Lin Yi felt quite good, his bruises hardly hurt anymore, and the scar on his face was not as frightening. Yet, Chen Youyou was still extra cautious and gentle... That day, they harvested 64 tons of potatoes and 25 tons of vegetables. As the population of the Shelter had increased several times over, Lin Yi planned to add twenty large potato fields and six vegetable fields. At the same time, they expanded the variety of crops by planting cucumbers, tomatoes, pumpkins, and some leafy greens. This upgrade cost over 15,000 Coins, leaving the Shelter with a balance of 135,000 Coins. While marking out the new fields, he also doubled the size of the rabbit cages. As for his chickens, he left it to the little loli and Annie to figure out. Lin Yi returned to his laptop, "Melanie, what’s the situation right now?" "Boss, some zombies appeared and ate the corpses of mutated cats, and it’s been quiet since then." "...But my motorcycle! That’s already the third one I’ve lost..." Lin Yi cursed as he saw the remains of his motorcycle on the screen. He was thinking, next time, maybe he should just ride a tank! Back to the outskirts of Paris, on the highway. Former rider Lin Yi once again summoned a light blue—electric scooter and headed towards Thierry Castle Town. It was quite a small town, so riding the scooter at a speed of ten kilometers per hour, it only took him five minutes to slowly pass through it. While going through the town, he noticed it was hardly looted. Only a few former townsfolk, barely recognizable, and no other visible threats. That counted as good news! Lin Yi swept the town clean, then continued until he encountered a dozen mutated cats on the other side of the bridge. Considering his previous experiences, Lin Yi immediately returned to the Shelter, and of course, he brought along his new ride. He angrily shouted into the wireless intercom, "Solomon! Gather the soldiers. We’re going to take revenge on those furry cats!" In the Shelter, forty of the best archers stood in front of him, half of them were Beastmen, all equipped with level 1 or 2 System Armor. Lin Yi recalled those mutated cats were faster and more cunning than any mutant zombie. Some even directly attacked the throat. Therefore, he loudly instructed. "If necessary, Beastmen can engage in melee combat, but don’t let those furballs get too close, a slight mistake and you’ll end up as corpses! Understood?" "Understood, boss!" the soldiers answered in unison. About twenty minutes later. Lin Yi teleported to the town and ran to the bridge. He summoned the soldiers, quickly taking up positions on the bridge. Those without Magic or bows were equipped with submachine guns. This was a rather big bridge, about 300 meters long, they needed to make a lot of noise to lure the cats over, but then... After a few gunshots. Solomon shouted, "Boss, they’re looking at us but not coming to attack!" "I see... These creatures are too smart to be fooled. Let’s slowly advance along the bridge!" The squad began to move forward... But the cats retreated instead... Solomon felt both puzzled and amazed by these mutated creatures’ behavior, "What should we do, boss?" "It seems elite troops are our only option!" Lin Yi was quite displeased. These mutated cats specifically targeted the weak and feared powerful opponents. They were incredibly fast, and currently, only he could catch up with them, and the squad did not have weapons to hit them from a distance. But that didn’t mean he would give up on avenging the motorcycle; he’d let them wait while he cleared the military base first. Then, he’d settle the score with them properly! "Piero, Squirt, Gautier, you stay behind, the rest of you take a five-minute break, wait for my call!" Lin Yi waved his hand, and his favorite military jeep appeared, then he waved again, and except for the three soldiers, the others vanished. At this moment, the distant mutated cats began to stir after seeing fewer enemies, readying themselves for some cat food. "Get in the car!" Lin Yi shouted, stepping on the gas. The three soldiers exchanged glances and quickly jumped into the car before the jeep took off, speeding away. The military jeep rampaged along, knocking dozens of charging mutated cats into the air. Lin Yi glared at the creatures, "I’ll be back later to beat you all to a pulp!" The way out of town was relatively safe, and those mutated cats retreated after chasing the jeep for a few miles. Meanwhile, Lin Yi studied the map, contemplating the route ahead. In Provan Town, there was a military base ready for him to loot. But the roads there crisscrossed like a spider’s web, with hundreds in total. In a straight line, Provan was about thirty kilometers away, driving there would cover at least forty kilometers, plus he had to pass through one last town. The last town was anything but peaceful. Debris scattered everywhere along the way suggested a large number of walking dead. Lin Yi decided to take full advantage of the opportunity, mobilizing his newly trained Professionals to continue their training from the previous day. Along the way, the new recruits developed the habit of looting anything not nailed down, even items that were nailed down but could be dismantled, bringing them back to the Shelter. The boss’s greed spread through the soldiers like a virus in the air, reaching every one of their lungs. This training session took four hours, but everyone at least leveled up to level 3. During this trip, they killed over 900 zombies and obtained nine white Reward Eggs. It was almost lunchtime, so Lin Yi drove the jeep alone, completing the rest of the journey. As he approached the town, he saw a large group of zombies moving southward from the town. This group of zombies numbered at least 9000, nearly equivalent to the town’s population. Lin Yi did not drive into the town. Usually, after the apocalypse, survivors first gathered at military bases, so there would definitely be a large number of zombies there. Hence, he decided to plan before taking action... In the Shelter, everyone prepared to eat lunch. Lin Yi drank tea while gnawing on bread. "Sylvie, how is the progress?" "So far, I’ve only made four long spears, it’s very magic-intensive... As for throwing spears, I’ve made just one, but it’s still level 0." The red-haired girl appeared crestfallen, feeling utterly useless, as if her little request was out of reach. Lin Yi thought for a moment, then suggested, "You can find Gobi, he has Throwing Skills, maybe he can help you! By the way, how is the Armor?" "No progress at all either..." Sylvie put down her knife and fork, losing even her appetite. The Beastman Armor was too big for humans, and the system couldn’t adjust sizes to fit humans, so it was of little reference value. Updates are released by 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭·𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮·𝙣𝙚𝙩 After understanding the situation, Lin Yi burst into laughter. "Sylvie, haven’t you ever played role-playing games before? Or watched medieval movies?" "No, boss... well... before the apocalypse, I was always busy with modeling work..."
