My Post-Apocalyptic Territory

The battle lasted very short a time.

One minute the gunshots were ringing out incessantly, and the next second, the usual tranquility returned.

Wang Zhou and another survivor, having narrowly escaped death, were panting heavily.

The remaining survivors were lucky enough not to have gone far and immediately hid back in the villa area after being notified.

At this moment, he was listening to Wang Zhou and the other man recount his thrilling experience.

Wang Zhou was basically doing the talking. Although his other companion had also recovered, his face was still very pale. On the contrary, Wang Zhou, who had looked like he was about to cry, now had an excited expression. The others looked at him with strange expressions.

"...You don't know, those people had ferocious faces, and guns were pointed at my head, but I was completely fearless and calm."

"At that moment, the expert appeared beside us like a gust of wind, cutting our ropes in an instant. Those enemies blocking our way were all defeated in one fell swoop..." Wang Zhou paused here, then suddenly paused, "It seems there were two experts, were they twins? No, that can't be right, I couldn't see clearly with their helmets on. But the expert was really amazing. Those guys looked strong, but in front of the expert they were just paper tigers, utterly vulnerable..."

Wang Zhou got more and more excited as he spoke, and the others listened intently.

They didn't see the specifics, but they could imagine how formidable the expert was.

These people had so many guns and weapons that just hearing the gunshots made them all turn pale.

But the expert was able to move freely amidst such a hail of bullets.

It's incredibly lucky to have such a skilled person in our shelter!

…………

Tang Yu rested his chin on his hand, pretending to be deep in thought.

The battle came quite suddenly. Although the enemy had been defeated, he still reflected on the shortcomings of the battle.

They still lack vigilance.

If the other side hadn't kept these people around for their own purposes, these two citizens might have already been killed.

He never expected to suddenly encounter such a group of awakened outsiders.

In the post-apocalyptic wilderness, different survivor groups often maintain vigilance, but are not necessarily hostile. Not everyone is vicious, and even if there are interests involved, one should first consider whether it is worthwhile.

Once you make a move, losses are inevitable.

Unlike these people, who resort to violence at the slightest provocation—or rather, before they even had a chance to argue—these people were already finished. This story taught him that in life and in business, one should be careful and low-key, and not be too arrogant.

Tang Yu thought it made a lot of sense, and he had always kept a low profile.

"Territory development needs to be accelerated, especially in terms of defense. This time, they've even managed to get close to our territory, which makes us feel very insecure..."

He pondered, "This group of people is no small fry. They've all disappeared here, and who knows what kind of trouble they might cause. Fortunately, it's not all trouble; they've also gained quite a bit."

Han Jing and his group suffered heavy casualties in the battle.

Most of them were killed by Number One and Number Two. These two puppets were extremely violent, and with their strength, being hit head-on meant certain death.

Tang Yu also made a move this time, shooting down a berserk Awakened One who charged forward with a single shot.

This was his first murder.

But I didn't feel any discomfort.

I've always heard that killing someone makes you feel nauseous, vomit, and your legs go weak.

He didn't think so. He had been through the apocalypse for a month and had seen all sorts of bloody scenes. All that was missing was the final practical activity, and this completed that.

Luo Zhe extracted information from the remaining survivors.

"Source Crystal Ore, no wonder..."

Tang Yu was extremely envious of this source crystal mine.

He understood the importance of Source Crystals better than anyone else; once Source Crystal mines were established, the territory would undoubtedly enter a period of rapid development.

The idea was wonderful, but reality was cruel.

The territory is sparsely populated, with only a handful of cats and dogs, barely enough for even porters, let alone miners! Besides, although this source crystal mine is nearby, only three or four kilometers away, it's still in the wild, deep in the mountains, an extremely dangerous environment…

"So, this source crystal mine can only be viewed, not mined?"

Tang Yu was depressed.

and many more……

He suddenly remembered Wang Tai, the former shelter director, who was recognized by Chen Haiping at the end.

Wang Tai seemed decisive, probably knowing that he had no chance of survival no matter what, and committed suicide before he could even be interrogated.

However, Wang Tai's two trusted subordinates were not so decisive. Luo Zhe immediately ordered his men to keep an eye on them, not giving them a chance to commit suicide. Then, under his skillful interrogation techniques, the two trusted subordinates even revealed what color underwear they wore.

They also learned that Wang Tai came here not only to guide Han Jing to the source crystal mine, but also for his own purpose.

It seems they want to retrieve a batch of important supplies.

That's all the two of them knew, mostly guesses based on Wang Tai's daily habits and behaviors.

Wang Tai had a habit of hiding supplies.

Tang Yu felt this was highly likely. Wang Tai, who had fled in a panic, wouldn't have had time to take the supplies with him, and his two subordinates confirmed this.

After draining these people of their value, Tang Yu handed them over to Luo Zhe to deal with.

Letting them go is out of the question.

This group of people was still too dangerous for him. As for the big boss from Lindong behind them, Tang Yu wasn't too worried. What he was thinking about now was Wang Tai's supplies.

"Where could it be hidden?"

…………

Villa area, western section.

Opposite to the eastern section of the villa area, this is also the core area of ​​the entire resort. Wang Tai previously lived in Villa No. 1 in the western section.

He had searched this villa before, but hadn't found much of value. He hadn't thought much about it then, but now he realized it was very strange... How could Wang Tai's residence have nothing of value? He didn't have time to pack when he escaped!

Putting himself in Tang Yu's shoes, he also had a habit of keeping things in his place of residence. For example, in the castle, there was a small storeroom where he stored the source crystals he had collected.

Wang Tai's belongings are likely in the villa where he lives, but certainly not in a conspicuous place.

The villa occupies a considerable area. After circling the villa, Tang Yu felt that two places were most likely: either in the small garden in front of the villa, or in the basement.

The basement was empty at this moment; some food that had been stored there had been taken away.

"Number One!"

The puppet guard appeared beside Tang Yu and pointed to the walls around the basement. "Smash all the walls here, but be careful not to collapse this place."

With a rumble, Number One transformed into a human bulldozer, and in the blink of an eye, this relatively tidy basement became a ruin, looking even more devastated than the surface outside, which had been ravaged by the demonized beasts.

Amidst the ruins, a hollow space stands out.

"Sure enough, there's an even deeper basement!"

The basement was even smaller, but it was filled with supplies as far as the eye could see, including not only basic food, but also luxury goods such as tobacco and alcohol, and even a large number of items such as firearms, a dazzling array...

"It's about to make a fortune!"

There was plenty of food in the basement, and Tang Yu also saw a refrigerated display case connected to a diesel generator that was still running.

In the refrigerator, Tang Yu found a lot of vegetables and various kinds of meat.

At this point, people no longer care how long the meat has been frozen or how fresh it is. In terms of the abundance of ingredients, it's no different from before the apocalypse!

Wang Tai certainly knows how to enjoy life.

Fortunately, he benefited from it all, and Tang Yu felt he should thank Mr. Wang Tai for his selfless dedication.

Food occupied a large part of the basement, a small portion consisted of daily necessities, and the rest was mostly firearms.

Tang Yu was no longer bothered by ordinary pistols and rifles, but he still found a surprise among this batch of weapons.

The two light machine guns greatly enhanced the shelter's defensive layout.

Although, the territory currently doesn't even have a decent defensive line.

"However... these things alone are not enough to make Wang Tai go through all sorts of trouble to obtain this batch of supplies. Moreover, these things take up quite a bit of space. If Wang Tai does not want to attract the attention of Han Jing and his people, he cannot take so many things with him."

"Then the most valuable thing should be..."

Tang Yu looked into the corner, where there was a safe.

The secret room was even kept in a safe. Even if Tang Yu didn't use his brain, he knew there must be valuable items inside.

This was a very high-end safe with extremely strong protection, but that was before the apocalypse. Now, it was easily smashed open.

What catches the eye is a large number of sparkling energy crystals.

Tang Yu held his breath; this was the first time he had ever seen so many energy crystals.

How many exactly? A thousand units, two thousand units, or more?

"5,255 units of energy crystals were detected."

The system's cold voice rang in his mind, but at that moment, Tang Yu found it incredibly pleasant to hear.

He'll be rich...and have Yuanjing now.

Thank you, Wang Tai.

Inside the safe, besides energy crystals, there were also some high-grade materials from mutated beasts, such as sharp claws and thick fur.

Many of these items seemed to be special products from the post-apocalyptic world, and he couldn't recognize them for the time being.

For example, a piece of crystal the size of a basketball, completely white and transparent.

For example, a piece of metal the size of a brick, which looks no different from a regular brick.

Tang Yu took out the materials one by one, examined them, and then put them back into the safe. He decided to just take the entire safe with him.
