It took four days to arrive at the place Qinghua mentioned. It could have been reached in two days, but because we couldn't take the expressway or the main road, we had to go around all the time, so it took five days.
Fortunately, we found two cars on the road with half of their gasoline left. The cars were abandoned in the woods, so no one found them. If they hadn't taken a detour, Tang Shuxing wouldn't have met them.
During these four days, Tang Shuxing didn't see a single person. In addition, in autumn, there were fallen leaves everywhere, giving people a scene after the end of the world. It may be said that it is actually the end of the world now. The end of the world is man-made, and it is not the end of nature.
punishment.
In the farms passing by, the harvested crops were all left where they were, and the livestock had long since disappeared. They must have been taken away by government officials, but the crops were not harvested. I don’t know why. If the farms stop operating, what will the entire United States eat this winter?
I don’t know how the government forces considered this. It seems that they want to starve to death and freeze everyone to death.
All the useful things in the houses in the farm were looted, and all that was left in the shops in the town were packaging bags, and stray cats and dogs that passed by from time to time. Not a single person was seen, and not even a body was seen. The government troops could not clean it up.
It's also really clean.
Tang Shuxing couldn't help but think of that country in Southeast Asia. A few decades ago, the leaders of this country drove all the people in the cities to the countryside, massacring millions of people in a few years. But now in this country that once was
In free countries, the opposite thing happens again, driving people to live in big cities.
…
Tang Shuxing parked the car in the woods in the distance and looked at the supermarket chain next to the lake below. There was a huge sign with the English abbreviation of "skjj" hanging at the entrance of the market. He didn't know what the full name was. Outside
It was very neat, with the trucks parked neatly. There was only a little garbage on the ground, no traces of looting, and nothing left over from the war, and no bullet holes could be seen.
Maybe it was a trap. Tang Shuxing shook his head and said. He didn't dare to go down easily. He decided to wait until dark before going down to investigate carefully, but the trouble was. If there was really a lot of food inside, how could he transport it back? Could he drive the one below?
Truck? That is impossible. The target is too big. Even if you are driving at night, it will be discovered by a drone. A missile will come down and the vehicle will be destroyed and people will be killed.
Tang Shuxing looked around with a telescope, and after looking around, he finally found the light mountain off-road vehicle that had been chasing him so far. There was no one in the vehicle, only a piece of cardboard hanging on it. There was a line of words written on it with watercolor pen: "We
Looking at you", and there is a hand-drawn cartoon cat head under the right side.
Tang Shuxing thought he had made a mistake, and took a closer look. In the past few days, he had not found anyone following him. After all, the other party kept a relatively long distance from him.
"Who?" Tang Shuxing didn't understand. Since he was following him, why did he show up deliberately? Not to mention showing up, he also had to tell himself clearly that they were watching him. What did this group of people want to do?
Tonight is destined to be uneventful, Tang Shuxing thought.
After resting for a whole afternoon, he used the stove to boil a cup of coffee. After drinking it slowly, the sky also darkened. Tang Shuxing almost sat there and watched the sun set below the horizon on the other side of the lake before tidying up.
Things got up and just took away what needed to be taken away. At the same time, they left a note on the car door, which said - "These are my things. If you take them away, I will definitely take them back and let you
Regret, keep your word."
Immediately afterwards, Tang Shuxing slid from the slope to the back door of the supermarket below, looking for the entrance and sneaking in.
After Tang Shuxing walked away, the woman slowly walked out from a distance, took off her goggles, looked at the note, smiled, and handed it to the man next to her. The man passed it to the person behind him after reading it.
The man just rubbed it, wiped his nose and threw it on the ground, and then started to pack Tang Shuxing's things.
"Don't touch his things." The woman turned around and said, "Don't move for now. He must have come to this place for a reason. Maybe there are good things down there, even better than his things."
"Something to eat, drink, and use." The man next to him smiled, "That's great."
Finally, the man said disdainfully: "Not necessarily, you have to remember that winter is coming soon, and the people outside have plundered all the things that should be plundered."
"Don't forget about Eske's bank." The woman smiled, "Someone hid food in the vault, and we found it by accident."
The man next to him smiled and said, "Yes, there was another time when we found five large boxes of cans in the smelly toilet on the farm."
The last man was still packing Tang Shuxing's things: "You are too optimistic, this guy is not a good guy."
"Neither are we." The woman said and smiled at him. The man had no choice but to put down his things and jog with the woman in the direction where Tang Shuxing went.
Tang Shuxing, who was already in the supermarket, looked at the empty shelves - there was nothing here, as if this supermarket had never been opened at all. There were not even goods on the shelves. Many of the shelves were brand new.
The plastic film used to protect it has not been removed, and only a light layer of dust has fallen on it.
Tang Shuxing turned to the office. Computers and other things were there, but they were all new, and the protective films on many items had not been removed. Tang Shuxing searched for a while and found several batteries, including those for laptops and mobile phones.
, and dry batteries, whether they are used or not, put them all away and return to the gathering place, these things may come in handy.
Where would that basement be? Tang Shuxing found the emergency evacuation map, searched it, and saw an underground parking garage below, so he walked down according to the map and came to the basement. Tang Shuxing subconsciously blew
I whistled because there were many cars parked below, including cars, trucks, off-road vehicles, large buses, and two large RVs.
"I got rich this time." Tang Shuxing sighed, with a sad face again. Unfortunately, Wei Lifeng and the others did not follow. If they had come, at least one of them would have driven one back, but now he is still more inclined to find the one in the army.
After all, a car is an armed vehicle. It has a reinforced body and chassis, is strong and durable, and has light armor. It can at least be resistant to grenades. But the cars here will be completely scrapped by a single shot from a light machine gun.
Tang Shuxing began to check the fuel tanks one by one and found that most of the car's fuel tanks were almost full. This was luck. He started to look for oil barrels according to the location of the warehouse. He also successfully found a few barrels. After opening them, the gasoline inside turned out to be
They are all full.
"God has eyes!" Tang Shuxing said with a smile. He smiled and then put away his smile. He felt something was wrong. Ordinary supermarkets don't sell gasoline, right? And even if the supermarket fleet uses gasoline, it won't be kept in the warehouse.
What? There is something wrong with this supermarket. It is the same as what Qinghua said. It is not quite right. There must be something else, but I have not found it.
Where is the basement? Tang Shuxing looked around. He searched the entire underground parking lot and found no other passages leading down, no stairs. Nothing.
Tang Shuxing walked aimlessly in the parking lot, looking for the basement with all his heart. He did not notice at all that there were three pairs of eyes staring at him in the dark.
Tang Shuxing once again walked against the wall, wondering if there might be any mechanism? Thinking of this made him feel very ridiculous. After all, this was not a relic, but a modern supermarket. There would be some kind of mechanism, even if there was one, it would be nothing.
It is driven by electricity. There is no electricity here now, so even if there is a mechanism, it cannot be opened by itself.
Yes, electricity. Thinking of this, Tang Shuxing immediately ran towards the electrical room. The door was locked tightly and tied with a thick iron chain. He didn't have the Dragon Lin Blade on him, so he had to hit it with the butt of his gun.
, in the end, I had no choice but to use a silenced pistol to break the lock, untie the chain, and push the door open.
After pushing it open, the motor room was also brand new, but in the innermost room, Tang Shuxing saw a huge backup generator, and it was a backup because there was another one outside, but the two together were not enough.
to provide power for the entire supermarket, but can provide emergency lighting, which is simply not necessary.
Tang Shuxing started the generator, which burned diesel and quickly began to operate. Immediately after the backup power was activated, Tang Shuxing immediately ran out. At this time, the three people lurking outside also hid in the back of the car to avoid being caught by the emergency lighting.
The light exposes the target.
Tang Shuxing stood in the garage and looked around, then climbed onto the top of a car and circled around again. Finally, he discovered that there was light coming from the gap in the door of the RV close to the right wall.
There was no light when the backup power was not enabled, but there was light when it was enabled. It was strange. Tang Shuxing raised his gun and looked around. Finally, on the side of the wall, he saw several cables sticking out of the wall, which were directly connected to
It's on the side of the car. If it's not close to the wall, it will never be found.
Sure enough, there was something strange. Tang Shuxing stepped forward and grabbed the door handle to open it, but could not turn it. When he looked closer at the car window, he discovered that the glass on the car window was not transparent, but a layer of light-transmitting silhouette stickers. This kind of stickers
As long as you don't look too close, no matter what angle you change, you can vaguely see the scene inside the car. In fact, it's not real, it's just something like light effect magic.
"This should be it." Tang Shuxing grabbed the door handle and pushed hard, trying to open the door with his own strength. Who knew that when he pulled hard, the car instantly emitted a blue light, and a strong electric current was transmitted to the door handle.
Tang Shuxing was directly ejected seven or eight meters away and hit the windshield of a car parked on the side, making a deep hole in the glass.
Tang Shuxing fainted, his buttocks and waist still stuck in the glass, his head hung down, and his hands still stretched forward.
The woman and two others slowly gathered around with guns and looked at Tang Shuxing who had fainted. Then the woman picked up a metal steel bar from the side and threw it at the door of the RV. When the steel bar touched the door, it was immediately struck by electricity.
Bounce.
The woman stared at the steel bar that was bounced away, but she smiled, looked at the other two people and said, "Sure enough, it's weird. Let's cut off the power first and slowly open the door. This time we will really make a fortune."
A man looked at Tang Shuxing and said, "What should he do?"
Another person said: "If you are fully exposed to high-voltage electricity, you will definitely die and you will not survive."
The woman also nodded slightly, thought again and again, then pointed to the iron chain at the door of the power room in the distance and said: "Just in case, it's better to tie his feet and don't move him."
"Understood!" A man nodded and stepped forward to get the chain.
