In fact, Huang Zhao's mental perception had been watching Alice the whole time she left the shelter for the training ground.
He was also worried that Alice would feel uncomfortable and resistant to leaving the shelter.
But seeing Alice pull herself together and step out of the shelter for his sake still moved me deeply.
Seeing that Alice was unlikely to encounter any accidents with Brother Jie by her side, Huang Zhao returned his main consciousness to Chen Run.
Qin Yi was puzzled today, wondering why the city lord was so often lost in thought.
But he didn't think much of it, assuming that Huang Zhao was probably thinking about how to develop affairs in Dawn City.
......
After collecting the supplies from the granary, Huang Zhao and Qin Yi were heading northeast.
The purpose of proceeding along the outline of Dawn City, 10 kilometers away, was to expand the search area.
It can also uncover anomalies that the exploration team has not yet discovered.
Although the hunting and rescue teams from Dawn City didn't arrive in the area so quickly, Huang Zhao liked to plan ahead.
As the heavy truck drove along the highway, Qin Yi suddenly noticed some zombies dressed in military green clothes rushing towards him from outside the road.
"This is..."
Huang Zhao, whose main consciousness had returned to Dawn City to focus on Alice, did not engage in mental perception.
With Qin Yi by his side, he wasn't worried about any danger.
Qin Yi stopped the heavy truck with some surprise and got out, rushing towards one of the zombies.
After smashing its head with a heavy hammer, Qin Yi bent down to look at the epaulets on the zombie's clothes.
He then took a Type 20 assault rifle from the zombie's back, along with 150 bullets and a military dagger from its waist.
"They are soldiers from a garrison post; there might be a military camp nearby."
Qin Yi was pleasantly surprised and spoke to Huang Zhao through their mental connection.
Judging from the guns and ammunition carried by the zombie, this soldier clearly couldn't have just been passing through.
Instead, they are soldiers who are on missions or stationed in nearby military camps.
At this point, Qin Yi had completely focused on his work, and even if Huang Zhao ordered him to die, he would not hesitate much.
Although Qin Yi wanted to visit the barracks, he wouldn't be dissatisfied if Huang Zhao didn't intend to go.
Huang Zhao, who was far away in Dawn City, received Qin Yi's message instantly, which surprised him.
'I didn't expect there to be a garrison so close to Dawn City. I couldn't find any information about it on maps or online.'
It's also convenient that you can receive messages from a mental connection even when the main consciousness isn't physically present!
Essentially, one's puppet acts as a node in a mental connection, capable of rapidly transmitting information to the main body.
Huang Zhao immediately thought of many things. If there were many puppets distributed outside, real-time communication could be achieved.
If his superpower allows multiple people to connect and communicate with each other through a mental link, he would be equivalent to a pre-apocalyptic telephone operator.
Unfortunately, Huang Zhao's mental connection is currently limited to one-to-many, preventing the two people other than him from communicating with each other.
Huang Zhao temporarily suppressed this idea. Although his superpowers were not yet capable of achieving that level, it still gave him some hope for the idea.
Upon receiving Qin Yi's message, Huang Zhao knew that he wanted to go to the garrison to confirm the actual situation of the Dragon Kingdom's government.
The officers and others rescued in the east of Dawn City last time were just a simple microcosm.
Now there is an opportunity to verify this, and even if Qin Yi doesn't bring it up, Huang Zhao himself wants to confirm it.
However, we can't just go like this without thinking. Huang Zhao asked Qin Yi through their mental connection:
What is the configuration of this military camp?
Without much hesitation, Qin Yi recounted all the information he knew:
"These military outposts on the outskirts of towns and villages usually only have one infantry platoon stationed there."
It was established solely to respond to emergencies and is frequently rotated; the soldiers inside are not stationed here permanently.
Huang Zhao was certain that if it was just a platoon-level unit, the number of people would generally not exceed 40, and it would not be equipped with heavy firepower.
As for bullets, it would take about 0.2 seconds from entering Huang Zhao's mental perception zone of about 150 meters to hitting him.
With Huang Zhao's reaction speed at this moment, it was more than enough for him to spot and dodge the bullet before it hit him.
However, if it's a sniper rifle with a faster rate of fire or a weapon with a wide area of effect, there is a possibility of injury.
After breaking through to level three, conventional weapons become very difficult to harm a prepared superhuman.
Police pistols, for example, might not even be able to scratch the skin of a flesh-based superhuman, greatly reducing their threat.
This is also why Huang Zhao did not go to the police station to collect firearms and equipment.
In the post-apocalyptic world, the key is to strive to improve your superpower level.
Even though guns can quickly kill low-level zombies in the early stages of the apocalypse.
However, in a city teeming with zombies, firing a gun is tantamount to blowing up a zombie horde.
Zombies within a one-kilometer radius will hear the gunshot and rush towards the location where the gunshot came from. No matter how many bullets you have, you can't stop the continuous onslaught of zombies.
Of course, if it is a well-organized army with powerful killing weapons and sufficient ammunition, then there is still hope of pushing back the zombies at this time.
But it's still too difficult for the current human survivors.
With communication between armies blocked, former comrades suddenly turned into zombies, and even if they managed to escape, it would be difficult for them to form an organized force in a short period of time.
Seeing a zombie in military uniform at this time is very likely because it came from a nearby military outpost.
After confirming that there was no threat to him, Huang Zhao decided to go, partly to fulfill Qin Yi's expectations and partly out of curiosity.
He wondered if the army's situation was as he had guessed, and whether well-trained soldiers could perform far better than ordinary people after the apocalypse broke out.
Huang Zhao stepped out of the driver's seat, stored the heavy truck in his special ability space, and ran with Qin Yi towards the direction from which the military-uniformed zombie had been wandering further north.
Along the way, the number of zombies dressed in military green gradually increased, and the two casually killed them.
Huang Zhao put the zombies, along with the firearms, ammunition, and military daggers, into his special ability space.
After traveling about a kilometer, the two had already killed more than forty wandering military-style zombies.
Huang Zhao was puzzled. If it was just a platoon-level unit, how could there be so many soldiers?
When asked, Qin Yi stated that his understanding of the situation was merely the military's internal standard.
This troop post might be unconventional, which is why there are more troops there than usual.
Huang Zhao became wary, worried that something unexpected might happen.
The two continued walking for about 2 kilometers, and the number of zombies gradually increased. They had already killed nearly two hundred zombies.
Finally, we saw a group of low-rise buildings surrounded by iron fences and with some basic camouflage, obviously to avoid being detected by satellite.
