Chapter 3 Picking up gold in the apocalypse



Zhou Qiang on modern Earth is just an ordinary company employee.

The most savings I had was no more than 30,000 yuan.

This was what he saved by living frugally.

In a society ruled by law, it is really difficult to get rich without any great opportunities.

But now it’s different. Everything in the apocalypse can belong to you as long as you have the ability.

In the last days, for those who have the ability, it is no exaggeration to say that there is gold everywhere.

Think about it, there are countless items in the city, from technological products to metals to property... everything you see is ownerless, how can it not drive people crazy?

This gold shop in front of you has ownerless items. As long as you can bypass these countless zombies, the gold jewelry, jade, etc. inside will all belong to you.

Who wouldn’t have their heart beating faster at this opportunity to get rich overnight?

The survivors wanted to plunder the city, but with their strength, entering the city would be tantamount to seeking death.

But Zhou Qiang is different. He can create zombies that are controlled and commanded by him.

With these obedient zombies, everything in this city is no different from Zhou Qiang's.

All Zhou Qiang has to do is pick up whatever he likes and make it his.

Excited Zhou Qiang controlled his zombie clone and strode towards the gold shop.

This street should be one of the busier streets in the area. There are a lot of zombies, but it does not hinder Zhou Qiang's pace. He walks past the zombies and kills one or two to earn manufacturing points.

When we arrived at the gold shop, the huge glass door was shattered into pieces on the ground.

The floor inside, which was originally as smooth as a mirror, was now covered with stains.

There were several long bloodstains, and even after they dried, they were still shocking to look at.

When the end of the world came, there must have been a tragic battle between humans and zombies here.

In three years, the zombies that were transformed from shop assistants have long gone somewhere unknown. The few zombies here are dressed as ordinary citizens and must have accidentally entered here from the streets outside.

Zhou Qiang controlled the zombie clone and walked in holding an alloy knife, without attracting the attention of the zombies inside.

They were still wandering around the counters aimlessly.

The counters in the gold shop were damaged everywhere.

Most of the gold jewelry inside was missing, and it was not difficult to guess what had happened from the mess.

“When the end of the world comes, gold shops will probably be the target of most people.”

Disasters are often accompanied by man-made disasters.

When the survivors face the collapse of order, there will always be some extremely greedy survivors who risk their lives to rob gold shops.

Fortunately, they only took away a part of it in a hurry.

There are some scattered gold jewelry on the floor here, which shows how panicked they were when they left.

"Anyone with a bit of common sense knows that in the end times, food comes first. They don't prioritize food, but gold. Can this be eaten?"

Zhou Qiang started complaining.

In his eyes, all of this originally belonged to him, but in the end, these greedy and ignorant guys took away most of it.

Oh, these fools will surely find that even gold cannot buy food.

The gold they risked their lives to grab was just a pile of useless metal.

"puff!"

Another sharp blow of the knife chopped off the head of a zombie.

Zombies can exert 100% of their strength, but humans are different. Ordinary people can only exert 60% of their strength. Only those who have been trained can exert the maximum 90% of their strength.

The amount of strength is limited by muscle tissue.

But zombies don't have this limitation, they use all their strength in every attack.

Zhou Qiang spent two or three minutes cleaning up the few zombies wandering around.

Next, it was Zhou Qiang’s most tense part.

A bag was found in the jewelry shop. Under Zhou Qiang's control, the zombie clone put all the gold jewelry scattered here and on the counter, various jade jewelry, including diamond necklaces, rings, etc., into the bag.

For some reason, Zhou Qiang felt extremely refreshed.

The jewelry that was once out of his reach, such as jade bracelets worth tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars, were now picked up as rubbish.

All of these became his personal belongings and his wealth.

The good thing about controlling zombies is that you don’t have to worry about the zombies wandering around here, and you can calmly pick up every valuable piece of jewelry here.

After searching the entire gold shop, he filled half a bag.

"It's a pity that someone got there first. Otherwise, this gold shop would have millions of jewelry of all kinds."

Zhou Qiang smiled bitterly and shook his head.

My own gains were probably only a few hundred thousand, which wasn’t much.

After looting the gold shop, Zhou Qiang controlled the zombie uncle to carry the bag and leave the gold shop.

Next target.

This time, Zhou Qiang couldn't just make a little money and come back.

Generally speaking, where there is a gold shop, there is not just one, but several.

Sure enough, a Longguo Gold store suddenly came into view several shops away.

Zhou Qiang was delighted.

Controlling the zombie clone, he walked into the Dragon Kingdom Gold.

Similar to Zhou Fufu Gold Shop, this place has also been frequented by people.

But the pattern at Longguo Gold is much larger, with dozens of counters some broken and others intact.

A large amount of gold and jade jewelry is still on the counter.

“Bang!”

Under Zhou Qiang's control, the zombie clone raised the alloy knife in its hand and smashed the glass of one of the counters. Then its hand ignored the glass shards and grabbed all the gold jewelry inside into the bag.

Some broken glass pierced its hands, but Zhou Qiang didn't feel any pain.

The strange noise here attracted the attention of some zombies nearby.

The zombies that were attracted moved closer to the zombie clone.

But it did not affect Zhou Qiang. He treated these zombies as nothing and calmly put all the valuable items he saw into his bag among them.

The zombies that were attracted had no new sound stimulation and gradually returned to their wandering state.

More than half an hour later, Zhou Qiang was satisfied and controlled the zombie uncle to leave here.

A bag full of gold, diamonds, jade jewelry, worth at least a million.

"I've made a fortune."

In this last days, gold is truly everywhere.

With controllable zombies, they can enter and exit the city as if they were in an empty city.

Zhou Qiang was no longer greedy. His top priority was to control the zombie clone to return safely.

The city is full of wandering zombies.

Occasionally, you can see powerful zombies that stand out from the crowd. They are four or five meters tall, and ordinary zombies can only reach their thighs. They are completely giant zombies, and we don’t know what kind or name they are yet.

But what is certain is that they are very strong.

On the way back, Zhou Qiang saw with his own eyes a giant zombie overturning a bus and flattening a private car with one punch.

The virus has modified their genes, and these are the mutated zombies among the zombies.

Zhou Qiang discovered one thing: the closer to the city center, or the more densely populated the zombies are, the higher the probability of mutant zombies appearing, and even the higher their level.

With this discovery, Zhou Qiang didn't dare to try to go deeper into the Tianwei City.

At least it’s not easy to try at the moment.

After exchanging the gold for money and creating a batch of zombies without worrying about losses, we can explore further.

Zhou Qiang also didn’t know whether these powerful mutated zombies could distinguish the zombies created by the zombie manufacturing system.

More than two hours later, as it was getting dark, the zombie clone finally returned safely to the residential building where Zhou Qiang was.

After letting the zombie clone put down the bag and then guard the door, Zhou Qiang couldn't wait to open the bag. Looking at the golden jewelry, diamond rings, and a large number of jade stones, he felt suffocated with excitement.

“Oh yeah!”

Zhou Qiang was so happy that he almost danced.
