While Bai Ze was researching, Jiang Yue wasn't idle either. She was also very curious about this. If it was because of the special rules of the world, then there might not be much to gain. But if it was because of the virus itself, then understanding it would lead to new knowledge and research results. Jiang Yue's research was a bit slow on her own. It would be great if she could obtain the research results of others, which would save a lot of time.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yue sent out a few puppets. This world was first researched by the United States, so Jiang Yue sent them over to look for any research data they could find.
After finishing her work, Jiang Yue checked the time and it was already 1 a.m., time to sleep. After returning to the ground, she took out a can of fruit. The taste was just so-so, not very good. However, the ecological park inside the Wizard Tower was already running, and she would have fresh fruit to eat soon.
After waking up, Jiang Yue checked the time; it was almost 1 p.m. She touched her stomach, which was already rumbling. The puppet, seeing that Jiang Yue had woken up, had already started cooking. The ingredients they were using were all from the storage in the space. Although the space had expanded considerably, the storage of these ordinary ingredients was not much. Most of the food consisted of valuable items such as medicines and materials. The food was only enough for one person to eat for a year in emergencies.
After finishing their meal, Jiang Yue looked at the experimental subjects inside the wizard tower. While Jiang Yue was sleeping, Bai Ze had already captured several higher-level zombies, all of which had crystal cores in their brains. The original Jiang Yue had not awakened any of them. Novels all say that using zombie crystal cores can awaken superpowers, but she didn't know if it would work in this world. Jiang Yue was quite curious about superpowers.
While Bai Ze was conducting his experiment, Jiang Yue went to check the car in the yard. It had been broken for a long time, but the robot fixed it today. Once they find survivors, they can go out and exchange some items. Speaking of which, Bai Ze has explored almost the entire 100-kilometer radius around the area, but he hasn't encountered any survivors or even any signs of life.
No wonder the original owner was able to live a good life and even died of illness without being robbed. Jiang Yue was thinking of finding some damned people to make some contributions to science after finding the survivors. After a few days, Bai Ze had captured all the high-level zombies in the area. Once this batch of experimental materials was used up, Jiang Yue would have to think about moving.
That evening, Jiang Yue remembered the radio that the original owner had left in the corner. Because the original owner only had a superficial understanding of these things, she hadn't kept it safe during the nuclear war, and it was then attacked by EMP. After the robot repaired it, Jiang Yue turned it on and tried it, but she couldn't receive a single channel.
This is normal, though. In February 1986, the United States conducted an experiment to see how many radio stations could be received under EMP conditions. In the end, only 125 out of 2,771 radio stations could barely receive the signal. Moreover, in this era of widespread internet access, there are far fewer radio stations and radio enthusiasts.
Furthermore, those who survived the nuclear attack mostly sought refuge in well-protected shelters. These shelters could protect against external nuclear radiation and also blocked radio signals, making it virtually impossible for survivors to receive information via radio.
The effects of EMP lasted much longer than most people imagined. The exchange of nuclear weapons wasn't a one-off event; in my memory, it lasted for quite a while. Most people were already doing well if they bought a radio to prepare for it.
However, there is definitely a lack of knowledge about how to preserve radios, and after the meteorite impact, humanity seemed to have been rendered less intelligent, and the government did not provide correct and timely warnings. It is not surprising that Jiang Yue is not receiving messages now.
While eating, Jiang Yue glanced at the nearby surveillance cameras. Not a single mouse could be seen on the screen; Bai Ze had caught them all. It looked perfectly safe. After dinner, Jiang Yue opened the surveillance footage, cut a plate of fruit, and watched TV for a while. If you only look at the house and not the outside world, how does it resemble the apocalypse? If this were a novel, she would become the target of robbery in the second chapter.
After some time, about three months, the world entered winter, and the outside temperature was around -40 degrees Celsius. The experimental subjects they had captured had been used up. Fortunately, the probes that had been exploring recently found some survivor bases, and Jiang Yue planned to choose a place to move there.
The survivor bases that were found were not large, and most of them were set up by government personnel. Although the number of people was small, there were superhumans in each of them. In this situation, the bases would not survive if they did not have superhumans. Jiang Yue marked these bases on the map and then chose a central location so that it would be the same distance to go to any of the bases, which would save trouble.
After choosing a location, Jiang Yue moved everything from the house to the Wizard Tower, removed the surrounding surveillance cameras, and left the outer buildings untouched. In case someone came later, they could reuse the waste as a shelter. As for relocation, that would be too troublesome, so it would be easier to have the robots build a new one.
After finishing, Jiang Yue put away the wizard tower and changed the style of her robe into a protective suit. After Jiang Yue got into the car, Bai Ze drove off, using the scanner. The two didn't encounter many zombies before reaching their destination. Once there, Jiang Yue released the wizard tower, and the robot built another house according to the previous design.
After moving the items into the house, everything was exactly the same as before, except for the location. After resting for a night, Jiang Yue ordered some flyers with a list of redeemable goods, such as water purification tablets, anti-radiation drugs, protective clothing, food, and drinking water. The currency used was crystal cores, the mainstream currency in the zombie world.
After preparing the flyers, Jiang Yue examined them. The front showed items that could be exchanged and purchased, while the back featured a map of the area. Finding nothing amiss, she had the puppet drive to several nearby bases to deliver the flyers. After the puppet left, to avoid suspicion, Jiang Yue built several underground factories nearby and then constructed a new production line.
Jiang Yue was busy trading crystal cores, while Bai Ze was studying the data he had 'picked up' from the United States. This batch of supplies included data on the early stages of the virus's mutation, as well as some of the original viruses. With these materials, Bai Ze's research progress could be greatly accelerated.
After leaving the Wizard Tower, Jiang Yue looked around the new territory and suddenly remembered that something was missing. She quickly added a batch of weapons to the surrounding walls and then sent out a group of guard puppets. These puppets were very powerful, and even advanced ability users and zombie kings might not be able to defeat them.
She sent out another batch of puppets to clear out some of the zombies in the vicinity. If someone came to make a transaction later, Jiang Yue would also have to protect their personal safety. Then she collected some soil from the vicinity to study whether she could grow something on it. Otherwise, the land looked quite fertile, and it would be a waste not to plant anything on it.
