Sanctuary Town.
Lin Yi picked up the bomb, staring intently at old Louis: "So I just press this button?"
"That's right."
Without another word, Lin Yi teleported to Paris. As soon as he arrived in the real world, he decisively pressed the detonation button.
Then, he fiercely hurled the container filled with explosives towards the corn stalk.
Upon seeing someone appear, the Red Zombies instantly grew agitated, roaring as they closed in on him.
Lin Yi activated the teleport again, disappearing just as the zombies reached out to grab him.
The bomb passed through the window, landing accurately inside the building.
The Red Zombies guarding the corn stalk glanced at it briefly, but after realizing the container was not a living being, they immediately lost interest.
"Beep beep beep—"
The timer hit zero, and the bomb exploded, sending a deafening roar throughout the area.
The explosion's power shattered the five-story building into fragments, kicking up massive dust clouds.
Next, a vortex of high-temperature flames formed, melting the steel into molten iron at a thousand-degree heat, causing the concrete structure to collapse like a sand sculpture.
Lin Yi watched the screen's display, utterly shocked.
"Louis, what is this thing?! Did you make a nuclear bomb or what?"
"Maybe the mix was a bit aggressive…" Amateur demolitionist Louis scratched the back of his head awkwardly.
"What did you put in the bomb?"
Lin Yi was somewhat frightened.
If this thing had exploded prematurely, he might have ended up as a smear on the road.
"I mixed gasoline and biofuel together." Louis carefully avoided Lin Yi's gaze, trying to appear relaxed.
"Which type of biofuel?"
"Uh… the bioreactor processes biological matter into biofuel. I poured out a little for an experiment and found it extremely flammable and explosive!"
Louis bowed his head, looking a bit guilty: "Then I calculated the mixture ratio of gasoline and biofuel to make that..."
"Can you make more?" Lin Yi asked after pondering for a moment, his eyes gleaming.
"Uh… sure!"
"But I need to build you an underground bunker, to prevent the entire town getting blown up in case something goes wrong."
"That couldn't be better…" Louis laughed, instantly cheerful.
Lin Yi sat back at the laptop, starting to examine the situation outside.
He looked at the steel turned into molten iron and asked: "Is it normal for it to melt like that?"
"Of course it's normal." Louis confidently replied.
Lin Yi's eye twitched, continuing to ask: "Is it normal for nearby buildings to turn into sand too?"
"That's right, it's actually a good thing—this way the fire won't spread to the entire block."
"… Makes sense, you're a damn genius!"
"Uh… thanks, boss!"
The fire burned for only an hour, but the blaze was extremely fierce, severely damaging or turning nearby buildings into ruins.
Trees nearby were instantly burned to ashes, asphalt melted into lava...
Given the situation, leaving the Shelter was not an option, so everyone relaxed a bit before lunch.
Soon after, lunch was prepared.
Melanie recorded the explosion of the building and everything around melted and destroyed by the fire.
Everyone watched the video gleefully.
Currently, the Shelter urgently needs furniture, bedding, and household appliances, buying them from stores is unaffordable.
The best solution is scavenging apartment buildings.
Luckily their first stop is Sacred Heart Cathedral, with many apartment buildings to scavenge along the way.
"Solomon, get the team ready after lunch. During the scavenging, grab anything not nailed down."
"Understood, boss."
"Natasha, as the chief urban planner, I want you to plan a bunker for Louis—he'll explain everything to you, any problem?"
"No problem, boss!" The little girl said as she devoured a piece of cured meat sauce.
An hour later.
Melanie spent ten minutes carefully inspecting the surrounding of the explosion area.
Once everything was safe, Lin Yi left the Shelter.
He had no car available, but even if he did, driving in the city was asking for trouble.
Interestingly, after the corn stalk was destroyed, all the Red Zombies in the area went out of control.
Initially, they stood still.
But soon, they started running wild, smashing anything in sight, even fighting amongst each other.
About an hour later, all the Red Zombies fell to the ground, showing no signs of movement.
The pavement remained scorching, the air burned his lungs.
Lin Yi encountered no trouble for the first few kilometers ahead but soon began to encounter small groups of zombies.
He teleported to Solomon, the two quickly fought their way into a nine-story apartment building that seemed relatively intact.
Then they returned to the Shelter, Lin Yi handed Solomon a portable camera.
Solomon took the metal badge, examining it closely and asked: "Boss, what is this?"
"Portable camera, let's give it a try. Melanie, fetch that girl you spotted to operate the camera."
Melanie nodded and ran off.
Four minutes later, Melanie returned with a slender girl who looked about eighteen years old.
"This is Nika." Melanie introduced, pointing at the confident young girl.
Lin Yi nodded and waved.
A notice appeared before the girl.
[You have been assigned a new job]
[Camera Operator]
As a Camera Operator, you will have the right to use the camera application, but you must get the boss's permission before using it.
Nika was slightly puzzled, after reading she laughed.
"I'm Nika, I assure you, I can handle this job." The girl smiled confidently.
Nika was slightly shorter than Melanie, around 1.6 meters, extremely thin due to hunger, but her eyes sparkled with confidence and determination.
"Okay, go sit by the computer. Melanie will explain the basics."
Lin Yi nodded and waved, a laptop appeared beside Melanie's computer.
The computer screen had only the camera program installed, nothing else.
"Now set the computer to work with the portable camera," Lin Yi instructed Nika.
Nika clicked on the "Signal Source" icon, a small menu popped up.
The signal source was shown as: Solomon.
Seeing this, Lin Yi nodded, taking out a box filled with walkie-talkies and headphones.
He handed one set to Nika.
Then, he took Solomon back to the apartment.
"Solomon, Nika will be responsible for monitoring your squad, set half of the walkie-talkies to my channel, and the other half to your channel."
In this way, he could know the warriors' situation and effectively issue commands.
And Solomon could inform Nika of danger and report the situation.
After giving all the orders, Lin Yi and Solomon dispersed, started cleaning up on their own.
After all, there's no such thing as too many Experience Points.
Ten minutes later.
"Boss, I've searched the floors. There's a burly zombie in an apartment on the left of the seventh floor. It's alone, but seems to be evolving."
"Hmm… sounds like a chance to score some loot and easily earn Experience Points!"
Lin Yi chuckled lightly, then charged towards the seventh floor...
