Chapter 322: The Neighbor’s Thoughts (2)

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Zhao Yu saw three familiar figures. They were his ex-wife Xu Meng Lan and her two younger sisters, Xu Xiu Lan and Xu Su Lan.

At the moment, they were working with a few other women to set up a camp.

Even though he was far away, Zhao Yu could still sense a joyful aura emanating from them.

Zhao Yu’s expression became complicated. He was unsure of what to express.

In the end, he shook his head and led his group downstairs.

Upon returning to the camp, the distant horizon started to brighten, indicating the approach of dawn.

Without resisting the sleepiness, Zhao Yu had the guards continue their patrols while everyone else went inside the base to sleep.

Previously, Zhao Yu thought there were plenty of rooms inside the base, with over twenty soldiers occupying them, he felt there might be a need for more sleeping quarters in the future.

Lost in his thoughts, Zhao Yu’s consciousness started to blur.

“Sister Meng, what do you think they’re here for?”

Outside the eastern gate, Xiao Liu, Meng Xian, and some others hadn’t joined in the camp’s construction. Instead, they were walking around its perimeter.

They were members of the combat team and needed to conserve their energy to protect the others.

“I’m not sure, but if those four buildings are opened, we might find out…”

Judging by Zhao Yu’s behavior, it seemed like a big secret.

“Do you think they’re involved in some sort of biochemical research?” Xiao Liu asked.

“This apocalypse, with its mutated and irradiated beasts, is rumored to have been caused by companies working on genetic technology…”

“Who told you that?!” Meng Xian’s face changed instantly. She quickly looked around and said, “Don’t spread such rumors! Are you trying to get us killed?” Xiao Liu hastily clarified that he was just speculating.

“Xiao Liu, you need to understand that the world has changed…”

“Whether it’s the Reed Group or the Re Zhao Corporation, they are powerful ent.i.ties we can’t afford to offend…”

“If their people heard even a hint of dissatisfaction from you, it could lead to devastating repercussions for our camp…”

“I understand, Sister Meng.” Xiao Liu sighed, looking dejected.

Although Xiao Liu spoke carelessly, there were indeed rumors among the people that the apocalypse was caused by major corporations.

If the Re Zhao Corporation were indeed conducting biochemical experiments, relocating their camp here might be a mistake.

“Sister Meng, there’s some truth to what Xiao Liu said. If they are indeed into biochemical research and something leaks, it’s beyond our ability to handle…” “What do you mean?” Meng Xian questioned Eagle.

Currently, Eagle was the only person in the camp who could considered as a wise leader other than MEng Xian.

It seemed that when he took the genetic potion, not only did it enhance his eyesight but it seemed to sharpen his intelligence as well.

“What I’m suggesting is, since you’re familiar with the manager of the Reed Group, perhaps you can get some information from him?”

“Manager Huang…”

Manager Huang was in his late fifties to early sixties.

He had a soft spot for her, driven by l.u.s.t. If it weren’t for her strength, she might have been taken advantage of by now.

“What the h.e.l.l did you just say?!” Xiao Liu grabbed Eagle by the collar, appearing as if he was about to punch him.

“Stop!” Meng Xian intervened, “Apologize to Eagle!”

After a while, and after Meng Xian’s insistence, Xiao Liu reluctantly apologized.

“It’s fine. I understand that Xiao Liu is concerned about you.”

“Sister Meng, 1 suggest you visit Black Rock City. We have a batch of supplies we can sell there, and we can also ask Zhao Yu about their intentions here…” Eagle said generously.

“Alright.”

Meng Xian had already thought of visiting Black Rock City. If it weren’t for the migrating mutated beasts and the destruction of the old village, she would have gone weeks ago.

“Sister Meng, I’ll go with you. I feel like I’ve almost fully a.s.similated the first-level genetic elixir. I’m ready to advance to the second level,” Xiao Liu eagerly added.

“The second level of genetic enhancement is risky. The risk of death is not insignificant…”

“Sister Meng, you’re already at the third level. By your logic, you’ve faced death three times, while I’ve only faced it once. What do I have to fear?” Xiao Liu declared fearlessly.

Eagle glanced at Xiao Liu meaningfully, smiling, “Sister Meng, Xiao Liu is right. He’s been at the first level for a while. It’s time for him to advance to the second…”

“You guys are not like me…”

Meng Xian wanted to dissuade him further, but seeing Xiao Liu’s determination, she eventually agreed.

“Okay, you can come with me to Black Rock City.”

Soon, the camp at the eastern gate was fully set up, and Meng Xian selected a few more to go to Black Rock City with them.

Eight people in total. Three enhancers led the team, with five regular gunmen responsible for transporting goods.

Apart from Meng Xian and Xiao Liu, there was another enhancer named Song Hai, a first-level strength enhancer who also wanted to advance to the second level in Black Rock City.

After briefing them on their duties during her absence, Meng Xian led her team away from the camp.

Black Rock City was located to the west of the camp, about a hundred kilometers away. At their best pace, it would take about three days to reach, making it a week-long round trip.

Eight hours later.

The first thing Zhao Yu did upon waking was to check his daily mission list.

This time the mission wasn’t about aliens but rather about clearing a farm of mutants.

He stepped out of the base’s main entrance, inquired about the security team’s situation.

The Eastern Gate Camp remained obediently in its place, not venturing a step toward the power plant’s entrance.

“Very good!”

Zhao Yu nodded slightly, pleased to see that the intimidating measures he implemented seemed to have worked.

Next, he began pondering how to complete the mission.

The biggest issue at the moment was that while he had guns, he lacked bullets. Fortunately, he was up against mutants, and even if their numbers were substantial, it was still manageable.

After all, if it were aliens, even just one would be hard to eliminate without guns or bullets, relying solely on cold weapons.

Zhao Yu headed to the Munitions Factory store and began examining the section dedicated to cold weapons.

Knives, swords, staffs, and more—the store was stocked with all sorts of weapons. However, Zhao Yu had previously focused mainly on firearms and hadn’t paid much attention to these.

Given the circ.u.mstances, he now had to rely on these close combat weapons.

After browsing the weapon list, Zhao Yu simulated various combat scenarios with the mutants in his mind, eventually conceptualizing several combat strategies.

Shovels, steel ropes, spears, s.h.i.+elds, and other items he previously overlooked were now ama.s.sed in large quant.i.ties.

Following this, he gathered 28 soldiers, excluding the security team, and distributed the cold weapons among them.

After packing some backup rations, Zhao Yu led the 28 soldiers as a group for the daily mission..
