Global Abyss: My Skills Can Enhance Infinitely

Chapter 125: Chapter 114 Temporary Camp

"They haven't stopped either, but maybe they're just restraining the Aliens and guarding the settlements, activities have decreased a bit compared to before..."

Tao Yu was checking some public intelligence and tasks, continuously digesting new information.

The Suns siblings, with their hovercraft, were fast enough to have a natural advantage in exploration. They had already circled around upon entering, marking out much of Pandora World.

However, so much time had passed now that they probably only made it to the eastern edge of Zombie World, crossed the Atlantic Ocean to Africa, and then discovered the boundaries of the fragments.

"The description seems to indicate a world from the time of the Republic of China. It's possible that it's the world Cao Shaolin is in, also occupied by zombies, but not nearly as severe as this one."

As Tao Yu read the intelligence, thoughts were forming in his mind.

Actually, when you think about it, it's normal. In a world where transportation isn't convenient and there's no unified water source, a widespread outbreak like the one in this world would be quite difficult.

These zombies weren't very mobile, and their individual strength was mediocre, so they couldn't possibly spread to every village and town.

That world had only a few exploration missions, and they required crossing the ocean, a far too great distance, with little apparent benefit. Tao Yu directly ignored them, content with just a basic understanding.

"There doesn't seem to be any threat for now, but that style might belong to Uncle Jiu's world, who knows..."

The thought of zombies put some pressure on Tao Yu.

But fortunately, even if zombies managed to cross oceans, and the world barriers didn't hold them back, there would still be a rather lengthy buffer period.

At such times, one must have faith in the capabilities of the strong.

"People have already gone to Pandora World? Wow, someone managed to get a transplant that can adapt to Pandora Planet's air. Not sure if it was pre-existing or implanted on the spot, but completing it in a little over two months must have involved the use of Yuan Force..."

Looking further, Tao Yu found that a very small number of elites had entered Pandora Planet and collected some information.

"The frozen world shouldn't be Wandering Earth. Wonder if it's post-apocalyptic..."

After updating the information, Tao Yu still focused on the Rainforest, the world he first arrived in!

Even though the Aliens originated from the plains, now the Rainforest was the hot zone of the Alien infestation, with high survivor rates for Pioneers who landed in the grasslands.

"In open terrain, prepared Pioneers in the outskirts with weapons could face them one on one, but in the Rainforest, it's all down to luck, and there are too many species."

Tao Yu then downloaded a predictive map of Alien activity in the Rainforest.

Though it was just an estimate, it divided the area into three major sections where three to four Alien Queens were presumed to be present.

"Alien development is indeed fast. If it hadn't been for those siblings' swift action, there might have been even more by now. The Rainforest is too rich in resources; there are no related tasks for Blood Orchid for now, not sure if they want to clean it up before mining or if someone is already guarding it..."

Tao Yu didn't ponder much; the flowering cycle of the Blood Orchid was too long, and he hadn't planned much on it. His main focus was still on hunting Aliens to complete his Talent's second Deification!

Tao Yu then headed to Jack's dormitory, pulled out the key, and opened the door.

The guy wasn't in the dormitory, but all his stuff was still there, toothbrush and cup untouched, though the room looked a bit messy.

"What a fool."

He tidied up casually, then left his RV keys and the magnetic card on the table.

Just about to leave a note or something, he heard a noise at the door.

"Yo, kid, you finally decided to come back? Haven't seen hide nor hair of you for a month or two."

What met his eyes was Jack's familiar big nose with its ugly scar.

"Hey, been caught up with stuff, here, my RV. Keep an eye on it for me."

Tao Yu tossed the keys and magnetic card over to him.

"Looks pretty high-end."

Jack fiddled with them in his hand for a moment.

"Suppose so."

"You heading out again?"

"Yeah, need to make money, you seem to have made good progress recently."

Tao Yu sized up Jack, who had clearly bulked up a bit and whose muscle contours were smoother.

As the 'Chosen One,' Jack couldn't strengthen specific areas but indeed grew stronger by killing monsters.

"Fought Aliens? Zombies should take too long."

"Yeah, there's an Alien Queen at the base; they have me kill some Aliens every day, works much better than zombies."

Jack happily struck a Crane pose there and then, smoothly beginning to move.

This surprised Tao Yu, who noticed the Spirituality; Jack was already at a high stage of lv3, so fast!

"Is that how it is?"

"Uh, not exactly, I'm most familiar with the Crane shape. I actually wanted to go out, but they wouldn't let me, which is kind of boring."

Jack also sighed a bit. Now that he was the only Chosen One at the base, it was indeed impossible for him to take risks. He had even been given the position of the overall manager, and theoretically, all the natives were being managed by Jack.

"Once the number of 'Chosen Ones' increases, they'll rush you out. For now, hurry up and improve your strength—that's what really counts."

Tao Yu flicked his finger against Jack's body, and when he touched him, a burst of energy made half of Jack's body go numb, nearly bringing him to his knees before he steadied himself.

Afterward, he looked at Tao Yu with astonishment.

"Man, you've gotten stronger, and it seems like a lot stronger."

"Hanging out there for so long, that's normal, right? I'll be on my way, remember to watch my bike for me."

Tao Yu waved his hand and left the dormitory, which made Jack a bit envious.

But thinking about what Tao Yu had said, he still quite agreed with him and continued to practice...

...

After posting a task to reassure his family that he wouldn't be coming back in the short term, Tao Yu replenished some supplies and set off on an off-road motorbike directly towards the direction of the rainforest.

Cao Shaolin, with a packed bag on his back, sat in the rear, coldly leaning on Tao Yu, while Little Black could only run alongside with all its might.

This strange combination occasionally attracted some attention on the road. Seeing the alien, Little Black, tamed by Tao Yu, many people revealed fear and some reactive behavior. Fortunately, no violent incidents occurred.

"It shouldn't be just me who has tamed an Alien; this species is indeed tamable. However, their stubbornness is too much."

Tao Yu looked at the back of Little Black's head and his mouth twitched.

When Yuan Force is abundant, the skills for riding and Taming Technique can undergo Deification again.

However, compared to that, increasing one's strength is of the highest priority.

One's own power is the foundation!

Tao Yu didn't go through Henderson's highway this time but found another, more direct route based on the information from the mission hall.

Along the way, he occasionally encountered other Pioneers, some heading to the base and some towards the rainforest.

Those going towards the base usually walked on foot, dusty and dirty. Sometimes it was one person, sometimes groups of several people.

The vehicles headed towards the rainforest, on the other hand, would appear occasionally.

The Pioneers coming towards Tao Yu would keep their distance, probably due to the deterring presence of Little Black.

They might not even know that Little Black was tamed by Tao Yu. As long as it didn't attack them, they didn't want to draw its attention.

The base wasn't too far from the rainforest, but because of Little Black's speed and the road conditions, by the time Tao Yu reached the edge, it was already evening, and night was about to fall.

From afar, one could see the world of the rainforest meeting the end of the highway, with a large number of vehicles of various models parked there, and a dense array of tents set up nearby.

There were tents of contemporary styles as well as many native ones, making it look like a tent festival. Additionally, some simple enclosures with wire fencing and the like had been set up in the vicinity.

Tao Yu slowed down his motorbike as two armed figures approached him, warily eyeing the Alien creature by Tao Yu's side.

Seeing that Little Black had no intention of biting anyone and indeed appeared to be tamed, they forced a smile and said,

"Fellows, this is a temporary camp organized by Lord Masu, specially serving Pioneers who want to enter the rainforest for hunting.

"We offer vehicle storage, supply restocking, tent rentals, and purchase of trophies. It's getting dark now; do you want to come in and rest a bit?"

Thanks to the reputation brought by Little Black, the fully armed personnel spoke in gentle and cautious tones, as if fearing to anger Tao Yu.

"How much does it cost, and can I bring a pet?"

Tao Yu was also curious about the profitability of this business. If it were high, he would consider bringing Panda to join in.

"Pets are allowed; we've hosted friends who have tamed Aliens before, but pets must be restrained. Otherwise, if other Pioneers attack them, we won't take responsibility. And if a pet injures someone, compensation is required,"

explained another in a soft voice, before continuing,

"For someone as capable as you, sir, we don't charge. We can even look after the vehicle for free. However, if you wish to rent a tent, it's 10 Yuan Force for one night..."

Hearing this, Tao Yu immediately lost interest, as the profits seemed rather ordinary.

But the free vehicle watch must hold some gains; if a person dies, their vehicle becomes theirs, right?

Earning a margin on purchases is also a business. Since this place is a distance from the base, Tao Yu himself would be willing to sell here for around a twenty percent discount on the revenue.

Probably many Pioneers rest here at night and enter the rainforest during the day. They would only have the choice to sell here, despite the distance.

The volume should still be decent, but as Tao Yu previously discussed with Panda, there is a risk of crash, with too many Aliens potentially keeping the reward price the same, or even increasing, but the value of the skills would definitely diminish significantly...
