43 An Eye for an Eye, In the Bag
Before leaving, Tang Susu took off her dress wistfully and changed into a neater set of casual outfits.
Meanwhile, the people downstairs were exchanging information about last night.
“Jin Dahai must have sent that person to investigate us to find out more about us. Not only does he want our supplies, but he also wants to get our weapons and seize control of all of us,” Tang Mingzhou said coldly.
“Ha! He can’t back his own ambitions up!”
“I guess he must have a shady history. He thinks he can do whatever he wants when the world ends,” Mr. Tang said with a hard expression on his face.
He had thought that his daughter was being too suspicious in the beginning, but now he knew he had underestimated some of their intentions!
“They’ll be even more cautious now that the ambush failed last night. We’ll have to be even more careful next time,” Tang susu walked over. “However, we can’t let them roll over us.”
The whole family looked at her expectantly. “What do you have in mind?”
Tang Susu narrowed her eyes as she smiled lovingly. “We shall return the favor!”
Tang Mingchu couldn’t help but shiver before rising to his feet. “You want to attack their residence?”
“That’s right.”
She didn’t ask her three brothers to accompany her this time around. Instead, she brought along her parents.
Tang Susu had to force them to do something outlandish. This was the end of times. Those who made no progress would be eliminated.
Mr. and Mrs. Tang didn’t say a word. They snagged their weapons and followed their daughter to a villa in the back.
Tang Susu took out her universal lock-picking toolkit she had been using and said, “Dad, I’ll leave this to you.”
Mr. Tang scratched his nose. He was a little hesitant, but his hands didn’t slow down in the slightest.
Clack!
He unlocked the padlock.
Tang Susu kicked the door open and antique furniture and decorations entered her eyes.
008 crowed excitedly like a rooster. [I’m rich, I’m rich!]
Tang Susu walked in and scrutinized her surroundings. After making sure that there was no danger, she then split up with her parents.
They went to gather supplies.
As for her, she would be gathering the riches.
Killing two birds with one stone!
Following the system’s instructions, Tang Susu took down an antique calligraphy painting hanging on the wall.
[This one is worth 10 million.]
She turned around and picked up a flower vase painted with a landscape.
[This is from the Kangxi era and it’s worth 80 million!]
A chessboard made of Phoebe zhennan wood and a purple clay teapot that was made during the Republic of China era and was no longer in production.
[These two are worth 30 million together!]
After taking almost everything that was worth something on the first floor, Tang Susu went to the second floor.
She pried open the locked study room and pulled out the locked drawer with ease.
[This is an antique calligraphy copybook worth 50 million!]
[The jade bangle in the box is worth 2 million!]
[The unpolished jade stone in the room’s corner is worth 10 million!]
Half an hour later, Tang Susu came out of the room, after she took everything that was worth anything.
[Congratulations! You have obtained 182 million wealth points.]
While Tang Susu had a great time, her parents returned empty-handed. “They either took the food or there was none in the first place.”
Mr. Tang was troubled about taking others’ supplies, thinking that was unbecoming of them.
The result proved that he was overthinking the situation.
The owners were no fools. They would have taken everything that was precious to them.
On the other hand, the antiques and paintings that were priceless before the apocalypse had become worthless. They could not even trade the antiques for a steamed bun.
However, all these worthless items could exchange all kinds of treasures for them. No matter how good a man Mr. Tang was, he couldn’t resist such a great temptation.
He entertained the thought for a long while before finally deciding to stay silent by asking his daughter to avoid taking everything.
He had no right to say that. At least, not before he had the power to give them a carefree life.
Tang Susu could sense that her kind father seemed to have learned something during the remaining journey. He became more active in “pillaging” instead of having to be pushed to do it.
After emptying a few other houses, Tang Susu eventually found the fat man’s residence, He Rui.
It was rumored to be a place containing countless pieces of jewelry and supplies from convenience stores!
