Zheng Yifan walked slowly down the street, truly alone now. An Xiaolu had promised to return to the Guard Camp with the others, while Zheng Yifan was embarking on his own journey. A sudden shock gripped him, and he began to feel increasingly anxious.
The more he knew, the less at ease he felt. This was the center of Deep City, teeming with Zombies, and there were rumors of colossal beasts over five meters tall that could not be resisted by ordinary means.
Zheng Yifan was genuinely curious to see what these creatures were like.
However, it was only when he truly moved forward that he realized the real trouble lay in the endless Ordinary Zombies. The Avatar of the Believers had reappeared, clearing the streets of Zombies. Zheng Yifan's strength remained at a critical point, unable to improve.
As he moved forward slowly, he noticed that the level of Zombies was rising significantly. Third-Stage Zombies had become commonplace. Perhaps it was due to their proximity to the coast, but the Zombies had undergone tremendous changes; at the very least, they could now fight in water. These aquatic Zombies were sluggish on land, unable to fully unleash their attack power. What reassured Zheng Yifan even more was that their movement and attack speeds were not fast; even Third-Stage Zombies were comparable to First-Level Zombies.
The main reason for this was their adaptation to water combat. Their appearances had begun to resemble fish, with numerous fin-like appendages sprouting from their legs.
Because of this, Zheng Yifan could truly engage them in battle rather than flee.
With an increase in Third-Stage Zombies, Fourth-Stage Zombies naturally emerged as well. These aggressive, fast-moving, and strong-attacking Zombies transformed into sea monsters that could spit out red water arrows with a strong adhesive force, resembling oil.
If marine creatures had their airways blocked by oil, they would die; perhaps this principle explained the presence of these monsters among the Zombies.
Their combat power in the sea was formidable. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to thrive in an ocean filled with nearly endless monsters.
The battles consisted solely of monotonous slashing and summoning. A large number of Avatars of the Believers gradually became the main force in clearing these Zombies. After about two hours, Zheng Yifan finally arrived near the laboratory.
It appeared to be a very ordinary laboratory. He did not see any Zombies inside for now; it was strange that there were no Zombies nearby at all. Only a vast laboratory complex remained. Laboratories were rare in this city now. Outside this laboratory were numerous Solar Photovoltaic Panels—evidence of their experimental achievements and new materials being tested before the apocalypse struck.
The door was tightly locked, just like before the apocalypse. If it weren't for the blood on the ground, the fragments of bones, and the thick layer of dust, Zheng Yifan would have truly believed he had arrived outside a laboratory in a post-apocalyptic world.
What was once a place to gaze at from a distance and then quietly leave had now become something Zheng Yifan could look down upon. He owned a laboratory himself, and there were many scientists working there.
However, the laboratory before him gave Zheng Yifan an odd feeling.
He couldn't shake the sense that zombies could actually evolve. For instance, zombies by the sea might turn into sea monsters. With so many solar photovoltaic panels here, even though this wasn't an arid area and they were only testing material properties, he wondered if the energy within could produce even stranger zombies.
Zheng Yifan didn't know, but even if it was a den of dragons and tigers, he had to take a look.
He slowly approached the door, gazing at the ordinary entrance. Inside the guard room, a zombie was trapped and struggling incessantly.
It had been two years, yet it still hadn't managed to break free, its body continuously slamming against the walls and glass.
Fortunately, it seemed that the front door's glass was bulletproof, effectively preventing any zombies from breaking out.
With a gentle leap, he crossed over the door and walked beside the guard room, carefully twisting open the door.
"Roar!" The frantic roar seemed to release two years' worth of pent-up rage. For two years, other zombies had either feasted or perished; only this one remained trapped inside, seemingly unable to escape until Zheng Yifan arrived to set it free.
"Just an ordinary first-level zombie. What kind of commotion do you expect to cause?" Zheng Yifan smiled lightly. With a flick of his right hand, he sent a small stone flying—a piece he had attracted with vital energy. It was light in weight but transformed into a terrifying weapon in Zheng Yifan's hand. With a gentle flick, the stone pierced through the zombie's neck across from him, precisely dislodging its Zombie Crystal.
There were no obstacles; it was that simple—something others might never achieve in their lifetime.
"Good baby! You should return to dust!" Zheng Yifan said with a mischievous smile as he watched the Zombie slowly collapse to the ground, its eyes gradually turning towards the massive laboratory.
It was indeed a sight to behold, for unlike ordinary residences, a laboratory could not be contained within a single building. It required additional facilities nearby, and even factories to produce a certain amount of equipment.
Zheng Yifan strolled leisurely outside the laboratory. His first task was to clean up those factories, ensuring that all supporting equipment was in order. The materials needed for manufacturing Solar Photovoltaic Panels were not many, but the specialized equipment could likely only be produced here. Since experiments were necessary, relying solely on orders was not feasible; there had to be core equipment that was manufactured in-house.
Naturally, Zheng Yifan claimed those items without hesitation.
When he arrived at the factory, he was completely stunned. These were the machines he had once dreamed of but had never seen in reality—an entire set of fully automatic processing equipment, including a Fully Automatic Machining Center and a Fully Automated Circuit Board Production Factory.
There was even a Clean Room. However, when Zheng Yifan arrived, it was no longer dust-free.
Workers? Not a single one. There were no Zombies either; just empty factories where Scientists could come at any time to produce. The number of operators was fewer than five. When the apocalypse struck, there likely wasn't much that needed manufacturing, leaving the workshop deserted. As Zheng Yifan stood there, he felt 10% curiosity and 1000% possessiveness towards everything around him. He wanted to take all this equipment with him. While it might only be usable in the real world, he could find professionals from the apocalypse to operate the machines. All he needed to do was input the programs and provide raw materials; the machines could automatically produce the desired parts.
Such fully automated manufacturing equipment allowed for one-time clamping and one-time forming, turning dreams into reality while minimizing errors to their limits. (To be continued.)
