In this post-apocalyptic world, I unexpectedly became a star galaxy master.
Chapter 34 Sweep, Departure
Including her own room, Hongtang swept up a total of 75 solid wood beds and mattresses, each 1.8 meters wide, on the 31st and 32nd floors.
The other five rooms were all empty, probably because the residents who stayed there moved out.
The elevator is still displaying its status, but it can't go up. It's obviously been tampered with by someone, probably a staff member here.
Hongtang walked through the stairwell, checking on each floor's residents.
The 28 companies on floors 11-20 were ransacked. Food, water, and snacks were all taken, leaving only some office equipment such as tables, chairs, printers, copiers, cabinets, and chairs. Some large sofas, coffee tables, fish tanks, books, artwork, fitness equipment, and coffee machines were also left. As for the flowers and plants, they had all died from the sun.
The scene was in complete disarray, with trash and scraps of paper everywhere.
Hongtang understood those people's feelings very well. It was extremely hot, and the most urgent needs were food and water, so everything else had been preserved well.
However, she was curious about where those people were currently gathered in this building.
The office building is now without water and electricity, why don't they leave when it's cold at night?
She couldn't worry about that for now; as far as Hongtang could see, the entire space was hers to collect.
Offices, like those of bosses, were high-profile locations, and she was hoping to find something valuable inside. Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. There were no hidden rooms or anything like that; there were some safes, but they were all opened, with documents and banknotes scattered all over the floor.
It seems that everyone has realized that "money" is no longer money, and has reached the point of "regarding money as dirt".
These red crabapples are not to be trifled with; we'll keep them as souvenirs.
As I passed the 16th floor, I heard people talking. Upon closer listening, I realized they were discussing how to resist the property management staff and which team had gone to Metro to collect another batch of supplies.
Hongtang remembered that the receptionist said that there were about twelve or thirteen of their staff members, while this group only had seven or eight people, including three girls. The disparity in strength was huge. How could they possibly fight back?
This floor will be skipped.
Why does the air on the 13th floor smell so foul? Hongtang peeked out and saw blood all over the floor. It seemed there had been a bloody incident here, so she left without hesitation.
This floor will also be skipped.
来到10楼,她记得这层楼有3家装修的。还有9楼2家,8楼4家,6楼2家,一共11家。
Their door was also pried open, but there was little food or water inside, only building materials, which were Hongtang's favorites.
Paints, varnishes, diatomaceous earth, latex paint, gypsum board, baseboards, moisture-proof mats, plating, veneers, tiles, water pipes, switches, power strips, hardware, flooring, cabinets, chandeliers, wallpaper, glass, brushes, rollers, measuring tapes, rangefinders, voltage testers, electric drills, electric screwdrivers, and toolboxes.
Although the 11 households are at different stages of renovation, they are enough to make up a complete set of renovation materials and utensils.
After collecting the goods here at Hongtang, we still need to collect the equipment and materials from the construction site. But it's 3 PM now, the hottest time of day, and it's not convenient to move around during the day.
Back in my room on the 32nd floor, I went into my personal space for an afternoon nap, waiting for the evening.
At 7 p.m., Hongtang was woken up by an electronic alarm clock.
I need to get some work done later, so I need to eat something nice for dinner.
Sweet and sour pork ribs, braised prawns, stir-fried pork with garlic sprouts, stuffed bell peppers, fruit platter, and a big bowl of rice—it's another hearty meal.
After eating, we started doing some fun.
Ha Ge: You stupid woman, did you forget to feed me again?! Am I even your biological child? Oh well, I'll just keep hunting. I might as well test my skills against Niu Ge.
Fortunately, Hongtang didn't encounter anyone from the 32nd floor down to the first floor. She only saw faint lights on the 16th and 2nd floors. These were probably the property management staff and the residents; they still had lighting equipment.
The main door on the first floor was locked, and Hongtang used her "spatial teleportation" skill to leave the office building.
I took the shared electric scooter out of the space, and it showed "23.5km remaining".
Hongtang suddenly had a brilliant idea: could Ha Ge use its "lightning-type" energy to recharge? If so, she would have an endless supply of electricity.
Although she has diesel and gasoline generators and isn't worried about power shortages, having another source of power means she should make the most of it.
I'll let Ha Ge try it when I'm done with this.
Upon arriving at the nearby construction site, the first thing that catches the eye is the towering crane. Although it was night, Hongtang spotted it immediately.
Put away the electric scooter, carefully walk through the construction site, and slowly approach it.
Collect the piles of sand, pebbles, and timber at your feet. Collect the scattered steel bars, steel plates, and brick blocks. Collect the bags of cement and lime. Collect the dismantled scaffolding and dense mesh netting as well.
Finally reaching a distance of 10 meters, Hongtang focused her mind and the tower crane was in her grasp.
Although she has a "seven-person team" of infrastructure robots, this cannot be revealed in public. Traditional construction equipment is still needed as a cover; who knows, it might come in very useful in the future.
This construction site is relatively clean; there's not much left to collect. Let's move on to the next one.
So, Hongtang went to eight or nine construction sites, buying and selling various building materials such as glass, tiles, insulation boards, wires and cables, plumbing pipes, architectural hardware, doors and windows, and also a considerable amount of lime, cement, sand, and gravel.
However, there were not many construction machines, only tower cranes, rammers, bulldozers, and welding machines. In addition, we also saw abandoned toothed saws, woodworking chainsaws, wheelbarrows and other small tools.
Hongtang tried it out and found it still worked, so she took it.
She would have accepted the prefabricated houses if they hadn't been damaged, deformed, and filthy inside.
"Sigh, why didn't I think of stockpiling some prefabricated houses back then?" Hongtang lamented.
She had seen some really nice guesthouses made of prefabricated houses, and she wanted to build one herself, but she didn't have a place to put it, so she bought a motorhome.
After confirming that there was nothing she wanted to take, Hongtang left.
She found the hotel closest to Beishan Villa and barely managed to book a room using her remaining 1000 yuan credit limit from her online payment platform. The hotel's price increase was also outrageous.
After searching around, I still feel that Beishan is the safest place, so I'll stay here for now and make further plans later.
After locking the doors and windows, Hongtang entered the space and grabbed Ha Ge to begin the "charging experiment".
After burning out more than a dozen small household appliances, Hongtang finally came to a conclusion.
Electrical appliances that consume a lot of power, such as mobile phones, small desk lamps, and electric fans, cannot be directly charged using "lightning-type superpowers".
However, devices that can store electrical energy, such as outdoor power banks, generators, and power banks, are suitable.
However, Ha Ge still couldn't control the power consumption well, and small-capacity storage devices like power banks were easily burned out. So Hong Tang rummaged through the warehouse and found all the outdoor portable power banks in the warehouse, all kinds of sizes, totaling more than 500.
Hongtang hugged Ha Ge with a sly smile, pointed to the ten large piles of things that had been divided on the ground, and said.
"Brother Ha, see this charging port? Just discharge your electricity into it, understand? Keep doing this until it stops receiving your little lightning bolts, then move on to the next one. For every 50 you complete, this whole pile, I'll let you go to the fishpond for a visit, okay?" His seductive tone was just like the Big Bad Wolf coaxing Little Red Riding Hood.
Ha Ge: "Sparking electricity" is a good job for me, but I prefer hunting.
"Meow~"
Liao!
Hongtang: Hehe, Free Laborer #2 is online.
Sister: Hehe, then I'll be free laborer number one.
There are only three "people" in this household. The host is the laziest and doesn't like to do any work. It's obvious who the number one laborer is.
Ha Ge was busy working hard, Hong Tang was laughing happily, and her younger sister was watching the fun from the side.
The family of three was enjoying a happy time together.
