Chapter 48 (II) The Treasure Trove
Arrived at the location that Qinghua said, it was four days later, and it was supposed to be two days away, but because I couldn't take the highway, I couldn't take the main road, and it was all a detour, so it took five days, but fortunately, I found two cars on the road with half of the gasoline left. The car was abandoned in the woods, so no one could find it, and if it wasn't for the detour, Tang Shuxing wouldn't have been able to meet it.
In these four days, Tang Shuxing didn't see half a person, and the autumn was full of fallen leaves, giving people a scene after the apocalypse, maybe it was actually the end now, and the man-made end was not considered a punishment of nature.
In the farms passing by, the harvested crops were left in place, and the livestock were long gone, presumably taken away by the government, but the crops were not harvested, I don't know why. If farms stop functioning, what will the whole of America eat this winter? I don't know how the government army thinks about this, as if they are going to starve to death and freeze everyone to death.
The useful things in the houses in the farmstead were all looted, and the only things left in the shops in the town were packaging bags, and stray cats and dogs that passed by from time to time.
Tang Shuxing couldn't help but think of the country in Southeast Asia, where decades ago the country's leaders drove all the people in the cities to the countryside and slaughtered millions of people in a few years, and now in this once free country, the opposite thing has been staged, driving people to live in big cities.
……
Tang Shuxing parked the car in the woods in the distance, looking at the chain supermarket next to the lake below, there was a huge English abbreviation sign of "SK**" hanging at the entrance of the market, I don't know what the full name was, the outside was very tidy, the trucks were neatly parked, there was only a little garbage on the ground, there was no trace of looting, there was nothing left over from the war, and the bullet holes could not be seen.
Maybe it's a trap. Tang Shuxing shook his head and said, he didn't dare to go down easily, and decided to wait until it was dark before going down to investigate carefully, but the trouble was that if there was really a lot of food in it, how could he transport it back? Do you drive the kind of truck below? That's impossible, the target is too big, even if it is driving at night, it will be detected by a drone, a missile will come down, and the car will be destroyed and killed.
Tang Shuxing looked around with a telescope, looked around, and finally found the light mountain buggy that had been chasing him so far, the car was empty, only a piece of cardboard hung on it, on which was written with a line of words "We are watching you" written in watercolor pen, and a hand-drawn cartoon cat head on the right side.
Tang Shuxing thought that he had seen it wrong, and looked carefully, in the past few days, he had not found anyone following him, after all, the other party kept a relatively long distance from him.
"Who?" Tang Shuxing didn't understand, since he was tracking himself, why did he deliberately show up, he didn't say anything about showing up, he had to tell himself clearly that they were staring at him, what did this group of people want to do?
Tonight is destined to be unpeaceful, Tang Shuxing thought.
After resting for a whole afternoon, burning a cup of coffee on the stove, and drinking it slowly, the sky also darkened, and Tang Shuxing almost sat there watching the sun set below the horizon on the other side of the lake, and then he packed up his things and got up, just took the things that should be taken, and at the same time left a note clipped at the car door, which read- "These are my things, if I take them, I will definitely take them back, and make you regret it, do what you say." ”
Immediately after, Tang Shuxing slid from the top of the slope to the back door of the supermarket below, looking for the entrance to sneak in.
After Tang Shuxing walked away, the woman slowly walked out from a distance, took off her windproof goggles, looked at the note, smiled, and handed it to the man next to him, and the man passed it to the person behind him after reading it, and the man just rubbed it, wiped his nose and threw it on the ground, and then began to pack up Tang Shuxing's things.
"Don't touch his stuff." The woman turned her head and said, "Don't move for the time being, there must be a reason why he rushed to this place, maybe there are good things down there, even better than his things." ”
"Eat, drink, use." The man next to him laughed, "Great. ”
Finally, the man said disdainfully: "Not necessarily, you must know that it is almost winter, and the people outside have plundered everything that should be plundered." ”
"Don't forget the bank in Isker." The woman laughed, "Someone hid food in the vault, and we found it by mistake. ”
The man next to him laughed, "Yes, another time, we found five large boxes of canned food in the stinking toilet on the farm. ”
The last man was still packing up Tang Shu's things: "You guys are too optimistic, this kid is not a good thing." ”
"Neither are we." The woman said and smiled at him, and the man had to put down his things and jog away with the woman in the direction of the Tang Shu Torture Center.
Tang Shuxing, who was already in the supermarket, looked at the empty shelves - there was nothing here, just like this supermarket had never been open at all, not even the goods were put on the shelves, many of the shelves were brand new, and the plastic film used to protect them had not been torn off, and only a very light layer of dust had fallen on them.
Tang Shuxing turned to the office, computers and other things were there, but they were all new, and many things had not been removed from the protective film outside, Tang Shuxing searched for a while, and found a few batteries, including notebooks, mobile phones, and dry batteries, and they didn't matter if they were used or not, they were all loaded away, and they returned to the gathering place, these things might be useful.
Where will that basement be? Tang Shuxing found the emergency evacuation map, searched on it, and saw an underground parking garage below, so he walked down according to the map and came to the basement, Tang Shuxing subconsciously whistled, because there were many cars parked below, all kinds of vehicles, cars, trucks, off-road vehicles, large buses, and two large RVs.
"I got rich this time." Tang Shuxing sighed, and his face was full of sadness, it was a pity that Wei Lifeng and they didn't follow, if they came, at least one person drove back, but now he is still more inclined to find the army's car, after all, it is an armed vehicle, reinforced body and chassis, sturdy and durable, and light armor, at least it can protect against grenades, and the cars here, light machine guns have to be scrapped at a glance.
Tang Shuxing began to check the fuel tanks one by one, and found that most of the car fuel tanks were almost full, which was considered luck, he began to look for oil barrels according to the location of the warehouse, and also successfully found a few barrels, after opening them, the gasoline in them was actually full.
"God has eyes!" Tang Shuxing smiled, smiled and smiled He put away his smile again, he felt that something was wrong, ordinary supermarkets don't sell gasoline, right? And even if the supermarket fleet uses gasoline, it won't be in the warehouse? Something is wrong with this supermarket, it's the same as what Qinghua said, it's not quite right, there must be something else, I didn't find it.
Where is the basement? Tang Shuxing looked around, searched the entire underground parking lot, and didn't see any other passages leading to the bottom, no stairs, nothing.
Tang Shuxing walked aimlessly in the parking lot, bent on finding the basement, not noticing that there were three pairs of eyes staring at him in the dark.
Tang Shuxing walked against the wall again, thinking to himself if there should be any mechanism, right? Thinking of this, I think it's ridiculous, after all, this is not a relic, it's a modern supermarket, what kind of mechanism will there be, even if there is, it is also driven by electricity, and now there is no electricity here, even if there is a mechanism, it can't be opened.
That's right, electricity, Tang Shuxing thought of this, and immediately ran to the direction of the motor room, the door was locked tightly, and he was tied by a thick iron chain, he didn't have a dragon blade on his body, so he had to smash it with the butt of a gun, and in the end there was no way, so he had to use a silencer pistol to break the lock, untie the chain, and push the door open.
After pushing it away, the motor room was also brand new, but in the innermost room, Tang Shuxing saw a huge backup generator, and it was a backup, because there was another one outside, but these two combined were not enough to provide the power of the entire supermarket, but it could provide emergency lighting, which was not necessary at all.
Tang Shuxing started the generator, the generator burned diesel and soon started to operate, and then the backup power was activated, Tang Shuxing immediately ran out, and at this time, the three people lurking outside also hid in the back of the car to avoid being exposed by the emergency lights.
Tang Shuxing stood in the garage and looked around, then climbed onto the top of a sedan and looked around again, and finally found that in the RV next to the wall on the right, there was light coming from the gap in the door.
There is no light when the backup power is not enabled, but there is light when it is enabled, which is weird. Tang Shuxing carried a gun and looked around, and finally on the side of the wall, he saw that there were several cables sticking out of the wall, which were directly connected to the side of the car, and if it was not close to the wall, it would never have been found.
Sure enough, there is something weird, Tang Shuxing stepped forward and grabbed the doorknob to open, but he couldn't twist it, and when he looked at the car window closely, he found that the glass on the window was not transparent, but a layer of translucent silhouette stickers, this kind of sticker As long as you don't look closer, no matter what angle you change, you can vaguely see the scene in the car, in fact, it's not real, it's just a kind of thing like light magic.
"That's it." Tang Shuxing grabbed the doorknob, and tried to open the door with his own strength, who knew that as soon as he pulled and forced, the car instantly emitted blue light, and a strong current reached the doorknob, directly ejecting Tang Shuxing seven or eight meters away, smashing on the windshield of a car parked on the side, smashing the glass out of a deep pit.
Tang Shuxing fainted, his buttocks and waist were still sunk in the glass, his head hung down, and his hands were still stretched forward.
The woman slowly surrounded the other two people with guns, looking at Tang Shuxing who had fainted, and then the woman picked up a metal steel bar from the side and smashed it at the door of the RV, and the steel bar touched the door and was immediately bounced open by electricity.
The woman stared at the steel bar that was bounced open, but smiled, looked at the other two and said, "Sure enough, it's weird, let's cut off the power first, and slowly open the door, this time we are really rich." ”
A man looked at Tang Shu and said, "What should he do?" ”
Another person said: "If the high-voltage electricity is fully contacted, it will definitely be dead, and it will not be able to live." ”
The woman also nodded slightly, thought twice, and pointed to the iron chain at the door of the power room in the distance: "Just in case, tie his feet, and don't move." ”
"Understood!" A man nodded,
