Five people joined, including two young men.
The cleanup work at the resort has been completed much faster.
On August 27th, the sky was somewhat overcast.
After the initial inventory of supplies at the resort was completed, Jiang Wu and Bai Feiming went to the basement together.
Looking at the mountain of supplies, Jiang Wu felt extremely satisfied.
Wang Xi, the nanny and supplies statistician, was reporting from the side with a notebook in hand: "Staple food: more than 4,500 catties of rice, 530 catties of soybeans, and 120 catties of mung beans."
"Meat products: 130 jin of mutated hen smoked meat, 1200 jin of cured and smoked meat, 80 jin of sausage, 230 jin of cured beef, 380 jin of cured fish, 420 jin of cured chicken and duck, 330 jin of eggs, 80 jin of salted duck eggs, 243 preserved eggs, and some miscellaneous items totaling more than 80 jin."
"In addition, there were more than 400 kilograms of various cooking oils."
"Vegetables: over 300 jin of sweet potatoes, over 400 jin of potatoes, 240 jin of old pumpkins, and 260 jin of winter melons. In addition, Master Sun can continuously hydroponically grow garlic sprouts and bean sprouts."
"Snacks: 900 packs of instant noodles, over 400 kilograms of various candies, over 300 kilograms of various nuts, and peanuts and melon seeds are also included."
"Beverages: more than 800 bottles of various beers, more than 100 bottles of baijiu (Chinese liquor), more than 300 bottles of foreign spirits, and more than 2,000 bottles of various beverages."
When Wang Xi mentioned alcohol, Jiang Wu unconsciously glanced in the direction of the wine cellar.
The wine inside is not included in this price.
When Wang Xi continued reporting on things like clothes and quilts, Jiang Wu quickly stopped him, saying, "Alright, I think I know. Tell me what we're mainly lacking right now? Didn't I tell you to call a meeting with Fatty Sun and the bookworm to discuss the supplies we need?"
Wang Xi flipped through his notebook and continued his report: "Food is not in short supply for the time being, but we are mainly lacking various tools, such as shovels, spades, steel bars, and wire. Wu Ming suggested that we build some trenches and traps along the edge of the wall, in addition to what we have now."
Jiang Wu laughed and said, "Wu Ming is indeed cautious."
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Wu turned to Bai Feiming and asked, "Feifei, do you know if there are any tool or hardware stores around here?"
Bai Feiming pondered for a moment and said, "There should be one in town, about 15 kilometers away from here."
How many people live in the town?
"I'm not sure, but there should be several thousand people."
Jiang Wu swallowed hard and said to Wang Xi, "Continue. Is there anything else we need?"
Wang Xi said, "The bookworm said that there is a lack of network cables and cameras. If we had those two things, he could install cameras around the entire perimeter of the villa to monitor the surrounding area. He is currently using the cameras and network cables he found in the villa to set up surveillance at the gate."
Jiang Wu's eyes lit up, and he asked Bai Feiming, "Feifei, do they sell internet cables and webcams in town?"
Bai Feiming nodded and said, "Definitely."
Jiang Wu said with a smile, "It seems we really need to go and see this town. Feifei, can you draw the location of that town on a piece of paper for me?"
Bai Feiming said, "I'll go with you."
Jiang Wu shook his head: "I'll go check the situation first. If it's feasible, we'll bring the truck over. If not, we'll think of another way. Besides, the manor still needs an evolved being to oversee things from time to time."
Bai Feiming could only nod and go to the side to draw a simple map.
Jiang Wu then asked Wang Xi, "Is there anything else we need?"
Wang Xi glanced at her notes and said somewhat awkwardly, "Sister Li and the others said it would be great if we had sanitary napkins..."
Jiang Wu was stunned, then suddenly remembered something else—a protective umbrella.
Given his current consumption of at least six a day, what will happen in a while?
We can't let Bai Feiming get pregnant.
This is the apocalypse; it's too dangerous for a woman to be pregnant.
So, there's another reason to go to town.
After discussing the route to the town with Bai Feiming, Jiang Wu made preparations and set off immediately.
It's still the same set of equipment.
To be honest, the owner of such a large villa is quite shabby.
But Jiang Wu had no choice.
In peacetime, who would wield knives and guns? You can't even find any weapons if you want to.
15 kilometers is neither far nor near.
Jiang Wu, who can't drive, could only ride a mountain bike he found in the resort, pedaling furiously all the way.
The journey was not smooth, with hordes of zombies roaming the roads from time to time.
Jiang Wu could only ride for a short distance before getting off to kill all the zombies blocking his way, and then continue riding.
This greatly slowed down Jiang Wu's speed.
This road condition also weighed heavily on Jiang Wu's mind.
These zombies posed no threat to him, but they were a nightmare for ordinary people.
Ordinary survivors may truly only be able to struggle in this apocalypse, like rats in a sewer.
It was an hour and a half later when we arrived near the town.
About 80 meters from the town, Jiang Wu locked his bicycle on the roadside.
Further ahead, it's impossible to ride a bicycle.
On the road about ten meters wide ahead, vehicles were parked haphazardly, and zombies wandered among them like ghosts.
This situation extends all the way to the towns along the highway.
At the entrance to the town, there stands a simple stone archway spanning the road, with three large gilded characters engraved on it: 【Peaceful Town】.
A large bus parked at an angle blocked the view under the archway, obstructing Jiang Wu's view of the town.
Before even reaching the town, there were already hundreds of zombies roaming the highway.
