"Also, as our relatively safe exploration area expands, I've located a pre-Cataclysm repair shop in the new area. You might be able to find some usable parts there. Yuze, Xiaojing, please go explore it.
The repair shop wasn't large, and compared to a power plant, its interior and exterior were uncomplicated. Based on the drone footage, aside from a few zombies and the occasional zombie dog, no other dangers were apparent.
Of course, the range of mutants' activities is irregular, and it's possible that a mutant might suddenly appear nearby. Therefore, you must be careful when searching for the right accessories and avoid being careless.
As for the mission to investigate the Blackthorn Company, let's put it on hold. We already know a lot about the Blackthorn Company. Aside from the lack of a Level 4 Awakener, we're already superior to the Blackthorn Company in every other respect."
Fei Changyuan finished assigning tasks to Gu Yuze and Cong Jing, then looked at Maomao and said, "I remember you set up several secret bases around our villa area?"
Maomao nodded immediately and said, "That's right! There are quite a few gadgets I made myself in those secret bases! Grandpa Fei, do you want to use them?"
Fei Changyuan waved his hand and said, "What use do I have for your toys? I want you to pay more attention to the situation around you starting today. When your brother Chen Yan was trading with Li Quezi from the Blackthorn Camp, he killed a group of people. Although those people were just free awakeners in the Blackthorn Camp, they were able to be organized together, which must have been instructed by the Blackthorn Company.
Regardless of the reason, since those people, under the instructions of the Blackthorn Company, have appeared near us and are targeting the transaction between Li Cripple and your brother Chen Yan, we must be careful and be prepared for the Blackthorn Company to find us. So you must keep a close eye on them, and make sure that others come to us and we are not prepared at all."
"Understood! Don't worry, Grandpa Fei! I guarantee to complete the mission!"
Maomao agreed seriously, like a little adult.
Fei Changyuan rubbed Maomao's hair with a smile, then said to Bai Han, "These arrangements won't be completed in a day or two, especially the exploration of the power station. For safety reasons, even if it takes a month, as long as we can get the battery pack, it's completely acceptable. So, I'll take care of the cooking."
Bai Han said softly, "It's a pleasure to be able to cook unpolluted ingredients. It's not hard no matter how much you cook."
Chen Yan just watched Fei Changyuan arrange everyone, but found that until the end, Fei Changyuan did not call out his and Qin Yourong's names.
A puzzled look suddenly appeared on his face. He pointed at himself and asked, "Grandpa Fei, what about me? What am I responsible for?"
Fei Changyuan was stunned for a moment before speaking, "You're already responsible for providing food for all of us, which has significantly improved our survival and overall strength. Compared to what others need to do, you've made the greatest contribution by simply continuously providing the necessary food."
I don't think you need to do anything else. If you're bored, why not work on your body with Rongrong? You should have seen the compression weight suit I modified for her, right? I have a spare one. And with the materials I have, I can increase the weight suit's capacity to half a ton.
Chen Yan was speechless. "Grandpa Fei, it sounds like they're going to treat me like a mascot and worship me? Even Maomao has to go out on guard and act as a scout, and I'm stuck at home lifting weights?"
Fei Changyuan sighed and said helplessly, "To be honest, I made this arrangement after careful consideration. Although everyone in our team was awakened before, there was only one level three person, Qinghe. The remaining eight people were three level two and five level one.
Although the demand for food is still huge, thanks to the stock of canned food and our attempts to obtain the food we need through other means, the food crisis can be delayed for a long time, at least... a year later?
However, now the situation is completely different. Everyone has been upgraded to level three, and the problem of food needs is no longer something that can be solved through our own efforts. This means that our ability to resist risks, whether high or low, is actually entirely up to us.
As long as you're okay and can continue to provide food, the entire team will naturally become stronger and stronger, and we can even continue to find ways to increase our awakening level without any scruples. But if something happens to you, the consequences for us will be unimaginable. Do you understand?"
Chen Yan thought for a moment and said, "Of course I understand, but I can ensure my own safety. No matter what happens, I am sure I can survive. Rongrong can testify to this."
Fei Changyuan instinctively looked at Qin Yourong.
Qin Yourong nodded and said, "That's true. Grandpa Fei, don't worry. Chen Yan...he has some life-saving methods. As long as he's not careless, basically nothing will happen to him."
After receiving Qin Yourong's affirmative answer, Fei Changyuan frowned and said, "Okay, then... Xiao Chen, what do you want to do? Actually, the most important things next are the two things I just arranged. One is to go to the repair shop to find parts, and the other is to go to the power station to find battery packs.
As long as these two things can be done smoothly, we can have a qualified all-terrain transport vehicle that can pull all the luggage we need to carry, such as the things in my basement, making our relocation process much smoother. "
Chen Yan didn't tell Fei Changyuan about the portable warehouse.
Currently, only Qin Yourong knows about the existence of the portable warehouse, but he is not sure about its size.
And in Qin Yourong's understanding, the portable warehouse should be a space conversion device.
Before the catastrophe broke out, scientists had already completed relevant research under laboratory conditions. Although it was still far from practical application, it did not prevent Qin Yourong from accepting the concept of a portable warehouse.
The reason why Fei Changyuan was not told about the existence of the portable warehouse for the time being was not entirely due to the need for confidentiality, but also to give Fei Changyuan some buffer time.
The lifeblood of the small group is now in his hands. If Fei Changyuan reveals the existence of the portable warehouse at this time, he will be very embarrassed.
Because the things that will be carried along during the migration must be items that are vital to the small group, these things must always be controlled by the small group themselves, so that they can feel at ease.
If Fei Changyuan knew about the existence of the portable warehouse, would he put the things directly into it?
"Grandpa Fei, I want to go with you to the power station to take a look. There's strength in numbers."
"Alright, then. I'll give you two more drones so you can conduct risk-free exploration at any time. Safety first."
"Don't worry, we will definitely come back safe and sound, not a single one will be missing!"
