Global Abyss: My Skills Can Enhance Infinitely

"It’s only been half a year..., what a big change."

Tao Yu looked at the expanding base, the airport that had been repaired, and the several transport planes on the airport, his face also showing a trace of emotion.

Although Panda had found a shortcut to the Monster World and made a fortune.

But after all, Las Vegas itself also had other places with transport planes; even if they had been grounded for so long and might need maintenance, by now, it was normal to have gathered some capable repair personnel.

The airport runway was also pre-existing.

"Although Las Vegas went heavily into industrialization, the military and high-end systems are still there. It’s just not known how much is left after having gone through an apocalypse."

Tao Yu remembered how Las Vegas’s several aircraft carriers had been laid up one after another, and now to pick up a shoddy Las Vegas and the remaining talents, it was kind of a stretch to maintain and fix a few big planes, but it was very impressive.

He guessed that parts were probably being patched together to keep things going, and the situation would likely keep declining until the new Development Zone fully completed industrialization and connected with it, which would probably take a long time...

Although Tao Yu came back with the young heiress, he didn’t head directly to their place. Not to mention he was already done for, even if he still had the energy, he didn’t want to make it so obvious, especially now that other Floating City people had arrived in the Development Zone. He still needed to be cautious.

"The base hasn’t expanded much in terms of usage area, the main thing is that the original spaces inside have all been utilized. Las Vegas, on the other hand, has become a production center and a major supply rear..."

Walking inside the base, Tao Yu noticed that the order within the base had become much more regulated, with designated areas for setting up stalls and for forming teams looking well-organized.

And in the base, the number of people leading Aliens had clearly increased. In addition to the thick chains, the Alien’s tails were also fixed onto their bodies, and all had headgear on their heads, probably because there were too many biting incidents leading to some new regulations.

And to be honest, with all the Aliens ’uniformly dressed,’ it really did give off a dog-walking vibe.

Now that wild Aliens had become rarer, there’s probably no need to worry about accidental injuries anymore.

At this moment, several loudspeakers inside the base were continuously broadcasting reminders and warnings about things that were easy to mess up.

’...The base no longer offers extra rewards to ordinary residents. Ordinary residents, please head to Las Vegas, where the zombies have been cleared. If you have skills in electrical work, welding, bricklaying, car maintenance, mechanical repair, etc., you may receive special talent introduction rewards. Specific rewards will be decided based on actual conditions...’

’Do not urinate or defecate in public, do not urinate or defecate in public...’

It seems some of the bad habits developed outside the city have not been resolved so quickly.

And, unlike at the beginning when it was easy to obtain a residency slot, Tao Yu now saw people setting up tents and even makeshift sheds on the outskirts of the base.

For Pioneers, even if there may be ready-made mansions in Las Vegas, they still prefer to set their base of return close to the base, even if it’s just in a dog’s kennel.

After all, safety is always the priority in the Abyss!

So, Tao Yu made his way towards Jack’s dormitory, passing through the bustling stall area and hearing various hawkers shouting.

Some shouted themselves, while others managed to get loudspeakers capable of replaying their messages. The stalls were all within the white lines drawn on the ground, with a garish and varied array of items.

And among them, firearms were the most abundant!

The military spirit of Las Vegas was fully demonstrated.

In the past, a handgun could probably sell for a hundred Yuan Force, but now Tao Yu estimated that the oversupply of firearms in the new Development Zone had started to cause a backlash in the present world.

Had it not been for different bullet calibers, the price of ordinary firearms in the present world would probably have plummeted to rock bottom.

"The bullet production line Panda targeted is indeed pretty good; no matter how many guns there are, they’re useless without bullets."

In his heart, Tao Yu still quite approved of Panda’s discernment.

"Take a look, the rare Alien mouth that can create an Assassin Skill, only fifty Yuan Force, fifty! Miss this opportunity, and there won’t be another! Collect it yourself, assemble a set of skills, and it’s a huge bargain."

"Two Alien tails for sale, real cheap, only five more than direct absorption." Experience exclusive tales on empire

"A complete selection of firearms, feel free to choose."

"Casings, reloadable ammunition, all cheap."

"Any takers for dried Alien meat? Acid and toxins removed, may not taste good, but it replenishes Qi-Blood and boosts virility."

"..."

As Tao Yu looked around, he truly found that there were all kinds of goods for sale. And at the stall selling Alien meat, there were indeed a few onlookers.

```

"Heh, anything related to boosting virility does sell well."

Tao Yu glanced at it and, using his own abilities, concluded that it was all a bunch of nonsense. He shook his head and walked away.

Before Tao Yu reached Jack’s house, however, he unexpectedly saw this big-nosed man in a hurry, carrying a roll of blueprints under his arm and wearing a white safety helmet, heading towards a construction site.

The key thing was that wherever he went, people greeted him, not just the original residents but the Pioneers as well.

"Supervisor Jack, good to see you."

"Mr. Jack."

"Jack~" n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"..."

Jack could only nod hastily in response, until he heard a familiar voice and thought he was hallucinating.

When he turned his head subconsciously to look, he didn’t believe his eyes upon seeing that handsome figure, and after rubbing his eyes to make sure he wasn’t mistaken, he burst into laughter,

"You little rascal, I thought you died out there; haven’t seen you in over half a year."

Jack stopped in his tracks and then walked over to Tao Yu.

"Didn’t I leave you a message? Man, you’ve got quite the presence."

Tao Yu thumped Jack’s chest, his eyes lighting up slightly,

"Not bad, you’ve already mastered the Yuan Force."

"Of course, killing so many Aliens every day, how could I not? Otherwise, it would be a waste," replied Jack with a fair bit of pride. Being a Chosen One, Jack had a high conversion rate for Yuan Force, but lacked the ability to gather it. Fortunately, with the initial start of alien breeding, he had no problem taking down Aliens daily!

Due to the Aliens’ mass production capabilities, his strength was increasing even faster than most Pioneers.

From the feedback from the punch Tao Yu had just thrown, it was evident that Yuan Force was coursing through Jack’s entire body. In the new Development Zone, there probably weren’t many Pioneers who could surpass his mastery of Yuan Force.

"Go ahead with your business. I’ve got something good for you; better start training soon, as another big wave of competitors is on their way," said Tao Yu, waving his hand at him.

Jack immediately passed the blueprints he was carrying to the black man, Senke, standing beside him.

"Then what the hell am I waiting for, let’s hurry."

He also didn’t forget to turn to Senke and say,

"Senke, it’s in your hands now."

"Got it, boss Jack, boss Tao, don’t forget about me when you’re reaping the benefits," Senke replied with a grin, greeting Tao Yu.

He too had practiced Myriad Streams Five Forms, but alas, he wasn’t a Chosen One and was getting on in years, so his progress was very slow. For now, he could only be considered to have barely grasped the basics of the Forms.

The journey to harness Qi-Blood was still long and possibly unreachable in his lifetime!

This was the gap between ordinary residents and the Chosen Ones, a gap that seemed impossible to bridge...

Meanwhile, the others nearby were quite surprised to see Tao Yu, a new face, who had just turned up and whisked Jack away.

"Who’s that? Never seen him before."

"I’ve been here quite a while myself."

"Didn’t Mr. Jack just say? He’s not been seen for six months, one of the earliest Pioneers."

"Ah, the earliest batch really had it good, getting along with the Chosen Ones. Unlike now, there are too many people wanting to make connections..."

"Don’t you see the death rate? I’m actually glad I was born a bit later. The Aliens have been cleaned up specifically, otherwise, if an Alien jumped on your face, what could you do to survive..."
