Chapter 0552 Strange House

Old John's home was a little dilapidated. It was a small wooden house built on four big trees. The wooden house is about five meters above the ground, and the ladder is a three-section folding ladder that can be stowed away from above.

The people in the village seemed to feel that they could sleep peacefully only if they were off the ground, so they built such a suspended village.

After inviting Benita into his home, Old John was a little cautious. There was nothing in the house to entertain distinguished guests, which made Old John feel very rude.

Benita noticed Old John's embarrassment and smiled kindly at the family of three:

"As your savior, I feel very good to have accepted your warm hospitality. Thank you for taking me to visit such a unique suspended building."

Catalina smiled sweetly, and then said: "Dad built this with his own hands, but it's a pity that he went to heaven! I have never received a letter from him. Grandpa said it was because the postman might have turned into a zombie! Damn the apocalypse!”

Catalina's last sentence was imitating the tone of old John. It looked very funny for a four-year-old girl to imitate an old man who was about to be seventy years old. However, Benita did not laugh. She just nodded to Old John, then touched Catalina's head with her hand and said, "I think God will eventually choose a new postman to deliver the letter to you, but he Maybe I'm busy in the last days, so I haven't found time to do such a thing! But waiting with hope is always a good thing. Little Katrina, you can also carefully observe the people around you and see among them Is there a postman from heaven! I heard that the postmen there are kind-hearted, like to help others, and have the ability to protect the weak! If you meet such a person, you can follow him and ask him if there is a postman from heaven who belongs to Your father’s letter.”

Catalina opened her eyes wide, raised her head and asked Benita: "Can he have wings? I mean, is the postman in heaven an angel?"

Benita didn't answer Catalina's words, she didn't want to talk too much about heaven with this cute little girl! The world has been reduced to hell, and girls of Spanish origin do not believe that heaven really exists.

"Okay! I'm just a passerby, and I have very important things to return to my hometown, Houston! Since I have accepted your invitation to visit this place, I think it's not rude to leave!"

Old John frowned and said, "Beautiful girl! Houston is thousands of miles away from here. It is on the other side of the continent. There must be many dangers here, right?"

Benita smiled and nodded, and then said: "Yes! I must go back! At the beginning of the end of the world, I came to this place because I wanted to help a friend! Now two years later, I think it's time to go back. It’s time for me to go back! I want to go home and see if my man has come to see me. He was in China in the east before the catastrophe, and I don’t know if he has come back!”

Old John said with regret: "China is too far away! I hope he can come back! Beautiful lady, before you leave, please let me do something for you to express my gratitude to you!"

Benita hurriedly said no, but Old John insisted. He felt that he could not accept Benita's favor in vain.

Finally, after thinking for a long time, Benita said: "Okay! There is really something you can do for me!"

Thirty minutes later, Benita took Old John, his grandparents, and his grandson into the courtyard wall of an abandoned residential area in the east of Williamsburg.

This wall is higher than the walls of other nearby courtyards, about five meters, and there are power lines above the wall.

There is a lot of space in the yard, and there is a vegetable garden behind the three connected residential houses.

Benita spoke while leading the three of them: "It's quite safe here, there are very few zombies nearby, and because there are many houses here, as long as you are careful, outsiders will not easily find anyone here. In other words, if you want to turn on the lights at night, it is best to close all the curtains."

Old John asked a little strangely: "Is there electricity available here?"

Benita smiled and nodded, did not answer Old John's question, and just continued the tour with them.

“This house is a warehouse, with about sixty square meters of space inside.

But it has an underground warehouse of three hundred square meters, which is full of food and daily necessities. My friends and I collected and stored it in the past two years. It is enough for the three of you, grandparents, and grandchildren to feed you for several years, and the land behind it is very large. It is fertile, and there are seeds of various crops in the warehouse. If you farm, then I think you may be able to survive in this place. "

Old John was a little shocked.

"With so much food, won't it rot and go bad if stored in a warehouse? Although spoiled food can be eaten, if it rots"

Benita said: "Don't worry, there are refrigeration and preservation equipment inside, so the food can be preserved for a long time."

Before Old John could react, Benita took Old John to visit the other two rooms.

The equipment here is actually all-inclusive, and all electrical equipment can be used, which means that there is electricity here.

After visiting every corner of the room, Benita finally said:

“Are you wondering why these three houses are so special?

In fact, this was originally a laboratory of the CI Institute. The water and electricity in this house have separate lines. The water comes from underground, and the electricity is more complicated.

Within ten miles of here, there are many windmill generators, and the energy they harvest can be transmitted to the power distribution equipment in the room through underground pipelines.

The top of the house is actually made of highly intensified solar panels made of special materials. After collecting the energy of sunlight, they will also be converted into electricity and enter the power distribution equipment.

The construction of this house contains a lot of pre-apocalyptic high-tech technology. I can't tell you clearly because I am not a staff member of the CI organization after all.

Mr. John, since you said you want to repay me, I won't be polite.

I hope you can live here often and help me take care of the electricity in this room. I will give you some instructions and tell you some precautions so that you know how to maintain the electrical equipment here! My request is that the power here should not be interrupted, but that it should always be powered on. If you can help me do this, it will be a great help! "

Old John saw Benita's solemn expression. After thinking about it for a moment, he nodded in agreement.

After all, there is so much food here, which is a huge fortune for people in the last days.

But why did Benita let him take care of the electricity here? What does the so-called CI organization do?

Seeing that Old John agreed, Benita was very grateful and said: "Thank you so much! Hey, originally there were three of us here, me and two CI staff members. But some time ago, an accident happened, which caused Both CI staff members are dead! But don’t worry, the accident has been resolved, and similar dangers should not occur here again. "

The little boy Jax seemed to like Benita very much. He clenched his little fist and said, "Benita, don't worry! I will help you protect this place with my grandpa! Because I will grow up quickly. , from a child to a man with eight-pack abs!"

Not to be outdone, Katerina shouted: "Yes! I will also help protect this place!"

Benita smiled happily. She liked these two children more and more.

Old John obviously thought more, and he asked the most critical question.

"Beautiful lady, I am willing to help you do this, and I don't want to know why. But how long do we need to guard here?"

The expression on Benita's face suddenly darkened, and she thought for a while before saying:

"It depends on what you mean! It's best to protect it for a few years, but you can always abandon this place if you encounter danger.

Because I, who was supposed to protect this place, have already planned to leave. I cannot be selfish and let you stay here instead of me.

Hey, there is actually no secret. This is just a matter of a very close Chinese friend of mine getting rid of me. It’s a pity that I couldn’t do anything to help her.”

Old John didn't understand what Benita said, but he saw that Benita seemed to be in a bad mood and hurriedly interrupted her: "Well! Beautiful lady, you don't need to explain too much to me. Since You saved the lives of our three grandsons, and we should repay you! Don’t worry, as long as the lives of my two children are not endangered, Old John will definitely guard here until his death. So, will you come back? "

Benita nodded gratefully, and then said: "Maybe he will come back, or maybe he won't. After returning to Houston, if my man doesn't come to see me, I can only understand that he has turned into a zombie in the apocalypse or I am dead. By then, I should start my new life! Although the end of the world seems to never stop, those of us who are alive still have to live, right?"

Old John nodded and agreed with Benita's statement.

Next, Benita took Old John and his grandson around the front and back of the house several times, telling Old John all the methods of using and repairing all the equipment.

After doing all this, Benita said goodbye directly and left.

The sun had already risen. Old John held the hands of Jax and Catalina and stood in the yard looking at the house in front of him. He was full of curiosity and didn't know what secrets it hidden. But it didn't take long for this curiosity to be replaced by other emotions.

"Let's go, two little guys, follow your grandfather to see how much food the beautiful Benita has prepared for us! I hope there is whiskey in it, haha!
