97 Days of Scavenging

News of the protective shield had already spread among most interested people in both bases. However, they didn't know why Boss Ji hadn't brought it out for trade, and they didn't dare to ask rashly, for fear of appearing greedy and having the opposite effect.

But those who know this news all hope that one day they will be able to trade for the shield.

However, they didn't know that the reason the little robot wasn't being shown wasn't because they hadn't developed a single-player version. In fact, it was just a matter of making slight modifications to certain parts, which would be a piece of cake for the little robot. He and Lin Jian had already figured it out while they were on their way.

However, no one expressed a desire to trade this item, and the little robot assumed that everyone wanted to practice in the crisis, so it didn't bring it up itself.

While making this guess, the little robot still admired the humans of this world.

But for now, let's ask. After all, those few superhumans might be able to survive this crisis, but these two researchers might have some difficulty. Based on the information the little robot has collected about the physical condition of humans in this world, even if they don't fall from this height, just being tossed and turned in the air for a long time will cause their vital signs to drop significantly.

With this in mind, the little robot was prepared to put the protective shield on the two researchers separately if the superhumans refused to use it.

However, this preparation is clearly unnecessary.

Upon hearing the little robot produce a protective shield, Captain Yuan Long, the superpowered leader, practically raised both hands and feet in agreement.

After clarifying how to use it, Yuanlong quickly opened the protective shield.

In the blink of an eye, the entire helicopter was enveloped in a transparent protective shield, as if it were wrapped in a giant bubble.

In the short time it took to set up the protective shield, the flock of zombie birds was already very close to their helicopter. Those with good eyesight could even see the sharp beaks of the zombie birds clearly.

The birds that have been turned into zombies are nothing like the docile birds they were before the apocalypse. With their sharp beaks, the metal shell of a helicopter can't withstand more than a few pecks from them!

All those with superpowers were on high alert.

Closer, even closer!

The moment the helicopter made contact with the flock of zombie birds, the helicopter pilot didn't know how much willpower he used to keep his hands on the helm from shaking.

He was even prepared to plummet straight down if the protective shield failed!

Fortunately, the protective shield was just as effective as rumored!

Flocks of disfigured zombie birds pounded the protective shield like tiny cannonballs, causing the transparent shield to ripple with a faint blue light.

However, no matter how many impacts it suffered, the protective shield remained firmly in place.

The people inside the helicopter didn't even feel the slightest jolt from the impact.

Only after the helicopter had completely passed through the flock of zombie birds, and the zombie birds, no longer able to move because of the strange sphere wrapped in some unknown object, flew straight ahead, did everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

"My God, I never imagined I would be in such close contact with these zombie birds."

"Who says otherwise? I'm sweating profusely right now."

"Hurry up, hurry up, don't let those guys come after us again."

"Where are they headed? There shouldn't be any bases ahead, right? If there are, send them a message to warn them."

"Yes, Captain."

In just a few words, the previous tension gradually dissipated.

When the several superhumans looked at the little robot again, they had completely lost all their vigilance and wariness.

After all, if he really wanted to do something, he wouldn't need to take out the protective shield at all.

So this person is indeed on the side of humanity!

The two researchers looked at the little robot with even more satisfaction. Then, with the little robot's consent, they pulled the researchers aside to discuss the principles of the protective shield and related matters.

Later, the little robot gave each of the two researchers a single-person protective shield and said they could conduct research as they pleased, and it didn't mind if the technology was leaked.

The two researchers were so surprised and overjoyed that they didn't know what to do.

Even those with superpowers cast envious glances their way.

Then we all expressed that we also wanted to trade the protective shield.

Even if you don't use this kind of wonderful thing yourself, it's still a divine item for your relatives and friends!

No matter how high the price, they were all determined to make a deal.

Then we got the little robot's answer: "50 square meters of garbage".

Everyone: "??!"

Did I hear that right? So, a single-person protective shield can be obtained by trading a mere 50 square meters of trash?!

It's not 50 square meters of food, nor is it 50 square meters of crystal cores, it's just 50 square meters of garbage!

In no time, everyone gained a deeper understanding of Najitong's strange hobby of liking garbage.

Then, she patted her chest and assured everyone that there was absolutely no problem, even 100 square meters!

In peacetime, finding trash in a 50-square-meter area is easy, let alone in this apocalypse! There's trash everywhere you look, you don't even need to fight for it!

Moments later, the helicopter landed in an abandoned small town.

Well, they're not in a hurry to get back to the capital base anyway. Since they're all out here, they might as well finish picking up the trash in the 50 square meters first, trade for the protective shield, and then continue their journey.

Even the composed helicopter pilot didn't object to the suggestion.

There was no way around it; the protective shield's performance against the zombie bird swarm had made them incredibly eager to have their own.

The little robot had no objection to this.

Anyway, the trash they pick up is for themselves.

When it comes to picking up trash, the little robot only felt regret for a moment before forgetting about the loss of income from the Hope Base and the Mountain Base shops.

Because without those two places, and with the endless stream of garbage brought to him by the zombies at the dock.

In fact, due to the convenience of their status, they brought more garbage here than both bases combined!

After all, zombies don't need to eat, rest, or sleep. As long as they're not fighting with humans, they spend the rest of their time diligently scavenging for trash.

And it's the kind of selfless act.

It's so convenient to use!

That's why the little robot is taking its promise to make the zombie antidote to heart even more.

The helicopter didn't linger on the road for long. Each of the superhumans present was capable of handling things on their own, so at most they were just picking up trash. Soon, piles of trash were placed in front of the little robot, which collected them into the recycling bin.

The little robot kept its promise and delivered the single-person protective shield to these superhumans.

After that, they stopped on the road, and because of the protective shields, they didn't even have time to avoid sudden dangers. That night, some of them had already entered the area of ​​the capital base.

The base in the capital had already received news that they were coming back.

We've also learned about this guest, Najitong.

The people at the capital base had never interacted with the little robot before, and their level of trust in him was not particularly high, but they trusted the researchers and superhumans they had sent out.

After confirming that neither the two researchers nor the several ability users possessed significant psychic abilities, the leaders of the capital base, after only a moment's thought, ordered the two researchers to take the small robot directly to the research institute, based on their expressed trust in it.

This shows that you trust him.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have allowed the little robot to come into direct contact with the valuable zombie virus researchers.

What happened next told the leaders of the capital base that he had clearly made the right choice.

In just two days, the little robot had already gained the approval of all the researchers at the Capital Base Research Institute. In fact, if it hadn't been for his own unintentional actions, the position of chief researcher at the institute would have been given to the little robot directly.

No matter which researcher in the institute, no matter how eccentric or arrogant they were, when they spoke of Mr. Najitong, their tone was filled with amazement and admiration.

It didn't sound like they were referring to a researcher they worked with, but rather like they were talking about a great figure from a textbook.

The leaders of the base in the capital almost doubted their ears when they heard the news.

But then he laughed happily.

The greater Mr. Najitong's abilities, the greater the hope for humanity, right?

Therefore, this leader of the capital base was very bold and directly granted the little robot exceptionally lenient permissions within the capital base. When the robot requested to open a supply trading shop, he also sent people to do their best to fulfill the request.

Of course, after the goods trading shop opened, the person in charge became increasingly glad that his decision was wise.

In short, the little robot was very happy at the capital base.

The progress on the antidote is also going well. The issues that were previously causing problems have now been resolved.

While everything was going well for the little robot, the two zombie kings at Qiuhe Wharf were also having a good time.

And it went incredibly smoothly.

Ever since their communication problem was resolved, the two zombie kings have been chattering incessantly, and even the previously aloof dockside zombie king couldn't help but chatter away.

They completely transformed into two chattering monsters.

After they had finished their chatter, the two zombie kings decided, without prior arrangement, to go out for a stroll.

Well, as for encountering other high-level zombies on the road, it's only natural to grab them and boast about being able to speak human language.

Not content with their boasting, the two even tried to capture a few humans to chat with them.

After all, other zombies can only roar, while humans can talk back and forth.

However, they didn't do that in the end because they were entangled with another zombie king.

The territory occupied by that zombie king would seem familiar to the little robot if it knew it.

It was Pingcheng, which was near where he first came to this world.

As mentioned before, Pingcheng had long been occupied by zombies, and that huge city had become a no-man's land, and this had been going on for quite some time.

So the idea that a zombie king was hiding in the shadows wasn't too surprising.

The dock zombie king and the ivy zombie king went around showing off to high-level zombies, and their boasting eventually reached the hands of the Pingcheng zombie king.

Then came the zombie king, whose ability to pester people was extremely strong.

The Zombie Queen of Pingcheng is a tall girl who always dresses herself up beautifully. She owns an entire city and can choose any kind of clothes and jewelry in the shopping mall. She can also use any cosmetics she wants. At first glance, you can't even tell that she is a zombie.

The thing this zombie king of Pingcheng is most dissatisfied with about himself right now is his particularly unpleasant voice.

That hoarse, rough voice was hardly worthy of a beautiful zombie like her!

This person's favorite thing to do is to find ways to restore their voice.

She searched through all the pharmacies and hospitals in Pingcheng, stuffing all sorts of random medicines into her mouth, hoping to use this method to restore her voice.

Anyway, she's a zombie now, so she won't get poisoned by drugs.

Although he has no memories of his pre-zombie days, the Heicheng Zombie King is very confident that his voice must have been exceptionally beautiful before!

So when they heard that two zombies could actually speak human language, how could they not rush out?!

She originally planned to take the two zombies back to her Pingcheng to study them slowly, and even thought about digging out their throats and stuffing them into her own. But after arriving, she found that the two were at the same level as her.

There's nothing that can be done about it if someone tries to force it.

Sigh, then let's go for the gentler one.

In the end, the two zombie kings couldn't withstand the entanglement.

Suddenly, the staff at the capital base, who were constantly monitoring large hordes of zombies, discovered that a huge, dark mass of zombies was moving over Pingcheng!

And it's very fast!

Judging by the direction they're heading, they're heading straight for the capital base! They've even bypassed the smaller bases in between!

The news quickly reached the leaders of the base in the capital.

The leaders of the capital base immediately convened a meeting of all senior base personnel.

The no-man's-land around Pingcheng is arguably the area with the most zombies, the largest area affected, and the highest level of danger in the north.

It was also one of the first places to fall to the Japanese.

Later, when people discovered that there were advanced zombies among the zombies, and even more advanced zombies, they had already speculated that there might be a zombie king in Pingcheng.

They also tried to attack this place with large weapons such as nuclear bombs, but these things always landed silently on Pingcheng's territory.

You might say one is a dud, but it's impossible for them all to be duds!

Therefore, there must be something even more powerful here.

However, humans currently have no way to deal with it.

Fortunately, the place seemed quite stable, and the entity inside showed no intention of coming out. It hadn't changed much over such a long period of time, which allowed the humans to relax a little.

But now this place is moving!!
