The conversation between the people here solved the question for He Zizhong.
“God, so many good cars?!”
“Look! Lamborghini!”
“What’s that? What use is this kind of sports car driving out these days? The predator that the group of people drove away in the daytime is a bull. It’s a pity…”
It seems that these people were near the warehouse area before.
One person turned around the limited edition Lamborghini twice and touched the body reluctantly. “Those people are very capable to clean up so many zombies.”
“Hmph, if it wasn’t for those zombies that blocked the way, how could those people drive away with such good cars?” One of them grunted, unconvinced, and glanced at the half-empty warehouse.
“Bro, what do you think they were here for?”
“To take things, duh. Didn’t they also go to warehouse no. 5?”
“What’s in that warehouse? Food? Drink?”
“By the way, where did they come from?”
“Who knows? They have a lot of people, and they have guns… maybe a base somewhere? Choose cars quickly, we have to go back to get food after selecting.”
He Zizhong originally wanted to hug Tuanzi and return to the space. But after hearing their words, he hesitated. With the help of nearby vehicles, he hid in a pile of debris in the corner and listened quietly to the conversation of the group.
It turns out that these people are survivors who were stuck in warehouse no. 3 after the apocalypse. But unlike warehouse no. 31, warehouse no. 3 contained foreign foodstuffs. There was not only a lot of food, but also a lot of drinks, enough to support them in the past month since the apocalypse.
But because there were a lot of zombies on the periphery of warehouse no. 31, they were blocked several times. They had to wait until now, after the Samsara team and He Zizhong arrived and cleaned up the zombies. Only then did they dare to come out.
Originally, they wanted to ask the Samsara team for news, but they saw the guns in their hands. Out of fear that they were some desperadoes, they dispelled the idea and hid quietly in warehouse no. 3 before they dared take advantage of the darkening skies to come out and find a car.
There were only eight people in the group, and in the end they drove away a full eight cars. Because the gasoline in the garage has been taken away by Guo Bing and the others, they didn’t care too much about this issue. After drawing some gas from other cars, they left driving several eye-catching cars.
The question now is whether to go to warehouse no. 3 or not? Even if these people fill up all the cars, there will probably be some food left…
Those things are optional, but…
With a twist in his heart, He Zizhong decided to go over and take a look. Taking out a piece of paper from the space, he hurriedly wrote a few lines down and gave it to Tuanzi to send to Fang Hao. In the meantime, he chose a few more bulletproof cars from the remaining stock and threw them in the space. Those people only knew how to pick based on brand, but did not know which ones were bulletproof or not. They even left all the modified bulletproof cars that He Zizhong had fancied behind!
Putting away the remaining vehicles, He Zizhong quickly emerged out of the warehouse, and ran towards the courtyard wall at the back of the warehouse. Climbing up with the blessing of his wind abilities, he dropped back down. From here, traveling by foot is faster than driving to the intersection and back to reach warehouse no. 3.
The sound of several cars crashing cut through the air, and human voices screaming sounded in the warehouse area.
When those cars drove passed the gate of warehouse no. 31 where the zombies had been wiped out during the day, they suddenly ran into a dark, huge figure that appeared on the road at some point…
He Zizhong was taken aback for a moment, and a chill suddenly appeared in his heart. There was something!
The direction of battle was the road intersection. It’s likely that group of people encountered something!
Fortunately, the intersection was far away from where He Zizhong was, and he still had a lot of time. Since he has already made his way here, naturally he can’t leave empty-handed.
Although he can’t fly with a second-level wind ability, it can make his hands and feet much lighter. Those people seemed to be sure that there would be no outsiders nearby, so they didn’t close the gate of warehouse no. 3 at all.
He Zizhong ran in quickly, confirming that they did not leave anyone behind to look after the warehouse, and then quickly ran to the yard filled with containers.
The doors of most containers were opened. One sweep of the flashlight revealed many colorful packages, and nothing could be discerned quickly.
“Boom, boom, boom” heavy sounds rang out on the street outside. He Zizhong’s heart suddenly tightened, waving his hand as he collected a few containers randomly, before he turned his head to look outside the courtyard wall.
A huge black shadow, the side of a small dirt hill, was slowly moving in his direction. What is that?!
The feeling of scalp exploding welled up. Taking a deep breath, He Zizhong slowly stepped back a bit, taking in two more containers. He was a little dizzy from overusing his abilities and mental overdraft.
The flashlight in his hand shone on the “face” of the huge figure as it approached the warehouse courtyard wall. The eye-catching scene made He Zizhong inhale a lungful!
The thing was originally tracking the scent of humans, but when the light hit its face, it roared, raising both arms and slapped the courtyard wall, and rushed in!
And He Zizhong’s figure instantly disappeared in place and entered the space…
The last scene captured by the flashlight made He Zizhong unable to recover even after he entered the space for a while. What kind of face was that? The body is much larger than the average person, and that head which is several times larger, was actually made up of several people’s faces!
Although He Zizhong didn’t see what the monster looked like, he still wanted to know. That face was already made up of several faces, what could its body possibly look like?!
What kind of monster was this? Why had he not heard of it in his past life? Of course, most people who met such a thing likely died… right? How would you be able to “hear”.
After calming down slightly, He Zizhong walked down to the basement floor, ready to examine tonight’s harvest.
The modified bullet-proof vehicles floating in mid-air felt extremely oppressive. In addition to these cars, when He Zizhong left the garage, he also threw in the hummer he had driven before—this car is actually quite sturdy, and after driving for so long, there is still room in the space. They can just keep it as a souvenir.
In addition, there are six huge containers “floating” on the uppermost level of the underground space…
Rotating the positions of the containers, he moved them in front of him in sequence, opening them up. When he went to the warehouse earlier, there were some scattered garbage bags thrown on the ground. Things that were readily available everywhere were seen. Korean biscuits, American coffee, Belgian chocolate, Japanese instant noodles, and Taiwanese dried fish. Some are in bulk and some are original.
These things can be found in various supermarkets before the apocalypse, and the prices have always been high, discouraging many ordinary people. After checking, he found most of them were nearing the expiration date, but there were so many… Most of them can be exchanged with crystal nuclei, and the rest will be left for Fang Hao as snacks.
Picking up a bag of dried pasta, He Zizhong smiled. With one more ingredient, Fang Hao can continue showing his culinary expertise.
With a “puff”, Tuanzi suddenly appeared next to him, seeming a little confused why He Zizhong was in the space again. It tilted its body, floating around him.
“Go, let’s go back to mama.” He Zizhong hugged Tuanzi and let it take him back to Fang Hao’s side…
“Done?” Hearing movement, Fang Hao quickly got up and looked back. One whitish, soft ball hit his arms.
“Well, I collected eleven, all of them are bullet-proof vehicles. When I was in the garage, I saw some people who were previously blocked in warehouse no. 3. They saw the guns in our hands during the day and didn’t dare to come out.” He Zizhong exchanged car keys in his hand and walked to the driving compartment in front.
“Those people didn’t bother you, right?” Fang Hao asked, examining him with his eyes studiously, as if he was afraid he had even the barest scratch on his body.
“No, they didn’t see me. I hid away. Then I went over the wall and went to warehouse no. 3…” He Zizhong paused and explained his experience.
When He Zizhong talked about the weird monster he encountered, Fang Hao’s scalp was numb, and his eyes stared at him: “…Don’t take this risk in the future, who knows what weird things there are?”
He Zizhong smiled, drew him close in his arms, and gently patted him on the back. “I know, I was curious about what it was, so I deliberately waited for it to walk over and see what it looked like.”
After ensuring there was nothing wrong, Fang Hao hurriedly handed over the dinner he prepared before, and the two ate steamed buns with warm eight-treasure porridge.
That night, the two took turns on watch from two to four in the morning. Occasionally, a few zombies smelled people and were put down by the night watchman, perishing at least ten meters away from the convoy.
The two chatted in a low voice during the night. After harvesting things, when He Zizhong entered the space, he confirmed that the fog in the space was heavier, and whispered in Fang Hao’s ears about this matter: “I think the first and second-level energy difference is not small. At least about ten times difference.”
“So if we want to upgrade the space, we’ll have to rely on the secondary crystal nuclei now?”
“Not only second-level crystal nuclei. After the space upgrades again, I’m afraid the role of first-level nuclei will be even less. At that time, the third-level crystal nuclei will be needed to continue upgrading. Even the energy from second-level cores may not be enough.”
“Third-level… nuclei…” Fang Hao frowned. “Third-level zombies may be even more terrifying… Do you think the one you met today is…”
“It’s still unclear, after all, I didn’t fight it. Let’s not worry about this matter now. My meaning is that since first-level crystal nucleus is not very useful now, we don’t need to use the first-level crystal nucleus to upgrade the space. This thing may increase in value in the future, and it may even be like in one of those novels and take the place of currency. In the future, when we get first-level nuclei, if conditions permit, let’s keep it outside or in the villa. Otherwise, even if these first-level crystal nuclei are taken into space, they will be only a drop in the bucket.”
“Okay. Anyways, even if we don’t collect second-grade nuclei, Tuanzi will collect it.” As he spoke, Fang Hao patted the backpack in his arms. The dumpling inside twisted twice and found a comfortable position to continue leaning against Fang Hao’s arms.
I want a pet like Tuanzi. No cleaning hassle, feeds itself, and no poop!
