Zhou Chen soon sensed that the three insects had left the range of his Bloodthirst perception. He did not chase after them and returned to the pickup truck.

“Fortunately, I moved the battle to another place. Otherwise, my previous work would have been wasted.”

Seeing that the pickup he had used to store supplies was safe and sound, Zhou Chen was a little glad about his response.

He got into the driver’s seat and drove the pickup to the east. 𝗳𝒓𝚎e𝚠𝒆𝐛𝐧𝐨v𝚎Ɩ.co𝓶

Along the way, he encountered a relatively intact jeep parked by the street. He went over and moved the gasoline from the jeep’s fuel tank into a barrel and placed it in his pickup.

This was naturally for the probable migration plan. Only with enough fuel could he go wherever he wanted.

The journey back was relatively peaceful. The insect monsters did not appear before Zhou Chen. A few small insects did fly near him, but they did not charge over like before.

“These insects might have some intelligence, or they might have a leader.” Zhou Chen guessed.

It was difficult not to make this association. These insects had attacked him like a swarm of bees before, but now they had learned their lesson. Most of them deliberately avoided him, and a small number of them who happened to encounter him were no longer acting like idiots.

“If they attack me again, they will probably do so with elite insects. I have to avoid them or quickly strengthen myself.”

Zhou Chen was still upset about the battle just now. He realized his lack of strength. Although he was not defeated by the siege of the three large elite insects, he could not quickly kill them. Even the iron fist he was proud of felt like it was only doing slight damage when it hit their bodies.

Time passed slowly. Zhou Chen drove the pickup back to the place where he had parted ways with Lucy.

From a few hundred meters away, he saw Lucy standing beside the jeep and waiting for him.

“Captain, you’re back!” After a while, Zhou Chen stopped beside the jeep, attracting Lucy’s cheers.

“I’ll add some fuel to the jeep. Then, you can drive this pickup back first.” Zhou Chen smiled and nodded at Lucy. Then, he got out of the pickup and put the gasoline into the valve of the jeep.

He then showed Lucy a box of batteries and said, “Lucy, you can use these batteries, right?”

Zhou Chen did not know what requirements Lucy had for the batteries, so he collected all the batteries he saw.

Lucy took the box of batteries from Zhou Chen and looked at it. Her large and beautiful eyes immediately lit up. “Thank you, Captain! I’m not picky about food. This is enough to support me for at least three months!”

“That’s good. Drive this pickup truck back first. I’ll return immediately after filling up the jeep.” Zhou Chen moved the box of batteries back to the pickup and closed the valve of the jeep before putting the empty oil barrel in the trunk.

“Alright, Captain! You have to come back early!” Lucy was as loyal to Zhou Chen as ever. She immediately entered the driver’s seat of the pickup and left.

Zhou Chen also entered the jeep. The keys to the jeep were still there. He turned it on and drove it back to the city.

The insects in the city did not come to trouble Zhou Chen even after he changed the vehicle, allowing him to fill the jeep with supplies.

After about ten minutes, Zhou Chen drove the jeep back to the city gathering area that had been abandoned.

He saw the pickup truck parked in an empty area. Hilda’s sister was squatting beside the pickup and eating canned fruit happily. When she saw him look over, she immediately hid on the other side of the pickup. The mutant old man and the abandoned old woman were busy sweeping away the trash on the ground.

Zhou Chen nodded inwardly when he saw this scene. He then sensed that Hilda was in a building more than ten meters away. He immediately got off the jeep and walked over.

After entering the open door of this house, Zhou Chen saw that Lucy was also here. She and Hilda were tidying up this house. One was moving the furniture, while the other was gathering the various trash in the corner.

“Captain, you’re back! This house was specially prepared for you!” At this moment, Lucy said to Zhou Chen as she moved a large cabinet.

“Hmm, not bad…”

Zhou Chen nodded at Lucy and quickly scanned the room again. Although the house was dilapidated like other buildings, it was one of the better ones.

He continued, “There are many rooms here. Everyone can live here.”

“Li, you’re the leader of this camp. It’s better if you have a house for yourself.” Hilda, who was cleaning, looked up at Zhou Chen and smiled.

“No need.” Zhou Chen shook his head slightly. “Everyone should live here. This will not only reduce the cleaning work, but we will be able to look after each other.”

He really did not want to get any special treatment.

The few of them chatted as they cleaned the house.

The sweeping work outside was basically over. Even Hilda’s little sister was already full from eating the canned fruit.

The few of them held a small meeting. They decided to stay here for the time being, but the others did not agree with Zhou Chen’s suggestion that everyone should stay in the same house. Instead, after some discussion, it was decided that Zhou Chen and Lucy would stay in the cleaned house. Moreover, the supplies would be stored here as well. Hilda and her sister would live in a nearby small house. The old man would stay in a house a little further away, and the old woman decided to stay in her previous house.

Zhou Chen had nothing to say. If they wanted to spend more effort to clear two other houses, so be it. He had more important things to do than care about this.

Like this, the shelter took shape. Their food came from the nearby cities, and their water came from the well in the middle of this city which was further purified by the water purifiers brought by Zhou Chen. He even brought back a small generator that could provide electricity after the electrical system in the camp was repaired.

‘I guess we can stay here for the time being. Anyway, I’m here, and I think those insects won’t come looking for me for a while. If they really come, we will escape.’

Zhou Chen had originally wanted to find another place to establish a shelter, but he did not want to waste time running around. Therefore, he temporarily decided to establish a shelter here and enter a cultivation life as soon as possible..
