However, no matter how these types of gene elixirs enhancers may caused mutate in the end, they are always inferior to any primary enhancer in combat ability. Therefore, organ enhancers are all categorized under the sensory system.

Normally, those who can access the Reed Group and are prepared for the consequences of failure would choose the combat-type gene medicine. Only those who don’t meet any criteria and are unwilling to remain mediocre would choose to develop in the sensory direction, becoming va.s.sals of the strong.

“Little Six, take some people along to get some wood nearby. Make a fence around these three houses. It doesn’t need to be too high or strong, just something to act as a buffer and prevent wild animals from getting too close to the houses…”

It must be said, as the head, Meng Xian does have some capabilities.

In just a morning, a gathering place was set up.

Centered around the refuge, using wooden fences, the nearby three houses were connected, forming a larger courtyard.

Moreover, Meng Xian had people weave nets from branches and place them over the courtyard to prevent eagles from s.n.a.t.c.hing people.

“Meng Lan, you and your sisters can also move around in this courtyard…”

At noon, Zhao Yu sat on a rock, holding a stick that was about two to three centimeters thick and one and a half meters long. The branches and leaves had been stripped clean, and one end of the stick was sharpened with a stone.

“It’s done…”

Looking at the somewhat straight makeshift spear in his hand, Zhao Yu revealed a contented smile.

Next, he would rely on this to defend himself, at least until he reached the next town and found some usable weapons.

“I wonder how they are doing over there…”

Zhao Yu hesitated for a moment, then climbed up the big tree, and when he reached a suitable height, he looked towards the direction of the town.

“Fences… branch nets… courtyard…”

In the courtyard, Su Lan and Xiu Lan were chasing each other with a sesame-covered pancake, looking very cheerful.

The manpower engine that was originally in the refuge was now in the courtyard, with Little Six and another man pedaling on it vigorously.

Meng Xian was instructing everyone with her hands on her hips, but everyone seemed to be smiling.

In addition to that, Zhao Yu saw a few unfamiliar faces.

In the middle of the courtyard, there were two fresh wild boar carca.s.ses, and two women were skinning them.

In just half a day, the once-desolate town was now bustling.

Zhao Yu hadn’t seen such a sight in a long time. It was like returning to the time before the apocalypse, and he couldn’t help but smile.

But then he was a bit dazed, “Didn’t 1 just time-travel here?!”

Unconsciously, the memories of the previous owner seemed to affect him, making him forget for a moment that he had traveled through time.

“And it seems I’ve become more sentimental…”

Haha…

A gust of wind blew, leaves fluttered, Zhao Yu caught a leaf in his hand. It was green with a hint of yellow, with peculiar patterns, bearing the unique beauty of the plants.

He snapped back to reality, casually dropped the leaf, took one last look in the direction of the courtyard, and whispered.

“I…has nothing to do with them anymore…”

Back on the ground, Zhao Yu picked up the makeshift spear, didn’t look back, and took steps in the opposite direction of the town.

Zhao Yu hadn’t lost hope. In his mind, he still had the E-cla.s.s mini-base to install.

Zhao Yu knew that he had to find a large enough place to accommodate more buildings.

However, the immediate concern was to get to the nearby town and find a weapon.

As for the location of the base, Zhao Yu had two options in mind.

One of his choices is the airport outside Stone Ocean City. It has long been abandoned with planes leaving in the first year of the apocalypse.

The airport’s location isn’t too far from both the city and the wilderness. The local residents, believing the rumors that enemy countries would prioritize targeting airports, moved away early on.

Another location is a chemical plant outside Qing Ming County.

Zhao Yu wasn’t clear about the situation there, but he believed that after the base was established, he might need some of the resources that the chemical plant could provides.

Zhao Yu always be cautions as every few steps and hid himself in the bush to observe any slight movement or noise.

Later on, he realized he was being overly cautious. During the daytime, most wild animals returned to their nests to rest.

His pace gradually quickened, and by nightfall, a famished Zhao Yu finally reached the outskirts of the small town.

[Daily mission refresh]

[Spotted Mutated human n the first floor of the grocery store. Please eliminate them. [Reward: 30 Technology Points]

“Daily task?!”

Zhao Yu hadn’t expected the mini-base to come with a task system.

Whether 30 tech points were a lot or a little was hard to determine without knowing the costs of other buildings in the mini-base.

The task refresh occurred exactly on the day following the system’s notification about the mini-base.

After some hesitation, Zhao Yu decided to accept the task.

Mutated human referred to humans who had mutated due to radiation exposure from mutated beasts. They were much stronger than ordinary humans. With the enhanced physical qualities from the gene elixir he’d injected, Zhao Yu believed he could handle them.

He reached the edge of a forest and observed the town from a distance.

All he saw was darkness, as if no one lived there.

He instead heard the continuous strange calls of beasts from the forest behind him.

Taking a deep breath, Zhao Yu stealthily approached the town.

The town wasn’t large, consisting of three streets. One connected to the main road, while the other two ran parallel.

Zhao Yu entered from the southwest side of the town and approached the nearest two-story residential building.

The gates of the house were wide open. Weeds thrived in the yard, with garbage everywhere. c.o.c.kroaches and rats ran rampant, suggesting the place had been uninhabited for a long time.

Zhao Yu felt more at ease, indicating that the house was likely uninhabited.

However, he remained vigilant and entered with caution.

“Creak—!”

Pushing open the door of the small room near the courtyard entrance, he startled a bunch of mice, which, after a flurry of squeaks, scurried into the hole in the corner of the wall.

The small room wasn’t large and didn’t contain many items. There were two pairs of rubber shoes near the door, bitten and full of holes.

After a brief look around, Zhao Yu’s eyes landed on a tool next to him.

“A hoe?!”

He felt a bit delighted, realizing that this house still had some useful tools left behind.

After picking up the hoe, Zhao Yu understood why it hadn’t been taken.

It was a toy…

“d.a.m.n it!”

Zhao Yu walked out with a frustrated expression.

He thought as much. Scavengers took everything they could find; it was unlikely for them to leave behind a real tool.

Zhao Yu searched all the main house and surprisingly found a metal fire poker under the traditional heated brick bed amidst the ash.

“Not bad!”

The fire poker was not very long, only about thirty to forty centimeters, but being made of metal, it was st.u.r.dier than his wooden stick.

By the time Zhao Yu emerged from the house, he was covered in dirt and soot.

However, he wasn’t concerned about his appearance. Using his coat, he cleaned the fire poker a bit and hung the hooked end around his waist.

Zhao Yu intended to continue his search for another weapon or two. But the emptiness in his stomach and the rising gastric acid, along with a dizzy head due to hunger, made him reconsider.

“I can’t search anymore…”

Zhao Yu realized that his energy was depleting. It might leave him without the strength to deal with the mutated human.

He just hoped to quickly eliminate the target ensure safety, and then catch a few rats for sustenance.

Back when he first arrived at the refuge, he would have turned his nose up at eating rats. Now, he had no choice.

After a short search, Zhao Yu found the grocery store, digging at a cellar.

His eyes lit up with excitement.

“Could there be someone down there?!”
