"Besides, more than 2000 points were gained..."
Turning his gaze away from the rear carriage, Ray let out a sigh, unable to deny that this operation had indeed netted him a significant profit.
Looking at those 2000+ points, he pondered on how to maximize the use of these points.
"Should I upgrade the nail gun again?"
The thought had barely formed before he dismissed it.
After all, a nail gun is just a nail gun. No matter how much it's upgraded, it remains a nail gun.
The weapon he truly desired was a real firearm.
To him, the nail gun was merely a transitional weapon, so there was no point in continuing to waste points on it.
"Maybe this is an opportunity to get some real guns. After all, the points aren't going anywhere, and there will always be a time when they're needed."
"If it's really impossible to get real guns, then it's not too late to use the points for upgrades later."
Ray checked the time and saw it was just past one in the afternoon. He immediately instructed Jarvis, "Jarvis, locate the nearest police station to us, without deviating from the route to the Hilton Hotel!"
He hadn't planned on challenging the military defense checkpoint set up on the bridge to Donghai City tonight anyway. As long as he could reach the Hilton Hotel, which was very close to the bridge, by tonight, that was enough.
This had been his plan since last night: to scout the situation on the bridge and then find an opportunity to get through, heading towards Donghai City, the closest city to Shangbin City!
After all, it's currently considered the safest place!
And now, with it still being early, arriving early would just mean resting, so why not take a detour to snatch some real guns and develop further!
When it comes to acquiring firearms and ammunition, the police station is naturally the first choice, being an official department with an armory!
Shangbin City is vast, with police stations set up in different districts, and as far as he knows, there are at least twenty districts!
That means, at the very least, there are over twenty police stations!
"Sir, I have located two police stations that meet your requirements: the second division of Huarong District, which is 10 kilometers away, and the first division of Haibin District, which is 27 kilometers away," Jarvis's voice announced, filtering out the qualified stations from over twenty options and placing them on the map.
Then, Jarvis's voice came again: "Sir, surveillance footage reveals that the second division of Huarong District has been emptied by others."
"Emptied?"
Ray was slightly surprised, not expecting that someone had already raided a police station just one day into the apocalypse.
It seems there's no shortage of bold people!
"Then let's head to the other one!" Ray decided, then immediately instructed: "Jarvis, check the surroundings of the first division of Haibin District."
"Right away, sir!"
After agreeing, Jarvis's voice resounded two seconds later:
"Surveillance from the nearby area shows that there are over two hundred zombies near the first division of Haibin District, including two evolved zombies, and fifty-seven zombies inside the division, including one evolved zombie."
"A total of three evolved zombies?"
Ray stroked his chin, not too concerned. With his current strength and the upgraded armored vehicle, he could either fight or flee if necessary.
Still, it's better to be cautious to avoid any surprises. He instructed again: "Jarvis, send me the footage of these three evolved zombies!"
In just one second!
Three video clips were sent to his phone by Jarvis.
Ray briefly viewed each and found that two of the evolved zombies had appearances he had seen before.
They were a zombie with a mutated body and another with a mutated arm.
As for the last one, it deserves special attention.
It was an unconventional evolution of a zombie, not just the arms, legs, or body.
Its back had evolved to sprout eight tentacle-like appendages, akin to those of an octopus!
Upon closer inspection, it was evident that the tips of these eight tentacles gleamed with a cold light, appearing extremely sharp. Based on Ray's knowledge of these evolved zombies, it seemed likely that even a steel plate placed in front of this creature could be easily pierced through!
"This one needs special attention."
Shifting his gaze away from the video, he made a mental note of this zombie, formulating a plan in his mind.
"Jarvis, re-plan the route to include a gas station."
Ray started the armored vehicle, giving further instructions.
Indeed, he planned to repeat a previously successful tactic!
Observing no fuel tankers near the police station meant he had to create a similar effect by other means.
Moreover, the armored vehicle had just been upgraded, with a fuel capacity of 500 liters, necessitating a full refill.
"Understood, sir. The route has been planned for you."
With the ignition of the armored vehicle, it roared to life like a waking beast.
Ray pressed the accelerator, turned the steering wheel, and followed the route Jarvis had re-planned, heading straight for the road at the crossroads.
"Still unconscious!"
Driving down the avenue in the armored vehicle, Ray glanced at Liu Yuqing, who was still unconscious in the passenger seat from the shockwave of the fuel tanker explosion, shook his head, and handed over the driving to Jarvis.
Then, he unbuckled his seatbelt, left the driver's seat, and moved next to Liu Yuqing.
With the upgrade, the interior space of the armored vehicle had increased, creating a narrow passageway between the driver and passenger seats, and the ceiling was much higher. Even someone as tall as Ray, at 1.8 meters, could stand and walk inside with ease.
Approaching Liu Yuqing, Ray unbuckled her seatbelt and bent down to lift her from the passenger seat.
"Wow... that's a bit cheeky!"
As Ray lifted Liu Yuqing in his arms, naturally, there was some physical contact.
He looked down.
Due to the heat, after they had taken showers at the supermarket, they had changed into cooler clothes, and Liu Yuqing had put on a very loose and thin white low-cut T-shirt.
Now, one side of the loose white low-cut T-shirt had naturally slipped down...
Ray took a good few seconds to appreciate the view before turning around and carrying Liu Yuqing to the back of the vehicle, gently placing her on the bed.
After all, there was a battle to be fought soon. His body had improved in many aspects, and he was brimming with energy; a little less rest wouldn't matter for him, but Liu Yuqing hadn't taken any potions. With insufficient rest, she wouldn't just be of no help later on, but she might even become a burden.
"We should find an opportunity to take care of her soon, or else it's really going to be unbearable to continue like this."
After one more glance at Liu Yuqing and her somewhat cheeky assets, Ray withdrew his gaze, muttering to himself before turning back to the driver's seat to take over driving again.
Although Jarvis is capable of autonomous driving, there are many situations where Jarvis cannot make decisions on its own.
For instance, seeing supermarkets, vehicles, resources, survivors, etc., along the way... Ray could make some decisions based on his own thoughts, whereas Jarvis could not.
