Chapter 283: Energy Station
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Zhao Yu was about to head out to set up the energy station when he stopped short at the entrance, his eyes glued to the surveillance feed overhead. Outside the door, several mutants were wandering back and forth.
He quickly retreated to the surveillance room. What he saw next gave him an even bigger shock.
There were more than a dozen mutants, maybe even twenty, surrounding his base.
And this was only within the range of the surveillance cameras. There could be even more further away.
“What on earth is going on?” he wondered, panic rising within him.
He quickly thought back to the woman, Rose he had helped leave rhe city the previous day.
“What did she do?”
Thinking of the roaring from the mutated beasts in the city the night before,. Zhao Yu realized that these mutants were probably sent by those very beasts. “Can mutated beasts control mutants?”
He had heard of mutated beasts controlling irradiated beasts, but controlling mutants was new to him.
But all this was beside the point. What bothered him the most was that these mutants outside prevented him from leaving his base.
“Just how many mutants are there in this city?”
He felt lost. His location was at least four to five kilometers away from the city.
How could there be so many mutants covering such a distance?
Especially since these mutants resembled humans, it was highly probable they had transformed from humans.
Fortunately, the base was armored and had excellent soundproofing. The mutants outside were perhaps lingering due to the residual scent, but they didn’t attack the base.
For the next few hours, Zhao Yu constantly monitoring the situation outside through the surveillance cameras.
After about seven or eight hours, rhe number of mutants outside began to decrease sharply.
it seemed that the scent he left behind had finally dissipated, leading the mutants elsewhere.
[Daily mission refresh ]
I Kill the mutated at this location. Reward: 30 Technology Points. ]
Zhao Yu was excited about the refresh of the daily tasks, but the location this time was about two kilometers from the city, lying between his base and the city.
“This place… the mission won’t be easy.” Zhao Yu murmured, furrowing his brow.
Given the mutants dispatched by the mutated beasts, the closer he got to the city, the denser the mutants were, and he might even encounter irradiated beasts.
Moreover, there were still four or five mutants outside his door. Even if the daily task was refreshed, he couldn’t go out and do it.
Zhao Yu waited until deep into the night. Seeing that the mutants outside did not leave, he eventually went to bed with a heavy heart.
When he woke up the next morning, he habitually checked his technology points. After a day of natural growth, it had reached 127 points.
“If I don’t do the daily tasks and wait until tonight’s refresh, won’t 1 lose out on
30 technology points?” he thought.
Without even washing up, he quickly went to the surveillance room to check the situation outside. To his relief, the mutants had disappeared.
“That’s some good news,” he mused.
Suppressing his excitement, he stayed in the surveillance room for another half hour. After confirmed that no new mutants had appeared in the surveillance footage, he finally let out a sigh of relief.
He ate a pack of food with purified water. Feeling a bit energized, Zhao Yu then checked the condition of his gun and ammunition.
He approached the base’s entrance and ventured out carefully.
All was quiet outside the factory. No mutants.
“They’re finally gone.”
Zhao Yu quickly placed the energy station nearby his base.
Whoosh!
A slightly taller structure than the base sprouted from the ground.
Meanwhile, Zhao Yu’s mind refreshed with new building options.
[Training Camp: Can train all types of troops. I Technology Points required for exchange: 100]
[Munitions Factory: Can create all types of weapons. [Technology Points required for exchange: too]
[Tank Factory: Able to manufacture all types of vehicles. [Technology Points required for exchange: 100]
As he had previously notified by the system, once the energy station was built, new building options appeared.
“Training Camp! ” Zhao Yu exclaimed in delight. No matter if it produced robots or biohumans, having them was much safer than taking risks himself.
“The training camp also needs 100 technology points…”
Checking his balance, 28 points was all he have now.
Including the 30 points from the daily tasks, and the 30 points from the
refreshed daily tasks in the evening, by night he should be able to redeem the training camp after completing the tasks.
“I still have two daily tasks left…”
Taking a deep breath, Zhao Yu realized that he had to complete these two tasks.
He immediately started walking towards the city.
Following the mission map, the target mutants weren’t on this road but on another side from his base.
He hadn’t been on that side before and had no idea what to expect.
But even if it was dangerous ahead, he had to push through!
After walking about four to five hundred meters, Zhao Yu noticed something.
Ahead of him, a mutant was guarding at the entrance of an abandoned small auto repair shop.
“Should 1 take a detour?”
With the gun in his hand, he worried that firing it might attract more mutants.
Without much hesitation, Zhao Yu decided to take a detour.
Whatever was in that auto repair shop that caught the mutant s attention wasn’t his concern right now.
The mission was the priority!
After taking a detour and spending some extra time, Zhao Yu finally arrived at the side road leading to the mission site..
