92 Days of Scavenging
The mountain base is under siege by zombies!
The mountain base resolved the zombie siege crisis in just one day!
These two pieces of news spread rapidly to other bases, and everyone who heard them was shocked.
Even the capital base, which is far from the mountain base, sent a message saying that it would send a team to learn from the mountain base's experience.
The person in charge of the mountain base was so embarrassed by this that his face was frozen with a smile.
This is great news! Everyone knows that the Capital Base has the most and most capable researchers. If we can build a good relationship with this base, maybe if they develop a zombie vaccine, our mountain base can get our hands on it sooner.
In short, they would never refuse other bases coming to exchange ideas; in fact, they welcome them quite a bit.
Therefore, Hang Ying, the person in charge of the Qunshan base, came to find the little robot again.
After all, everyone knows who the biggest contributor to this city-destroying crisis was, and why they survived so quickly and with minimal losses.
Upon hearing that Hang Ying hoped to stay at the Qunshan base for a while longer, the little robot agreed without much hesitation.
"Ms. Hang, don't worry. My shop has just opened and I have no intention of leaving anytime soon."
As for Hang Ying's point about exchanging intelligence with people from other bases, the little robot said it didn't mind. It could talk about the scroll; it had nothing to hide.
This is different from the situation in his first world. Of course, the little robot has not forgotten the scene of being sacrificed by humans.
But what he revealed that time was his own uniqueness, and that he was so different from that world that he was completely out of touch with it. This world was different; everyone had superpowers, and he was at most "powerful".
Most importantly, he demonstrated his fighting prowess.
If someone really wanted to do something to him, they'd better think twice about whether they could beat him.
After hearing what the little robot said, Hang Ying knew what to do, so she stopped bringing up the topic and instead asked if the scroll could be traded.
This wasn't the first time the little robot had heard someone want to trade scrolls with him, and he refused as before.
Hang Ying was mentally prepared for this answer and wasn't too disappointed. She then left in a hurry.
I don't know if everyone made plans today, but not long after Hang Ying left, the little robot welcomed another familiar face.
Feng Le knew the little robot was going to buy goods, so he came over specifically to ask where it was going.
Yes, the little robot is going to restock again, but now with the automated trading system, the shop doesn't need to close, and he doesn't need to put up any special notices.
Feng Le's news naturally came from his brother, Feng Lixuan.
I learned about the latter from the little robot a couple of days ago.
Upon hearing this question, the little robot pointed to a dock on the map: "There are a lot of goods piled up here, I'm going to take a look."
The source of the information was naturally the survivors who came from that direction.
Feng Le also knew this dock. Before the apocalypse, it was a very prosperous and bustling place. When the apocalypse occurred, all kinds of containers and cargo trucks and ships had not had time to leave, so the supplies here were indeed very abundant.
However, it is precisely for this reason that the danger here is exceptionally high.
The place was already crowded because of its lively atmosphere, and it became even more densely packed with zombies. Later, waves of people rushed towards the supplies, only to get trapped inside themselves. Few managed to escape safely, which further increased the "liveliness" of the place.
I had previously heard that a mutated animal had appeared in the river there. It could control water, was extremely fast, and had excellent stealth capabilities, which raised the level of danger to another level.
Even so, people still occasionally get interested in the mountain base, given the abundance of resources there. However, despite the debate, very few actually dare to go.
Feng Le had naturally heard of him as well.
However, Feng Le was confident that Boss Ji could handle the little robot's request. With just one scroll, what couldn't be solved? If one wasn't enough, they could just send a few more!
He looked around, then leaned closer to the little robot and said with a fawning smile, "If the big boss is going to be away for a few days, it's not very reassuring to leave this shop unattended, is it? There are so many supplies here. Even with an intelligent trading system, it's hard to prevent unscrupulous people from using underhanded tactics."
"Look, how about I do some short-term work for you for the next few days?"
The little robot blinked and said, "I can rest assured. I believe the trading system I created can defend against enemies, it..."
Before the little robot could finish speaking, Feng Le couldn't help but shake his head: "Oh dear, how could a machine possibly defend against the myriad methods of humans? But I know the big boss must have other defensive measures. Sigh, to be honest, I'm not mainly here to watch the shop, but as you know, my brother has been incredibly busy lately, and I'm just bored."
Feng Le said he didn't dare to leave the base alone, but there was nothing fun to do there. Many people wanted to curry favor with his brother and came to him specifically to do so. He was getting annoyed and wanted to use the big boss's territory to hide from people.
At least now I have a good excuse when I want to refuse someone.
Feng Le said that the little robot also knew that Feng Lixuan was busy.
Since his momentous appearance during the zombie apocalypse, Feng Lixuan, as an indirect figure, has risen significantly in the base's standing. Previously just a powerful superhuman, he is now clearly making contact with the base's management.
So I was so busy that I let Fengle roam free.
The little robot didn't care whether there were humans watching over its store, but after hearing what Feng Le said, it didn't refuse.
Anyway, no one has to lift a finger to handle the supplies and transactions in the shop; he's basically just providing a stool for people to sit on all day.
Feng Le: "..."
When the little robot agreed, Feng Le was still happy. However, he found that the little robot did not explain anything to him or grant him any permissions. It just moved a chair for him, pointed out a place, and said that he could sit there for the next few days.
That's it.
He doesn't even need to do things like opening and closing the door.
Feng Le was dumbfounded.
So it's basically just giving myself a licensed title of "temporary shop assistant".
Although these were his own words, he never expected that someone would be so meticulous, making arrangements without any unnecessary steps!
Feng Le opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't dare to say anything more, only managing a forced smile of joy.
There was no other way; he had already begged for this opportunity to sit in the shop openly and honestly. If he said anything more, he would lose this chance.
The little robot was completely unaware of the little thoughts in the mind of its temporary employee. The next day, without waiting for anyone to arrive, it left the mountain base early.
This time, the little robot didn't take it slow; it drove its business vehicle straight to the dock.
In fact, the supplies in his warehouse did not need to be replenished. Even though the shops in both bases were becoming more and more popular every day, they were still fully capable of supplying the goods.
He went out to restock because he saw a message about supplies at the dock that mentioned a cargo ship that was very likely carrying a load of minerals.
Fortunately, the ship contains minerals that the little robot needs.
Unfortunately, although he could extract the elements he needed from all sorts of garbage, some rare elements were still scarce. But he needed a large amount of this element right now, otherwise the progress of the zombie antidote would stagnate.
Yes, the zombie antidote.
There's even a zombie in the little robot's recycling bin!
The zombie he put into the recycling bin wasn't dead. The little robot had specially assigned it a place, and that area has gradually transformed into a small laboratory over the past few days.
In any case, the special walls of the recycling bin can accommodate various mechanical equipment, which can be opened when needed without taking up floor space. So even though the laboratory is a bit small, it is fully equipped.
While processing the garbage, the little robot didn't forget to set aside some time to study the zombie virus that it didn't have data on in its database.
Now that we've studied the characteristics and manifestations of the zombie virus, it's perfectly normal for us to also research the antidote, especially for the little robot.
The progress is currently stuck on this rare element.
The dock was quite far from the mountain base. Even though the little robot took the shortest route, it didn't waste time because of the zombies and mutated plants and animals it encountered along the way. By the time it arrived at its destination, it was already completely dark.
The dock, where normal human life has long since ceased, is naturally without lights. However, the little robot does not rely on light. Looking at the various containers stacked before it, it plans to find what it needs first, and then slowly sort through the contents of these containers.
As for the densely packed zombies coming and going around us?
Anyway, they don't eat me or hurt me. They're just a little dirty and smelly. Some garbage smells even worse than them, but the little robot doesn't care at all.
And the zombies...
Well, the zombies were actually a little concerned.
The low-level zombies, who are mindless and act on instinct, are alright. At most, they are attracted by the noise of the little robot, but when they come closer and smell it, they find that it is not edible flesh and blood. They try to grab it with their claws, but they can't get through it and end up hurting their own claws.
They then wandered off in other directions, bored.
But for those few high-level zombies hiding in the horde, their brains, which had only recently grown and were still not big enough, were almost overwhelmed by the situation before them!
That guy, no matter how you look at him, looks exactly human, but why is he so relaxed?! Is he treating their zombie territory like a pedestrian street?! Are he ignoring all those densely packed zombies?!
The advanced zombies felt that their dignity as zombies had been challenged.
However, when they sneaked into the low-level zombie army to ambush the human, only to find him completely unharmed, the high-level zombies could only watch helplessly.
I can't win, and I'm furious.
Finally, a few high-level zombies, in a rare display of intelligence, decided—
Go and complain!
The little robot was completely unaware of the zombies' movements. It didn't even notice anything different about the zombies coming and going around it, since they posed no threat to it.
After searching through all the cargo ships along the river, the little robot finally found what it was looking for.
The cargo ship was probably unloading cargo at the time, and one container was half-overturned in the water.
Fortunately, the contents are all made of minerals, and most of them are not afraid of water. The few packages that would react with water were also in particularly good condition, and luckily, I didn't encounter any.
The little robot collected some of the items and stored them in the recycling bin's laboratory; the rest were sorted and packed away using space scrolls.
There was no other way; there was just too much stuff, and his recycling bins were almost full.
Moreover, there are so many containers at this entire dock, and he has a lot of things to load.
The little robot thought it was time to upgrade the warehouse.
