Chapter 48 Sweeping Through the Logistics Park, Collecting Hundreds of Thousands of Blind Box Packages
Heat.
Even while wearing the highest-grade liquid-cooled thermal insulation suit, the moment she stepped out of the armored vehicle, Lin Xingwan still felt a suffocating sensation rushing toward her.
At sixty-five degrees, even the air she breathed felt like it was scorching her windpipe.
Inside the massive sorting center, it was deathly silent.
Due to power outages and the extreme heat, the employees here had all fled a full day ago.
What remained were courier packages piled up like mountains, covering the entire landscape.
On the conveyor belts, in the sorting pools, and even on the open ground.
Cardboard boxes, both large and small, looked like rolling hills that stretched as far as the eye could see.
"This quantity is even more exaggerated than I imagined."
Lin Xingwan walked to the nearest "mountain of packages," her eyes flashing with the excited glint of a hungry wolf.
Huo Yuan held an assault rifle, standing guard a few steps behind her.
"Hurry up and collect them."
He scanned the surroundings vigilantly, his voice low.
"The temperature here is too high; if there are flammable or explosive items in some of the packages, they could spontaneously combust at any time."
"I know."
Lin Xingwan didn't waste words, directly placing her palm onto the large cardboard box at the very bottom.
Closing her eyes, her Mental Power erupted instantly like a tsunami!
"Collect!"
"Whoosh—!"
Accompanied by an extremely faint sound of rushing air.
The "little hill" that was just three stories high and composed of tens of thousands of packages.
Vanished into thin air instantly!
This absolute visual impact made even Huo Yuan, who had seen it once before, twitch his eyes uncontrollably.
This woman's cheat code was simply unreasonable.
"So satisfying!"
Lin Xingwan opened her eyes, looked at the empty ground, and took a deep breath.
Hundreds of thousands of packages had been easily stuffed into her space.
What was inside?
Expensive imported skincare products? The latest digital electronic products?
Or perhaps high-end imported snacks, designer bags, or even wilderness survival gear that someone had bought?
She didn't know.
This sense of the unknown, like opening a blind box, made Lin Xingwan's dopamine secrete wildly; she couldn't stop.
She moved rapidly through the massive sorting center like a tireless ghost.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Wherever her Mental Power passed, nothing was left behind.
Zone A, cleared!
Zone B, cleared!
Zone C, cleared!
In less than ten minutes.
The super logistics park, which had originally been piled with millions of packages, was as clean as if it had been swept by a hurricane.
Not even a single shipping label that had fallen on the ground was left behind.
"Boss Huo, how was that? This restocking speed, fast enough, right?"
Lin Xingwan clapped the dust off her hands and turned to look at Huo Yuan.
Huo Yuan looked at the woman with her face full of excitement, a trace of indulgent amusement flashing in his eyes.
"It's fast, alright."
He walked forward and used his gun barrel to gently lift the collar of Lin Xingwan's thermal suit, helping her straighten it.
"But didn't you clear it out a bit too thoroughly? You didn't even spare the water dispenser in the employee breakroom."
"Since I'm already here."
Lin Xingwan shrugged righteously.
"In The Apocalypse, even a needle is a good item."
As they spoke, the two walked toward the armored vehicle.
Just then, Lin Xingwan's gaze unintentionally swept across the deepest part of the logistics park.
There, stood a building with a peculiar design.
The outer walls were extremely thick, almost without windows, and the main entrance was that kind of massive, heavy insulated door.
There was still lingering white frost on it that hadn't completely melted.
"That is..."
Lin Xingwan stopped and narrowed her eyes to identify it carefully.
"The largest underground cold chain wholesale center in the city!"
She suddenly remembered something, and her eyes brightened astonishingly.
"How could I have forgotten this place!"
In her previous life, when she was struggling to survive in the extreme cold of The Apocalypse, she had heard a rumor.
The extreme heat arrived, and the whole city lost power.
But this cold chain center had managed to hold on for a long time because it possessed an independent, high-power backup generator set.
It stored thousands of tons of top-grade seafood, high-end meats, and frozen foods!
"What is it? Is there something you want to eat inside?"
Huo Yuan looked in the direction of her gaze, keenly sensing the change in her emotions.
"Not just food."
A cruel sneer curled up at the corners of Lin Xingwan's mouth.
"Inside, there is also an old acquaintance of mine from my previous life."
That black-hearted wholesaler who, in order to seize supplies, sold her moldy biscuits during the extreme cold, causing her to almost die from diarrhea—Skinflint Zhou!
This old thing had relied on this cold storage in his previous life to make a fortune and throw his weight around during the early stages of The Apocalypse.
She hadn't expected to run into him ahead of time in this lifetime.
"An old acquaintance?"
Huo Yuan keenly caught this term.
His gaze turned cold, and the killing intent in his bones surged up instantly.
"Man or woman? Do you need me to kill them for you?"
Lin Xingwan couldn't help but laugh as she watched his protective, wolf-dog demeanor.
"A man."
She patted Huo Yuan on the shoulder.
"However, killing him would be letting him off too easily."
"I want to make him watch helplessly as all the assets he is so proud of become my possession."
Lin Xingwan turned around and strode toward the cold chain center.
"Let's go, Boss Huo."
"Accompany me to meet this 'old friend'."
