Post-Apocalyptic America: Synthetic 3D Female Protagonist.

Good morning, Mary.

Tina smiled gently, trying to appear as usual.

Mary trotted up to Tina, tilted her head up, and looked up at her with her eyes full of questions.

"Where did you go last night? I came looking for you, but your room was empty. I knocked on the door this morning, but you weren't home either..."

Mary's voice was filled with grievance and worry. After hesitating, she finally asked, "Is...is she with Brother Su Hui?"

Tina's heart skipped a beat, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

Mary's knocking on the door last night still echoed in my ears, and that forbidden thrill of being penetrated from behind a door came rushing back.

Her cheeks flushed instantly, and her eyes darted away in a panic.

"N-no!"

Tina denied it almost immediately, her voice trembling slightly, carrying a hint of barely perceptible panic.

"How...how could I possibly go to see Mr. Su Hui..."

She forced herself to remain calm and tried to make her tone sound more believable: "I just... just wanted to get familiar with my new powers quickly, so I went to the training grounds in the underground shelter alone last night."

"An underground shelter?"

Mary blinked in confusion.

"Yes, I practiced my fighting skills there for a long time."

Tina found a seemingly reasonable excuse and spoke a little faster.

"As you know, we just gained new powers, and I... I wanted to get familiar with them quickly, so I spent the whole night training my fighting skills down there."

As she spoke, she subtly changed the subject, putting her arm around Mary's shoulder and gently pushing her towards the restaurant, deliberately hiding her flushed cheeks from Mary.

"By the way, Mary, how about you? How's your newfound power coming along? Are you getting used to it?"

"After we finish eating, we can go to the underground training ground together for some sparring. It'll be a good opportunity for us to improve each other."

Mary was a little dizzy from Tina's barrage of questions, and her attention was successfully diverted.

"Oh... I'm fine. I feel much stronger and faster, but... I'm still not very proficient in many fighting techniques."

The little girl said somewhat shyly.

"Then you need to practice even more."

Tina smiled gently, secretly relieved that she had finally gotten away with it.

But the strange ripples in her heart did not subside.

She raised her hand to touch her burning cheeks, and the image of Su Hui's tireless thrusts from last night resurfaced in her mind—the firm, hot touch, and the pleasurable tingling sensation brought by the powerful force penetrating her body.

A heat seemed to be rising deep within my body again. That extreme experience, after truly feeling it, was indeed... too stimulating.

Tina instinctively squeezed her legs together, afraid that she would lose control and spill something she shouldn't.

In the days that followed, life in the villa was regular and fulfilling.

Tina and Mary threw themselves into the adaptation training for their new strength.

The training grounds in the basement of the villa became their most frequented place.

The two, dressed in their respective combat suits and wearing energy gauntlets, practiced the fighting techniques that had appeared in their minds over and over again.

From basic punches and kicks to complex grappling and joint locks, their movements gradually became smoother and more fluid.

Harley also enthusiastically joined in, acting as their "sparring partner".

However, Harley's style remains wild and unconventional; it's less of a sparring match and more of a one-sided "harassment."

Using her superhuman flexibility and agility, she skillfully weaved through the gaps in Tina and Mary's attacks, occasionally tapping them on the buttocks with a baseball bat or launching verbal "psychological attacks."

"Oh dear, Tina, your punches are too slow! You can't protect our Honey like that!"

"Little Mary, watch your footwork! Don't let me catch you~ Hehehe!"

Harley's coaching style was also full of her unique flair, and in the intense sparring, Tina and Mary's combat abilities improved at a visible rate.

Even during their training breaks, the three of them didn't forget their regular duties.

The maintenance and expansion of the greenhouse are proceeding in an orderly manner.

Nourished by the improved nutrient solution and organic fertilizer provided by Su Hui, the newly sown vegetable seeds have sprouted and are full of vitality, forming a stark contrast to the apocalyptic scene of ice and snow outside.

Under Su Hui's planning, the villa's defenses were gradually improved by the three of them, with more monitoring equipment and physical barriers being installed.

However, with the addition of various equipment such as supplemental lighting and temperature control systems in the greenhouse, and considering the possibility of further additions of machinery and facilities in the future,

A new problem, or rather a long-standing bottleneck, has begun to emerge.

energy.

During the blizzard, the thick layer of snow covering the solar panels on the villa's roof never melted.

The solar power system was completely paralyzed.

Currently, the entire villa's power supply relies entirely on large diesel generators.

Although Su Hui amassed a considerable amount of diesel reserves, this was ultimately not a long-term solution.

Especially during this seemingly endless winter and long night, a stable supply of energy is crucial.

We must find a more stable, stronger, and more sustainable way to supply energy.

Su Hui turned his attention to the system interface and carefully searched for recipes in the system list.

Soon, two synthesis recipes that shone with a high-level light caught his attention.

Small Fusion Nuclear Reactor (Safe Type)

Deep groundwater extraction and multi-stage purification system

Upon seeing these two options, Su Hui's eyes lit up.

Small, safe, controlled nuclear fusion reactors mean a near-limitless supply of clean energy.

Deep groundwater purification systems can completely solve the problems of drinking water and irrigation water.

Once these two technologies are realized, this villa will truly become a highly self-sufficient doomsday fortress, where energy and water will no longer be constraints on development.

However, when Su Hui opened the detailed recipes for the two blueprints, his brows furrowed slightly.

The materials required to synthesize them are far more complex and rarer than those used to synthesize weapons or enhancement agents.

[Small Fusion Nuclear Reactor (Safe Type) Synthesis Formula: Source Crystal (Extra Large) x1, Compressed Tritium Fuel Rods x5, Superconducting Magnetic Confinement Coil x2, Energy Conversion Core x1, Intelligent Control Module (Advanced) x1, Special Alloy Shell Material x Several...]

[Deep Groundwater Extraction and Multi-stage Purification System Synthesis Formula: Yuanjing (Large) x10, Geologically Stabilizing Anchor Bolts x8, Polymer Reverse Osmosis Filter Membrane x20, High-Pressure Extraction Pump Set x1, Intelligent Water Quality Monitoring Module x1, Food-Grade Piping Materials x Several...]

"Compressed tritium fuel rods..."

"Superconducting magnetic confinement coil..."

"Neutron reflector materials..."

"Polymer reverse osmosis filter membrane..."

"Geologically stable anchor bolts..."

Each of these items represents the culmination of high technology and industrial strength.

This is definitely not something you can find by rummaging through abandoned supermarkets or residential houses.

They are most likely found only in large research institutions, nuclear physics laboratories, high-tech industrial parks, or secret military bases.

None of these places are locations that Su Hui knows the exact location of, and he wants to obtain information about the research institutions and these items.

The answer seems quite obvious.

The first is the large-scale shelters currently being built by the government.

Although it is unknown how much official force remains in Los Angeles, they must have received some of the evacuated scientists or preserved important databases and research institution address information.

Second, there are giant corporations like Cole's "Universal Group".

These multinational corporations already had their own research institutes before the disaster, possessing strong R&D capabilities and resource reserves.

After the apocalypse, their private armed forces allowed them to seize important scientific research or industrial facilities and attract various scientific talents to establish independent spheres of influence.

This means it's not just a matter of energy and water.

Besides these two, Su Hui had other information he needed to know.

What is the distribution of variants in different areas of Los Angeles?

In which areas are the high-level mutants detected by the military mainly concentrated?

What was the cause of that powerful missile bombing of Hollywood Hills?

What is the current state of official forces?

How much control have they regained over Los Angeles?

This information is crucial for Su Hui's future survival and development.

The radio in the villa was too limited in its effectiveness; Su Hui needed to proactively connect with these powerful forces to obtain more information channels.

It seems it's time to visit the official shelter.

Whether it's to gather intelligence or to find materials or clues needed to synthesize key equipment, this is a necessary step.

As his thoughts wandered, several faces appeared in Su Hui's mind.

Nearly a month ago, on the way to Beverly Hills, I met the policewoman Saran Johnson, who was also a compatible person.

Also, there's Ryan, the former police officer I met at Grove Shopping Center, and his pregnant wife, Elaine.

Ryan's integrity and his willingness to stand by Su Hui's side at crucial moments left a good impression on him.

As he left, he glanced discreetly at May's body, which Cole had executed, as a reminder to Ryan that Cole and the Universal Group behind him were no benevolent people, and that their so-called "order" was built on absolute force and ruthless rules.

I wonder what happened to Ryan and the others afterward, whether they were taken to the Staples Center by Cole's troops.

If you're going to an official shelter, you might want to inquire about their situation along the way.

At the same time, the existence of Cole and Huanyu Group made Su Hui even more vigilant.

The “alliance of giant corporations” that Cole mentioned so casually is clearly not limited to Universal Group alone.

These behemoths, possessing advanced technology, resources, and private armies, would likely become even more dangerous than mutants in a post-apocalyptic world.

The "safe zone" they established may just be another form of cage.

Su Hui's eyes narrowed slightly, and he already had a preliminary plan in mind.

It's time to go out and see what Los Angeles looks like after the apocalypse.

We should also investigate what role those surviving major human powers are playing.

45. A Chance Encounter and a Move [Seeking Monthly Tickets!]

boom!

Click-click——

The heavy tracks of the modified Hummer rolled over a low-level mutant that was trying to pounce on it.

Thick, black liquid mixed with broken bones splattered on the snow, leaving a filthy trail.

The vehicle struggled to navigate the streets of Los Angeles, which were covered in thick snow and littered with abandoned vehicles and debris.

"Honey, how much longer until we get to that official shelter? Driving in this awful weather is so boring."

Harley idly swung her legs, which were clad in fishnet stockings, while leaning her upper body against the back of the seat in front of her and bringing her head close to Su Hui.

In the back seat.

With a tablet on her lap, Tina was carefully checking the offline map displayed on it when she heard this and looked up.

"Because there were too many obstacles on the road to clear, we took a detour and have just entered the city center area. The straight-line distance to the Crypto Arena (formerly Staples Center) is about seven kilometers away."

"I wonder what the official shelters are like now... It's been more than a month since the apocalypse."

Mary Rowland sat next to Tina, wiping her energy gauntlets, and asked with some curiosity, "Will it still be like before, with long lines for relief food while the officials have parties inside?"
