Chapter 158: Found Frozen Meat

Translator: Law Editor: Hitesh_
Solar power storage equipment was important in the post-apocalyptic era. After the apocalypse, lots of places didn’t have electricity or running water. However, solar power generation equipment allowed people to use all kinds of electrical appliances. Therefore, solar power equipment had been especially precious in all bases.
If any zombie-hunting squad brought a set of solar power equipment back and gave it to their base, they would be treated well.
Of course, they were allowed to keep the equipment for themselves.
Hearing Xing Le say that they had found solar power equipment, the people in the room had their eyes glowing.
“Can it work?” Lin Feng immediately stood up from the chair and asked in surprise.
“The others are working on it,” said Xing Le.
“Did you find any freezer or cold storage?” Lin Feng asked.
“Not yet…” Xing Le shook his head and responded. Hearing that, the others were a little disappointed.
They were running short of food. They still had some food stored in Lin Wenwen’s space, but they wouldn’t be able to last half a month with that food. During the past month, while heading to the Sea City Base and avoiding Yang Jianhua, they had consumed a large part of the food they had in reserve.
So at the moment, they needed to arrive at the Sea City Base as quickly as possible, and also find some food.
They didn’t dare to eat any plants as ninety percent of them had been infected by the virus. Therefore, they were mainly looking for cured, dried, and frozen food which were left from the old world.
“Tell Lin Hao and Du Yuanxing to look carefully. This is a large hotel. It even has solar power equipment, so there’s no reason for it not to have any freezer.” Lin Feng said.
“Yes, sir!” Xing Le responded hurriedly.
“Go!” Lin Feng said, some slight hope filling his heart. Hearing that, Xing Le closed the door and left the room.
It took quite a while for Lin Hao to finally find the cold storage of this hotel which was used for keeping cured food, dried food, and frozen food. But, the problem was that he and his people weren’t able to open it.
That was because the electrical equipment in the cold storage was still running.
The manager of this hotel powered the cold storage with the solar energy equipment to prevent a sudden power outage. In addition, they had also installed electrical storage devices, so extra electricity could be stored for the cold storage to keep running during the rainy days.
However, as the cold storage was still energized, it was protected by an encryption lock. No one among the group had the skills to unlock it, so they were now waiting by the door of the cold storage anxiously.
At last, Du Yuanxing suddenly thought of Long Qingying. She had metal power, and the door of the cold storage was made from metal. She must know how to open it.
As he had expected, Long Qingying directly cut off the five-centimeters-thick alloy door by simply putting her hands on it.
Seeing her open the door so easily, the group of men fell in silence.
Once the door was opened, a freezing stream of air came out along with white mist, making the people outside shiver.
They walked in and found that the cold storage was large, at least a hundred meters squared. Several freezers were placed in it in a straight line, next to piles of ice blocks.
The group of people burst into laughter when they saw the pile of boxes full of iced fishes and the pork hanging next to them.
Clearly, no one had entered this cold storage in a long time. Many stored foods in there seemed to be untouched. They hadn’t opened the freezers to check the food in them, but they found two horizontal steel tubes in the innermost area of the cold storage, and hanging on the steel tubes were fourteen or fifteen half pigs. It meant that they had found seven, maybe eight, butchered pigs in this place, which were all still frozen!
In the middle of the cold storage were a series of boxes containing fishes, separated by layers of ice blocks.
A dozen boxes of frozen fishes of different kinds were found.
Back in the old world, many restaurants had live fishes in water tanks for the guests to choose from, but they might not serve the exact same fish that they got out of the water in front of the customer.
The people opened the freezers and found some chicken, duck, and beef.
Du Yuanxing couldn’t help but widely open his mouth and stare at all the frozen food with shining eyes. “These will last us a long time.”
Long Qingying blandly glanced around, then turned back and asked, “Have you found rice or flour?”
“Yes!” Lin Hao responded, “Down there in the storage. The rice in this hotel is well-packed, all good and edible.”
The group of people was surprised to find so much food from this hotel building. Even better, the solar power equipment allowed them to cook directly in the kitchen.
Even though there was no running water, they could melt some ice from this cold storage.
“Should we thank that zombie who told us to come here? If it weren’t for him, we’d have gone somewhere else.”
“Yeah, yeah!”
“Is this place out of the way? Haven’t Sea City Base people searched this area?”
“It might be. But, I didn’t think that this small town would actually have such a fancy hotel. Aren’t we lucky?”
“Definitely! The meat in this cold storage is all good, and so is the rice!”
They made themselves a dinner in the kitchen of the hotel, still waiting for the two zombies after that.
The next morning, Lin Qiao came out of her space.
However, before she could go to the hotel to check on Lin Feng and his people, she found something approaching. That zombie was still at a distance, yet she didn’t plan to let it get near to the hotel.
She made herself invisible and moved in that direction for about a mile, then saw a swift figure leaping over the roofs of a series of small buildings.
Every high-level zombie had their territory. Lin Feng and his people weren’t in this zombie’s territory, but as the zombie was pretty close to them, it had faintly sensed their scents.
So, in the morning, it charged straight at the hotel. But to its surprise, it was forced to stop just as it was getting closer and closer to its prey.
Lin Qiao was guarding on the zombie’s path after measuring its speed and route. This zombie used to be a young man at his twenties, but by now, it had become a ferocious zombie leader. Yet, Lin Qiao didn’t sense any pressure from it.
She found two adjoining buildings, one tall and one small. The zombie was going to leap onto the roof of the small building from the tall one, so Lin Qiao squatted on the small building’s roof, waiting for it to come.
As the zombie leader leaped down from above her head, Lin Qiao suddenly came out of her space and sprung up, then raised her claws high and swung toward the zombie which was still in mid-air.
