve stored inside.”
Chu Yian paused for a second upon hearing this, then nodded.
She enlarged and opened the treasure box, revealing the map, water, food, medicine, flashlight, radio, compass, gas mask, and the signal flare she won from the lottery.
Bai Sinian checked them over. “Not bad, quite well-prepared.”
“Hehehe, in the future, my things are Brother Bai’s things too.”
Chu Yian chuckled, taking a bottle of mineral water from the treasure box. “What does Brother Bai want to eat? I have compressed biscuits and canned food here.”
“Canned food.”
She only had a few, which she was reluctant to eat, but Bai Sinian showed no politeness at all.
“Alright.”
Chu Yian smiled as she handed him the can, then looked at the remaining few people. “As for these Big Brothers, my food might not be enough.”
“They have their own food, no need to give them any.”
Bai Sinian waved his hand, and these men went to fetch two boxes of food from the car. They had cans, biscuits, bread, instant noodles—everything. They had food but still came to snatch hers, how outrageous.
Chu Yian thought silently, taking back the can of meat and half bottle of water she had just placed outside.
She found a spot relatively far from Bai Sinian and sat down. She was halfway through her meal when she was called again, “Has your radio received any messages recently?”
“No.”
She said, trying to tune the radio, but it was still just static. “Does Brother Bai have any news of a survival base?”
Bai Sinian glanced at her, his expression as if to say, “If I did, would I be asking you?”
Seeing this, Chu Yian lowered her head and ate her canned food.
This Big Brother was moody; it was best not to provoke him.
The strong winds outside blew for an entire day.
The already narrow room became even more cramped after five adult men were added. Chu Yian curled up in a corner to rest until deep into the night, when it was pitch black outside, and she was woken by Bai Sinian’s subordinate.
At this point, Bai Sinian and the others were already packed and ready to depart.
He put on the gas mask he had just taken from Chu Yian, and the others also packed their belongings, ready to leave.
Seeing this, Chu Yian quickly got up, put the quilt hanging by the door into her game inventory, then took out a new gas mask and put it on.
“The quilt is a game item?”
Bai Sinian watched her put away the flowery quilt and recognized it at once. “You have quite a lot of points.”
“It’s only thirteen or fourteen points, I’m very poor.”
Chu Yian replied, deliberately downplaying her wealth and feigning poverty.
Bai Sinian said nothing, just let out a laugh and then left.
They were driving a 7-seater commercial van, with the driver’s seat and front passenger seat, two seats in the first row behind, and three seats in the very back. Bai Sinian liked to sit in the very back, occupying an entire row of seats by himself.
But now… Chu Yian hesitated, looking at the already full seats in front, and awkwardly sat next to him. “This car is really spacious, hehe.”
Bai Sinian didn’t respond. He was wearing a gas mask at the moment, so his expression was unclear, and Chu Yian could only see his face directly facing her.
Why was he facing her?
Was he going to shoot at her with the gas mask?
“Take off the gas mask on your head.”
Bai Sinian’s voice suddenly came from under the gas mask. Chu Yian was stunned upon hearing this. “What?”
“I want the one on your head.”
A moment later, Chu Yian and Bai Sinian exchanged gas masks. She put on the old one, while Bai Sinian put on the new one she had just taken out.
It was just for this!
Chu Yian looked at him incredulously. This Big Boss Bai Sinian really had no gentlemanly manners at all.
Pah, what a jerk.
She silently scorned the person next to her in her heart, then looked at the scenery receding outside the window and grew curious. “Brother Bai, where are we going now?”
“To find a small town to replenish some fuel and food.”
Bai Sinian said slowly.
His thoughts were quite similar to hers. Chu Yian nodded and also offered her opinion, “If possible, can we also find a pharmacy? Even if we’re careful while running around outside, we’ll still be affected by radiation. If we can buy some potassium iodide tablets or similar medicines, it can effectively prevent the harm caused by radiation.”
Bai Sinian slowly sat up upon hearing this. “Are those the medicines in your spatial item?”
“Mm.”
Chu Yian nodded. “Also, if possible, let’s look for waterproof clothing and soap.”
She had been reading about nuclear explosion self-rescue methods until the very last moment of the explosion. Waterproof clothing could better prevent the invasion of radioactive dust, and soap could be used to wash the skin after contact with radioactive dust, which had the effect of reducing radiation.
She had only seen these while on the subway, but unfortunately, there was no time to prepare then.
“What else do you need? Make a list first.”
Bai Sinian had someone bring out paper and pen and handed them to Chu Yian. “We’ll get some weapons first, then search for supplies.”
“Okay.”
Chu Yian took them and nodded, suddenly feeling that this ruthless Big Boss was actually quite reliable. This reliability continued until the vehicle stopped at the police station of an unfamiliar small town.
Chu Yian looked up, with some uncertainty in her eyes. “Are we getting weapons here?”
