Zombie Apocalypse

Chapter 551 A Strange House

Chapter 551 A Strange House

Old John's house was a little old, a small wooden house built on four big trees. The wooden house was about five meters away from the ground, and the ladder was a three-storey folding ladder that could be put away from it.

The villagers seemed to feel that they would only sleep peacefully if they left the ground, so they built such a floating village.

After inviting Benita into the house, Old John was a little reserved. There was nothing to entertain guests at home, which made Old John feel very rude.

Benita saw through Old John's embarrassment and smiled kindly at the three of them.

"As your savior, accepting your warm hospitality made me feel very good. Thank you for showing me around such a unique floating building."

Katrina smiled sweetly and said, "Dad built it himself. Unfortunately, he went to heaven! I never heard from him. Grandpa said it was because the postman might have turned into a zombie! Damn apocalypse!"

Katrina's last sentence imitated Old John's tone. A four-year-old girl imitated an old man who was almost seventy years old. She looked very funny. But Benita did not laugh. She nodded at Old John and touched Katrina's head. "I think God will send a new postman to deliver the letter to you in the end. However, he might be busy in the apocalypse, so he did not have time to do such a thing." But waiting with hope is always a good thing. Little Katrina, you can also take a closer look at the people around you and see if there are any postmen from heaven among them! I heard that the postmen there are kind-hearted, like to help others, and also have the ability to protect the weak! If you meet such a person, follow him and ask him if he has any letters from heaven belonging to your father. "

Katrina opened her eyes wide and raised her head to Benita, "Does he know wings? I mean, is the postman in heaven an angel?"

Benita did not answer Katrina's question. She did not want to talk too much about heaven with this cute little girl! The world had already turned into hell, and the Spanish-blooded woman did not believe that heaven really existed.

'"Alright! I'm just a passer-by. I still have very important things to do to return to my hometown, Houston! Since I've accepted your invitation to visit this place, I suppose it wouldn't be rude for me to leave!"

Old John frowned and said, "Beautiful girl! Houston is a thousand miles away from here. It's on the other side of the continent. It must be a dangerous place to go, right?"

Benita smiled and nodded, "Yes!" I have to go back! At the beginning of the apocalypse, I came to this place because I wanted to help a friend! Now that it's been two years, I think it's time for me to go back! I'm going home to see if my man came looking for me. He was in China in the East before the catastrophe. I don't know if he's back!

Old John said regretfully, "China... is too far! I hope he can come back! Beautiful lady, before you leave, please let me do something to express my gratitude to you!"

Benita hurriedly said no, but Old John insisted that he could not accept Benita's kindness in vain.

Eventually, Benita thought for a long time and said, "Alright, there's one thing you can do for me!"

...

Thirty minutes later, Benita brought Old John and his grandchildren into the courtyard walls of an abandoned residential area east of Williamsburg.

This wall was slightly taller than the walls of other nearby courtyards. It was about five meters tall, and there were power lines at the top of the wall.

The space in the courtyard was very large. Behind the three houses, there was a vegetable garden.

As Benita led the way, she said, "This is a safe place. There are very few zombies nearby, and because there are many houses here, so as long as you are careful, you won't be easily discovered by outsiders. In other words, if you want to turn on the lights at night, you'd better close all the curtains."

Old John asked curiously, "Is there any electricity here that can be used?"

Benita smiled and nodded. She did not answer Old John's question, but continued to show them around.

"This room is a warehouse. It has about sixty square meters of space.

But it has a 300-square-meter underground warehouse, "It's filled with food and daily necessities. My friends and I collected and stored them over the past two years. It's enough for the three of you to eat for a few years. The land behind us is very fertile. There are also seeds of all kinds of crops in the warehouse. If you plant the land, then I think you might be able to survive in this place forever."

Old John was a little shocked.

"So much food, won't it rot in the warehouse? Although rotten food can be eaten, if it rots..."

Benita said: "Don't worry, there are refrigeration and preservation equipment inside, so the food can be preserved for a long time."

Before Old John could react, Benita showed him around the other two rooms.

The equipment here was actually complete, and all the electrical equipment could be used. In other words, there was electricity here.

After visiting every corner of the room, Benita finally said,

"Isn't it strange why these three houses are so special?

Actually, this was originally a laboratory of the CI organization. The water and electricity in this house are all wiring separately, the water comes from underground, and the electricity is more complicated.

Within a 10 mile radius, there are many windmill generators whose harvested energy can be transmitted to the room's distribution equipment through underground pipelines.

On the other hand, the roof of the house was actually made of high-strength solar panels made of special materials. After collecting sunlight energy, they would also convert it into electricity and enter the distribution equipment.

The construction of this house contains a lot of pre-apocalyptic high-tech technology, and I'm not too sure, because I'm not a CI agency worker after all.

Mr. John, since you said you wanted to repay me, I won't stand on ceremony.

I hope you can stay here for a long time, and then help me take care of the electricity in this room. I will give you some instructions and tell you some matters needing attention so that you can know how to maintain the electrical equipment here! "My request is that the power here should not be interrupted. It should be kept in a state of power. If you can help me do this, it will really be of great help!"

Seeing Benita's solemn expression, Old John nodded in agreement.

After all, there was so much food here. This was a huge fortune for the people in the apocalypse.

But why would Benita let him take care of the electricity here? What was the so-called CI organization doing?

Benita was very grateful when she saw Old John agree. "Thank you so much! Sigh, there were three of us here, me and two CI staff. But a while ago, there was an accident that killed both CI staff! But don't worry, the accident has been resolved. There shouldn't be any similar danger here."

The little boy Jax seemed to like Benita very much. He clenched his fists and said, "Benita, don't worry! I will help you guard this place with Grandpa! Because I will grow up quickly, from a child to a man with eight abdominal muscles!"

Cortrina was not willing to be outdone and shouted, "Mm! I will help protect this place as well!"

Benita smiled happily. She liked the two children more and more.

Old John was obviously thinking too much. He asked the most crucial question.

"Beautiful lady, I'm willing to help you do this, and I don't want to know why. But how long do we need to guard this place?"

Benita's expression darkened and she thought for a while before saying,

"Well, that's up to you! You'd better be able to protect this place for a few years, but you can give up this place at any time if you encounter any danger.

Because … I, who was supposed to protect this place, have already planned to leave. I cannot selfishly let you guys stay here instead of me.

Well, there's no secret. It's just that a very close Chinese friend of mine got rid of me. Unfortunately, I couldn't do anything to help her... "

Old John did not understand what Benita had said, but seeing that Benita seemed to be in a bad mood, he hurriedly interrupted her and said, "Yes!" Beautiful lady, you don't have to explain much to me. Since you saved the lives of our three grandchildren, we should repay you! Don't worry, as long as it isn't dangerous for the lives of my two children, Old John will definitely stay here until he dies. Then, will you come back? "

Benita nodded gratefully and said, "Maybe I will come back, or maybe I won't." After returning to Houston, if my man hadn't come looking for me, I could only understand that he had turned into a zombie or died in the apocalypse. At that time, I should start my new life! Although the apocalypse never seems to stop, we still have to live, don't we? "

Old John nodded and agreed with Benita.

After that, Benita took Old John's grandchildren and grandchildren around the front and back of the house and told Old John how to repair all the equipment.

After doing all this, Benita said goodbye and left.

The sun had already risen. Old John held Jax and Katrina's hands and stood in the courtyard, looking at the house in front of him. He was filled with curiosity, not knowing what secret it was hiding. But it didn't take long for this curiosity to be replaced by other emotions.

"Let's go, two little fellows, and follow Grandfather to see how much food the beautiful Benita has prepared for us! I hope there's whiskey in it, haha!
