Chapter 30: Villa and Comprehensive Monitoring
With the gasoline generator in hand, Alex naturally took it to the villa's power room to connect the power supply.
As for this power room, the first time Alex entered, it was when he first received this shelter villa, and he took a quick look at the electric meter.
He hadn't expected it to be useful one day.
And so soon.
Alex took out the gasoline generator from his backpack and poured gasoline into it.
For large generators like this one, under normal circumstances, it would be enough to use for a long time.
After all, in the current era, there weren't many places where electricity was used in the post-apocalyptic world.
However, Alex had no intention of conserving electricity.
The gasoline generator used gasoline, and the one thing he had plenty of was gasoline!
Alex started the gasoline generator, connecting it to the villa's main power supply.
Soon, with a click, the lights in the entire villa came on.
Then, Alex went to the roof and kept pouring mineral water into the water storage tank.
This would be their reserve water for bathing in the future.
It was also at the moment of electrification that Alex received a notification from the system.
[Dear Survivor, your shelter villa has activated monitoring and alarm services. You can access the surveillance and receive alarm messages through the information window at any time.]
Alex tried to take a look at the surveillance and found that the entire villa was under 360-degree surveillance with no blind spots.
After the smart sensors detected intruders entering the house, they would directly send alerts to Alex.
Ensuring that Alex would be informed of the situation at the first moment.
In addition to the original prompts from the fortified wall, it was absolutely impossible for ordinary people to come and go without being noticed.
"Bathing is so refreshing!"
After finishing all the chores, Alex naturally wanted to take a relaxing bath.
He soaked in the bathtub, letting the hot water soothe his entire body. freewёbnoνel.com
However, before he could completely relax...
Suddenly...
[Ding ding ding! Warning, warning, someone is attempting to climb the wall, please handle it promptly!]
Alex ripped off the hot towel covering his eyes and opened the system to access the surveillance.
The surveillance footage clearly showed several survivors peering around the brightly lit fortified wall, even attempting to climb it.
Alex hadn't expected other survivors to arrive at the villa area so soon.
Alex issued a warning through the surveillance camera, "Don't lurk around my doorstep. Leave immediately, or don't blame me for getting tough!"
The survivors outside the wall were startled.
They hadn't expected the villa to have surveillance.
Just as they were about to climb the wall to see what was inside, they were discovered.
Finally, this led to the expulsion of the villa owner.
Several survivors left, but Alex continued to observe through the surveillance.
Alex had reason to suspect that they might have ulterior motives.
Just like the previous Ethan's team.
Sure enough, after those survivors left, they whispered among themselves.
A chubby guy said, "Damn it, others can have electricity now? I want to use the air conditioner too."
Next to the chubby guy, a skinny one said, "Why don't we go do something tonight?"
The other survivors nodded in agreement.
"Sounds good!"
However, the chubby guy suddenly thought of the alarm system and became worried.
"What about the surveillance?"
But the other survivors didn't seem to care.
"It's fine, there must be blind spots in the surveillance. I don't think it can see the large trees behind the villa. We'll sneak in from there and take out the people inside. Hehe, then the villa will be ours, right?"
These survivors had fled from the north.
Originally, they hadn't planned to enter this villa area, but they were driven here by the zombies by chance.
Zombies were everywhere, and it was relatively safe to come to this villa area.
After all, since Ethan and others cleared the zombies, this place could be considered a safe zone.
After entering the villa area, these survivors were attracted by the villa where Alex and the others lived.
You see, suddenly seeing a brightly lit villa was quite eerie and shocking in this post-apocalyptic world!
So, they approached out of curiosity.
Although they were quickly driven away by the villa owner, they still had thoughts about the villa.
This group of individuals was originally a theft gang in the real world.
After inexplicably coming to this post-apocalyptic world, they didn't separate and directly gathered together.
Unfortunately, luck was not on their side, and they always failed to gather any resources.
Up to this point, the team couldn't even manage to equip each person with a knife.
Seeing such a luxurious villa, with electricity even, challenged their patience to the extreme.
It could be said that if they didn't take advantage of this opportunity, they would be letting down their boss who was still waiting for them.
Steal! They must steal! And even resort to violence if necessary!
By nightfall, Alex and the others had turned off the lights and settled down to rest.
This group of thieves quietly approached the blind spot of the villa as mentioned earlier.
However, just like Ethan's team, they made a fatal mistake.
That mistake was underestimating Alex's control over the villa.
Alex noticed the anomaly immediately.
Seeing these survivors with knives at their waists, he knew they were up to no good.
Alex took out his P92 pistol, loading each bullet coldly, and said, "Since your intentions are impure, I can act without guilt."
These survivors had no idea what awaited them.
Alex woke up Mia, and the two of them silently sat in the living room, watching as the group of thieves scaled the villa's walls.
The alarm didn't sound. That was because Alex had disabled it in advance.
He wanted to see how these thieves planned to enter.
The villa's front door creaked, and a minute later, it was opened.
It had to be said, this group of thieves had some skills, actually managing to easily unlock Alex's villa door.
As they entered the villa, Alex suddenly turned on the lights in the living room.
The sudden bright light startled the thieves.
But then they realized it was only Alex and Mia in the room.
They paused, their instinct to turn and run frozen, and instead, they began to approach Alex and Mia.
Feeling confident in their numbers, they seemed fearless.
One of the thieves, with audacity, said to his companions, "What about having some fun with this woman later?"
The chubby thief, holding a knife, shrugged.
"Just don't kill anyone with your messed-up ways."
The skinny thief standing next to the chubby one, however, noticed that Alex's expression was growing darker.
Then, he saw Alex draw his P92 pistol.
Before he could even utter a warning, the skinny thief took a bullet to the head.
The chubby thief jerked in shock, thoroughly intimidated by the P92 pistol in Alex's hand.
Moments later, he too was taken out by Alex's shot.
After days of practice, Alex's marksmanship had improved rapidly.
Especially in such close quarters, even moving targets were well within his range.
Soon, only one of them remained, the thief who had initially disrespected Mia.
