For the next two days, Wang Yu spent time with Hu Niu and Yu Xin Ci, and others.
He also pondered his next plan.
Outside, things would proceed as planned: first, transfer to Haixin Normal University and bring Su Wan'er under his wing.
Then, quickly slaughter the zombies in the Normal University to collect their crystal cores.
After that, head to Haichen Garden and establish it as the official base.
Haichen Garden was located in the northeast corner of Haidian Island District, which was also the northeast corner of Haixin City.
Establishing the base here would allow him to train combat personnel while clearing zombies throughout Haidian Island.
This was the safest and most secure approach.
Haidian Island was bordered by the sea on three sides, with only a cross-sea bridge to the west and the south providing access to other areas of Haixin City.
Once the zombies on Haidian Island were cleared, the entire island would become Wang Yu's base.
Moreover, it was a strategically advantageous location that was easy to defend and difficult to attack!
As long as the cross-sea bridge to the west was blocked, and a city wall was built to the south.
Then, the entire Haidian Island would become an impregnable, safe city!
Looking at all the cities on Nanhai Island, none possessed such exceptionally favorable conditions.
There might be other places on Nanhai Island that bordered the sea on multiple sides, but none had better infrastructure than Haidian Island.
Because it was an administrative district of the provincial capital, Haixin City, and a relatively prosperous one.
Therefore, it was an excellent location in the early stages of the apocalypse, highly suitable for establishing a city.
Once the city walls were built, Wang Yu could gradually expand his influence throughout Haixin City.
On the other side, there was nothing more to develop in the secret realm for now.
Currently, they were still planting rice and cultivating spirit grains.
A large river flowed through the middle of the secret realm, with plains on both banks dotted with numerous tributaries, making it very suitable for rice cultivation.
Wang Yu hoped to develop a type of rice, similar to the异果 (Yi Guo), that could enhance physical fitness. This was very important.
Whether supplied to his own base or sold to other bases in the future, it would be immensely useful.
Of course, it had not yet been successfully developed.
He had only harvested tens of tons of ordinary rice.
This was within Wang Yu's expectations, as cultivating something like spirit grains would certainly not be easy.
However, he was not in a hurry. The accelerated time flow in the secret realm provided ample time for agricultural professors to conduct their research.
In addition, there was another very important resource in the secret realm that could be utilized.
That was the demonic beasts!
Now that Hu Niu had successfully transformed, Wang Yu could look for another demonic beast to cultivate.
Although the 化灵仙草 (Hua Ling Xian Cao) had miraculous effects, allowing demonic beasts to transform quickly and with a hundred percent success rate, its cultivation targets were not unlimited.
It could only cultivate them one by one.
Otherwise, the effect and progress of aiding transformation would be difficult to guarantee.
There were three major demonic beast tribes in the secret realm: the White Tiger, the Crimson Flood Dragon, and the Cloud Fox.
According to the description in the book obtained from the cave at the beginning.
The Crimson Flood Dragon was massive, growing to tens of丈 (zhang) in adulthood, with a dark red body, a pair of horns on its head, and capable of spewing flames from its mouth.
The Cloud Fox lived on snow-capped peaks, its entire body was snow-white, its nature was cunning, and it could control ice and snow.
Listening to their descriptions, both of these demonic beasts sounded extremely powerful, and Wang Yu greatly desired to cultivate a pure one for transformation.
But Hu Niu's current power also impressed him.
The White Tiger tribe excelled in strength and defense.
When Wang Yu rode Hu Niu through the zombie hordes before, the zombies' sharp claws could not harm Hu Niu at all.
Although Hu Niu's human form had not yet been tested, it was likely much stronger than Wang Yu's current defensive capabilities. Wang Yu (看書喇 - This is likely a placeholder or irrelevant text, ignoring it.)
Wang Yu could not yet achieve invulnerability to blades and spears, but his skin was already quite tough; a not-so-sharp fruit knife could hardly scratch his skin.
When he stepped on a nail while entering Feng Qing's villa before, an ordinary person's foot would surely have been pierced.
But Wang Yu wasn't, he only felt some pain in the sole of his foot.
Therefore, Hu Niu's skin should be able to achieve invulnerability to blades. As for bullets, that was uncertain.
However, Wang Yu would not use Hu Niu for experiments.
After all, such a young... and beautiful girl, more stunning than any anime character, who would shoot her?
What if she got hurt?
Wang Yu would be the one to feel heartache, so there was no need to test it.
He would try to keep her away from the threat of firearms in the future.
After much deliberation, Wang Yu still hadn't decided which demonic beast to cultivate next.
He felt that both the Crimson Flood Dragon and the Cloud Fox were excellent choices, and choosing another White Tiger to accompany Hu Niu would also be good.
"Sigh, too many choices is also a form of trouble!"
In the end, Wang Yu decided to wait until after he secured Haichen Garden.
He would spend more time cultivating his relationship with Hu Niu first, especially since she had just transformed into human form and wasn't yet adept at being human.
Their bond wasn't that deep yet. Although demonic beasts that recognized a master would never betray, and he had just witnessed her transformation, Wang Yu was considering finding the next demonic beast.
This... seemed a bit like being a player, right?
Wasn't a stray cat more appealing than a house cat?
"No, no," Wang Yu shook his head, dispelling such absurd thoughts.
Animals were just animals. Before they transformed into human form, they were simply animals.
Raising several cats or dogs wasn't a normal thing?
Besides, Wang Yu was already a player, wasn't he? Otherwise, how could he have attracted so many top-tier beauties in the apocalypse?
Therefore, Wang Yu's mindset returned to normal.
"I'm not a player, I just want to give every stunning woman a warm home in the apocalypse!"
