I Am Carrying Gold From the Post-Apocalyptic World-Chapter 102 – Go to the city to find gold
Officer Li also lived in the Emerald Lake Villa Estate, but she was in the North Yard.
The South Yard and North Yard were far apart, separated by a street. Generally, people from the South Yard wouldn't go to the North Yard and vice versa, which explained why she hadn't met Wang Bin before.
However, now that she had Wang Bin's address, she planned to go over and check things out.
She took out her phone and dialed Wang Bin's number again, but it still couldn't get through. Cursing under her breath, she drove to Wang Bin's house, but after ringing the doorbell for a while, no one answered.
Seeing a security guard approaching, she quickly went over, flashed her badge, and asked, "Excuse me, is this Mr. Wang Bin's house?"
"Yes, what do you need from him?"
"Nothing much, just need to verify something with him. Do you know where he might be?"
"I don't know. Mr. Wang seems to be very busy and is usually only home in the evenings. If you want to find him, you should come back at night or try calling his phone."
"Alright, thank you!"
Knowing that Wang Bin indeed lived here, she felt relieved. It would be easier to find him in the future.
She was tempted to go to the lottery center to inquire if Wang Bin had won, but to investigate, she would need to go through the proper procedures and get approval. After some thought, she decided against it, as she already believed Wang Bin had indeed won the lottery. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to buy such an expensive villa or afford Zheng Banqiao's calligraphy and paintings.
Moreover, she hadn't been swindled out of money, though she still felt a bit uncomfortable about having her belongings taken.
Thinking about the paintings gave her a headache; she needed to quickly buy another valuable piece of art.

After lunch, Wang Bin decided to take Officer Miao and a few others to explore the city to see if they could find the vault.
Without the Jinbei van, traveling was very inconvenient. They could take the tank, but it consumed a lot of fuel and was noisy, so they decided against it. This meant they had to rely on their legs, but fortunately, they were all young and fit, and the city was less than ten kilometers away.
Along the way, they encountered many zombies, but they avoided them as much as possible, only using the Red Tassel Spear to take them down when necessary.
After nearly two hours, Wang Bin and his group finally reached the outskirts of the city.
"We've searched this area before; there aren't any big banks here!"
"Yeah, this is the outskirts. There usually aren't any bank buildings here. I'll check the city center."
As they entered the city, they saw charred zombie corpses everywhere, creating a terrifying scene.
Seeing this, Wang Bin thought he should modify a flamethrower tank. The tank's shells were limited, and their destructive power wasn't as great as a flamethrower. If he could create a flamethrower tank, it would be invaluable in situations like the last time when they were surrounded by hundreds of thousands of zombies. As long as the tank had enough fuel, it could wipe out the zombie horde completely.
The thought excited him, but now wasn't the time for modifications; finding the vault in the city was the priority.

To avoid zombies, Wang Bin and his group spent a lot of time maneuvering, and as night fell, Wang Bin decided to stop hiding. They charged towards the city center with their Red Tassel Spears, as the zombies on the streets were scattered and posed no real threat. If there was danger, they could always take refuge in nearby buildings.
Wang Bin and his group moved like reapers, leaving zombies falling in their wake.
Soon, they reached the city center, and seeing that it was already dark, Wang Bin decided to find a place to rest for the night and continue their search the next day.
Perhaps a battle had recently taken place here, as the smell of decaying corpses was overwhelming. Wang Bin led the group to a slightly secluded spot where the stench wasn't as strong.
Standing on a tall building's rooftop, Wang Bin took out his binoculars to survey the surroundings. Although the city's buildings were somewhat dilapidated, most of the billboards were still intact, and he quickly spotted two bank buildings.
These two buildings weren't too far from their location, but Wang Bin was a bit tired, so he decided to rest here for the night before heading over.
Wang Bin realized the importance of a map. The post-apocalyptic world was somewhat like the real world, but he felt it was at least ten times larger.
As he pondered how to obtain a map, he suddenly remembered he could check the system marketplace.
Quickly entering the system marketplace, he typed "map" into the search bar, and was startled to see millions of maps appear.
Upon closer inspection, he found that these maps were categorized into world maps, Asian maps, American maps, European maps, and African maps, further divided by country, province, and city.
The world map was the most expensive, costing ten thousand kilograms of gold per map, while the continental maps were three thousand kilograms each, national maps one thousand kilograms each, provincial maps five hundred kilograms each, and city maps one hundred kilograms each.
World and continental maps weren't necessary at the moment; he only needed a map of the Dragon Country and the area he was currently in.
The smallest unit on a national map was a county, which couldn't be zoomed in on, so to find detailed building names in this city, he needed to buy a map of the area.
"Does anyone know what this city is called?"
"It should be called Yan City. Last time we came, there was a gas station on the outskirts called Yan City Gas Station, and many shops in the city had Yan City in their names."
"Thanks!"
Officer Miao's reminder jogged Wang Bin's memory, recalling that he had indeed seen many products with Yan City in their names on the way here.
Re-entering the system space, he bought a map of the Dragon Country and a map of Yan City.
If he could find maps in this world, he wouldn't have to spend this unnecessary money. But since arriving in the apocalypse, he had only seen maps at the base with Commander Li. Next time he met Commander Li, he decided to ask for some maps; otherwise, buying them every time would be too costly.
Officer Miao and the others' eyes lit up when they saw the map in Wang Bin's hands, and they quickly gathered around to examine it.
Comparing the surrounding streets and building names, they soon pinpointed their location and identified the positions of the city's five major bank buildings on the map. After marking them, they found that three target buildings weren't far from them, while the other two were a bit farther away.
After studying the map and marking the route for the next day, everyone was satisfied and began eating dinner.
After dinner, Wang Bin and his group sat together, gazing at the stars and chatting. Suddenly, a shout from the street below shattered the peace.
"Stop!"
Hearing the voice, Wang Bin immediately stood up and ran to the window to look down, with Li Dazhu and the others quickly following to check.
Since it was already dark, they couldn't see what was happening below. Wang Bin hurriedly took out his rifle with a night vision scope, and soon they saw six humanoid figures moving quickly below, with one being chased heading straight for their building.
