Chapter 30: Further In
newed the contract."Gāoyáng said to the evil spirit Yú Měilì.Yu Meili considered for a moment, then nodded. She withdrew a wisp of black demonic energy from her body and once again condensed it into a...The man hadn't expected to be attacked, only managing to use his psychic powers to deflect the bullet aimed at his brow. However, he couldn't dodge the earth spike that pierced his calf, the water arrow that passed through his chest, and the purple lightning sword that struck him in the back of the head.
At the moment of his death, he didn't even know how he had been exposed.
"The task progress is two out of five, congratulations to the tasker for getting one step closer to completing the task."
The speaker's voice echoed in Wu Lianyi's mind.
When the man's body fell to the ground, the rest of them rushed out of the room, especially Sun Yi, who asked in astonishment:
"Is this person problematic"
He is the leader of these apocalyptic lunatics, and because he possesses psychic abilities, he evaded your perception.
Wu Lianyi explained softly.
Sun Yi pondered for a moment, nodding uncertainly. The other teammates were also puzzled, but they didn't ask further questions. A fire-elementalist stepped forward and threw a fireball, reducing the person to ashes.
Once everyone else had dispersed, the Eagle and the Eagle Wing gathered together and directly asked Wu Lianyi:
"Purple Eagle, how did you find out"
"A woman's intuition!"
To be honest!
The captured survivors were all terrified, but he looked healthy, dressed neatly. Though his hastily concocted lies were convincing, there was a faint scent of perfume on him. I ask you, which prisoner would be so particular as to wear perfume
Wu Lianyi explained very seriously.
She wouldn't admit that she recognized the man because she had seen him in her previous life's memories. It was he who, along with Yun Rou, had killed her original self when she had become a level seven zombie.
Besides the god's perspective, this man and Yun Rou together caused quite a stir in this small world. Now that he is dead, her mission progress has advanced significantly. It's clear that eliminating him was the right decision.
"How come I didn't smell it"
The Eagle asked in bewilderment.
"Ugh! Can you tell the difference between Eau de Cologne and Dior perfume"
Wu Lianyi asked directly.
"Is there a difference They all smell awful!"
The Shiba Inu answered very directly.
Wu Lianyi gave him a look of contempt and walked away, unwilling to chat with the steel-straight man.
The next day, the personnel remaining at the resort escorted three researchers to the designated location and reunited with the main force.
Afterwards, a Black Hawk helicopter detached a large truck to transport the survivors to the survivor base in L City. Everyone rested for a day before continuing their journey.
Because the "Mad Cultivator" was removed as a threat, nearby survivors emerged from hiding, carrying their belongings and heading towards the L City survivor base.
The crowd only stayed at the survivor base in L City for three days, replenishing gasoline and other depleting resources, and then continued to move forward. Their main goal was to loot the lair of the post-apocalyptic maniac, as there were many good things in their warehouse.
After Yingyi and several captains discussed, they divided the resources into four parts and handed them over to the space-ability users of each team for safekeeping.
This is to avoid putting all eggs in one basket. If the squad is forced to split up midway, each member will have sufficient supplies. Moreover, it allows everyone involved to see the tangible benefits, making it easier for future collaborative actions.
This decision by Eagle Wing was very beneficial to both the Black Panther Squad and the Sunrise Squad. The military showed genuine sincerity, and they were not treated as cannon fodder, so their progress afterward significantly accelerated, and their cooperation became increasingly seamless.
The convoy advanced for a month without stopping. During this time, many convoys joined and left, joining in search of shelter and leaving because they had reached suitable bases for permanent survivors.
After successfully entering the next province, the squad decided to rest for two days at the nearest K city base.
The K City survivor base wasn't smaller than W City, and the arrival of their large convoy naturally caught the attention of the person in charge of K City. They immediately arranged for someone to investigate their convoy situation and learned that they would be leaving after two days at the base, which finally relieved them.
The squad temporarily rented a three-story building, barely fitting everyone in. They began washing up, organizing their belongings, and then dispersed to gather the necessary supplies.
Three researchers said they also wanted to visit the trading market in K city to see if they could find some equipment. Yingyi arranged a team of six to accompany them, but only allowed two to go out at a time, and one had to stay at the residence. This was for their safety, and the three didn't object.
After packing up, Wu Lianyi took the Sun siblings out to see if there were any worthwhile treasures to exchange.
After the three of them excitedly browsed the entire market, picking up some very practical mutated plants, they returned to their residence. However, upon arrival, they realized that the atmosphere was off.
Eagle Wing saw that Wu Lianyi and the others had returned, so he spoke directly:
Today, Number One and Number Two went out and found a clue about an important research instrument. They want to find that set of instruments, but the mission is difficult.
Wu Lianyi felt a headache coming on. These research bigwigs really knew how to cause trouble for them. She immediately looked at Number One and Number Two (they were given codenames to conceal their real identities).
These two men, whose combined age is close to a hundred, smiled sheepishly at the crowd. They knew this request was asking a lot, but they had to make it.
What level of mission
"S-Class." Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The mastiff crossed its arms and sat on the stool, speaking directly.
"The difficulty is indeed quite high. What exactly is the situation"
Wu Lianyi also walked over and sat down, directly asking Yingyi.
"The top-tier research institute in K City received a distress signal from within. The director organized a rescue team and planned to retrieve all the research data and important equipment back to base."
Unfortunately, all the dispatched soldiers were lost and never returned. However, their distress signals continued, so they sent two more teams to investigate the situation. Both of these teams also disappeared without a trace.
After that, some corpse-collecting teams still didn't believe in the rumors and went to take on the mission. They all disappeared without a trace. Therefore, the mission level has been raised again and again, and it is now at an SS level."
At these words, everyone fell silent. Unknown dangers are the most frightening after all.
"Three elders, do you really need those instruments"
Wu Lianyi asked with a smile.
Number One, Number Two, and Number Three looked at each other, enduring Wu Lianyi's oppressive gaze. The three of them still nodded slightly. Number Three thought for a moment before opening his mouth to explain:
This device can accelerate the extraction of nuclear energy, increasing the usage rate of nuclei. For example, before, a level-zero nucleus could only be fired ten times. Now, with this device, one nucleus can be fired fifty times.
">"""
The meaning is very clear, we must get this batch of equipment.
Let's discuss this further. Why don't you three take a break first!
The eagle spoke directly.
The three men hurried upstairs to rest, while the rest gathered together and began discussing whether or not to take on this mission.hen they encountered masked bandits. Their target was the two sisters. The first attack was blocked by the guards around them, and the rest escorted the two young ladies to the front yard for help.Jus...
