Waves of beast roars echoed in the night sky, and Zhao Yu stopped in front of a big tree, walking slightly hesitantly.
"Where to go?"
After being kicked out of the town, Zhao Yu was worried that Meng Xian would change his mind and ran away.
But not long after entering the woods, he began to stop moving forward again, his eyes filled with confusion.
Especially when he has no guns in his hands, not even a dagger that can be used to fight.
After all, he has no night vision. Even though he has been active at night for more than a year, he is still no match for those wild beasts.
After hesitating for a moment, Zhao Yu looked back and saw that the distance between this place and the town was moderate, not too far or too close. It might be dangerous to continue walking.
"Climb the tree!"
Zhao Yu sighed and started to climb the tree. His arms were tied for a day, and his strength was limited due to poor blood circulation. He almost fell off several times.
It took a lot of effort to finally climb to the top of the tree trunk, but he did not dare to climb too high for fear of being picked up by birds in the air.
Sitting on the tree trunk, Zhao Yu moved his body, broke off a few branches nearby, and tied his body to the big tree.
He was a little lucky. Fortunately, the trees in this world were very tall and their trunks were thick enough to lie down and sleep.
There are a lot of bumps on the trunk, and Zhao Yu has nowhere to place his head.
After moving around a few times, I found a position that was relatively better, but required me to sleep with my head tilted.
After struggling for a while, Zhao Yu finally lay down, not daring to move, facing up, just enough to see the sparse starry sky through the leaves.
"Why me?!"
Zhao Yu felt a sense of grievance arise spontaneously. He was a little confused. Why was he the one who came to this world instead of his true body?!
Logically speaking, he and the main body should be one, but at this moment, he couldn't stop feeling uncomfortable in his mind.
After some random thoughts, Zhao Yu's brain gradually became clear.
"I..."
"I am me first, and my clone secondly..."
Zhao Yu didn't know if his thoughts were a little deviant, but he didn't want to die. He was sure that when his body died, 'I' would be gone.
"How would I feel if the main body died?!"
"If the first clone dies, will I be the first clone?"
"Both of them are dead, could I be the real body?!"
"After my last wish is fulfilled and my consciousness resonates, am I still me?!"
After some soul-searching and self-answering, Zhao Yu fell into a drowsy sleep.
At night, accompanied by the sounds of many nocturnal creatures fighting and roaring, Zhao Yu woke up and fell asleep again, tossing and turning, and finally made it to the next day.
At dawn, the woods became quiet.
Zhao Yu sat up, leaned on the trunk, subconsciously looked towards the way he came from, and unexpectedly saw the roof of the town.
"Sure enough, we didn't go far..."
His energy and blood surged a little, and he slowly stood up, and sure enough he saw more town buildings.
After leaving, I understood the significance of a gathering place for human beings. Even looking at it from a distance, I felt less lonely.
At this moment, he was filled with emotions and wanted to leave here, but he couldn't move his eyes away, always staring over there.
……
"I shouldn't have let him go!"
In the underground shelter, Meng Xian looked at the scars on Xu Menglan's body and became increasingly angry.
She originally thought that the abuse Xu Menglan suffered was limited, but she didn't know that the area was so large.
In addition to various whip marks and scars, what angered her most was the two words on Xu Menglan's butt.
"That scumbag, I will kill him next time we meet!"
Xu Menglan opened her mouth, thinking that Zhao Yu would never come back, so she didn't say anything else.
After washing and dressing up, Meng Xian returned to the ground. The four men who were sleeping on the ground had already gotten up and were guarding the patio.
After a brief greeting, Meng Xian called everyone together, delivered a speech on the reconstruction of Mengjiazhuang, and began to arrange the work.
"Azhen, Nana, you two check this house and the two houses next door to eliminate all possible threats..."
"Menglan, the three of you sisters, after the two of them have completed their investigation, clean these three houses in turn..."
After all, underground shelters have a limited area and cannot accommodate too many people.
Meng Xian's idea is to continue to let the three sisters live down there, while they, the strengtheners, all live in the houses on the ground. Anyway, there are ready-made houses, and there is no need to rebuild them. They only need to be cleaned before they can move in.
"Pigeon, you are from the perception system. Find a commanding height nearby and be on guard. Be careful not to be snatched away by the eagle..."
After a man heard this, he took the order and left.
In addition to enhancing the user's physical fitness, the gene potions produced by Luwei Group can also enhance the abilities of various organs.
Eyesight, hearing, smell, feeling, etc. all have corresponding gene potions.
Compared with the combat system, this type has extremely limited enhancement of personal strength. The success rate is similar, but the mortality rate is lower than that of the combat system. However, there will also be side effects with varying effects after failure.
For example, if you fail to use a genetic potion that enhances your eyesight, you may become blind, but there are also genetic mutations that allow you to see things that are invisible to the naked eye. Likewise, this mutation is irreversible and will definitely form.
It will lose its original human vision and turn into eyes similar to those of animals or other creatures.
But no matter how this type of gene potion enhancer mutates in the end, in terms of combat ability, it will always be inferior to any first-level enhancer, so the organ enhancers are unified into the perception system.
For those who have the ability to come into contact with the Reed Group and are prepared to bear the consequences of failure, the first choice is the combat type of gene potion. Only when all types are not up to standard and are unwilling to be mediocre will they choose to develop into the perception system and become strong.
vassal.
"Xiao Liu, take people to chop some wood nearby and build a fence around these three houses. It doesn't need to be high or strong, as long as it can be used as a buffer to prevent wild animals from touching the edge of the house..." p>
Meng Xian issued instructions one after another. It must be said that as the owner of Mengjiazhuang, she still has some skills.
In just one morning, a proposed gathering place was built.
With the shelter as the center, wooden fences are used to connect three nearby houses into one, forming a larger yard.
Not only that, Meng Xian also asked people to make a net out of tree branches and put it on the top of the yard to prevent eagles from grabbing people.
"Menglan, you three sisters can also move around in this yard from now on..."
……
At noon, Zhao Yu sat on a stone, holding in his hand a tree trunk that was two to three centimeters thick and one and a half meters long. All the branches and leaves had been removed, and a sharp point was ground out of one end of the trunk.
"It's done..."
Looking at the relatively straight simple spear in his hand, Zhao Yu showed a knowing smile.
Next, he will rely on this thing to defend himself. At least he will have to wait until the next town to find some weapons that can be used.
"I don't know what's going on over there..."
Zhao Yu hesitated for a moment, then climbed up the big tree. After reaching a suitable height, he looked towards the town.
"Fence...branch net...yard..."
In the yard, Sulan and Xiulan were chasing each other with a piece of pancake covered with sesame seeds, looking very happy.
The human-powered engine that originally stayed in the shelter was now placed in the yard with a backpack, and Xiaoliu and Ling had a man riding on it and pedaling hard.
Meng Xian put her hands on her hips and pointed at the others, but everyone seemed to have a smile on their face.
In addition, Zhao Yu also saw a few unfamiliar faces, who seemed to be new people joining the team.
In the center of the yard, there are two fresh wild boar carcasses, and two women are skinning them.
In just half a day, the originally lonely town became full of people.
Zhao Yu didn't know how long it had been since he had seen such a scene. It was as if he had returned to the end of the world, and he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.
But then he became a little confused, "Didn't I just travel through time?!"
Unknowingly, the memory of the original owner seemed to affect him, making him unable to realize that he had traveled through time.
"Moreover, I seem to have become sentimental..."
"Wow~~!"
A gust of wind blew by, causing fallen leaves to drift. Zhao Yu stretched out his hand and caught a leaf. It was green with yellow, and had strange textures. It had the unique beauty of alien plants.
He came to his senses, threw down the leaves, took one last look in the direction of the yard, and sighed in a low voice.
"It's a pity that it has nothing to do with me anymore..."
Returning to the ground, Zhao Yu picked up the simple spear and took steps in the opposite direction to the town without looking back.
Zhao Yu has not lost hope. In his mind, there is still an E-class micro base that can be installed.
Having experience in installing lunar bases, Zhao Yu knew very well that he needed to find a place large enough to place more buildings.
But the most urgent task is to go to a nearby town and find a weapon.
Regarding the location of the base, Zhao Yu has two options in mind.
One is the airport outside Shihai City. It has been abandoned for a long time, and the parked planes left it as early as the first year of the apocalypse.
The location of the airport is not far from the city or the wild. The surrounding residents believed that the enemy country would prioritize attacking the airport, so they all moved away early.
There is another location, which is a chemical factory outside Qingming County.
Zhao Yu doesn't know what the situation is there, but he feels that after the base is completed, some things from the chemical plant may be needed.
At the beginning, Zhao Yu walked more cautiously, turning back after three steps. If there was any disturbance, he stopped and watched.
Later, I discovered that some plants and trees were in danger. During the day, all kinds of wild beasts returned to their nests to rest.
The speed gradually increased, and when night fell again, the hungry Zhao Yu finally arrived at the outskirts of the town.
【Daily task refresh】
[Kill the alien species on the first floor of the grocery store. Reward: 30 technology points.]
"Daily tasks?!"
Zhao Yu was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that the micro base also comes with a mission system.
30 technology points, it’s hard to tell whether it’s more or less. The amount can only be determined based on the prices of other types of buildings after the micro base is completed.
Calculating the time, the mission refresh happened to be the day after the system prompted him to have a micro base.
After hesitating for a while, Zhao Yu decided to take over the task.
A heterogeneous human being who has been mutated due to radiation from mutant beasts. He is much stronger than ordinary people. With his physical fitness that has been injected with gene potions, it should not be difficult to defeat him.
Arriving at the edge of the woods, Zhao Yu looked at the situation of the town from a distance.
As far as the eye can see, it is pitch black, as if no one lives there.
After observing for a while, I saw no movement. On the contrary, in the woods behind me, there were endless strange sounds of wild beasts.
Zhao Yu took a deep breath, picked up the spear, and quietly walked toward the town.
This town is small, with three streets, one connected to the main road and the other two running parallel.
Zhao Yu cut in from the southwest of the town and approached the nearest two-story house.
The courtyard door of the house is wide open. The courtyard is overgrown with weeds, garbage is everywhere, and cockroaches and mice are running around. It seems that no one has lived in it for a long time.
Seeing this, Zhao Yu felt relieved, which meant that no one should live in the house.
However, he still has the vigilance he should have and enters cautiously as always.
"Creak~~!"
When I pushed open the small room near the courtyard door, I was suddenly surprised by a bunch of living mice. After a burst of squeaking, they ran into the hole in the corner and fled.
The small room was not big, and there were not many things on it. There were two pairs of rubber shoes that were bitten and riddled with holes at the door.
After a brief inspection, Zhao Yu's eyes suddenly stopped next to a farm tool.
"Hoe?!"
He was a little happy that in the house he entered, there were still farm tools that had not been taken away.
After arriving and picking up the hoe, Zhao Yu realized why this thing had not been taken away.
This is basically a hoe-shaped plastic toy, but I don’t know what happened to it. It’s pitch black and looks real.
"Damn it!"
Zhao Yu threw down the plastic and walked out with a glum look on his face.
He just said, how could the scavengers leave such farm tools without taking away their feathers?
After leaving the small room, Zhao Yu entered the main room and rummaged around for a while, and he actually found an iron fire stick in the ashes under the fire bed.
"That's good!"
The fire stick is not long, only thirty or forty centimeters, but it is made of iron after all and is stronger than the branch in his hand.
When Zhao Yu walked out of the house, his whole body became shabby, and his hands were even black.
But at the moment, he didn't care about his image. He wiped the fire stick with his coat, and then hung the end with the hook on his waist.
After leaving the house, Zhao Yu originally planned to continue searching and find one or two more handy weapons, but his stomach was empty, stomach acid surged up in waves, and his head was even dizzy from hunger.
"Can't find it anymore..."
Zhao Yu realized that his physical strength was declining. If he continued to search, he might not have the strength to find alien species.
It is not realistic to find food in a place like this. Zhao Yu just wants to kill the alien species as soon as possible. After making sure it is safe, he will catch a few mice and add some more.
When he first arrived at the shelter, he didn't even bother to eat rats, but now, that's all he can do.
After searching for a while, Zhao Yu discovered the alien species. He was digging in a cellar in the grocery store.
