Chapter 86

"Listen, I have a question," said Terry, the communications soldier of the National Guard, seeing Zhang Hao nod, he asked,

"Your Highness, I want to know how we will live in this world. For example, do we still have to live in that, um, Tongyi Pavilion? Can we choose our own place to live? And will there be any restrictions on our outings?"

Clearly, Terry didn't know how to describe the Tongyi Pavilion in English, so he used the term the officials used, which sounded quite awkward.

But it's unknown how they would feel once they became familiar with the fact that they were treated as 'barbarians.'

"Of course not, if you are not used to the Tongyi Pavilion. I can arrange other accommodations for you. As for restrictions, there won't be any. However, to help you complete your work, those who need to search for supplies should not leave this city too far. If you want to go out and tour this world, it's best to let me know in advance, and I will arrange guards and guides for you. Don't think I'm sending people to monitor you; there's no need for that. The reason is that your appearance is too distinctive in this era and this world. My people may be quite cold towards foreigners, so having a guide is important to avoid any unpleasant situations," Zhang Hao replied.

"I also have a question," Officer Linda said, "I know a bit of Chinese and history, and I really want to know what's going on in this world. From what others say, it seems to be the Han Dynasty. Is this over a thousand years ago? But damn it, why are the people in this era so powerful? Not to mention your seemingly martial arts-like abilities, even the ordinary soldiers are so strong. How is that possible?!"

"Uh, Officer Linda, I understand the history you're talking about. But I can't explain your question. Perhaps the concept of parallel universes that I've read about can serve as an answer. However, these are not important, right?" Zhang Hao raised an eyebrow.

He was somewhat surprised that Linda not only knew Chinese but also had some knowledge of ancient Chinese history, which was quite rare.

Linda was stunned, and after a while, she lowered her head speechlessly, "Alright, this question is indeed not important."

"By the way, I almost forgot. I will provide you with some currency from this world to make your life easier," Zhang Hao patted his forehead and said.

Perhaps it was Zhang Hao's promise that was powerful, or perhaps they had no other choice but to accept their fate. In any case, these survivors seemed quite calm.

This unfamiliar yet safe world made them curious, especially since they had seen Linda's questions and Zhang Hao's mysterious behavior.

In the following days, after Zhang Hao arranged new accommodations for them in the city, these survivors began to tour Luoyang with great interest.

Zhang Hao, on the other hand, returned to the modern world to spend the New Year with his family. Because of Zhang Hao's 'success,' the family had a very happy New Year.

Due to the various affairs in the Three Kingdoms world, after the Spring Festival, Zhang Hao did not stay long at home. Since it was convenient to return at any time, he went back to Qinzhou.

He brought the small private helicopter he bought after learning to fly it, as well as the long-handled life detector and other items he had ordered, to the Three Kingdoms world.

This guy couldn't help but take Cai Yan, Diaochan, and others for a ride in the helicopter. Clearly, the appearance of the helicopter in this world was quite shocking to some people. It would likely be seen as a symbol of the Great Qian's divine mandate by the common people.

Cai Yan, Diaochan, and others were initially a bit frightened but soon began to experience this unprecedented feeling.

Even Huang Zhong and others were somewhat envious, so Zhang Hao took them for a flight. He then let Mike and others get used to the helicopter.

Additionally, after receiving these survivors, Zhang Hao had sent people to build large warehouses. With ample manpower and resources, they were already taking shape, and some could be used勉强. However, these warehouses were only temporary, mostly constructed with modern materials.

After all preparations were made, the survivors, who had fully rested, began their first search for supplies.

This time, only Major Gray and Mike went to the "I Am Legend" world, mainly because the helicopter Zhang Hao brought was too small to carry more people.

So the primary goal this time was the National Guard base, to bring back some large military helicopters to facilitate subsequent exploration.

Both were members of the National Guard, well-coordinated and familiar with the terrain, making them a good team.

The portal appeared on the parade ground, quickly expanding. Once it was large enough for the helicopter to pass through, Zhang Hao stopped expanding it.

Mike, who was piloting the helicopter, and Major Gray made a gesture to the survivors below. Amid their concerns and blessings, the helicopter flew directly into the portal.

Zhang Hao had already prepared cameras, and at this moment, the survivors gathered around the computer screens, relieved to see the helicopter safely appear on the other side. Major Gray gave a thumbs up to the camera and then flew off into the distance.

Now, all that was left to do was wait for the signal from Gray and Mike.

Compared to the tension of the other survivors, Zhang Hao was quite calm. After all, even if those two had problems, there were still over a dozen survivors here.

However, it was clear that Zhang Hao had made thorough preparations. The life detector and various weapons were sufficient to ensure a certain level of safety.

After a little over three hours, Zhang Hao received the signal. The signal was a way of conveying information by forming numbers or shapes with a beacon badge, similar to the methods used by intelligence agents in the past.

The beacon's ability could be upgraded further, allowing direct communication across time and space, and even allowing Zhang Hao to observe the surroundings through the beacon. This would be much more convenient.

But upgrading the beacon's ability required a lot of temporal energy, and since it wasn't absolutely necessary, Zhang Hao planned to wait until he had conquered more worlds before investing in the upgrade.

He opened the portal and first passed the cameras and other items through. Gray's voice came through.

"There's no danger here. It looks like some monsters appeared, but after eating everything in the base, they left. Those damn things," Gray's face was hard, but his voice trembled.

Clearly, thinking about his former colleagues being eaten by those monsters was not a pleasant experience.

"Mike and I just searched the base. Since many people were out maintaining order with their equipment, the base's equipment is not complete, but it's enough to arm two regiments. There are not many helicopters and armored vehicles left, but the tanks and transport planes are mostly intact."

Zhang Hao saw Gray next to an armed helicopter through the camera. Without much ado, he put on a biohazard suit, reached his arm into the portal, and directly stored the helicopter in his storage space.

To collect these supplies, he had expanded his storage space again.

Gray and Mike, wearing the beacon badges, moved through the National Guard base's equipment and hangar. Zhang Hao quickly transferred the base's various equipment and devices to the Three Kingdoms world through the storage space.

As the sky in the "I Am Legend" world was getting dark, Zhang Hao directly brought the two back. After all, the base was almost cleaned up.

In the specially constructed warehouse, Zhang Hao looked at the steel weapons, feeling both satisfied and regretful. While the well-preserved weapons were fine, the condition of some of the larger equipment like helicopters was quite average. Those stored in the hangar were better, but those exposed to the elements were rusted.

Although Zhang Hao had brought various maintenance equipment, there was no one to maintain and care for these large machines.

Mike, the pilot, knew a bit about maintenance, but he was no expert. For now, they had to make do.

Zhang Hao specially selected some soldiers to have Mike teach them how to maintain these machines.

Given the situation at this National Guard base, it was likely that other bases were similar. Previously, Zhang Hao could console himself that he couldn't reach or use these things, so there was no need to feel bad. But now, with the help of these survivors, he considered all the resources in that world as his own. Seeing his things being wasted and likely to continue being neglected in the short term was not a pleasant feeling.

In short, Zhang Hao was both happy and regretful. But since there was nothing he could do, he had to think positively.

The first mission went smoothly, setting a good precedent. Zhang Hao gave them a break, as he had received a report that Zhao Yun's army had met with Ding Yuan's forces. He wanted to witness the prowess of the greatest warrior in the world.

If Zhang Hao was not around, the search for supplies could not continue, as the portal was the foundation of everything.
