Chapter 65 Skywatch
Back then, the entire stretch of highway had been eerily quiet–aside from the gas station, there were hardly any zombies in sight.
It was almost certain that the Level 3 zombie had lured the others there to feed on them.
The second factor? Evolution through abilities.
Zombies could develop abilities, too,
And once they did, their power level would skyrocket.
In her past life, Theresa <b>had </b>heard of the most powerful zombie king in the Eastern region–a Level 8 zombie with multiple <b>abilities</b>.
Rumor had it, he had at least three distinct powers.
He ruled the bordends between Ansford, Branford, and Crestmont.
Of course, she had only ever heard about him. She’d never seen him.
She hadn’t earned the right,
In herst life. Theresa had been just an ordinary person–nowhere near qualified for high–levelbat zones. She had always yed it safe, only taking on missions she could surelyplete.
She refused to gamble with her life.
That was why, despite how powerful <b>other </b>ability users were, few ever ousted her.
Theresa was steady. Rock steady.
Never reckless. Never foolish.
Back to the matter at hand–at <b>this </b>stage of the outbreak, most zombies were still Level 1
Higher–level zombies were extremely rare. The Level 3 zombie Theresa had killedst time was already a one–<b>in</b><b>–</b><b>a</b>–million <b>threat</b>.
She nced over her haul: more than 1,100 zombie gleamstones. She exchanged 1,000 of them for points, setting the remaining 100 aside for extracting Evoloid.
Each Level I gleamstone was worth 100 points, and she was eligible for a reward pack.
Ding! Congrattions! You’ve earned 100,400 points!
Adding <b>that </b>to the 30,000 points she already had, she was now approaching a total of 140,000. Theresa rubbed her hands together, practically vibrating with excitement. She had enough!
She rushed to the limited–time offer window and selected the multifunctional unmanned aerial vehicle system
Chapter 65 Skywatch
Then, she hit “redeem.”
Ding! Congrattions! You’ve acquired the multifunctional unmanned aerial vehicle system!
Moments <bter</b>, a sleek, high–tech piece of military–grade equipment materialized in front of her.
Her camp immediately began to shift.
At that moment, the raised tower section on the second floor of Theresa’s camp expandled again, pushing back into the hillside with <b>a </b>footprint nearly half the size of her bunker,
A retractable skylight now sat above the room.
At its center stood a massive control console, positioned right behind Theresa’s crossbow setup.
Twenty–fourpact military unmanned aerial vehicles were neatly arrayed on the central tform.
These UAVs werepact–only slightlyrger than themercial ones sold on the market–but their power was nothing like the hobby–grade models.
They were standard military–grade multifunctional UAVs, built for serious ground control–powerful enough to destroy a main battle tank.
If deployed <b>in </b>an offensive strike, just a few waves of UAV air raids would be enough to give any enemy’s air defense a massive headache.
For one, these aircraft were incredibly small, making them hard to track and prohibitively expensive to take down. The only way to shoot them out of the sky would be with costly anti–air missiles. Even the rtively cheaper shoulder<b>–</b><b>fired </b>systems wouldn’t be <b>worth </b>the trade.
Each missile could cost hundreds of thousands–firing one just to hit a single UAV was like setting money on fire.
And that was assuming one <b>could </bnd the shop on the first try.
Usingrge–caliber anti–aircraft cannons wasn’t much better. If these UAVs flew in tight formation, ground fire wouldn’t be able to intercept all of them. It’d be overkill<b>, </b><b>and </b>stiff not <b>a </b>guaranteed sess.
The most effective method would normally be electronic interference–forcing the UAVs tond or veer off <b>their </b>intended course.
But these were no ordinary aircraft.
This was a reward from the system: a multifunctional unmanned aerial vehicle system. And current electronic jamming technology <b>had </b>no effect on Theresa’s setup.
Deployed across her territory, the unmanned aerial vehicle system would form an airtight, high–powered defensework.
Twenty–four military–grade units, each <b>with </b>an eight–hour battery life, rotated in three shu… Two aircraft monitored each cardinal direction–north, south, east, and west–ensuring 24–<b>hour </b>coverage, nonstop.
There…
gazed at her camp’s insane new defense system, thrilled beyond words. A full day of zombie <b>hunting</b>? Absolutely worth it.
Chapter 65 Skywatch
Then she noticed a shing icon in the system–<b>she </b>had something left to <b>im</b>.
She’d taken down over a thousand zombies and redeemed more than a thousand gleamstones. That <b>also </b>meant she qualified for a reward pack.
She remembered the system prompt: the next reward pack could be unlocked with just 100 gleamstones
Calling <b>Cash </b>over, she gave the dog a firm <b>head </b>rubs, leaving him dazed while Summer barked jealously from the side.
With both dogs in her arms, Theresa opened the reward pack.
Ding! Congrattions! You’ve received pain relief gel!
Ding! Congrattions! You’ve received an Emergency Pill!
Ding! Congrattions! You’ve received 1,000 pounds of fresh <i>beef</i>!
Ding! Congrattions! You’ve received 100 sr panels!
Theresa’s eyes went wide. What a haul!
