Moreover, when we arrived, Nuoyi gave us another task: to find seeds in the DDC area. This is a very difficult task to complete.
If the experimental subjects in the AAS zone were the first to be discovered, then the DDC zone was the first place where large genetically mutated monsters appeared after the natural disaster.
"Surely there are only five of us participating in such a difficult task!" Shen Zhijie said, somewhat incredulous.
He Rui smiled awkwardly and said, "The seed mission is for the five of us, but the mission to go to the CCA area to collect supplies and hunt is not."
"The teams heading to the CCA area for resource hunting set off early this morning; we're the last group," He Rui said, scratching his head sheepishly.
Upon hearing this, Shen Zhijie became extremely anxious and urged the others to get in the car and leave quickly.
We absolutely cannot let them go first on this hunting mission!
He Rui and Shen Zhijie took over driving.
Jiang Yao felt strange; could the number of tasks marked with red banners be increased?
Sang Ze looked at Jiang Yao and explained, "It depends on the situation. At the base, if a mission marked with a red banner has already been accepted by someone else..."
"Then the red marker missions that reappear will replace the previous red marker missions."
"The recipient has essentially received two red-level missions, which means they've added an extra mission."
"Of course, the points will be three times that of the two tasks."
Jiang Yao found it somewhat ridiculous. What was the use of triple points? You still had to be alive to spend them. If you didn't make it back alive, earning more points was useless.
Although the CCA area is quite far, fortunately, there are already people clearing the way for them.
However, the time spent completing the CCA area mission and the time spent going to the DDC area will probably take about half a month in total.
After hearing the time calculated by Jiang Yao and the others, Shen Zhijie began to feel fortunate that he had brought Fat Cat with him this time. After all, he didn't want to find Fat Cat had gotten fatter again when he returned after the mission.
Turn into a pig wearing a cat's skin.
Ah! No, it's Grandma's dream cat.
"Meow~~" It seems that the fat cat saw through Shen Zhijie's thoughts and was venting its dissatisfaction.
However, not long after they left the base, Shen Zhijie noticed through the rearview mirror that someone was suddenly following their car.
And they've been following us for quite a while now. Ha, it seems someone couldn't stand the loneliness as soon as we left.
Suddenly a car sped out from the side of the road. Seeing this, Shen Zhijie quickly alerted He Rui and looked back, "Jiang Yao, shouldn't you do something?"
"Are you planning to take these kids on a spring outing?"
Jiang Yao looked back through the rear window of the RV, took out her sniper rifle, and prepared to use their wheels as live targets for her shooting practice.
Just as Jiang Yao was about to fire, two cars rushed out from both sides of the intersection, leaving He Rui with nowhere to hide.
The only option was to brake suddenly, but fortunately, Xiao Mu reacted quickly and grabbed Jiang Yao, pulling her into his arms.
Jiang Yao was completely focused on shooting and was caught off guard. The moment the car braked, she lost her balance and was about to fall to the side. Jiang Yao couldn't help but gasp inwardly, but she reacted quickly and let go of one hand to grab the edge of the car window.
However, before her hand could even touch the edge of the car window, her wrist was grabbed by a large hand, which quickly exerted force and pulled her over.
Jiang Yao was already unsteady on her feet, and when the other person pulled her, she moved along with their movement.
The next second, she was already sitting on Xiao Mu's firm lap, the man's intense aura instantly enveloping her.
Jiang Yao froze instantly. Xiao Mu's hand, which was still gripping her wrist, was still tight. The burning heat from his palm was transmitted to the skin of her wrist. Jiang Yao, who had little contact with men, suddenly felt her ear tips burning.
Fat Cat wasn't so lucky. The sudden stop caused the round, peacefully sleeping cat to roll off the seat and fall to the ground. The moment it landed, Sang Ze couldn't help but laugh.
Forgive me, I really couldn't help it.
I feel a little sorry for the fat cat, but who told you to eat so much and get so fat? Now look, it's rolled down like a ball.
Fat Cat did not become the focus of the braking during this braking incident.
Shen Zhijie and He Rui secretly gave Xiao Mu's actions in the rearview mirror a perfect score of nine out of ten, deducting one point for being too affectionate.
Ha, wouldn't you call this a silent flirtation?
Sang Ze's assessment of Xiao Mu was, "Not bad! Brother."
He Rui felt that Xiao Mu must have impure motives towards Jiang Yao, otherwise why would he be paying so much attention to her every move?
Jiang Yao's cheeks flushed slightly as she pretended to get up as if nothing had happened.
He Rui's sudden braking caused the car that suddenly rushed out to collide with it. He Rui took the opportunity to turn his car to the right and drive away.
Looking in the side rearview mirror, Shen Zhijie saw that he had already shaken off the car behind him. He leisurely turned on the music in the car, leaned back in his seat, and closed his eyes to rest.
Jiang Yao sat in her seat looking out the window, her mind filled with the feeling of suddenly sitting on Xiao Mu's lap because of the sudden braking.
Xiao Mu quickly noticed Jiang Yao's slightly reddened ear tips and lowered her head to cover the corners of her slightly upturned mouth.
The RV traveled on relatively smooth roads. He Rui led the group on a newly opened road at the base, which was considered safer than the ruins.
As we approached the CCA zone, a few initial-state test subjects would appear every now and then along both sides of the road. Since their numbers were small, they did not pose any danger or loss to us.
