Chapter 47 Logistics Work
The torrential rain poured down, posing no obstacle to the zombies, but the players found it quite troublesome.
Jiang Baiyue and the crew-cut woman outside the wall were slowed down by the rain, making their fighting much less efficient than usual.
Jiang Baiyue's fireballs were also unable to inflict maximum damage on the zombies; the flames couldn't even ignite on their bodies.
"Open the door!"
The woman with the buzz cut was exhausted, and she shouted for her teammates inside the door to open it.
Jiang Baiyue left the four mercenaries outside, instructing them to return to the base when their health dropped below 50, while she went inside to rest and replenish her health.
"Oh no, my umbrella is 90% damaged and it will break soon. I need to go to the mission hall to get it repaired right away."
"Mine too, wait for me, let's go together."
"Why did it have to rain at night of all times? What bad luck!"
"I'm almost out of arrows, I have no choice but to go out and hunt!"
"I'm almost out of bullets, and I don't think I've killed many zombies. These zombies in helmets are fast and have high defense!"
Jiang Baiyue, wondering how long the battle would last tonight, sent a message to Gu Zilin, asking her not to charge players who helped fight off zombies for crafting and repair services tonight.
[You are experiencing mild chills; the recovery speed of all attributes has decreased by 5%. Please keep warm!]
It's like when it rains, it pours; one bad thing after another happens.
Jiang Baiyue took out some berries to eat, but it did not eliminate the cold status; the slight cold status on the attribute panel remained unchanged.
At this moment, a woman next to her rubbed her hands together, trembling as she drank a bowl of hot water, and turned to speak to the person next to her.
"Mom, can you make me some ginger soup? I'm so cold, my hands are almost frozen..."
Jiang Baiyue suddenly realized that besides wearing more clothes, she should drink something warm to warm her stomach when she was cold.
The warehouse had just acquired a lot of ginger, and she thought that in addition to combat personnel, these middle-aged and elderly people, and even children, could be put to use.
They should be given appropriate rewards for handling logistical matters.
As Jiang Baiyue returned to the wooden house, she put on more clothes while pondering how to edit the logistics work content.
...
Hearing the incessant roars of the zombies, Zhang Li felt a chill run down her spine. What should she do?
I heard that some hunter camps were breached and many people died!
Please bless us, and please make sure nothing happens to the children.
Zhang Li felt really uncomfortable and suffocated while staying in the wooden house. She put on a straw hat and went out to chat with her newly acquainted colleagues.
Hu Yulan slept in the mission hall; she was alone and didn't have the ability to build a wooden house.
As soon as Zhang Li entered the mission hall, she saw Hu Yulan: "Yulan, I... I'm scared. I don't know if I can make it through tonight."
Hu Yulan also looked worried. She had finally found a stable job, but a major crisis had occurred that night. However, she still tried her best to comfort Zhang Li.
I kept comforting myself, trying to give myself some hope.
"We're a Level 1 base. The stone walls are so high and so thick, we'll definitely hold out. Those kids are still fighting, they can do it, we'll be fine..."
Base logistics mission
Task: To prepare ginger soup, meat porridge, and other food or logistical support for combat personnel.
Task Rewards: 1. Fee waiver for resident residents; 2. Free time for washing up in public restrooms. (Note: Please click to view details)
Target audience: Middle-aged and elderly players, underage players, and players without combat abilities.
Zhang Li pointed at the screen and exclaimed in surprise, "Oh my, girl, there's a mission! There's a mission!"
Hu Yulan was also pleasantly surprised, as the task even had a reward, which might save them some money on the accommodation fee: "We can also help out. I just found a big iron pot on the first day, so let's build a big stove!"
Others started discussing it, and those with organizational skills began calling for reinforcements.
"This is the ginger soup line! Does anyone have ginger?"
Upon hearing the call, Hu Yulan immediately raised her hand in response. Providing this tool could accumulate 200 points, which could be redeemed for a 4-day stay fee reduction.
"Me! I still have a big iron pot."
"I have ginger."
"I have a lot of carrots, would it be okay to make carrot and meat soup?"
"It should be okay, right?"
"Anyway, you get 2 points for every carrot you provide, and 5 carrots can be exchanged for 20 minutes of washing time. It's not a bad deal."
Gu Zilin led a group of children into the crowd to show that her children could also participate.
"We can help too! We can help deliver it to the older brothers, sisters, uncles, and aunts."
The adults smiled knowingly and praised the children for being sensible.
Soon, the logistics work was carried out in an orderly manner under everyone's arrangement, and the children carried the first pot of ginger soup and distributed it in several directions.
...
"careful!"
The light penetration was exceptionally low tonight; even though the solar streetlights were moved to the edge of the city wall, the light only reached about half a meter of the wall.
A person wearing a straw hat did not notice an unidentified object being thrown at their side due to their perspective and actions.
Gu Zilin, who was delivering ginger soup, had just climbed the stone wall stairs when she screamed in terror.
Because of the loud shout, the man noticed something was wrong and instinctively crouched down to avoid the attack.
"What is that??"
Gu Zilin ran over, picked up the object, and exclaimed, "It's a round stone!"
"Holy crap, what kind of monster can throw stones? Are these zombies that scared?"
"Everyone be careful! There might be a new monster that can throw stones... Everyone, keep some distance!"
The player who dodged the attack thanked Gu Zilin gratefully: "Thank you, kid. Let's be friends. I'll give you candy when I find it."
"No need, thank you, brother. You are protecting everyone. I've brought you some ginger soup, here you go."
Staring at the steaming hot ginger soup, Lin Hai, who had been separated from his family since day one, felt a surge of emotion in his heart, and his uneasy heart suddenly calmed down.
[Emotions remain high, stress level decreases by 50; hunger and stamina recovery speed increases by 15%.]
[You are now out of the stress threshold, and your vision has returned to normal!]
Lin Hai carefully took the ginger soup with both hands. He didn't drink it; instead, he handed it to his comrade who was still fighting next to him.
"Time for ginger soup! Anyone feeling cold or negative? Come and drink some ginger soup!"
"What?! There's ginger soup!"
"Great, great, I really want to eat cold melon."
"I'll hold the line first, you guys drink first, and then it'll be my turn."
Such scenes occurred at every arrow tower in the White Moon Base, warming the hearts of the players in battle.
The zombies attacked the base, and they were fighting for their own survival, but someone cared about them and provided logistical support, allowing them to devote themselves to the battle without any worries.
Two hours later, the zombies' offensive weakened, and the zombie horde outside stopped replenishing its ranks. Only scattered zombies were being shot at by the arrow towers.
The players walked down the city wall one by one, exhausted, their limbs weak and their spirits extremely tired.
