Chapter 90 - Going Home To Surf The Internet
Wang Ran nudged Su Xiaoyu and Lin Momo’s heads.
Both of them at once?
It seemed that he was really hungry.
“Master, why did we bring back so many cigarettes?”
Lin Momo looked at the back of the car and asked,
“To non-smokers, it’s nothing much.
“But to smokers, it’s hard currency.
“Go back and store them in a room with air-conditioning, so they don’t get wet,”
Wang Ran smiled.
Cigarettes had to be traded out little by little.
If he traded them in bulk, they would not be worth much.
If he offered too little of it at a time…
More people would be forced to quit smoking.
Demand would plummet all the same. It took some skills to balance this.
“By the way, how’s everything in the base while I was away?”
Wang Ran asked.
“Don’t worry, Master. The girls in the flight attendant class treat this place as heaven. They’re making sure it remains that way.
“There’s no need to prod them. They’ll take the initiative to do the extra cleaning.
“Oh, there’s the matter of that Sugar Mommy Tang Tang. She’s a bit lazy.
“She just eats, drinks, and plays games every day.”
Lin Momo snitched.
“It’s fine. That’s precisely why she’s our Sugar Mommy. I’m collecting rent from her.
“It’s one gold bar a day right now. That’s nothing to her.
“When she gets used to this place, I’ll increase the price to ten a day.
“She’ll be squeezed dry very soon.”
Wang Ran smiled.
This was like a free mobile game. First, it would attract you to play, and then force you to spend money when you couldn’t stop.
“Master, that’s awesome!”
Lin Momo’s eyes were full of stars.
“Oh right, we can’t relax on the security.”
Wang Ran reminded her.
The motorcycle he had seen at the beach had always made Wang Ran feel a little uncomfortable.
Should I set up some roadblocks on the road by the sea?
Sigh, that’s a good idea.
Since he had claimed the entire place, the road was his.
It was very reasonable to set up a few electric roadblocks and probes.
This way, if a vehicle were to approach, they would know at once.
If surveillance cameras were installed along the road, the number of aerial surveillance drones could be appropriately reduced.
Not bad, not bad. I’ll go back and talk to the security guard… no, the Head of Security, Zhao Dong, about this.
He studied Computer Science, so installing surveillance cameras should be within his scope of expertise.
Soon, Wang Ran returned to the island.
After helping his lackeys unload the goods, Wang Ran returned to the villa and took a hot shower.
Today’s battle had been rather satisfying… even though it was a one-sided massacre.
“Where exactly do I stand right now…”
“There were the regular Awakeneds, then those pus-drinking freaks who were a step above them, and I’m a step above those guys, so if that’s the extent of the power-scale, I’m a Third-Rank or something?”
Wang Ran felt a little helpless.
He only knew that he was strong enough to kill them in seconds… all of them.
It had been really hard to tell just where the strength disparity was.
He could at the very least tell the difference between Xiaoyu and Momo by the color of their pupils.
What about Awakened Ones?
What would be the indication?
“Let’s go online and check the posts later.”
That forum has been quite useful.
The power outage is coming soon. I don’t know how many more days I can use the internet.
After Wang Ran took a shower, he immediately put on a bathrobe for convenience.
There was no need to be afraid of power outages on the island, but he would not be able to do anything about the internet.
Now, he could only turn on his computer every day and try his best to farm for resources.
Wang Ran took a bottle of iced coke and sat on the sofa in the villa. He used his laptop to browse the forum.
[Shocking!] [The Bloodfang Camp is feeding the survivors zombie meat!]
This post was right on top.
“There’s a post already?”
Wang Ran couldn’t help but smile as he clicked on the post.
According to the latest news, it has been reported that the bottom-level survivors of the Bloodfang Camp were given zombie meat (not very fresh) to eat.
“The death rate is up to 50%,
“Fortunately, this evil camp has been destroyed in one fell swoop!
“It is said that an awakened by the name of Wu Jianguo single-handedly slaughtered more than thirty Awakened Ones from the Bloodfang Camp.”
“Magnificent!”
Wang Ran smiled and looked in the direction of the villas.
Wu Jianguo probably had no idea what’s coming his way.
Wang Ran continued to browse the posts.
Suddenly, he felt someone climb onto his leg.
He looked away from the computer and saw that it was Xiaoyu and Momo.
They were probably really hungry.
Master, continue to surf the internet. Don’t mind us.
Su Xiaoyu had just washed her hair and tied it up in Wang Ran’s favorite bun.
Lin Momo had tied her hair into a slanted ponytail.
They all had hairstyles that made it easy for their meals.
Wang Ran nodded and placed the computer on his stomach.
Xiaoyu and Momo started to get busy, and Wang Ran continued searching for posts.
[The division of strength between Zombies and Awakened]
Wang Ran’s eyes lit up.
He finally found what he wanted to see.
This post was posted by the moderator of the forum. He had posted many popular informative posts before, and they were mostly accurate, so he had proven himself rather credible.
“Zombies can be classified according to their ranks.
“One, ordinary zombies. It feeds on the flesh and blood of any living being, and when it’s extremely hungry, it will eat other zombies.
“If they don’t eat for a long time, they will gradually lose their mobility, but their vitality is much stronger than ordinary humans.
“Two, Mutant Zombies. evolved zombies that appear under special conditions. Their special characteristics are that their pupils have a circle of silver, and when their strength is further enhanced, it will turn into gold.
“They are more common in places with a high population density. According to speculation, there’s a high probability of mutation after eating a large number of humans or zombies.
“Mutated Zombies are powerful and have a degree of self-awareness. They’re very difficult to deal with.
“Some of the Mutated Zombies have evolved and gained some special abilities.”
“For example, the ability to jump like frogs, the ability to spray corrosive venom, super strength, sharp claws, and so on.
“When normal people encounter Mutated Zombies, they have almost no chance of survival.
“Three, high-level Mutant Zombies. Sightings have been reported in several countries.
“They’re extremely powerful, have full sentience, and develop have their own strategies. At the same time, they can also control other zombies… Including the Mutant Zombies.
“These beings will occupy a fixed base and continue to develop their strength.”
“Without a certain amount of military power or a large number of Awakened Ones, it would be difficult to fight them.
“Fourth, Corpse Emperors. At this point, it is only a personal speculation.
“They had not shown up yet, but we cannot rule out that possibility.
“They will have the power to level small countries.
“Among the zombie ranks, there should still be some transitional sub-ranks. There is no clear data to distinguish them.
“Due to the ban on guns in our country, we have had a hard time arming ourselves.
“We can only rely on the Awakened to fight against Mutated Zombies…”
