In the forest.
Lin Yi transmitted a bottle of lake water from the shelter and handed it to the red-haired man.
"Drink this, and pour some on the wound."
"What is this?"
"Special water, it can relieve pain and help the wound heal faster. I can't guarantee to kill all the 'angels', I need to understand the situation first."
Lin Yi waved his hand, and a system message appeared in front of the survivors.
"And also..."

The red-haired man looked at the notice, his eyes wide open.
"This is..."
"This means a peaceful life, but first you must surrender your weapons and undergo an inspection to ensure you are not spies or saboteurs."
"What do you guys think?"
The red-haired man turned and looked at his friends.
The black man gave him a thumbs-up, and the young woman just nodded silently.
"We agree," the red-haired man said excitedly, then placed two guns and a hunting knife on the ground.
The black man had two Second Level swords and a pistol, while the woman had a baseball bat and an assault rifle.
They were very cooperative, after all, they had already seen the armed personnel of the shelter.
"On the other side, a girl named Chen Youyou will come to bring you and inform you about the shelter's situation."
Lin Yi smiled and said, "Then, you need to tell me the location of your former boss's coin hiding place and the location of the Angel Gang base."
As he finished speaking, with a wave of his hand, the red-haired man and his companions were transported to the shelter.
Over there, Chen Youyou would use Mind Reading to discern that they were not spies or enemies.
Meanwhile, Lin Yi wasn't idle either.
He checked this abandoned camp.
Although it had already been ransacked, never underestimate a Level 200 scavenger!
He gathered a dozen people and quickly dismantled the car barricades, sending them back to the shelter.
Then soldiers began to deal with those makeshift houses built from dismantled cars, as well as some trucks and small buses.
These houses could be easily transported as single objects, but they were directly sent into a big pit since they were full of useless junk.
Half an hour later, nothing was left in the camp except for battle signs and some worthless trash.
No corpses, no houses, no camp...
Just after finishing all this, a trembling male voice sounded in Lin Yi's earphones.
"Uh... boss?"
It was the red-haired man, his voice sounding very excited because everything he had seen in the past half hour was enough to make his head spin.
Lin Yi was about to call the man's name but realized he didn't know it.
So, he responded briefly, "Speak."
"I've marked the coin hiding place on the map, as well as the location of the 'angel' camp, I'm going to the hospital for treatment soon... don't go taking risks, okay?"
"Don't worry, I won't get lost!"
Lin Yi grinned, then transported back to the shelter with the soldiers.
After checking the map, he planned a route.
The coin hiding place was one kilometer to the east, in a small farm called Kurdu.
While the 'angel' camp was 7.5 kilometers to the north, in a town called Suvasong.
Lin Yi had previously driven past this town but had never actually been inside, it seems he would be revisiting old places.
This place was controlled by a motorcycle gang.
This gang used to drive hordes of zombies to attack all their enemies.
However, to control the zombies, they had to clear all the mutants from the zombie horde.
Their leader, the "Great Angel," is an advanced archer who can kill a First Level mutant with ease.
These guys have yet to encounter higher level mutants because the food supply here is extremely scarce.
This gang successfully took over the town, but that led to almost all the survivors being killed by zombies.
These days, the "Angels" decided to expand their territory by attacking nearby towns.
But residents of a small town called Kompei beat them soundly.
So, the "Angels" employed a strategy!
They kidnapped residents of Kompei town, took hostages, and then forced the relatives of the hostages to fight for them.
The strategy was simple but effective.
According to the red-haired man, their camp has about a thousand people, including three hundred combatants, and five hundred of their family members.
There are ninety-nine real bikers, and if you count the "Great Angel" himself, that's a hundred.
Lin Yi pondered slightly.
This gang doesn't have powerful weapons, but defeating them could still result in casualties since they have some strong Professionals.
According to the red-haired man, every town in this region seems to hate them.
Could this be an angle to work on?
Lin Yi studied the map again.
Then teleported back to the forest, quickly heading to Kurdu Farm to first obtain Coins.
This time, he didn't ride a motorcycle around, worried about being mistaken for an 'Angel' member and causing a misunderstanding.
Upon reaching the farm.
There were more than thirty zombies, about half of which were burned, some severely.
He almost effortlessly gained 33 Experience Points, then gathered over twenty volunteers.
He had them swiftly search the farm and take away anything valuable.
Of course, not much was left, but they did find a perfectly intact warehouse full of sacks, buckets, and shovels.
The bag of hidden Coins was very well concealed!
Even after a hundred years, unless someone knew exactly where to look, they would never find it.
He opened the bag of Coins, and each Coin was worth a thousand, totaling exactly 500,000 after counting!
"Such a small bag to hold so much loot?"
Lin Yi murmured to himself, looking at the Coins: "But it's still not enough, I need a million..."
Currently, including these new Coins, the Shelter's balance is 888,298 Coins.
This means he still needs about 200,000 more Coins to build the walls and residential areas.
"However, there's someone who can make up this shortfall!" The greedy Lin Yi revealed a wicked smile.
After the soldiers finished ransacking, he sent them all back and walked into the forest himself.
Then teleported back to the Shelter.
He gathered an entire expert team.
Including Hubert, Solomon, Immanuel, Natasha, Chen Youyou, Zoe, and Louis.
"You might have heard, we are quite wealthy now, and soon we'll be even wealthier. We need walls and a town, but obviously, the walls are our top priority; they must be sturdier than the southern walls!"
"I think we should slightly expand the Shelter's area before building the walls. If newcomers arrive, we'll need more space."
This was Immanuel's suggestion.
But Lin Yi shook his head.
"Due to the Beastmen and zombies, in the short term, our population won't spread beyond the walls."
"Then I suggest once there's an opportunity to expand, we increase the distance between the walls and the Shelter boundaries to 600 meters and set traps between the walls and the Shelter."
Regarding Hubert's proposal, Solomon pointed out one thing.
"But the traps will soon be filled with zombie hordes, and then we'll have to clean them up..."
"No, you forgot about the automatic cleaning system." Lin Yi laughed heartily.
The zombie hordes will fall into the traps, and as the horde advances, they'll be crushed! Then the Shelter will absorb their bodies, clearing the traps, allowing more zombies to fall in!
At this point, Zoe hesitantly raised her hand.
"May I... make a suggestion?"
"Of course, my little strategist!"
Lin Yi valued this little strategist greatly; she had repeatedly offered creative and effective ideas.
Upon hearing "my little strategist," Zoe blushed, and she said happily,
"I saw in a movie... they had a helicopter and used its... rotor? Anyway, they used it to kill hundreds of zombies..."
"That's called a 'rotor,' and the part used to kill zombies is the rotor blade. I understand what you mean; I think it's a good idea, what do you all think?"
Lin Yi said, looking at everyone.
In some unique movie settings, when a helicopter swoops at low altitude, its rapidly spinning rotor acts like a massive, sharp cutting tool.
Zombies near the rotor are instantly sliced by its powerful cutting capability, creating a highly dramatic scene in the process of clearing zombies.
The scene appeared in everyone's mind, and they couldn't help but praise it.
At this moment, the old rogue Louis spoke.
"Boss! I can make something similar... I won't use helicopter rotors, but instead, replaceable steel rotor blades about three to four meters long, powered by a combine harvester or tractor engine, but the engine needs to be underground. I'll need to give it power, then dig a maintenance passage and a ventilation shaft..."
He rambled on, gradually immersed in his creative ideas.
Since acquiring the "Mechanician" skill, he has been almost obsessed with machinery.
Later he researched designs obtained from the Beastmen and, with the system's assistance, learned how to create real mechanical monsters.
Now, he is truly a Mechanician!
However, Lin Yi interrupted him; no one wanted to hear this long string of information that almost no one could understand.
"You need to level up to Level 5 quickly, then your abilities will enhance significantly."
"Boss! You're right! I must level up to Level 5 immediately!" The old rogue's eyes sparkled, looking five years younger...
