After reviewing the attributes of the PX-1 portable composite battle suit, Xu Zhengyang couldn't wait to claim his mission reward.
With a "whoosh," a metal box the size of a suitcase appeared in Xu Zhengyang's hands.
The box was heavy.
Xu Zhengyang estimated it weighed at least seventy kilograms!
If it weren't for his strength far exceeding that of an average person, he might not have been able to lift this solid metal suitcase.
Immediately after, Xu Zhengyang placed the side of the metal suitcase marked with an "↑" symbol on top and stood on it, beginning to don the battle suit! The moment Xu Zhengyang's feet stepped onto the suitcase, it emitted a "buzzing" mechanical sound! Following that, the metal plates inside the suitcase flowed like water, gradually covering Xu Zhengyang's entire body from the bottom up! As the final faceplate enveloped Xu Zhengyang's face, a string of authentication information appeared on the display screen of the faceplate: [Would you like to bind your iris/voiceprint?]
"Yes!"
As soon as Xu Zhengyang's voice fell, a line of text appeared on the display screen:
[Please look straight ahead!]
[Iris binding in progress...]
[Iris binding complete!]
...
[Please read the phrase in parentheses in Mandarin (PX-1 Portable Composite Battle Suit)]
"PX-1 Portable Composite Battle Suit," Xu Zhengyang said.
[Voiceprint binding in progress...]
[Voiceprint binding complete!]
With the appearance of the system subtitles, Xu Zhengyang gained the highest level of control over this portable battle suit! After obtaining the permissions, Xu Zhengyang was like a child with a new toy, testing the performance of the battle suit in the courtyard of the shelter!
...
After messing around in the courtyard for a full half hour, Xu Zhengyang finally satisfiedly deactivated the battle suit mode and had Da Bai take it away for charging.
Once he donned the portable battle suit, Xu Zhengyang's physique transformed into that of a giant standing 2.4 meters tall.
With the exoskeleton assistance activated, Xu Zhengyang could even punch through a 9mm steel plate! Such immense power, combined with Xu Zhengyang's skills of [Melee Mastery] and [Crush], made him confident.
If he were to encounter a Giant Tyrant Zombie again, he wouldn't even need to use firearms; he could directly twist off the Giant Tyrant Zombie's head with his bare hands! Besides the powerful attribute bonuses, the interior of the battle suit contained a type of futuristic technology padding.
Wrapped in this padding, Xu Zhengyang felt as if he were floating on clouds; ordinary shocks couldn't harm him at all! Moreover, the padding had additional functions.
It could absorb the bodily fluids from Xu Zhengyang, keeping his body dry at all times.
"This is truly powerful!" Xu Zhengyang was very satisfied with the capabilities of the portable battle suit.
Then he activated the shelter's optical camouflage plugin to hide the four watchtowers before opening his mission list to check the latest main quest:
[Main Quest: Oil Extraction (In Progress)]
[In the apocalypse, the fuel around you will soon be swept away by the surrounding survivors! To ensure that your shelter always has high-energy fuel and to prevent your fuel-powered vehicles and equipment from becoming scrap metal, please build an oil extraction plant within the shelter.]
[Mission Objective: Build an oil extraction plant in the industrial area (the area of the oil extraction plant must be no less than 200 square meters, with a daily extraction volume of no less than 30 tons)]
[Mission Reward: Oddity · Small Ore Vein Seed (Oil)]
After reading the mission details, Xu Zhengyang immediately said to Da Bai, "Da Bai, carve out a 200-square-meter room for me in the factory on the 16-meter level of the industrial area!"
"Yes, Master."
Da Bai responded, and the Engineering Robot immediately began to rumble into action.
After that, Xu Zhengyang first went to his armory to store all the various weapons and ammunition he had previously acquired.
Only then did he drive to the Baicheng Oil Machinery Factory.
Although there were no oil fields in Baicheng, thanks to a certain aid project during a sensitive period last century, Baicheng had an oil machinery processing plant.
Because of this, Xu Zhengyang didn't need to go far to purchase the machinery needed for the oil extraction plant.
Generally speaking, the core equipment for oil extraction is the oil pump, also known as the "nodding donkey."
This equipment comes in various sizes.
The mission required a daily extraction volume of no less than thirty tons, so Xu Zhengyang only needed to acquire two machines that could each extract twenty tons per day to exceed the requirements!
*One hour later, at the Baicheng Oil Machinery Factory.
This was one of the pillar industries of Baicheng. During rush hours, the area around the Baicheng Oil Machinery Factory would be so congested that cars would be backed up for several kilometers! But now, the Baicheng Oil Machinery Factory had lost its former glory.
The grand and imposing office building now had only one-fifth of its lights still on.
As for the large factory buildings behind the office building, they were now just like the high-speed train production factory Xu Zhengyang had visited before, with only two of the factory buildings still lit.
"This is quite convenient," Xu Zhengyang said, parking his car by the roadside. After changing into the Flight Combat Suit in the back seat, he carefully made his way into the Baicheng Oil Machinery Factory with Da Bai's assistance.
"Master," Da Bai's voice came through Xu Zhengyang's Bluetooth headset, "According to my scans, the oil pump with a daily output of 20 tons is over here."
As soon as Da Bai finished speaking, a 3D overhead map of the Baicheng Oil Machinery Factory appeared on Xu Zhengyang's contact lenses, highlighting a warehouse.
"Okay," Xu Zhengyang nodded, preparing to head over to retrieve the oil pump he needed when suddenly, he heard a series of piercing screams coming from a nearby factory! At the same time, a string of system subtitles appeared before Xu Zhengyang: [Emergency Time-Limited Mission: Frenzied Zombie (In Progress)]
[Mission Objective: Kill the nearby Frenzied Zombie]
[Mission Reward: Frenzied Power]
[Mission Time Limit: 23 hours, 59 minutes, 54 seconds]
Seeing this sudden mission, Xu Zhengyang was momentarily stunned, then quickly found a corner to take out the portable battle suit he had just received and put it on! After donning the portable battle suit, Xu Zhengyang immediately asked Da Bai, "Da Bai, have you found the exact location of that Frenzied Zombie?"
"Right here, Master!" Da Bai replied, marking a rapidly moving red dot on Xu Zhengyang's contact lenses!
The Frenzied Zombie was moving at an incredible speed!
According to Da Bai's rough calculations, the Frenzied Zombie could run at speeds of up to nine to ten meters per second, comparable to Bolt!
"Here it comes!" Xu Zhengyang's face lit up with excitement; he couldn't wait to rush over and snap the neck of this Frenzied Zombie! Thank you to [An Old Man in the Mountains Comp
