Chapter 61 Collecting Alien Energy Cores
The water had already reached more than halfway up the iron wall, and Jiang Baiyue went to the underground city with worry.
She needs to improve the overall strength of the residents; as of now, the number of residents with superpowers in the base is still very small.
After the base was upgraded, she was able to see the residents' basic information. She had browsed through it last night and found that there were about 90 people with superpowers.
Less than one-fifth of the population.
Actually, excluding the elderly and children, this number is still quite considerable and not too bad.
However, since they can't fight monsters very often now, they rely heavily on supernatural abilities and ranged attack weapons.
Otherwise, the materials for repairing the protective shield will be quickly exhausted. Given the current shortage of materials, once they are completely depleted, the rate of material replenishment may not be able to keep up with the rate of material consumption.
"Number 1! Go! Stop that zombie wearing the yellow helmet."
As soon as they left Space Station No. 2, Jiang Baiyue saw a zombie chasing after two teenagers.
The two boys were armed with stone axes, which did little damage to the helmeted zombies, and they were fleeing for their lives in terror.
Bang bang bang!
Three gunshots rang out, drawing the attention of the helmeted zombie. Ignoring the two teenagers, it turned and attacked Jiang Baiyue.
Yes, the mercenaries' attacks are equivalent to Jiang Baiyue's attacks; all the monsters attacked by the mercenaries have their hatred directed at her.
[Helmet Zombie - Anomaly (Water)]
After firing four or five crossbow bolts in succession, Jiang Baiyue killed the helmeted zombie and obtained a red rhombus-shaped crystal.
She simply put it away, not intending to use it to awaken her superpowers, and decided to keep it to exchange for the residents of the base.
Individual strength is limited; only by improving the overall strength of the residents can White Moon Base withstand the siege of monsters for longer.
The zombies that heard the gunshots surrounded them again, but they were all level 1 zombies, there were no abnormal zombies, and they couldn't earn any evolution points.
Jiang Baiyue, accompanied by mercenaries, looked at the map and ran towards other unexplored areas where boss monsters might appear.
At this moment, Jiang Baiyue desperately wanted to have a vehicle.
The underground city is really big. A large area near Space Station 2 has already been explored, so it doesn't have much exploration value for Jiang Baiyue anymore.
Therefore, every time she comes to the dungeon, she has to run to explore further places. When she reaches an unexplored area, she has to rest for a while to replenish her health before she can start exploring.
...
Xinming Middle School - Mingde Building.
The guy, who's so cool he has no friends, kicked away a helmeted zombie and shot a climbing zombie that jumped down from the second floor: "How much further?"
A young man with blond hair used a rusty iron pipe to forcefully poke open the hideous zombie. He took a breath and shouted back to his companion, "100 meters, it must be in this building!"
A woman nearby extended a thick golden thread from her hand and used it to entangle and free the three zombies behind the yellow-haired youth, who was actually the Mole House.
The zombie was flung away and crashed into a pile of garbage in the distance. Another person coordinated perfectly, throwing stones that were four or five times larger than the fists of two adults. Each stone hit the zombie's head with precision.
Break through defenses, smash heads, reap lives, and loot drops...
The mole family looked gratefully at their helpers, retreated behind the two, and then took out a map.
The map has a unique texture, resembling an electronic screen, with the starting point and end point marked on it. Next to the end point, there are a few small words, and at the top, there is a magnifying glass icon search box.
After clearing out the level 1 zombies, the group, armed with weapons, lined up and began advancing into the teaching building.
The hallway was dark, the walls were mottled and dilapidated, and some classrooms were completely destroyed, with collapsed walls and flattened metal desks.
They relied on the lamps on their miners' helmets for light, and dust danced and leaped in the light, while a musty, rotten smell assaulted their brains.
Handsome beyond compare, he nervously looked around, moving his feet carefully. The next moment, his vision turned red. Without hesitation, he immediately took out the antidepressants he had prepared in his backpack and swallowed them until his vision returned to normal.
Hoo—!
Suddenly, a rotting, hideous head dangled from the ceiling. It was so handsome it was almost unbelievable. Just as I was about to raise my gun to shoot it, a golden thread flew past, wrapped around the zombie's head, and flung it against the wall.
He reacted quickly, immediately switching to an iron axe and hacking at the zombie's head until it was reduced to scattered pieces of loot.
Drinking alone under the moon, he pulled back the golden thread and admonished, "Take your medicine quickly."
He was so handsome that he had no friends. He clasped his hands in thanks. He had always been a ranged shooter and had never fought zombies so close to their faces before. He was not as alert as his companion and his movements were slower.
He thought to himself that he must be extremely vigilant.
Mole's House: "There's noise upstairs? It's quite loud!"
Drinking Alone Under the Moon, frowning, "Did someone arrive before us?"
Realizing that it was a resource related to alien energy cores, the group quickened their pace and rushed to the top rooftop in one go.
Hearing the chaotic footsteps, Jiang Baiyue gritted her teeth, rolled away to dodge the cyan wind blades, and then threw out a fireball without thinking.
"shot!"
Jiang Baiyue didn't want to waste her source energy, so she teleported to the rooftop. The mercenaries didn't disturb the zombies too much, so she just surrounded the abnormal zombie and didn't let the mercenaries fire their guns, lest they attract the zombies downstairs to come up and surround her.
Other players arrived at this moment, so she had to act quickly and take down the wind-elemental energy core as soon as possible.
【Crawling Zombie - Anomaly (Wind)】
The crawling zombie's knees grow backwards, and it moves on all fours. Although it looks like an extremely illogical structure, it moves very nimbly.
The crawling zombie narrowly avoided the fireball attack, its limbs moving quickly, and caught up with Jiang Baiyue, who had just stood up, in just a few seconds.
The wind carried a foul stench and a dangerous aura as it approached.
Two mercenaries rushed forward, parrying with iron hammers. The sharp claws scraped together, making a piercing sound that hurt the ears.
Jiang Baiyue seized the opportunity to teleport behind it and swung the iron axe down heavily.
Ugh—!
He was incredibly handsome and fast. Just as he reached the rooftop, he caught a glimpse of his old acquaintance swiftly and decisively killing him through a crack in the door.
His pupils contracted, and he thought to himself, "What bad luck! This person probably doesn't know that I tried to assassinate her before."
Drinking Alone Under the Moon: In his heart, he already had a guess that someone must have killed the boss monster first: "What's going on? Move aside, let me see."
"What's going on? Why aren't you guys saying anything? You're all so tall and blocking my way..."
Mole House squeezed his head out from between his companions' shoulders, facing six tall men in black, each with a serious look in their eyes, pointing their dark gun barrels at him, and his words were immediately muffled.
"Hehe, just passing by, just passing by."
Drinking alone under the moonlight, she glanced discreetly at the rosy-cheeked woman behind the six men in black. She saw the red rhomboid crystal and felt a pang of regret, realizing she had missed it.
It's a common understanding among players that boss monsters are more likely to drop alien energy cores.
Especially during this period when resources at resource points have decreased, many teams have started to form groups to hunt boss monsters.
They obtained the alien energy core and also collected the abundant supplies from the resource box.
Jiang Baiyue turned her head and saw that the group had already turned and left, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
She didn't want to fight among her own kind, not because she was afraid of losing, but because she felt it was unnecessary.
"Oh my god! There's a boss monster!!"
"Run!"
As soon as Jiang Baiyue stepped across the threshold, the group rushed back with shouts, followed by a tall monster wielding an axe.
