Chapter 7: Daily Missions
"Wow~~!" "Roar~~!"
Bursts of beast roars echoed in the night sky, and Zhao Yu stopped in front of a big tree, his steps hesitant slightly.
"Where are you going?"
After being kicked out of the town, Zhao Yu was worried that Meng Xian would change his mind and ran away directly.
But not long after entering the woods, he began to stop again, and his eyes were full of confusion.
Especially if you don't have a gun in your hands, you don't even have a dagger that you can use desperately.
After all, he has no night vision, even if he has been active at night for more than a year, but he is still no match for those beasts.
After hesitating for a moment, Zhao Yu glanced back, the distance from the town here is moderate, not too far, not too close, if you continue to walk, it may be dangerous.
"Let's go up the tree!"
Zhao Yu sighed and began to climb the tree, his arms were tied for a day, and his strength was limited when the blood flow was not smooth, and he almost fell off several times.
It took a lot of effort to finally climb to the top of the tree trunk, but he didn't dare to climb too high, for fear that he would be taken away by the birds in the air.
Sitting on the trunk of the tree, Zhao Yu moved his body, broke off a few branches nearby, and tied his body to the big tree.
He was a little glad that the trees in this world were tall and thick, enough to lie down and sleep.
There are a lot of bumps on the trunk, and Zhao Yu's head has nowhere to put it.
It took me a few shifts to find a better position, but I needed to sleep with my head tilted.
After tossing for a while, Zhao Yu finally lay down, and he didn't dare to move, facing up, just enough to see the sparse starry sky through the leaves.
"Why me?!"
Zhao Yu only felt a sense of grievance, he was a little puzzled, why did it not come to this world, but him? !
Logically speaking, he and the body should be one, but at this moment, he couldn't stop feeling uncomfortable in his mind.
After thinking about it for a while, Zhao Yu's brain gradually became clearer.
"I ......"
"I am first and second to me, and then to be the doppelganger......"
Zhao Yu didn't know if his thoughts were a bit deviant, but he didn't want to die, he was sure that if his body died, 'I' would be gone.
"How would I feel if my body died?!"
"If the first doppelganger is dead, am I the first doppelganger?"
"Both of them are dead, could I be the main body?!"
"After the last wish is completed, the consciousness resonates, am I still me?!"
In a self-questioning and self-answering, Zhao Yu fell asleep groggyly.
At night, accompanied by the roars of many nocturnal creatures fighting and fighting, Zhao Yu woke up and fell asleep, tossing and turning, and finally survived until the next day.
When the day came, the woods were quiet.
Zhao Yu sat up, leaned on the trunk, and subconsciously looked towards the way he came, and actually saw the roof of the town.
"I didn't go far......
His blood swelled a little, and he slowly stood up, and sure enough, he saw more town buildings.
After leaving, I realized the meaning of the human gathering place, even if I looked at it from a distance, I didn't feel so lonely.
At this moment, he was full of emotion in his heart, and he wanted to leave here, but his eyes couldn't be taken off, and he kept staring over there.
……
"I shouldn't have let him go!"
In the underground shelter, Meng Xian looked at the scars on Xu Menglan's body, and became more and more angry.
She thought that Xu Menglan's abuse was limited, but she didn't know that the area was so large.
In addition to all kinds of whip marks and scars, what made her most angry was the two words on Xu Menglan's buttocks.
"That scumbag, see you next time, I'll kill him!"
Xu Menglan opened her mouth, thinking that Zhao Yu should not come back, so she didn't persuade anything.
After washing and dressing, Meng Xian returned to the ground, and the four men who were sleeping on the ground had already gotten up and were standing on the side of the patio.
After a brief greeting, Meng Xian gathered everyone together, and after making a speech on the reconstruction of Mengjiazhuang, she began to arrange the work.
"Ah Zhen, Nana, you two check this house and the two houses next door to eliminate all possible threats......"
"Menglan, you three sisters, after the two of them finish the investigation, clean the three houses in turn......
After all, underground shelters are limited in area and can't accommodate too many people.
Meng Xian's idea is to continue to let the three sisters live underneath, and these enhancers all live in houses on the ground, anyway, there are ready-made ones, and they don't need to be rebuilt, they just need to clean them up and move in.
"Pigeon, you are a perception department, go find a commanding height nearby, be responsible for guarding, be careful not to be taken away by the eagle......"
When a man heard this, he was ordered to leave.
In addition to enhancing the physical fitness of the user, the genetic potion manufactured by the Reed Group also has other abilities that can enhance the ability of various organs.
Eyesight, hearing, smell, sensation, etc., all have corresponding genetic potions.
Compared to the combat system, this type of personal strength enhancement is extremely limited, and the success rate is similar, but the mortality rate is lower than that of the combat system, but there are also side effects of varying effects after failure.
For example, if you fail to use a genetic potion to enhance your eyesight, you may become blind, but there are also genetic mutations that can see something that cannot be seen by the human eye, and in the same way, this mutation is irreversible and must be formed, and you will lose your original human vision and turn into the eyes of animals or other creatures.
However, no matter how this type of gene potion enhancer will mutate in the end, in terms of combat ability, it will always be inferior to any first-order enhancer, so the organ enhancers are uniformly divided into the perception system.
Normally, people who have the ability to contact the Reed Group and are ready to bear the consequences of defeat are the first choice of the genetic potions of the combat system, and only if all types are not up to standard, and they are not willing to be mediocre, they will choose to develop into the perception system and become a vassal of the strong.
"Xiaoliu, you take someone to cut some wood nearby, and build a fence around the perimeter of these three houses, it doesn't need to be high or strong, as long as it can be used as a buffer to prevent wild beasts from touching the edge of the house......"
One order after another was given by Meng Xian, and I have to say that as the owner of Mengjiazhuang, she still has some ability.
In just one morning, a suggested gathering place was built.
With the shelter as the center, a wooden fence was used to connect the three nearby houses into one and form a large courtyard.
Not only that, Meng Xian also had people use branches to weave a net and carry it on the top of this courtyard to prevent the eagle from biting people.
"Menglan, you three sisters will be able to move in this courtyard in the future......"
……
At noon, Zhao Yu sat on a stone, holding a tree trunk two or three centimeters thick and one meter and five meters long, the branches and leaves were all pulled out, and the end of the trunk was also ground out with a stone.
"Became ......"
Looking at the simple spear in his hand, which was quite straight, Zhao Yu showed a knowing smile on his face.
Next, he's going to have to rely on this thing to defend himself, and at the very least, he'll have to make it to the next town and find some weapons that he can use.
"They don't know what's going on......"
Zhao Yu hesitated for a moment, but still climbed up the big tree, and after reaching the right height, he looked in the direction of the town.
"Fence ...... Tree branch netting...... Yard ......"
In the courtyard, Su Lan and Xiulan were chasing me with a piece of pancake stained with sesame seeds, looking very cheerful.
The manpower engine that was originally staying in the shelter was now placed in the courtyard with a backpack, and Xiao Liuhe ordered a man to ride on it and pedal hard.
Meng Xian crossed her hands and pointed at the others, but everyone's faces seemed to be full of smiles.
In addition to this, Zhao Yu also saw several unfamiliar faces, who seemed to be new people who had joined in.
In the middle of the courtyard, two fresh wild boar carcasses are placed, and two women are skinning.
In just half a day, the originally lonely town was full of popularity.
Zhao Yu didn't know how long it had been since he had seen such a scene, it was like returning to the pre-apocalyptic times, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.
But then he was in a trance, "Didn't I just cross over?!" ”
Unconsciously, the memory of the original owner seemed to affect him, so that he didn't realize for a while that he had crossed over.
"And I seem to have gotten sentimental......"
"Wow~~!"
A gust of wind blew, the fallen leaves were scattered, Zhao Yu stretched out his hand and caught a leaf, green with yellow, peculiar texture, there is a unique beauty of alien plants.
He came to his senses, threw down the leaves, glanced one last in the direction of the courtyard, and sighed in a low voice.
"It's a pity, it doesn't have anything to do with me......"
Back on the ground, Zhao Yu picked up the improvised spear, didn't look back, and took steps in the opposite direction to the town.
Zhao Yu did not lose hope, and in his mind, there was still an E-class miniature base that could be installed.
With experience in the installation of lunar bases, Zhao Yu knew very well that he was looking for a large enough place to house more buildings.
But the first priority is to go to a nearby town and find a weapon.
Regarding the location of the base, Zhao Yu had two options in mind.
One is the airport outside Shihai City, which has long been deserted, and the parked planes have left as early as the first year of the end times.
The location of the airport is not far from the city and the wilderness, and the residents in the surrounding area have also moved out early after listening to the statement that the enemy country should give priority to attacking the airport.
There is also a location, which is a chemical plant outside Qingming County.
Zhao Yu didn't know what the situation was there, but he felt that after the base was built, he might need to use some of the things that the chemical plant had.
At the beginning, Zhao Yu walked more cautiously, and as soon as he turned around in three steps, he stopped and watched after a little trouble.
Later, I found that some of the plants and trees were all soldiers, and during the day, all kinds of wild beasts returned to their nests to rest.
The speed gradually increased, and when night fell again, the hungry Zhao Yu finally rushed to the outskirts of the town.
【Daily Quest Refresh】
[Kill the xenos on the first floor of the grocery store.] Bonus: 30 science points. 】
"Daily Missions?!"
Zhao Yuleng paused, but he didn't expect that the mini-base also came with a mission system.
30 technology points, you can't see more or less, you have to judge the number according to the price of other types of buildings after the micro base is built.
Calculating the time, the mission refresh is the day after the system prompts him to have a mini-base.
After hesitating for a moment, Zhao Yu still decided to take over this task.
Xenomorph, a human being who has been radiated by mutant beasts and caused to mutate, is much stronger than ordinary people, and with his physical fitness of being injected with genetic potions, it should not be difficult to win.
Coming to the edge of the woods, Zhao Yu looked at the situation of this town from a distance.
As far as the eye could see, it was pitch black, as if no one was living there.
After observing for a while, I saw that there was no movement, but in the woods behind me, the strange cries of wild beasts were endless.
Zhao Yu took a deep breath, carried the spear, and quietly touched the town.
The town is small in size, with three streets, one connected to the main road and the other two parallel.
Zhao Yu cut in from the southwest of the town and approached the nearest two-story house.
The door of the house is wide open, the courtyard is overgrown with weeds, garbage is everywhere, cockroaches and rats are running around, and it seems that no one has lived in it for a long time.
Seeing this, Zhao Yu was relieved, which showed that there should be no one living in the house.
But the vigilance he should have was still there, and he entered as cautiously as ever.
"Squeak~~!"
Pushing open the small room near the courtyard gate, he was suddenly startled by a bunch of rats living in peace, and after a burst of squeaks, he fled into the cave in the corner of the wall.
The small room is not big, there are not many things to shelf, and there are two pairs of bitten galoshes at the door.
After a brief look, Zhao Yu's gaze suddenly stopped beside a farm tool.
"Hoes?!"
He was a little happy that the house he came in had farm tools that had not been taken away.
After coming to him and picking up the hoe, Zhao Yu knew why this thing hadn't been taken away.
It's just a hoe-shaped plastic toy, but I don't know what happened, it's pitch black, and it looks like the real thing.
"!"
Zhao Yu dropped the plastic and walked out with a gloomy face.
He said, well, the scavengers have plucked their feathers, how can they leave such a farm tool and not take it away.
Out of the small room, Zhao Yu entered the main room and rummaged for a while, and really let him find a burning stick made of iron in the carbon ash under the kang.
"That's good!"
The burning stick was not long, only thirty or forty centimeters, but it was iron after all, and stronger than the branch in his hand.
When Zhao Yu walked out of the house, the whole person became gray, and his hands were even more black.
But now, he didn't care about his appearance, wiped the burning stick with his coat, and then hung the hook end around his waist.
Leaving the house, Zhao Yu planned to continue the search and find one or two more weapons to take advantage of, but his stomach was empty, his stomach acid was rising in waves, and his head was even more dizzy from hunger.
"Can't find ......"
Zhao Yu realized that his physical strength was declining, and if he continued to look for it, he probably didn't have the strength to engage in xenomorphism.
Looking for food in this kind of place is not realistic, Zhao Yu only thinks about killing the xenos as soon as possible, and after making sure that it is safe, catch a few mice and replenish them.
Rats, when he first arrived at the shelter, he didn't bother to eat them, but now, that's all he can do.
After looking for a while, Zhao Yu found the xenomorph, which was in the grocery store at the moment, digging against a cellar.
His eyes suddenly brightened.
"Is there anyone there?!"
