Apocalypse: Infinite Supplies System

Chapter 29: In the future, we can take showers

Alex was very satisfied with today's gains.

He had only used a few bottles of water and a few pieces of bread in exchange for the coordinates of the golden-tier supply crate.

There was no need to follow through with any further transactions.

After all, Emma had used him as bait.

How could Alex possibly keep his promise to deliver the remaining supplies to her?

In this exchange, Emma had clearly come out at a loss.

And obtaining the golden-tier supply crate, which even contained a gasoline generator, was the most pleasant surprise for Alex.

Having just acquired an unlimited supply of gasoline today, and now having a gasoline generator immediately afterward, Alex felt like he was on cloud !

In this apocalyptic world, having electricity was incredibly important.

Within the fortified walls, electricity could be used for surveillance cameras, alarm systems, water heaters...

With the car, Alex quickly returned to the villa district.

He had set out today after only eating two large steamed buns, riding for nearly four to five hours to reach the coordinates of the golden supply crate.

This time, his return journey took less than two hours.

When he reached the fortified walls, Alex lightly honked the horn.

Mia in the villa was startled.

She quickly ran up to the second-floor balcony, holding a crossbow, ready to shoot if things seemed amiss.

Only when Alex stuck his head out of the car window and waved did Mia joyfully run downstairs to open the gates of the fortified walls.

After closing the gate, Alex parked the car in the garage and didn't immediately retrieve his backpack.

At that moment, Mia ran out, astonished, and looked at the car.

"Oh my God, Alex, how did you manage to get a car on this trip? Let me guess, you got the golden-tier supply crate and drove it out, right?" she exclaimed.

Alex laughed heartily and pulled her to the side of the car.

"What do you think? Do you like it? With a car, our travels will be much more convenient," he said.

Mia nodded happily.

"Of course, I love it! With this car, collecting supplies will be much easier. And most importantly, I can go out and collect supplies with you. One of us can drive, and the other can hunt," she replied.

Alex rewarded her with 300 experience points directly.

Checking Mia's personal panel, indeed, Mia had also leveled up.

ID: 9527 Level: 4 (0/400)

Strength: 10 Agility: 15 Stamina: Energetic

From the panel values, Mia's physical fitness was already quite good.

Alex felt reassured to take her out to collect supplies together.

After all, keeping Mia confined to the villa area without any real combat experience with zombies wasn't good for her.

Alex grabbed Mia and covered her eyes.

"Mia, don't look at the car yet. You can drive it later and have fun. Now, I'll show you a big surprise."

Mia became curious with Alex's mysterious demeanor.

"What's so mysterious? And why do I have to cover my eyes?" she asked.

Alex covered Mia's eyes with one hand and took out the gasoline generator from his backpack with the other.

Then, he removed his hand covering her eyes.

"What do you think this is?" Alex pointed at the gasoline generator, his face filled with joy.

However, Mia looked puzzled.

"What is this thing? A lawnmower?" she asked.

Alex clicked his tongue in disappointment.

He had wanted to surprise Mia, but he didn't expect her not to recognize the gasoline generator.

Alex rubbed Mia's hair playfully and then explained, "Hey, you little silly. This is a gasoline generator. We'll have electricity in the future."

"A gasoline generator?!" Mia exclaimed, her eyes lighting up.

Ignoring her disheveled hair from Alex's rubbing, she continued excitedly, "Alex, does that mean we can use electric lights now?"

Alex looked at Mia's jubilant expression and indulgently said, "Can't you be a bit more ambitious? Think bigger, what else can we do?"

Mia fell into thought, biting her finger, unable to come up with any other ideas.

Suddenly, an idea struck her.

"I know! We can install surveillance cameras and alarms on the perimeter wall!" she exclaimed.

Naturally, what Mia said was also what Alex planned to do later.

Installing surveillance cameras and alarms on the perimeter wall was a necessary task.

Alex had discovered it earlier.

Inside the villa, there were complete alarm systems and surveillance cameras.

The only problem was the lack of electricity, which rendered them unusable.

However, Mia's answer was not what Alex was expecting.

He extended his finger and lightly tapped Mia's forehead, shaking his head with a smile.

"Miss Mia, haven't you felt uncomfortable not taking a bath for several days?" Alex asked.

Mia grumbled at the mention of bathing, "Of course it's uncomfortable. I always feel sticky all over..."

"Didn't you think that with the gasoline generator, we could use a water heater to take a proper bath?" Alex interjected.

Indeed, Mia hadn't considered that aspect.

After all, water was a precious survival resource in the post-apocalyptic world.

People were reluctant to drink it, let alone use it for bathing.

Originally, she had thought that when the opportunity arose, she could bathe by the river or on rainy days.

But she hadn't expected that in this post-apocalyptic world, natural water resources were undrinkable and harmful to the body.

As for rain, it was acid rain.

This naturally dashed Mia's hopes.

So, upon hearing Alex's words, Mia felt somewhat helpless.

"We can generate electricity, but we also need water to take a bath. It's too wasteful to use precious water resources for bathing," she said.

Alex took several cases of mineral water from his backpack. "We have enough water pipes for that, so you don't need to worry. But we can't waste it too much. From now on, we'll bathe once every three days!"

"Really?" Mia exclaimed excitedly, hugging Alex and kissing him on the cheek. "Alex, you're the best!"

Then, Mia rushed into the villa, grabbing some clean clothes and heading straight to the bathroom.

Alex couldn't help but feel amused and exasperated.

"The gasoline generator hasn't even been installed yet..." he muttered to himself.
