Leeks and Molotov Cocktails

Chapter 27 Leeks and Molotov Cocktails

After finishing off the two zombies, it was time for the delightful looting session.

These two elderly zombies were quite ordinary, each adding 5 points of health to Wang Tao. Wang Tao's total health reached 165.

Then came the items they dropped.

[Obtained: Alcohol*1]
[Alcohol: Crafting Material]
[Obtained: Alcohol*1]
[Alcohol: Crafting Material]

"It's all the same thing?"

With a thought, a glass bottle appeared in Wang Tao's hand. Besides the "1L" label, there were two lines of small print: "Purity 99.9%, Edible."

Seeing the word "edible," Wang Tao was first stunned, then quickly realized. The "edible" meant the alcohol was of edible grade, not that one should drink it directly. A mouthful of that would probably kill a person...

As a crafting material, this alcohol seemed more useful than the others. Diluting it with water at a 3:1 ratio would make 75% medical alcohol. Diluting it more could make it drinkable, or use it as fuel. It had many uses! He stored both bottles in his spatial backpack, then routinely searched the zombies' bodies.

The Old Woman Zombie had two gold bracelets, two silver bracelets, three gold rings, and a Gold Necklace.

The Old Man Zombie had a gold watch, a large gold ring, and several large gold teeth—Wang Tao hadn't noticed until its jaw was broken.

"These two old folks were pretty rich!"

Wang Tao was somewhat amazed.

As the saying goes, antiques in prosperous times, gold in chaotic times. In this apocalypse, Wang Tao didn't know what people used for trade in the Survivor Bases, but gold should be worth something.

Anyway, it was small and didn't take up space, so Wang Tao collected it all, including the large gold teeth.

After looting the zombie corpses, it was time to search the house.

Thanks to the two elders being infected and mutated simultaneously, the house was tidy except for the traces of Wang Tao's battle. The food hadn't been disturbed.

But annoyingly, their kitchen was filled with rotten vegetables and fruits.

Wang Tao roughly understood what happened. Older people were generally frugal, especially with their food and clothing, saving wherever they could. It had nothing to do with whether they had money; it was just a long-standing habit.

Before the apocalypse, these two elders bought some less-than-fresh vegetables and fruits at a low price. Normally, as long as they ate the food that was about to spoil in advance, they wouldn't eat anything rotten. But unfortunately, the apocalypse came. Without anyone to eat them, the food quickly spoiled...

Not just the vegetables and fruits piled in the kitchen, but even those in the refrigerator had gone bad. Only a bag of garlic was still edible.

"Depressing..."

Wang Tao felt sorry for the spoiled food. But there was no choice but to throw it away. Otherwise, food poisoning would be a disaster.

The vegetables and fruits were almost entirely lost. The two elders didn't seem to eat meat, and there was none in the house.

Fortunately, there was a bag of 8 pounds of wheat flour, 2 pounds of eggs, and 2 pounds of dried noodles in the cupboard, which was a consolation prize.

"Huh? What's this..."

Coming out of the kitchen, Wang Tao suddenly noticed a pile of green plants under the balcony in the living room.

"Leeks?"

Wang Tao quickly jogged over.

A distorted figure suddenly appeared outside the window, banging on the security window.

Bang, bang, bang!

"Crap!"

Wang Tao was startled.

He remembered that this was the first floor, and there were zombies outside.

Giving the zombie outside the middle finger, Wang Tao quickly pulled the curtains shut.

Although they couldn't get in, it was better to be safe.

Ignoring the zombie outside, Wang Tao squatted in front of the plants, his eyes showing joy.

"It really is leeks, and they're already grown!"

These leeks are arranged in square pots, twelve in total, looking as if they were planted directly in the ground.

This is great stuff!

Wang Tao was pleasantly surprised.

He heard that leeks can live for ten years? If he can preserve these leeks well, wouldn't that mean he could eat leeks often in the future? Although the taste might not be as good after a long time, it's the end of the world, so having vegetables is already a blessing, who cares about the taste! Moreover, there's also the fact that these rotten vegetables and fruits don't have to be thrown away, they can be used directly as fertilizer to nourish the leeks! Wang Tao hates waste the most, and he felt a little sorry before, but now that he can use those rotten foods, he feels much better.

"Now that there are leeks, I'll look for any seeds or something..."

Wang Tao immediately started searching.

Sure enough, after spending some time, Wang Tao found 10 packs of leek seeds, 5 packs of coriander seeds, and 5 packs of white radish seeds!

Although Wang Tao doesn't like eating coriander, at this time, he doesn't have the right to be picky, having them is already good enough.

"I'll see later, if there's a chance, I can plant these seeds..."

He put all the seeds in his pocket, but Wang Tao wasn't in a hurry to move the leeks. Because when he was looking for seeds, he found another good thing!

Coming to the Second Bedroom, looking at the two boxes of glass-bottled white wine placed inside, Wang Tao finally knew why these two Zombies dropped alcohol, it turned out they liked to drink! Wang Tao himself doesn't really like drinking, but this wine is definitely a good thing, and can be used for trading in the future. Moreover, these wine bottles are also good things.

He had already tested it before, these Zombies are a little afraid of fire.

Therefore, these wine bottles can be used to make Molotov Cocktails!

The method of making Molotov Cocktails is actually very simple, mainly the flammable materials in the bottles are not easy to get now. This forty-degree white wine is definitely not suitable, you have to use alcohol or gasoline or other flammable materials.

Although Wang Tao just dropped two bottles of alcohol, this is alcohol that can be put into the storage space, and he would definitely be reluctant to use it unless absolutely necessary.

The most suitable thing might be gasoline, after all, there are cars outside, and there must be gasoline in the fuel tanks. When he goes out to find diesel, he can find a way to get some gasoline!

Each of these two boxes of white wine has 6 bottles, a total of 12 bottles. If there is enough gasoline, he can make 12 Molotov Cocktails!

Moreover, Wang Tao suddenly thought that the seasoning bottles he had scavenged before were also glass bottles. But he didn't think of Molotov Cocktails at the time, so he forgot about it, but the things are still there.

"I have to collect them all and see how many bottles there are in total... maybe it's a great weapon!"
