Chapter 290 - 290: Soldiers (2)

Zhao Yu was a little embarrassed. He subconsciously looked left and right and coughed.” No one saw it anyway…”

When he entered the room, he saw a mountain of bedsheets and quilt covers.

“This should be enough!”

Zhao Yu didn’t mind that the bedsheets were covered in dust. He only stopped after filling half of the bag.

Zhao Yu went into a few more guest rooms and found that there was a copper ornament in each room, which he put into his backpack.

With his backpack was almost full, Zhao Yu left with waning interest.

Following the dusty map on the wall, he found the hotel restaurant. He searched in the dark for a few knives that he could use. He wrapped them with a cloth and fastened them to his waist.

When he returned to the backyard, before he could think of a way to leave, a mutant was trying to break the gate.

“Damn it!”

Zhao Yu realized that he had been exposed and suddenly thought of something. He put down his backpack, took out a piece of bedsheet, twisted it into a rope, and came to the main door.

“Whoosh!”

Just as he expected, when he was near the door, the mutant’s tail poked out to strike him.

Zhao Yu raised his knife and chopped off the front end of the tail. Then, he reached out and grabbed the remaining part of the tail. He used the rope to wrap around the iron door a few times.

Clang! Clang!

The mutant kept flailing, baring its teeth and drooling.

Zhao Yu heard other mutants approaching here too. He quickly picked up his backpack, climbed up the wall, and jumped into the alley.

“Bang -!” “Bang ~!” “Bang ~!”

The sound of hitting on the iron door became louder and louder. Zhao Yu leaned against the wall and slowly came to the entrance of the alley.

As expected, all the mutants that were wandering on the street were attracted by the sound and went to the back door of the hotel.

Zhao Yu quickly went out, crossed the road, and ran in the direction of the gold shop.

When he was crossing the road, he bumped into a mutant that had saw him and rushed over.

“Dong ~!” Zhao Yu reacted fast. He immediately charged forward with a kitchen knife.

Before the mutant’s claw hit him, Zhao Yu already seperated its head and body with one full swing. Its muscles hung on its chest, and it moved forward two steps before falling to the ground.

“Bah!”

Zhao Yu spat out a mouthful of blood that had just splattered on his face. He looked down and saw that the blood was green in color and sticky like glue.

He couldn’t care less about his sorry state. He picked up his backpack and ran again.

Zhao Yu had gone through another half of the street. When he passed a food city, four or five mutants walked out from the corner.

Both sides stared at each others.

Zhao Yu instinctively reached for the handgun at his waist, wondering if he had enough bullets left to take down this group of mutants.

Soon, he realized that the mutants in front of him continuing in the direction they had been going without attacking him.

“How is this possible?”

“The scent?!”

Zhao Yu realized that the mutants seemed to have lost their ability to judge through eyesight. The only way they could discern friend from foe was through smell.

Perhaps, both hearing and vision were merely triggers, capable of attracting them. However, the decision to attack or not was solely based on scent.

At this moment, Zhao Yu was covered in the green blood sprayed by the previous mutant, effectively masking his natural scent.

So that’s how it is…

Zhao Yu had a feeling that he had gained a deeper understanding of the mutants.

A smile spread across his face. After waiting for the group of mutants to move further away, he resumed his journey and smoothly reached his destination – the gold store.

Upon entering, his heart sank.

All the glass counters were shattered, and the gold and silver jewelry that was once displayed had disappeared.

Zhao Yu made a round of the store but found nothing.

“Damn it, what a wasted trip…”

He noticed a room at the back of the store and pushed the door open.

On the floor lay a highly decomposed corpse, its bones visible, and covered in maggots.

Instead of being repulsed, Zhao Yu’s eyes suddenly notice something else.

On those skeletal fingers, there were glints of gold. Ten fingers adorned with ten golden rings, and around the neck, three golden necklaces.

Next to the corpse, an opaque black bag was open.

He quickly approached it and revealing a hint of gold shimmering from within.

The bag was filled with gold and silver jewelry.

“Could it be that this person robbed the entire store and then got trapped here?!”

Zhao Yu was unsure of how the man had died since the door he had entered through seemed unlocked.

He glanced at the door and saw signs of tampering; the lock had been damaged.

This indicated that scavengers had been here before, but they seemed to have ignored the gold.

“No major groups are collecting gold nearby. For ordinary scavengers, this stuff is just like junk that nobody would buy…”

Perhaps, right after the apocalypse began, some people collected gold, and others traded food for gold. But as time went on, survivors found themselves with heaps of gold that couldn’t even be traded for a morsel of food. It became worthless.

Zhao Yu didn’t want to delve into the story of the deceased. He picked up the black opaque bag and felt its weight, estimating it to be at least two or three jin (catty).

After some thought, he removed the gold ornaments from the bones and put them in the bag.

“That should be enough…”

Zhao Yu recounted his spoils. Apart from the 72 kilograms of flesh needed to create a conscript, he had enough of other materials like cloth, gold, silver, and copper. In fact, he had more than required.

Back on the main street, the mutants that had been drawn to the hotel backyard were wandering aimlessly again.

Upon spotting Zhao Yu, they walked a few steps towards him sniffing his scent.

Seeing a clear path ahead, he couldn’t resist and started running.

His movement seemed to set off a chain reaction, with all the mutants chasing after him.

“Thrilling!”

Zhao Yu grinned mischievously and dashed away, leading a group of mutants out of town.

Just as he was about to lose them, an idea struck him. He slowed down, allowing them to catch up a bit before speeding up again.

After a few rounds of this game, only seven or eight mutants were still chasing him.

As he was almost back at the base, Zhao Yu sprinted and lost the mutants in minutes.

After returning to the base, he threw all his gains into the empty recycling furnace at the side of the training camp.

[Obtained 233 grams of gold]

[Obtained 881 grams of silver]

[Obtained 3122 grams of copper]

[Obtained 4238 grams of cloth]

“That’s enough. Flash is all 1 need now!”

Zhao Yu left the base again. As soon as he left, he saw two mutants that were lost.

“Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!”

Four gunshots were fired, and the last few bullets were used up, successfully obtaining two corpses.

Zhao Yu quickly stepped forward and grabbed one of the mutant’s legs with each hand. He dragged the two mutants’ bodies and quickly retreated into the base.

Before he entered the factory, he looked into the distance and saw another mutant that had heard the noise was charging towards here.

[Obtained 146 kg of flesh]

Fortunately, the flesh of the two mutants met the requirements.

At this point, all the materials needed to exchange for soldiers were gathered.

Zhao Yu chose to exchange for it immediately.

[Do you wish to spend 2 Technology Points, 144 kg of flesh, 2 kg of cloth, 20 grams of gold, 200 grams of silver, and 1000 grams of copper to train two soldiers?!]

“Yes, sir!”

Following the sound of a machine turning, the countdown to the mobilization training appeared on the control panel.

[Conscript in training (0/2), remaining time: 00:09:59]

“Ten minutes…”

Zhao Yu looked at the time and then at the surveillance camera. Outside the door, there were three or four mutants were wandering around.

Five minutes passed, and the training camp’s interior resounded with a “Ka ~ !”A soldier in military uniform who looked no different from a human walked out.

“Soldier 001 is ready ..Report to the commander!”
