“Mission accomplished!”
Zhao Yu clicked on the system panel and saw that his tech points had risen to 85.
There was no reason to linger. Zhao Yu led his team back to the solar panel area on the west side.
Upon Zhao Yu’s return, the group of ten from the shelter visibly relaxed.
“Commander Zhao, when are we leaving?” Liu Yuan asked in nervous.
BoxNovel.com“When my people return, we’ll leave right away!”
“Send the signal for them to return!” Zhao Yu instructed the four team leaders.
“Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!”
Three consecutive gunshots echoed. The members of the other three teams began returning.
“It’s done, all the mutants in this area have been cleared out…”
Zhao Yu briefly discussed with the people from the shelter. They finally decided that ten people from Zhao’s side would help with moving items, and the remaining ten would be in charge of security.
The distance from the solar panel area to the western gate wasn’t far. However, by the time they reached the gate, the people from the shelter were so exhausted that they clamored for a rest.
Zhao Yu had no choice but to halt and simultaneously ordered his man to to chase away the beasts feasting on the mutant corpses outside the gate.
After about ten minutes, the group set out again.
With constant starts and stops, a journey that should’ve taken six hours ended up taking twelve hours.
It wasn’t until midday the next day that they finally arrived at the shelter.
Zhao Yu and his soldiers were fine, with two meals along the way and they are still in good spirits.
In contrast, the ten people from the shelter appeared utterly drained. Especially during the latter half of the journey, hardly anyone had the energy to speak.
“Ouch!”
“We’re finally here!”
They laid out 20 solar panels in the open space outside the shelter, and the ten people were completely collapsing to the ground.
“We’re back!”
Someone standing at the entrance of the shelter saw them return and hurriedly went in to report.
In no time, Gao Shun as the representor of the shelter appeared.
“Thank you for your hard work!”
After exchanging brief pleasantries, Gao Shun immediately sought out the electrical expert to inquire if there were any issues.
With positive response, he then turned to Zhao Yu to express his gratitude.
“It’s part of the deal.” Zhao Yu responded nonchalantly.
“Indeed, indeed. The food has been prepared. I’ll have it brought up right away.”
Gao Shun mobilized nearly a hundred people to transport the two tons of grain.
The bags of rice were neatly placed on the ground, a smile appeared on Zhao Yu’s face.
“Centurion Zhao, I wonder if you’ll be bringing a vehicle to transport these goods, or will you be sending more people?” Gao Shun asked tentatively.
“Heh!”
Zhao Yu responded with a faint smile, “This amount? They can carry it directly, no need to bring a vehicle.”
With that, he turned and gave the order, “Everyone, carry the goods!”
Swoosh!
20 soldiers stepped forward. With one 100kg bag of rice on the left shoulder and another on the right, each was able to carry a total of 200kg of grain.
“It’s been a pleasure working with you. If there’s any task in the future, send someone westwards; we have a temporary base at the chemical plant.”
Zhao Yu shook hands with Gao Shun and quickly follow his team and depart.
The crowd was filled with admiration.
“These soldiers are so efficient when it comes to work…”
“They just carried 200kg worth of stuff and walked off…”
For the same amount of supplies, Gao Shun needed nearly a hundred people from his side, while Zhao Yu’s twenty men were able to handle it all on their own.
Back to the base, Zhao Yu had the soldiers transport all the grain to the main base. It was the safest location by far.
For this mission, even though he didn’t carry any goods himself, he had supervised the entire operation. Having gone without sleep for a full 18 hours, he was utterly exhausted.
Zhao Yu couldn’t hold out any longer. He ordered the soldiers to take turns patrolling.
Furthermore, to ensure the soldiers could adapt in his absence, he specifically issued several directives.
For instance, if they encountered mutants, they were to eliminate them immediately. If confronted by a large group of mutants, some soldiers were to lure them away.
If they encountered humans, they should advise them to leave. Any who ignored the warning and intruded, or attacked, were to be immediately neutralized, among other orders.
Zhao Yu didn’t even bother to bathe. He simply lay down and immediately fell asleep.
When Zhao Yu woke up again, it was dark outside, and the daily tasks had already been refreshed.
After checking the natural growth of his tech points, Zhao Yu realized he had slept for eight hours.
[Technology Points: 103]
“I can exchange for another building!”
Zhao Yu quickly got up and looked up at the surveillance as nothing unusual, he proceeded outside the base.
At the door, two mobilized soldiers were on guard. Zhao Yu casually asked, “Any incidents?”
“Report, a few individuals appeared from the west. We chased them off…”
“Living people?!”
“They weren’t from the shelter, were they?”
“They aren’t anyone we’ve seen before!”
Zhao Yu continued to inquire, “What did they say?”
“They pleaded us to save them.”
“About the danger of their Liu Jia Village.”’
It must be people from another place!
The shelter was to the east of the base, but these people came from the west.
Zhao Yu had mainly hunted in the county town or the south region. He hadn’t thoroughly explored to the north and west of the base..
