Volume 4: National Craftsmanship Chapter 143: Expansion of Territory
"The key is... who has that thing? Shang Qian and I don't need it..."
Shen Jin thought about it for a long time and decided to let Lao Wang find it. Judging from his appearance, he should have quite a few. Of course, Shen Jin wanted first-hand goods. Unsealed ones would not do. They were too shabby...
"Wait, I don't need it, why should I care?"
Lao Wang is worthy of being Lao Wang. Less than , he brought over a backpack of electronic toys with a fawning look on his face. All of them were unopened. I really don't know what kind of person in the end times would collect so many of these.
Shen Jin took it to his "kind aunt's" home with satisfaction...
“Dongdong~!”
Liu Yueer opened the door quickly. It seemed that she was not playing with any weird things. She had black hair, two round white rabbits... a brooch, and an exaggerated figure under her V-neck T-shirt. Her forearms were exposed, and her skin was as delicate and white as milk. This was a woman who could be rushed without even looking at her face...
Shen Jin secretly swallowed his saliva, touched his nose and said: "Thank you for taking the initiative to maintain the order of Home No. 1. Are you interested in joining my Extraordinary Team?"
"Not interested, bye!"
Liu Yue'er looked as if she was aloof from everyone, and I wonder if she was angry because Shen Jin stood her up last time.
The last time she took a shower, Shen Jin disappeared, and she was so angry that her whole body was shaking.
"Uh..." Shen Jin was a little embarrassed. "It's okay if you don't join. The main purpose is to express gratitude. By the way, here are some gifts for you. Please accept them!"
A package appeared in Shen Jin's hand. Inside were unopened boxes. Most of the pictures were pink. Liu Yue'er didn't open them. She smiled casually: "You are kind enough. I will protect this community from now on~!"
She patted her big brooch, causing a wave of excitement, which made Shen Jin cough. "Ahem... It's okay, I'll leave first. If you need any supplies, you can go to the inner city to ask Lao Wang for them!"
Shen Jin felt that he shouldn't stay here any longer. This woman was poisonous. Her every move could arouse his primitive desires. Even a Level 3 Transcendent could not control his concentration...
"Well, I just happened to be planning to buy some food inside." Liu Yue'er casually took out a handful of homeland coins and showed them to Shen Jin. It seemed that he was not short of money. Shen Jin also knew that as a second-level extraordinary person, if he showed a little savings, he would not have to worry about food and clothing in Home No. 1. Liu Yue'er watched Shen Jin go downstairs, then opened the package and saw the brand new "toys" inside...
A moment later, Liu Yueer's angry roar came from the corridor: "Shen! Jin! Come here!!!"
"Why are you yelling so loudly?"
Shen Jin's pace downstairs quickened a little...
He believed that Liu Yueer was just a little embarrassed, but she would still use it if necessary, pretending to be ashamed and angry, and then go back to enjoy it, "It must be like this!"
Shen Jin felt that his wave was in the atmosphere.
Liu Yueer's face was so red that it was almost dripping with water. The roots of her ears were covered with a layer of red. She was pink and cute, just like a ripe cherry. She muttered, "You don't want me, but you still tease me like this. How abominable!"
After that, he started to complain again, "When will I have someone to enjoy this delicate body with?"
…
Two days later, the Q City's superhumans, who had finished their repairs, went out in a mighty force of five zombie-killing teams and one self-defense force. Q City had not cleared zombies on a large scale for a week, and zombies were wandering back to many of the urban areas that had been cleared before. When the pseudo-superhumans went out recently, they were terrified because there were no superhumans around. There was a complementary relationship between the pseudo-superhumans and the zombie-killing team. The zombie-killing team kept advancing, picking up all kinds of high-value items. They didn't have time to dig deep into each occupied location, so they would only take the most valuable items, and the rest were chicken to them. ribs, but for the pseudo-superhumans, it is a good supply. They will pack up and take away the remaining small things, and then sell them to the No. 1 Home Recycling Station when they go back. The recycling station can sort them and distribute them to various stores for trading, thereby comprehensively enriching the overall supplies of No. 1 Home. If the pseudo-superhumans encounter invincible zombies, such as... a first-order evolved zombie, they will rely on a full set of bone armor on their bodies to withstand a few attacks, and then look for the corpse-killing team in the surrounding area, lure the zombies over, and let them deal with them. With the cooperation of the two, the zombies and supplies in Q City... will be wiped out!
Got ripped off...
During this period, there are more and more pseudo-superhumans in Home No. 1, and the number has reached 10,000. They have become an important force in killing ordinary evolved zombies.
Meng San, Tong Zhen, Li Zhe, Wu Yong, and Qi Tong led five troops respectively to expand on the east and west sides of Home Base No. 1. The extraordinary people in their team had to carry a large amount of [cobblestones] in their backpacks, killing zombies and building walls along the way. When their teams completed the merger and the walls were closed, most of the land in the entire Q city would be incorporated into Home Base No. 1. For this reason, Shen Jin asked them not to demolish the buildings when collecting supplies, because in the future, these places would be habitable.
Although there aren't that many people in Q City anymore...
The zombie-killing team led by Meng San was walking in YS University. This place was out of the city and located at the intersection of the development zone and the city. The population density was not high, but the university itself and the series of surrounding industries it brought about made the flow of people here quite large. When the zombie virus broke out, it was summer vacation, but there were still many students in YS University, some taking postgraduate entrance exams, some working part-time, some starting businesses...
As a key university in H Province, the school's atmosphere is still very good. Meng San will clean up this 3,000-acre YS University today. At this time, a thin but muscular little zombie suddenly jumped out from the dense green belt in front of the school gate. It ran very fast and ran out from the shadows. Before everyone could react, it pounced on Meng San. Meng San didn't even blink, and his left arm glowed with golden light, "Bang!"
The ordinary punch, which was launched later but arrived first, hit the bared teeth of the first-level small zombie, and the sharp teeth directly shattered a mouthful of it. Then the force blasted the head of the first-level small zombie into a pool of meat paste. Meng San calmly withdrew his arm, "Keep going, there is at least one reproductive zombie here, take down its lair!"
"Captain is awesome!"
Everyone's self-confidence was overflowing. After taking drugs together for the previous two days, most people's supernatural power levels had grown to the peak of the first level!
As a transcendent who has been promoted to the second level himself, Meng San has accumulated even more profound experience. After drinking Shen Jin's potion, he has already reached the advanced stage of the second level. His power-type abilities have undergone new strange changes, and internal strength has appeared in his body!
That is a new type of power besides superpowers. Even if Meng San's superpowers are exhausted, he can still rely on his strong physical fitness and internal strength to fight. It not only improves his attack power, but also greatly improves his combat endurance. Meng San has now become the most enduring among the captains!
You can keep outputting like crazy.
At this time, there were rustling sounds all around, and countless small zombies ran out from YS University. The 80 crossbowmen were blankly looking at each other, and countless battle data poured into their minds. They simply staggered a few steps and formed a semicircular shooting formation at the gate, "Puff puff puff--"
The trigger of the crossbow was pulled, and the sound of the crossbow string bouncing back was heard. One by one, the heads of the little zombies were pierced by the flaming crossbow arrows, and every arrow hit its target!
“Puff, puff, puff—”
After two more rounds of shooting, the aggressive little zombies were reduced to just a few...
The power of the crossbowman is so terrifying!
80 crossbowmen extraordinary men released their genetic lock status, and the others rushed forward. From time to time, a few crossbow arrows were fired from the back of the team, destroying the zombies that rushed out one by one. While moving forward, the crossbowmen took their crossbow arrows from the surrounding walls, and they could use them many times.
30 minutes later, with the desperate roar of the reproductive zombie, the entire YS University fell silent...
Meng San's body flashed with golden light, and the blood stains on his body disappeared. He sighed and said, "Please send those poor women off..."
“Puff, puff, puff—”
The reproductive zombies and their nests, which once required the entire strength of Home No. 1 to deal with, can now be easily destroyed by just Meng San's team.
…
"That's...Y2 zombies in the sky! Be careful, they are extremely lethal!"
Miao Shubai raised an air wall to block the Y2 zombie's attack path and saved a team member who was attacked by it. The 80 crossbowmen of the Corpse Killing Team 2 fought back immediately, and 80 extremely fast crossbow arrows flew towards the low-flying Y2 zombie, "Wow--"
The red hair on the wings of the Y2 zombie exploded, and a strong energy shock wave blew away all the crossbow arrows. Li Zhe sneered and said, "Shu Bai, control it for 5 seconds!"
After saying that, Li Zhe stretched out his left and right arms and transformed into 10 tentacles. Then, the tentacles changed again and turned into arms again, but they were... 10 arms!
The second-level advanced strange power, the body can not only split into tentacles, but also change into various body tissues. Three heads and six arms are the abilities of the second-level strange power user!
Li Zhe's 10 hands fumbled in the [Craftsman's Soul Backpack] for a while and took out 10 purple weapons, swords, knives, hammers, pots, axes...
"Vacuum field!"
Miao Shubai's ability remained the same as before. At this moment, six air walls formed from the air and pressed towards the Y2 zombie. The air inside was completely sucked out, "Pa pa pa!"
The Y2 zombie sensed the crisis and frantically attacked the surrounding air wall, creating cracks one after another. It looked like it was about to collapse, but... 5 seconds was enough!
"Take my hammer!"
At the moment the air wall broke, Li Zhe jumped up and smashed over with the [Mayuling Hammer] in one hand. When it touched the body of the Y2 zombie, three bumps popped out on the hammer, which strengthened the [Knockback] attribute three times!
"Bang!"
The Y2 zombie was smashed to the ground by a huge force, and a big hole was smashed in the ground. It struggled hard and flew up with its red wings flapping, "bang!"
A huge [Mayuling Frying Pan] fell from the sky and smashed it in again. Then, Li Zhe held a weapon in each of his 10 hands and pressed the Y2 zombie into the hole for a while. After a while, Li Zhe yelled, "Die!"
The long sword with the [Sharp] attribute strengthened 3 times suddenly pierced through the head of the stunned Y2 zombie, and the Y2 zombie... died.
Li Zhe stood at the edge of the pit, with a tentacle extending from his toes. He fumbled in the hole for a while and grabbed a [Second-level Energy Crystal Core (Strength)].
…
Tong Zhen's team was advancing along the beach. In front of the team, four "people" in red, yellow, brown and blue who looked 90% like Tong Zhen were leading the way. The aura flowing between them seemed to form a whole, but something was missing. Perhaps Tong Zhen could only complete his summoning ability after he reached the third level.
However, his combat effectiveness is now extremely high!
Each elemental body has the power of the second level, which is equivalent to 4 second-level extraordinary people clearing the way in front. When they encounter a first-level zombie, they will kill it instantly. When they encounter an ordinary evolved zombie, the crossbowmen can kill it with one arrow. The old team members have no chance to show their abilities...
"No, I have to learn my crossbow skills, otherwise I feel like I'll be left behind by the times..."
"Hehe~! Isn't it nice to lie down when the big guys are taking care of you? I really enjoy the feeling of being pampered. Lie down, lie down~!"
"Don't worry, we still have an ultimate skill that can only be used by us psychics!"
"That makes sense... Let's just leave these small fry to them. We want to do something big!"
The atmosphere in Corpse Killing Team 4 is quite harmonious.
…
Compared to the other teams advancing on foot, the style of the Corpse Killing Team 5 was obviously different. Except for the iconic strange car in the middle of the team, everyone else was riding on a cart made of wood and stones. In front was a wooden ox and horse with wheels, and in the back was a cart. A faint khaki light was flashing, and the wooden ox and horse pulled the cart forward quickly. The extraordinary people were all standing inside, and the crossbowmen shot at the zombies that kept appearing around them one by one, with extremely high accuracy!
If a zombie approaches the people in the car, the mechanism in the wooden ox and horse will be activated, automatically propping up a simple protective shield, and then firing hidden weapons to beat the nearby zombies into a sieve.
But at the moment, the firepower of 80 crossbowmen is enough to suppress the zombies along the way. Unless they are first-level evolved zombies, they have no chance of getting close to the convoy.
…
Qi Tong's "Dark Night Angel Team" is now officially renamed the Zombie Killing Team 6. She still leads the team members to go out at night. Under the night light, Qi Tong and the team's extraordinary people float in the air wearing [jet packs]. Her body emits a large amount of incandescent light, illuminating the darkness and exposing the dormant zombies. Shoot them in the air!
Zombies at night are like targets. As long as you keep your vision clear and be careful of sneak attacks from deformed zombies, they are easier to hunt than during the day.
The advanced second-level Qi Tong can now emit light that can not only illuminate a large area, but also cause extremely strong explosive damage, and has extremely strong long-range attacks!
…
Yang Ao and his team have more people. The Self-Defense Forces are responsible for all the areas on the north side of the base. There are large fields and mountains here, and the population density is extremely low, so the speed of advancement is also the fastest. As they advance all the way, Shen Jin's farming teams also quickly catch up and plant all kinds of vegetables and fruits in the fields. In some fields, last year's seedlings are still there, so they leave them there and start to take care of them to ensure that they have a good yield this year.
Nowadays, most of the ordinary people in Home Base No. 1 have been pulled here to farm. It's not that they are more proactive or have a sense of the overall situation, but... Shang Qian's salary for the farmers is really not low, higher than the salary of most types of jobs. At this time, the advantage of having a simple economic system is reflected. Having money can mobilize enthusiasm and expand productivity. At the same time, this money will stimulate consumption in the entire base, thereby generating the flow of various materials. This is much better than before when everyone hid the materials and kept them in their hands and spoiled. Of course, the most critical link is that the public security of Home Base No. 1 is good, and the property will be protected by Home Base No. 1. Everyone can safely exchange the materials for Home Coins, and then consume and store them.
While the other extraordinary people were accelerating the expansion of their territories, Shen Jin began to study [Intermediate Industry III]. He made a set of [Nano Armor] for Yang Ao, Shang Qian and his little niece, which cost a lot of [coal] and [diamonds]. Moreover, this equipment was a big consumer of electricity. It required 400,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity to fully charge the whole body. If Shen Jin planned to promote the nano suit, he would have to build a large number of wind power stations. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing that he could afford to build the equipment but not the electricity...
This armor would be useless without electricity.
However, Shen Jin is not in a hurry to promote the nano suit for the time being. The strength of the Artisan Soul Armor is very high now. It is enough to deal with the zombies at this stage. There is no need to change it. Now, it is the time for spring plowing. He wants to study the three new machines of [Intermediate Industry III] carefully:
[Crop monitoring machine], [Crop harvester], [Crop analyzer]...
