Chapter 112 Doomsday Bookstore
After throwing away the beauty magazine, Han Bei kept searching through the pile of scattered books on the floor.
Trying to find anything useful.
Unfortunately.
Either those books crumbled into pieces the moment I picked them up, or they were those useless beauty magazines.
"Damn, I don't know why this bookstore puts so many beauty magazines on it."
Han Bei couldn't help but curse.
He flipped through so many books, and most of the ones that hadn't been damaged were those beauty magazines.
The rest, you can tell just by looking at the cover, are things that are obviously not very useful.
Just as Han Bei sighed.
My gaze inadvertently fell on the bookstore counter.
"Oh ho, there are notebooks too?"
Han Bei was somewhat surprised when he arrived at the front desk.
On the front desk, a laptop was lying quietly.
However, there was a thick layer of dust on that notebook.
"Speaking of which, aren't most cashiers in bookstores using desktop laptops?"
Han Bei stared at the notebook with some curiosity.
The shop owner uses a thin and light laptop; isn't he worried that his employees might just pocket it and run away?
Looking down at the general situation on the stage, Han Bei began to search.
Dust billowed up after one of the drawers was pulled out.
After the dust settled, a stack of green banknotes immediately came into Han Bei's view.
Because the drawers isolated the air, the banknotes were almost completely free of dust, except for some wrinkles.
This is also the main reason why Hanbei can see it clearly.
"Dr. Su, over here."
Han Bei called Su Yang over via walkie-talkie.
As soon as he arrived, Su Yang spotted the laptop and his eyes lit up.
"You little rascal, you actually found this good stuff?"
Su Yang couldn't help but laugh and tease.
"Stop talking and take a picture of this."
Han Bei pointed to the banknotes lying quietly inside the drawer and said.
He didn't dare touch it; who knows how long these banknotes have been sitting there?
What if I accidentally turn the top layer of banknotes into dust the moment I touch them? Wouldn't that be the end of me?
Su Yang glanced at the green banknotes and immediately noticed the portraits engraved on them.
"Is this country the same as Great Xia?"
Su Yang was slightly surprised.
These banknotes even feature engravings of figures similar to those on the Chinese Yuan.
obviously.
The person on that banknote must be an extremely important leader on this planet.
Otherwise, the people here would not have been able to carve their likenesses onto it.
"alright."
After taking a complete picture of the banknote, Su Yang nodded.
Although the drawer only contained one type of green banknote, it was separated by many small metal compartments.
Most of them are front-facing, except for one metal compartment where the top layer contains a banknote with the back facing up.
Su Yang speculated that the cashier probably didn't notice that the items were placed upside down while tidying up.
Seeing this, Han Bei reached out to check if the banknotes had weathered.
Just as he had expected.
Those banknotes crumbled into pieces the moment they were held in my hand.
"Well done."
Su Yang patted Han Bei on the shoulder.
It's already a good thing that Han Bei, who was the first to discover these banknotes, didn't rush to touch them.
This proves that Han Bei is at least a smart person, knowing to let him finish recording before reaching out.
You must understand that in the society of Great Xia today...
I wonder how many people, upon seeing banknotes lying on the ground, would be unable to resist reaching for them.
Even if those things aren't RMB, many people will still hold them out of curiosity.
"What do I do with this laptop?"
Han Bei's gaze fell on the notebook whose back cover was covered in dust, and he couldn't help but ask a question.
"Take it back, what else can we do?"
Su Yang shrugged. "It shouldn't break as soon as you hold it, but whether it can be turned on or not is highly unlikely."
That's all.
Su Yang reached out and wiped the dust off the notebook, revealing its original appearance.
"It's pretty cool."
Su Yang looked at the black and gold notebook and couldn't help but be slightly surprised.
These days.
Are all the notebooks used by bookstore cashiers this stylish?
Han Bei was also amazed by its cool appearance.
Just look at its appearance.
Black and gold, it looks high-end.
Its appearance is far superior to those of domestic laptops; it's miles ahead.
Holding it in his hand, Su Yang looked at the notebook in shock.
This thing weighs about twenty pounds.
In the market, even ordinary gaming laptops don't necessarily weigh this much, let alone those thin and light laptops.
"What's wrong?"
Han Bei naturally noticed the fleeting shock in Su Yang's eyes.
"This laptop must weigh about 20 or 30 pounds."
Su Yang spoke softly.
Although it was quite heavy, it wasn't considered particularly heavy for him.
However, this notebook may be of great use to the study of human civilization in this world.
Therefore, Su Yang was extremely careful when handling the notebook.
I was afraid that if I didn't hold it properly for the next second, it would fall to the ground and break.
"The civilization of this world, like that of Earth, should have already entered the information age."
Su Yang stared at the notebook in his hand for a long while before slowly speaking.
He had a vague feeling that the level of civilization in this world was not much worse than that of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Unlike the previous dinosaur civilization.
If we say that dinosaur people built their houses directly on muddy ground halfway through the journey.
So this zombie civilization is like a high-rise building with a solid foundation and plenty of cement.
One is at risk of collapsing at any time, while the other can stand for thousands of years.
This zombie civilization has only revealed the tip of the iceberg to them, yet it has already reached this level.
Su Yang found it hard to imagine just how advanced their level of civilization was.
He even gets the feeling that the civilization on this planet is more advanced than that on Earth.
"I'm a little curious, why did this civilization collapse to such an extent? Could it be that they didn't have a military to govern them?"
Han Bei couldn't help but speak up.
If, like in the Great Xia Dynasty, a zombie virus were to break out in a certain place, the Great Xia government and military would seal off the location of the source of infection as quickly as possible.
Just like a new virus, it isolates people.
But this planet was so dilapidated that it felt as if it were not under military control.
If such a thing existed, it shouldn't be like this here. Since we've entered the information age, why have we come up with something like a laptop?
In any case, its military capabilities shouldn't be too bad.
How could it be impossible not to stop the spread of the zombie virus?
