Mechanic endlessly amassing troops in the apocalypse

"What's that noise?"

Li Fei's face darkened, and he hurriedly walked out of the room, only to find Tang Mucheng squatting on the balcony, cautiously looking down.

He walked over and asked, "Mu Cheng, where's Wan'er?"

Tang Mucheng whispered, "She's asleep. We'll take turns keeping watch."

Li Fei nodded slightly in approval and continued, "What's down there?"

"They're night stalkers; they're out and about again."

So this is the Nightcrawler...? Li Fei looked down.

The building was very tall, so the view wasn't very clear, but you could vaguely see groups of pale-skinned things running wildly below, much faster than zombies.

This speed is terrifying... Li Fei frowned involuntarily.

It's not the sheer number of monsters that's scary, but the sheer number and speed of them that's truly frightening.

The scene of locusts swarming through the land was enough to make one's scalp crawl.

"These guys are way more dangerous than zombies... I guess I can't rely on impressions after all."

He had only heard them talk about it during the day, and the daytime was too peaceful. Now, seeing it with his own eyes, Li Fei once again felt the pressure from the apocalypse.

At this stage, we absolutely cannot defeat so many Nightwalkers.

However, upon closer inspection, Li Fei noticed some patterns.

"Were these night stalkers running like this yesterday too?"

Tang Mucheng nodded. "Yes, it's strange. I've observed that they get tired too. Some night stalkers will stop to rest after running for a while, but then they'll start running again, just like..."

"It's like they're looking for something," Li Fei added.

"That's right," Tang Mucheng agreed, "Their purpose is very clear. They don't stay in one place for too long. They stand for a while and then leave, as if they are looking for something."

"However, they are not very strong, not much bigger than zombies, and they can't break into many houses. They are also not smart, so the place where the survivors live, although they pass by it often, has not been discovered yet."

Li Fei's eyes swept over the small house where the new survivors lived, his gaze probing. "It seems these people still have secrets they haven't told us."

Thinking this, a sharp pain shot through his head. 'No, I've used up too much psionic energy.'

With the increasing demand for machinery, it seems necessary to build our own automated production line.

Li Fei rubbed his temples. He still had to continue making the mechanical cat tomorrow, so he stopped checking on the situation downstairs. "Mu Cheng, I'm going to rest now. I'll have to trouble you to keep watch."

"It's okay, Fei-ge, go to sleep." Tang Mucheng nodded obediently.

Back in his room, it was too noisy outside, and he hadn't yet gotten used to sleeping in a dangerous environment. Although the freshly washed blankets were very comfortable, he still teleported back to Cangnan Star.

Repair shop, early morning.

Li Fei glanced at his phone; there were no notifications.

This means there are no missions today, and he can peacefully make weapons in the apocalypse.

They directly activated the teleportation array and arrived at the bedroom in the apocalypse.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw a steaming hot breakfast on the table.

The two little girls are eating rice noodles.

Upon seeing Li Fei, Su Wan'er immediately greeted him, "Brother Fei, do you want to eat? I thought you would sleep in."

Li Fei smiled and said, "Make me a bowl, and call me when it's ready."

After saying that, he returned to his studio to continue making the mechanical cat.

Time flies, and before you know it, another day has passed.

With Li Fei working tirelessly, all four mechanical cats were finally completed.

Only after finishing did he get a good night's sleep.

I slept until noon the next day before waking up.

Ring ring, ring ring.

Repair shop.

Li Fei rubbed his sleepy eyes and held up the smartwatch.

Caller ID: Chen Zhe

"Finally, a mission!" He snapped to attention upon seeing the caller ID.

Li Fei still remembered that mission rewards could be exchanged for advanced professional knowledge.

I've been really looking forward to the first mission.

He jumped up and answered the phone.

"Hey, Zhe-ge."

"Ah Fei, we have a mission today. The sheriff specifically asked you to come with him."

"Huh?" Li Fei exclaimed in surprise, "Why?"

You'll find out soon enough.

"Okay, shall I go to the police station now?"

"No need, it's a secret mission. I'll come pick you up. Is your home near that repair shop outside the city?"

……

Li Fei hung up the phone, puzzled, and got dressed.

First, go to the apocalypse to inform the two women that you won't be back for a while and to tell them to take care of themselves.

Although they also found it strange that Fei Ge seemed to have lost contact as soon as he entered the room, they all tacitly refrained from asking any questions.

After giving his instructions, he returned to Azure Star.

Before long, the sound of a car beeping came from the doorway.

Li Fei slung his backpack over his shoulder; inside were only a raven and a mechanical cat.

All the other mechanical cats were placed at the teleportation array anchor point in the apocalypse, awaiting orders.

open the door.

Then I saw a bread truck parked at the door.

Infantry vehicles from Guangdong and Guangxi?

This famous phrase from his previous life inexplicably popped into Li Fei's head.

The car window slowly rolled down.

Meng Nan was in the passenger seat, and Deputy Sergeant Horikawa Takeshi was driving.

At this moment, the car door opened, and to Li Fei's surprise, there was actually a whole carriage full of people besides Chen Zhe.

Meng Nan waved his hand and laughed, "What are you waiting for? Get in the car."

Li Fei got into the car in a daze. Chen Zhe was sitting next to him, and the rest were all temporary workers he didn't recognize.

In other words, he was the only newcomer this time. He recalled what Chen Zhe had said before and became even more puzzled.

At this moment, Horikawa Takeshi, who was driving in front, said, "Tetsu-kun, why don't you tell Li Fei what's going on?"

Chen Zhe nodded, looking at Li Fei's bewildered expression, and said with a smile, "Don't panic, we're not going to get into a brawl."

Li Fei was speechless... Of course I know it wasn't a group fight.

"So what are you doing? Do you usually use this when you're on missions?"

The panel cart had no air conditioning, and the windows couldn't be closed properly, so gusts of cold air kept pouring in.

Chen Zhe explained, "It's a secret mission, so we can't just drive by in a police car all the time."

"Then why am I the only newcomer?"

"Do you remember the tip you gave the sheriff?"

Li Fei nodded. "Is it about the fuel depot casino? Didn't the sheriff say we can't touch the Sand Wolf Gang right now?"

Meng Nan interjected, "It's not that we can't move, it's that we can't move for the time being. As soon as the order came down, the sheriff started planning the operation and specifically told us to take you with us."

Li Fei suddenly realized that Sheriff Lawrence wasn't the type to suffer a loss; he was actually waiting for authorization from above.

This is much safer; not having to face the Sand Wolf Gang alone is naturally the best thing.

"I see. So, how exactly do we plan to proceed this time?" Li Fei continued to ask.

Horikawa Takeshi said, "I'll make the arrangements when we get there."

Upon hearing this, Li Fei didn't ask any further questions, but instead chatted casually with Chen Zhe beside him, "Brother Zhe, will we get points for this mission?"

Chen Zhe nodded and said, "Of course, because you provided the clues, so the sheriff said that your points account for one-third of the team's total. However, the final score depends on the final results."

Li Fei nodded excitedly; as long as he had points, he would be motivated.

After getting to know everyone on the bus, Li Fei didn't remember many of their names. In the end, he only remembered their nicknames: Scarface, the cybernetic mechanic; Fat Tiger, the martial artist; Cobra, the gun-wielding mechanic; and Bald Martial Artist.

The bread truck came to a stop shortly afterward.

Horikawa Takeshi got out of the car and said in a low voice, "Get out of the car, get ready to work!"
