Chapter 300: Trading with the Sanctuaryl(4)

Alright, lets move. My men will lead the way. You all follow behind and be careful. Keep an eye on our back! Zhao Yu nodded and said.

The daily mission indicated it was not completed, which meant that there were still mutants inside the electronics factory.

Thank you for your concern, Centurion Zhao

Liu Yuan spoke on behalf of the group and moved to the back of the line.

Zhao Yu felt regretful at the mountains of mutant bodies.

There were close to 180 to 200 mutants here. It would be great if they could be transported back.

Unfortunately, the distance between the two locations was too great. It would take more than six hours to walk, making it impractical.

AOoooof!

A howl echoed from a distance.

In no time, a large pack of wolves arrived at the scene, voraciously feeding on the mutant corpses.

Inside the electronics factory, the old man whom Gao Shun had entrusted to Zhao Yu pulled out a map of the factory. After studying it for a while, he approached Zhao Yu and advised about the direction, Leader, we should go this way!

Zhao Yu immediately instructed his men to halt and followed the direction pointed out by the old man.

Soon, the group arrived at a vast open s.p.a.ce, which appeared to be filled with objects resembling solar panels.

Zhao Yu observed that there were hundreds, if not thousands, of solar panels on this land. Each one was at least one to two square meters in size.

Leader, were going to bring this thing back

Isnt this used for solar power?!

The shelters power generation isnt sufficient. The managers idea is to lay some solar panels on the ground near the shelter for electricity

Zhao Yu paused for a moment and curiously asked, So, youre not staying locked in anymore?

Yes! The manager has decided to set up another camp on the surface, allowing some people to live above ground

If an unstoppable danger arises, its never too late to retreat back to the shelter

Zhao Yu nodded without asking further. Following the old mans guidance, he a.s.signed about ten soldiers to begin dismantling the panels with the others.

In a short time, they managed to dismantle nearly twenty large solar panels.

Thats enough, we cant carry any more!

After a glance at the number, the old man quickly called for a stop. Centurion Zhao, next, well need your help to transport them

With only ten of them, and including the old man, transporting twenty large solar panels would be impossible.

What we agreed upon before didnt include helping you transport these Zhao Yu squinted his eyes and said.

The old man scratched his head, I cant make decisions regarding the deal. How about I teach you how to use these solar panels for power generation?

After some thought, Zhao Yu agreed. After all, there were still two tons of food in the shelter, and there was no point in making things difficult for the old man.

Knowledge to reuse the solar panels for power might allow them to dismantle and sell them to other factions in the future.

Zhao Yu wished he could immediately construct a vehicle factory. By then, theyd have transportation!

Lets not rush to leave. Ill first eliminate the hidden dangers in this factory!

Teams one, two, and three, spread out and clear out any mutants you see in the factory Zhao Yu ordered.

Team four, come with me!

Huh?!

As Zhao Yu dispatching all the troops, the others were startled and quickly stopped him.

If we dont clear out the mutants now, 1 cant guarantee that none will suddenly jump out and bite someone when were transporting the equipment

Everyone stopped protesting and huddled together, nervously watching their surroundings.

Zhao Yu quickly lead Team Four towards the gathering area.

They had entered the electronics factory from the west gate, which was near the solar panels.

The previous gathering area was on the east side of the factory, near the east gate.

Zhao Yu wanted to see if there were any other supplies left in the gathering area.

After walking with Team Four for about ten minutes and easily defeating a few scattered mutants along the way, Zhao Yu arrived at the original gathering area.

This was a two-story cafeteria converted into a trading point, the only area in the gathering site open to the outside.

Being somewhat familiar with the place, Zhao Yu led his team inside.

After taking a quick look around, Zhao Yu noticed something.

Has it been looted?

The mutants werent interested in the supplies at the gathering site. Thus, when the people from the gathering site fled in panic, they didnt take much with them.

The entire trading point was empty, clearly looted in an organized and systematic manner. Not even a single grain of rice was left.

People from Meng House Village?

Zhao Yu remembered the last time he came here with Nan Nan, The people of Meng House Village also arrived to this place.

Given their strength and ability, they could have come back to scout the area. Once they ascertained that there was no threat from mutants, its not unlikely they would take everything.

With this in mind, Zhao Yu walked out of the cafeteria building and headed outside of the east gate.

As expected, there were tire tracks on the muddy road.

Zhao Yu observed the track closely.

It looks like a small four-wheeled vehicle

It wasnt surprising to Zhao Yu that Meng House Village had both oil and cars. After all, their leader Meng Xian was a tier-three enhancer. In this area, there wasnt a place she couldnt go.

However, what surprised him was that the distance from here to new base of Meng House Village would take at least an hour on foot.

Zhao Yu stood up and followed the tire tracks for a bit. The entire road seemed to have been refurbished.

Some of the potholes had been filled with nearby dirt, making it pa.s.sable for vehicles.

Judging by this, they must have gathered even more people now, right?

In peaceful days, such construction work would have be managed by seven or eight people.

In the apocalypse, ensuring safety while creating a road in harsh conditions was indeed challenging. Without the coordinated efforts of one to two hundred people, it wouldnt be possible to empty this place so quickly.

While contemplating how large Meng House Villages group might have grown, a system notification sound suddenly rang in his mind.
