On a certain street
A group of survivors are slowly moving forward.
Everyone carried a backpack, their bodies completely covered, and they held weapons such as machetes and pitchforks.
The procession moved very slowly.
But they weren't worried about encountering danger; in fact, they didn't need to carry weapons. They just wanted to avoid encountering zombies within the South First Ring Road.
It's harder than finding food.
but.
I feel unsafe scavenging without weapons; it's just a habit. In the apocalypse, you can never be too cautious.
"It's been cleaned up so well, there's not a single zombie left!"
"They cleared such a large area so quickly, those hunting team members are amazing!"
“I originally had the opportunity to join the hunting team, but I was too thin when they were selecting people, so Miss Liu didn’t take a liking to me.”
"I heard that this cleanup had little to do with the hunting team; it was all Mr. Lin's doing."
"Really...?"
"Of course it's true. I even used a loaf of bread to find out this information, let me tell you..."
As they chatted...
The scavenging team arrived at a crossroads.
The middle-aged man leading the group slowly stopped, looked at a little girl beside him, and asked softly:
"Yaoyao, which way do you think we should go?"
"Let's go this way."
The little girl stretched out her right hand and pointed in a direction, "I remember there's a food street over here, there should be food there."
Logically speaking...
Supermarkets, convenience stores, and shopping centers are the best places to find food, just look at how the little girl looked just now.
Her choice was based entirely on feeling, without any basis.
but.
The man in the lead nodded, agreeing to the choice immediately, "Okay, let's go to that food street."
Strangely enough.
The other team members didn't seem to have any objections either.
It's not that they're acting recklessly.
The main thing is that following the little girl does lead to food; although this is a bit mystical, it's a fact.
............
After making several turns.
The group successfully arrived at the popular food street. This place used to be quite famous, and college students from the surrounding area would come here specifically to eat.
The man in the lead was still very cautious.
First, a few people were sent out to scout out the situation and make sure there were no zombies nearby before they dispersed to look for food.
Not long after.
One girl found a bag of starch sausages, while in a nearby shop, a boy found a box of unopened instant noodles.
That's all.
Their trip was already worthwhile.
"Yao Yao".
"Why don't you stay here with me and watch over the food? When we get back, we'll distribute it all together, and everyone will get a share."
The little girl shook her head upon hearing this: "Uncle Xu, everyone is working hard to find food, I can't be lazy."
"Okay, just remember not to go too far."
Besides looking for food.
She also wanted to try her luck nearby to see if she could find any glowing pebbles, which Brother Lin and Sister Liu both really liked.
In a convenience store.
Wow, there's even milk!
The little girl took two bottles of milk out of the cupboard, turned them upside down, and found that they were still within their expiration dates.
He quickly took off his small backpack, put it on the ground, unzipped it, and put two bottles of milk into the backpack.
Zip up the zipper.
The little girl smiled contentedly.
"We have biscuits, bread, milk, and several packs of instant noodles. If we're careful, it'll last us a long time."
The only regret is...
She didn't find any glowing stones this time, but she was thinking of bringing a gift back for her brother Lin.
"It's still early."
"It's safe here. There are no zombies even at night. I'm going to look around in other places."
Put on your schoolbag.
The little girl had just stepped out of the convenience store when she bumped into a woman who smiled at her.
"Yaoyao, did you find anything?"
The girl nodded upon hearing this: "Yeah, I was lucky enough to find a few bottles of milk that hadn't expired."
"Since you've already searched for this convenience store, I'll go look at other places."
We arrived on the street.
Seeing that everyone was searching for nearby shops, I thought about it and decided to go somewhere else and check out the streets next door.
We've already gained more than enough this time.
That woman was just about to search the barbecue restaurant next door to see if she could find a few more packs of starch sausages.
Suddenly, I saw the little girl walking over.
"Yaoyao, do you want to search for this store with me?"
The girl shook her head: "Sister, you can search. I'm going to wander around to other places."
Upon hearing this...
The woman was somewhat moved by what she heard.
Although the collected food will be distributed uniformly, it will not be distributed equally; it will be distributed according to merit.
Every time I go out to scavenge.
The girl always managed to win first place thanks to her incredible luck, and she always got the most food.
but.
She would voluntarily share some food with the team members who hadn't gotten anything at all.
Go and explore other places.
This clearly shows that she doesn't want to steal the credit from her.
The woman reached into her pocket, took out the half-eaten starch sausage, and stuffed it into the little girl's hand.
"Don't go too far."
soon.
The little girl came to the corner of the road ahead and saw a convenience store nearby, so she went straight there.
I just entered the store.
Then I saw a woman lying in the corner.
The girl was startled and instinctively turned and ran away, but stopped after running a short distance.
"I think I just saw... the clothes that woman was wearing..."
I hesitated for a moment.
The girl turned around and ran back, cautiously approaching the woman to confirm that she hadn't misjudged her.
Immediately afterwards.
They noticed that she seemed to have a wound on her arm, and that part of her clothes was stained red with blood.
In the apocalypse, having wounds and bleeding speaks volumes.
The girl ran away again...
............
"Miss Liu said."
"We are too few people to go deep into the city. We can only continue hunting and clearing out the zombies in the city center."
Inside the room.
Zhu Wei is reporting on the situation.
Lin Mo sat cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed, seemingly meditating.
That is indeed the case.
When he was playing games with Xu Qingluo this morning, he chose a character who had the skill of healing through meditation.
He was thinking about that at the time.
Meditation is related to the spiritual and mental aspects of life, so it might be helpful to you. Give it a try; it might have amazing effects.
And it really was true.
After trying it once, he discovered that meditation could not only slowly improve mental strength, but also help him "digest"!
and.
The effect was better than when he went out to exercise, so he just lay down and did the work of cleaning up the zombies.
Let's leave it to someone else.
"Miss Liu also said..."
"The zombies that have escaped from inside the city may be very strong, making them more difficult to clear out, or even impossible."
"She told you to prepare yourself mentally in advance."
Upon hearing this, Lin Mo slowly opened his eyes.
"Do as she says, withdraw everyone to maintain order and see what happens next."
Zhu Wei nodded and continued, "Miss Liu said that if we want to move forward..."
"Unless everyone on the commercial street is armed, five hundred armed combatants will barely have a chance."
Arming everyone is not realistic.
Putting aside the issue of loyalty, the people on the commercial street are starving every day; it's questionable whether they can even take up arms.
After reporting the situation.
Zhu Wei didn't disturb Lin Mo's meditation and turned to leave the room.
"well."
"We still don't have enough manpower. If it were really as Liu Shiman said, it would be great to be able to get a large army of robots."
Although Grey Wolf is very capable.
But he can't conjure up an army out of thin air; he still has several missions to complete.
What a coincidence!
Suddenly, the bracelet lit up with a blue light. After activating it, I opened the window and saw that it was a message from Grey Wolf.
Grey Wolf: "Mr. Lin, I've drawn up the upgrade blueprints for the robot, the design blueprints for the armor, and the improvement blueprints for the technological firearms."
The drawings are finished so quickly?
The blueprints are all done, and now we can officially start making them. He will soon have these three great treasures.
At that time.
Continuing to advance into the city should be fine, right?
At this critical juncture, instead of hurrying to start making it, Grey Wolf took the initiative to send him a message.
I guess they've encountered some kind of problem.
Lin Mo: "Why are you contacting me all of a sudden? Is something wrong?"
Grey Wolf: "There is a problem."
Grey Wolf: "All three blueprints use crystal cores as the main energy source, so this design is the most perfect."
Grey Wolf: "According to my calculations, the crystal cores you provided are only enough to complete one project."
There aren't enough crystal nuclei.
However, he didn't have any extra crystal cores to provide to Grey Wolf, as he had absorbed all the crystal cores he had collected recently.
Lin Mo: "I don't have any extra crystal cores right now, but I'll try to get you another batch later."
Grey Wolf: "Originally, I planned to push forward all three projects at the same time, but now I can only prioritize one."
Grey Wolf: "Mr. Lin, which project should I start with?"
Lin Mo: "Which project is the fastest?"
Grey Wolf: "Technological firearms are the fastest. I have ready-made products; I just need to change the energy device."
Lin Mo: "Then let's do this first."
This is pretty good too.
I'll upgrade my men's weapons then.
Although they are still unable to advance into the city, the power of their high-tech firearms is undeniable, but the lack of manpower is a major problem.
Even a large number of ants can kill an elephant.
But at least there's no need to worry about dealing with the high-level zombies that have escaped from the city.
Hang up the phone.
Lin Mo stood up and stretched, preparing to go outside for some fresh air.
I just pushed the door open.
They noticed Zhu Wei walking towards them, but hadn't he just left? Could he have left something behind?
"What's wrong?"
"Boss Lin, I just ran into Zhao Feiyu when I went downstairs. He just came back from the commercial street."
Zhu Wei slowly said, "He received a message and was just about to come and inform you."
"What news?"
"There was a scavenging team on the commercial street. When they went out to look for food, they unexpectedly picked up a beautiful woman."
Lin Mo was speechless.
A beautiful woman... Does he seem so shallow that he needs to come all the way to inform him of this kind of information?
I was just about to start giving them a lecture.
Zhu Wei added, "This woman seems to be someone special; she's wearing an official uniform..."
