Chapter 69

In a side room of the Ganwang Mansion, which has been transformed rather oddly, several monitors and other electronic devices have been added amidst the antique furniture. Zhang Hao is sitting beside the monitors, his appearance and posture somewhat peculiar.

He turns his head and focuses intently on the images displayed on the monitors. His arms, wrapped in three layers of airtight anti-biological suits, are extended into the time portal. From the images on other monitors, one can see the scenes from the "I Am Legend" world on the other side of the time portal.

On the other side, Zhang Hao, dressed in airtight layers, operates a remote control in his hands.

A remote-controlled aircraft is flying in the air, heading towards the distance. The aircraft is equipped with a wired camera, transmitting real-time images to the monitors in the room. There are also several cameras on the other side of the time portal, displaying images from various directions on other monitors.

Zhang Hao went through all this trouble because he has already activated the beacon ability, which allows him to collect more resources from the "I Am Legend" world. Although it is troublesome, he does not mind.

He originally considered modifying a wired remote-controlled aircraft, which would eliminate the need to insert his arms through several layers of anti-biological suits into the "I Am Legend" world. However, even if such a modification were possible, he would still need to insert his arms to collect resources, so he abandoned the idea.

Although it seems to provide a higher level of safety, it is not much better and seems redundant. Several layers of anti-biological suits should be sufficient to ensure safety.

Yes, Zhang Hao has already activated the beacon ability.

Since opening the "I Am Legend" world, he has fought several major battles, occupying Jingzhou, Xuzhou, and Yuzhou, severely weakening the Han Dynasty. This has earned him a lot of temporal energy. Additionally, the number of believers in the Ziwēi Sect he established is increasing, providing a significant amount of faith energy.

The beacon ability has many uses, and this time, Zhang Hao did not hesitate to activate it.

Using the beacon ability to collect resources from the "I Am Legend" world was an idea he had earlier, and now he is putting it into practice.

"Slow down, slow down, yes," Zhang Hao murmured softly, a smile appearing on his face. The remote-controlled aircraft, equipped with the beacon, has already stopped above the armored vehicle he saw last time.

Zhang Hao quickly retrieved the monitors and other items from the other side of the time portal, disconnected the camera from the remote-controlled aircraft, and threw it into the time portal.

He then closed the time portal and reopened it using the beacon's signal, this time placing it next to the armored vehicle. After checking the situation with the camera, he extended his arm, activated his mental power, and the armored vehicle was stored in his storage space.

Like the time portal, the storage space cannot support living organisms, so there is no need to worry about viruses entering the storage space, as they would be killed instantly.

This is why Zhang Hao thought of using this method to collect resources from the "I Am Legend" world.

After removing the anti-biological suits from his arms, Zhang Hao stretched his arms. To be honest, being wrapped in three layers of airtight suits is far from comfortable. However, with his increasingly profound qi cultivation and extraordinary physical condition, he has strong control. For ordinary people, operating a remote control in such a situation would be difficult.

Moreover, this action has some issues. The remote-controlled aircraft, equipped with a wired camera, is affected in its flight. Although it can still fly, both its range and balance are compromised. He needs to find a way to solve this problem.

Zhang Hao called the owner of the electronics market where he bought the remote-controlled aircraft and got a solution: using a signal repeater. This way, he only needs to equip the remote-controlled aircraft with a camera, without the need for a wired connection.

He plans to buy a signal repeater and see how it works.

It's a bit of a pity. Zhang Hao thought as he looked at the situation in the "I Am Legend" world through the camera.

According to the time rate, two months have passed in the "I Am Legend" world. Without human presence and with the effects of wind and sun, the cars and other resources on the road look much older. However, without absolute safety, Zhang Hao would never enter that world.

He hopes the armored vehicle will not have any issues, as there is no place to repair it if it does.

Zhang Hao went directly to the training ground outside the city, a spacious valley specifically set up for training commanders and bodyguards in firearms. Here, he retrieved the imposing eight-wheeled armored vehicle from his storage space.

After checking the information, Zhang Hao knew this was an American Stryker armored vehicle.

The bodyguards were somewhat shocked by the large vehicle, but they had seen some images and adapted. Zhang Hao carefully examined the vehicle and found that the heavy machine gun and grenade launcher on the armored vehicle had some rust, likely needing maintenance to be operational.

The good news is that the armored vehicle can still move, and there are some firearms and ammunition inside, all standard U.S. military equipment.

He specifically went back to the modern world to find some vehicle and firearm maintenance knowledge and had the bodyguards clean and maintain the armored vehicle.

Excitedly, he drove the vehicle around the training ground twice. He thought that if this vehicle were used in a war, it would have a significant impact, but it would be somewhat unfair.

Using cannons and other firearms to bully people of this era is already somewhat dishonorable. If he also deploys the armored vehicle and bodyguards equipped with automatic rifles, wouldn't it be too much?

Well, this is his advantage, so why not use it? Moreover, the greater the advantage and the larger the gap, the faster the war can end, which is a benefit. Zhang Hao thought shamelessly, and thus he began to consider when to deploy these advanced military weapons.

These matters can be discussed later. First, Zhang Hao went to the modern world to get a signal repeater and tested its effectiveness. Feeling satisfied, he resumed collecting resources, as he felt a bit heartbroken seeing the cars and other resources exposed to the elements.

On the road, using the remote-controlled aircraft and storage space, Zhang Hao collected many different types of vehicles. Although many needed to be cleaned of corpses and other debris, it was not a big issue. Without the virus, there was no danger, and in the Three Kingdoms era, people were not unfamiliar with corpses, especially since most were just mummies or bones.

In addition to the vehicles, Zhang Hao also collected various items, including different types of firearms, luggage, documents, mobile phones, electronic products, banknotes, lighters, and more.

From the documents and license plates, Zhang Hao learned the current location of the time portal in the "I Am Legend" world.

It turned out to be in Florida, quite a distance from New York, where the movie's plot takes place.

One can imagine that during the virus outbreak in the "I Am Legend" world, the situation must have been extremely chaotic. The road was densely packed with cars and people, all trying to escape from America. However, most did not make it, and even if they did, it would have been futile.

In such a situation, police, National Guard, and military forces would have been mobilized to maintain order. There were many police cars and military vehicles on the road. Zhang Hao collected five Stryker armored vehicles, as well as other types of military and police vehicles.

Unfortunately, he saw a few helicopters, but they were all crashed.

Overall, the harvest was considerable, but Zhang Hao was not particularly happy.

Looking at the pile of luxury items on the table, emitting various colors, Zhang Hao smiled and walked over, casually handling them. Watches, diamond-encrusted phones, diamond-encrusted lighters, and various jewels. If these items were brought to the modern world, they would likely astonish those familiar with luxury brands.

But to Zhang Hao, they were casually thrown together.

These were the results of his efforts over the past few days. During the mass exodus, people would take their valuables with them. Even the wealthy did not receive much more favorable treatment than the poor during the exodus, so he obtained many valuable items.

Initially, Zhang Hao used these items to boost his spirits, as collecting resources in this manner was extremely tedious. Moreover, due to concerns about the virus, every action became extremely troublesome.

At first, it felt like an adventure and a secret mission, but after the novelty wore off, he found it hard to endure.

Moreover, the efficiency was not high. This was only possible on an important road; in other places, it would be much more difficult.

What should he do? Zhang Hao thought carefully.

Right, there are survivors in the "I Am Legend" world. Some of them, who do not have antibodies, seem to be in the northern cold regions, though this is not confirmed in the movie. However, those with antibodies do exist, and although they face difficulties from the Night Demons, the number of survivors should still be significant. If he could contact the survivors and get them to work for him, it would be much more convenient.

However, this method is not without its challenges. It is uncertain whether he can find survivors, but convincing them to work should not be too difficult.

Life in that world is harsh. If Zhang Hao offers them a safe place to live in exchange for their work, they would not refuse.

A safe place is simple; he can bring them to the Three Kingdoms world. Those with antibodies will not be infected, and any viruses on their clothes would be killed when passing through the time portal.

Regardless, this method is worth a try. Zhang Hao decided to prepare a radio transmitter to send messages.

With a decision made, he left the room without further hesitation.
