“Parking lot!” When David saw the bunch of car keys, those words immediately came to his mind. The parking lot belonged to an underground structure, which offered significantly greater security compared to buildings on the surface. Moreover, based on his memories from his previous life, a large building like this should have at least four entrances and exits in the parking lot. This meant that if their team encountered danger, they would have four escape routes, greatly increasing their chances of survival.
With this in mind, David didn’t hesitate anymore and quickly said to Duke, “Let’s go to the underground parking lot. Maybe we’ll find the base we’re looking for.”
“The underground parking lot?” Duke was initially puzzled when he heard David’s words, but then he immediately understood David’s idea, which filled him with admiration. It wasn’t an ordinary person’s ability to maintain a clear mind in such chaotic and oppressive circumstances.
Soon, the two of them arrived at the underground parking lot. The lighting inside was intermittently dim and bright, and all kinds of cars on both sides were already covered in dust. David cautiously observed the surroundings while holding an alloy short knife, and Duke assumed a stance ready to launch an attack at any moment.
After a while, they reached the innermost part of the parking lot where the lighting remained unaffected and functional, allowing David to see the surroundings clearly. On both sides, there were still many cars parked, but compared to the cars they had seen when they entered, these were noticeably high-end and luxurious: Ferraris, Porsches, Bugatti Veyrons, and even two modified off-road vehicles.
Seeing these luxury cars, which would cost a fortune on normal days, discarded here like trash, David couldn’t help but smile bitterly and shake his head. In his previous life, he couldn’t afford a single one of these cars, but in this world, he could own any car he wanted. It wasn’t about becoming wealthy; it was about the fact that the number of survivors in this world was dwindling. Being alive already meant having access to immense wealth.
David continued to observe for a while, nodding silently. He believed they could utilize the terrain here to establish a stronghold, ensuring a safe hiding place for their team members. Moreover, the most important thing was that he didn’t see any corpses here, which meant that no zombies had been in this area. It was clearly an absolute safe zone.
“Huh? Why is there another door here?” David suddenly noticed an inconspicuous corner where there was a steel door of the same color as the wall. If one didn’t observe carefully, they wouldn’t notice this door at all.
David walked towards the door, discovered that it wasn’t locked, and gently pulled it open. Stepping inside, he was somewhat surprised to find a three-bedroom apartment. This surprised him.
An apartment with three bedrooms and a living room in the underground parking lot? How is this designed? However, when David entered the bedroom, he understood why someone would build a three-bedroom apartment in the underground parking lot. He saw a maid’s uniform and a set of expensive-looking suits scattered untidily on the bed.
Wow! So this is a “hidden” room built by some big boss just for his mistress! This made David full of admiration for this cunning big boss. Being able to choose this location was also a stroke of genius. The original spouse would never have expected her husband to enjoy himself not in a hotel or an office but in the underground parking lot. However, now this place belonged entirely to David.
Looking at the dust on the table in the room, David speculated that the wealthy boss who owned this place hadn’t been here for quite some time. It was even possible that he had become food for the zombies. David couldn’t help but feel delighted at the stroke of luck he had in finding such an excellent location with high security.
“This is it!” David surveyed the room and expressed his satisfaction. Duke also inspected the room and was equally pleased.
“Now all we need to do is bring Arnold and the others here, and This is our new base for the team,” David said.
There were still five days left until he had to find a base for the team. Initially, David thought five days wouldn’t be enough time, but to his surprise, he managed to complete the task in just half a day, which relieved him.
If he didn’t find a suitable base within these five days, according to the system’s prompt, David would likely be completely exposed to the zombie horde and wouldn’t have any more chances to respawn. So he had to seize this rare opportunity for rebirth and fulfill his unfulfilled wishes from his previous life.
After a moment of contemplation, David instructed Duke, “You stay here and wait. I’ll go back and inform the others. We don’t have much time; we’re moving here today.”
Although Duke hesitated for a moment upon hearing that David wanted him to stay alone, he eventually agreed. Seeing this, David hurriedly retraced his steps, preparing to inform Arnold and the others.
Meanwhile, as the red light on the horizon disappeared, Danny finally put down the few remaining potato chips in his hand. He got up and walked slowly to the window, glancing at the window across the street, only to find that the two people who were observing the red light had vanished.
“I don’t like red in this world,” Danny sighed and shook his head. Hearing Danny’s words, Monica couldn’t help but roll her eyes.
In this world, red only appeared in two situations: bloodshed and red light. However, whenever either of these two occurred, it meant destruction. Not only Danny, but all survivors wished to avoid encountering this color their whole lives. 𝙚𝙙𝙤𝒗𝒆𝒍．𝒄𝙤𝙢
“Easy for you to say, but can you avoid it? In this world full of slaughter, we can only passively accept it. If there comes a day when we can accept it proactively, I hope it’s for victory, not death,” Monica replied. The man sitting in the corner remained expressionless, while Danny nodded with deep meaning.
“By the way, did you say David is offering ten thousand primary crystals for a box of military supplies?”
“Yes,” Monica nodded in response.
“Although I’m curious about where that kid got military supplies from and even want to buy it right now, we have to wait for Abraham to come back before making a decision. After all, it’s ten thousand primary crystals. Although we’re not short on them, we can’t be so extravagant,” Danny said, and Monica understood his meaning. She knew that only Abraham could make such a decision, so they silently waited for Abraham return.
