Chapter 15: Treasure Hunting in the Apocalypse
After dealing with the meat in her hands, she walked to Lu Min Feng’s side, took over his meat-frying work, and let him go eat something.
While frying meat, Sang Chu took out watermelons, cut them, and handed them over. Mu Xue, with her mouth full of oil, her eyes lit up when she saw the watermelon:
“Sang Xiao Chu, you’re so thoughtful, I absolutely love you!”
After making a heart shape with her hands, she busily stuffed the watermelon into her mouth,
eating messily!
Watching from the side, Tu You suddenly remembered that Sang Chu ate like this before, and couldn’t help but feel that people in the apocalypse were truly pitiful.
【A Chu, you guys are so miserable! 】
【It’s all in the past, the good days are just beginning. 】
Full and satisfied, the three of them lay on the sofa. Sang Chu was fine; at least she hadn’t starved in the Monster Transformation World. However, Mu Xue and Lu Min Feng were so full they could barely move.
Seeing them like this, Sang Chu simply sat beside them and said:
“Mu Xue, Lu Min Feng, I’ve also bought hovercars for you. I also have a house building machine here. Perhaps we can find a place to build our own base first. However, I’m afraid I can’t accompany you. I need to find things like gold, silver, and jade to exchange for silver money.”
While searching for treasures, she also had to look for her brother, but she didn’t know if he was still alive.
She didn’t mention this. Searching for someone in the apocalypse was like finding a needle in a haystack; she didn’t want to trouble Mu Xue and the others.
Mu Xue: “Oh, right. You mentioned that this Time-Space Train requires mandatory boarding, and you need to buy a train ticket?”
“Yes.”
Although Lu Min Feng had heard Mu Xue mention it, he still found it magical: “What happens if there isn’t enough money to buy a train ticket?”
“Death,” Sang Chu said helplessly, continuing, “Most of the money I earned in the Monster Transformation World has been exchanged for these supplies, which should last you a long time. These things with soil are renewable resources, so don’t worry about running out after eating them.”
Mu Xue: “Ah? You can die? Then what should we do? The apocalypse is full of scrap metal, where can we find any good things!”
Lu Min Feng thought for a moment and said, “A Chu, does your system elf have any treasure maps or anything like that to provide?”
Sang Chu was stunned for a moment. How could she not have thought of this? She quickly asked Tu You.
Tu You: 【It actually does, but it costs money. It’s not expensive, only a little over a hundred yuan. 】
【Okay, I’ll buy one! 】
After buying it, Tu You said it had been imported into her optical computer, and she could see it by opening it.
Seeing Sang Chu spacing out, Mu Xue was about to ask what she was doing when she saw her operating her optical computer. Then, a projection of a huge treasure map instantly appeared before them.
“I just exchanged for this map with the system elf.”
Mu Xue’s eyes widened as she looked at Lu Min Feng: “It really exists? You’re so smart!”
Lu Min Feng: “I just thought that since they could offer to exchange treasures for money, there should be something like a treasure map. I was just trying it out.”
Mu Xue: “That’s still smart, much smarter than Sang Xiao Chu. Are we going treasure hunting?”
The two suddenly looked at Sang Chu with shining eyes, startling her: “I can go by myself, it’s very dangerous.”
Mu Xue: “Where isn’t dangerous in the apocalypse? Besides, we’ve eaten so much of your food and taken so many things, what’s wrong with helping you treasure hunt!”
Lu Min Feng: “That’s right, A Chu, you don’t need to be polite with me. My ability is already Level 2, and my invisibility ability is only Level One, but it’s barely enough. I can help.”
Mu Xue narrowed her eyes unhappily at Sang Chu: “Sang Xiao Chu, you don’t think I’ll be a burden, do you!”
Although her words were like this, her expression was more like if Sang Chu dared to say yes, she would immediately bite her!
Sang Chu: “I’m grateful enough that you’re willing to help.”
Mu Xue: “Alright then, quickly take a look. Where is the place marked on this map? I’m terrible with directions, I can’t read maps!”
Sang Chu: “.”
Lu Min Feng walked closer and saw that the place marked with a red dot was quite close to them, but?
“This place is a bit strange. It looks like it’s at the foot of a high mountain?”
Mu Xue: “Why would a treasure site be at the foot of a mountain?”
Sang Chu frowned as she looked at the closest spot, magnified it, and found it was indeed a mountain: “Could it be… a tomb?”
Sang Chu said hesitantly, and Lu Min Feng nodded: “It’s very possible, but how do we go about it since we have no experience in this area?”
Sang Chu directly took out weapons: “I haven’t had time to tell you yet, these are laser guns, there are cold light guns and flame guns, all high-attack items. This is light energy. Each of you take one and put it in your space link. Whenever the optical computer flashes red or orange, charge it immediately by inserting the light energy directly into the optical computer.”
Each person had two or three weapons and one light energy source, and hovercars. Basically, everything came in pairs. Sang Chu also synchronized the map with the two of them.
“We’ve also added each other’s optical computer numbers, so signal issues don’t exist. If we lose contact, we’ll communicate via optical computer. In case of danger, directly enter the hovercar; its defense system is very powerful. I’ll teach you how to use it later; the operation of hovercars is basically the same.”
Mu Xue also knew the dangers of tomb raiding. Although she was timid, she had an adventurous dream. Moreover, she felt she had seen zombies, so going into a tomb was nothing to be afraid of.
At most, she’d encounter a big zombie, give it a laser gun shot, and send it back to its happy home!
Lu Min Feng and Sang Chu didn’t know about Mu Xue’s ambition, or they might have changed their route immediately.
Lu Min Feng: “A Chu, can this optical computer be used as a lighting device?”
“Yes, it can. The optical computer has many functions. You can think of it as a mobile phone that can access the internet without needing a network connection.”
Lu Min Feng: “Okay, then after you teach us how to operate the hovercar, everyone will rest for one night, and we’ll go explore that place tomorrow. Don’t go too deep at first. If there’s danger, we’ll retreat as quickly as possible. Anyway, there are treasures in many places on this map, so there’s no need to get stuck in one spot.”
Mu Xue: “I agree!”
“I agree too. Let’s start then. I’ll tell you the operation method for the hovercar first.”
Sang Chu led the two to the control cabin.
The two found that it was all automatic driving, and there were many things on it they had never seen before.
Sang Chu: “Actually, you don’t need to operate much. You’ll basically understand after watching it once.”
Mu Xue: “How is that possible? I can’t even ride a bicycle properly!”
Sang Chu said: “You don’t need to ride it, you just need a mouth.”
After speaking, she pointed to the letters displayed on the control screen and said: “That’s the hovercar robot’s designation. Before operating, just call it. Little A, open the route map I transmitted to you. I want to go to the closest place on the red circle.”
A female voice came: “Okay, Master, please wait a moment. Opening the map!”
After a while, the map appeared on the control panel screen. After it marked the closest point, it planned the route: “Route has been set. Please confirm if the route is correct, Master.”
“Correct. Please set the hovercar’s temperature to the optimal state. We need to enter sleep mode. After arriving, find a safe place to park and activate the defense mode.”
