Chapter 202 The Poor Kid in the Apocalypse 32

The abandoned villa was not actually dilapidated; everything was preserved as it was before the apocalypse. The furniture was all very expensive, items that the group of people would not have easily bought in the past.

Chen Dalong felt very comfortable and enjoyed living here.

But this perfectly good villa is now filled with smoke.

The living room was crowded with about twenty thin, pale-faced people, even though it was a villa.

All twenty-odd people's eyes were focused on Chen Dalong, who was standing in front of a broken table, pointing at the drawings on the table with his remaining finger. The drawings were made of charcoal and were very rough, but Chen Dalong looked very spirited.

"Listen up, everyone! This is our next target! That villa in the suburbs is our future livelihood!"

Chen Dalong's voice was terribly hoarse, yet his tone carried a provocative undertone.

"Brother Long, brothers, Brother Qiang and I have been keeping an eye on that place for more than just a day or two!" Wang Bin said eagerly, gesturing on the blueprint with his fingers.

"Although I've never been inside, the villa layouts are all pretty much the same! Three stories above ground, with a large yard, and the main gate faces south and is the thickest!"

Zhang Qiang thought for a moment. He had already said it, so he couldn't fall behind. This Brother Long didn't look like a good person at all. If he couldn't say something, he might be used as an example to warn others.

"Yes! The key is inside! That woman and her child can stay inside for more than half a year without going out, and they still live so comfortably. Just think about how much stock they have?"

Rice, flour, and cooking oil piled up like mountains wouldn't be unusual! We saw that woman drinking red wine with our own eyes! Genuine red wine!

Chen Dalong looked at his men's eager and greedy expressions with satisfaction and pressed for an answer.

"Besides food and drink, what else is there? What about supplies? Weapons?"

Little did he know, he'd never even stepped through the gate. But Zhang Qiang's eyes darted around, and he started spouting nonsense.

"She must have weapons! That woman is so skilled with a bow and arrow, she must have some at home."

I reckon it could even be a gun! I saw them carrying something that looked like a gun in their pockets when they went out before!

His words were pure nonsense, but when he said them now, they greatly stimulated the greed of the others. Since no one had ever seen it, the more valuable his words were, the more they could incite them.

Even if we can't find it later, we can say it's hidden.

Wang Bin nodded and continued to add to the discussion.

"Using it? There must be a generator, otherwise where would the electricity come from?"

I bet there are still unopened new clothes, medicine, and maybe... hehe, even some high-end women's cosmetics inside!

As he spoke, he revealed a lewd smile, which caused several men to burst into laughter. Only useless people would try to make their brains feel good through fantasy.

Chen Dalong was overjoyed, as if the spoils were already laid out before him. With a wave of his hand, he began to distribute the remaining spoils.

"Good! Once we take that place, Zhang Qiang and Wang Bin, who led the way and brought the news, will be credited with the greatest merit! You'll each get a box of instant noodles as a reward."

Pick any flavor you like!

That's so generous! You can even choose any flavor you like!

He then pointed to several other minor leaders.

"Scarface, you used to lead the brothers and do a lot of work, so you get to pick the weapons first! Old Nian, haven't you always wanted some good cigarettes and alcohol? There's bound to be some in here!"

He called out names one by one, painted a rosy picture for his subordinates, and described what they wanted most. The atmosphere in the living room immediately relaxed, and everyone's face showed excitement and greed.

They can already imagine how they'll enjoy it; Chen Dalong's move is like trying to quench thirst by looking at plums.

"Brother Long, but what about the power grid?"

Some people calmed down a bit and raised concerns.

Chen Dalong spat out a disdainful spit.

"What are you afraid of! With so many of us, can't we find someone who knows how to turn off the power?"

Third brother, didn't you used to be an electrician? Find a way to cut off the power! Without the power, that broken door won't be able to stop us, will it?

The man referred to as the third brother pointed to himself in surprise. "Him?"

He only fixed the neighbor's electrical wires, how could he do such a big thing?

Chen Dalong was bursting with confidence, completely unaware that the villa's true sturdiness lay not only in its three floors above ground, but also in its three underground floors!

In his mind, as long as there are enough people, there is no place that cannot be conquered; if there is, it means there are not enough people.

the next day.

A suburban villa with an underground monitoring room.

Shen Ci pointed at the increasing number of small black dots on the screen and said to Da Bao.

"Dabao, look, someone's here. They're here faster than we expected, and there are quite a few of them."

On the screen, Chen Dalong's evil face was clearly visible, along with Zhang Qiang and Wang Bin bowing and scraping beside him.

"Mom, it's Uncle, and the two people who ran away that day."

Da Bao's face was tense, but there was no panic in his eyes, only focus.

"Yes, they must have sold our location. It seems your uncle is determined to cause trouble."

She knew that these two people might go looking for help after escaping, but she never expected that they would actually find Chen Dalong. What a small world!

Wherever I go, I meet familiar faces.

She switched to a different angle of the surveillance footage and continued telling her son.

"Look, there are about twenty-three of them."

The people in front are carrying crowbars and axes; they intend to force their way in.

The men behind us, armed with sticks and homemade spears, posed a relatively smaller threat. They lacked professional climbing equipment, which was an advantage for our defense.

She paused, then looked at her son.

"Da Bao, this is the situation. If you were in charge of the defense, what do you think we should do now?"

Shen Dabao stared at the screen, his little brows furrowed, his big eyes watery. He was such an adorable baby. He didn't answer immediately, but kept looking at the figures and then at the empty mountains and fields surrounding the villa.

After a while, he suddenly raised his head, his eyes sparkling, and expressed his thoughts.

"Mom, why should we hit them ourselves?"

"Hmm?" Shen Ci looked at him encouragingly, somewhat surprised.

"Tell me your thoughts."

“We can ask for help!” Da Bao pointed to the blurry outline of the city in the distance on the surveillance screen, where some details could be made out.

My uncle and his family came from the city, which is so far away. They must have driven here. The car was so loud that it must have attracted a lot of zombies along the way.

The zombies we're studying now have more sensitive hearing and run faster, don't they?

If we start banging drums and gongs on the rooftop right now, or play music through loudspeakers and make a huge commotion, wouldn't the zombies that were attracted to the car nearby be drawn to our doorstep by the louder noise?

Then the zombies will fight with my uncle and his family!

If my uncle and his family win, then they'll have helped us clear out the zombies and contributed to society. If they can't win, then we won't have to lift a finger.

Moreover, as long as we keep making noise, the zombies in the city will be continuously drawn in, and we can exhaust them by taking them on in waves!
