Their luck seemed to be very good. Maybe because the zombie virus broke out in the early morning, and many vehicles transporting goods were on the road to the city at that time, so there were many vehicles with good things scattered on the way. When they were still two intersections from the gas station, they were lucky enough to "pick up" a full fuel truck.

After collecting the fuel truck, He Zizhong breathed a sigh of relief. Because of the special nature of gasoline, many large forces quickly reacted and prioritized occupying various gas stations as soon as possible.

For example, those who ran to the gas station and found it had run out of gas, their luck was not bad. If someone encountered the kind of people who took advantage of a gas station and the situation, they will be very unlucky.

Can't solve the situation, can't find oil, but delivering their life up instead.1As in, if they run into people who occupy a gas station, they can't solve their need for oil, have to deal with another force, and end up paying with their life.

When He Zizhong and Fang Hao rushed to the gas station, there were already two cars refueling. Seeing He Zizhong's car, the two groups of people remained vigilant and did not approach them.

Two zombies were lying down on the side of the gas station. The two don't know if they killed them or people who came here earlier did.

There were several zombified staff members trapped in the gas station, hitting the small door with their bodies.

At the 24-hour convenience store not far away, the windows and doors of the glass were all shattered, and there seemed to be figures moving inside, whether it was a person or a zombie.

The car in front drove off after refueling, and the other car drove to the door of the convenience store.

He Zizhong got out of the car and refueled, while Fang Hao stood by with a weapon. The SUV's oil was basically full, so it filled up fairly quickly.

He Zizhong's purpose for coming here today was not just to add fuel. After the two of them refueled, they drove to a small room at the gas station, the door inside was half open, and the people or zombies who were supposed to be inside were no longer there.

He Zizhong took the lead and walked ahead carefully. Sure enough, there was no one in the room, and there were many oil drums in the corners of the room.

Taking in most of the oil drums, He Zizhong looked at the gas station regretfully. If it weren’t because the gas station’s oil tanks were buried in the ground, he would really want to dig them up and put it in the space... gasoline was something that the more that was used, the less there was; he's not worried about the amount, as he can put it in the space.

When the two returned to the car and drove past the convenience store, they saw two people running out of the convenience store, and complaining: "...Something fell on the ground, and a lot of them were broken... "

Without delay, the two increased the throttle and continued to drive forward. On the road leading to the coal plant, there were more vehicles because the road led to the expressway. At this time, people who reacted faster all decided to flee, and because of the sound of cars, zombies that originally hid in the dark were lured out.

Most of the cars drove directly to the highway. He Zizhong turned halfway and headed for the coal plant.

This place was no different than other places. There is no food, and coal cannot be used as a substitute for gasoline, so it was very easy to gather supplies. Not to mention coal for the next few years, even if Fang Hao simmered soup for He Zizhong daily. it would be enough for two people to use for a lifetime.

Not to mention, they still have solar energy to use.

"Where shall we go afterwards?" Fang Hao was also very excited about such a shopping spree, and he couldn't wait to ask when he returned to the car.

"Go to this supermarket first, then find a place to spend the night in a nearby residential area. Then go to this gas company tomorrow, and along the way, go to another large supermarket nearby to check the situation. Finally, we can go to this clothing department store wholesale market." Free things, why not take?

"Good!"

The car set off again, heading for the nearest supermarket, which was located in the outskirts of city F. The main consumer groups of the supermarket are surrounding residents and rural residents a little further away.

Therefore, after the two arrived here, they found that not much was taken. Obviously, not many people had come before them.

"Go to the monitoring room first." He Zizhong locked the door and whispered to Fang Hao.

Fang Hao nodded, lifted the steel pipe, and put down a zombie who smelled "fragrance".

There were a few cars parked in front of the supermarket, but they don’t know if it is the owner or the owner is no longer there.

There are two floors in the supermarket. The jewelry store on the first floor is where they entered. The glass was broken, and all the jewelry inside is missing.

Jewelry shops in such supermarkets usually don’t sell too expensive jewelry. Most of it is silver jewelry, as well as a small amount of gold and platinum.

Fang Hao paused when they passed the counter. He Zizhong followed his gaze and looked at it. In the corner of the counter, there was a corpse lying. It was a human corpse, not a zombie.

"Let's go." Maybe it was greed for money, or taking the opportunity to take revenge. In the future, this kind of thing will become far more common than zombie cannibalism.

Fang Hao nodded and followed him silently.

The two walked all the way to the monitoring room. On the aisle outside the monitoring room, there were a few zombies wandering about. Using their steel pipes, they wiped them out.

There was no one in the monitoring room, either they escaped, or became the companion of the zombies just outside.

Fang Hao inspected the zombie’s brain for crystal nuclei, while He Zizhong went in, turned off all the monitoring equipment, and unloaded the hard disk from the monitoring equipment.

After leaving the house, he found that Fang Hao had finished processing the zombie's head and was squatting next to a zombie, trying to turn it over.

"what happened?"

"Oh, senior, I'm just surprised, this zombie is carrying a backpack, and it feels very heavy." Fang Hao replied, pulling the backpack away,  revealing shimmery gold and silver.

Now the two of them know the whereabouts of the jewelry.

"Let's put it away, what if it's useful in the future?" Fang Hao happily took the backpack off the back of the hapless robber. The excitement of killing monsters and collecting monster drops made people unable to stop!

He Zizhong smiled helplessly, and put away the package. He knew that the future value of gold and silver would not drop much. Of course it would drop at the beginning, but later the Academy of Sciences developed certain weapons containing gold and silver elements that were effective against zombies, so gold and silver appreciated again after the initial downturn.

It's just that he hadn't seen those weapons with his own eyes. Those weapons were for soldiers, veterans, and martial arts masters who had no abilities but had good skills. Ordinary people like him were not qualified to use it.

Maybe it will gradually become popular in the future, but definitely was not before his death in the last life.

Putting away the parcels, the two returned to the entrance of the supermarket. There were indeed some people in the supermarket at this time, but not many. Apart from He Zizhong and Fang Hao, there were only two groups of people.

The instant noodle area in the supermarket was basically emptied, and there were very few rice noodles and other things left. Because of when the apocalypse started, there was nothing in the fresh vegetable area in the supermarket.

The two of them walked and collected things. Puffed food, daily necessities, refrigerated and frozen stuff,  and other things that no one cared about, were all quietly taken away by the two. The deli area and the cold meat freezers on the first floor were basically mopped up by them.

Climbing up to the second floor, the electrical appliances, lifestyle appliances, and daily appliances were not let go of either.

Because most people came for the food area on the first floor, so...

"Hey? Why are there so many shelves missing on the second floor?"

"Shelf? What's on it?"

"It seems to be... a shelf for plastic wrap and pots and pans?"

Even if some latecomers guessed that someone had space abilities, they would not think that someone with space abilities would collect shelves.

There is still so much food on the first floor that nobody wants. What's the use of these things?

The two people who took things for nothing, found a bag containing a lot of beef jerky, instant noodles, chocolate, etc. in the shoe store on the side of the aisle before leaving the supermarket. When they wanted to put it away, a group of people who just collected food and were preparing to leave, came by.

He Zizhong looked at the bag of things in his hand, and put the spoils of war into the space. Weren't other people, men and women, holding a bunch of things in large and small bags? They only carried backpacks, and were somewhat conspicuous.

Mixing into the crowd, he hurriedly left the supermarket and climbed into his car. The two discussed briefly and decided to go to a nearby hotel chain for the time being to see the situation.

The sky outside has dimmed, and a light misty fog floated in the air.

The situation in the hotel was very bad. Because the hotel charged lower fees, it was very popular with business travelers. Before they reached the hotel, they could hear the roar of zombies inside.

"Go to that bookstore to check the situation?" Fang Hao took the binoculars and pointed to a bookstore not far ahead.

That was the only choice, He Zizhong drove forward, hitting a few zombies along the way.

The two drove to the door of the bookstore, and parked the car in an inconspicuous alley on the side. After smashing the heads of three zombies, the two men entered bookstore-luckily there were no zombies inside. Sure enough, as they predicted, when apocalypse started in the middle of night, there was no one in the bookstore except a guard at the door.

The security guard, who went out to open the door early in the morning, was attacked by the zombies wandering at the door, and he was not here at all.

The two blocked the door and walked upstairs. First, they went to the security room to remove the monitoring hard disk before climbing up to the third floor. They found a small warehouse for storing books and locked the door from there. He Zizhong took Fang Hao, and in a flash they returned to the space.

In half a day, just across five or six hours, the two seemed to have gone through several days. Returning to the cozy space was particularly reassuring.

The moment they entered the space, the crystal nuclei in their pockets instantly turned into bright light, partly spreading into the space, partly heading in the direction of the well behind the bamboo house.

Blinking their eyes, the two of them recovered from the moment of surprise, and went to change clothes, wash their hands and face, and disinfect themselves.
