Chapter 40 Mission Center
It's only been a few days and the base has changed again.
Ye Jin went out for a walk alone. Now the base has developed and built at a speed almost as fast as in the previous life.
Walking out of the villa area, there are many new houses built in the back row. A street for selling goods has been formed, and many people are exchanging items.
Ye Jin walked all the way and saw all kinds of things for sale, but there was nothing she liked, no good stuff at all. She didn't stay for too long and went to the mission hall in front. The mission hall in this life was different from the one in her previous life.
The blackboard in the hall not only lists tasks that can be done by people with special abilities, but also tasks that can be done by ordinary people, such as building city walls, finding food, and clearing zombies. Each task has a corresponding danger level and reward.
The most dangerous SSS-level mission, at the top of the list, collecting gasoline in X City District?
She had an impression of this place. It was a large oil refinery that she had marked before, but it was too far away and she had been delayed by various things before going there. Now it was very dangerous there.
There is no crowd in City X, but it is on the edge of the city, separated from the base by the city head and the city tail. It takes nearly half a month to walk there from the base. Moreover, this refinery is built on the seashore near the S Province. After the apocalypse, many creatures in the sea have mutated. In the previous life, many teams were killed there. No one knows what kind of monsters there are.
"Miss Ye!"
Ye Jin turned around and saw that it was Xiao Wu calling her.
He ran over with a smile, and saw Ye Jin looking at the task board and asked, "Miss Ye, are you here to do the task? Do you want to do the task of the oil tank factory? This task has been taken away by someone from the Xu family."
Ye Jin raised his eyebrows slightly. It seems that the Xu family has many capable people who are not afraid of death.
Xiao Wu complained, "This Xu family is really despicable. They rush to do all the good things and leave all the hard work to us. Every time we go out to look for supplies, it's basically..."
"Xiao Wu!" Su Heng came over from behind and interrupted him, looking at Ye Jin and greeting her: "Hello, Miss Ye!"
Ye Jin nodded and responded, "Captain Su."
Although she didn't know much about the base, she roughly knew that the people from the Xu family had been doing the lucrative job of stockpiling supplies from the very beginning, such as evacuating the people, clearing out zombies, repairing city walls, and doing infrastructure. These hard work were all done by their army.
The Xu family is unwilling to do it, and Chief Xu cannot just watch the people being eaten by zombies. Su Heng and his men have consumed a lot of bullets recently, and their treatment is not as good as Xu Tian's. There are also few people with special abilities, so they are gradually losing the upper hand.
Su Heng asked, "Miss Ye, what mission are you interested in?"
She shook her head and said, "I'm not interested, I just came to take a look."
"Miss Ye, you can form a team of your own!" Xiao Wu said, "You are so talented, many people will be willing to follow you."
She has not thought about forming a team at the moment. She prefers to be alone. She has too many secrets and many things to do. Too many people will only cause trouble.
Ye Jin smiled and said to Xiao Wu, "Let's talk about it later. I'm leaving first."
She looked at Xiao Wu's slightly cracked mouth and said, "If the troops are short of water, you can come to me."
After the snow stopped, the temperature remained in the high forties. Water sources were contaminated, and the base's existing water system, currently comprised of low-level psychics, was limited in its ability to produce only so much water per day. Water psychics outside could fetch high prices for a single bucket of water, but few could afford it. The military was short on psychics, so ordinary people were only given a cup of water a day.
Xiao Wu happily showed his big white teeth and laughed loudly: "Thank you, Miss Ye."
Ye Jin turned around and said, "We need to exchange it for nuclear crystals."
Su Heng was also happy. Now he had nuclear crystals to kill zombies, but water and food were hard to come by.
After returning, at night, Zhang Zhang came back covered in the filth of zombie blood.
Looking at him, Ye Jin nodded. Not bad, he was indeed a strong man in his previous life. He was already at the second level.
How come these people are advancing faster than her? Is it because she has more abilities that she needs more core crystals? She sighed inwardly, what a pitfall.
Zhang Zhang walked up to Ye Jin and handed a black plastic bag in front of her.
It's full of nuclear crystals.
"This is the accommodation and food expenses for Zhang Yue and me," said Zhang Zhang.
Looking at Zhang Zhang's actions, Aunt Chen was stunned and a little embarrassed.
Among their group, she is the only one who is older and has no value. Xiaochen is very powerful even though he is so young.
Ye Jin felt a little helpless. Why was Zhang Zhang's personality exactly the same as in his previous life?
"Xia Li said that you go out early and come back late every day. It turns out that you are saving for food?" Ye Jin directly refused: "I don't need it."
"Then what do you need? I'll go find it." Zhang Zhang's survival over the years has taught him that no one is good unconditionally, and Yueyue is well taken care of, so he really wants to repay Ye Jin.
"Aunt Chen has always been the one who cooked your meals. Yueyue is usually taken care of by Aunt Chen. Aunt Chen has made the greatest contribution, so you should thank her if you want to thank anyone. I always believe that we are all partners. You don't need to thank me specifically for anything."
partner?
Zhang Zhang looked up at Ye Jin and felt warm in his heart. Living here, Ye Jin and the others were very kind to him and Yueyue as well. The nature of his previous job meant that he didn't have many real friends around him, but he didn't expect to meet people like them in the end times.
"If you want to form your own team and go on a mission, I won't stop you."
Ye Jin would not force him to stay. Her team did not allow betrayal. If she forced him to stay without sincerity, she would only expose her weaknesses. Zhang Zhang was a strong man in his previous life, so it was normal for him to have ambitions.
Zhang Yue was a little anxious. She felt that Sister Jin might have misunderstood her brother's meaning. She was also afraid that her brother would leave, so her anxious little hands pulled at the corner of Zhang Zhang's clothes.
She whispered, "Brother... I like it here very much. Please don't take me away, okay?" After saying that, she lowered her head timidly. She didn't know if her brother would feel embarrassed, but Sister Jin and Brother Chen were both very nice to her.
Zhang Zhang looked at his sister's expression and felt a little helpless. That was not what he meant.
"I... no, I don't want to leave here. I formed a team just to kill more zombies and find nuclear crystals. I don't want to take advantage of others for nothing."
"Brother Zhang Zhang, if you say that, doesn't that mean we're all taking advantage?" Zhang Yiyi looked at him and said, "My mother, Xia Li, and I haven't helped Ye Jin in any way."
"That's different!" said Zhang Zhang.
Zhang Yiyi and Ye Jin were originally good friends. He joined with Yueyue later. Moreover, he had witnessed the darkness of the end of the world during this period. Brothers could turn against each other for a piece of bread, and some men would even let their women sell themselves.
Although he is a person with super powers, Yueyue has no super powers and is still a child, which is a burden to many people.
Yu Zichen spoke up: "Brother Zhang, you think too much. You are family just like us." He spent the most time with Zhang Zhang.
Zhang Zhang's eyelashes trembled slightly. Family? He and Xiaoyue had always depended on each other before the apocalypse. He had never expected that he would have other friends and family in the apocalypse.
Ye Jin didn't say anything. Whether Zhang Zhang wanted to work on his own or continue to follow her with his sister, she would follow his wishes. She had kept him before because he had helped her in her previous life.
