With a gene seed in hand, Feng Jun finally relaxed. There were still some remnants of the Interceptor's flesh wriggling on the ground. After collecting a few samples, Feng Jun threw a Corpse Suppression Smoke Bomb there. It wouldn't be long before these chunks of flesh would be corrupted into black sludge.
The battle ended just like that. Feng Jun and Li Lu ascended to a high ground, from where they could see the entire Harbor and the port area on land. It was already four in the afternoon, and the Doomsday's weather had already darkened. However, it was rare to see a sunset glow today; the red sunlight illuminated the green radiation clouds, and a few rays of sunlight penetrated the radiation clouds, shining directly on Feng Jun and Li Lu.
Feng Jun took off his helmet and casually tossed it aside. His Power Armor was already quite tattered. Li Lu's Power Armor was in better condition because she joined the battle later. At this moment, Li Lu also took off her helmet, and the sunlight shone directly on her face. From Feng Jun's perspective, she looked like a battle angel in this Doomsday.
Rays of sunlight shone on the sea. The once mighty and majestic warships and ships in the Harbor now lay silently moored in the bay, like a group of silent behemoths that had lost their former vitality and purpose under the judgment of the apocalypse. The waves gently lapped against the hulls, making dull sounds. The once bustling docks now only had empty cranes and dilapidated containers, witnessing the vicissitudes of this world. There was a sense of desolation, but those faint rays of sunlight piercing through the clouds seemed to hint that there was still a glimmer of hope in this world.
"Thanks to you just now, today was a perfect ending," Feng Jun said, taking Li Lu's hand. Although they hadn't taken off their Power Armor yet, the feelings between them were self-evident.
"You always try to be strong. You don't need to push yourself so hard in front of me. You've already proven yourself. If it weren't for you last time, I might have been killed by an Ape-man," Li Lu brushed her hair back, her beautiful eyes fixed on Feng Jun, with a hint of reproach in her gaze.
"Haha~" Feng Jun laughed a couple of times, giving a casual chuckle. Then he found another topic and started chatting.
Hu Kun laboriously opened the N1 Tank's hatch and poked his head out. He almost got stuck trying to get out, seemingly due to his stomach. Recently, he had been indulging in various canned meats and white liquor, so it seemed he needed to lose weight. Seeing Feng Jun and Li Lu standing in the distance, Hu Kun knew they wanted to have a private conversation. Hu Kun was very perceptive and didn't go to disturb them. He and his soldiers began clearing the remaining scattered zombies in the Harbor area. Song Zhan had also received the news and was dispatching more troops to the Harbor for takeover.
If calculated from the beginning of the Doomsday, since the world government disbanded and left, Feng Jun should be the first person in Shangqing City to reclaim an area from zombies. As for places outside Shangqing City, perhaps someone was doing it, or perhaps no one had ever done it. Thus, Feng Jun successfully reclaimed this Harbor, and White Egret two Type continuously brought in reinforced soldiers. They began building walls on the outskirts of the Harbor and clearing the remaining zombies within the buildings.
De Chao also brought a group of scavengers here. He had now fully joined Longmen Town and was responsible for recycling various raw materials needed by Longmen Town, and this Harbor was the best place for him to play his role.
The former government had stockpiled a large number of abandoned warships and ships here, originally intending to dismantle and recycle the materials from them to solve the shortage of E-type alloys. Therefore, all kinds of cutting and recycling equipment were available here. Although some were old and in disrepair, they only needed slight repairs. The warehouses near the Harbor also stored various supplies, and they even found an entire warehouse of pre-Doomsday military canned goods. Feng Jun tasted them; the pre-Doomsday flavor was quite ordinary and no different from the beef jerky he brought, but it could temporarily alleviate the food demand.
After acquiring the resources within the Harbor, the robot manufacturing factory solved a large part of the raw material problem. The robot production line also started operating at full capacity, basically producing about 50 units a day, which was unavoidable. This was because there were only two production lines obtained from the Museum's warehouse, and they also needed to be modified while producing.
Finally, the robot's appearance was not extensively modified, but its size was slightly reduced, with its height controlled at 1.9 meters. Its weight was temporarily controlled at around 800 pounds. The warrior armor, which was originally directly installed on the body, was designed to be modular, making maintenance and production more convenient.
After configuring all the armor and equipment, it looked incredibly imposing. Ling Jiu and Gu Yunyun also specially redesigned the operating program for the robots, ensuring that the robots would completely lock up after being disconnected from Ling Jiu's control. And their electromagnetic pulse resistance was also enhanced because De Chao led people to dismantle many electromagnetic pulse resistant graphene protective coatings from abandoned warships. Although they were old, they were still usable. The effect of wrapping them around important components was surprisingly good.
As for the robot's name, Feng Jun decided to call them 'soldiers' after some deliberation. After all, this model of robot had just begun mass production, and at first, they would only be used for filling lines or as support troops.
Besides this matter, there was another thing that surprised Feng Jun. When De Chao led a group of people to explore the warships in the Harbor, they accidentally disturbed a mutated crab. This crab should be the same one as the giant crab caught by the Interceptor; it was missing a large left pincer and had claw marks left by the Interceptor on its shell. It seemed that after encountering the Interceptor, it discarded a pincer to save its life, indicating that their conflict was not the first time.
This crab was very large and killed two unlucky scavengers as soon as it moved. However, it was a coincidence that the N1 Tank had been parked on the shore of the Harbor because there were no parts for its overhaul. This crab had only rampaged for a dozen minutes before Hu Kun, who had rushed over, killed it with the N1 Tank's electromagnetic cannon, and a gene seed was found inside the crab's body.
Feng Jun looked at the yellow gene seed in front of him and fell into contemplation. Although highly evolved animals were also called Mutants, this was his first time obtaining a gene seed from a Mutant other than a zombie, although he had sensed it during his first visit to the Harbor. At that time, the Interceptor had captured a mutated eel from the sea, and that eel also had a gene seed inside, but it was later eaten by the Interceptor, and a second one was not found in the Interceptor's corpse. It seemed that it had been digested by the Interceptor. Combined with the Interceptor's terrifying strength and its performance in the second stage of mutation during the battle, Feng Jun believed that the evolution of Mutants also had a great relationship with gene seeds.
