The electric snowmobile moved silently, carrying Liu Kai like a white ghost through the city ruins.
They found a secluded corner, dumped Wang Deqiang's body there, and continued on their way to the jewelry store.
This was, in fact, his first time "traveling far" in a frozen world.
In my previous life, I always stayed at home.
Even if the authorities announce a recruitment notice for shelters.
However, due to its distance from the city center, few people have the means to reach it.
Looking at the white world, Liu Kai suddenly remembered an old movie called "The Day After Tomorrow".
The scene now is so similar to that in the movie.
silence.
Apart from the sound of the wind, there was not a sound at all; it was eerily silent!
The once bustling streets were deserted, with only ice shards whipped up by the gale swirling and dancing in the air.
The desolation even gives people a false sense of cleanliness and purity.
But cleanliness is only superficial; who knows how many human and animal remains are buried beneath the thick layer of ice?
The temperature was so cold that even the most resilient cockroaches could not survive.
As Liu Kai remarked, the snowmobile had already driven into the wide street with towering buildings on both sides.
We've arrived at the jewelry store.
Scan initiated!
No need for detailed scanning; simply maximize the sensory capabilities.
A diagram of a giant spherical structure with a radius of 300 meters appeared in Liu Kai's mind once again.
There are still more than two hundred survivors in this area, all concentrated in the buildings on both sides.
However, the electric snowmobile was very quiet, and Liu Kai's arrival went unnoticed.
His destination was a gold shop.
Sure enough, there were lots of gold jewelry and gold bars inside!
But there's also bad news.
The cold wave came too fiercely, turning rain into hail and then snow in the blink of an eye.
The staff did not have time to close the gold shop's doors when they fled.
This resulted in half of the 400-square-meter shop being submerged, and a large amount of gold jewelry being frozen in the ice.
Liu Kai didn't rush into the jewelry store. Instead, he looked at the buildings a few blocks away and sighed.
That's the headquarters building of the Fenghai branch of China Construction Bank, and there's a vault downstairs.
I had heard before that the seemingly impregnable vault contained 5 tons of gold bars.
Unfortunately, they were all beings he could not have.
In the previous life, six months after a cold snap, the official news was released:
On the very day the cold wave hit, the armed police force braved the blizzard to move the gold.
If even a small gold vault in Fenghai City is like this, then the Federal Reserve's gold vault, which is rumored to store more than 7,000 tons of gold, is even less likely to be so.
Let's get back to work and stop daydreaming!
After storing the snowmobile, we entered the building from the shops on the 3rd floor, following the route we had just scanned.
After a winding and circuitous journey, we finally arrived at the closed back door of the jewelry store.
Teleport into the arena.
I headed straight for the small safe in the corner.
Since the small safe is not fixed to the wall or floor, it easily provides storage space.
It devoured all 60 small gold bars, each weighing 200 grams, inside without needing to unlock it.
Then they threw the empty safe out again.
This method of theft is extremely unreasonable.
Even if Conan, Sherlock Holmes, and Di Renjie were to come, they could only scratch their heads and worry helplessly.
After swallowing the gold bar, he then proceeded to sweep up all the gold and platinum jewelry he could get his hands on from the display case.
I am completely satisfied.
Liu Kai turned to look at the half-frozen jewelry cabinet and took out an entrenching tool to start tapping it.
However, they knocked for about ten minutes.
Even with his current strength, comparable to that of a Hercules, he only managed to clear half of the display case.
He put away his entrenching tool, pondered for a long time, and finally shook his head.
Slowly chiseling through the ice would take too much time; the jewelry sealed inside would only weigh a few pounds at most.
That's enough time to go on a shopping spree at another jewelry store.
After all, the frozen city was a huge treasure trove, waiting for Liu Kai to recklessly exploit it.
...
Just as Liu Kai returned to the shop on the 3rd floor and was about to leave, his keen hearing made him notice a conversation coming from the 4th floor!
The building where the gold shop is located has shops on the first to third floors, and residential apartments starting from the fourth floor.
There was no one on the 4th floor when the scan was performed.
If it was just survivors returning home making noise, Liu Kai wouldn't bother with it.
But the person spoke in extremely broken Chinese.
"There is an old Chinese saying: 'Those who understand the times are heroes.' Kang Sang's keeping his promise and rushing back from outside the province is enough to prove that you are the most loyal friend of the Great Japanese Empire."
Immediately afterwards, a slightly weathered middle-aged male voice came through.
“I, Kang Jun, am not a man who goes back on his word. I will do my best to complete any deal that has been agreed upon. Therefore, I also hope that Mr. Watanabe will keep his promise and send me out of the country safely.”
The conversation inside the room continued.
But Liu Kai was already losing his composure.
With a thought, he performed a precise scan, instantly covering the area of the apartment on the 4th floor.
There were six people inside, all wearing thick winter clothes.
A robust middle-aged man was lying on the floor, struggling to drag two suitcases from under the bed.
The box is very large, estimated to be 1.8m x 1.5m x 1.2m.
This person should be the one who calls himself "Kang Jun".
The other five people standing together were slightly shorter, and there was also a woman with a very good figure and facial features.
But all five of them were wearing bulletproof vests and helmets.
The short, stout man standing at the door was even wearing a makeshift hydraulic exoskeleton.
He carried a six-barreled M134 Gatling gun and two ammunition boxes that could hold 2,000 rounds of ammunition on his back.
The others were armed with Howa 20 assault rifles.
