Zhao Yu and his 20 men was given a rifle and a handgun.

Each gun was also equipped with a spare magazine, which would last for quite a while.

“Centurion Zhao, we plan to send ten people from our side to accompany you. Will that be a problem?”

“If they come along, we can t necessarily guarantee their safety.”

Zhao Yu replied with a hint of concern.

Gao Shun leaned in closer, whispering, “No matter what danger we face, we only ask that you ensure at least one person returns safely.”

“Just one person?!”

Zhao Yu exclaimed in surprise.

“It’s the old man with glasses. He’s an expert in electricity. We need him back.”

An expert? Then why not fix the generator themselves?

Zhao Yu shook his head, not wanting to get involved in their internal affair and agreed.

“Of course, it would be best to bring everyone back.” Gao Shun quickly added, worried that Zhao Yu might misunderstand his intentions.

“No problem, leave it to us.”

There were 21 men on his side and 10 from the shelter. The two teams merged, and under the watchful eyes of the remaining people, they left the shelter.

Among the 10 from the shelter, two were Liu Yuan and Wang Shuai, who had previously met Zhao Yu.

“Centurion Zhao, we’ll be relying on you to protect us on this journey.” Liu Yuan approached with a flattering smile.

Recalling her past claims about her father being one of the administrators who was overthrown, he understood that her days in the shelter might have been tough. Now, she seemed to have faced reality and adopted a more humble attitude.

“Don’t worry, we ll ensure your safety.” Zhao Yu nodded and said.

Though the two teams were moving together, Zhao Yu’s and his men marched in uniform order, while the people from the shelter scattered and followed alongside.

As they reached a three-way intersection and had just turned the corner, Zhao Yu suddenly shouted, “Attention, everyone! Stand at ease!”

Shuai

20 soldiers with guns on their backs stood still.

The other ten were startled and instantly raised their weapons.

“Rest on the spot, have a meal!”

“Sit!”

All 20 soldiers promptly sat down in unison, and began eating in an orderly fashion.

The group of ten beside them finally exhaled in relief, having feared the soldiers might turn against them.

“Centurion Zhao, what’s happening?” Liu Yuan mustered the courage to ask.

“My men just completed another task and haven’t had time to rest yet.” Zhao Yu explained with a smile,

“Don’t worry, we just need a ten-minute break.”

“Alright, alright, we can use some rest too.”

Liu Yuan quickly returned to her group to relay Zhao Yu’s message, and the rest also settled down on the ground.

“Sir, would you like to try some of this?”

One of them approached the nearest soldier and offered some food.

However, the soldier ignored him, meticulously eating his own meal.

The man was left embarrassed.

Zhao Yu approached and took the food from him. “Don’t mind it, our troops have protocols.”

“Understood, understood!”

Following this incident, the group felt even more reassured. Zhao Yu’s unit appeared to be strong, indicating that their safety was more assured.

After everyone was well-rested, Zhao Yu finally gave the order to move out, dispatching the fourth team to scout ahead.

Walking amidst his troops, Zhao Yu was elated.

Not only had he managed to snag a free meal, but also an arsenal of weapons and ammunition at no cost.

Most importantly, the updated daily mission coincided with their current commission. The destination was the electronics factory they were headed for.

However, the mission s difficulty had increased.

The system seems to assign his task based on the strength of him along with his forces.

The daily mission this time required him on the extermination of all the mutants in the factory.

The reward was also enhanced, increasing to 50 technology points.

Zhao Yu was also intent on fulfilling the trade agreement with the fallout shelter. After all, there were still two tons of food to be had, enough to feed his troops for a long while and even support more soldiers.

Half an hour later, gunfire resonated from ahead.

“All units, be on alert!”

At Zhao Yu’s command, 15 soldiers quickly split into three teams, into their combat formations.

The ten individuals from the shelter wisely retreated to the back of the formation, anxiously watching the unfolding events.

After a short while, the gunshots ceased, and a soldier returned to report the situation.

Apparently, a few wandering mutants had been detected up ahead and had been completely wiped out by the fourth team.

“Continue moving forward!”

The group came upon the exterminated mutants. There were five corpses in total, each with a fatal gunshot wound to rhe head.

Zhao Yu was very satisfied. Indeed, soldiers armed with guns had exponentially more firepower.

Unlike previous, there is no such risk to sacrifice one soldier for eliminating one mutant. Thinking about it. He pitied the first soldier, who was eliminated shortly after deployment.

The rest of the journey was surprisingly smooth, which left those from the shelter feeling a bit idle.

Whenever danger arose, there was no need for the three teams in the rear. Just the scouting team up front could handle it.

Finally, around midnight, the group arrived at the perimeter of the photovoltaic electronics factory.

The area was riddled with wandering mutants. Luckily, there were no signs of mutated beasts..
