Chapter 8 Placement of Micro Bases
When Zhao Yu discovered the xenomorph, the other party also discovered him in some way.
"Roar~!"
After a low roar, the xenomorph resembles a human, but it falls on all fours like a wild beast and pounces in this direction.
Here it comes!
Zhao Yu tightened the spear in his hand, staring at the trajectory of the xenomorph without blinking.
"Death to the master!"
When the distance between the two sides was still two meters, Zhao Yu moved and used the spear to insert it far away.
"Poof~!"
The xenomorph didn't seem to expect it at all, or it didn't know how to dodge at all, and relied on its own inertia to poke at it.
It's done!
Zhao Yu was overjoyed, and just as he was about to take out the burning stick on his waist to pursue him, a black shadow suddenly flashed.
He subconsciously raised his arm to block, and in the next second, a huge force struck.
Zhao Yu stumbled, his body rolled over, and he fell to the side.
At this time, he didn't have time to think about it at all, and directly pulled out the burning stick on his waist to defend.
At the same time, he finally saw the black shadow that attacked him, which turned out to be an arthropod-like tail sticking out from the back of the xenomorph's ass.
After a single blow, the tail seems to lose its strength and slowly retracts, or it needs to be charged to eject it.
Zhao Yu observed slightly, and at the moment when the tail was about to retract to its original position, he pounced with a burning stick.
"Roar~~!"
The xenomorph seemed to feel threatened, and was about to dodge with a low roar, but Zhao Yu grabbed the spear stuck in his chest, making it impossible for it to escape.
"Death~!"
At the moment when the xenomorph waved its claws and fanned over, the burning stick in Zhao Yu's hand also plunged straight into its head.
"Thorn~~!"
The clothes on Zhao Yu's shoulders were cut three times in an instant, and blood flowed endlessly.
On the other hand, after a hole was poked out of the head, the body shook a few times like a zombie, and finally fell to the ground, out of breath.
This thing shouldn't be pretending to be dead, right?!
Zhao Yu didn't care about checking the injuries on his body, quickly pulled out the burning stick, and made up for it a few more times in the xenomorph's head, poking out three or five holes, before he gave up and sat down on the ground.
"Huhu~~!"
Zhao Yu grinned and gasped, with a hint of joy between his eyebrows, this was the first time he had fought the xenomorphs head-on.
Before he could think about the battle, the wound on his shoulder was torn by the wind, and Zhao Yuden gasped in pain.
"It's not fucking toxic, is it?!"
Zhao Yu was a little worried, glanced at the wound, then at his dark hands, struggled to get up, and walked towards the house guarded by the xenomorph before.
Entering the house, Zhao Yu saw the familiar manhole cover at a glance, which was the same model as his shelter.
Will the people at the bottom open the door?!
Zhao Yu was a little apprehensive in his heart, but now that he has come, he can only try.
He walked over to the manhole cover and began to shout as he tapped it.
"I've killed the xenomorphs, I'm a little injured, do you have alcohol here?!"
After shouting several times, a response finally came from inside.
"Step back a bit!"
When Zhao Yu heard this, he stayed away from the manhole cover and retreated to a place several meters away.
"Click~!"
The manhole cover opened, and a head and a hand poked out, and in that hand was a brand new pistol.
After a while, two women, one large and one small, came out of the manhole cover.
The eldest is in his thirties, although his clothes are a little whitish, but it is difficult to hide his noble temperament, and the younger one is fifteen or sixteen years old, with a pair of porcelain baby faces, pure eyes, and big eyes that flickered and looked at Zhao Yu curiously.
One of them had a gun, the other a toolbox.
Looking at their dress and state, Zhao Yu guessed that it should be someone like him, who has not suffered much, and has been staying in the shelter since the end of the world.
"You throw away the weapon, I'll ask my daughter to help you bandage the wound~!"
The noble lady raised the gun in her hand and motioned for Zhao Yu to do so.
"I understand, thank you so much......"
Zhao Yu casually threw the burning stick three or four meters away, and at the same time turned around in place a few times, indicating that he had no other weapons.
Seeing this, the noble lady asked her daughter to go up and help treat the wound.
"I think we're thanking you for helping us kill this monster at the door......"
The noble lady said this, but the gun in her hand was not put down, and she still looked at Zhao Yu vigilantly.
In the last days, it is indispensable to guard against people, and Zhao Yu didn't care, so he said casually: "Are you two here?!" ”
The lady's eyes were a little dim, and the little girl who was holding alcohol to smear Zhao Yu's wound also paused.
"My husband used to live here with us, but he hasn't been back for a week......"
A week, this time is not short, in this last days, there is a high probability of dying outside.
The noble lady also seemed to have accepted this reality and began to inquire about Zhao Yu's situation.
"I'm from the town of Blackwater next door......"
"Is there anything going on over there?"
Zhao Yu looked bitter, smiled bitterly, and said: "Mengjiazhuang encountered a mutant beast over there, and the owner of Mengjiazhuang took her people to Heishui Town to set up camp, and it won't be long before a new gathering place can be formed......
"They kicked you out?!" The lady asked, a little nervously.
Blackwater Town is not far from the town where they are, and it can only be reached in about half an hour by car before the end of the world.
"Sort of......
Zhao Yu shook his head and said, "Do you have anything to eat here?" ”
The noble lady frowned, but seeing Zhao Yu's weak appearance and the injuries he had just received from fighting with the xenomorphs, she considered it for a while, and then said, "We don't have much food left, otherwise, my husband won't go out......"
"However, if you help us get rid of this monster at the door, I'm willing to give you some food......"
Soon, the little girl disinfected the wound on Zhao Yu's shoulder, and wrapped it with a bandage a few times.
Judging from her proficiency, Zhao Yu guessed that her father should be someone who was out a lot and got hurt.
"Thank you~!" Zhao Yu was also very tired at the moment, and when he saw that the wound was bandaged, he was not too dirty, so he sat directly on the ground.
Then the lady looked at her daughter and said, "Go down and get some food, and bring another pot of water to ......."
In a few moments, the little girl climbed up with a few pieces of jerky, two boiled potatoes, and a jug of water.
There is dried meat, which means that his guess is good, and the male owner of this shelter should often go out hunting.
Zhao Yu took the food and began to gobble it up.
He ate so cleanly that he drank all the water, and he didn't even bother to peel off the potatoes, he ate them all.
After the meal, the two chatted a few more words.
The lady hesitated for a moment and said, "Where are you going?" ”
"Let's go to the county seat!" Zhao Yu replied casually.
The lady showed a hesitant expression on her face, there was actually not much food at home, her husband had not come back for a week, and it was impossible to come back depending on the situation.
This means that without the protection of men, their mother and daughter will not live long.
With her skills, even if she has a gun, it is difficult to hit the prey, and the gun is used to defend against people, and if you hunt, there are not enough bullets at all.
"Have you ever thought about staying here?!"
"Huh?!" Zhao Yuleng paused for a moment and looked at her with some suspicion.
The noblewoman's face turned red, she glanced at her daughter, and hurriedly said, "I mean, you can stay in this town, there are many empty houses in the town, and we can take care of each other......"
"No!"
Zhao Yu directly refused, "My destination is the county ......"
This made the lady a little uncomfortable, and she thought that she could leave this man behind by inviting her personally.
Looking at her ignorant daughter on the side, she felt a pain in her heart, gritted her teeth and said, "Are you worried about the danger living in the town?" ”
"If you don't dislike it, we have a room in the shelter where you can stay for a while......"
When her daughter heard this, she looked at the noble lady with wide eyes, as if she did not expect her to say this.
"Mom, have you ever thought about Dad coming back and knowing what the consequences will be if you let other men live in our house?!" She unceremoniously questioned on the spot.
The noble lady looked bitter and shook her head, "Your father can't come back......"
"Nonsense......"
Seeing that the mother and daughter seemed to be about to quarrel, Zhao Yu suddenly felt big, and hurriedly said: "No need, I don't live here, I have something to do in the county seat, and I can't stay in this place for a long time......
The noble lady was immediately diverted, and stopped arguing with her daughter, looked at Zhao Yu, looked at him, and said, "Is there a place to live over there?" ”
Zhao Yu was silent, whether he could go to the county seat or not, the chemical plant was still on the other side of the county.
After thinking for a moment, the noble lady spoke, "You...... Can you take our mother and daughter with you?! ”
When the girl on the side heard this, her eyes widened, and she looked at the young woman in disbelief, "Are you going to leave your father and run away with the wild man?!" ”
"I'm not leaving, I'm going to wait here for my dad to come back......"
The lady was suddenly tired, and was about to say something when Zhao Yu spoke.
"There's no point in following me, my trip is uncertain, there are mutant beasts in the county, and it's not a good place to go......"
As he spoke, he added, "If you don't want to stay in the Vault, you can go to Blackwater......
"Blackwater?!"
The noble lady paused for a moment and said blankly: "Weren't you kicked out by them?!" ”
Zhao Yu looked embarrassed, shook his head, and said: "My situation is quite special, and being kicked out is also my own problem, the Meng Zhuang master of Heishui Town is a woman, her strength is very strong, and she has reached the third order, you go there, with her protection, you should be able to live......"
Woman?!
Third Order?!
The lady was shocked, in this last days, there are still women in power?!
Zhao Yu briefly told her about the situation of the third order, of course, he himself didn't know how strong the third order was, but he just said that the strength of the third order far surpassed him.
After hearing that even Zhao Yu couldn't beat that Meng Zhuang master, and even the gap was huge, the noble lady suddenly felt a little moved.
"That Meng Zhuang master, is she easy to get along with?!"
Zhao Yu shrugged his shoulders and said, "It should be good for women......
When the lady heard this, she became more and more moved, and her daughter kept clamoring that she would not leave, and that she would stay here and wait for her father.
Zhao Yu sighed, feeling that he was almost resting, so he simply stood up and said, "Thank you for the food, I'm leaving~!" ”
"Huh?"
The two were shocked, they didn't expect Zhao Yu to leave so soon.
In his absence, the two of them would not dare to stay on the ground.
Before leaving, Zhao Yu reminded: "I suggest that you walk during the day, there are wild beasts at night, your eyesight should not be as good as them......"
"It's okay during the day, if you have a gun, you should be fine walking from the woods......"
After speaking, Zhao Yu picked up his burning stick and spear, and stepped forward to leave.
Who knows, just after taking two steps, the noble lady suddenly stopped him.
"That, thank you, I see you don't seem to have a weapon, do you want to take this knife away?!"
As soon as Zhao Yu turned his head, he saw the noble lady holding a machete more than 20 centimeters long.
His eyes lit up suddenly, "You still have this kind of weapon?!" ”
"Well, I have a few handfuls at home......"
Taking the machete, Zhao Yu's fingers lightly slashed from the blade, and after feeling the sharpness, he couldn't help but be happy.
With this weapon, the road behind him is much easier.
"Thank you!"
finally thanked him once, and Zhao Yu went on the road again.
The noble lady wanted to speak and stopped, but in the end she didn't say anything, and after seeing Zhao Yu walking away, she hurriedly returned to the underground with her daughter.
After eating something, Zhao Yu felt that the strength in his body had returned, although the wound was still very painful, but he couldn't care so much at the moment.
He had to get to his destination as soon as possible and set up the base before he ran out of energy.
In his head, the system beep sounded early, but he was so focused on the fight that he didn't pay attention.
Relax at the moment, and sure enough, I saw in the system panel that the balance of technology points showed 30 points.
"Today's daily mission has been completed, and according to the inference, it should be refreshed at this time tomorrow......"
With one more weapon, Zhao Yu is even more courageous, especially since even the xenomorphs have been killed, and he has some understanding of his own strength.
On the rest of the journey, his speed increased by a few points.
During this period, they encountered a group of wild wolves that smelled the smell of blood and rushed over, but they were not brave enough after all, and under the shock of Zhao Yu's fierce aura, they just followed for a while, and after a few simple tests, they dispersed.
"Looks like they're having a good time......
Zhao Yu knew very well that if these wild wolves were extremely hungry, they would definitely attack him.
Now they retreated only tentatively, indicating that they too were afraid of being hurt, and that food seemed to be plentiful.
Without human interference, wild animals seem to have entered the stage of savage growth, like before, there could be any wolves around this kind of town, but now, not only wolves, but even other tiger-like creatures, there are quite a few.
Fortunately, Zhao Yu only heard the roar, but he didn't see it with his own eyes, with his strength, against the tiger, he may not be able to win it.
After a night of driving, at dawn, Zhao Yu finally arrived outside the county seat.
From afar, you can feel a strong sense of oppression.
"Mutant beasts?!"
This sense of oppression, which has never been encountered, is as if it were a natural hierarchical oppression.
Zhao Yu was a little surprised, "Are the mutant beasts the future of this planet, are they evolutionary?!" ”
These questions were too empty, Zhao Yu did not think deeply, did not dare to enter the county seat, but left from the outside.
The closer you get to the mutant beast, the more chaotic creatures such as radiation beasts, xenomorphs, etc., Zhao Yu better stay away.
After walking for a while, the sky brightened, and all kinds of birds could be seen soaring in the air in the distance.
During the day, it's these guys in the sky who have to be careful.
Zhao Yu walked, but he was more careful than at night, and basically walked where there were trees as cover.
Finally, when the sun rose in mid-sky, Zhao Yu arrived at his destination.
The chemical plant, known as the smog maker, is silently at the moment, and several scattered huge chimneys stand alone.
Zhao Yu came to a short distance outside the main gate, took a closer look, and didn't find any movement inside, so he took a closer look.
The porter had long since been empty, and except for a wooden bed, even the mattress had been picked up by the scavengers.
Looking at the dust on the ground and making sure that there was no human activity here, Zhao Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
didn't dare to go deeper, and chose to place a miniature base in a nearby open field.
"Brush~~!"
A boxy, five-meter-high steel building rose from the ground in an instant.
Zhao Yu glanced at it casually and quickly came to the main entrance.
The electric door opened automatically, and he stepped inside.
Inside the base, similar to the lunar base, there is a control room in the center, and there are some empty rooms around it.
Zhao Yu went straight to the control room to check the buildings he could exchange for at the moment.
[Energy Station (0/3): 100 science points.] 】
To his astonishment, the exchange list was empty, and there was only one energy station to exchange.
"What the hell?!"
He was a little anxious and hurriedly asked about the system.
After some understanding, I learned that this E-class miniature base has similar functions to the lunar base, but it is different.
Under this base system, after the energy station is built, the buildings that can be built will be displayed, and other buildings can be built.
"100 Tech Points ......"
Zhao Yu glanced at his balance, which was only 30 points, which he obtained from doing daily tasks yesterday.
Fortunately, after the base is completed, there is a countdown in the science and technology points column on the control panel, which is the time for the technology points to be refreshed.
Like the Moon Base, it can refresh 1 tech point every hour, which is not much, but it is better than nothing.
"If you look at it this way, by this time tomorrow, there should be 54 technology points, and by tomorrow night, you can have about 90 points, and the morning after tomorrow you will have enough 100 technology points......
It took two days to accumulate enough technology points to exchange for the energy station, and Zhao Yu was also a little relieved.
Walking out of the control room, I walked around the other rooms, which were mostly empty lounges.
There was no food, but I was able to sleep in a sheltered place.
This miniature base, only he himself can enter and exit, although there is no defense force at the moment, the base itself has a certain amount of armor.
He was safe inside until his armor was cleared.
But if the armor is cleared, then the entire base is naturally gone.
In the base, there is a reserve of water sources, but the number is not much, according to the prompts, after the energy station is completed, the base will not be short of water.
Reserve water source, he can use it alone, and he can't drink it all in a week, Zhao Yu looked at his dirty appearance, and took a shower directly.
"There was electricity in the base, and if I knew about it, I took the chainsaw from the shelter ......"
Zhao Yudun regretted that in his shelter, there was a rechargeable chainsaw, but because it consumed too much electricity and could not find diesel, he had not used it much since he bought it.
But he didn't think much about it, even if he returned to the shelter and Meng Xian was there, the rechargeable chainsaw had nothing to do with him.
After a day's journey, Zhao Yu was physically and mentally exhausted, and there were injuries on his body, so he fell asleep after taking a shower for a while.
