the next day.
Lin Meijing got up early as usual to prepare breakfast, but this time it was much easier than usual.
Breakfast is simple: bread and milk. It only takes a little time to open the packaging.
Lin Mo was somewhat troubled by this scene.
Lin Meijing keenly noticed this, took a sip of milk, and said helplessly:
"We have no choice but to do this now that there's no electricity."
"I'll think of a way to find someone to help me and see if I can build a stove on the balcony."
If the internet connection is not interrupted.
You can search for relevant tutorial videos online and follow the instructions; you should be able to succeed.
What do we do now?
Lin Mo subconsciously thought of the movie "Boonie Bears" and wanted to find a solution from Bald Qiang.
Bald Qiang is extremely capable with his hands, so he should be able to handle the electricity problem, but I can't bring him here!
Oh, right.
Even if his internet is down, the Boonie Bears world isn't without internet access; he can go there to find tutorials!
and.
Regardless of whether the generator in the community is broken or not, he can have Bald Qiang buy a brand new generator.
Bald Qiang usually uses a chainsaw to cut down trees, but the power supply in the deep mountains and forests is often disrupted.
The last time I saw him, it seemed like he had several generators in his warehouse.
Speaking of generators.
He suddenly remembered something that appeared in the story; this thing was much more powerful than a regular fuel-guzzling generator.
and.
Especially suitable for use in the apocalypse!
If I can get one myself and place it in the community, I won't need to worry about it anymore.
Thinking about this...
Lin Mo finished the bread in two or three bites, then drank all the milk in one gulp, and called out to Lin Meijing:
"I'll go out and take a look first."
After saying that.
I rushed out the door.
I found a secluded spot and entered the world of Boonie Bears, then found Bald Qiang and started placing an order.
This time, he wasn't buying anything special; it's something you can easily buy online as long as you have the money.
I explained the requirements.
Lin Mo and Bald Qiang searched online together and quickly found a suitable product, and placed an order without hesitation.
It will arrive in three days.
Lin Mo returned to the apocalypse and found Zhu Wei and the others, giving them a special mission.
"You guys need to find a way to get me a few zombies. I don't need crystal cores, I need live zombies."
That's right.
He didn't want a piece of junk missing limbs; he wanted a living zombie that could run, jump, and shout.
I just said that.
The product I chose was particularly suitable for the apocalypse, and these living zombies were naturally meant to be used in conjunction with that product.
Zhu Wei and the others were somewhat puzzled upon hearing this.
However, none of them asked any further questions. After figuring out the details of the operation, they went together to make preparations.
Putting aside other things.
I want to complete this special task.
You should prepare things like burlap sacks, ropes, and blast-proof steel forks in advance.
exactly.
These things are available in the community's security office, so there's no need to spend time making them.
.........
The task has been assigned.
Since Lin Mo had nothing better to do, and it just so happened that it was the appointed time, he took Lin Muxue to collect protection money.
This girl insisted on going along to help.
The process went very smoothly.
The zombies outside have changed their habits; they no longer roam the streets during the day, but mostly gather inside buildings.
and.
Unlike before when they would frantically chase after anything they smelled, these zombies are now too lazy to move unless they make too much noise.
In addition, there is a shortage of water resources.
The residents of the community basically have to go out to scavenge every day, and even go to other areas away from the commercial street.
And another thing.
Although you can't usually find much food, you can get quite a lot of valuable items.
These things are unwanted even if you leave them on the ground.
so.
This time, Lin Mo easily collected the protection money, and some people even used the extra items to exchange for some drinking water from him.
It is worth mentioning that...
Lin Mo doubled the protection fee for his B building. After all, electricity would be available soon, so charging more rent wasn't unreasonable, right?
certainly.
This rent is not mandatory.
If the residents of Building B are unwilling to pay rent, they can move to another building; there are plenty of empty rooms in the complex anyway.
at last.
The residents of Building B all chose to move, and they didn't seem reluctant at all; in fact, they seemed quite relieved.
This is related to an incident that happened back then.
then.
When these people went to the commercial street to move food, they found two more corpses at the door when they returned on their first trip.
These two people...
It seems that Lin Mo kept her there because she didn't want to go out...
No one dared to mention this matter, but they all kept it in their hearts.
actually.
The residents of Building B have wanted to move out for a long time, but they haven't dared to make up their minds.
Lin Mo's decision this time just fulfilled their wishes.
...........
at the same time.
Entrance to Room 301, Building A.
"Old Zheng, wake up, get ready to go to work."
"Everyone's waiting for you, open the door now!"
"You're not hiding a woman at home, are you?"
Push open the door.
Zheng Guang looked at the few familiar faces at the door and reached out to touch his bald head.
"I'm going to rest today, you guys go ahead."
The middle-aged man in the lead couldn't help but ask:
"You're really not going?"
"Now that the water and electricity are cut off, the zombies are not active during the day, so why not take this opportunity to collect more water resources?"
A man next to him couldn't help but add:
"Although there are not many supplies left in the commercial street, we can mine crystal cores, which can be exchanged for a lot of drinking water."
Zheng Guang looked at the group and sighed helplessly.
"I'm so tired these past few days."
"I'll stay home for a day to rest and get myself ready, and then we'll go out together tomorrow."
Since things have come to this point...
The men at the door didn't try to persuade them any further; they picked up their weapons and turned to leave.
Watching the departing figures of the crowd.
Zheng Guang silently closed the door and returned to the living room, where he sat on the sofa and took a crumpled piece of paper out of his pocket.
Unfold the crumpled paper.
He stared at the crystal core in his hand, lost in thought, recalling the novels he had read before, his eyes filled with hesitation and struggle.
Slowly.
His gaze hardened, a ruthless look appearing on his face, and he threw the crystal core directly into his mouth.
He picked up the bottled water on the table and gulped down two mouthfuls, forcing himself to swallow the stuff.
Slowly.
He felt increasingly hot all over, his breathing became more and more rapid, and every inch of his skin felt like it was being pricked by needles.
The intense pain caused him to roll around on the ground, and his consciousness gradually became blurred.
He quickly lost consciousness completely.
Two and a half hours later.
A burst of maniacal laughter erupted from the cluttered room, so loud that it could be heard outside the neighborhood.
"Hahaha……"
"So that's how it is... So that's how it is..."
Zheng Guang excitedly licked his lips, feeling the surge of heat within his body, and subconsciously clenched his fist.
"I knew it..."
"The reason he had these people collect crystal cores was to enhance his own strength."
previously.
He was also wondering why the kid had a gun.
If you got the handgun through special channels, that's one thing, but why do you even have an AK? Some gangs aren't as powerful as you.
besides.
Why would someone collect gold and jewelry in the apocalypse, even at the cost of exchanging food for it?
After he swallowed the zombie crystal core, he understood everything.
The other party may have already discovered the secret of the crystal core and awakened some special ability to acquire weapons using valuable items.
I felt a surge of power within my body.
Zheng Guang felt a strong urge to go directly to that guy and settle the score!
original.
He harbored some resentment towards that kid, because he had exchanged all his savings for a loaf of bread, and that matter had always bothered him.
There is another reason.
He had a feeling that if he could obtain more crystal cores, his strength would become even greater!
exactly.
That kid had quite a few crystal cores, some of which he had mined himself!
Perhaps it was due to an inflated sense of power... or perhaps it was due to some kind of emotional provocation...
This has led to his current high level of hostility!
