"Is it a self-destruct skill?"
After reviewing the overloaded attributes, Xu Zhengyang nodded and directly chose to use it, saying, "With this skill, even if my drone doesn't carry bombs, just upgrading the battery pack of the drone will turn it into a powerful precision missile!"
As he spoke, Xu Zhengyang opened his task list to check the latest main quest:
[Main Quest: Storage Upgrade (In Progress)]
[As you gradually develop, the rudimentary storage system in the shelter can no longer meet your development needs. To prevent the storage system from holding you back, please upgrade your storage system!]
[Task Objective: Integrate your warehouse system and expand the area to 5,000 square meters according to current building standards.]
[Task Reward: Teleport Gate (Level I)]
Seeing the task reward, Xu Zhengyang's eyes widened with excitement; this time the reward was actually a piece of time-space equipment!
Xu Zhengyang already had a piece of time-space equipment, which was his Dimensional Space Pocket!
Because of this, Xu Zhengyang was particularly aware of the value of time-space equipment! Without hesitation, he immediately said to Da Bai, "Da Bai, I'm temporarily giving you control over the Four-Dimensional Rubik's Cube. Immediately expand the warehouse to 5,000 square meters according to current building standards!"
"Understood, Master."
Da Bai agreed and projected a series of equipment lists onto Xu Zhengyang's contact lenses, saying, "I have already started working on the hardware part. However, I still need a batch of refrigeration equipment. These places were suppliers of cold storage solutions before the apocalypse. Master, you can check here to see if there are enough refrigeration devices to bring back."
As Da Bai spoke, he projected a map onto Xu Zhengyang's contact lenses, marking fourteen navigation points.
"This kind of task is much easier to complete before the apocalypse!" Xu Zhengyang stretched and sighed.
Before the apocalypse, when Xu Zhengyang encountered such tasks, he only needed to throw money at local cold storage suppliers. With a financial offensive, he would only need to wait three days for various materials to be delivered, thus completing the task.
But now, Xu Zhengyang had to personally visit the manufacturers. If the warehouse at the manufacturer had stock, that would be fine; if not, or if there wasn't enough...
Just thinking about this made Xu Zhengyang's head ache.
That said, the work still had to be done. After all, the FPV drone form of the Hurricane Light Multi-Function Mecha was extremely fast.
So, Xu Zhengyang tidied up a bit and prepared to follow the route Da Bai had planned, starting from the nearest location and working his way out!
Ten minutes later.
Xu Zhengyang arrived at the first cold storage manufacturer, clearing away the bloody meat carpet there.
At that moment, Da Bai suddenly contacted him via satellite signal, saying, "Master, new people have arrived at the New Baicheng survivor camp, and the leader is the same person from yesterday. Today, he brought seven large trailers. Just now, he took a loudspeaker and apologized for his recklessness from 1.5 kilometers away from the shelter, expressing his desire to take away that tank and armored vehicle. Do you want to let him take the tank and armored vehicle?"
As Da Bai spoke, he sent the video of Zhou Xin's apology to Xu Zhengyang's contact lenses.
"Just come and go as you please? What do you think I said yesterday?" Xu Zhengyang didn't even look and directly turned off the video.
Such a change in attitude was simply laughable! Xu Zhengyang immediately issued an order to Da Bai, saying, "Just like yesterday, as long as the trailer dares to come in, let him come and go without return!"
"Understood, Master," Da Bai replied.
After returning to the survivor camp, Zhou Xin used a clever way to shift the blame for his mistakes. He then assured Zhao Xinglong, the head of the external affairs department, that as long as he was given seven large trailers, he would definitely bring back that tank and six armored vehicles today!
Although the New Baicheng survivor camp inherited the legacy of the East Suburb Military Base, losing a tank and six armored vehicles at once still pained Zhao Xinglong's heart! After much deliberation, Zhao Xinglong ultimately decided to give Zhou Xin another chance to redeem himself and waved his hand to allocate him seven large trailers.
Zhou Xin had just shouted at the wall for over an hour with a loudspeaker. When he saw that no one responded even after his voice was hoarse, he muttered to himself, "So, did they agree or not?"
...
As noon approached, Zhou Xin didn't dare to waste any more time. He took out the intercom and said to the people behind him, "Bring in a trailer first to take back the nearest armored vehicle!"
Zhou Xin wasn't foolish. He noticed that no one in the shelter was responding to him, so he decided to let one trailer in first to test the waters.
However, just as the trailer approached four kilometers from the shelter, a white light flashed.
The engine of the large trailer that had just entered was pierced by a beam from the light tower, and it immediately stalled on the spot.
"…"
Zhou Xin was silent for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Bastard…"
At this point, Zhou Xin felt helpless because Xu Zhengyang simply couldn't be bothered to deal with him, leaving him with a deep sense of powerlessness...
Since reconciliation was impossible, Zhou Xin didn't want to linger any longer. Without saying a word, he immediately turned around and took the remaining trailers back the way he came...
*After a busy half day, Xu Zhengyang traveled through seven cities and cleared seven bloody meat carpets. Only then did he collect enough refrigeration equipment to expand his shelter's warehouse.
Upon returning to the shelter, Xu Zhengyang flew above and saw that the tanks and armored vehicles near the shelter had disappeared. He immediately asked Da Bai, "Where are those armored vehicles?"
"I don't know how to explain it, Master. You might as well see for yourself..."
Da Bai said, sending a sped-up surveillance video to Xu Zhengyang's contact lenses:
In the video, Zhou Xin left Xu Zhengyang's shelter with a dejected expression, and the survivors who had settled near Xu Zhengyang's shelter slowly approached the vehicles. They had been collecting various scrap metals from the city to exchange for survival supplies from Xu Zhengyang.
Because of this, seeing so many "scrap metals" in front of them stirred their thoughts.
After a moment, someone took the lead, and suddenly people rushed over with hammers and wrenches, starting to dismantle the parts from the vehicles! With someone leading, everyone else quickly joined in!
Thus, with the collective effort of the survivors, in just two hours, one tank, one large trailer, and six armored vehicles were completely dismantled!
"This…"
Xu Zhengyang was left dumbfounded after watching the video.
