Doomsday: I Build a Space Fleet

Chapter 64 An Unexpected Joy

"We need to hurry. We'll go ask Ms. Lin if there's anything else we need to take from her lab later."

Lorraine silently made her plans.

"At that time, the reconnaissance drone will advance 100 meters, and two Rainbow-1 drones will take turns inspecting the road and surrounding environment 1 kilometer ahead of the convoy."

"I drove the empty truck with Roy and Qiexue leading the way, while Baijin followed in the truck, with Diting lying on the roof of Baijin's truck to provide backup."

"Tengu, Maomao, and Xuan Tie are on standby on the landing craft; they must ensure the instruments on the Platinum vehicle remain intact."

Lorraine quickly made a plan and then prepared to return to the infirmary to ask Ms. Lin if there was anything else she wanted to take with her.

"Platinum, you keep an eye on things here. I'm going to the infirmary to ask Ms. Lin if there's anything else she needs in the lab."

"No problem, then what about the route map?"

"It's up to you. Try to keep the truck going straight along the riverside road."

"clear."

Lorraine returned to the medical room.

"The lab doesn't have what I need, and the raw materials in the cold storage should be expired."

Ms. Lin pondered for a moment, then spoke.

"Just bring your research equipment with you."

"We saw this and were going to take it with us, but we also found a black suitcase earlier. Was that your luggage inside?"

"A black suitcase?"

Lin Shu couldn't remember for a moment whether it was his or hers.

"Let me show it to you."

"Thank you for your help, I really can't remember."

In her memory, all her belongings were kept at that farm.

A short while later, Lorraine returned to the infirmary carrying her suitcase.

"Please check if any of these are yours."

Out of politeness, Lorraine did not open the suitcase immediately.

"Xiao Nian, hold it up so I can see it."

Ms. Lin is still somewhat weak and can only rely on Ouyang for help.

"Closer."

Ms. Lin Shu reached out and stroked the texture on the surface of the box.

"Um?"

Lorraine noticed a slight change in Ms. Lin Shu's expression.

"Ms. Bai Zhi, could you please shine a flashlight around here?"

Ouyang Nian made way for Bai Zhi to stop beside the bed.

Bai Zhi extended her mechanical arm, and a beam of white light shone on the spot where Lin Shu was pointing.

"This is indeed mine, but it was prepared by the research institute."

Hearing this, Lorraine roughly knew what was going on.

"Xiao Nian, you open it. The password should be 0606."

The black suitcase, "Kata," opened with a click.

"Sister, you have this name tag too."

Ouyang Nian picked up a slightly heavy name tag with a black background and white flowers.

Ms. Lin sighed and said.

"I think I know what's in this box. Xiao Nian, help me up."

"sister?"

Lorraine rushed forward to help and brought over the mobile stretcher from the medical room.

"Put the box on here."

"Thanks."

Lin Shu sat on the edge of the bed and began to pack the things in her suitcase.

Lin Shu took out a large box from the left side of the suitcase.

"These are some special low-activity seeds that need to be soaked in a chemical solution before planting."

Lin Shu deciphered the small print on the compartment of the box.

"It contains high-yield crops that I have researched, as well as disease-resistant crops that my colleagues have researched."

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Nian immediately became excited.

Since the apocalypse began, she has only eaten fresh vegetables for a short period of time in the early stages of the apocalypse.

"Sister, do you have any crops that can be grown hydroponically? We have a small hydroponic farm on our ship."

"Of course there are."

Seeing Ouyang Nian's anxious expression, Lin Shu smiled and reassured him.

"Then please put these things in the warehouse for now. I'll take care of the hydroponic farm from now on."

"Thank you for your help. I'll be going now if there's nothing else."

"You go ahead and get busy, I have Xiao Nian to help out here."

Lorraine gave Ouyang Nian a encouraging look, then picked up her suitcase and turned to leave.

Ouyang Nian glared back angrily.

"Xiao Nian, help me get the computer out of the right side."

"Okay, sis, your computer is really heavy."

Lorraine put the box containing the seeds into the warehouse and then returned to the cockpit.

Before Lorraine could even inquire about Platinum's current situation, a notification popped up in Cleveland.

Ms. Lin wants to import some medical research data into Bai Zhi's database. She wants Bai Zhi to be her research assistant after she recovers.

"Let's talk about it after she recovers. Also, tell Bai Zhi that Ms. Lin is prohibited from taking any work until she recovers."

[Received, instructions have been conveyed.]

How long until the drone returns to the ship?

[We expect to return to our ship in 30 minutes and begin transmitting data in 10 minutes.]

"clear."

"Commander, based on the available information, the route map has been planned, but is this shipyard our destination?"

"Yes, although the shipyard is farther away from us, the roads on the east coast are smoother, the air cover is less obstructed, and the route is within the range of the various weapons on the flagship, so we expect to arrive faster."

"Commander, but the situation inside the shipyard is still unclear."

The question Platinum raised was indeed something Lorraine hadn't considered at the moment.

"Cleveland, get me satellite images of the shipyard."

【receive. 】

Lorraine and Platinum began studying the map on the screen.

"The good news is that this is a military shipyard, so the workers inside shouldn't become armed thugs."

"The bad news is that there will be more workers here, so there will also be more zombies?"

Seeing Platinum's furrowed brows, Lorraine voiced her concerns on her behalf.

"Yes."

"It's not a big problem, look here."

Lorraine pointed to a dam on the side of the shipyard.

"The embankment here is vertical, and the water depth should be deep enough for the flagship to drive to the shore. With the off-road capabilities of those two trucks, they should be able to drive up the embankment smoothly due to the height difference between the embankment and the road."

Platinum looked at the spot Lorraine was pointing to.

"It shouldn't be a problem, but how do we get rid of the zombies in the corners of the shipyard?"

Platinum knew that Cleveland could easily control the shipyard's operations, but people always had to be sent in for maintenance, and the zombies lurking in the corners posed a great threat to the maintenance personnel.

"But in reality, our visit to the shipyard is only a temporary stop, and we will not be using the shipbuilding equipment here."

Lorraine shrugged, making a seemingly irresponsible remark, but he knew that the primary objective was to retrieve the sonar equipment from the dock warehouse in the southwest.

"As for the zombies in the corner, we can build some simple unmanned machines to clear them out when we return to the shipyard."

"The important task of designing unmanned machines has been entrusted to Ouyang Nian."
