Chapter 20: An Old Military Bunker

Adam and his team have been traveling for the last two weeks.

Their progress is not that fast. They’ve been stopping often to check some stores or some shops to check for anything useful.

On the third day, one of Adam’s drone saw an old dilapidated convenience store. It got his attention and decided to take a quick look.

He wasn’t expecting to find anything in the first place but he was still hopeful. His suspicion was confirmed when he entered and saw that everything in it was already looted.

The incident unintentionally got him down. Half of the food that he got from the slavers were left in the house. When he left to explore the zoo, he left it there for Eve and for James’s family if they ran out of the food he initially gave them.

However, this also gave him another goal to pursue.

Since he arrived to this world, he didn’t really have any major plans.

His biggest priority is to stay alive. Now, with the help from all of his new toys and capabilities, he is pretty safe.

But, as long as he has no way to produce new recovery potions, he needs to conserve them and find some other ways to acquire some food.

Since then he updated the mission parameters for the A.I. team to search for anything that can be edible.

With the updated mission, the A.I. was able to locate five locations where food was still stored. Four of the location contains two or three cans of preserved food.

At the last location, the drone found a trace of preserved food inside a container truck.

The problem is that, the truck is thirty feet below water. It’s under a river below a collapsed bridge.

Wasteland looters or wondering people would never know that it’s there. Even if they know it’s there, there is now way for me to get to it, let alone take it. Fortunately, Adam can detect it. With the help of his toys, he definitely had the means to take it.

He was able to loot almost two tons worth of canned food, A few hundred bottles of cola and a few sacks of coffee beans.

It was a mother lode of food.

That was 4 days ago. Adam has traveled 50 miles since then.

They’ve been following a paved road due north. It was once a great highway, but it’s just in rubbles now.

Suddenly a new notification from the A.I. informed him that they have discovered something. When Adam saw the video feed coming from the scout drone, he saw what appears to be a small military compound surrounded by a ten foot wall with barb wires on top.

A manned guard tower stood on each of the four corners of the compound covering the base.

The surveillance drone above detected that there are a lot of armed people inside the compound.

In the middle of the base there’s concrete jutting out of the ground which looks like the entrance to an old military undergound bunker.

The entrance is flanked by five feet thick concrete walls. The metal circular gate is half opened. It appears to have been blown open by an explosive charge.
