Apocalypse: Transmigrated General's Daughter Uses Space to Survive-Chapter 103: Going to the Precast Factory Together
Chapter 103: Chapter 103: Going to the Precast Factory Together
"Of course they are good. Technology nowadays is advanced and the products produced are aimed at sustainability and durability. So, the materials produced also have a guarantee of at least fifty years.
Even though in the apocalypse that guarantee may reduce to thirty or forty years, such materials are still useful." Chu Hao explained as he knew a few things about construction materials since he had accompanied his father for a few years doing business.
"The guarantee could also be extended using special methods. Those houses could last as long as any other house.
If renovations are done when needed, they could last a long time." Chu Miao added.
When Ye Xuan heard that, he didn’t know what special methods she was talking about, but he didn’t ask.
Chu Hao on the other hand understood that his sister was talking about those arrays she was researching.
"So, you don’t plan on joining the safety bases that the government said they were constructing?" Chu Miao asked.
She had heard his conversation with her grandfather so she knew about the government building bases. She also heard about the power struggles going on, but most people would still choose to follow the government because it guarantees some semblance of safety.
"No. A place that is plagued by power struggles will not keep people safe. Everyone in the leadership hierarchy would be focused on expanding their influence and neglect the citizens.
It’s better to rely on oneself." He explained his reasoning.
"It’s such a pity that the apocalypse has just started and the government is already dysfunctional. The people who will suffer the most are those still waiting for the government to rescue them.
Most people should have already run out of the supplies they were urged by the government to buy. Once the few supplies they received from the military run out, they will be in trouble if they still haven’t started training to kill zombies." Chu Miao commented again.
She was worried that humanity would lose another wave of survivors with this rain.
If things happen the way they usually happen in apocalypse novels, then the rain will continue for a while longer and probably flood the buildings, drowning some people and preventing others from going to search for supplies.
This situation made her heart heavy.
"We can save those we can and leave the rest to fate. We cannot save everyone. Moreover, some people might not need saving. If someone at this time still hasn’t come to their senses and understands that this is the end of the world then something is wrong with them.
Such people do not need saving as they will only drag everyone else down. That is a dead weight that should be avoided." Ye Xuan expressed his opinion seriously.
He was a soldier and his training had taught him not to leave a man behind, but in a situation where one person could cause ten to perish, he would abandon that person within a heartbeat.
That is because he took an oath to protect the lives of his countrymen, but he would not kill more people to save one. That did not align with his personal principles.
"We are here." Chu Hao said as he parked the car outside a factory gate.
The gate was locked and some grunting sounds could be heard from inside the gate.
Chu Miao uses her divine sense to scan the area inside and soon understands the layout and how many zombies were inside.
After breaking through to the Qi level four, her divine sense had expanded significantly and could cover an area of one kilometer radius.
She had not been using her divine sense before because when it was still low, it consumed too much energy and she would get a headache after using it. This was her experience from her past life.
So, she had also not taught her family how to use it. But she also knew that using divine sense repeatedly helped to expand it.
The reason she could use it so effortlessly now was because she had used it over and over again while researching array formations for half a month in the space ring, which led to it advancing when she broke through.
Now, as long as she was scanning an area within one kilometer, she didn’t feel anything. Any further than that though and she would be straining and overexerting herself, causing fatigue and headaches.
There are about three hundred zombies inside. One of them seems to have mutated, but not to the level of the one we fought at the mall." Chu Miao informed the two men beside her.
They had already gotten out of the car and killed the few scattered zombies outside the gate.
It looked like many people either didn’t come to work the day the zombie virus erupted, or they had managed to escape in time.
Chu Hao understood that his sister must have used one of her mysterious ways to determine the situation inside, but Ye Xuan was shocked again.
He realized that as he spent more time with Chu Miao, he discovered a different side of her every time.
She was like a little treasure box and he wanted to open it and uncover what other surprises were hidden inside.
He looked at her with a doting smile in his eyes,but didn’t ask or question her statement.
"Let’s open the gate and kill those zombies first then." He said as he walked towards the door.
Chu Hao placed the humvee in his space and followed after his sister who was walking behind Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan used lightning to burn the lock and slowly pushed the gate. He erected a lightning shield in front of him to prevent a zombie from ambushing him and causing a scratch.
As soon as the gate opened several zombies lunged forward and attacked them but they were incinerated by the lightning shield.
The zombies inside the factory grounds had already smelled the vitality of living humans and we’re swamping towards the three like moths to a flame.
Zombies could not resist the temptation of eating a meal out of living humans and as these ones had been locked in here since the virus spread without a source of food, they were starving and ignored any danger as they attacked.
