Chapter 262: Residents of the Shelter

Back in the safe zone, Lan Ximeng and her teammates saw Lu Renjia and his team busy building a defense wall for the safe zone.

Unlike the construction of houses, the construction of this city wall did not require them to build it with their own hands. Lu Renjia's team used automated robots to carry out construction. After being programmed, these robots were able to efficiently complete the construction of the city wall.

As long as the program is set up correctly, the robot can build the city wall within one day, greatly improving construction efficiency.

In just a few days, the safe zone had begun to take on the scale of a shelter. Houses, defensive walls and other infrastructure gradually took shape, giving people a solid sense of security.

"Oh, you came back early today. It's only four o'clock in the afternoon." Lu Renjia poked his head out from the wall and greeted Niu Lai.

The mission was successfully completed. Niu Lai was in a good mood. He smiled and said, "There is no danger today."

He glanced at the unified buildings in the safe zone and asked, "How long will it take you to complete the construction of this defensive wall?"

"It can be completed today. It will be quick with the help of robots, but it cannot be used in house construction." Lu Renjia shook his head, his eyes full of regret. One of the settings of this robot is that it cannot help students build houses. I wonder if the person who assigns the task has a strong interest in building houses by hand.

"So how many rooms do you still have to complete?" Niu Lai asked again.

"We have built 6 rooms now, and we still have 14 to go. If we work faster, we can finish it within 6 days." Although Lu Renjia and his team have more people than Niu Lai's team, they don't have mechas, so their speed is not much faster.

Niu Lai nodded, "It's already the third day, you need to speed up."

"Didn't you also request 10 rooms? Why don't you move?"

"Let's start tomorrow. We have mechas, so it will be faster." After Niu Lai said this, he waved goodbye to Lu Renjia and left.

Lu Renjia looked at the six people and six dogs leaving, his eyes full of envy.

"It's great to have mecha."

Those six dogs might be able to help, I’m so envious.

"Captain, why are you standing there? Come over and help!"

Lu Renjia put away his envious mood and walked towards the direction of the sound carrying an electric net.

The six people returned to the team room, took a rest and then waited for Niu Lai's next arrangement.

"Although one of the tasks has been completed, we still need to check it regularly." Niu Lai looked at Lan Ximeng and Ding Xiahe, "Lan Ximeng, Ding Xiahe, you should take two hours every day to go out for inspection. If there are any problems, notify us in time."

Lan Ximeng and Ding Xiahe nodded at the same time.

"Now we are going to start completing our construction tasks." Niu Lai took out a piece of paper and said, "This paper is designed by Lu Renjia's team. We will carry out the construction according to their team's layout. In the next few days, except for Lan Ximeng and Ding Xiahe, everyone else should rest less and work more."

"Does anyone have any other ideas?" Niu Lai looked around and asked for everyone's opinions.

"No." The team members answered in unison.

"Very good." Niu Lai looked at the time. It was 4:30 pm on the 11th. "Then let's get started now."

The six people came to a clearing and began to build a house according to the blueprint.

Lan Ximeng and Chu Dongyi came to the place where the materials were stored, put all the materials to be used into the space, and transported them to the construction site.

Ding Xiahe drove the mecha and started digging the foundation.

With the cooperation of several people, they completed the minimum requirement of 10 rooms on the fourth day.

“How about we build a few more rooms?” Ma Qianqian felt that it would look better if there were more rooms than the minimum requirement.

Niu Lai nodded, "Okay, there's still time."

At this moment, a hurried call came from Niu Lai's light brain.

"It's Lan Ximeng!" Niu Lai saw that it was Lan Ximeng calling and immediately picked up the phone.

"Captain, something happened. A group of people came outside, followed by a group of mutant rhinos! There are more than a hundred of them!" Lan Ximeng's voice was accompanied by the sound of urgent wind.

Hearing this, Niu Lai shouted: "Come back quickly!"

The group of people outside don’t know their identities, so naturally their lives are not as valuable as their teammates’.

"We are on our way back, hurry up and defend yourself, these people are running towards us!" Lan Ximeng sat on Coco's back and hurried back with Ding Xiahe.

That group of people was thousands of miles away from their patrol area and did not discover them.

However, judging from their firm goals, there should be students among them who are dedicated to the task.

But now they were too far away, and the other side had too many people, so she couldn't confirm whether there were any students inside.

Soon, Lan Ximeng and the other person arrived at the defensive wall.

The wall was completed a few days ago and heavy defensive weapons were installed on it.

"Hurry up and come up!" Niu Lai and others came to the defensive wall, even Lu Renjia's team who had been busy building houses were there.

Lan Ximeng nodded, and she and Ding Xiahe quickly entered the safe zone.

After they came in, the city gate was closed immediately, with blue electric light flashing on it.

"They are getting closer." Niu Lai saw countless red dots coming towards this side from the console.

"Do you know who are the people in the crowd in front?" Li Fan turned around and asked Lan Ximeng.

Lan Ximeng shook her head and said, "I don't know. They were running the whole time and there were no other characteristics on their bodies. They were all wearing the same clothes, so it was hard to tell them apart." Moreover, she had never seen the faces of the people outside.

Niu Lai picked up the telescope and saw the person in front.

"I know the person in front. I've seen him before on University Star." Niu Lai was also confused now.

Others were also paying attention to the scene, and someone noticed that some rhinos turned their heads as if they had seen something scary. But after the rhino in front seemed to dig something out of the ground, it wanted to turn around and ran with the crowd again.

"Oh no, the ice snake shed that we used to scare away the mutant animals has been discovered by them, and now the low-level mutant rhinos are running towards this side." Lan Ximeng originally thought that with the deterrent left by the ice snake, most of the low-level mutant rhinos should be able to scare away.

Now it seems impossible.

"What should I do?" Ding Xiahe held the necklace. Now she wanted to enter the mecha and rescue the classmates who were being chased outside.

"Ding Xiahe, fly the mecha in the air and attack the leading rhino." Niu Lai said to Ding Xiahe.

"yes!"

"We'll stay where we are and use long-range attacks." This was the only way Niu Lai could use.

If there were more than a dozen of them, they could still go out and rescue them with dogs, but that was impossible now. The dog certainly wouldn't dare to come forward.

"yes."

Ding Xiahe instantly entered the mecha and flew towards the rhino.

Lan Ximeng and a few others took their weapons and began to prepare for long-range attacks. At the same time, Niu Lai took out his light brain and sent a call for help to the nearest army.

"Boom boom boom!" In the distance, Ding Xiahe has begun attacking.

The crowd, having gotten a temporary respite, began to speed up.

The student running in the front began to slow down and said to his teammates: "Everyone, stop and start attacking!"

"yes!"

A group of students began to fire their weapons, counterattacking and retreating under the protection of mechas.

The ordinary people running behind were crying and quickly ran past the students.

"Thanks!"

Saying thank you was the last thing they could do. For the sake of their own lives, they dared not stay.

"Increase the firepower!" Lan Ximeng took out all the weapons that Lan Yuncheng gave her in her own space.

The most powerful long-range weapon of the people here is the sniper rifle, but it is not enough when facing the rhinoceros with strong defense.

Li Fan took a rocket launcher and fired at the rhino in the middle.
