"Congratulations to the player for successfully reaching the destination before the deadline. The specific rankings will be announced at midnight on the eighth day."
"Next, you will have access to obtain items in this world as a reward for arriving early."
"This car parking spot will also become your safe house in this world, isolated from all sight, smell and harm. Please use it wisely."
"Also, please return to the safe house before the leaderboard is published, otherwise your results will be invalidated and you will be disqualified."
After the car drove completely inside, the light screen popped up, and Shen Muyu was stunned when he saw these notifications.
"Does 'open access to items' mean I can collect all sorts of things, from food and drinks to airplanes and cannons?" Shen Muyu exclaimed incredulously. If that were true, she would be rolling in money!
It's only the fifth night, but two days is enough time for her to empty out a city, provided she doesn't encounter any too strong competitors.
Even if there is, there's no need to worry too much. As long as she doesn't stray too far, she'll have plenty of time to react and return to the safe house. At most, she'll just be forced to abandon the things that guy is in.
Inside the safe house, she was practically invincible, since zombies rarely relied on sight to find living people; most of the time, they relied on the so-called human scent.
Once they lose this aura, they become almost blind, and then they will slowly dissipate by habit.
Moreover, it doesn't matter if they follow us in; all their attacks will be blocked, and we'll slowly wear them down.
Not only that, after this mission ended, the brick didn't disappear like before, but remained, and it even showed a map of the surrounding area.
Looking at the dense network of transportation and large shopping malls above, Shen Muyu shed tears of longing.
"Awesome!" Shen Muyu clenched his fist and waved it, but he didn't actually rush into the city like a fool.
Although this is just a suburb, the nighttime setting and unfamiliarity with the surroundings make it far too dangerous for her. There's no need to lose sight of the bigger picture. Tomorrow will be plenty of time, and with Zhan Yi and Xiao A's cooperation, getting those things into her possession won't be difficult.
It was already past nine o'clock. Shen Muyu stretched and returned to the dimensional space.
After eating a quick bite, I went to sleep. I was already exhausted from expending so much mental energy today, and I had to get up early tomorrow, so I naturally needed to recover my energy as soon as possible.
Shen Muyu woke up naturally around 6 a.m. the next day. Because he had been specifically instructed the night before, Wei Yi had prepared breakfast early. After drinking a few sips of warm porridge, he grabbed a few fried dough sticks and went back to the car.
"Let's go," Shen Muyu said to Xiao A as he stuffed the food, while also releasing his mental energy as needed.
The detection range of Little A is a big problem, so for safety reasons, we can only waste some of our superpowers and keep it running.
However, having a sufficient supply of energy fluids isn't a major problem; the main challenge is dealing with mental fatigue.
Shen Muyu planned to drive back and take a nap when he couldn't take it anymore, and then go out again after he recovered. Although it would take some time, it would be safer.
With the help of a map and their mental guidance, Shen Muyu and his group swarmed through the land like locusts, leaving nothing but devastation.
However, there are limitations. If the volume of the object to be collected exceeds the capacity of the backpack slots, the collection will fail.
Moreover, there are almost no shops left in the suburbs, so the majority of the money was contributed by the wealthy people in the villa area.
Whether it's antique jewelry or pots and pans, collect everything that catches your eye.
Unlike before, this time there was no sense of urgency to rush. Shen Muyu could leisurely survey the surrounding environment before choosing a good route and method to launch the attack.
However, once you actually enter the city, this leisurely pace diminishes considerably.
Perhaps due to the timing of the zombie outbreak, there weren't many zombies in the mall. Although almost all of them were high-level zombies with some intelligence lurking inside, it wasn't too difficult for Shen Muyu and Zhan Yi to slowly clear out these individualistic creatures with their cooperation.
The most difficult part of the process was cleaning up the surrounding residential area.
After such a long period of evolution, windows and iron doors can no longer keep out the zombies inside.
They almost all gathered in shady areas like stairwells, and even if Shen Muyu and her group just passed by on the main road next to them, it would trigger a small zombie horde.
There were already many cars blocking the road, and the zombie hordes rushing in from all directions were really a headache.
Fortunately, the backpack could be used to retrieve the car, otherwise Shen Muyu would have been stuck in place and worn out.
This situation was almost unavoidable, so Shen Muyu could only choose a slightly easier route with fewer people to pass through.
This slowed things down considerably, and by the end of the morning, they had only managed to clear out one large shopping mall and a few small commercial areas.
They walked and stopped, going back and forth several times, until the dimensional space was filled with things.
As it was getting dark, Shen Muyu stopped collecting the items and waited in the safe zone before opening the boxes.
High risk means high reward. On this day alone, we encountered three gold resource boxes, seven silver ones, and more than twenty wooden resource boxes.
Not only that, but after killing several high-level zombies, a platinum-level box also dropped.
Putting everything else aside, the architectural blueprint in that platinum resource box solved Shen Muyu's immediate problem.
Materials: 1000 wood blocks, 50 iron blocks, 50 space particles, 3 yellow, green, or gold gems.
In addition, a blueprint for a shelf was also found in the gold resource box.
Materials: To be determined based on requirements.
Shen Muyu took the two blueprints directly back to the dimensional space.
...
"Uh, it is a bit messy." Shen Muyu's mouth twitched as he looked at the small mountains of goods piled up in front of him and the rows of shelves.
Because of limited backpack space, Zhan Yi usually stuffs a batch of items into his backpack as soon as he collects them, and at this point, the pile was almost reaching the black soil behind him.
Previously, Shen Muyu had been thinking of building several small wooden houses to make use of the space underneath, but now that he had the warehouse blueprints, things became much easier.
First, he used spatial particles to expand two hectares to the west, and then Shen Muyu built a warehouse on the newly appeared open space.
Since these buildings can be moved at any time, Shen Muyu didn't plan ahead for now and decided to wait until they were all built.
A square building, larger than a garage but smaller than a cabin, appeared on the spot. Except for a wooden door at the front that could be fully pushed open, it was completely sealed.
The wooden door was sliding, and it took Shen Muyu some effort to push it open completely. It was large enough that two trucks could easily drive in side by side.
"Hmm, it's worth the price." After Shen Muyu walked in, an enormous space appeared in front of him, probably about a hectare in size.
What's strange is that even though it's completely enclosed and has electric lights inside, there's still enough natural light inside to make it clear, as if it's spontaneously emanating from inside the warehouse.
"Weiyi, here's the blueprint. Hurry up and sort out the items outside and bring them in." After looking around, Shen Muyu handed the blueprint for the shelving to Weiyi and also allocated some basic resources such as iron blocks and wooden blocks to it.
Weiyi has a car core, so moving these supplies is not difficult. The challenge lies in sorting and organizing them, but with so many robots working together, the speed should be much faster.
"Wei Yi understands." Wei Yi nodded and immediately went to notify the other robots. They were like a well-trained team, doing exactly what they were told, and soon they started their work in an orderly manner.
