Chapter 282: Black Rock City (4)
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Zhao Yu was in a dilemma that he couldn’t express. Initially, when he demanded things, he was to see if this woman had murderous intentions towards him and if she was planning to betray him after using him.
Based on the results, he chose not to resist, and safely carried her out.
He even thought that he might really receive weapons and food.
But from her conversation with Black Rock City, it became clear that her mission was of utmost importance, and the contents of her backpack were crucial.
Because he wasn’t sure of the importance of the contents, Zhao Yu was worried about staying around and being killed by those coming from Black Rock City.
Rose seemed to understand Zhao Yu’s concerns. After considering for a moment, she tossed her gun to him and also took out several compressed biscuits from her backpack, throwing them to him.
“If you’re too scared to take anything else, at least take these as payment,” she said.
“Aren’t you afraid I’ll kill you?”
Rose chuckled, “Dare you?”
Zhao Yu thanked her and then turned to run.
After escaping for a while and maneuvering through the woods, he heard the sound of helicopter blades from the distance.
Shortly after, three helicopters flew by. It seemed that Black Water City was indeed a powerful entity, and whatever was in Rose’s backpack was indeed valuable.
He leaned against a tree, not daring to move, waiting for the helicopters to pass.
After a few minutes, the helicopters returned the way they came, probably having picked up Rose.
After confirming that all three helicopters were indeed retreating, Zhao Yu finally sighed in relief.
He was afraid that three would come, but only two would leave, leaving one behind to deal with him.
Fortunately, either Black Water City didn’t care about him, or Rose hadn’t shared his details with them.
After waiting a while longer, a loud roar suddenly erupted from the town.
“Mutated beasts?” It was his first time witnessing such rage from the beasts.
What had happened?
He quickly connected the dots – it must have something to do with Rose’s Thorn Squad.
No one dares to challenge the fury of mutated beasts.
Without a second thought, Zhao Yu sprinted at full speed.
What would have been a twenty-minute journey, he covered in just five minutes.
Zhao Yu only relaxed a little when he entered the base. He sat on the ground and began to pant heavily.
It wasn’t until he entered the base that Zhao Yu finally felt a bit at ease. He sat down on the ground, catching his breath.
After resting for a while, he started inspecting the gun. It was a standard pistol, much better than the homemade guns that were circulated in the settlement before.
Moreover, considering its condition, it appeared to be newly manufactured. This indicated that the Black Rock City had a certain industrial system.
There weren’t many bullets, only one magazine, but it was certainly better than a machete.
“It’s a pity that I lost the machete too.” he mused.
Zhao Yu wasn’t too upset. With this gun, he felt more secure. Plus, he had the compressed biscuits. If he ate them sparingly, they should last him a day or two.
Now, besides the compressed biscuits and the pistol, he was only left with his underwear. His body was grimy, especially his feet, which were utterly blackened.
He went to the bathroom to take a shower. He initially wanted to do some exercises, but he decided against it, fearing it would drain too much of his energy.
He could only lie in bed, trying to sleep by counting imaginary sheep while pondering the situation at Black Rock City.
Lost in his thoughts, he eventually drifted off to sleep and woke up the next morning.
The first thing he did was check the status of his technology points. As expected, he had accumulated the 100 points needed for the energy station, with an extra 2 points left over.
Zhao Yu immediately stood up, excitement evident on his face. “Finally, 1 can build the energy station….”
