The days of being a highly sought-after superstar are unlikely to happen again.

Anna was also well aware of this, but she knew she had developed a certain level of survival skills in this apocalyptic world.

When she thought about her previous efforts to get close to and rely on Lucas, Anna couldn't quite describe her feelings.

In Anna's perception, Lucas remained strong and mysterious.

Since her abilities would continue to improve, she decided to take it step by step.

At least for now, following Lucas seemed like a good choice.

While Anna contemplated the future, Lucas was also deep in thought.

Leveling up must not stop!

Anna's evolution served as a wake-up call for Lucas.

In this rebirth, he still didn't become a superhuman.

The system only continued to enhance his physical abilities; he still hadn't awakened any special powers like the superhumans.

However, Lucas didn't underestimate himself. After all, he could use the powerful old techniques from the capsules, such as the Flame Fist.

Anna's evolution also added a formidable combat force to Lucas's temporary team.

This time, they thoroughly searched the surroundings of the villa, including the vast forest nearby.

In the end, Lucas confirmed that there were hardly any zombies in this upscale villa community for some unknown reason.

The few zombies that did exist were already taken care of by them.

Staying in this community should be relatively safe as long as they didn't deliberately attract zombies and bugs.

It took them seven to eight hours to search the villas in the community, and the Cobras were thrilled because they found a lot of supplies.

They even discovered a small weapons storage room in one of the villas.

After replicating them using blank blueprints, these weapons would become Lucas's reserve.

They had all decided to slowly establish their own small forces, as weapons were crucial.

Among all the things they found, Lucas was most delighted to find a dozen small generators.

While others didn't know the purpose of having so many small engines, Lucas understood their value.

As time in the post-apocalyptic era passed, electricity would become crucial!

Watching the young boy feed the infected dogs with sausages he found in the community, Lucas didn't stop him but let out a sigh.

Before the apocalypse, feeding infected dogs with ham sausages held no value, but a year after the apocalypse, if he gave them to high-ranking human officials, it could at least provide the boy with several weeks' worth of rations.

A pack of instant noodles could even buy Anna, the highly sought-after superstar, a night in bed.

Of course, this was assuming Anna hadn't evolved her abilities.

If instant noodles and ham sausages held high value in the apocalypse, the value of a small generator could be considered priceless.

Power sources were precious for at least seven to eight years in the post-apocalyptic era.

This situation only changed when the balance of power gradually equalized between superhumans, infected individuals, and bugs.

At that time, when humans in medium and large shelter cities regained control of power plants and similar facilities, they could truly possess electricity again.

The bus couldn't hold too many things before upgrading the system with space technology.

Since Lucas wanted to stockpile for the future, he needed to find more safe places to hide things before the nuclear explosion in the seaside city.

Moreover, they needed to find several locations to distribute the risk, as the method of risk sharing was vital for survival in the apocalypse.

For now, the villa they were residing in became their temporary headquarters.

The generator in the villa started running, and the Cobras, eager to make a good impression, checked the surveillance cameras and even inspected the entire community's surveillance system.

This way, the entire community was under their surveillance, and the level of security increased significantly.

After Anna's evolution and awakening of two abilities, Lucas educated everyone about the knowledge of evolved humans.

This not only gave everyone a new understanding of the apocalypse but also helped conceal the mystery surrounding Lucas.

Anna was willing to listen to Lucas because she believed that Lucas's power was also a result of his own evolution, and it was even stronger than hers!

In Anna's mind, she believed that Lucas had awakened at least two abilities: metal manipulation and plant cultivation.

Especially plant cultivation, everyone believed that this ability was even more important than offensive abilities since food was the fundamental necessity for survival at all times.

This also led to the fact that even if Lucas didn't display combat strength at this time, everyone was willing to stay with him for the sake of survival.

After a satisfying meal, everyone returned to their rooms to rest.

The mute girl stood guard on the roof of the bus, while Lucas stayed inside the bus, starting to deal with the rewards after completing the mission.

As for the mysterious fragments and the spine-like object, Lucas couldn't make heads or tails of them. He knew they were important, but he couldn't figure out their purpose for the time being.

Among the other rewards, there was one red capsule, three red blank blueprints, a vial of body enhancement liquid, and an upgrade value for the bus's transformation.

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining a suicide drone, which can be controlled from the combat drone control station.]

[Congratulations to the host for the enhancement of skin hardening, skin hardness +10.]

Lucas clicked on his body attributes, and his skin hardness had reached 43 points.

[Suicide Drone (Red tier)]

Can cause destructive damage within a range of fifty meters upon explosion (targets below yellow tier).

Another powerful weapon!

Lucas was very satisfied with this suicide drone.
