Reborn in 1963: I Hunted and Stockpiled Meat During a Famine

Qin Qiming picked up a flashlight. "Use these for now. Don't light anything inside. If it touches any ammunition, it'll all be over once it ignites."

Qin Qiming arranged for several people to guard outside the bear cave and distributed the military overcoat from the deceased to them.

No one cared and happily put on their military overcoats.

After all, this is much warmer than their patched-up cotton-padded clothes; it's better to wear it than to be freezing.

Qin Qiming, carrying a flashlight, led two people with minor injuries, one in front and one behind, and asked them to lead the way.

The stone wall that was smashed open in front must have been sealed from the inside by the man with the mole in Wangjia Village after his death, and then smashed open from the inside when he escaped.

Qin Kang tied one person up tightly and led the way.

After passing several locations, they found only tools, which Qin Qiming didn't recognize. Liu Qingsong said they were tools for repairing firearms, marked them, and had someone carry them onward.

"That's where we store our grain. All the grain we eat comes from there, and it hasn't been touched."

After turning a corner, the man pointed respectfully.

“They dug quite deep inside, about three-tenths of an acre in size, and it was full of grain.”

Behind that stone door is where the canned goods are stored, but they're all cans left over from long ago by the Japanese soldiers. Nobody wants to eat them, so they're all piled up here..."

Qin Qiming picked up a can and looked at it. It was heavy and felt quite sturdy.

If it's said to be bad-tasting, there's only one possibility: it's canned food from the later stages of the Japanese occupation, and the quality was far inferior.

"How do you know so much? I don't think this is a place that just anyone could come to."

"I only help those bandits manage their accounts and money; I'm not capable of fighting."

After marking the locations and items, the group continued walking in.

They entered another room without a door, where Qin Qiming found many gas masks.

Qin Qiming suddenly thought of something: Why put gas masks here?

The Japanese devils are gone, could it be...?

Qin Qiming thought for a moment, then shook his head. It was probably impossible.

Because the person leading the way was injured, he walked slowly.

"The stone gate here has always been closed. The boss doesn't come here often and won't let us in. I don't know what's inside. How about I take you directly to the middle gate?"

Qin Qiming hesitated.

The Blue-Faced Demon doesn't allow anyone to enter, not even himself; this place is clearly unusual.

After thinking for a moment, Qin Qiming pushed open the stone door.

The stone chamber was small, about twenty square meters.

Qin Qiming used his flashlight to illuminate the surroundings, which were filled with boxes.

Open one of them and you'll find a cannonball inside.

But he suddenly felt something was wrong; he had never heard of such a large shell.

Thinking back to the numerous gas masks he had just seen, his heart tightened.

Poison gas bombs...

He shone the flashlight on it again, becoming more and more convinced.

"Damn you, Green-Faced Demon! How dare you leave this thing here? Aren't you afraid of getting all your men killed if it gets leaked!"

Qin Qiming immediately ordered everyone to leave and put on gas masks.

"Will this thing really work?" Qin Kang's voice sounded a bit muffled after putting it on. "Look at that gang of Blue-Faced Ghosts, they dare to set up camp in this area. Do we really need to go through all this trouble?"

"Brother Kang, are you feeling a little scared?" Qin Qiming asked in a low voice after putting on his weapon securely.

"Who says otherwise? Who isn't afraid of death?" Qin Kang sighed.

"We're not sure if we'll die if we don't wear this, but wearing it is at least a form of insurance. In case anything happens, it can protect us."

After Qin Qiming finished speaking, he led the man forward, leaving marks as he went.

Upon arriving at Shimen, Qin Qiming and his group inspected the area and confirmed that supplies were indeed piled up like mountains.

Except for weapons and ammunition, it has everything.

Because they were training with the troops and Qin Qiming was leading the team, Liu Qingsong and Qin Kang did not put money in their pockets.

If it were anyone else, they would probably have carried all the bags back to the village.

"Is this the middle gate?"

"Yes, this is it."

Looking at the stone door, which was completely blocked by heavy objects and unrecognizable, Qin Qiming asked the bandits beside him, "Were there any traps? How did you deal with it when you left?"

"There are no mechanisms, and the stone door is heavy. If you push it open and it gets stuck, you can block it with something so that it can't be pushed open from the outside."

Qin Qiming nodded, and after confirming that everything was correct, he cleaned the stone gate.

After the cleanup was completed, Qin Kang was consulted, and it was agreed that he would lead a few people to the front gate to meet up with the troops.

Qin Qiming and Liu Qingsong continued to inventory the items.

The stone chamber in front was much larger than the one behind, resembling a bunker and also taller. Signs of a living area became increasingly clear, indicating that people were sleeping there.

Following instructions, Qin Qiming discovered the stored firearms and ammunition.

The stone chamber, which was nearly 300 square meters in size, was filled with wooden crates. After opening a few crates, it was discovered that most of them contained guns and grenades.

On the other side of the stone chamber, different boxes were found, and Qin Qiming immediately recognized the guns inside as American equipment.

There are also some small-caliber cannons...

Liu Qingsong estimates that this equipment can meet the needs of at least several thousand people.

The area leading to the front gate is mostly military supplies; it's more spacious and suitable for storing large quantities of items compared to the middle gate.

After making the record, Qin Qiming continued forward. As he approached a wooden door, the captured bandit suddenly stopped, stammering and unable to speak.

Liu Qingsong, Qin Qiming, and the others immediately became more vigilant.

They grabbed the man, pressed a gun against his back, and pushed open the door to enter the house.

Qin Qiming used a flashlight to illuminate the room. Although the gas mask restricted his vision, he could still see the scene inside clearly.

In that instant, his mind went blank.

There were several naked women inside the room; their blood had already dried.

Liu Qingsong's face instantly stiffened. He squatted down to examine the body, then stood up and shook his head at Qin Qiming: "He just died recently."

"asshole!"

Qin Qiming kicked the bandit in front of him against the wall and drew the pistol from his waist.

"Enlightenment!"

Liu Qingsong rushed forward, grabbed Qin Qiming's gun-wielding arm tightly, and pressed it down with all his might.

"Uncle, what's the point of keeping these villains alive!"

Liu Qingsong's face was grave as he stared directly at Qin Qiming: "Qiming, look at me. What good will it do if you shoot? Can you save them? Don't worry, those people will either be killed or arrested. There won't be any who escape. Not a single one of them will get away."

Seeing that Qin Qiming's emotions had calmed down, Liu Qingsong, to prevent any accidents, snatched the pistol and carefully put it in his pocket.

In the end, Qin Qiming could not control himself and punched and kicked the bandits.

Seeing this, bystanders were afraid that Qin Qiming would make a big mistake and tried to stop him, but Liu Qingsong stopped them: "As long as no one dies, it's fine."

"What are you looking at? Trying to sneak away?"

Liu Qingsong turned around and shouted at the bandits following closely behind, "Trying to escape again!"

"I didn't slip away, I didn't move."
