“Buzz —!”

“What’s that sound?!”

At the three-way junction, Zhao Yu suddenly heard a strange noise.

He immediately thought of something, urgently pointing to the woods nearby, telling the driver, “Quick, drive into the woods!”

The driver swiftly turned the wheel, and after a few jolts, parked the vehicle in the woods.

“Turn off the engine, everyone hide!”

Zhao Yu peeked out, quickly assessing the situation above and ordered accordingly.

Soon, all 22 soldiers hid themselves in different spot. Zhao Yu got out of the vehicle, climbed up a tree, and looked up at the distant sky.

“Buzz —!”

The humming sound from the sky grew louder, and in a short while, two armed helicopters flew over the woods.

Zhao Yu’s eyes followed the helicopters and predicted their direction.

That direction was exactly where they had just left – the chemical factory!

After a while, the sound of the helicopters faded but never completely disappeared.

The helicopters circling around the chemical factory.

It’s the organization that placed the facehuggers…”

“Thank God we left in time!”

Zhao Yu felt somewhat relieved, but at the same time, he pondered a question.

Had the system noticed something and therefore assigned him a mission in advance?

There’s a high chance. If such a large organization noticed several buildings suddenly rising from the ground here, it would certainly attract attention.

We can’t stay here!”

After Confirming there were no other flying objects, he returned to the vehicle, “Quick, we must leave this place!”

Soon, the vehicle was back on the main road, continuing along its previous route.

After about twenty minutes, they have arrived at the outskirt of the county town, and they noticed mutants wandered around.

One of the soldiers instinctively raised his gun, preparing to shoot the mutants once they got closer.

“All of you, fix bayonets! Everyone else, stand by and do not fire!” Zhao Yu quickly stopped them.

Ten soldiers who received Black Sun Military Stab immediately fixed them onto their rifle muzzles.

At the same time, the mutants in the distance noticed their movements and began to charge.

“Charge!”

The ten soldiers charged with their bayonets. Pairing up, they easily took down several of the mutants.

“Keep moving, take this route!” Zhao Yu pointed towards the right-hand road.

There was a county road on the outskirts of the town, which led directly to the chemical plant. The road was in disrepair with numerous potholes, but it was still better than carving out a new path through the forest.

Along the way, whenever Zhao Yu encountered a hole, he filled it; if they came across a broken bridge, he had people carry the base vehicle across the river.

After several breaks, they finally reached the photovoltaic electronics factory around 3 in the morning.

When they arrived at the west gate, the previously mountainous piles of alien corpses had disappeared, completely devoured by nearby animals.

This photovoltaic factory was a centralized solar power station with an installation capacity of 100 megawatts, covering 1800 acres. Apart from a few buildings in the central area, most of the open space was covered with solar panels.

Inside the factory, there were internal roads, double-laned, for the convenience of employees to conduct maintenance.

This saved Zhao Yu a lot of trouble, allowing him to drive directly into the core area.

The core area consisted of only five buildings: one operation building for controlling solar power generation, one office building, two dormitories, and one canteen.

Zhao Yu looked around. The areas were silent with no indication of what might be inside.

“One team stay here, everyone else, pair up and check all the buildings for dangers!”

“Understood!”

The soldiers quickly dispersed following Zhao Yu’s instructions.

After about half an hour, searched through all five buildings and killed dozens of mutants trapped inside, they declared the area safe.

Zhao Yu led a team to find the topographic map of the photovoltaic electronics factory.

These five buildings were situated towards the east, not precisely in the center.

After setting up the base, there would be many more buildings to place, so advanced planning was needed.

After some deliberation, Zhao Yu finally chose a parking lot not far from the five buildings.

Setting up the base in the parking lot meant they could expand to the west by removing some solar panels later on as more buildings were constructed.

[Please choose the location of the base!]

Zhao Yu followed the system’s instructions and parked the MCV at a suitable location before retreating to a safe distance.

“Right here!”

Shua!

The MCV began to transform again. After some expansion, the square base appeared again.

[Please choose the location of the energy station, training camp, and munitions factory.]

With his previous experience, Zhao Yu did not place the energy station next to the base. Instead, he placed it two empty spaces apart.

After setting up the energy station, the training camp and the munitions factory were placed next to each other.

After doing all this, the sky gradually lit up. Zhao Yu looked at his resources.

The other resources remained the same and were still quite abundant. The main thing that was scarce was the technology points. After a night of natural recovery, it became 8 points.

Inside Munitions Factory, Zhao Yu opened the control panel.

[Land Infantry (4/10)]

[Next level unlocked: Special Forces]

This time, he didn’t exchange for soldiers. Instead, he spent 8 Technology Points to exchange for 4 land infantry.

At this point, he had a total of 8 land infantry and 18 soldiers under his command. A total of 26 soldiers could be divided into five teams.

[Infantry (8/10)]

“I need two more to unlock the special forces!”

Zhao Yu realized that he had more than enough resources to exchange for two land infantry. The only thing he lacked were technology points. This meant that in another four hours, he could unlock the special forces.

“Use the naturally accumulated technology points for training soldiers, while the daily task’s tech points should first be used to set up the tank factory…” Zhao Yu thought.

Although he had unlocked the munitions factory, he was constrained by some rare materials. This meant he could get guns but not bullets.

The munitions factory was almost useless. Only by quickly setting up a resource recycling furnace and a mining factory could he strengthen his combat power.

If today uncomplete task could be completed, he could save a day.

For now, he would have to wait until 6 or 7 in the evening to refresh the next daily task.

“First and Second squads, you go out to collect resources. Whatever you find, be it gold, silver, copper, iron, tin, cloth, or even creatures, bring it back. Find food based on your condition…”

“Understood!”

“Third and Fourth squads, you’re responsible for the base’s security. Patrol

within this area…”

“Understood!”

After assigning tasks to the squads, Zhao Yu took out a map and called the fifth squad over.

The fifth squad consisted of the newly trained four land infantry and two soldiers. They were the strongest among the five squads.

“There’s a town here. Go and investigate if there are any survivors or mutants, and report back…”

“Understood!”

The town Zhao Yu mentioned wasn’t Meng House Village, but another town in the northeast direction from the photovoltaic plant.

To acquire resources, they needed to explore more places.

After giving out the tasks, Zhao Yu had a quick meal and then went to sleep.

His biological clock was still set to being active at night and resting during the day.

At Shelter No.12988, over a hundred people were discussing.

“That’s Zhao Yu’s team, right?”

“It could be. Only a big organization like theirs could own such helicopters.”

“I wonder what kind of force they are.”

Some speculated they were remnants of the old military, while others thought they might belong to a wealthy consortium.

Soon after, Gao Shun led a group of armed individuals out.

Many approached him, curious about the situation.

“Everyone who’s currently on the surface, come with me…”

“Why?”

“What are we doing now?”

Before the crowd could complain, Gao Shun interrupted them, “You’ll be rewarded with 10 work points each!”

“10 points? I’m in!”

“Me too!”

Immediately, over a hundred people clamored, expressing their desire to accompany the group.

“Alright, everyone can go. Once we return, you’ll all be registered.”

Gao Shun took the lead and headed west.

The others, witnessing his actions, hastily followed, forming a grand procession of more than a hundred people departing.

After their departure, the refuge soon saw the emergence of two squads, each consisting of ten armed personnel, hurriedly making their way north.

Approximately ten minutes later, the ten armed men returned, also bringing with them two large iron boxes.

Not long after they had returned with the iron boxes, the once-open gates of the refuge, accompanied by the sound of machinery, slowly began to close.

Meng House Village.

Over three hundred individuals gathered, all sitting on the ground. Meng Xian announced:

“All in favor of relocating and setting up a new base at the photovoltaic electronics factory, raise your hands!”

With a collective “whoosh”.

The majority raised both their hands.

Xiao Liu stood up in disapproval, questioning, “We just finished building here, and now we’re relocating?!”

Li Na, who sat next to him, also rose to her feet, chuckling, “Liu Zi, how can this place compare to the comfort of the photovoltaic factory? That place has electricity. If we don’t seize such an opportunity, others will claim it before we know it!”

“The mutants there are not few in number, at least a couple hundred…”

“Come on, we have so many people. Why should we fear them?”

“Exactly, Brother Liu. If you’re scared, just stay here. Leave the task of clearing the photovoltaic factory to us!”

Seated on the same row with them were eleven other individuals, all of whom were level-one enhancers. Some had followed Meng Xian here from the very beginning, while others had arrived later.

Including Xiao Liu, Li Na, and Meng Xian, Meng House Village’s count of enhancers was fourteen.

“The majority agrees to the relocation to the photovoltaic factory. The proposal to relocate has been accepted.”

“Those willing to clear out the mutants, please sign up now. For every mutant killed, you’ll earn 5 contribution points.”

“Xiao Liu, are you going?”

Xiao Liu, stiffening his neck in defiance, “Of course I’m going! I’m no coward!”

Filled with enthusiasm, Meng Xian declared, “Great! Every department, prepare yourselves.. At 8 o’clock tonight, the combat teams will march with me!”
