If he could get a few elixir then Zhao Yu could ensure his own safety while travelling outside. At least not having to fear being snatched by eagles during the day.

Someone chuckled, “You think just anyone can drink this kind of elixir?”

“What do you mean?”

“The new elixir, though potent, has a very poor compatibility rate.”

Meng Xian casually added, “1 got both elixirs by participating in a drug trial.”

“From my batch of about ten thousand participants, only about ten made it out alive.”

“Such a high mortality rate?!”

“After the trial, the Reed Group just let you go?” Zhao Yu was curious about the intention of the Reed Group.

“We are paying them and you think you can drink or buy whichever tier of elixir you want?”

“To consume the tier-three elixir, at the very least, your physical attributes must meet a standard. Only when you match the Reed Group’s criteria will they sell the tier-three elixir, and you must consume it at their base.” Meng Xian said proudly.

“You mean after drinking this elixir, physical attributes can continue to enhance?” Zhao Yu inferred the implication in her words.

“Of course, continuous training is necessary to hasten the process. According to the Reed Group’s explanation, it’s a method of tapping into our potential.”

She didn’t understand the academic aspects, even the theories the Reed Group had explained were beyond her comprehension.

As long as her strength could be enhanced, that’s all that mattered.

“So, those who participated in the tier-three elixir experiment with you. Did they all met the Reed Group’s criteria?”

“Exactly.”

“We all started from the tier-one elixir and progressed to tier three.” Meng Xian nodded.

“Once I’m strong enough, 1’11 make another trip to the Reed Group to see if I can pass the tier-four.”

Zhao Yu was curious about the Reed Group, “Isn’t the Reed Group’s headquarters on another continent?”

“They have multiple bases.”

Meng Xian replied indifferently, “Why are you asking so many questions? It seems you can’t even handle the tier-one elixir.”

Zhao Yu felt slighted, “I can pull a pig that’s around 100-150 kg.”

“HAHAHA—!”

The group erupted in laughter.

This made Zhao Yu’s face turn red with embarrassment, feeling a bit humiliated.

“Little Six, introduce yourself to him!”

One of the skinny men stepped forward and walked in front of Zhao Yu. “I’ve drunk a Tier 1 potion before, but my body hasn’t reached the standard. 1 didn’t pass the Tier 2 test, so I’m still considered to be at the Tier 1 standard…”

“As for strength, I can throw a wild boar like the one you mentioned five meters away by myself with one hand…”

H H

Zhao Yu fell silent. Was this potion really that strong?!

Little Six did not seem to be bragging.

In that case, the world had indeed developed faster after the apocalypse.

Zhao Yu couldn’t help but think of a rumor from before the apocalypse.

It was said that the Reed Group had already conducted human experiments. From the looks of it, the possibility was not low.

After the apocalypse, due to the radiation, the radio could not be used anymore. All of Zhao Yu’s information came from the gathering point nearby, so it was normal for him to be outdated.

After all, that gathering point wasn’t very notable. It was mainly inhabited by local residents, and the items they traded were mostly foodstuffs.

“It seems you don’t even know a lot of common knowledge…”

Meng Xian commented, then turned to the others, “This town of theirs seems quite safe…”

“Yeah, it must be a secluded small town.”

Zhao Yu felt embarrassed. The distance between them was just over ten kilometers, yet they didn’t even know of his town’s existence.

After all, in his entire town, only his household remained and others already moved out long ago. It was reasonable for them to be unaware.

Without proper communication devices unlike before the apocalypse. An over twenty kilometers apart would resulted in lack of information of each others.

With that in mind, it was understandable for them not to know of Zhao Yu’s circumstances.

After all, who would travel such a distance just to trade some meat and grain?

“So, we’re heading there directly? We’re not waiting for nighttime?” As the group ready to move on, Zhao Yu couldn’t help but ask.

“What’s there to fear? Mutated beasts won’t specifically target us.”

“If we encounter irradiated beasts, with our leader here, we’ll drive them off.”

Upon reflection, Zhao Yu realized that this was true. The eagles and other aerial creatures he most feared seemed insignificant in front of Meng Xian.

“You don’t usually venture out during the day, do you?”

Meng Xian had an epiphany, “Moving around at night, staying in during the day and avoiding the sun, no wonder you’re so fair…”

Zhao Yu ignored her teasing, but at the moment, he kept asking himself a question.

Should he reveal his refuge?

If he doesn’t, where would he lead them?
