Chapter 49 After the Surprise Attack
Jiang Baiyue shook her head. She hadn't slept all night, her brain was all fuzzy, and she was so sleepy that she could see double.
1, 2, 3...6—!
She rubbed her eyes and stared wide-eyed—413468 coins?!
Getting rich overnight is nothing more than this. Did you kill so many zombies last night?
Wait a minute, if the zombies dropped more coins last night than the zombies in the dungeon, plus the piggy bank she equipped and the dozen or so resource boxes she opened...
It's not impossible to collect so many coins in one night, and thinking back carefully, she did have a lot of coins when she left the base to collect her loot.
At that time, she was numb and her mind had stopped, so she didn't notice anything unusual.
Within a minute or two, Jiang Baiyue realized what was happening and immediately rushed towards Xiao Hai's stall.
"Boss! Buy some materials!"
Jiang Baiyue made an exaggerated movement, slapping Xiao Hai as he was about to put the shelf away.
Xiao Hai was slightly surprised, then smiled and said, "Okay, what materials do you want to buy?"
Jiang Baiyue reported the names and quantities of the protective shield materials one by one. At first, Xiao Hai on the other side was smiling, but he gradually began to look suspicious.
"Friend, are you sure you want this much?" Xiao Hai was actually worried that the customer across the table wouldn't be able to pay. Although there were many zombies last night, which was an opportunity to earn coins, one person's strength was ultimately limited.
Based on the materials and quantities reported so far, the total amount of coins has reached more than 200,000.
"...50 parts of corrosion-resistant and wear-resistant rubber!"
"I have enough coins, don't worry, give them to me."
After finishing her long speech, Jiang Baiyue wearily rubbed her temples. She was so sleepy that she just wanted to buy the materials before Xiao Hai left and then take a long nap.
After buying the materials, Jiang Baiyue ignored Xiao Hai's questioning gaze behind her and went straight to her fragrant and soft little wooden bed.
Close the door, take off your clothes, pounce on her, and fall asleep in a second.
...
"I'm exhausted. I never expected to be so unlucky. As soon as I arrived at the White Moon Base, I encountered a large-scale zombie attack. I thought the base wouldn't be attacked by zombies."
Ultraman Light lay on the floor of the mission hall, feeling a chill run down his spine as he thought about what had happened that night.
By 4 a.m., the zombies outside the base were packed head to head, with no gaps between them. The stone walls even had cracks and were on the verge of collapse. If they hadn't been repaired again, they really wouldn't have made it to dawn.
The companion lying next to him, eyes closed, said in a weak voice, "Yeah, I almost died... snoring."
Hearing the snoring, Ultraman Light turned around and saw his companion's tired sleeping face. He felt fortunate to be alive.
"I don't know if there will be another zombie attack tonight. I've run out of materials in my backpack."
"Me too, but I have to say, the earnings last night were really high. When I went out to collect dropped items, sometimes I got 7 coins at once. I have more than 10,000 coins now."
"A lot of weapons and materials dropped, but there were also a lot of zombie coins at night. The most I ever picked up was 10 coins."
"So many? I didn't notice, but I have a total of 50,000 coins."
Ultraman Light was about to close his eyes and go to sleep when he heard the conversation around him. Startled, he opened his control panel and looked at his own.
"ah--!"
The people nearby were startled like fish suddenly jumping off a chopping board, and when they came to their senses, they glared angrily at the person who was yelling.
Ultraman Light apologized profusely, his hands clasped in remorse: "I'm so sorry, my friends..."
"What did you see? You yelled! I thought the zombies were attacking the base again..."
Ultraman Light knew the principle of not flaunting one's wealth. After all, he had just arrived at the White Moon Base and his foundation was not deep. The only people he knew were his companions who came with him.
So he was shocked when he saw the message in the chat area.
In reality, he was so surprised by the huge amount of coins in his backpack that his throat went dry. So many coins, a full 24,361 coins!
He was confused when he was collecting supplies. He knew a lot, but he hadn't expected this much.
It was totally worth it! Leaving the peach blossom base was definitely worth it!
Others were reading the chat messages when they heard Ultraman Man's Light say this, and casually chimed in with their own comments.
"I heard that several level 0 bases were breached. There was no one to defend them, and the fences weren't very strong. They were overwhelmed by the zombie horde within a few hours... Sigh."
"I guessed it, the number of survivors has decreased significantly."
"It seems like one of the level 1 bases has been breached. I see a lot of noise in the chat area; someone managed to escape using items..."
"I saw this too. It says that the base is controlled by several factions, and none of them want to spend more manpower to clear the zombies. Bah! They usually charge other players so much management and protection fees, but when a crisis comes, this is how they act!"
"It's all thanks to the unity of our White Moon Base. Otherwise, I can't even imagine what would have happened. Those of us without any equipment would have just watched helplessly as we were eaten by zombies."
"Children, eat your food! Those who haven't gone to sleep yet, have a bite before you go to sleep."
Zhang Li was so sleepy in the middle of the night that she was persuaded to rest. When she woke up in the morning, she saw some radish and meat pieces on the table. After washing them, she cooked a pot of meat soup and delivered it to the people in the mission hall one by one.
When Ultraman heard the call, a surge of warmth welled up in his heart again. Although he was unlucky, the free food delivery was something that Peach Blossom Base could never provide.
He followed the slowly moving crowd and lined up in an orderly fashion to receive the vegetable porridge.
...
Peach Blossom Base.
The bearded man kicked the person lying on the ground: "Collect materials! Collect materials! Everyone, don't sleep, hand in your materials first!"
The people on the ground, disregarding the rain, simply covered their faces with straw hats and lay down on the muddy ground.
A little girl was holding an umbrella nearby, and her mother was asleep next to her.
"...Uncle, Brother Dragon is too sleepy..."
The bearded man glared at the little girl, who was too frightened to speak.
"Get up! You're calling it a dragon and a worm? You've woken everyone up... How much material did we spend protecting you last night? Hand it over now, or your safety won't be guaranteed tonight!"
The person who was woken up was furious and handed over the materials through gritted teeth.
"I... I'm out of materials, brother. Considering how hard I worked to clear the zombies last night, I'll give you a break... Hold on, hold on a bit. Once I've rested enough, I'll go collect materials right away!"
The bearded man kicked the pleading player to the ground and said slowly, "Fine, then you'll have to hand in double the materials."
The funeral parlor worker slammed his fist into the ground, and the mud splattered on his face was less disgusting than the bearded man.
Leaving here, they risked their lives to clear out the zombies, yet they weren't treated like human beings. The base seemed to be protecting them, but without them, the base might not be able to hold on!
...
Castle Peak Base.
"Everyone, the base commander has built five new wooden cabins for you to rest in..."
"The base commander is so kind, I'm so sleepy."
"Finally, I can rest. These zombies..."
Despite his sleepiness, the soldier, holding an umbrella, went around the base to call out to the players sleeping on the muddy ground.
My cousin said that these people are all heroes who protect the base, and we can't let them sleep in the mud.
The Qingshan base only has one restaurant building, which can only accommodate a limited number of people. Moreover, only a small number of people have built wooden houses, so even though it is raining, most of them are tired and can only sleep on the muddy ground.
The buildings outside the base were vulnerable to attack at any time, and they dared not run out to avoid the rain.
Everyone was in extremely poor condition and dared not leave the base.
Chen Dong sat on a chair in the wooden cabin, looking at the 3D projection of the base with a worried expression.
The base has a population of over 400, and five wooden houses are not enough to accommodate them all; each wooden house can only hold 10 people.
"Brother, I've rested enough. I'll go out and collect materials now so we can build a few more cabins."
"Yes, I've rested enough too, I'll go with them."
“I also rested late at night, so I’m full of energy. Count me in, and we won’t go far. We’ll just collect materials nearby.”
