“Ah, later on we can just regulate the splitting. Brother Liu just got an ID card, that should be the one to open the door right? The building has a steel door that requires an ID card before it can open.” Wang Chao quickly explained.
“Yeah yeah! What’s the rush?” Other players chimed in to help pacify the situation.
Aside from Liu Zhi Gang who had acted recklessly, all of the others knew the severe consequences that would come about if they angered Liu Gan. In a post-apocalyptic world, whoever was right was judged by whoever’s fist was hardest. It was no longer judged by who was more correct or just. Liu Gan had just demonstrated that he was the strongest. At the very least he was above these players, so no one dared test Liu Gan’s patience.
Liu Gan simply glanced at them, but didn’t say anything. He simply walked over to the building’s doorway with ID card in hand. The building’s entrance was still on an electrical grid, so after swiping the card on the doorway, the red light turned green. The steel door automatically slid apart on both sides.
The large lobby inside the building was searched, but nothing was discovered. Surprisingly there was no presence of any variant zombies, nor were there any unique zombies. There weren’t any high tech goods, unique equipments or even special medicines.
The first floor lobby only had a door in the back that led straight into a rear courtyard. As everyone passed through the lobby into the rear courtyard… The rear courtyard was spectacular. It occupied an abnormally large area. There were at least a dozen factories that were all equally tall at ten stories high. There were noises coming from a certain direction along with booming sounds. It sounded like the operation of machinery.
Within the large area of the courtyard, there was still not a single living thing. Not even a zombie could be found.
“Well… Brother Zhang, with so much ground to cover, perhaps we should split up and search. Finder’s keepers. Whoever finds it, can keep it. How do you feel about that?” Wang Chao suggested to Zhang ShengLi.
If Zhang ShengLi agreed to the proposition, this would be favorable to Wang Chao. In terms of strength, they were all weaker than the three of them. If they fought it out for the treasures, then the losing side would be Wang Chao. However, by splitting up the teams Wang Chao would have a higher chance of finding treasures because of the advantage he held by having more people to search.
“Okay. Let's do it your way.” Zhang ShengLi agreed, after discussing with Liu Gan.
To have a higher chance of finding treasure, Wang Chao split the six people into three groups. They would work together in pairs. Their mission was to search faster than Liu Gan’s group. Liu Gan’s group didn't split up at all, and they remained grouped up together as they headed into the building areas.
The main concern for not splitting up was that this was a secret laboratory, and nothing was known about the danger that lurked in the shadows. It was hard to tell where the hidden dangers and traps were. If the three of them stuck together, at least one of them could help in the nick of time.
Wang Chao’s team strength was already weak to begin with. After they split up, they were even weaker. Even if there were treasures, it was doubtful if they could take them. If they set off any troublesome issues, then it would buy enough time for Liu Gan’s group to escape.
