Chapter 132

After a few quiet and uneventful days, Zhou Yu continued his own training while guiding Nian Yu and Xiao Jie.

One day, after lunch, Pan Yuxin approached Zhou Yu and said, "Brother Xiaoyu, we have successfully connected to the satellite."

Zhou Yu laughed heartily. "Perfect! That is truly excellent news."

Pan Yuxin asked, "What should we do next?"

Zhou Yu replied, "Broadcast the news that our base is established. I think it is time for us to step out into the light again."

"Understood, I'll get right on it," Pan Yuxin said, turning away to carry out the task.

For Zhou Yu, this day was destined to be a momentous one. By evening, Peng Honghai arrived, accompanied by his wife and child. Zhou Yu did not call for Liu Haishan; instead, he instructed a soldier on duty to escort the family to a place where they could settle in.

Once Peng Honghai had seen his wife and child safely accommodated, he hurried over to Zhou Yu's villa, insisting that they share a drink. Unable to refuse, Zhou Yu sat down with him, and as they drank, they began to catch up.

As it turned out, Peng Honghai’s journey home had been fraught with hardship. Although he possessed the ability to turn invisible, he could not simply run the entire way. Driving a car meant constantly encountering zombies roaming the streets. Upon arriving home, he had to clear the surrounding area of threats before he could finally bring his wife and child to the vehicle and head back toward the farmhouse where they had originally met.

When they reached the farmhouse, they discovered that Zhou Yu and his group were already gone. After finding the note left by Zhou Yu and resting for a day, they hurried toward SH City. It took them two more days of searching within the city before they finally located the military district.

After hearing his story, Zhou Yu smiled and said, "Brother Hai, I’m just glad you made it here safely. With us brothers united, we will surely create a legend of our own in this apocalypse."

Peng Honghai chuckled. "So, what kind of position do you plan to arrange for me?"

Zhou Yu spoke with a serious expression, "Brother Hai, it’s not that I don’t value you, but you know as well as I do that in this apocalypse, strength is the only law. To be blunt, you’re only slightly stronger than an average person right now. You might not even be able to defeat some of our more skilled soldiers, so..."

Peng Honghai shook his head with a smile. "Brother, when have I ever cared about that? As long as we have food and shelter, that’s enough for me."

"Brother Hai, let me finish," Zhou Yu said.

"Fair enough, go on," Peng Honghai replied.

"I intend for you to learn sniping and close-quarters combat," Zhou Yu continued. "First, it will bolster your strength, and second, it will perfectly complement your supernatural ability."

Peng Honghai asked in surprise, "At my age, can I still learn combat?"

It was true; Peng Honghai was nearing thirty, an age when few people typically begin training in martial arts.

Zhou Yu said, "It’s fine. Combat is mainly for self-defense. Your primary focus will be sniping, though I suggest you also study assassination techniques. This way, your ability won't go to waste."

"Haha, alright! I’ll leave it to you," Peng Honghai said.

Zhou Yu added, "Once we grow a bit more, I plan to gather every brother I can find. Only then will we truly be a united force."

Peng Honghai smiled and stood up. "Alright, I won't keep you from your rest any longer."

"Very well," Zhou Yu replied. "I'll be staying at the base for a while. If you run into any issues, come find me anytime."

"Haha, don't worry, I won't stand on ceremony with you," Peng Honghai laughed.

"That's the best way," Zhou Yu said.

After seeing Peng Honghai off, Zhou Yu finally headed to Nian Yu's room to get some rest.
