The guards of Meng House village did not say much, just watched Zhao Yu and his troop drove across the gate.

Back at the base, Zhao Yu get an update on the situation first on making sure everything was fine before he took out of their resources.

There were still over two tons of food left in their inventory. With a total of 71 soldiers, and each soldier’s daily ration was approximately 1 to 1.5 kilograms, so the daily consumption was about 100 kilograms of food.

The remaining food reserves were enough to last the soldiers for another 20 days.

In terms of technology points, the rewards from the mission together with the accumulated point in the system. Zhao Yu has a total of 77 points now.

With the help of the vehicles for this mission, they completed it earlier, and there was still some time left before the next mission issued from the system.

Zhao Yu thought it over about the resources gathering. Soon, he decided to further split the group to take turns going out to search for supplies.

The special forces “Tiger” were not dispatched and were responsible for guarding his safety, while the other fifty soldiers were perfectly divided into two groups of twenty-five.

The base’s electricity had not been fully restored. Zhao Yu has to leave the eight off-road vehicles aside as they had turned into useless hulks of metal for the time being.

“We need to restore the photovoltaic power plant’s power supply capabilities as soon as possible…”

Zhao Yu went to the equipment room of the photovoltaic power plant. Although he had the blueprints and guidance was given by the electrician from the previous fallout shelter, he ultimately gave up after several attempts to understand it.

The good news he was able to unlock the combat engineers now

With 77 technology points at hand, Zhao Yu immediately spent 27 points to train nine special forces.

Among them were three “Fierce Tiger”, three “Cheetah”, and three “Dragon”.

Zhao Yu was shocked to find that “Cheetah” was women.

After a brief surprise, Zhao Yu didn’t think much of it and directly formed a squad with the ten special forces as his personal guards.

At this point, he had a total of 80 soldiers under his command, divided into three squads: one was the guard squad with 20 soldiers responsible for guarding the base.

One was the personal guard squad, composed of 10 special forces responsible for Zhao Yu’s personal security.

The other was the combat squad, made up of 10 land infantry and 40 soldiers.

Finally, the combat engineer soldier type was successfully unlocked and the exchange price was as expected, requiring 4 technology points.

This meant that as time went on, the soldier types became more expensive.

Without hesitation, he spent 4 technology points to train an combat engineer.

During the wait, he found that these engineer were indeed powerful and worth the 4 technology points.

They could handle all matters related to engineering.

For instance, with issues like the power generation of the photovoltaic power plant, the engineers could manage it. Other tasks such as bridge-building, factory construction, maintenance, etc., there was nothing they couldn’t do; they were knowledgeable in construction.

The only drawback might be that the engineers were not strong in combat, other than above average body status, they have almost no combat-related skills with them.

However, this was not important. Zhao Yu would not possibly send these precious assets to participate in battles.

“Engineer 001, concerning this photovoltaic power plant, how long will it take to restore power supply?!”

“Reporting to the commander, give me three hours, and 1 guarantee the task will be completed!”

“Good, go do it!”

Zhao Yu specifically reassigned half of his personal guards to protect the engineer soldier.

As his biological clock struck, Zhao Yu also returned to the base to sleep.

This time, he slept well as knowing 81 soldiers under his command and plenty of firearms, ammunition, and food to secure his safety.

By the time he woke up, the power plant was likely to have restored and the teams sent out to scout for supplies brought back a large amount of resources. This time, Zhao Yu would be able to manufacture more vehicles..
