Looking at the massive flesh-and-blood mothership, Xu Zhengyang's pupils shrank in shock, unable to help but exclaim, "What kind of monster is this...?"
"Master, that's not all!"
Da Bai said, projecting a series of surveillance videos onto Xu Zhengyang's contact lenses.
These surveillance videos were from coastal areas.
In the videos, one after another, monsters infected by the Blood Plague Virus, their bodies a deep crimson, surged to the surface, flooding onto the land like a tide!
Seeing all this, Xu Zhengyang felt a chill run down his spine! It was at this moment that he realized, murmuring, "So the origin of the Blood Plague Virus...
It was hiding in the deep sea, gathering strength?"
No wonder! No wonder the sporadic appearances of the Blood Plague Virus on land were easily extinguished.
It wasn't that the Blood Plague was too weak.
It was that the origin of the Blood Plague simply didn't care about the minor losses on land! The location of White City was deep within Huaguo, and those monsters would need time to invade.
Before that.
Xu Zhengyang needed to prepare in advance, so he asked Da Bai, "What's the situation outside White City?"
"Not optimistic."
Da Bai replied succinctly, then sent the surveillance feed from outside White City to Xu Zhengyang's contact lenses.
In the surveillance view.
The once empty streets had suddenly become "lively" again after a long time!
Although the surveillance view had no audio.
Just by watching the survivors fleeing in all directions, Xu Zhengyang could imagine their despair.
"…"
Xu Zhengyang fell silent for a moment, then asked Da Bai, "What about the shelter that was built in advance outside White City? How is it inside?"
"Very bad."
Da Bai said, switching the feed to show the situation at the eastern suburbs shelter.
Strong fortresses are often breached from within, and the eastern suburbs shelter was no exception.
A few days ago.
A ticket to the eastern suburbs shelter was worth its weight in gold! Those who could get in were either wealthy elites or top talents from various fields.
But now.
The solid gates and towering concrete walls of the eastern suburbs shelter had instead severed their last chance of survival! "Tsk..."
After seeing this, Xu Zhengyang felt neither sad nor happy, and immediately told Da Bai, "Increase the construction speed of the Light Prism Tower! Then arrange four general-purpose robots to operate heavy machine guns on the watchtower, and run the rail laser cannon at full power.
Once any danger approaches the shelter, whether human or zombie, shoot to kill! We must ensure the absolute safety of the shelter!"
"Understood, Master."
Da Bai agreed, then faithfully executed all of Xu Zhengyang's commands.
At that moment.
Xu Zhengyang glanced at his task list again, confirming that as long as he centered the shelter and controlled an area with a diameter of ten kilometers, the task would be considered complete.
Suddenly, a new idea popped into Xu Zhengyang's mind...
A diameter of ten kilometers means a radius of five kilometers.
Logically speaking.
With the current firepower of his shelter, this task should have been completed as soon as it was issued.
Since it wasn't completed...
Did that mean the old factories around the shelter that hadn't been demolished were blocking his line of fire, providing potential enemies with enough strategic depth? Thinking of this.
Xu Zhengyang immediately went to the ground, then directly piloted the Hurricane Light Multi-Function Mecha into combat mode! Following that.
The Hurricane Light Multi-Function Mecha's left and right hands each deployed energy blades, wildly attacking the dilapidated factories near the shelter! Those factories were originally thirty years old and in disrepair.
Xu Zhengyang only needed to use the energy blades to sever the load-bearing structures, and with a kick, he could bring them down!
With such efficiency.
Xu Zhengyang took only an hour to completely reduce all the dilapidated factories within a five-kilometer radius of the shelter to ruins! After doing all this.
Sure enough!
A series of system notifications immediately appeared before Xu Zhengyang: [Main Task: Expansion (Completed)]
[Reward: Knowledge Card - Military Modification]
…
[Knowledge Card - Military Modification]
[Effect: After use, you can modify various common daily items into lethal weapons!]
The appearance of knowledge cards and skill cards is almost identical, with only slight differences in color.
After receiving the knowledge card, Xu Zhengyang did not hesitate and immediately chose to use it! Following that.
A flood of information surged into Xu Zhengyang's mind: how to make powerful shells from gas canisters;
how to create bombs and landmines from simple materials...
A plethora of information.
Many seemingly insignificant items in daily life, when combined in specific ways, could unleash unimaginable power!
"Just what I need!"
After digesting the newly acquired knowledge, Xu Zhengyang nodded in satisfaction.
Then he quickly opened the task list to check the latest main task:
[Main Task: Rubber (In Progress)]
[Rubber is a high-elastic polymer material, widely used for various purposes.
In the apocalypse.
You need sufficient rubber reserves to ensure the healthy development of your shelter!]
[Task Objective: Build a rubber farm in the shelter
(Requirement: The rubber farm must be no less than 1500 square meters; the annual rubber production must not be less than 3000 tons)]
[Task Reward: Secondary Agility Awakening Serum]
Seeing the newly appeared main task, Xu Zhengyang felt helpless.
Before the apocalypse, he encountered tasks that were easier to complete after the apocalypse.
Now that the apocalypse had arrived.
He was facing tasks that were easier to complete before the apocalypse...
This back and forth.
Wasn't the apocalypse a waste of time? That said.
The necessary tasks still had to be done.
So Xu Zhengyang first used the Thought Cube plugin to allocate 1500 square meters of space in the agricultural area, then said to Da Bai, "Da Bai, partition off that 1500 square meters in the agricultural area.
At the same time, install a soilless cultivation system inside!"
Natural rubber can be obtained through two main sources: rubber trees and rubber grass.
Rubber grass is a perennial herb that generally reaches maturity in three months, growing up to 7-24 centimeters.
The roots of rubber grass contain 2.89-27.89% natural rubber and 25-40% inulin.
The rubber extracted from it is structurally and functionally very similar to the natural rubber extracted from Brazilian rubber trees! Thanks to the short growth cycle of rubber grass and its minimal land requirements, it is an ideal alternative resource for natural rubber! Xu Zhengyang's agricultural area has a height of five meters.
After installing the soilless cultivation system, the planting density of rubber grass can reach an astonishing area!
Such a large planting area can fully meet the task requirements! What Xu Zhengyang needed to do now.
Was to quickly find enough rubber grass seeds before the rubber grass farm in the agricultural area was completed!
