Chapter 286: Training Camp
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Zhao Yu discovered that todayâs daily task refresh point was actually at the location of the mother-daughter refuge he had passed by earlier.
âCould it be that they didnât go looking for Meng Xianâs protection?11
Whether they went to find her or not didnât really matter as the decision was up to them. What made Zhao Yu hesitate was whether he should take on this task.
Setting out from the base to that location would take over six hours. Half a day would be gone for round trip.
If I donât do the task, 1â11 have to wait until the day after tomorrowâŠâ
After all, not only did the training camp require tech points for exchange, but subsequent Munitions Factory, Tank Factory, and many more buildings in rhe future also needed tech points to unlock.
He checked his ammunition, seven bullets remained that should suffice.
Zhao Yu emptied his backpack and only took water and dry food sufficient for a day. After double check and decided his route, he set off once again.
As soon as he walked out of the factory gate, a mutant from a distance spotted him and charged straight towards him.
Zhao Yu draw out his pistol, yet after a while he turned around and ran away.
With limited bullets, he decided it was best not to waste it other than critical situation.
Six hours of travelâŠ
Zhao Yu returned to the refuge he had passed by few days ago.
From a distance, he indeed saw a mutant guarding the entrance.
As for the mutant he had killed a few days ago, there was no trace left of its corpse. It had probably been eaten by wild animals.
After observing for a while and not spotting any other mutants, Zhao Yu cautiously approached.
âRoar-!â
The mutant charged towards Zhao Yu.
Zhao Yu pull the trigger when the distance between them closed to three or four meters.
âBang-!â With a loud noise, rhe mutant fell to the ground.
[Daily task completed, reward of 30 tech points received.]
Zhao Yu walked around the mutantâs corpse to the refugeâs manhole cover and knocked gently, asking, âIs anyone inside?!â1
A faint voice came from below.
âIs it the uncle from before?!â
Zhao Yu recognizing the voice of the little girl. âItâs me. 1 saw a mutant guarding this place, but Iâve taken care of it.â
âClick-!â
The manhole cover opened, and the little girl crawled out.
âWhereâs your mother?!â
Zhao Yu curiously asked why was she alone.
âSheâs at Meng House VillageâŠâ
âUncle, do you have any food?â
âYes!â
Zhao Yu took out the food and handed it to her.
The girl gobbled it down hungrily.
âWhy are you here if your mother is at Meng House Village?â
After she had eaten enough to satisfy her hunger, Zhao Yu asked again.
âI sneaked out myselfâŠâ
The girl replied somberly, â1 wanted to come back and wait for my fatherâŠâ
So willful!
Zhao Yu shook his head. Considering her young age, he didnât reprimand her but instead inquired about the situation at Meng House Village.
âOver a hundred people have gathered there. Under the leadership of Master Meng, everything is orderlyâŠâ
âOver a hundred people?!â When he left, there were only about ten people. How had so many gathered in such a short time?
âIt seems many of them came from the previous Meng House Village. Some others are survivors from nearby.â
âUncle, can you take me to the previous gathering place?â
âHuh?!â
âBefore my father disappeared, he said that he went to the colony to exchange for something, but he never came back after he that. 1 want to go there and take a lookâŠâ
Zhao Yu was about to refuse but another notification sounded in his mind.
[Urgent mission: Escort Nan Nan to the colony. Mission reward: 3a Technology Points.]
There was actually a mission?
Zhao Yu hadnât expected that charting with others would lead to an urgent task.
âI have nothing else to offer as a reward, only myself. If you can escort me there, Iâll give you my first timeâŠâ
âHuh?!â
Zhao Yu was looking ar her in astonishment. He hadnât expected her to say such a thing.
âWhat nonsense are you talking about? Youâre just a kid and youâŠâ
âIâm not a kid. Iâm 15 this yearâŠâ Nan Nan interrupted Zhao Yu, puffing out her chest as she spoke.
âDo you think Iâm a beast?!â Zhao Yu shook his head.
âGiven how filial you are, 1â11 escort you there, no reward necessary.â
âThank you, uncle!â
The joy on her face, Zhao Yu couldnât help but warned her, âIn rhe future, you shouldnât trust or make any promise to others so easilyâŠâ
She was lucky ro have met him. Had it been someone else, who knowsâŠ
After a brief rest, the two set off.
About half an hour, a group of people hurriedly arrived.
âNan Nan!â
âNan Nan!â
A woman in her thirties arrived at the refuge and immediately began calling out anxiously.
âWait, Iâll go down with you!â
Just as rhe woman was about to descend, another woman accompanying her and went into the refuge first.
The others stood guard on the surface.
âThis mutant here seems to have been killed recentlyâŠâ
âIt was definitely killed today. Otherwise, an overnight corpse wouldnât be this intactâŠ.â
