Zhang Su raised his eyes to look around and said, “There are no residential buildings on either side of this street, and the shops across the street have nothing to do with dining, so there’s no gas connection. Not many cars were passing by on the morning the disaster struck, so it’s normal for it to be quiet.”

“Damn, I never knew there was such a big car shop in Qin City. Jeez, those cars must be worth a fortune altogether, right?”

Zhao Dezhu had climbed onto the roof of a Prado at some point and was looking into the parking yard of Yihe Car Shop.

“Just from the row of sports cars I can see, there are forty or fifty million worth, and there are more inside the shop, definitely over a hundred million!” Lu Yubo said confidently.

“Right now, I’m only concerned about whether that guy’s Mercedes RV is still there… Can you see it, Zhuzi?”

Perhaps to prevent water seepage, Yihe Car Shop’s parking yard was a meter or two higher than the street. From Zhang Su’s perspective, he could only see the row of sports cars near the street.

“Yes! There are several big fellows parked in the innermost shed, like those RVs you see on TV, but I can’t see the logo, not sure if they’re Mercedes.”

Zhao Dezhu stood on tiptoe for a better look.

“Alright, let’s not worry about that. Let’s head over!”

Zhang Su clapped his hands and instructed, “Besides me, Old Tan, and Bozai, the rest of you go over and find a way to open the gate. We’ll drive the car into the yard, but unless absolutely necessary, don’t use force to break it. Old Tan, give them the bolt cutters you found from the hardware store.”

Using bolt cutters on the latch isn’t considered forceful damage, taking the gate apart would be…

Zhao Dezhu took the bolt cutters from Tan Huajun’s hand, and the others grabbed their weapons and ran across the street, dismantling a section of the barrier in the middle of the road for easier vehicle turnaround.

Zhang Su, Lu Yubo, and Tan Huajun got back in the car and drove across the street through the removed barrier, stopping at the base of the slope at the yard’s entrance.

Sitting in the driver’s seat, Zhang Su watched Zheng Xinyu and her team climb over the wall into the yard, found a moment of respite, took out a cigarette, lit it up, and comfortably took a puff, pondering the future arrangements.

“Get hold of that big RV, swap a few other cars, and head to Qing County this afternoon. When it gets dark, we’ll find a… hmm hey?”

Just then, he suddenly heard a faint noise behind him and turned around quickly. A dog’s head approached, its tongue outstretched and licking his face.

Pa.

Zhang Su froze, the cigarette butt dropped onto the passenger seat before he reacted. He quickly picked up the butt and wiped his face, angrily scolding, “Damn, stupid dog, when did you wake up…”

“Woof~!”

Only one dog head was poking out of the bag, and the Corgi gave a soft reply to Zhang Su, seeming very happy, with its tongue out and grinning, as if it were laughing.

“Damn, well there goes my nice dog meat hot pot!”

Zhang Su muttered grudgingly, a twenty or thirty-pound dog, plus some potatoes, winter melon, and hot pot balls, would make a great meal for more than ten people!

“Whimper.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the Corgi’s eyes darken immediately, letting out two very aggrieved whimpers.

“Hey…”

Zhang Su looked at the Corgi in surprise, its big ears energetically perked up. He asked curiously, “Can you understand what I’m saying?”

“Woof!”

The Corgi immediately gave an enthusiastic reply, its black eyes shining brightly.

However, this clever behavior seemed dumbly cute to Zhang Su, who didn’t believe the pup could understand him. His eyes shifted, coming up with an idea: “Stupid dog, it’s dangerous outside, don’t bark, understand?”

To Zhang Su’s astonishment, the Corgi actually nodded its head humanlike and didn’t make a sound.

“Damn it…”

Zhang Su was amazed, wanting to test it further, but he saw the gate had been pushed open, five or six people were busily moving the gate barriers aside, signaling the others to drive in.

“Got work to do now, if you really understand me, don’t move around!”

With that, Zhang Su didn’t have time for the Corgi, gently pressed on the gas pedal, and drove the car up the slope into the yard.

“Brother Su, we’re gonna hit it big this time!”

The car hadn’t even come to a complete stop when Wu Lue joyfully bounced over to the window, saying, “So many luxury cars, we can swap shotguns for cannons this trip, haha, everyone can get a sports car!”

“What’s the use of sports cars…”

Zhang Su dashed Wu Lue’s excitement with cold water, and directed his gaze toward the far-end sheds containing several big vehicles, among them stood an RV with a Mercedes logo, the Vario Signature 1200!

“Everybody, go into the shop and look for the keys, they should be in the boss’s office. Be careful of Old Liu and zombies! Xinyu, you come over here!”

Zhang Su lowered the car window and gestured to Zheng Xinyu.

Zheng Xinyu was a bit puzzled, pointing to her own nose, confused why Zhang Su was calling her over alone, she walked over to the van in surprise, asking, “What is it?”

“Get in the car!”

Zhang Su indicated that Zheng Xinyu should get into the car to talk.

This odd move puzzled not only Zheng Xinyu but everyone else too. They couldn’t understand why the two suddenly had to act mysteriously. In broad daylight, were they going to have some fun in the car?

Impossible…

Lu Yubo immediately leaned over to Zhong Xiaoshan’s side, whispering slyly, “Sister-in-law, what are Brother Su and Big Sister-in-law up to?”

Zhong Xiaoshan gave Lu Yubo a strange look and shook her head, “No idea.”

“Brother Su, what’s so important… wow!”

Zheng Xinyu opened the car door and sat inside, immediately noticing the extra pair of eyes in the car, the bright, shiny pupils staring at her with a curious expression.

“The dog meat hot pot has woken up, so what do you think we should do!”

Zhang Su helplessly pointed to the Corgi.

Whimper.

Perhaps the term dog meat hot pot stimulated the Corgi, it bit Zhang Su’s shoulder, but gently, without any intent to harm, seemingly expressing dissatisfaction.

“Look at that, damn dog is biting people randomly, I’m so annoyed!”

Zhang Su grumpily pushed the dog’s head away.

Zheng Xinyu clicked her tongue while pulling the bag into her arms, then scolded, “You’re getting it cooked into hot pot, of course, it wouldn’t be happy. Corgis are smart, their intelligence ranks eleventh among dogs!”

“Alright, alright, smart, you teach it slowly then, I’m off.”

Zhang Su shook his head helplessly and got out of the car. Truth be told, he was quite glad the little pup woke up; life in the apocalypse was too stifling, having a dog boost the team’s mood is pretty nice, if it can really follow commands.

“Little doggie, he’s bad, let’s ignore him. Come to sis… Ow!”

Zheng Xinyu let the Corgi out of the bag, but it suddenly dashed out with Zhang Su to the outside, nimbly and with quite some force, even managing to hurt her thigh!

The Corgi got out and wagged its tail like an antenna, happily circling Zhang Su, its mouth wide open, tongue out, smiling broadly.

“What’s the point of following me? She’s your guardian. Go to her, go, go!”

Zhang Su grumped, kicking the Corgi lightly.

Zheng Xinyu walked out of the car chagrined, seeing the Corgi romping around Zhang Su, she pouted, “Ungrateful little guy, hadn’t it been for me you’d be hot pot by now, hmph!”

The Corgi seemed as if it really understood Zheng Xinyu’s words, suddenly sat down, tilting its head with a puzzled look, as if asking: Really?
