After leaving Silicon Valley, the convoy arrived in Santa Barbara after more than a month of arduous trekking, passing through Monterey, Big Sur and other cities in central California.

Along the way, the convoy avoids cities and mass zombie hordes, and still inevitably encounters various crises and battles. Fortunately, they have Ye Hao's BUG, and the food and supplies are sufficient, so they finally broke through without danger. Small-scale intensive battles, although dangerous, have also allowed the whole team to slowly merge, and small groups still exist, but they are no longer distinct. During the long battle life, everyone slowly integrated into the group, and their sense of identity with the team also grew. Watching the team he formed gradually matured, Ye Hao's sense of accomplishment arose.

However, intensive combat and training left the convoy with insufficient stocks of weapons and ammunition. Therefore, after Ye Hao separated from Yelena, he went back to Jinshan City and asked for a batch of weapons and ammunition from the arms merchant David. As for the payment, millions of US dollars are no longer in the eyes of Ye Hao now! Anyway, these weapons and ammunition are basically assault rifles and other light weapons and ammunition, if it were not for the replenishment of hundreds of rounds of artillery shells for tanks and self-propelled guns, Ye Hao would not have bothered to give the money for this transaction.

Back in the last days, Ye Hao found a corner at night where no one paid attention to take out weapons, ammunition and some food supplies in the system space, and the next morning he notified Natasha to find someone to move out.

It was not the first time that Natasha and the others had encountered the sudden appearance of this kind of material, and they had long been surprised, but they were more and more curious about the elusive organization behind Ye Hao.

After the supplies were disposed of, the convoy continued on its way.

Five days later, the convoy bypassed the city of Santa Barbara and arrived in Los Angeles in Southern California.

The Los Angeles City metropolitan area is the second largest metropolitan area in the United States after the New York metropolitan area, and is also one of the famous metropolitan areas of Blue Star. Greater Los Angeles is not only the world's largest entertainment industry center, but also a global center for business, international trade, education, fashion, media, tourism, sports, science and technology, and transportation.

The population of the greater Los Angeles area exceeded 20 million in the 20s of the 21st century, and the Los Angeles metro area reached 20 million in the 50s of the 21st century. By the time of the cataclysm, there were nearly 30 million people in the entire Greater Los Angeles area, and with such a terrifying population base, according to the evolution probability of zombies, there would be more than 30 T4s, and even T5 would have a high probability. As for the higher-level T6, Ye Hao didn't dare to think about it. Ye Hao is now a third-level gene body, with the advantage of skills and T4 can be tough head-on, T5 is no problem if he wants to escape, and if he encounters T6, he will die.

"Ding Dong!" After the convoy entered the border of Los Angeles, Ye Hao's voice sounded in his head.

Ye Hao frowned, after leaving Silicon Valley, he thought that the system would soon give him a new task. Surprisingly, for more than a month from Silicon Valley all the way south, the system did not issue any instructions. This feeling of emptiness made Ye Hao secretly scold himself for being cheap. In fact, he knew in his heart that no matter in the last days or the real world, the only way to improve his strength was to rely on the system, so Ye Hao loved and hated this system that often pretended to be dead.

"The host already has the ability to survive in the last days and initially establish its own power. The first phase of the mission in Northern California was completed and the host liquid metal robot S2000 was rewarded. S2000 is a 23rd-level product of the parallel universe, and its combat power is ten times that of a normal human, which is equivalent to a fourth-level gene body!"

"Ha, it's amazing!" Ye Hao was overjoyed, he had encountered T4 twice before, once by relying on an electromagnetic rifle to snipe, and the other by relying on strong skills. Now with the S2000, Ye Hao can easily slash the T4 under the horse.

"System, where is that S2000?"

"The liquid metal robot is on standby, and the host is ready to summon it. ”

"Can this liquid metal robot travel between two worlds?"

"The liquid metal robot absolutely obeys the orders of the array, but it is not a living organism per se. ”

"Understood?" Ye Hao was very satisfied, non-living beings could use the system or space-time gate to shuttle between the two worlds.

"The host, after the accumulation in the early stage, already has its own team. The enemies encountered will also be stronger, so that the host team is too strong, and the host must focus on team building. This system will add new gene potions and the recipe of gene potions after the host is upgraded. ”

This pack is good!

Think about it, the zombies in the past were too weak, Ye Hao could fight alone, but he couldn't always be single-handed, and it was impossible for him to do everything alone. Taking Los Angeles as an example, throwing away low-level zombies such as T1T2, T3 alone exceeds 3000, and Ye Hao can't beat 30 T3s even if he is exhausted.

That night, after the convoy camped, Ye Hao and Natasha were tired for a while, and were destroyed by Jessica again when they were in the dry firewood. Ye Hao could only reluctantly let Natasha and Jessica leave, and drew a circle in the corner to curse Jessica for not being able to marry.

Ye Hao estimated that the system would soon issue a new task, and before that, he still had some things to deal with in the real world.

Back in the real hotel room, Ye Hao first summoned the liquid metal robot S2000.

The S2000 in front of you is very similar to the robot in the movie Terminator, and it looks like a human. But as the owner of the liquid metal robot, Ye Hao knows that the skeleton of S2000 is a high-strength alloy with a melting point of more than 4000 degrees Celsius, and the skin and muscles wrapped around the mechanical skeleton are biometals that were invented in the middle of the 22nd century and matured at the end of the 22nd century.

Biometals can be seen as an advanced form of liquid metals. On the basis of the amorphous and flowable properties of liquid metal, the characteristics of high simulation and repairability have been developed.

Therefore, the correct name for the S2000 should be a biometal robot. It is based on biological metal and high-strength alloy as bone, and can not only change appearance and body shape, but also change into other creatures or objects within a certain range. As long as it is within the error range of the mechanical skeleton, the S2000 can achieve a thousand different variations, and as Ye Hao knows, there are thousands of different variations in its database.

Under Ye Hao's order, the S2000 turned into a chair after becoming a gorilla without the slightest flaw.

After ordering S2000 to change back into the body of the robot, Ye Hao was very satisfied, he circled around S2000 and said, "Hey, what do you call it?"

"Master, I am the newest robot produced in 2268 AD, and as the owner you have all my rights, including the naming rights. ”

"Very personal...... Then, from today onwards, your name is Li Tie, and your identity is my bodyguard. But you're so handsome that you're a threat to me. ”

"My appearance is modeled after famous movie stars of the 23rd century, and the owner can change my image according to his own preferences and imagination in his brain. ”

"Not bad...... Ye Hao closed his eyes, thought for a while, and when he opened his eyes again, the S2000 in front of him became a strong man with a height of two meters and knotted muscles.

Ye Hao nodded with satisfaction, S2000...... Now it should be called Li Tie's image is not easy to mess with at first glance, just this size and appearance can scare children into crying. The most important thing is that the original handsome appearance is gone, Ye Hao said that a bodyguard is so handsome, as the owner is under a lot of pressure, so they can't play happily together.

Ye Hao set Li Tie's current appearance as his basic type 1, and set his changed appearance of Robert, who was in contact with Huaxia, to basic type 2.

Ye Hao's preparation for returning to China for development can only appear with his own appearance, but Robert, as a key figure in contact with the Chinese government, cannot disappear for a long time. Now with Li Tie, as a clone, he can maintain contact with the Huaxia government, and there will be no problem for him to use his original identity to return to China for development, and the two can appear at the same time when necessary to avoid some trouble.

Ye Hao has a good understanding of the national conditions of China, and after his career develops, he will inevitably be coveted. Ye Hao needed a backer, he chose the Huaxia government, as long as he showed his worth, Ye Hao believed that the Huaxia government would help him resist all kinds of resistance and malpractices from home and abroad. But he can't completely rely on the Huaxia government, and before he can fully grow up, Ye Hao needs external support.

Robert's identity is a good use object, as long as Robert continues to provide all kinds of intelligence and technology that Huaxia needs, Huaxia will become Ye Hao's protective umbrella.

With the backing of the Huaxia government, one of the five hooligans, Ye Hao believes that even in the face of the strongest United States of America, the strongest Blue Star, he will not be stunned!

After solving the identity problem of returning to Huaxia for development, Ye Hao relaxed, and he asked Andy to arrange an identity for Li Tie.

After explaining the necessity that Li Tie must have a normal identity as his bodyguard, as the king of the network, Andy found a suitable identity in less than a minute, a mercenary of Russian origin, born in 1989, served in a special forces in the United States after graduating from college at the age of 22, joined the Blackwater Security Company after retiring due to injuries in 2015, disappeared in an operation two years ago, and his whereabouts are unknown afterwards. As a mercenary with no relatives, no one cares about his life or death, this person is like a drop of water that evaporates under the sun, disappearing into the world.

Looking at the photo of this Russian mercenary named Yakov, Ye Hao made some adjustments to Li Tie's appearance, reducing Yakov's Caucasian characteristics and favoring Asian characteristics. He looks seventy or eighty percent similar to Yakov, and even meeting Yakov's acquaintances can explain that it is the result of plastic surgery after a head injury.

After taking care of Li Tie's affairs, Ye Hao slept beautifully.
