Ch 124: Equipment Depot
Lu Fan looked again carefully. Not a single member of the Lu Family was missing. It seemed these soldiers were quite thoughtful.
He ignored their shouts and pleas for mercy. Instead, he was quite pleased with the soldiers’ initiative:
“That saves a lot of trouble. Take all these people to prison. If you dare let even one escape, you’ll take their place.”
“Yes.” The soldiers immediately escorted the Lu Family to Qingcheng Prison.
Lu Fan then looked at the team leader in logistics uniform in front.
“Team Leader Logistics, arrange accommodations for these people. Li Yu, you and I will go to the Equipment Depot.”
“Yes!” The Team Leader saluted. He hadn’t expected to see everyone again and quickly accepted the order, leading Ma Yuanbai and the vagrants away from the Plaza.
Li Yu gave Fu Xiyao a reassuring look. Fu Xiyao nodded, led Xiao Hei, and followed the others.
“My apologies for the sight.” Lu Fan smiled, turning his head, only to be surprised to find Wang Tianzhao still behind him.
“Why are you still here? Weren’t you not helping?”
“Who said I wasn’t helping? I’m just seeing what kind of tempting conditions you can offer.” Wang Tianzhao explained nonchalantly.
Lu Fan was speechless but didn’t say anything else. Instead, he turned to Li Yu:
“Let’s go to the Equipment Depot and improve our equipment.”
“Okay.” Li Yu nodded.
“Adjutant.” Lu Fan raised his voice, his gaze searching among the soldiers for the person in charge.
“Yes!” The Adjutant quickly stepped forward.
“Take us to the Equipment Depot.” Lu Fan ordered.
“Yes.” The Adjutant immediately saluted, then quickly turned and led the way toward the Equipment Depot.
The Small Equipment Depot was located underground in Qingcheng. The entrance was in a hidden location, known only to a few.
When Lu Fan and the others arrived, the person in charge and the soldiers in the Equipment Depot had already opened the gate.
They were standing neatly at the entrance waiting. They clearly already knew the news of Qingcheng’s change of ownership.
“Welcome, City Lord, to inspect.” The person in charge and the soldiers shouted in unison.
“Return to your posts.” Lu Fan said.
“Yes.” Seeing that Lu Fan’s purpose wasn’t them, these people finally returned to the Equipment Depot with relief.
Passing through the heavy blast doors, several people continued inside.
“This was converted from a small shelter. It’s very strong and can withstand external catastrophes and attacks.”
The Adjutant explained in detail as they descended the stairs to the interior of the Equipment Depot.
A large circular corridor branched out in all directions. The lights were exceptionally bright upon entry.
“That’s the equipment area. The weapons area is over there. The protective equipment area is on the left. The supplies area is at the end of the passage behind.” The Adjutant continued to introduce.
“This won’t do. It’s not only small, but even the shelter reserves are insufficient.” Wang Tianzhao kept shaking his head, his face full of disdain.
Lu Fan pretended not to hear and quickly headed towards the equipment area with Li Yu.
The Adjutant immediately opened the door to the equipment area, and several people entered.
Li Yu looked up and saw rows of shelves neatly arranged, with various clothes and equipment on them.
Seeing these things, Li Yu’s eyes lit up.
“Get a set according to his size.” Lu Fan pointed to Li Yu.
The Adjutant glanced at Li Yu’s build, immediately went to the shelves, and quickly picked up item after item.
Soon he had gathered a complete set of appropriately sized equipment.
“Change into it now.” Lu Fan frowned at Li Yu’s worn clothes.
This appearance was extremely deceptive, completely mismatched with Li Yu’s strength.
Li Yu took the equipment: a pair of waterproof combat boots, a tactical suit, and a bulletproof vest.
He took out his belongings, casually tore off his old clothes, and discarded them to the side.
Then he quickly changed into the brand-new tactical suit, put on the waterproof combat boots, and they fit perfectly.
Then Li Yu eagerly put on the bulletproof vest.
【Equipment Acquired】
【Bulletproof Vest LV1: Made of multiple layers of protective materials, it can absorb the kinetic energy of bullets or shrapnel, can withstand most bullets and explosive fragments, and has a significant protective effect.】
【Defensive Ability +10, Damage Reduction 10%】
“It’s really armor!”
Li Yu didn’t have time to be happy; his gaze quickly shifted to the row of helmets in front.
“Can I have this?” Li Yu pointed at the helmet.
Seeing this, the Adjutant quickly picked up a helmet and handed it over.
Li Yu excitedly and quickly put the helmet on.
Lu Fan and Wang Tianzhao exchanged glances, somewhat puzzled. With Li Yu’s range, did he need a bulletproof helmet? Even a rifle wouldn’t reach that far, right?
【Equipment Acquired】
【Bulletproof Helmet LV1: Made of polymer materials, equipped with a fiberglass face mask, it can absorb and dissipate the energy of bullets, effectively protecting the head.】
【Mental Defense +10, Mental Strength +10】
“Good stuff!” Li Yu lifted the face mask of the helmet, seemingly unwilling to take it off.
“Could you get another set for a woman, about this tall?” Li Yu gestured to the Adjutant.
The Adjutant looked at Lu Fan, who nodded.
Seeing this, the Adjutant went to the back and found a small tactical suit and bulletproof vest.
“Helmet too?” The Adjutant asked Li Yu.
“Yes.” Li Yu replied.
The Adjutant handed over the complete set of equipment again.
Li Yu took the equipment from the Adjutant, packed it all up, and then was satisfied.
Lu Fan suddenly ordered the Adjutant:
“Send someone to get three thousand camouflage uniforms and boots, and send them to those vagrants.”
Although it’s impossible to send that many sets of equipment, sending some camouflage uniforms is still no problem.
Hearing that Lu Fan was going to give clothes to the vagrants, Li Yu didn’t object, as the people in his alliance didn’t even have decent clothes.
Meanwhile, outside, the Adjutant quickly led the vagrants to another large prefabricated shelter.
Unlike the previous one, this prefabricated shelter was filled with beds, each bed separated by partitions, giving them a bit of personal space.
Soft blankets were on the beds, making one want to lie down.
Seeing the beds, the vagrants’ eyes widened, but they restrained themselves. No one acted rashly; they all looked to Ma Yuanbai, awaiting his instructions.
Seeing their reaction, Ma Yuanbai felt a sense of relief. These vagrants had finally learned to obey orders.
Every day when they received their Algae Sticks, Ma Yuanbai constantly brainwashed and trained them.
With Zhao Xiong and Sun Hao’s distribution, the vagrants rushed forward one by one. They had never slept in a bed before.
Inside the Equipment Depot.
Li Yu and the others had entered the weapons area.
There was only one type of rifle, neatly arranged in rows.
Some daggers and iron bars were on the shelves to the side.
“Young Master Lu Fan, this is only the nearest small Equipment Depot. These are the only weapons here; other heavy weapons are not stored here.” The Adjutant softly explained.
