And although this particular blueprint was only of exquisite quality, it was still somewhat useful.

[Medium Fish Pond Blueprint: Blue, a blueprint for a beautiful fish pond that can provide the host with a fish pond of 50 square meters.]

A while ago, his even small Fish pond was without fish, and he was still wondering whether to raise fish or something.

After all, the territory now had meat, eggs, vegetables, and everything else.

Only fruits and various fish were still unavailable to the Shelter.

Now that the blueprint appeared, it just reminded him that he could try to get some fish from outside and bring them back to the Shelter if he had the chance.

It’s worth mentioning that vegetable seeds and the like can be easily obtained in the trading market.

But for live creatures like fish fry, trying to get them from the market is 100% impossible.

Because live creatures can’t even be put into a backpack.

So for this kind of thing, he might have to specifically look for water sources outside and see if he can get lucky and find some fish to bring back.

Speaking of which, with zombies rampant now, it might be a bit late to look for live creatures. He wondered if the zombie virus would contaminate the water sources.

If he really wanted to raise fish, he would have to pick up the pace.

But before that, he had to organize the supplies in these boxes first.

While he was dazed just now, that silly girl Anjali had opened all the other twenty or thirty boxes.

As expected, most of the items in these boxes were worthless junk.

Some things were even barely enough to serve as crafting materials.

He sighed, noting that these ordinary zombies, though their combat power was inferior to normal wild animals.

They ran slowly, and their strength was just passable, but their dropped items were equally disappointing.

He glanced at the time; it was probably two o’clock in the afternoon.

Taking advantage of the fact that the natural disaster had not yet begun, he decided to go out again with his family to collect supplies.

Time was short; if he didn’t collect enough supplies before the natural disaster started again, he would truly suffer later.

The purpose of this outing was also very clear: first, to see if they could find various normal creatures.

The food reserves in the Shelter looked quite abundant, but just eating away at them was not a solution; there had to be some replenishment.

The best-case scenario would be to directly capture some normal creatures and raise them in the Shelter, like this goat and hen.

He could even build a special livestock farm for this purpose, and he wouldn’t have to painstakingly search for food everywhere.

Second was to search for the new resources shown in the previous photos.

He felt that these new resources should be very important.

If these resources, unlike ruins, didn’t have a time limit on their existence, then they would almost certainly be something all Survivors would be determined to obtain.

Whoever discovered them first would be able to claim the resources within.

The key point was that, according to the analysis of previous photos, these new resources were highly likely to have been transferred from Earth.

If that were the case, and what was transferred to the Wasteland World wasn’t a pile of ruins, but rather a steel mill or an office building or something similar, then the Shelters occupying these resource points would instantly become prosperous.

Vikram keenly sensed that the appearance of these new resources might not be so simple, which was why he wanted to search for them.

Finally, he wanted to try and find various exposed water sources in the Wasteland World and figure out a way to bring some fish back to the territory.

This was much clearer and was also to add diversity to the territory’s supplies.

Having made up their minds, the four took their necessary equipment and walked out of the territory, and he also brought the Phantom Druid and Light Mage Druid with him.

He didn’t want to bring other Druids, since he also wanted to train the three girls, although they were strong, still they needed some training.

The sky was still not good; the entire sky was hazy, and even the sunlight could barely penetrate.

This made him worry about another matter.

That was, this black fog might affect the function of his solar panel.

Except for his territory, Territory 2 most of the electricity came from solar panels. If this were affected, he would have to find new energy sources later.

"Geothermal power generation?"

"Wind power generation?"

He shook his head, feeling that with the start of the new disaster, his troubles had increased significantly.

Fortunately, at least now he was no longer alone; focusing on building the territory, he wouldn’t neglect eating and sleeping.

The four got inside of the RV, one after the other. Following them behind were Phantom Druid and Light Mage Druid.

He didn’t use the Universal Vehicle, even knowing that sitting on it, he will get a free massage on his back, which would be incredibly delightful.

However, as good as the motorcycle was, three people sitting together was a bit cramped. So they are six now.

Currently, only RVs are good.

After all, although the motorcycle he was on was an off-road type, its body was so small that you couldn’t expect it to be very comfortable while driving.

When encountering a slightly larger obstacle, sometimes people would even fly off.

This was even with a system-produced motorcycle, which had strong shock absorption.

If it were some other generic motorcycle, people would have flown off long ago.

Having a proper four-seater off-road vehicle was extremely important at this stage.

In a time when zombies were rampant, riding such a "meat-wrapped-iron" mount might lead to being scratched by a zombie on the road someday.

However, these considerations could wait until they returned to the territory; for now, he was watching the biological detector while driving.

The green flashing dots in the detector were much more numerous than before, which was not a good thing; it only proved that there were more and more zombies in the Wasteland World now.

This made his hope of bringing normal creatures back to the Shelter even more distant.

But in these past few days, he had also summarized an experience.

Most of these zombies were in groups; it was rare to see a lone zombie wandering around.

He didn’t know why exactly, but following this method, specifically looking for solitary flashing dots in the detector, the probability of finding a creature increased significantly.

Sure enough, a lone creature appeared ahead.

He immediately twisted the throttle and headed towards its location.

Just three minutes later, the creature’s back appeared before the three of them.

"Is that... a brown bear?" Divya identified the figure ahead at a glance.

The good news was that this lone creature was indeed not a zombie, but it was a brown bear.

Vikram immediately dismissed this idea.

He would only be crazy to choose to bring such a dangerous carnivorous animal back to the territory.

However, this thing wasn’t entirely useless; at least they could harvest some meat from it to replenish their food stock.

However, he soon realized he had rejoiced too early. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Because the brown bear seemed to have noticed their movement, it turned its head, stood up, and faced them.

After it stood upright, its already massive body, by their estimation, reached at least 2.6 meters.

This wasn’t the main point; what truly made him frown was its appearance after it turned around.

Rotten eyeballs, shedding fur all over its body, plus its mouth full of black blood.

This was clearly a Zombie Bear.

Only then did they notice a pile of rotten flesh behind it; it was indeed a zombie that had been mostly gnawed on by the bear.

"Hiss!" The four of them gasped simultaneously.

It had always been zombies eating other animals; this was the first time they had seen a zombie being eaten by another creature.

Judging from the bear’s body, there were no visible wounds, which meant it must have turned into a zombie after consuming infected zombie flesh.

"Previously, I was just scratched by a blue-purple grade Mutated Zombie, and today I encountered a creature of this grade."

"This is definitely not a coincidence; the creature grades in the Wasteland World are gradually increasing," Divya’s analysis came from behind.

Vikram, however, couldn’t care less about the analysis right now. The moment the Zombie Bear spotted them, it charged forward without any hesitation, its massive body shaking the ground with every step.

"Phanty, kill it," He ordered calmly.

Hearing the command, the Phantom Druid instantly emerged from the RV, its shadowy form flickering as it prepared to engage the massive threat.
