Apocalypse: Transmigrated General's Daughter Uses Space to Survive-Chapter 197: A Worthy Investment

"Mmm.... that’s good." It wasn’t clear whether Ye Xuan’s ’that’s good’ meant that the team members’ health would improve or that Chu Miao was happy about finding a solution.

But to him, it didn’t matter as long as he could see such a radiant smile on her face.

"Do you know why there isn’t a single zombie in this building? And from how far I can sense, which is only a few buildings, there is not a zombie in sight." Ye Xuan asked the question that had been puzzling him since he entered the building.

It was normal that there weren’t zombies outside since it was flooded and they most likely couldn’t swim. But what about in the building? The only living thing they saw were the maggots they found on the third floor coffee shop.

He couldn’t understand why not a single zombie or survivor was seen. This was completely illogical.

"I noticed the peculiarity too. Most of the zombies here were probably eaten by those fish we killed outside. The ones showing signs of zombification should have eaten zombies.

However, the place shouldn’t be so devoid of any other creature. Then there is only one explanation, there is a stronger creature nearby.

Either it could command the zombies and have them move away, or it has fed on all the other zombies to make itself stronger.

I am not sure which is which because even though my divine sense can cover a large area, I might have overlooked something." Chu Miao explained her thoughts as she had also realized the moment they entered the building that there wasn’t a zombie nearby.

Not even in the adjacent buildings. This is also the reason she asked the others to split up and the newcomers went to scavenge under water where she believed it was difficult for zombies to attack them, and also had her brother guard in the corridor to protect them in case something dangerous showed up.

She also brought Ye Xuan into the other parts of the building to collect the other supplies while looking for clues. However, she hadn’t seen anything so far.

That is in fact, what made her nervous. Not finding anything meant that the enemy was strong enough to hide from her, or had left earlier before they arrived.

She didn’t know which was true, but she had a feeling that staying here for too long wasn’t a good idea. That was why she had no intention of searching other buildings for supplies for the time being.

If she had been alone, she wouldn’t have worried because she could teleport with just a thought if something she couldn’t handle happened. But she was carrying a lot of dead weight today. Therefore, she could only take them back home.

"Don’t stress over it, if you feel that something is wrong, then we can go back home early. Let’s cultivate and get stronger first before coming back to check it out." Ye Xuan advised her after he saw her furrowed brows crease more.

He hadn’t expected his question to trouble her so much. However, he was aware that she must have been stressing over the issue for a while for her to have such a reaction.

While they were talking, they heard some noise coming from outside. It looked like the rest had finished their task.

Turning around, Chu Miao saw her brother leading everyone else into the shop she and Ye Xuan were in. Her brother was behaving like a peacock not knowing what the others had said to him to make him so proud.

"Miss Chu, we have finished collecting supplies that were submerged underwater. We got quite a lot of things, especially food and drinks." Chichi appeared more lively at this moment, Chu Miao didn’t know what she had found, but it looked like it was something good.

What she didn’t know was that her brother had been bedazzled by beauty and told everyone that they could keep all the supplies salvaged underwater themselves.

He had also put them away in his space and would give them back once they got home.

A moment ago, he was acting like a peacock because he had been praised for having a large space that fit all the supplies they got and those Chu Miao and Ye Xuan had left at the door of each shop.

The guy didn’t know what keeping a low-profile looked like. Especially now that there was a girl he was trying to impress.

"That’s good, you will have enough food to last until the rain is gone then. Come check out what we found." Chu Miao smiled at Chichi and invited everyone to look into the freezers.

"A freezer that is still running? The owner must have been a rich guy. Having equipment that can hold on for so long in this situation isn’t something a small-time business man could achieve." Chu Hao, who had been involved in business with his father, commented.

It was indeed true. The freezers themselves weren’t cheap, and the setup used for backup power was even more expensive. A worthy investment though.

Looking inside the freezers, everyone was astonished. How could there be so much meat? Moreover, one of them had so much marinated meat.

Just looking at it made them all start to drool. Looking at these people with drool almost touching the ground, Chu Miao couldn’t watch anymore and asked them if they had a way to keep the meat frozen without affecting its taste and shelf life.

Just as she expected, none of them could preserve the meat as it was for now.

Thus, she offered to give them some to cook for a couple of days and then come for more when needed.

"Don’t feel shy and think that you are disturbing us, without proper meals, you guys won’t be able to train well and grow stronger to fight for the team.

We don’t keep idlers, so you have to be useful. Eating a healthy diet is essential for a human to gain strength. Once we get home, come get your meat and a portion of vegetables and fruits.

My family has grown some in the green house on the rooftop. So, feel free to ask for some when in need.

Don’t worry about imposing.
