Chapter 20 panel update, disaster classification!

After leaving the store, all contribution points were reset to zero, and I still owed 7 points.

Letting the scattered sunlight leaking through the gaps in the clouds dance on his shoulders, Cheng Ye touched the pickup receipt he had just put into his pocket, and the excitement in his heart was difficult to suppress.

In the dangerous wasteland, a suitable weapon is the foundation of your survival.

Its significance is no less than that of modern people buying cars and houses.

"It only took me two months to buy a supernatural weapon of my own?"

It's a bit dreamy.

Even though behind this weapon, he first borrowed 100 points from Song Yongfeng and then owed the store 7 points.

But when compared with the loans that modern people often take out for a period of at least 30 years, Cheng Ye could only secretly sigh that he really came to a "good" era!

If you travel to a wasteland with a radioactive background, or a wasteland where you can't even get food and have to compete with zombies for food.

Not to mention weapons, given the original owner's physical condition, it's hard to say whether he could survive to this day.

"Thanks to Happy City, at least at this moment... I am indeed happy."

Cheng Ye is a very contented person.

The contribution points were reset to zero, so I just turned off the idea of looking at the firepower weapons.

The standard pistols equipped to inspectors are not unusable. When they are not on field duty, there is no urgent need for the Buffalo combat pistols.

Besides, going to the North and South stations also provides opportunities to contain the source of infection. If you are lucky, you can earn new contribution points after two or three days of duty and save enough money to buy hot weapons.

Of course, it’s better not to be so “lucky”.

The more you understand the infected entities with special abilities, the more you can appreciate the difficulties humans face in surviving in the wasteland.

Especially in the case mentioned by Luo Xiaoxue last night, a special infected body successfully sneaked in and accumulated enough contribution points without being discovered along the way, and went to the inner city through the Gate of Happiness.

Fortunately, the inner city's monitoring mechanism was very complete. Before the infected body accumulated enough power to cause a secondary infection, it fell into the test trap and was forced to be exposed.

If it had not been discovered, the size of Happiness City would probably have been reduced by at least half.

...

Getting on the bus to the library, Cheng Ye found a seat in the back row and summoned the collector.

Shui Yingying's blue panel is very simple, but its functions are quite complete.

In the upper right corner of the panel, the current charging progress is displayed, just like the battery level of a mobile phone.

【lv1.32%】

"The night before yesterday, I charged it to 26 degrees at home. Yesterday, I charged it to 23 degrees at the library. Last night, I charged it less at Brother B's house, only 18 degrees..."

Cheng Ye was thinking about it, unable to hide his joy.

You can search once the energy value accumulates to 50%. Even though you didn't use every minute yesterday, the energy value accumulated much faster than previously estimated.

At this rate, maybe he could get a search opportunity tomorrow morning.

Go to the collector's personal page.

What surprised Cheng Ye was that the page data had not changed at all, even though he had been so hungry that he couldn't sleep the whole night the day before yesterday.

After a normal rest last night, the page actually updated the data synchronously with my sleep.

"Do you need to sleep to update the data?"

Keeping this rule in mind, Cheng Ye looked up.

【Collector: Cheng Ye】

[Current Rank: lv.1 Apprentice (0.7/100, continue to collect more 'Information' to upgrade)]

[Life Level: 0]

[Skills: Basic Strength, Beast Intuition, Air]

【Not unlocked yet...】

[Evaluation: You have escaped the bottom of the food chain, being easily hunted by civilized natives, but you are still far from reaching the minimum level of a civilized collector. Focusing on searching for information that can be passed on can quickly make progress and increase your rank.]

...

"Well, finally I'm not a roadside animal that was kicked to death by the natives..."

In addition to the evaluation, Cheng Ye noticed that the specific upgrade requirements were displayed behind the first job level.

The first 0.7 should be the information level of finding feedback on the two skills, and the latter is the requirement for leaving the apprenticeship period.

"If one search can get 0.3, then 100 points will require more than 300 searches."

"That would consume nearly 16,000 kWh of electricity, which is incredibly difficult. Even without factoring in hydropower stations shutting down during the dry season or raising prices, it would take me half a year to charge 50 kWh a day."

After a careful calculation, Cheng Ye suddenly felt that the road ahead was long and that it would be much more difficult to get promoted than to become a trainee inspector.

However, he vaguely felt that the collector should have other ways to charge itself and might not rely solely on electricity.

Unfortunately, in the current environment, the only absorbable energy he can find is electricity.

Only after we have established a firm foothold in the buffer zone in the future can we find ways to find other energy sources that the collector can absorb.

"If you want to increase your leveling speed, you need to focus on searching for information that can be passed down, as the reviews suggest..."

"But what kind of information can be called inheritance?"

Cheng Ye pondered secretly.

By the time the station announcement sounded "Library Station", he had already had some vague ideas in his mind, but these ideas still needed to be searched several times before they could be verified to be tenable.

"Mr. Cheng, here we come!"

As Cheng Ye pushed the door open, Gwen, who was curled up in the small bed, raised her head and greeted him.

"I helped you put away the books you didn't finish reading yesterday this morning. They're on the second desk."

"There is Miss Lawgwen."

Cheng Ye nodded and took out a 10-denomination happiness coin from his pocket and handed it over.

He paid 20 coins yesterday, but didn't take the remaining 10 coins when he left. Now he is paying the remaining 10 coins as a deposit.

Unexpectedly, Gwen shook her head and said, "No need. The deposit is just for screening customers. Your love for books and respect for knowledge do not need to be proven with a deposit."

"oh?"

Cheng Ye chuckled, but did not take the coins back. "Then please help me exchange these 10 coins for nutrient solution, so I don't have to go out to buy it at noon and delay my reading time."

"Okay, I'll heat up your lunch and bring it over for you at lunchtime."

Although he only stayed there for one day, Cheng Ye felt that this library was more familiar than his home.

He was surprised when he walked through the bookshelves and saw the reading area.

No wonder Gwen put the unfinished book on the second desk. It turned out that someone was already sitting at the first desk.

She looks like a woman, but her clothes are a little strange.

He had a huge black turban on his head and his face was covered tightly with a mask. His lower body was dressed in the attire of a scavenger, which was rarely seen in the buffer zone recently: a worn animal skin outfit and a pair of flat hiking shoes.

Cheng Ye took a quick look and found that the books the woman was reading and the several books placed on the table were exactly the ones that Gwen introduced yesterday, which recorded the special infected bodies.

"Another bounty hunter looking to strike it rich?"

Cheng Ye was slightly surprised and then looked away. After stuffing the pendant into the socket without leaving any trace, he sat down at the second table and began to flip through the books quickly.

Soon, the sound of flipping pages was heard.

The woman frowned and looked over, confirming that Cheng Ye was not making noise to attract her attention, but was concentrating on reading. She could only shake her head helplessly.

One Hundred Ways to Deal with Infected Bodies

《To kill the infected, just do these eight things!》

Earth, Air, Water, Fire, Migration, Reproduction... A Complete Disassembly of the Sources of Infected Bodies

A must-read for real men, this will save you ten years of detours in the wasteland

《...》

For every thousand readers, there are a thousand Hamlets.

People with different personalities naturally have very different ways of dealing with infectious bodies.

Some people are good at waiting, while others prefer to take the initiative.

Some people believe in "never engage in close combat if the problem can be solved remotely", while others insist that "close combat is more efficient, so as to avoid relying on remote combat and losing the ability to respond."

Everyone has their own opinions, and their ideas are perfectly reflected in the survival books they write.

Cheng Ye accepted all the books and madly absorbed the core information conveyed in each book.

When it comes to diversity of opinions, how can the wasteland compare with the modern world?

What do modern people experience?

Open the short video and you will be pushed a hundred different novel ways of wiping in minutes. They will do anything to avoid censorship.

When discussing hot-blooded comics, even Boruto's reputation has been rising again and again, from being incombustible to the audience losing the will of fire.

Therefore, some of the diode speeches in the book even seem a bit cutely paranoid to Cheng Ye.

Why should ranged and melee combat be so opposed to each other? Waiting for an opportunity and taking the initiative to attack are not in conflict.

Different scenarios have different breakthrough logics, and what he has to do is to filter out the optimal solution from all possible solutions.

Before I knew it, it was getting dark.

By the time Cheng Ye finished flipping through the last book on the first bookshelf, the wall clock had just struck eight.

Outside the window, it started to drizzle again.

The woman at table number one had left at some point, and the tabletop was wiped clean by Gwen, leaving it with a cold, clean shine.

"It's raining again."

Cheng Ye stood up, his eyes leisurely, and put all the books he had read back on the bookshelf in order.

Hiding in this leisurely little library for two days calmed his anxious heart.

But this is a wasteland after all.

According to the records in some books, the scale of the infection wave is divided into six levels from small to large: group, tide, plague, disaster, destruction and annihilation.

Since the beginning of the new era, a devastating wave of infection has not yet appeared and is only a theoretical definition.

However, there were four devastating waves of infection, each involving millions of infected people, and even earthbound spirits from the old era mixed in with them.

There used to be a Sanctuary City that was several times larger than Happy City, and it happened to be on the route of the devastating infection wave and was trying to resist it.

The result is naturally predictable. The sanctuary city used all means but still failed to stop the advance of the infection wave.

In less than half a day, the city was destroyed, people died, and millions of people were contaminated and turned into new infected bodies, almost triggering an "extinction" level disaster.

Fortunately, when it was about to reach the edge of extinction, the extraordinary people inside suddenly reached the maximum distance and began to return.

Only then did humans seize the opportunity to catch their breath and gradually divide the large-scale infection wave into several small waves, directing them in different directions, barely controlling the spread of the disaster.

"With the current strength of Happiness City, let alone stopping the level-annihilation, even if it encounters a level-destroying attack, it would be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot."

"I must accumulate enough strength before the real disaster strikes."

"At least, I can escape!"
