"Not bad, at least they have some conscience." Looking at the much more spacious area and the airline-style seats that had appeared out of nowhere in front of him, Shen Muyu nodded in satisfaction.
After sitting down, Shen Muyu tested the capabilities of this new type of control tower.
There was a blue button in front of the chair. Shen Muyu pressed it and a joystick and a virtual display screen popped up.
The joystick is used to control the tower to rotate 360 degrees. It's like an upgraded version of the previous round joystick. It's on Shen Muyu's right side, extending from the seat, and its height is perfectly suited to the position of Shen Muyu's hands.
The touchscreen is used to control the turret.
Currently, the turret is equipped with only one 80mm cannon, which is usually folded up, but it can be automatically extended with a simple tap on the screen.
Moreover, since the cannon is placed inside the turret, it does not actually increase the weight of the vehicle, and the recoil is absorbed by the turret itself without affecting the vehicle's operation, which is perfect.
Of course, the rifle that Shen Muyu had previously placed in the control tower was also put up there, but she still had to operate it manually.
Shen Muyu moved the chair behind him and adjusted it according to the height of the rifle, stopping only when he could comfortably hold the gun and fire.
She just transferred control of the turret to Little A, so it can fire the cannon when needed.
"Master, the shells here are stored in a special space, located to your lower right. However, you can also put them directly into your backpack. The system will automatically reload the shells when firing."
Pixel-like character A appeared on the virtual display screen. It had figured out the control tower's system and could now use it independently. (Since we're used to calling it "control tower," this area will still be referred to as "control tower" after the integration.)
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Little A." Shen Muyu turned around and said. Little A has now taken on a series of tasks such as driving, buying and selling supplies, and collecting resource boxes. It can be said to be the busiest little guy in the whole car.
"It's no trouble at all, serving my master!" Pixel-like A raised his hand and saluted.
Shen Muyu smiled and returned the greeting before walking down the tower.
The car had now driven into a mountainous area, but it was all bare except for some dry tree trunks and withered grass, which looked very similar to the wasteland instance from before.
Little A only found two wooden resource boxes along the way. One was buried under the land they had been in before, with only the tip sticking out, and the other was hanging on a tree on the hilltop.
Fortunately, there was a robotic arm; otherwise, Shen Muyu would have had to dig and climb mountains all by himself.
"Little A, haven't you encountered any zombies yet?" Shen Muyu asked, turning his gaze away.
"Yes, Master, we only encountered some animal carcasses on the way, not a single living creature," Little A replied.
"Am I really that lucky?" Shen Muyu was a little puzzled; this didn't seem to fit the organizer's personality.
When Shen Muyu opened the area chat, she realized she was overthinking it. Not only her, but no one else had encountered any so-called zombies either.
"Where are the zombies? I haven't seen any."
"You didn't encounter it either? I thought I was lucky."
"Wuhu, it must be time allotted for the injection."
"What are you injecting? Gene therapy? I haven't even found a single resource box yet."
"I encountered this. I fell into a deep sleep for more than an hour. It was so uncomfortable. In the end, I failed to awaken. I was dumbfounded."
"Same as above, a five percent chance of awakening. You'd have to be incredibly lucky to successfully awaken that."
"It's not exactly lucky to have survived this long."
"Yeah, it's pretty lucky, but still not lucky enough. I just checked the world channel, and a lot of people have already successfully awakened and are showing off."
"World Channel? It's finally open? I'll go check it out."
"It's open, but unfortunately it doesn't show the total number of people. We don't know how many people are still alive on Earth."
"This light screen is no good. What are those bird-like words they're saying? I can't understand a word they're saying!"
"There's a one-click translation option in the bottom right corner. Click it and the translation will appear."
"There are so many of us Chinese! The messages are all written in Chinese characters."
"Haha, yeah, but it's a pity that one person can only post once a day. I see a lot of people looking for each other. If you can find someone by chance with such a fast posting speed, that would be incredibly lucky."
"Haha, I just hit the jackpot! This time, the servers merged and I ended up together with my wife. I wonder if there's a reunion process in the game this time. Maybe we'll be merged together."
"Sigh, it's really disheartening to see more than 10,000 people slowly dwindle to 3,000 or 4,000 every time."
"Hold on! Does anyone have high-quality gene serum? I'll pay a high price for it."
"Same as above, high-price acquisition of gene drugs with a high success rate."
"When getting injected, try to choose the best drugs. A friend of mine died after being injected with a substandard gene-editing drug."
"Yes, my partner just snatched the gene serum and injected it, and then he exploded. Good deeds are rewarded."
"Good people are rewarded."
Is a 50% success rate considered good?
"The probability must be excellent, you're definitely here for Versailles."
"Let's hurry up and find resource boxes. It seems like the drop rate for gene serum is pretty high right now. I reckon the zombies will appear soon, and we'll be injected and passed out without even knowing how we died."
"Luckily, I met up with my friend, so it will be better to take turns getting the injections."
...
"The world channel is open." Shen Muyu swiped through the chat and, finding nothing interesting, immediately switched to the world channel.
As mentioned above, most of them are looking for people, showing off their superpowers, and some idiots are stirring up trouble.
"World Mall?" After seeing the purchase request, Shen Muyu opened the mall and sure enough, a new category appeared.
Shen Muyu searched the resource box and found dozens of buy orders, but the prices offered were not very high.
Seeing this, Shen Muyu quickly put up a list as well. The area's acquisition capacity was limited and had already reached saturation. Now he could take more from the World Mall. Once more people discovered it, the price would definitely go up.
