Chapter 93: A Villa Abundant with Resources!
Chapter 93: A Villa Abundant with Resources!
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Hai and the other two split up and searched for supplies in other households deep in the village.
However, even when they separated, the three of them did not stray too far apart, with only a few houses between them. This way, if one of them encountered something strange, the other two could quickly come to their aid.
The house Zhao Hai arrived at was a villa, and an Audi Q5 was parked in front of it.
Zhao Hai came to this villa specifically for this purpose.
His car broke down, and as a Transcendent being, he couldn't possibly hitch a ride with other people every day.
So when he saw an Audi there, he went straight to that house.
This villa is considered quite grand in the village, with high walls and a tightly closed wrought iron gate, but the side gate is ajar. The yard is overgrown with weeds, but relatively tidy.
The Q5 was parked in the driveway in front of the villa's main gate. The tires were flat, indicating that the tires were not inflated enough. This was not a big problem; they could be inflated.
He gently pushed open the side door and slipped into the yard. He didn't immediately approach the vehicle, but instead quickly surveyed the main structure of the villa. Most of the first-floor windows were closed, the curtains drawn, obscuring the view inside. He walked around to the car and quickly checked it: the doors were locked, and through the dusty windows, he could see the keys weren't in the car. The interior was relatively clean, with no bloodstains or signs of struggle; there was even a child safety seat in the back.
Zhao Hai also turned his gaze to the villa door, a heavy solid wood door, which was also tightly closed. He tried turning the doorknob; it was locked.
The gate is a solid board made of a single piece of Burmese teak, rotary-cut and pressed, about ten centimeters thick. The surface is coated with some kind of wax oil, which still shines with a dark gold satin sheen in the gray haze.
It has to be said that villas of this size are rare even in ordinary rural areas, which shows that the owner of this villa was not short of money before the apocalypse.
Although the door was closed, Zhao Hai didn't find it troublesome. He simply condensed a dark green palm, almost as tall as himself, in his right hand and slammed it hard against the door.
"Thump—!!!"
A deep, muffled thud, like a heavy hammer striking a giant drum, suddenly exploded, sending dust swirling down from the porch.
A crisp cracking sound came from inside, the sound of the door lock's intricate mechanical structure being violently shattered and twisted by immense force. Immediately afterwards, spiderweb-like cracks suddenly appeared in the center of the heavy door panel, originating from the spot where the palm struck, and quickly spread across the entire door surface.
"Squeak—Boom!"
The door finally gave way and collapsed and burst open!
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Hai went directly into the villa.
Sunlight streamed through the tall floor-to-ceiling windows, casting dappled beams of light onto the dusty marble floor.
The entire first floor consists of a spacious living room, an open kitchen, a dining room, a lounge with a piano, and a storage room with a closed door.
Zhao Hai first went to the refrigerator in the kitchen, opened the double-door refrigerator, and a stench hit him. The rotten food inside had long since turned into puddles of black water.
Seeing this, Zhao Hai also looked disappointed.
Although the apocalypse has arrived and the refrigerator has no power supply and no longer has any preservation function, this family is still a wealthy family, so there should be plenty of good things in the refrigerator. If there are one or two things that are well preserved, they can improve their meals.
Unfortunately, this refrigerator looks quite luxurious, but it's not very practical.
Everything inside, which was perfectly preserved, is gone.
What left Zhao Hai speechless was that this family was so rich, yet they didn't have a bar cabinet. Maybe no one in this family drinks!
Otherwise, Zhao Hai could have collected some good wine from the bar cabinet.
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Hai also went to the kitchen.
The kitchen shelves were stocked with cases of bottled water, several large bags of unopened rice and flour, and even several packets of expensive imported coffee beans.
He stuffed the small packages, like coffee beans, into his bag, but left the larger items, such as cases of bottled water, untouched.
Those things couldn't fit in his bag, so he had to leave them there for now. He could either have the old man's little potato come and carry them later, or he could find the Audi's car keys and move them into the car himself.
Logically, there shouldn't be many supplies in the living room, but Zhao Hai still searched carefully and found a multi-functional military knife, several lighters, several unopened batteries, and a rechargeable high-powered flashlight.
He simply stuffed all these things into his backpack.
Next, Zhao Hai arrived at the storage room, which was practically a treasure trove.
Besides the piles of suitcases and old clothes, many useful items were neatly stacked on the shelves against the wall:
A box of spare engine oil and coolant, a complete car emergency kit, several rolls of rope of different sizes, a box of new nails and screws, several cans of paint, an unused camping sleeping bag, a portable gas stove, and several cans of gas.
What surprised Zhao Hai the most was that there was a sealed waterproof box in the corner. When he opened it, he found a diesel generator inside. It looked about 80% new. There were also two small barrels of diesel fuel and several extension cords next to it.
Putting everything else aside, Zhao Hai absolutely had to get his hands on this diesel generator! It's a really good thing!
"Hai Zi, why haven't you come out yet? Didn't you find the car keys in that villa?" At this moment, Wang Hu had finished searching the two households and asked Zhao Hai when he saw that he hadn't come out yet.
"Brother Tiger, you and Sister Wanyue come to my place first. There are a lot of good things in this villa, and I haven't finished collecting them yet!" Zhao Hai said.
"OK!"
Zhao Hai had just finished tidying up the things on the first floor when Wang Hu and Su Wanyue arrived.
"My goodness, so much good stuff!" Wang Hu exclaimed, looking at the car tool kit, diesel engine, and other items on the ground.
"Hmm! I've only just finished searching the first floor. I haven't even searched the bedrooms on the second and third floors of this villa yet!" Zhao Hai added.
"Not bad! Zhao Hai, these are all good stuff!" Although Su Wanyue didn't know much about these things, she knew they were all good stuff!
"Hehe! Let's stop talking nonsense and hurry up and search the bedrooms on the second and third floors as well."
"good!"
About ten minutes later, the three of them had also searched the bedrooms on the second and third floors.
Zhao Hai also found the spare key to the Audi in the bedroom on the second floor.
With the key in hand, the three of them loaded all the supplies into the car.
The trunk and back seats were crammed full, and even the passenger seat had some light supplies.
After Zhao Hai inflated the tires, the entire vehicle visibly slumped under the weight of the supplies.
