In this neighborhood, named "Fulou Community", located in the second satellite city, it's known as one of the famous high-rise residential areas.
Each building has dozens of floors and houses a significant number of residents!
However, the people living here are not exactly wealthy, and unlike villa communities that band together, they are more dispersed.
Some have gone to official shelters, some to shelters provided by major corporations, and some have organized their own shelters.
Currently, the remaining people in the community are part of a small shelter organization.
It's not professional, but the various rudimentary shelters help each other out and have managed to live there peacefully.
And Sam's contact is the owner of one of these rudimentary shelters,
named Xu Zheng!
"Building 13, Road B! This is the place!"
Sam found his destination, looked around, and following the contact method mentioned on the forum, he rang a modified alarm, which now served as a "doorbell", at the base of the building.
The alarm, clearly modified, lit up...
Room 5, 30th floor of Building 13.
Xu Zheng, looking haggard and pale with hunger, lay on the couch.
Suddenly, the sound of "beep-woop-beep-woop" rang out.
"Someone rang the doorbell?"
Xu Zheng frowned, rubbed his stomach hurriedly, and got up to answer the call device.
It was a landline phone, connected to the device downstairs.
"Hello?"
Downstairs, Sam asked, "Is this Xu Zheng? I'm Invincible Son. I've come to deliver the key as agreed. Have you prepared the goods?"
What he and Xu Zheng had agreed on was to exchange a key for some supplies today.
A set of precision tools!
Sam's shelter had forgotten to prepare these, and he planned to get some machining equipment to upgrade into a "weapon printer" - a kind of black technology item.
"Invincible Son..."
Xu Zheng was momentarily confused, then immediately remembered who it was!
He had contacted Invincible Son on the forum before, intending to exchange a set of precision machining equipment that he didn't need for the shelter system key from Sam!
But the disconnection of the satellite signal made him think the deal was off, Unexpectedly, the other party still came over!
Could it be... he hadn't encountered any robbers?
Xu Zheng looked around his room, which had already been robbed clean, and let out a bitter laugh.
However, since the plunderers couldn't understand the value of the machining equipment and didn't take it, this trade seemed feasible!
After some thought, Xu Zheng, sounding somewhat feeble, said, "May I boldly ask if you could bring up some food and drinks?"
Sam replied, "Food and drinks? Sure!"
Xu Zheng said, "Thank you, I'm in room 5 on the 30th floor, the stuff is in the room!"
Sam responded, "Hmm."
After hanging up the call, Xu Zheng swallowed his saliva and looked outside the window.
He saw Sam and noticed Sam walking back and forth on the RV.
That huge, modified RV undoubtedly made Xu Zheng envious.
Especially because it might have a lot of supplies...
A thought suddenly crossed his mind!
In this damned world, the honest ones are always bullied, If you don't rob others, you'll be robbed by others!
Perhaps...
After some thought, Xu Zheng recalled the moment he was robbed, gritting his teeth in silent resentment.
On the other hand, Sam took the items and went upstairs.
Since the elevator was out of service, he had to take the stairs.
30 floors, It was sheer torture!
But it was his own arrangement, so he had to follow through even if it made him cry.
Sam could only grit his teeth and climb up to the 30th floor.
By the time he arrived at the 30th floor, he was already gasping for breath, He leaned against the wall to rest for a while, Then found room number 5 and knocked on the door.
"Squeak—!"
The door opened, Revealing a haggard and pale face.
"Invincible Son? Please come in!"
Xu Zheng looked weak as he opened the door.
Sam frowned, took a look inside, and exclaimed in surprise, "This place..."
"You must find it laughable, I... was just robbed."
Xu Zheng gave a bitter smile, eyeing the instant noodles and mineral water in Sam's hands, swallowing his saliva.
Sam clicked his tongue, noticed his gaze, smiled, and handed over the items.
"Thank you! Thank you!"
Xu Zheng exhaled, didn't even bother boiling the water, tore open the packaging, added some seasoning, and started eating the dry noodles with mineral water.
After a while, he almost finished a whole cup of noodles and finally let out a big sigh of relief.
Looking up, He saw Sam quietly waiting on the side, feeling a bit embarrassed, he said, "Sorry for making you wait! Come, this way!"
"Those looters didn't recognize this set of tools, too lazy to take it with them!"
Saying so, He led Sam to a secondary bedroom.
It had turned into a small storage room, clearly ransacked, in complete disarray.
In the corner, quietly sat a red toolbox, Inside, besides some small tools, There was also a precision machining device!
"Goodness, it's quite heavy!"
Sam picked it up, clicking his tongue.
The toolbox weighed at least fifty pounds!
However, this also showed that the technology in this era was much more advanced than in the past.
