Cold weapons

The batch of cold weapons he ordered has finally arrived.

Since they are mostly restricted items, they couldn't be transported through normal channels, which made Gu Lin wait anxiously.

But it's undeniable that both in the early and later stages of the apocalypse, cold weapons are highly functional.

As for the hot weapons that were more intimidating to people in the early stages of the apocalypse...

Gu Lin currently doesn't have the means, time, or energy to acquire them. Mainly because it's too inconvenient.

As the son of a nationally renowned scientist, he already faces numerous obstacles when traveling abroad, let alone trying to access the dark web to acquire hot weapons...

It's truly a daunting task.

With the time and energy he has, Gu Lin is better off focusing on stocking up on supplies.

As long as they accumulate enough supplies and focus on leveling up their abilities, with the support of cold weapons, it shouldn't be too difficult for the siblings to survive in the apocalypse.

So, hot weapons can only be hoped for after the apocalypse arrives and looting becomes possible.

If lucky, perhaps they might be able to acquire them from wealthy individuals' homes.

Gu Lin drove his rented car straight to the agreed-upon location for the cold weapons transaction.

Since the other party hadn't arrived yet, Gu Lin parked the car and closed his eyes to rest inside.

In reality, he was using his psychic abilities to scan the surrounding environment.

Hmm, it's a good place without surveillance. It seems they are quite savvy in their choice.

Could there be some other intention behind this?

Before long, Gu Lin's phone vibrated again, displaying the number "1".

He didn't reply. Soon, there was activity within Gu Lin's mental perception range.

The other party arrived in a discreet and durable car , with four burly men inside, each fully armed and wearing masks and hats, only revealing a pair of fierce-looking eyes.

"The goods have arrived, come over and inspect them."

The other party opened the car door, revealing four neatly arranged black boxes on the seat.

A smirk played at the corner of Gu Lin's lips beneath his mask.

At the other party's signal, he began to open each box and inspect its contents.

There were triangular daggers, Tang swords, various lengths of daggers, trench knives, and even sickle swords, all in considerable quantities.

In reality, Gu Lin could have easily scanned the contents with his psychic power to determine if they were genuine, but the other party insisted on him inspecting all the goods.

Gu Lin didn't mind, of course. If the other party intended foul play, with Gu Lin's current abilities and his body strengthened by the spring water in his space, it would be unclear who would prevail.

However, to Gu Lin's surprise, there were no surprises during the inspection process.

It seemed like the other party was just a reputable businessperson concerned about customer satisfaction.

After Gu Lin nodded in approval, the four burly men politely helped him load the boxes into his car.

Gu Lin stood quietly aside, feeling somewhat puzzled.

These people surprisingly didn't have any intention of double-crossing?

He had already paid them in full~

After the car that delivered the goods left, Gu Lin used his psychic power to check and make sure there were no extra cameras or recording devices in the car.

Then, he raised his hand and stored all four boxes into his space.

With these cold weapons, along with the chainsaw he bought passing by the hardware store and the bone-cutting knife he received when buying pork, anyone else trying to get close to Gu Lin would have to think twice about their skills.

Glancing at the delivery notification on his phone, Gu Lin changed course and headed to the warehouse to store the recently arrived parcels in his space.

Goods that he ordered online had also arrived, and all that was left was to prepare pet supplies for Fatty.

After wandering around outside and feeling like there was nothing else he wanted to buy, Gu Lin sent a message to Gu Xue:

"What do you want to eat tonight?"

Not long after, Gu Xue's message came back:

"Let's have spicy hot pot. I just fed Fatty all the chicken I made."

Looking at her helpless expression in the emoji, Gu Lin couldn't help but laugh.

I wonder if it's lucky or unlucky that Fatty followed them.

Gu Lin felt that the lucky side might be slightly bigger.

Although they were eating strange dark dishes that Gu Xue was practicing, at least Fatty now had a stable place to stay, which was better than being outside.

Thinking about Fatty's deep animosity towards humans five years after the apocalypse and its frequent attacks on the base...

It's imaginable how much harm it endured from humans while wandering around.

Gu Lin casually bought a cat toy for Fatty and chose to take the stairs instead of the elevator.

Not long after the apocalypse, the power system had already collapsed.

It would be good to have a light, let alone an elevator.

So Gu Lin planned to start making Gu Xue climb the stairs a few times every day from now on, in addition to training himself.

Although it wasn't necessary to go out dancing every day after the apocalypse, they couldn't stay inside all the time, could they?

Wouldn't that just be blatantly telling others: "I have food at home, come and rob me!"?

And considering the long duration of extreme cold, humans also needed to learn to adapt to the environment on their own.

Relying too much on warm environments would lag behind the forced evolution of all humanity.

Of course, Gu Lin wouldn't let Gu Xue stay cooped up at home all the time.

So, let's start climbing thirty flights of stairs from now on!

Even though Gu Lin's body had been strengthened by the spring water in the space, he still felt a bit breathless climbing thirty flights in one go.

Instead of immediately entering the room, he stood at the stairwell and caught his breath for a moment.

During this gap, there was movement in the space again.

Gu Lin probed with his consciousness and saw what Bai Weiwei had placed—a few pieces of jewelry like jade stones and two boxes of gold.

The quality of those jade stones varied, but they were basically all genuine.

Was Bai Weiwei testing the upgrade conditions of the space?

It seemed that the false "white jade ring matching the jade pendant" mentioned by Gu Lin had given Bai Weiwei a new idea.

Was she looking for a new space? Or was she hoping the space would upgrade to include planting and breeding functions?

Or did she want the spiritual spring mentioned in the apocalypse novels?

No wonder Bai Weiwei had been stuffing things into the space so frequently these past two days.

She probably had everything prepared, waiting for the space to upgrade, right?

But unfortunately, Bai Weiwei would never get what she wanted in this lifetime.

The planting and breeding functions, as well as the spiritual spring mentioned in the apocalypse novels, were all in Gu Lin's hands.

Gu Lin certainly wouldn't grant Bai Weiwei access to other areas.

If Bai Weiwei saw so many animals in the breeding area, what would happen?

However, since Bai Weiwei was so eager to upgrade the space...

A smirk appeared on Gu Lin's lips, and he suddenly had a sufficiently damaging plan in mind.
