Chapter 69 Reappearance of Civilization

The truth is that Rong Yi's prediction was very accurate. From the moment they obtained the book, the viewers in the live chat rushed to other players in the same instance to spread the news to the world, wishing that players all over the world would come and snatch it from her.

Before Wei Yanqing could react, her face suddenly darkened. "What?"

Rong Yi sighed, "It's nothing, I was just thinking about the audience."

A single suggestion made him instantly understand Rong Yi's predicament: "Actually, there are no spectators. Players who pay attention to inquiring about information will know that we have good stuff. We just need to deal with whatever comes our way."

Rong Yi relaxed and thought about it carefully, and realized that made sense. "But they are still very annoyed."

Like flies buzzing around, they can't be driven away and keep buzzing. Luckily, she can block the bullet comments, otherwise she would probably be on the verge of losing control all the time.

On the other side, the audience first informed Xu Ziqiang and others about the book, as they happened to be at the same base, followed by other player groups within the base.

Rong Yi and his group had only been gone for a day and a night, but there were already over a hundred more players in the base, and many more were heading this way.

"They got their hands on the first volume, and this is the second." The female player with pigtails held up a book that was almost half the thickness of her palm, with the title page "Complete Collection of New Drug Formulas (Part Two)".

Another mission location in Kangtai District was cleared out by them; they moved all the items, but the mission didn't show as completed.

Upon seeing Wu Junzhi's beaming face, they learned that Rong Yi and Wei Yanqing had sold them a complete set of assembly line equipment, including raw materials, at a low price.

This is something to pay attention to. To this end, Xu Ziqiang tried to learn from Rong Yi and the others' methods, and sure enough, he was notified that the mission was over and then received the book.

"It seems that contribution points mainly come from side quest rewards. No wonder these quests are issued. If the people here were to write these books on their own, it would take at least ten or eight years. We've only been here for a year, and there's not much we can do in a year."

The book that Xu Ziqiang's team obtained was equally rich in content. Rong Yi's book was eight parts about plants and two parts about animals, while this book was the opposite.

"Since it's divided into volumes, the content definitely won't overlap."

"Should we cooperate with them?" someone suggested.

Xu Ziqiang waved his hand, "No rush, this is only possible if they ask for it. Although it's a two-person team, they can safely bring back so many people from Kangtai District. Their strength is no less than that of a group of us."

That makes sense, and the person who made the suggestion quietly sat back down.

"So where to go next? This time we almost lost people in Kangtai District, and we didn't bring back many people either."

The research institute that Xu Ziqiang and his group went to was located in the city center, where the flow of people was relatively small compared to other districts, but the total number was still considerable. Among them was a level four zombie, which took quite a bit of effort to deal with.

"With that batch of pharmaceutical production lines in Chengyang District, the base will definitely need to improve its medical conditions, and it will be indispensable to have medical examination equipment."

Kanghong Medical Equipment Company specializes in producing medical devices such as CT scanners and ultrasound equipment. The base was converted from a military base, and these devices are limited, so the company desperately needs Kanghong's supplies.

Having set his next mission objective, Xu Ziqiang could only pray that he wouldn't run into Rong Yi and his group.

Wei Yanqing recovered relatively well, and was almost fully recovered after a day of rest. Rong Yi's shoulder blade also stopped hurting, and after careful treatment, he was completely healed.

During my two-day break, I received notifications that two other tasks were not completed.

“Going to Chengyang District? After acquiring pharmaceutical equipment, we’ll definitely need medical equipment as well.” Rong Yi pointed to the location of Kanghong Medical Equipment Company on the map.

Wei Yanqing shook his head, "You're definitely not the only one who thinks this way."

This pharmaceutical production line is too conspicuous; some players will definitely notice it. Since the mission is to assist the official in building the base, they must be trying to figure out the base's needs.

“Someone must have gone there; let’s go here.” The slender fingers moved to another point.

Rong Yi: "Fenghe District Reserve Grain Warehouse"

Wei Yanqing nodded, "That's right, let's go check the granary. The number of people at the base will be increasing, and we need to address the issue of food supply as soon as possible. Although the base is currently focused on searching for grain and has found quite a bit, the quantity is nothing compared to that of a professional granary."

The grain depot was also located in the suburbs, and there were not many staff members to maintain its operation. It was also the task located in the farthest place.

There are only two military garrison locations in Baiquan City: one is Jin'an District, and the other is Shangshui District.

Unfortunately, Fenghe District is far from Jin'an District and Shangshui District, so it's best to drive there.

Rong Yi's eyes held expectation, "Do you have a car in your storage space?"

Wei Yanqing's storage space is like a treasure bag; it feels like he can pull out anything, and it's incredibly useful.

"Yes." He didn't disappoint her. "I have a few modified cars in my collection. They're not particularly special, but they're sturdy enough."

Aside from a few simple and limited dungeons during the early stages, most later dungeons are set across the entire world, requiring the use of vehicles extensively.

"Then let's drive there. Can you drive?"

Rong Yi doesn't remember if he can drive; he'll probably have to get behind the wheel and try it out to find out.

"Yes, I'll drive the car."

Without further ado, the two had just stepped out of the base when they saw Wu Junzhi running towards them from afar, shouting as he ran, "Wait a minute!"

He was now paying close attention to the actions of these two, and coincidentally, he was leading a team out today when he saw the two leaving the base.

Rong Yi and Wei Yanqing stopped and looked to the side to see a team of a hundred people, all dressed in camouflage and carrying guns. This should be the source exploration team that Wu Junzhi had mentioned.

Wu Junzhi, still breathing heavily as he ran over, asked, "You're setting off now? Aren't you going to rest for another day?"

At that time, the two of them were in really bad condition. Wei Yanqing looked alright, mainly because he was unconscious, while Rong Yi had a broken right arm, but he looked like nothing had happened.

“You’ve rested enough, are you going out too?” Rong Yi pointed to the group next to him.

“That’s right. The higher-ups have said they’re going to prioritize the rescue efforts, and today is the first wave.” He chuckled as he said this. “Speaking of which, we have to thank you guys. It’s because of people like you with mysterious backgrounds who can find important supplies and sell them to the base at low prices that we can free up our resources for rescue.”

Wu Junzhi didn't mince words and directly pointed out their strangeness.

Rong Yi and Wei Yanqing exchanged a smile at this.

"Perhaps we are extraterrestrial aids," Rong Yi said jokingly.

Wu Junzhi lowered his eyes, his expression unreadable. "That's quite possible." Then, his expression returned to its energetic tone. "Then let's set off first."

Watching the hundred-person team leave in military vehicles, Rong Yi sincerely hoped they could rescue more people, as the base was desperately short of manpower.

"How many people are there at the base right now?" Rong Yi suddenly asked, curious about the number of people in the base.

Wei Yanqing crossed his arms and tapped his chin with his right index finger. "About 100,000 or so, not a lot. There are still many people trapped in the city. Without official rescue, it would be difficult for those people to get here."

The country where they landed has strict gun control, and the civilians have very limited weapons to deal with zombies, not to mention that the zombies have now basically all reached level two.
