Apocalypse: After Being Reborn, I Stocked Up on All Supplies-Chapter 159 03-25 - : Gold Brick and Tai Sui
Chapter 159: Chapter 159: Gold Brick and Tai Sui
In Jiang Yan’s understanding, those separately preserved body tissues were probably used for organ transplants or something like that.
After all, she had previously overheard a conversation between Xue Dazheng and Elder Mo.
It looked like what they had been discussing was something else, unrelated to this.
But what were they doing with so many carefully selected human specimens?
Originally, Jiang Yan thought Xue Miaomiao and her party were taking advantage of the natural disaster to build a base while amassing wealth.
Now it seemed she was thinking too small.
...
The other party had obviously come prepared, and it looked like they were conducting some secret experiments in the dark.
As for what they were, that was unknown.
Jiang Yan didn’t ponder further but took a deep breath, gritted her teeth, and continued on her way, submachine gun in hand.
Hua Bao, perched on her shoulder, navigated for her and enlightened her:
“Heeheehee! Mom, even after being processed and refrigerated, an organ transplanted from a donor can only survive outside the body for a maximum of seven days.”
Listening to its explanation, Jiang Yan’s steps halted in front of a glass double door.
The glass was transparent, shimmering with a hint of blue light. It was very thick, and there was a layer of metal grid inside.
Looking through the grid, she saw a room of over a hundred square meters.
Right in the middle of the room was a large, one-meter-high round platform.
Atop the platform was a box made of a material similar to glass.
The box was large, about three square meters in size.
A fine gold wire had been woven into a net that surrounded it.
Jiang Yan’s alertness maxed out in seconds.
“Heeheehee! Mom, the gold bars are inside!” Hua Bao suddenly switched topics, excitedly informing her.
Jiang Yan stepped closer to the glass door to take a look.
Indeed, behind that gold-netted box in the area against the three walls were piles of iron chests.
Those chests were the same as the ones she had seen in the conference room.
Jiang Yan began carefully checking the door lock.
It was then that she discovered the glass door had no lock.
That was strange.
No lock—how does one enter or exit?
Without giving it much thought, she raised her submachine gun and sprayed bullets at the edge of the doorframe.
“Bang bang bang!” Bullet casings clattered to the floor, but the glass door remained unscathed.
Jiang Yan frowned. “…” This glass door was made of exceptionally high-quality, extra-thick bulletproof glass.
But it wasn’t like there were no other options.
She had plenty of explosives in her Space.
But those things were too dangerous.
After considering it for a moment, and making sure there was no one around a second time, she took out a heavy machine gun from her Space.
She found a suitable spot, set up the gun, replaced her earplugs, and then unleashed a barrage of gunfire.
The heavy machine gun was powerful, and the glass door in front was punctured with holes in an instant.
Jiang Yan swiftly stowed the machine gun back into her Space and took out a fire axe, knocking around the punctured area.
The door gave way.
It wasn’t large, but it was sufficient for her to crawl through.
Cannibal Flower had already crawled through ahead of her.
Once she was sure there was no danger, Jiang Yan also crouched down and squeezed in.
The air inside the room was noticeably better.
It even had a faint, fresh, and sweet scent.
Jiang Yan was puzzled, but for safety’s sake, she kept her gas mask on.
With the submachine gun at the ready, she began to carefully scan the surroundings of the room.
Aside from a pile of neatly arranged cardboard boxes in one corner, the rest were all metal chests.
The chests had combination locks on them.
Jiang Yan, armed with the gun, opted for brute force to unlock them.
She opened one at random and was greeted by a dazzling golden gleam.
She picked up a piece, heavy in her hand.
Looking at the engraving on it, [999, 1000g].
Jiang Yan caught her breath.
1000g??!!!
These weren’t just gold bars, they were clearly gold bricks!
About forty to fifty chests were in sight, leaving Jiang Yan utterly stunned.
She took a deep breath, suppressing the thrill of excitement in her heart, and asked Hua Bao:
“Hua Bao, are the other chests also filled with gold bars?”
Hua Bao, unable to wait, had already started stuffing several gold bricks into its mouth,
“Heeheehee! Yes! All of them! Mom, I have a feast again!!!”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yan didn’t hesitate and got to work.
The metal chests were placed close together, and within a second, all the chests containing gold bars were collected into her Space.
She was about to step forward to check that glass box, covered by a gold mesh, when suddenly, “thump!” a faint sound came from the pile of cardboard boxes.
Jiang Yan’s brow furrowed.
Pointing the gun toward the pile of boxes, she strode over.
“Who’s there?”
Hua Bao had already leaped off her shoulder and was one step ahead.
It could only smell gold and silver jewelry, nothing else.
As for anything else, Jiang Yan had a keener sense of smell.
Hua Bao simply waved its small leaves to overturn the pile of cardboard boxes, revealing a gaunt, white-haired old man in a lab coat, curled up with his head in his hands, in front of Jiang Yan.
Jiang Yan gasped in surprise.
She had been careless.
Indeed, she had not expected that someone would be in a place with so much gold.

And importantly, the person looked like a scholar or a lab worker.
Beside him, there was a small box about the size of a regular medical kit.
“Who are you?”
The person’s body trembled, head still buried, not speaking.
As Hua Bao was about to approach, the person’s body shook, and his hands, which were covering his head, quickly retracted, plunged two fingers into his nostrils, and after two sobbing “mmph—mmph—” sounds, he convulsed and fell to one side.
Jiang Yan was startled, taking two steps back instinctively.
That was clearly a symptom of cyanide poisoning.
Just as Hua Bao was about to use its small leaves to hook that little box, a “boom!” sounded.
A cloud of smoke rose from the box.
The box self-destructed…
“Hua Bao, come back,” said Jiang Yan.
After Hua Bao had quickly flipped through the pile of boxes one more time, it jumped back onto Jiang Yan’s shoulder.
Jiang Yan, with a furrowed brow, approached the strange glass box in the middle of the room that she had seen earlier.
Inside the box was a large black, wrinkly mass, and it was unclear what it was.
“Heeheehee! Mom, it’s gold! 999 purity!”
Hua Bao pointed a leaf at the gold mesh around the box, baring its teeth in a grin and moving forward to bite.
Jiang Yan: “…”
She didn’t stop it, instead asking, “Hua Bao, do you know what’s inside? What is it?”
“Heeheehee! Mom, I can’t see clearly now. Looks like a cylindrical jelly!”
“Jelly…” Who has a jelly one meter in diameter and so ugly…
But as long as it wasn’t an organ, it was fine.
In less than half a minute, the gold mesh covering the glass box was completely devoured by Hua Bao.
“Mom, I can see inside now; it’s Tai Sui!! Black Tai Sui!!”
Tai Sui??
Jiang Yan’s confusion deepened.
“Jiang Yan!” Ye Qing’s shout suddenly came from outside.
Jiang Yan had no time to ponder, reached out, and collected the Tai Sui along with the chillingly cold box into her Space.
