26 Gain

After finishing his words, Waldo turned around and ran far away, leaving Mia alone in the ring of fire.

Mia was furious, scratching her head in place, shouting towards the direction Waldo had gone: "10086, you wait for me!!"

Waldo naturally heard Mia's voice, but he didn't even look back and continued running towards the warehouse where the golden-level supplies were stored.

Waldo had no interest in releasing a woman who had tried to harm him.Leaving her with her life was already the extent of his kindness.If it were someone else, they might be worried about possible retaliation from Mia and simply kill her.

However, although Waldo didn't act directly, he didn't believe that Mia could survive in such a ring of fire.

With the fire spreading, it was only a matter of time before she was burned to death.

Waldo reached the warehouse where the zombies had gathered, furrowing his brow at the scene inside.

It was a large single-story warehouse with limited space to maneuver.Waldo looked around at the surrounding trees and made a decision.The zombies roamed aimlessly inside and outside the warehouse.They instinctively gathered here, wanting to stay close to the golden-level supply box.

It was this supply box that had already provided them with several satisfying meals.

Mia was not the first to sell information.Or rather, her information was not exclusively provided to Waldo.Before Waldo, Mia had already contacted many survivors and groups.

However, those people had all ended up as food for the zombies.Mia took advantage of the situation to collect information rewards and the supplies dropped by the deceased survivors.

This time, Mia had expected Waldo to also fail in his attempt.If she lost her life, she could take advantage of the situation and scavenge the spoils.

But she didn't expect that the one who always walks by the river would eventually get their shoes wet, falling into Waldo's trap.

Clang!

The noise outside the warehouse attracted the attention of the zombies, and they growled lowly, moving closer to investigate.

Then, a loud explosion sent the zombies flying.More zombies rushed out of the warehouse.The loud noise was caused by the grenades that Waldo had thrown to attract the attention of the zombies.

Immediately after, Waldo threw two gasoline canisters with force.

As they flew into the midst of the zombie horde, the bottles attached to the gasoline exploded upon impact, igniting the gasoline canisters and rapidly creating a sea of fire.

It wasn't that Waldo didn't want to ignite the gasoline cans with a gun, but he wasn't confident in his marksmanship at the moment.

So attaching the incendiary bottles was a safer option.

While the zombies were drawn to the sea of fire, Waldo quietly circled around and entered the warehouse through a window at the back.

Even though most of the zombies stayed outside the warehouse, there were still quite a few around the supply box.

Waldo's actions outside the warehouse were just a diversion; what he really wanted was to silently steal the supply box.It was undoubtedly a risky move.

If it weren't for Waldo obtaining the gasoline today, this plan wouldn't have been feasible either.Once inside the warehouse, the zombies immediately noticed his presence and charged straight at him.

Without any panic, Waldo took out a gasoline canister and opened the lid.

He ran while carrying the gasoline canister, with the zombies chasing him from behind.

Waldo poured the gasoline onto the floor, one canister after another.

By the time the entire warehouse floor was soaked with gasoline, the zombies outside finally realized that there was a living person inside the warehouse.The zombies began to rush back.

Waldo, seeing this,dropped the gasoline canister and pulled out a large machete, charging in the direction of the supply box, cutting down several zombies on the way.

Then, he touched the golden-level supply box with his hand.Without even having a clear look at what was inside, he immediately put the supply box into his backpack.

Immediately after, he quickly jumped out of the same window he had entered from.Seemingly because the supply box had been taken, the zombies became even more frenzied and increased their speed in pursuit.

Waldo looked at the zombies chasing after him and took out a Molotov cocktail.

Goodbye!

Waldo threw the Molotov cocktail into the warehouse.As the flames erupted and ignited the gasoline on the ground, the entire warehouse quickly turned into a massive furnace.

Now, the golden-level supply box was finally in his hands.Waldo quickly distanced himself from the warehouse.Before he could run far, the warehouse suddenly exploded, unleashing waves of intense heat.

Watching the experience bar continuously increase, Waldo knew that this time he should have a chance to level up.

[Gained 1 experience]

[Congratulations, survivor, you've leveled up! Keep up the good work!]

Level: 5 (0/500)

Strength: 20

Agility: 12

Stamina: Normal

Surprisingly, all five points were added to his weakest attribute, agility. This was unexpected for Waldo. With his increased stats, he even felt like his reaction speed was so fast that he could instantly sense the mosquitoes around him and squash them.

And it didn't stop there. The experience continued to rise.

[Gained 1 experience]

Not bad, not bad. Waldo satisfactorily closed his personal information panel.

Next, he took out the golden-level supply box that he had risked his life to obtain just now. He wanted to see what good items he could get from it.

Looking at the golden-level supply box, which was clearly superior in quality compared to the bronze and silver ones, Waldo gently touched it and murmured to himself, "Please give me something good. Let me exchange three minutes, no, three days of my life for some incredible luck. Please!"

As his hand touched the lock of the supply box, a system interface appeared, displaying an open icon. He clicked on it.

Having opened numerous supply boxes before, this was the first time Waldo was opening a golden-level one, and he couldn't help but feel excited and nervous.

In that moment of opening, Waldo closed his eyes and kept chanting, "Come on! Come on!!"

After about half a minute, Waldo slowly opened his eyes and clicked to receive the items from the supply box.

[Successfully opened golden-level supply box]

[Obtained Gasoline Generator × 1]

[Obtained Exquisite Bread × 50]

[Obtained Purified Water × 99]

[Obtained Worn-out Jetta × 1]

Waldo was stunned. He didn't expect that the golden-level supply box would contain a gasoline generator. What surprised him even more was the presence of a car!

Waldo took out the car from his backpack, opened the fuel tank cap, and added gasoline. Then, he sat in the driver's seat, adjusting to a comfortable position and happily touching the steering wheel.

You see, he was once a skilled driver, having worked as an unregistered taxi driver for a long time during his college days. Now that he had a car, the regional barriers of the apocalyptic world seemed to have little effect.

Moreover, the car's engine noise wasn't too loud. As long as the road was clear, even if it attracted the attention of some zombies, he could quickly drive away. Compared to the convenience it brought, the associated risks could be completely ignored.

Just as Waldo was immersed in the joy of having a car, he noticed that several zombies had surprisingly survived near the warehouse and were now running towards him. Waldo wanted to test the performance of the car, so he directly started it.

The engine emitted a low growl. Waldo looked at the approaching zombies not far away and slowly raised the car window, letting out a cold snort.

"You got lucky this time. I'm in a hurry to drive home, so I won't kill you."

Waldo released the handbrake, shifted gears smoothly, and to his surprise, the car started shaking violently, and the engine stalled.

Waldo cursed inside the car, "Damn, it's been too long since I drove a manual transmission. I released the clutch too quickly."
