Wasteland: I Awakened A Plant System

The four of them walked upstairs simultaneously, and it had to be said that the house lived up to its reputation as a villa; its decor and spaciousness were quite luxurious.

The second floor alone had four rooms and a small hall.

It was a pity that while such a villa was excellent on Earth, it was completely incapable of withstanding disasters in the Wasteland World.

Otherwise, Vikram would have wanted to directly put this villa into his backpack and take it away.

After a simple search, it was fortunate that the Survivors downstairs had only just arrived before them, and some valuable items were still in their original places.

After several searches, all the valuable supplies were now in Vikram’s pocket.

After confirming that they had enough, the four of them went downstairs.

Below, Harry and the others were still bewildered, watching Vikram collect the supplies they had found first, yet not daring to say anything.

“Add me as a contact. Think it over carefully, and message me when you’ve made up your mind.” Raising an eyebrow, the two of them added each other as friends face-to-face.

Afterward, Vikram left the villa with the three ladies.

Watching their figures gradually disappear into the white snow, the group was somewhat incredulous.

Although most of the more valuable items in the house had been cleared out by them, there were still plenty of supplies left.

At this stage, these supplies were no less valuable than those appliances.

Now, they were just casually left for their group, which naturally left them dumbfounded.

“Harry bro, this Vikram’s Shelter must be really powerful; otherwise, how could he just casually leave these supplies behind?”

“Indeed, just the various materials in the building alone are enough for us for a long time, not to mention other furniture and such.”

The two Survivors following Harry said, one after another.

Hearing the envy in their voices, he slowly spoke, “What’s wrong? Are you planning to abandon an old man like me and turn to this young man instead?”

“How could that be? We were just talking. Besides, even if we did join him, of course we’d bring you along, old man.”

“Alright, I’ll seriously consider the Survivor’s proposal from earlier when I get back.”

“As for now, you two should honestly collect the remaining supplies in this house.”

“Lest other Survivors come looking for them.” Pointing at the two, Harry said indifferently.

“Understood!”

He himself walked out of the house, looking at the falling snow, his gaze gradually lost in thought.

“Harry, what do you think about that young man’s proposal earlier?” Harry’s wife, Ginny followed him out and asked softly from behind.

Seeing that he didn’t respond, she continued, “I think we should join that young man’s Shelter. He doesn’t seem like a bad person.”

“Our shelter only has four people right now. Joining his Shelter with more members would be good for mutual care.”

“I heard that the large shelters nearby have started collecting protection fees again these past few days. This area is becoming more and more unsafe.”

“Joining a shelter early would also prevent us from always being so passive.”

Facing his wife’s suggestion from behind, Harry had, of course, thought the same, but ultimately he hadn’t made up his mind… On the other side, after leaving the villa, Vikram, the three ladies and two Druids walked about a hundred meters.

Once the rain and snow obscured their vision, he leisurely summoned the RV. The three of them entered the RV one by one. Because the time for items stored in the backpack was static.

As a result, when they got back into the car, the RV still had residual warmth.

“Vikram, why did you leave some supplies for them? We could have taken everything, couldn’t we?” Feeling the warmth in the car, Anjali expressed her previous confusion.

“It’s simple. Today’s exploration for new resources shows that these buildings will gradually appear later.”

“The ordinary items in these houses will most likely become so abundant later that we won’t be able to pick them all up. It’s better to leave them for people like those today, just to build good karma.”

“The number of members in the territory will definitely increase later, and those few are among the candidates I’m quite satisfied with.”

While speaking, his hands never stopped moving. Gripping the steering wheel, Vikram slowly increased the car’s speed in the snow.

“Ah?”

“Are those people from today going to become our new members?” Divya, sitting in the passenger seat, asked with some surprise.

“That’s still a long way off. First, it’s uncertain if they’ll agree.”

“Even if they agree, letting them join my territory will require some assessment and familiarization.”

Hearing about assessments and such, Anjali asked again, “Then why didn’t we have an assessment when we joined your territory?”

“That’s different. You three were saved by me with great effort, and I had already gotten to know you, so of course there was no test.”

“When future members join the territory, you two will be considered founding members. Aren’t you happy?”

“Wow! Then is there any reward for me, a founding member?”

“Yes, the reward is to share a room and sleep in the same bed with the territory Leader, which you have already gotten,” Staring at Anjali in the rearview mirror, Vikram joked.

“Get lost! That’s a reward for you, you pervert!”

Laughter filled the car. Although Vikram seemed to be out for a leisurely drive with beautiful women, he actually had other tasks.

The purpose of driving was also very clear: to head towards the nearby water source on the map.

He hadn’t forgotten about collecting fish, and if possible, it would be even more perfect if he could also bring back a few livestock to the Shelter.

However, his luck today seemed to have been spent on finding that small villa.

Along the way, near the water source, Vikram didn’t see a single living creature.

Besides the occasional zombie appearing in his vision, there were only a few zombie animals.

This result somewhat disappointed him.

Fortunately, although he hadn’t found any livestock, the water source appeared in the minivan’s front windshield first.

It was a lake of considerable size, surrounded by mountains on three sides. The position where Vikram drove the minivan in should be the only entrance near the water source.

Before reaching the water source, he still followed his old routine: getting out of the car beforehand, hiding it, and then approaching on foot.

But he hadn’t walked many steps before he stopped, causing Divya and Anjali to also halt in their tracks.

Since going out a few times, he had long developed the good habit of constantly monitoring his biological detection, and this time was no exception.

The detection showed that there were no zombies here. No zombies at a water source would normally be a good thing.

But this time, there were no zombies within a radius of three to four hundred meters, which was a bit strange.

According to the current zombie generation density, this situation shouldn’t occur.

Unless something here was constantly eliminating the nearby zombies.

This was also the main reason he stopped.

Before understanding the specific situation, he still decided it was better to be cautious.

Just as he was still intently watching the detection, he noticed that at some unknown point, several red dots had suddenly appeared not far behind him…
