40 Living in the Camping bus

2 to 3 days?

William calculated in his head as he thought about the Xermo that were roaming around in the area. While it might be dangerous for them to stay in one place for a long period of time, they also needed to find a way to stock their weapon, bullets, and find the method to know their potential.

It also meant that they wouldn't be able to leave the city for the time being.

"Are there any transportation nearby?"

"There are several other cars and motorcycles nearby," Yakov responded with a grin. He played with a wire in his hand. "With your order, I can easily lock pick one and then start it by connecting the wire."

Even though their words sounded like they were criminals, this was actually a method that was taught during their time working. After all, there were times when they might need to know how the thieves worked to be able to trap them by doing the same thing to them.

Well, part of work.

"Fine, we'll stay here today. As for food… instant noodles?"

"…I'll open the packs and cook it," Gloria volunteered. There was small kitchen inside the camping bus that could help them to cook. She hadn't tried it yet, so it would be a good idea to try.

William nodded. "Alright. Just cook 10 packs together at the same time since we'll eat a lot."

"10? We're only 6 people, right?"

"We eat a lot."

"And the pot will not fit 10 at the same time," Gloria added, thinking that William might have never cooked before. The small pot would not be able to fit 10 packs of instant noodles at the same time.

"Then find a bigger pot."

"…Fine."

Gloria racked through the items they had and found a big soup pot. It should be enough to cook everything together.

William rubbed his forehead and looked at the camping bus once more. "We'll divide our work starting tomorrow."

"Yes?"

"First, we'll only eat biscuits and other dried food in the morning and afternoon," William said and looked around. The others nodded since they already did that because there was no space for them to cook when the camping bus was still going. The items were practically everywhere.

"Second, at night we'll take turns to cook instant noodles."

Yakov groaned at this notion. "Can't we eat something better? Like meat or probably something more delicious?"

"Aside from canned food, there's only snacks and instant noodles," William responded. Well, what else could they hope from a small convenience store? Most of the food there were either chips, biscuits, or some other snacks. It wouldn't make them full even if they ate an entire pack.

"Third, for tomorrow, we have to start working. Sienna, you're going to clean up the camping bus with Gloria. The trash will be taken out of the camping bus and left behind during our journey."

Well, it was not good to leave trash around, but who would have the time to process it when their lives were at the stake? It would be better to just leave it be and only took care when everything was over.

Sienna nodded. "Alright. I'll tell Gloria about it later."

"Rozan, you're going to modify the camping bus so that it would have some additional useful functions."

Rozan nodded. "Can I also use the items here?"

"Yes, feel free."

"That's good." Rozan smiled brightly. Even though things might no longer be the same as before, his work remained more or less the same. That was good enough for him.

Yakov arched his eyebrows. "Don't tell me that we're the one who will search for weapons and bullets."

"That's precisely true," William replied with a grin.

Yakov groaned. He didn't want to roam around the street with so many Xermo around the area. Silently, he pointed to the camping bus. "And how do you plan to protect this place? Or do you think that no one will attack this place when we're away?"

"We'll lock the place so that no one can get in. Aside from that, I'm sure that they can properly use guns to protect themselves," William responded. The police station was not that far from here, so they wouldn't take a long time to take the weapons too.

"Are you sure?"

"Sienna still needs training, but the others are better."

Sienna's face turned red at that remark. She had never used gun before this incident, so obviously, her skill was very poor.

"Don't worry, I still can protect them as long as they keep watch of the surroundings," Rozan reassured Yakov. He might be an old man, but it didn't mean he was weak. In his daily life before, shooting rats with the gun was quite common.

If they were only talking about accuracy, his accuracy was not that bad.

"Alright, that settled it."

"The food is ready," Gloria said while carrying the pot outside. It was truly a huge pot, nearly half the size of her body.

"Are there any mug around?"

"We can use the cans, right? I will wash it first," Sienna replied. Carrying mug made of glass would be troublesome, so she picked the cans after they had finished eating before.

"Alright." William nodded in agreement. Internally, he was relieved that there was someone who actually remembered to bring the cans since he would have long tossed them away.

With that, they have a different dinner for the first time in a while.
