Chapter 130 Zombie Siege (23) - Mission Trap

Zai Fumeng then humbly asked, "What method?"

Ning Shu: "You could make something like a mini tank, where you can hide inside and fire shells outwards."

As long as you've killed zombies, even if you run out of ammunition and hide inside the tank, it shouldn't count as not having 'participated.'

Zaifu Meng wholeheartedly agreed after hearing this; how come she hadn't thought of that?

Ning Shu: "You should modify it a bit more. The game shouldn't let you just lie down and finish it."

Zai Fumeng: "Okay."

Ning Shu then thought of something else: "Little sister, I have a favor to ask you. Could you see if you can make a set of protective armor for the three of us? As for the materials, can you tell me what we need, and we'll go find them?"

This isn't a big problem, Zaifu Meng nodded in agreement.

Cheng Chuan lived up to expectations, bringing back a large group of people that day. The next day, they set off again, and finally, on the 13th day of the instance, all five players perfectly completed Task 1.

Current task progress:

[Task 1: Progress 100%, this task is complete.]

Task 2: Progress 2%

Task 3: Progress 0%

When Ning Shu received the system notification, she almost cried; she was so moved.

When she saw that Task 2 was still at 2%, she also wanted to cry, feeling overwhelmed.

Ning Shu and Cheng Chuan discussed what to do next behind closed doors.

This time, Zai Fumeng was added, and she and Wu Yi became accessories to Ning Shu and Cheng Chuan.

Cheng Chuan: "On this trip, it's obvious that the zombies are getting stronger. We still have more than half the time left. We need to come up with a plan: whether to do Mission 2 or Mission 3."

Ning Shu shared Zai Fumeng's understanding with everyone: "If everyone still wants to work together, we must vote to decide what the last task is."

She meant that if they didn't want to act together, they should separate.

Wu Yi understood this and immediately raised his hand: "I want to join in, and I'll listen to Brother Chuan and Sister Ning."

Ning Shu rolled her eyes at him: "If we break up, whose opinion will you take?"

This is a very serious question, no less serious than asking a child if their parents are getting a divorce and who they would live with.

The poor "puppy" looked at the two of them in surprise: "Are you going to break up?" The question made it sound as if they were about to break up.

Cheng Chuan coughed awkwardly, "Ning Shu, stop teasing him, let's get down to business."

Ning Shu looked at Cheng Chuan and noticed that he was blushing. It was nothing at first, but suddenly she also felt embarrassed and lowered her head without saying a word.

Zai Fu Meng, unaware of the situation, asked, "Aren't my brother and sister a couple? Why are they separated?"

"..."

"..."

Cheng Chuan sighed and said, "Let's get back to the main topic. First, let's talk about your opinions on missions 2 and 3. Once you've chosen, we'll do one of them."

Wu Yi and Zai Fumeng took turns expressing their opinions, but they didn't say much of anything useful.

Ning Shu thought of a question: "You tell me, which city is being besieged by zombies?"

The other three stared at her as if she had asked a stupid question.

Wu Yi stammered, "Isn't this the city we live in?"

Ning Shu: "Take out the city map, let's all circle the places we've been to, and see how much of the city they cover."

Zaifu Meng stayed in that shopping mall from the moment she entered the instance, and the only place she went after leaving was the villa where they lived, so she had no right to speak.

Ning Shu's original team of three drew on the map for a while, and finally found that the area where they were active only accounted for a quarter of the city.

Ning Shu: "Do you encounter many players outside?"

Cheng Chuan shook his head: "Not many. We thought we would encounter players who deliberately created zombies, but we didn't see any."

Ning Shu: "I even printed out a map of our province beforehand. I don't think the zombie siege necessarily refers to our city."

Cheng Chuan: "Why did you have this idea?"

Ning Shu: "First of all, what conditions need to be met for a zombie siege? At the very least, there need to be a large number of zombies."

But we didn't seem to see many zombies; the most we saw was during the time we rescued Xiaomeng at the mall.

Secondly, think carefully about what Mission 3 says: "Participate in the zombie siege battle," which means we don't have to participate.

The reason for not participating could be that we have completed task 2, or it could be that we cannot find the place.

Do you think there's a problem with my understanding?

Cheng Chuan found her words surprisingly reasonable.

The difficulty of Mission 3 may not only lie in how strong the zombies are, but also in not being able to find the location. This dungeon is full of traps.

"So what do you think we should do?"

Ning Shu: "We can do mission 2 first, and if we can't complete it, we can do it when the zombie siege comes."

Anyway, the two tasks can overlap, but task 3 has no quantity requirement.

If we complete Quest 2 before the end of the last day of the instance, we can leave the instance early.

If you can't complete it, just wait for task 3 to end; you can complete one anyway.

Wu Yi raised his curious hand: "Then what's the difference between this and directly doing Mission 3?"

Cheng Chuan: "There is still a difference. If you are only 10,000 zombies short of completing mission 2 on the last day."

Regardless of whether we enter the besieged area or not, we only need to complete the quantity of 10,000.

You could just do quest 3, but not only do you need to find the right location, you might also need to kill over 100,000 enemies within 24 hours to survive until the dungeon ends, or maybe not.

Based on the actions of the other players, Cheng Chuan was more inclined to believe the latter. If mission 3 was easier than mission 2, they shouldn't have acted so recklessly.

Wu Yi felt like the sky was about to fall. Let alone killing more than 100,000 zombies in a day, even if you had to swing your arm 100,000 times in a day, you would be crippled.

Zai Fumeng was thinking, what if she didn't have enough shells? It seems she would have to research a nuclear bomb to achieve the goal of killing 100,000 enemies.

Ning Shu and the others were unaware of Zai Fumeng's thoughts; otherwise, they would have stopped her. Once she unleashed this nuclear bomb, not only would the zombies be wiped out, but the players would also be doomed.

In the end, they unanimously voted to do Task 2 first, and then look for clues for Task 3 while they were at it.

Cheng Chuan first inquired about the situation in the neighboring city from Fang's father and learned that the city with the largest population was still their own, but it was located to the east of the city.

They were currently located in the west. Fang's father, unaware of their intentions, specifically instructed them not to go to the east, as there might be more zombies there.

This was exactly what Cheng Chuan and his group wanted.

After that day, Ning Shu and her group of four left early and returned late every day, and basically missed mealtimes.

Ning Shu brought along both city and province maps, sketching out the locations and noting the number of zombies in each place he visited.

Ning Shu discovered that there were indeed many zombies in the eastern part of the city, but they were far from enough to complete the second objective of the mission.

Especially since there were four of them, which would cost at least 400,000, a small amount for a big city, yet somehow they hadn't encountered many of them.
