When Zhao Yu discovered the alien species, the other party also discovered him in some way.
"Ho~!"
After a low roar, the alien looked like a human, but got on all fours like a beast and rushed towards this side.
coming!
Zhao Yu tightened the spear in his hand and stared at the trajectory of the alien species without blinking.
"Die to me!"
When the distance between the two sides was still two meters, Zhao Yu moved and used his spear to thrust in from a distance.
"Pfft~!"
The alien seemed not to have expected it at all, or in other words, it didn't know how to dodge at all. It relied on its own inertia to poke at them all at once.
Done!
Zhao Yu was overjoyed. Just when he was about to take out the fire stick from his waist and pursue the victory, a black shadow suddenly flashed past.
He subconsciously raised his arm to block it, and the next second, a huge force came over him.
Zhao Yu stumbled, turned over, and fell to the side.
At this time, he didn't have time to think too much and directly took out the fire stick from his waist to defend himself.
At the same time, he finally saw clearly that the black shadow that attacked him turned out to be an arthropod-like tail sticking out from behind the alien's butt.
After the blow, the tail seemed to have lost its power and slowly retracted, or it might need to be charged up before it could be ejected.
Zhao Yu observed it briefly, and at the moment when his tail was about to retract back to its original position, he rushed forward with a fire stick.
"Ho~~!"
The alien seemed to feel the threat, and he growled and tried to dodge, but Zhao Yu grabbed the spear stuck in his chest, making it impossible for him to escape.
"Death~!"
The moment the alien waved its claws and slapped it, the fire stick in Zhao Yu's hand was inserted straight into its head.
"Stab it~~!"
The clothes on Zhao Yu's shoulders were instantly cut three times, and blood flowed freely.
On the other hand, for the alien species, after a hole was poked in the head, the body was like a zombie, shaking for a few times, and finally fell to the ground, lifeless.
This thing shouldn't be pretending to be dead, right? !
Zhao Yu didn't care to check the injuries on his body, quickly took out the fire stick, and touched the alien's head a few more times, poking three or five holes, then gave up and sat down on the ground.
"Huhu~~!"
Zhao Yu grinned and gasped, with a hint of joy in his brows. This was his first time fighting a alien species head-on.
Before he could think about the battle, the wound on his shoulder was torn open by the wind, causing Zhao Yu to gasp in pain.
“Isn’t this fucking poisonous?!”
Zhao Yu was a little worried. He glanced at the wound and then at his dark hands. He struggled to get up and walked towards the house where the aliens were guarding before.
Entering the house, Zhao Yu saw the familiar manhole cover at a glance, which was the same model as his shelter.
Will the person below open the door? !
Zhao Yu felt a little uneasy, but at this point, he could only give it a try.
He walked to the manhole cover, knocked on it, and started shouting.
"The alien has been killed by me and I was a little injured. Do you have any alcohol here?!"
After shouting several times, a response finally came from inside.
"Stay away!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yu moved away from the manhole cover and retreated several meters away.
"Click~!"
The manhole cover opened, and a head and a hand popped out. In that hand was a brand-new pistol.
After a while, two women, one large and one small, emerged from the manhole cover.
The older one looks like she is in her thirties, and although her clothes are a little white from the washing, she can't hide her aristocratic temperament. The younger one is about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a porcelain baby face, pure eyes, and big, twinkling eyes. Face looked at Zhao Yu curiously.
One of them holds a gun, the other a toolbox.
Looking at their dress and condition, Zhao Yu guessed that they were people like him who had not endured much hardship and had been staying in the shelter since the end of the world.
"You throw away the weapon, and I'll ask my daughter to bandage your wound~!"
The lady raised the gun in her hand and signaled Zhao Yu to do so.
"I understand, thank you very much..."
Zhao Yu casually threw the fire stick three or four meters away, and at the same time turned around a few times to show that he had no other weapons.
Seeing this, the lady asked her daughter to go up and help treat the wound.
"We should be the ones thanking you for helping us kill the monster at the door..."
As the lady said this, she did not put down the gun in her hand, and still looked at Zhao Yu with a wary expression.
In the last days, it’s important to be on guard against others. Zhao Yu didn’t care and said casually: “Are you two the only ones here?!”
The lady's eyes were a little dim, and the little girl who was applying alcohol to Zhao Yu's wounds also paused.
"My husband originally lived here with us, but he hasn't come back for a week..."
One week is not a short period of time. In this end of the world, there is a high probability that he will die outside.
The lady seemed to have accepted this reality and began to ask about Zhao Yu's situation.
"I came from Blackwater Town next door..."
"What's going on over there?"
Zhao Yu showed a bitter look on his face, smiled bitterly, and said: "The Mengjiazhuang encountered mutant beasts. The owner of the Mengjiazhuang took her people and ran to Heishui Town to set up camp. It won't take long for a new one to be formed. Gathering place..."
"They kicked you out?!" the lady asked nervously.
Blackwater Town is not far from the town where they are located. Before the end of the world, it would only take about half an hour to drive there.
"That's right..."
Zhao Yu shook his head and said, "Do you have anything to eat here?"
The lady frowned, but after seeing Zhao Yu's weak appearance and the injuries he had just suffered from fighting with the alien species, she thought about it and then said: "We don't have much food left, otherwise, my husband He won’t go out either…”
"However, if you help us get rid of the monster at the door, I am willing to give you some food..."
Soon, the little girl disinfected the wound on Zhao Yu's shoulder and thoughtfully wrapped it with a bandage several times.
From her proficiency, Zhao Yu guessed that her father was a person who often went out and got injured.
"Thank you~!" Zhao Yu was very tired at the moment. Seeing that the wound was bandaged, he didn't mind it being dirty and sat down directly on the ground.
The lady then looked at her daughter and said, "Go down and get some food, and bring up a pot of water..."
After a while, the little girl climbed up with a few pieces of dried meat, two cooked potatoes and a pot of water.
There was dried meat, which meant that his guess was correct. The male owner of this shelter should go out hunting often.
Zhao Yu took the food and started to devour it.
He ate very cleanly. Not only did he drink up all the water, he even ate them all without peeling off the potato skins.
After the meal, the two chatted for a few more words.
The lady hesitated for a moment and then said, "Where do you plan to go?"
"Go to the county town and have a look!" Zhao Yu replied casually.
There was a hesitant expression on the lady's face. In fact, there was not much food at home. Her husband hadn't been back for a week. Judging from the situation, it was impossible for him to come back.
This means that without the protection of a man, the mother and daughter cannot live long.
With her skills, even with a gun, it would be difficult to hit prey. Besides, guns are used to defend against people. For hunting, there are simply not enough bullets.
"Have you ever thought about staying here?!"
"Huh?!" Zhao Yu was stunned for a moment and looked at her suspiciously.
The lady blushed, glanced at her daughter, and said quickly: "What I mean is that you can stay in this town. There are many empty houses in the town, and we can take care of each other..."
"No!"
Zhao Yu refused directly, "My destination is the county seat..."
This made the lady a little uncomfortable, thinking that she could keep this man here by inviting her personally.
Looking at her ignorant daughter, she felt a pain in her heart and gritted her teeth: "Are you worried that there is danger in the town?"
"If you don't mind, we have a room in the shelter where you can stay for a while..."
After her daughter heard this, she looked at the noble lady with wide eyes, as if she did not expect that she would say that.
"Mom, have you ever thought about the consequences of letting other men live in our house if your father comes back?" She questioned the question on the spot without any politeness.
The lady looked bitter and shook her head: "Your father will never come back..."
"nonsense……"
Seeing that the mother and daughter seemed to be quarreling, Zhao Yudun felt very upset and said quickly: "No, I don't live here. I have something to do in the county, so I can't stay here for a long time..."
The lady's attention was immediately diverted, and she stopped arguing with her daughter. She looked at Zhao Yu, looked him over, and said, "Is there a place over there where I can survive?"
Zhao Yu was silent. He still had two questions about whether he could walk to the county seat. The chemical plant was still on the other side of the county seat.
After thinking for a moment, the lady said, "Can you... take our mother and daughter with you?!"
When the girl on the side heard this, her eyes widened and she looked at the young woman in disbelief, "Are you going to abandon your father and run away with the wild man?!"
"I'm not leaving, I'm going to wait here for dad to come back..."
The lady suddenly felt tired and was about to say something when Zhao Yu spoke.
"There's no point in following me. My life or death during this trip is uncertain. There are mutant beasts in the county, so it's not a good place to go..."
After that, he added: "If you don't want to stay in the shelter, you can go to Blackwater Town..."
"Blackwater Town?!"
The noble lady was stunned for a moment and said blankly: "Didn't you get kicked out by them?!"
Zhao Yu looked embarrassed, shook his head, and said: "My situation is quite special. Being kicked out is also my own problem. Master Meng of Blackwater Town is a woman. He is very strong and has reached the third level. Where are you going? , with her protection, I should be able to survive..."
woman? !
Third level? !
The noble lady was shocked. In these last days, are there still women in power? !
Zhao Yu briefly told her about the situation of the third level. Of course, he himself did not know how strong the third level was. He only said that the strength of the third level far exceeded him.
After hearing that even Zhao Yu couldn't beat the Master Meng, and that the gap was huge, the lady was immediately moved.
"That Master Meng, is she easy to get along with?!"
Zhao Yu shrugged and said: "It should be pretty good for women..."
After hearing this, the lady became even more excited, while her daughter kept arguing that she would not leave and would stay here to wait for her father.
Zhao Yu let out a long sigh, feeling that he was almost resting, so he simply stood up and said, "Thank you for the food, I'm leaving~!"
"ah?"
The two were shocked, not expecting Zhao Yu to leave so soon.
If he wasn't around, the two of them wouldn't dare to stay on the ground.
Before leaving, Zhao Yu reminded: "I suggest you leave during the day. There are wild beasts at night, and your eyesight may not be as good as theirs..."
"It's fine during the day. If you have a gun, it should be no problem if you walk through the woods..."
After saying that, Zhao Yu picked up his fire stick and spear and prepared to leave.
Unexpectedly, after taking two steps, the lady suddenly stopped him.
"Well, thank you. I see that you don't have a weapon. Why don't you take this knife away?!"
Zhao Yu turned his head and saw the lady holding a machete more than 20 centimeters long.
His eyes suddenly lit up, "You still have this kind of weapon?!"
"Well, I have a few more in reserve at home..."
Taking the machete, Zhao Yu lightly ran his fingers across the blade. He couldn't help but feel happy when he felt the sharpness.
With this weapon, the road ahead will be much easier for him.
"Thank you!"
After thanking him one last time, Zhao Yu set out again.
The noble lady hesitated to speak, but finally said nothing. After seeing Zhao Yu walking away, she hurriedly returned to the underground with her daughter.
After eating something, Zhao Yu felt that his strength had returned. Although the wound was still painful, he couldn't care less at the moment.
He must arrive at the destination as soon as possible and lay out the base before his energy is exhausted.
In his mind, the system beeps had sounded long ago, but he was focused on fighting and did not pay attention to them.
Relaxing at this moment, I saw that the balance of science and technology points showed 30 points in the system panel.
"Today's daily tasks are completed. According to the inference, there should be another refresh at this time tomorrow..."
With an extra weapon, Zhao Yu became more courageous, especially since he had killed even the alien species and had some understanding of his own strength.
On the following journey, his speed increased a bit.
During this period, they encountered a pack of wild wolves that came after smelling blood, but they were ultimately not brave enough. Shocked by Zhao Yu's fierce aura, they just followed him for a while, and then dispersed after a few simple tests.
"It seems that they are living a pretty good life..."
Zhao Yu knew very well that if these wild wolves were extremely hungry, they would definitely attack him.
Now they retreat after just testing, which shows that they are also afraid of being hurt, and there seems to be plenty of food.
Without human interference, wild animals seem to have entered a stage of savage growth. In the past, there were no wolves around such a small town, but now, there are not only wolves, but also many other tiger-like creatures.
Fortunately, Zhao Yu only heard the roar and did not see it with his own eyes. With his strength, he might not be able to win against the tiger.
After traveling all night, Zhao Yu finally arrived outside the county town at dawn.
From a distance, you can feel a strong sense of oppression.
"Mutated beast?!"
I have never encountered this kind of oppression before, it is like a natural hierarchical suppression.
Zhao Yu was a little surprised, "Are mutant beasts the future of this planet? Have they evolved?!"
These questions were too empty. Zhao Yu did not think deeply about them and did not dare to enter the county town. Instead, he walked away from the outside.
The closer you get to the mutated beasts, the more radioactive beasts, alien species and other messy creatures there will be, so Zhao Yu had better stay away.
After walking for a while, the sky became brighter, and various birds flying in the sky could be seen from a distance.
During the day, you have to be careful of these guys in the sky.
Zhao Yu walked more carefully than at night. He basically walked where there were trees as cover.
Finally, when the sun rose into the sky, Zhao Yu arrived at his destination.
The chemical plant, known as the smog maker, was silent at the moment, with a few scattered huge chimneys standing alone.
Zhao Yu came not far outside the main door and looked at it carefully. He didn't find any movement inside, so he got closer to check.
The concierge has long been gone and the building is empty. Except for a wooden bed, even the mattress has been picked up by scavengers.
After looking at the dust on the ground and confirming that there were no traces of human activity here, Zhao Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
Not daring to go deep, I chose to place a micro base in a nearby open space.
"Brush~~!"
A square, five-meter-high steel building rose from the ground in an instant.
Zhao Yu glanced casually and quickly came to the main entrance.
The electric door opened automatically and he stepped in.
The inside of the base is similar to a moon base, with a control room in the center and some empty rooms around it.
Zhao Yu went straight to the control room to check the buildings he could redeem at the moment.
[Energy Station (0/3): 100 technology points. 】
What shocked him was that the exchange list was empty, with only one energy station available for exchange.
"What the hell?!"
He was a little anxious and quickly asked about the system situation.
After some understanding, I realized that this E-class micro base has similar but different functions to the moon base.
Under this base system, only after the energy station is completed will the buildings that can be constructed be displayed and other buildings can be constructed.
"100 technology points..."
Zhao Yu took a look at his balance and saw that it was only 30 points, which he got from completing daily tasks yesterday.
Fortunately, after the base is built, there is a countdown line in the column of science and technology points on the control panel, which is the time for the science and technology points to be refreshed.
Like the moon base, it can refresh 1 technology point every hour. Although it is not much, it is better than nothing.
"Looking at it this way, at this time tomorrow, there should be 54 science and technology points. By the end of the day tomorrow night, there will be about 90 science and technology points. The day after tomorrow, I will have enough 100 science and technology points..."
It took two days to save up the technology points needed to redeem the energy station, and Zhao Yu felt a little relieved.
After walking out of the control room, I walked around the other rooms, mostly empty lounges.
Although there was no food, fortunately there was a sheltered place to sleep.
Only he can enter and exit this miniature base. Although there is no defense force at the moment, the base itself has a certain amount of armor.
Before the armor was cleared, he was safe inside.
But if the armor is cleared, then the entire base will naturally be gone.
There is a reserve of water in the base, but the quantity is not large. According to the instructions, after the energy station is built, the base will not be short of water.
The water source was reserved, and he could not finish it for a week just for his own use. Zhao Yu looked at his dirty appearance and took a shower boldly.
"There is electricity in the base. If I had known about it, I would have brought the chainsaw to the shelter..."
Zhao Yudun regrets that he has a cordless chainsaw in his shelter, but because it consumes too much power and cannot find diesel fuel, he has not used it much since he bought it.
But he didn't think much about it. Even if he returned to the shelter and Meng Xian was there, the rechargeable chainsaw would have nothing to do with him.
After a day's journey, Zhao Yu was exhausted physically and mentally, and he was still injured. He fell asleep shortly after taking a shower.
