The Rebirth of the Last Days and Return to [Fang] Hao

This is the location chosen by He Zizhong before the couple left. It is relatively safe and concealed. Inside was two open safes. Fortunately, there weren’t too many zombies battling with the plants this time – with its special ability to find crystal nuclei, Tuanzi can directly suck out nuclei from the zombies’ heads.

They have never used such a convenient little treasure hunter before! It really makes today’s unscrupulous parents regret it. Before, they were tired and dizzy from digging crystal nuclei; this little guy should have exercised long ago.

There actually weren’t that many zombies, nor were they as widespread as the mutant plants. The result of Tuanzi not returning to the space to digest is after returning to where the missiles were dropped, after half an hour, all the scattered nuclei below level 3 were collected.

After that, Mr. Tuanzi, who used its belly to shut the safe doors, rushed to the scattered plant remains, and continued to collect its beloved plant crystal nuclei. Yes, Tuanzi can indeed touch other things. Although it can’t set a password, it is not a problem to simply close the safe door.

After confirming that the activities on Tuanzi’s side were normal, He Zizhong and his wife were not idle. They cleaned up the zombies on the street and drove their car to the Jewelry Exhibition Center. Of course, before going in, they looked through a few backpacks that had fallen on the nearby streets.

Most of the backpacks contained food that was long moldy, but one of them actually contained jewelry “taken out” from the exhibition center!

Inside is mainly gold products. Because they were afraid of putting too much jewelry in the space and letting the space enter the dormant period ahead of time, the two of them checked the contents of the package and threw the contents into the car before turning around to enter the mall.

This mall is not dedicated to selling jewelry. But because there happened to be an exhibition before the end of the world, the other showcases were temporarily cancelled and most of them were changed to jewelry exhibitions. The building is only two floors in total, but it covers a very large area.

The two quickly cleaned the jewels scattered in various showcases on the first floor, and then proceeded to the second floor.

Because the noise that the two had made on the street outside before was not small, most zombies left and they didn’t face much trouble inside.

However, when the two climbed up to the second floor of the mall, they were still attacked by a plant hidden in the corner. This was a mutated potted plant originally planted on the second floor of the mall.

Although dealing with it isn’t that easy, they are also experienced in dealing with mutant plants. In order not to damage the building too much, the two did not use the least troublesome bombing method to blow it up, but rather chopped it down completely into tiny sections with a little trouble.

After collecting the crystal nuclei hidden in the plant, the two of them looked at the second floor of the exhibition center.

The second floor is safer than the first floor. All the jewels are locked in tempered glass cases, and the most precious ones are stored in safes behind the counter. Very strict anti-theft measures are arranged here, and the alarm will be activated as long as the exhibits are touched.

Like many other places, the power supply has been out for a long time and alarm is no longer working. Not to mention for two ability users, tempered glass is just ordinary glass, and breaks into pieces with a light smash.

Quickly collecting the items here, the two of them turned back to the first floor with their backpacks full and threw the jewelry into the car. When they took out new bags from the space, they found the fog inside was already thick to a certain extent.

“I told Tuanzi to stop collecting crystal nuclei in the space for now, and wait until it has collected all the crystal nuclei before letting it return to the space to slowly absorb it.” They were going to be busy for a while to finish up, and Tuanzi also needed to slow down its progress.

Fang Hao began to take things out of the space to load the car. “Don’t know how long this space upgrade will take. We have to prepare some things.”

“You manage here first, and I will go up and collect some other things.” He Zizhong reconsidered and decided to divide the work and cooperate. They drove the car into the lobby on the first floor, and let Fang Hao organize things here.

“Okay, I will classify the jewelry first. Throw the pure gold and silver things into the space, while the jewels and jade are left outside.” They have to take things out of the space, so how will there be enough space in the car?

The two worked separately, and He Zizhong cleaned the second floor completely by himself. After returning to the first floor, he rummaged around the corners and found the stairs leading to the first floor. Then he went down to check again. .

The shopping mall did not have power facilities like in the arsenal, so he could only use a flashlight to slowly explore the basement floor.

Fortunately, He Zizhong has wind abilities that can help scout the way.

In this search, he found a lot of good things. When the end of the world came, it was nighttime. Many precious exhibits were not placed in the upstairs showcase at all, but were collected in the extremely well-protected underground safe.

How can these safe rooms stop He Zizhong’s gold ability? A reinforced weapon immediately becomes a sharp blade that cuts iron like mud, easily opening each door. He Zizhong’s mouth couldn’t help twitch when he saw the contents – is it any wonder it was locked up?

A one meter high jade-carved mountain with an extremely watery sheen. There is also a huge coral tree next to it…

Shaking his head helplessly, these large ornaments are impossible for them to place in the car, and can only be transported into the space.

Fortunately, after entering the space, most of the other jewels are directly absorbed into energy. But things like pearls and corals are not absorbed, and they are well placed inside.

Piece by piece, except for a few very exaggerated large jewels, the remaining things are mostly small and delicate precious jewels.

After ran a full circle around the basement, He Zizhong made three to four trips before finally finishing.

Fang Hao also took out the water and food needed at this time, and some pure gold and silver jewelry was also thrown into the space. On the other hand, as He Zizhong and Fang Hao were able to take a breather and take a break, wondering whether to take advantage of the space and take a shower before it upgraded, Tuanzi also picked up all the plant crystal nuclei and rushed into the space with a stomach full of green crystal nuclei.

“Wait—” He Zizhong who was late to speak, realized that his mental power was bounced out by the space, and looked at Fang Hao dumbfounded. Fang Hao also had the same expression. The space began to upgrade.

“It’s really impatient…” He Zizhong shook his head helplessly.

Fang Hao couldn’t help chuckling. “But when it comes out this time, I’m afraid there won’t be so many things for it to ‘eat’.”

Tuanzi and the space depend on crystal nuclei to provide energy for upgrading. But the highest level zombies are only level 3 today. It will be difficult for level 4 zombies to appear in a short time, so things will slow by a lot then.

“I hope so.” He checked the things behind the car quickly. Water, food, and a pile of gold and silver jewelry that may be used these days… Who knows whether these things are useful or not in the post-apocalyptic world. Bringing them into the base like this, won’t it simply be asking for trouble? Not to mention that they still have a lot of crystal nuclei that Tuanzi “hid” in the safe at the explosion site.

After all, they are deep in the city. Even if they want to wait for the upgrade of the space before returning to the base, they can’t hide here.

The two decided to drive back to the place where the crystal nuclei were hidden first, then return to the edge of the city after collecting those crystal nuclei, and wait a few days before returning to the base depending on the situation.

—–

A long convoy hurriedly entered the base, and those going out for a mission couldn’t help look at the cars. There is a truck, and another armored vehicle. Did the military go somewhere to collect things?

Some people living in the high-rises went to look into the truck’s compartment, only to find that it was empty and there is nothing inside. That’s why no one is curious to inquire more.

The group hurriedly entered the military base, and then several people in charge ran to an office building to report.

“None?”

“Nothing! We let the people in their team lead the way to the cellar, double checked the location, and there was nothing inside!”

“What’s going on?! Did they not tell the truth?”

The person responsible broke out in a cold sweat. “We have repeatedly confirmed that things should be in that town…”

“So where is it?!” The leader slapped the table angrily.

“Maybe…” The man glanced at the leader embarrassedly, and whispered a possibility, “Maybe someone else was there, and accidentally found and took it away.”

The leader paced around the room with his hands behind his back. How can he explain to his superiors? At the beginning, he patted his chest to make sure his people would get those arms back when they went, but now…

“There is no way to find out who took them?”

The person in charge had to shook his head and explained: “There is no way to check right now… Even if other teams have passed by, there is no way to check wheel prints, and there are no monitoring facilities. And just in case… just in case the people who went were not from our base…”

From the end of the world until now, the number of large bases, like the A city base, in China are not many. But the number of small bases that were forcibly merged are numerous. However, these small bases are not near major urban areas; most of them are hidden in various ravines and fields.
