"Mr. Alex, take care."
In front of Star hotel, the hotel owner and the waiters lined up to see Alex off. They only went back after seeing Alex's van disappear around the corner of the street.
"Mr. Alex is really low-key. He is a billionaire, but he only drives a small van."
"He's so rich, but he actually abandoned his three friends and ran away last night. In the end it was us who called the police, and the remaining three people were able to settle the bill."
"I really don't understand how rich people think."
"Alright, alright, stop talking and do what you need to do."
"Oh, by the way, let me tell you, no matter what Mr. Alex asks for in the future, you guys can't refuse."
"Boss, we wanted to make a request to him, but he doesn't seem to be interested in us at all."
"Yeah, he's so young and a billionaire. If he makes any demands, we'll wake up laughing in our dreams."
"Oh, if he doesn't mention it again, I'll want to throw myself into his arms."
At the door, the waiters shook their heads and sighed and returned to the hotel.
At that time, Alex had parked the van on the side of the road and got into the cargo compartment at the back.
Not long after, he came out again. The cargo compartment, which was originally filled with many lunch boxes, was now empty.
He put all the food he had just bought into the storage space.
Tonight, he bought all the ingredients in the hotel and had the chef cook them all.
He planned to put the dishes in the cargo compartment just like he did last time when he ordered a thousand tables of banquet from other restaurants, and then he would go in and put them into the storage space.
Only in this way he can conceal his tracks from others.
…
"How about it?"
"Is there any movement from that boy?"
The next day, in the president's office of Titan Group, a middle-aged man was staring at the surveillance screen when Rebecca walked in.
The middle-aged man quickly stood up to greet her, to show respect, "Not yet...! Ever since those weapons and equipment were transported over, they have been placed in the yard. The kid just looked at them curiously for a while and never approached again."
"So, he really wants these things just to attract more customers on the opening day?"
Rebecca sat down at her desk and said suspiciously.
"It shouldn't be that simple."
"If it was just for show, he wouldn't have asked for so much ammunition."
"He asked for hundreds of thousands of rounds of weapons and ammunition all at once. He must have other intentions."
The middle-aged man frowned and shook his head firmly.
"By the way, based on the surveillance of the supermarket these days, I discovered something strange."
"There are dozens of trucks delivering goods every day. Logically, the warehouse on the first floor underground should have been full by now, right?"
"But there are still trucks delivering goods every day."
"It's a pity that there are only surveillance cameras in the yard and on the walls, not in the supermarket."
As if he had thought of something, the middle-aged man continued.
"I told him that we should install surveillance cameras in supermarkets, but he said he didn't want to spend the money."
"So it's never been installed."
"But the warehouse is not our concern."
"You just need to monitor that batch of weapons and equipment."
"If someone comes to take it, have your people take action immediately."
Rebecca waved her hand, and then spoke in an unquestionable tone.
Although this batch of equipment is not much, there is a lot of ammunition.
Moreover, those ten sets of individual combat robots are the country's cutting-edge military equipment. If anything goes wrong, she cannot bear the responsibility.
Therefore, she was not interested in warehouses or anything like that.
"Well… okay."
The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
He always felt that Alex was a little weird, but he couldn't remember exactly what was weird about him.
Seeing that there was nothing to do, Rebecca turned on the computer and started browsing the news.
Suddenly, a video shot by a passerby caught her attention.
It saw a pale white man suddenly knocked the female companion to the ground and then bit her neck.
The man's bloody mouth opened wide after biting the neck, and was captured by a passerby.
With a scream, the video footage stopped abruptly.
"Why does this look like a zombie from the game?"
Her eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and a trace of solemnity flashed across her beautiful face.
"Old man, let me show you a video."
After a moment of thought, she sent the video link to the middle-aged man.
"This is a video uploaded from the Internet. Most of them are self-directed and self-acted just to attract attention and traffic."
"Don't take it seriously."
After reading it, the middle-aged man shook his head disapprovingly.
"There are more and more biting incidents abroad."
"There are more than a thousand cases officially acknowledged by the United States."
"Some say it's because of drug abuse, some say it's a self-directed show, and some even say it's a zombie virus."
"If this continues, I'm afraid it will spread to our country."
"I wonder if we have paid attention to this situation abroad?"
Rebecca did not refute directly, but asked tentatively.
If there were only one or two incidents, it might be a prank by those unscrupulous self-media, but with so many incidents, it doesn't seem like they were directed or performed by themselves.
"Always paying attention."
"We even organized virologists to conduct research and analysis."
"But due to insufficient data and lack of samples, no conclusion has been drawn yet."
The middle-aged man shook his head.
"If it's the rumors, then it's nothing."
"But if it's really a zombie virus...?"
Rebecca muttered to herself, and suddenly, when she saw the surveillance footage of the supermarket, she was startled.
There are parking spaces behind Allmart Shopping Plaza and a small square in front.
It was originally planned and designed as a hypermarket.
However, after Alex bought it, he asked her to build a thick wall around it.
This wall is even taller than the prison wall.
For a business like a shopping mall, an open layout is definitely better.
This way you can park from all four directions.
But Alex surrounded it and only left a small door.
This doesn't look like an opening at all.
It's more like building a solid prison!
Or... a shelter!
'Is he preparing for a zombie infestation?'
Looking at the foreign news on the computer and then looking at the supermarket, she suddenly seemed to understand what Alex was going to do.
The weapons and equipment that were previously puzzling seem to be explainable now.
This guy seems to be making a shelter.
If the human-biting incidents were caused by a zombie virus, she would also build a fortress and hide herself in it to avoid infection.
Thinking of this, she grabbed her phone and was about to call Alex.
But soon, after a moment of hesitation, she put the phone down again.
Whether in games or movies, people who are bitten by zombies will also become zombies.
But there has been no such news on the Internet in recent days.
There were only incidents of people biting each other, but no news reports of people turning into zombies after being bitten.
Buzzz!
Just as she was hesitating whether to dial the number, her cell phone, which was set to vibrate, suddenly rang.
She picked it up and saw that it was Alex calling.
