In New Calendar Year 2446, June, official announcement: The city occupied by an unknown virus has been destroyed, and the Daleross have defeated the virus!
In September of the same year, the new active protein processing device db6000 was successfully researched and developed. It can more perfectly remove toxins contained in raw materials.
Furthermore, during decomposition, it can extract small amounts of QH006 gene enhancer.
This enhancer can strengthen Soldier Constitution, allowing for effective counterattacks when facing Infected attacks.
At this point, Zhao Feng no longer knew how to comment on the Daleross Civilization; they were venturing further and further down strange paths.
A civilization that had completely unleashed its true nature was simply incomprehensible.
Not having seen enough, Zhao Feng wanted to scroll down further, but the machine froze.
Before he could start feeling frustrated, the Cheat System's prompt information flashed across his face.
（Learned about the past of some planets, Knowledge +2）
（Current Knowledge: 6）
'Alright, it seems I won't be getting any useful information.'
'Tsk, I'm still a bit unsatisfied. The record stops at New Calendar Year 2446?'
'So, what year is it now?'
The cheat system did not answer his question.
He shook his head, feeling a slight regret, and returned the way he came into City Hall.
'Next, it's time to get down to business!'
He brought up the System Panel and clicked on the mission interface.
He chose Side Mission 4: Restore City Power Supply.
He clicked twice according to the prompts in parentheses.
Immediately, his vision showed...
（→）
Staring at the compass-like mark before him, Zhao Feng didn't know what to say.
'It's truly concise and comprehensive!'
Since it pointed him in a clear direction, he decided to just follow the arrow.
He left City Hall and, not long after, arrived at the Parts Warehouse.
（↑）
Confirming that the pointer, no matter how he moved, was always pointing at the building in front of him, Zhao Feng nodded to himself.
'This is it!'
Staring at the row of five-meter-high roller doors, he felt a sense of familiarity.
These aliens really know how to make a door...
He swiped his card and entered the Parts Warehouse.
As the roller doors whirred open.
The equipment, dusty for years in the warehouse, saw the light of day again.
Stepping into the warehouse to inspect the spare parts, he saw neat rows of Bearings and Drive Shafts packed densely inside.
【Drive Shaft】
（Can be re-refined through the Mineral Refining Workshop, each can yield x3 Alloy）
【Bearing】
（Can be re-refined through the Mineral Refining Workshop, every 3 can yield x1 Alloy）
（Prompt: Please collect 5 【Bearings】 and 【Drive Shafts】）
'If I wanted to take something else, I'd need them to have it!'
'Why does this feel different from the Parts Warehouse I imagined?'
Although he was somewhat doubtful, he still collected everything into his Auxiliary Backpack as prompted.
Yes, everything~
After all, it could be refined into Alloy, a necessary resource from now on. Who wouldn't take it for free?
Once the Robot Factory is built, the demand for Alloy will only grow.
It's always good to plan ahead.
Although these Drive Shafts looked large and heavy, as long as he could lift them, they could be placed in the storage backpack.
After a thorough search, the Parts Warehouse was completely cleared out by Zhao Feng.
（Chainsaw Sword, Electric Mule, Bearings x197, Drive Shafts x115）
The pile of supplies filled his Auxiliary Backpack to the brim, so he had to take out the Drilling Laser and strap it to his back.
'Four slots are still not enough!'
'If there's any more good stuff, I'll have to use the Electric Mule to carry it...'
Looking at the mechanical mule in his backpack, Zhao Feng felt like he had forgotten something crucial...
'Wait, wait! Electric Mule? ...Carrying goods? Electric Mule!'
A flash of inspiration struck him. Zhao Feng immediately took out the mechanical mule and then sat down on it.
'Oh my, I'm such an idiot! Why didn't I use such a useful tool sooner? What was my brain doing?'
He brought up the control panel for the 【Electric Mule】 and selected to connect it to the Rocket Gauntlets for manual control.
This way, he could control it to turn, move forward, backward, accelerate, and decelerate using simple gestures.
After practicing for a bit according to the user manual, Zhao Feng understood how to operate it.
Excitedly controlling the mule, he followed the guidance from the Pathfinding Script towards his next target.
The Electric Mule's movement speed is much faster than walking, with a top speed of 45 km/h.
Moreover, it has excellent passability and can adapt to almost all terrains.
Going up and down stairs, climbing slopes, and ascending heights are all effortless.
On city roads, the Electric Mule can easily reach its maximum speed.
Most importantly, this thing is incredibly stable!
Zhao Feng sat on it without feeling even a slight bump.
The mechanical mule carried Zhao Feng at full speed, and before long, they arrived at the entrance directly leading to B3 level.
He took out his B-class Engineer permission card and opened the massive Gate before him.
Although the Cleaner, which was bound to him, didn't show any signs of desperate hunger.
Still, out of caution, Zhao Feng retreated a short distance to leave room for escape.
With the sound of winches turning, the Gate slowly rose.
After confirming that nothing strange emerged, he controlled the mule to move closer.
As they approached the Gate, the system detected the Engineer's B-class permission card and automatically turned on the lights in the passage.
Since this was a dedicated passage for Power Station staff, entering from here bypassed B2 level's Industrial Zone and led directly to B3 level, the Energy Supply area where the Generator Units were located.
Arriving quickly at B3 level, the view was unobstructed. The ground was inlaid with massive generators.
Blue and white paint was sprayed onto the Hemispherical metal shells.
Observation Windows on the sides allowed staff to monitor the equipment's operation from outside.
Each generator was enormous, twice the size of those at Earth's Three Gorges Dam.
These generators were arranged in groups of 10, densely packed underground.
Looking at the schematic diagram on the wall, there were a total of 12 such units.
The diagram indicated that operating 4 groups simultaneously would ensure the entire electricity demand for the city and B2 level's Industrial Zone.
Every week, they would be rotated and inspected.
It was very systematic.
The current situation was that with a much lower power consumption, he only needed to repair 5 generators to ensure the city's basic operation.
According to the Pathfinding Script's prompts, the generators needing repair were D3, C9, F7, and 5 other units.
These units were all damaged in their Drive Shaft and Bearing components; replacement was all that was needed.
His current location was in the E5-E10 section.
Following the map, he quickly found the generator closest to him.
Arriving at the generator labeled F7, the control panel indeed showed a damaged Drive Shaft.
He curiously looked at the two generators next to it.
Unlike his, theirs showed core damage and detached foundation connections.
Seeing this, Zhao Feng quickly understood.
This mission was actually a trap!
