Still hoarding supplies in the apocalypse? I'll just go on a killing spree and looting!

Lin You closed the door.

The system interface popped up at her fingertips. She tapped the Mechanical Workshop branch and paused on the drone icon.

A drone was lost in the university town today.

Without this, the danger level of searching in the apocalypse is ridiculously high, requiring a large number of cannon fodder to scout ahead.

Take, for example, the cloaked, chameleon-like hunting frog in the university town.

Without drones, the outcome would have been truly uncertain.

Lin You tapped the "drone" icon with her finger.

As the blueprint unfolds, a 3D model of a quadcopter drone floats in the center of the interface. The curvature of each rotor, the specifications of each motor, and the structure of each inch of the fuselage are all clearly outlined with extremely fine blue lines.

The material requirements are listed on the right side of the model: 4 alien tendons, 3 chitinous shells, and 6 basic electronic components.

The tendons and shells are all obtained from the decomposition of those strange beasts, and there is a sufficient stockpile.

Electronic components are recycled from various electromechanical devices, such as spare parts from old radios, computers, televisions, mobile phones, and even any modern electronic products.

She selected the three materials one by one and dragged them into the material slots at the bottom of the model.

The system automatically matched, and the three slots lit up with blue lights in sequence.

She clicked "confirm".

The model began to take shape rapidly, and along with it, a tangled patch of illusory blue light appeared in Lin You's hand.

The tendon fibers are retrieved from the material library and broken down into finer collagen fiber bundles under blue light, which are then wrapped around the rotor base one by one.

The beast's carapace was rearranged and stacked layer by layer to form the skeleton of the machine.

The lines, like vines, spread along the skeleton, and the rotors grew out of the base, each bearing extremely fine biological patterns, which were the textures naturally formed when the tendon fibers solidified.

The fuselage is formed layer by layer from the inside out. It is not the cold light of metal, but the matte white of bones and shells, with a very thin layer of tendon fiber membrane covering the surface.

The progress bar is full.

A brand-new drone appeared in Lin You's hands, its shell still warm from the recasting process.

The drone in front of her was completely different from what Lin You had imagined.

It is no longer a combination of metal, plastic and electronic components.

It is a combination of biology and mechanics.

Lin You looked at the completely transformed drone in her hand, unsure whether it could still be used.

After all, the most important thing about a drone is its internal program code; only when these things exist can a drone operate normally.

Pick up your phone, open the control app, and the drone icon lights up.

The rotors rotated silently, and the fuselage hovered smoothly.

A first-person perspective view popped up on her phone screen, pointing directly at her.

Bald, with no expression on his face.

Lin You swiped her finger across the screen, and the drone turned halfway around and flew away.

Under the blazing sun, countless people are busy at work, while others are slacking off in some hidden corner.

The sentry's figure swayed on the wall, the plastic film of Shunzi's small greenhouse fluttered gently in the wind, and the lake water shimmered.

The whole world seemed to shrink in an instant, and then Lin You saw a strange bird.

Or perhaps it was a crow?

Lin You wasn't sure because she saw the bird hovering in the viewfinder of her drone.

Can birds levitate in the air?

Yes, hummingbirds can hover in the air, but they can also remain motionless in the air like helicopters, and even fly backwards and vertically up and down.

Birds can hover because the lift generated by their wings precisely offsets their own weight.

But what about the crow in front of us? It is a crow, but with its wings spread, it is suspended in the sky, which violates the rules of physics.

The crow seemed to have also noticed the suddenly appearing drone.

This was the first time Lin You had seen the crow clearly through the lens of a drone.

Those eyes didn't look like the kind of eyes that only birds have; they looked like the kind of eyes only intelligent beings have.

It or he is a person, a person with the ability to shapeshift.

In the instant Lin You was stunned...

The crow's wings fluttered slightly, and it quickly disappeared from the drone's view.

This speed... it's not like a superhuman who has just awakened their abilities.

who is it?

The drone hovered rapidly in the sky, but could no longer locate the suspicious figure.

Lin You put the drone back in her palm, picked up her phone and the drone and went downstairs.

In the courtyard, Mu Xue was practicing with her bone shield.

Seeing Lin You come out, Mu Xue looked up at the drone in Lin You's hand, her expression somewhat strange.

"This one looks better than your previous one."

Lin You didn't answer, she just handed her the phone.

Mu Xue took the phone, swiped her finger across the screen, and saw a screenshot of the crow's eyes looking at the drone's camera.

"What...what the hell is this?"

Lin You's complexion wasn't very good; nobody likes to spy on others.

Moreover, such spying cannot be effectively defended against.

How can I tolerate someone else snoring beside my bed!

This guy... we have to find a way to kill him.

However, with Lin You's current strength or influence, it's simply impossible for him to achieve this.

The simplest way is to find a super sniper, or even a sniper with superpowers, and a high-precision, ultra-long-range sniper rifle.

Lin You didn't know this kind of person, nor did she know where to find such a person.

Thinking about this made Lin You feel uneasy.

Mu Xue noticed Lin You's unease and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, let's go now."

Mu Xue was taken aback. "Depart? Where to?"

Lin You paused, a look of confusion appearing in her eyes for the first time. "I need a sniper, a high-precision sniper rifle, or a superhuman with long-range strike capabilities."

Mu Xue was stunned on the spot, unable to understand why Lin You was confused.

How could she possibly know the feeling of helplessness and defeat?

That's a superhuman with shapeshifting abilities at level two or higher. At her current stage, Lin You simply can't resist a sudden attack from such a person.

A second-tier shapeshifter is just Lin You's lowest estimate.

He can instantly appear anywhere in the Linyou base and then use his strength, which far surpasses that of ordinary people, to do whatever he wants.

Even Lin You might not be able to confront him head-on, after all, she only has the physical attributes of an ordinary human.

Their extraordinary combat prowess is also a result of the combat awareness they developed after the apocalypse.

Based on these factors, Lin You really couldn't guarantee that she could defeat a second-tier transformation-type superhuman head-on.

After all, whether the other party wanted to leave or stay was beyond Lin You's control.

At this stage, humanity has just awakened superpowers, most of which are impressive but useless.

To develop true combat power, one needs to advance to the first tier.

As far as Lin You knew, the second-tier ability was for the post-apocalyptic world three years later.

Mu Xue thought for a moment and suggested, "What about the sniper? We don't have anyone in our base who can shoot at extremely long distances, and we don't even have suitable guns. The rifles that Team Leader Song and his team use have an effective range of only four or five hundred meters at most, which isn't enough to hit those kinds of targets."

Lin You rubbed her face. "A sniper rifle... we have an M27 hunting rifle, that should be enough to kill it. But a sniper..."

Yes, there are no snipers.

There are several outstanding shooters at the base. They will start with rifle training, then move on to 200-meter moving targets, and then 300-meter, 400-meter, and 500-meter targets.

If you want a qualified sniper, you'd be lucky if someone could consistently hit a target 500 meters away within a month.

Lin You put away her phone, picked up the mantis knife and sheathed it on her back. "Before we train our own snipers, we have another way. We already have a superhuman on hand."
