Chapter 107 Green Value
Xia Wenjing took the initiative to contact Tangping Xianyu.
Xia Wenjing: My talent can promote plant growth. If you give me energy crystals and saplings, I can guarantee that they will not wither.
"Lying-down-and-couch-foolish: What more could you want?"
Jiang Baiyue roughly understood Xia Wenjing's situation, after all, they had only been in the White Moon Base for a short time before being trapped in the Eternal Night.
If you're not strong enough, it's difficult to join an existing team.
Now, at this crucial moment, if she wants to upgrade the base, the greening value must be increased.
However, the withering of the plants caused the greening value to drop directly from 40,000 to less than 20,000.
As long as Xia Wenjing's needs aren't particularly high, and she can provide what she needs, she will fulfill them.
Xia Wenjing: I want permanent residency and a staff meal every day. I need you to provide the energy crystals for this process, as my talent level is not high.
"Laying-down Salty Fish: Sure. I'll recruit you through the Mission Hall now. Go to the Mission Hall to apply and receive an energy crystal and staff meal."
Xia Wenjing smiled and, upon seeing the notification on the game panel, immediately headed to the mission lobby.
After completing the process, she successfully became an employee of the White Moon Base, and finally felt at ease.
Clutching an energy crystal, Xia Wenjing walked straight toward the peach tree with its leaves turning yellow at the entrance of the mission hall.
The peach tree's leaves had completely dried up, and after one night, most of the bark had fallen off, leaving cracks.
Xia Wenjing stroked the tree trunk, activating her talent. Green energy flowed from her palm into the tree trunk, while white energy flowed from the tree trunk through her palm into her body.
At this moment, many people were near the city wall and city gate. Apart from Xia Wenjing, no one noticed that the withered tree had sprouted new buds after the yellow leaves fell off.
...
Monsters emerged from the darkness in an endless stream. Players outside the city engaged in melee combat, while players on the city walls launched ranged attacks on the distant monsters, giving the players below a chance to catch their breath.
After obtaining the stress value lock buff from the arcade, Jiang Baiyue left the base and joined the battle team.
Roar! ...
A two-headed zombie wearing armor with spikes tilted its head forward, roaring at Jiang Baiyue, and a stench blew by.
She and the people around her were blown back several steps by the wind before they realized that this was actually a skill of the two-headed zombie.
Taking advantage of the two-headed zombie attacking a player with its back to her, Jiang Baiyue threw a Molotov cocktail at the back of the two-headed zombie's neck without hesitation.
However, the two-headed zombie was very alert, using its shield to block the player's attacks. One of its heads turned to Jiang Baiyue with a mocking smile, its mouth wide open, its arm bent backward, and used its spiked club to knock away the Molotov cocktail.
boom--!
The Molotov cocktail exploded high in the air, the shockwave and roar leaving people stunned.
Just as Jiang Baiyue was about to switch weapons, the two-headed zombie suddenly turned around and rushed in front of her. With someone behind her, she could only pick up her shield to block, but she was still knocked back several steps.
The spiked clubs, spraying blood and whistling through the air, pounded against the armed police shields.
Although the other players were frightened by the two-headed zombie's fierce attack, they still picked up weapons to fight back, relying on their high-level bulletproof vests.
Jiang Baiyue gripped the high-voltage stun gun tightly, teleported to the back of the two-headed zombie, and inserted the stun gun into the joint of its back armor.
A crackling sound rang out, and sparks danced on the armor.
The players in front immediately coordinated to prevent the two-headed zombie from turning around and retaliating.
After taking down one two-headed zombie, the surrounding two-headed zombies swarmed around and launched a group attack.
Before the items on the ground had been automatically picked up, Jiang Baiyue and the nearby players quickly scattered to avoid being surrounded and attacked.
The zombies not only grew larger but also faster, causing many players to be injured and forced to retreat back to their base for treatment.
Seeing that she had no choice but to abandon the attack, Jiang Baiyue turned to using her teleportation ability to assist the players around her.
They acted as the main attackers, harassing and surrounding the zombies, while Jiang Baiyue teleported to block the zombies from using their skills and crashing into the players.
Jiang Baiyue assigned the mercenaries to rescue work to prevent some players from being ambushed if they weren't paying attention.
"Get out of the way! It's about to self-destruct!"
"Damn it! No sportsmanship whatsoever!"
"That zombie self-destruction was disgusting...!"
With a loud bang, those who ran fast were knocked to the ground by the blast, while those who ran slowly could only take out their shields to protect themselves, and those who were quick enough even fed themselves two pills.
"It's poisonous! Can someone lend me a healing potion?!"
Jiang Baiyue shouted and threw it over: "I have one! Catch it!"
Fatty, who wasn't thin, jumped up and caught it with lightning speed. Just as he was about to eat it, he realized it was a mid-level healing potion and was stunned.
"What are you spacing out for! Take your medicine!"
The liquid splashed from the exploding pustular zombies is poisonous, continuously reducing the player's health every second. In just a few seconds while Fatty was dazed, his health dropped from 200 to 103.
After finishing his medicine, the funeral director swatted away a small bat, glanced at the fat man's not-so-thin profile, and quickly yelled to bring the person back to their senses.
"Oh, okay, this medicine... I don't feel it anymore..."
The fat man, who wasn't thin, looked up to see who had given him the medicine, but the scene was chaotic, and he couldn't spot any familiar figures no matter how many times he looked.
Jiang Baiyue walked around the base, clearing out zombies and delivering medicine to players who needed it. When she returned to the base to recover, she also took a few exhausted players back with her.
The first wave of monster attacks lasted for 4 hours, and the monster horde retreated at 8:30 PM.
"Did you really withdraw?"
One person looked out at the darkness beyond the green light but saw nothing; no monster emerged from the darkness.
His hands were shaking uncontrollably, a result of prolonged swinging.
"Probably. They can't keep attacking the base indefinitely..."
"Let's go back. Every hour we live is an hour we should cherish. I want to go soak in the hot springs and relax. Do you guys want to come?"
"Go for it! I've never been to a hot spring before I die. I want to enjoy it before I die."
"Free mushroom porridge and cornbread are available at the entrance of the base!"
Only after stopping did Jiang Baiyue have time to check on the situation at the other bases.
The first thing I noticed was the number of survivors in the communication area: a full 70,000, which isn't too bad. It's probably because not many people left the base, so the death toll wasn't too high.
That's good news. It at least means that most of the bases survived the first wave of attacks.
Mud Immortal and his sister Mud Fairy leaned on each other, dragging their heavy bodies into the base. Hearing the people around them discussing the situation of other bases in a dull manner, they silently gulped down their porridge.
Mud Immortal kept his mouth tightly shut, swallowing with an almost self-destructive urge, his mouth still tightly closed even though he couldn't contain the slightly hot porridge.
The Xianglin base was destroyed.
That stingy base commander, relying on his talent, didn't upgrade the base, and it was breached at the start of the monster attack.
The initial protective shield failed to withstand the night-stalking monsters' attacks, and the base's repair speed could not keep up with the rate of damage.
This was the last message sent by the base leader's henchman, who was also their childhood neighbor.
If she hadn't taken a break to rest and recover, she might not have seen his last words before he died.
Why didn't she be more forceful and drag them to the White Moon Base?
The clay fairy stared blankly at the porridge in the wooden bowl and said, "We will live."
A player with a missing hand silently patted the Mud Fairy's head and silently passed the bowl of porridge to the player behind her.
Jiang Baiyue sat on the ground, looking at the discussion area, and silently counted the missing bases that were mentioned.
What is the point of perseverance? Is there no end to experiencing one disaster after another?
