Chapter 83: Ultra-Luxurious Interior!
Clack!
As the car door slowly slid open, everyone stepped into the newly upgraded Mobile Shelter with hearts full of excitement.
"Wow!!"
The moment they walked in, Liu Yuqing, Yu Shishi, and Hoshino Hikari couldn't help but gasp in amazement.
Their eyes were practically sparkling!
'This is way too spacious?!'
After Wang Meng's magical overhaul, the original 1st Floor Living Carriage was a full 3 times larger than before!
"Look over here!"
Wang Meng introduced everything like a proud tour guide:
"Considering everyone's quality of life, I've set up separate wet-and-dry bathrooms on both the 1st and 2nd floors!"
"Fully automatic flush toilets and an open-plan kitchen!"
【1st Floor Living Carriage】
"This is amazing!!"
All 3 girls were so excited they nearly jumped up and down.
In the apocalypse, having a clean toilet and a hot bath was nothing short of paradise!
There was no doubt about it—this would be the home they'd rely on from now on.
……
Passing through the spacious 1st floor living room, everyone made their way to the Driver's Cab at the front of the vehicle.
After the renovations, it had been fully opened up into the rear carriage, forming its own separate dormitory area.
【Driver's Cab and Living Area】
However, to ensure safety and privacy, it could only be accessed from inside the carriage and couldn't be opened directly from the driver's cab.
Guo Shuai looked around. The interior décor was completely in the style of an upscale university dormitory.
Though it had bunk beds, it gave off an inexplicably warm and cozy feeling.
He flashed Wang Meng a thumbs-up.
"Wang-bro! You've really thought of everything!"
"This way we avoid any awkwardness, and when the boss needs us for something, we can still talk face-to-face right away!"
Jiang Nan gave a satisfied nod as well.
Wang Meng—that guy had always been exactly what he needed.
Not just because his ability was useful, but because he was sharp.
He knew how to read the situation and paid attention to all kinds of details.
He was outstanding material for infrastructure and logistics work—worth cultivating with special attention.
At that moment.
The little Circle-Face Entity, who had been clinging to Guo Shuai's leg the whole time, tilted its head up.
"Daddy~"
"Is this where we're going to live from now on?"
Guo Shuai crouched down and patted its head:
"That's right, Quanquan."
"This is our home now."
"……"
Jiang Nan, standing to the side, couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his mouth.
He really wanted to say something.
'Why are you so naturally treating this random monster you picked up like your own son?'
'You even gave it such a casual name like "Quanquan"?'
‘Forget it.’
Seeing how genuinely happy Guo Shuai looked, Jiang Nan didn't say anything more.
As long as this thing didn't go out of control, it was fine if the other guy liked it.
‘Consider it…’
‘A reward for a brutal battle.’
……
After touring the Driver's Cab, everyone returned to the living room.
Wang Meng walked up to an unassuming metal door with a mysterious air.
"Also, boss, I've prepared a surprise for you."
Clack.
The door opened.
Inside, it looked completely empty—only a few square meters—but it gave off a pulsing spatial fluctuation.
"This is the 【Dimensional Supply Storage Room!】"
Wang Meng explained.
"I used the 【Void Stomach Pouch】 from that Starving Wraith you crushed outside the school gate as the core!"
"Don't let the size fool you—it only looks like 4 square meters, but the actual capacity is enormous!"
"I've already stuffed all the weapons, food, and water we traded for earlier inside!"
"From now on, we can grab supplies whenever we need them—no more piling everything up in the living room!"
Jiang Nan tore off a sticky note and pressed it onto the door.
【Well done.】
Then he turned to look at Liu Yuqing and pointed at the silver briefcase in her hands.
【Go ahead and distribute the Enhancement Serums.】
【Hoshino Hikari and Yu Shishi each get 1 D-Grade serum.】
【Everyone else gets the full set (1 each of D, C, and B-Grade).】
【Additionally, you're authorized to go up to the 2nd floor and sort the valuable supplies.】
Liu Yuqing blinked, and instinctively asked:
"Boss… what about yours?"
Jiang Nan waved his hand and tossed out a sticky note.
【I don't need any.】
In truth, he could just claim something better through the leaderboard's settlement rewards.
There was no need to compete with his subordinates over these resources.
Of course…
It absolutely was not because his palate had been spoiled by S-Grade serums.
Absolutely not!
"Understood!!"
Liu Yuqing stood at attention and saluted, without a single objection.
Yu Shishi and Hoshino Hikari had only received D-Grade serums.
They glanced somewhat enviously at the full sets in everyone else's hands—but in the next moment, they let it go.
One has to be content.
After all, compared to Guo Shuai and the others who had fought tooth and nail…
Their contributions in this battle had honestly been rather small.
Getting a D-Grade serum to strengthen their bodies was already an enormous blessing.
"Then… I'll take the remaining 1 D-Grade, 2 C-Grade, and the B-Grade serums—once I've handed them out, I'll go store them in the 2nd floor cabinets for you!"
Liu Yuqing said sensibly.
……
With distribution complete, Jiang Nan nodded and casually gestured to Yekaterina and Chen Tong behind him.
【Upstairs.】
The 2 women exchanged a glance, their hearts fluttering with excitement, cheeks faintly flushed.
The 2nd floor…
That was the boss's exclusive domain.
Which meant it would be their private chambers going forward.
They followed close behind Jiang Nan and made their way up the spiral staircase.
This was a duplex-style design.
Though the 2nd floor was only 80 square meters, it had been fitted out as an utterly lavish presidential suite!
Soft wool carpet.
A king-sized bed, large enough for 3 or 4 people.
A standalone luxury bathtub…
【2nd Floor Living Carriage】
"Oh my goodness……"
Chen Tong and Yekaterina stood there with mouths wide open, unable to believe this was the apocalypse.
This was even more luxurious than where they'd lived before it all began!
"Jiang Nan… I love you!"
Chen Tong was so moved, her eyes reddened. She rushed up, grabbed his face, and planted a kiss on his cheek.
Yekaterina watched, feeling a little shy.
But she also mustered up her courage and leaned in, rising on her tiptoes to press a light peck on Jiang Nan's other cheek.
After that, the 2 of them squealed like they'd discovered a whole new world and ran off to explore the room and the walk-in wardrobe.
Jiang Nan stood where he was.
Same as always—cool and composed.
Then he walked to the enormous floor-to-ceiling window.
Gazing at the sun gradually slanting westward outside, his eyes drifted toward the far north.
'Time to decide the next destination…'
He quietly calculated in his mind.
Now that they had a Mobile Fortress, ample supplies, and a team that had undergone initial enhancement—
What came next?
What was all this adventuring for?
To become stronger.
And the first step toward growing stronger…
Was to open up the map.
Jiang Nan pulled out from his chest the incomplete Eerie Island map he'd brought back from the Archive Room.
The hard drive from before had only unlocked the southern region.
So where was the key clue to unlocking the other half of the map?
His gaze locked onto the Terminal Signal Tower marker in the northeastern part of the map.
Without question.
There was only 1 place.
Seattle Mercy Hospital.
