Chapter 31
Solar Panels
After patrolling his base, Wang Ran drove the MPV and played some upbeat music to attract dozens of zombies nearby.
It would have been ideal if he could maintain a standing army of zombies there as a looming threat to any prospective intruders, but there were too few zombies nearby.
If it was in the city center, he could easily have a hundred zombies tailing after his loud music.
After leaving the zombies on the bridge, Wang Ran went home while humming a little tune.
In one day, he had managed to get about 110 pounds of gold.
Although it was only about a tenth of what he had gained at the vault, it was still something.
After a while, the value of gold would be revealed.
At that time, the major survivor camps would start to collect gold.
You want to join the camp?
I’ll only accept you if you hand over gold.
Want to exchange for food?
Sure, bring the gold!
Do you want to be happy? We even have B-list female celebrities here!
Do you have gold?
Although Wang Ran did not know what actual use they had for the gold, he would definitely not be at a loss if he saved as much as he could.
In any case, it had all been exchanged for food that was about to expire, so he only stood to gain from this.
As he passed a crossroad, a Lamborghini suddenly hit him from the side. It was speeding with reckless abandon.
Although Wang Ran reacted quickly, he could only do so much.
The two cars collided!
Wang Ran’s MPV took a big hit and rolled over.
Fortunately, Wang Ran had a good driving habit. Even though it was the end of the world, he was still wearing his seat belt. Otherwise, he would have been thrown out of the car long ago.
“F*ck!
“Who taught you to drive?!”
Wang Ran climbed out of the car.
He was merely bruised and would quickly heal.
The front of the Lamborghini was caved in.
The occupants sat unmovingly.
Wang Ran walked over with his sword drawn.
“Save me!”
A man in the driver’s seat shouted at Wang Ran with a pained expression.
Wang Ran took a look and saw that he was covered in blood below his waist.
As for the woman sitting next to him...
She was bleeding profusely from the mouth.
She was no longer breathing.
Wang Ran instantly conjured up an image in his mind.
That must have been the case!
How tragic.
Tsk, tsk, tsk. It has already come to this. There’s no hope.
“Save me...
“I have money, my family is very rich!
“Quickly, send me to the hospital!”
The man’s face was pale, and it seemed like he was losing blood very quickly.
“F*ck your money, what good is it?!
“You t-boned me!
“You brought this on yourself!
“Get me back an MPV!”
Wang Ran cursed.
He had been driving the MPV for a day, and he had developed feelings for it.
He had wanted to take good care of it, but in the end, it was totaled.
“Good sir! I have a box of money in my trunk!
“There’s at least a few million there!
“There’s also a box of diamonds. They’re quite valuable, too.
“If you save me, I’ll give you everything!”
The man must have sensed the severity of his blood loss as his body began to tremble.
“Diamond? Cash?”
Wang Ran sighed.
It’s useless!
If it’s gold, I could reconsider.
But it wasn’t!
“Good luck!
“Judging from your condition, you’ll go into shock in about three minutes.
“Don’t worry, it won’t be very painful.
“It’s much more comfortable than being bitten to death by zombies.”
Wang Ran consoled him with a few words.
“Don’t, brother!
“I still have a factory!
“They produce solar panels!
“If you want, I can give you the factory!” the man cried.
Wang Ran had no interest in the factory.
It was the end of the world, who could still keep a factory running?
Where would they find workers? Zombies?
However, solar panels did pique Wang Ran’s interest.
It must be known that diesel generators had many shortcomings.
They were noisy, required a consumable resource like diesel, and the generator itself would wear out.
However, solar panels were different.
The entire East Lake island could be covered with them.
Clean energy, quiet and environmentally friendly.
As long as there were enough of them, they could power all the equipment on the island.
“Is your family the...?”
Wang Ran asked.
“Yes, we’re them.
“My dad became rich from this.
“In our factory’s warehouse, there are thousands of solar panels that are ready to be shipped.
“Easily installed and reliable.
“We take installments as low as 5 yuan a day.
“Anyone can get their buildings equipped with this.”
When the man realized that he had caught Wang Ran’s attention, he immediately found a life-saving straw and grasped at it.
“Not bad.”
Wang Ran nodded.
It was a pity that this man was beyond saving. Otherwise, he could have asked him to guide him on how to install it.
“Where is your factory?” Wang Ran asked.
“It’s at...”
“Roar!”
The man was about to finish speaking when the woman in the passenger seat suddenly growled.
“Gulp!”
She swallowed something and looked at the man beside her.
White pupils.
It was obvious that she had turned into a zombie!
“Roar!”
The female zombie pounced on the man.
“Brother! Save me!”
The man cowered. If he still had the ability, he would have peed his pants.
Wang Ran calmly lifted his sword and thrust!
The female zombie’s temple was pierced.
Blood splattered all over the man’s face.
“Brother...
“Is it too late for me?
“Will I become like this after I die?” the man asked in despair.
Wang Ran nodded. There was no need to lie to him at this time.
People who were bitten by zombies would quickly zombify.
People who weren’t bitten by zombies would still turn into zombies soon after they died.
Wang Ran did not know the theory behind it, but he could roughly deduce that everyone carried the virus in some form.
The man sighed resignedly.
In any case, he had a good time before he died, so he had no regrets.
“Brother, I’ll tell you the address of the factory.
“But you have to promise me one thing.
“Give me a quick death, I don’t want to become that thing.”
The man pointed at the corpse beside him.
“Alright, I can do that.”
Wang Ran nodded.
The man wiped his tears and told him the address of the solar panel factory.
The address was in the suburbs, more than 20 kilometers away from the supermarket.
Wang Ran would still pass by that area, no matter what.
With these panels, the need for diesel generators and the like could be eliminated!
The man’s breathing was getting weaker and weaker. He had lost too much blood.
Very soon, he would enter a state of shock.
The man was ready and closed his eyes.
Wang Ran took the blade and stabbed it through the man’s forehead.
“Ah, I have to find a car again.”
Wang Ran returned to the MPV and retrieved his gold.
There were some other cars near the intersection.
Most of them were damaged.
Wang Ran picked up a red Porsche 911.
It was probably a young lady’s car, as there was a faint fragrance in it.
He stepped on the accelerator...
This speed! It was on another level!
Wang Ran instantly forgot about his MPV.
