For Tang Wenjie now, weaving a metal net is not difficult, it is just a matter of turning the metal into thin filaments and then cross-melting them. However, if he relies on the metal from his life weapon to weave the net, it is definitely not enough.

He melted the iron plate in the living room for practicing supernatural powers, but still felt it was not enough, so he asked Song Kaiji for some metal - Song Kaiji had previously specially gone to the amusement park and dismantled two facilities just for him to use for practice.

From this perspective, this method is not applicable to all gold-type psychics: if they use local materials, who can be sure that there is something at the destination? Does a gold-type psychic have to carry a large piece of metal when he goes on a mission? It is impossible to carry a large amount of metal, so there must be a space-type psychic beside him to cooperate with him.

After practicing for a few hours, Tang Wenjie felt that he had mastered the technique of quickly condensing the iron net. He even felt that he didn't need to condense it on site, as that would be a waste of time and consume too much energy at one time, and he was afraid of any mistakes. It would be better to condense a semi-finished product at home and put it in Song Kaiji's space, and then take it out to modify the shape when he arrived at the site.

After practicing several times at home, everyone was very satisfied with the results.

Song Kaiji and Tang Wenjie don't know how to drive, and they originally planned to enroll in a driving school after they had fewer classes in their senior year. Qu Weiwei did enroll in a driving school: "Let me put it this way, I have no problem driving and driving on the road, but I'm not good at reversing into a parking space because I don't have a license. Anyway, there are no traffic police now, so why would they care how I park? Don't be afraid, just sit still."

Song Kaiji: "...If you can't even pass the reverse parking test, then you can't even pass the test 3? How can you guarantee that you can drive without any problems if you haven't even driven on the road before?"

Qu Weiwei shook her hair and said, "Don't worry about it! Are you really going to ride a bicycle with people riding in front and zombies chasing behind? Is this safe?"

But can this be ignored?! Song Kaiji complained in his heart. It was so unfair that he finally developed a metal mesh strategy that would not be hit by zombies, but ended up getting stuck on the car! He turned around and discussed with Shen Qing: "Why don't I go out and hire someone to drive. This mission is not dangerous and the distance is short. It's not expensive if the person hired only drives."

Shen Qing had no objection: "Okay, you have the final say."

Song Kaiji was very pleased with Shen Qing's full delegation of power, and brought someone with him the next day: This person was not a stranger, but the person who had come to the base with Song Kaiji. The three of them were trapped in the store together and came to Hongcheng Base together. One of them died on the way, and the remaining one was this person.

The car rental company can also provide a rental driver, but Song Kaiji still felt that it would be better to hire someone he was familiar with, so he found him.

"Let me introduce you. This is Xing Ye, an ordinary person, and the driver for this operation." Song Kaiji turned to Xing Ye and said, "This is our boss, and my other two teammates Qu Weiwei and Tang Wenjie. When we get to the location, you can go on the mission with us, or you can stay in the car. Don't stay too far away from us when you are on the mission. We will try our best to ensure your safety."

Song Kaiji paused and said, "Also, don't tell anyone else what you saw during our mission today."

Xing Ye nodded repeatedly. He was an ordinary person, and was lucky to be able to come to Hongcheng Base with Song Kaiji. In addition, he came early, so the entrance fee was not too expensive, and he found a job in the base. But as more and more people came to the base, the living space of ordinary people was repeatedly compressed, and life was not easy.

He was very grateful that Song Kaiji came to him for this extra money: "I will keep it a secret!"

Besides, keeping secrets is not uncommon for all special teams. Which special team does not require confidentiality when hiring temporary personnel? Who would want outsiders to know about their team's affairs?

Song Kaiji nodded and counted the supplies they were going to bring this time: the metal that Tang Wenjie requested, the vine seeds that Qu Weiwei had selected, and the crossbows that he and Shen Qing were going to use... and finally, a large bag of food that Tang's mother had prepared for them. The variety and quantity were so great that it didn't feel like they were going on a mission, but rather a spring outing.

Tang's mother even wanted to go with them at one point: "I can drive! Why don't you let me go with you... If you don't believe me, ask Xiaojie. I used to drive when we went out to dinner with relatives. I'm a very good driver."

During family dinners, Tang Wenjie's father inevitably drinks some wine. Just for this, she learned to drive and her skills are quite good.

She is not the kind of person who just wants to hide in the base, rely on her family to support her and survive by sucking their blood! Although Shen Qing, the boss, is very generous and never urges them to go on missions, and only asks her to make all kinds of delicious food. But Tang's mother does not want to be a burden to them, and also wants to make a contribution to the team: "Even if I can't kill zombies, I can dig crystal cores. Leave this kind of trivial work to me!"

Song Kaiji and his team had never thought of keeping Mother Tang in the base for her whole life. In the current environment, this would harm her. People still need to master more skills to better survive in this apocalypse. However, this is the first time they have implemented this metal net strategy. Although it looks very safe, who knows what problems will arise in actual operation. Mother Tang is older and her reaction is not as fast as that of young people. It is better for her to stay at home this time. It will not be too late to take her out on a mission when their skills are mature.

After much persuasion, Song Kaiji finally calmed Tang's mother down and said, "Before, I didn't want to spend the night outside when on a mission, and I often went out to set up a stall just to find out about my family. This time when I go out, auntie has to help me be more careful so that I and my family won't miss each other." Although the distance is relatively short, there is no guarantee that he can go and come back the same day. He might have to spend a night at the school.

Shen Qing also said: "Auntie, I brought pig's trotters and chicken this time. I want to eat the magical chicken you saved in your phone. You can come next time. This time, cook a table of delicious dishes for us at home to celebrate our victory in the first battle. I will take you there next time."

Shen Qing and Song Kaiji both said so, so Mother Tang had no choice but to agree: "Okay then, Weiwei, please leave me some more dishes before you leave, and I will sell them outside as usual tomorrow - but you have to take me with you next time!"

So Song Kaiji packed up the things, and the group set out on their first mission. Qu Weiwei sat in the passenger seat, not squeezing with the three men, and the five of them just filled up the car. Except for Xing Ye, everyone was somewhat excited: they hadn't been on a mission for a long time, especially Tang Wenjie, who hadn't really fought zombies since he awakened his superpowers.

Shen Qing was even more curious: he had only seen it from a distance before, and this was his first time sitting in a car. The seats in this car were so soft, and the speed was so fast! Shen Qing leaned against the car window and looked at the scenery outside with curiosity for a while - this was also his first time to see the world outside the base.

The road was so wide, the buildings on the roadside were so tall, and some roads were actually suspended in the sky: When the car got on the elevated road, Shen Qing's heart was also suspended. Song Kaiji also asked with concern: "Why do you keep looking out the window? Are you afraid of motion sickness?"

He was a little annoyed that he had not thought it through carefully. If he had known that Shen Qing suffered from motion sickness, he should have let Shen Qing sit in the front.

Qu Weiwei also turned around and asked with concern: "Do you want to change seats?"

Shen Qing had no idea what motion sickness was, so he made up a few random excuses, then touched the leather seat and asked Song Kaiji, "This car is so good, can't we buy one ourselves? Do we have to rent it every time?"

"That's not the case." In fact, cars are very cheap in the apocalypse. You'll know after driving a long distance that there are many unwanted cars on the roadside. In the apocalypse, gasoline is actually expensive. In addition, not every team has space, so they need a parking space. These are much more expensive than the car itself, so everyone is used to renting a car. Anyway, because the car is cheap, it doesn't cost much to rent a car, and it also saves the repair and cleaning after each mission.

However, seeing Shen Qing's look, Song Kaiji's face showed a touch of tenderness: "But if you like, we will pick up two good ones and take them back later."

Shen Qing nodded vigorously.
