The Otaku squad’s outing was an absolute success with various flags.h.i.+p stores selling a variety of digital products near their area . Almost all the apocalypse survivors had no interest in these things . After the end, they grabbed food, water, clothes and so on . After the base was settled, they had solar panels that could provide electricity, the few people at the top could enjoy these things .
Other than some shops that were destroyed by zombies and other damage, Luo Xun and the others would have a rich harvest after finding remaining warehouses .
Li Tie’s group had a tech filled home before the end, so this destination was very familiar . They would often come to this neighborhood . On one hand it was related to their hobbies, on the other many graduates from their school worked as programmers in the nearby office building . They had spoken with alumni and got a goal and direction .
The result of the harvest was that Yan Fei added a car to the trucks loaded with all their things before hitting the road back home .
Luo Xun chatted with Yan Fei in a good mood . “We won’t have to come out and find these sorts of things for the next few years! But we need to think of something for furniture, otherwise you’ll have to make them . And stuffing used in things like pillows would be somewhat difficult . ”
Yan Fei had no opinion, he just smiled and adjusted the baby’s posture . “I just rose to level five so I can rely on the ability to find more materials . For furniture…” He mused, “Didn’t Li Tie mark a few places where they might be supplies? There must be a furniture store marked near our base . ”
“There are . ” Luo Xun nodded . “There are several but don’t forget that a large area was bombed at the start of the apocalypse? Some furniture malls were in that area . There is the possibility of encountering a large number of zombies…” But it is better in the southern part of the city . Far fewer people head south searching for supplies compared to north and east . ”
This point was from their previous trips . Their new base is located further south than the other base . In order to find metal, wood and other things they came out many times but rarely encountered any base teams .
Advertis.e.m.e.ntBut this time on the way north, they saw some vehicles almost everyday . Even yesterday when they were collecting things from the electronics mall, they aw a convoy of cars rush past . These two days they found some other shops but without exception all were empty, the only thing left were these electronics that could not be eaten .
“Well, we can look south, aren’t there any other cities? The roads seem to be in good condition according to the satellite . The baby grabbed Yan Fei’s finger and started to suckle, he seemed hungry .
“If it’s not safe, I can use metal . ” He wanted to practice with his powers anyway .
Furniture matters were temporarily put aside, there was enough at home for the time being . They wanted to collect this kind of thing to improve the quality of life, but it was not absolutely required . So once the place was picked, they moved forward .
It took two days to find enough supplies to fill up all the s.p.a.ce in the car . In the evening Luo Xun’s team was ready to find a resting place but instead found a team parked on the roadside cooking on a fire .
“Leader, there’s a team in front, what should we do?” They had spent the previous night and there were no zombies in the area . This time they wanted to spend another night but did not expect a team .
Luo Xun raised his telescope, “Don’t worry about them . Let’s overnight at this intersection and have watch rotations at night . ”
During the apocalypse, people who went out on missions avoided each other for two reasons – fear of being robbed and grudges . But they also hoped that if there was a sudden attack, the zombies would attack the other team first, giving a chance to get away .
So while they needed to be more cautious, they did not have much to be concerned about .
Sure enough, seeing that Luo Xun were camping a distance away, the other team did not send people to investigate the situation . But with a quick check, seeing that Luo Xun’s group seemed to be large, they breathed a sigh of relief .
Luo Xun got off the var and did not directly find a roadside house, but instead had Yan Fei make a small metal house under the cover of their vehicles .
Because the other team was not far away, they deliberately set observation windows and two hour s.h.i.+fts . The team would have their weapons nearby in case of any accident .
At two in the morning, the two women woke up Luo Xun and Yan Fei for their s.h.i.+ft . The former closed their eyes and fell asleep not long after snuggling under the covers .
Luo Xun held back his yawn and looked outside . From the gap they could see the other side had people around the fire on watch . From time to time they would turn towards their group, apparently worried that the other would take action at night .
“It should be all right . ” Luo Xun kneaded his eyes and washed his face with water to reinvigorate himself .
“They can’t see the situation here and I have set up a detection net . ” Yan Fei patted Luo Xun on the shoulder and whispered, “You can sleep longer . ”
Luo Xun shook his head, “No, the watch is only two hours and then we can go to bed . ”
Yan Fei used a similar net mesh as he had done of the southwest base roof . But now that his level increased, the metal mesh was thinner than hair . More amazing was that the surface would not be reflected .
Their campsite was covered with objects within a ten meter radius . The metal mesh was erected on the periphery and surrounded their location .
In this way, no matter what approached Yan Fei would find the problem straight away .
This method was something he was going to add to their secret entrance . That way if someone approached, he would spot them .
Thinking of that, Yan Fei realized he had nodded off and turned to look at the trucks . There were so many cameras but these could only judge the surface situation .
The two men whispered from time to time, looking at the outside . There were people walking around the other fire, as if changing s.h.i.+fts .
Luo Xun confirmed that the new people did not notice them . He whispered to Yan Fei about how they should arrange their rooms at home . Suddenly there was a flash .
At first, he thought it was someone with a flashlight but after there was a faint sound . “It’s going to rain?”
Right? Summer is coming, are thunderstorms not normal?
This year since the beginning of spring, there were only a few scattered instances of rain but nothing heavy, Now with this thunder and lightning, there was the feeling of summer .
“It’s raining…fortunately we’ve finished packing things . ” Luo Xun smiled at Yan Fei . “Those shopping malls are not too damaged other than the gla.s.s . We might find many good things . ”
A lot of things they got back this time were found in the bas.e.m.e.nt and other places . In case of water damage, who knows what things they would find later .
Yan Fei immediately raised his hand and sealed the roof – the solar panels were mounted on top of their car .
As for the panels at home? Luo Xun cleverly put the panels inside gla.s.s with a layer of metal on the outside so heavy rainfall was not a problem .
