Chapter 69 The Second Night Raid
Chimei pulled her collar tighter to block the cold wind, and hissed as she said to the patrolling men on the city wall, "It's time for your shift to change. You can go and rest."
"Okay! Be careful!"
The patrol leader of the first team sent a message to his teammates in the distance to gather and change shifts, and nodded to the patrol leader of the second team.
Chimera is not good at fighting and her physical strength is not very strong, so when she happened to see the mission hall recruiting patrol team members, she didn't think twice and relied on her 3 years of experience in revising resumes to exaggerate her talents.
Ultimately, he successfully applied for and became the captain of the patrol team.
Chimera waved to her 15 teammates behind her, urging them to hurry up and take over: "Go quickly, others are waiting to go back and rest. Cheer up, if you dare to slack off and sleep, you'll be replaced."
This is a dangerous world. On her first day here, Chimera witnessed a person being smashed to pieces by a zombie bear, and she immediately understood the danger of this world.
She dared not leave the base, so she cherished the opportunity to stay at the White Moon Base.
During patrols, she kept a close eye on everything, constantly patrolling around the base's walls, alerting her teammates, and observing for any unusual activity in any direction.
For more than 10 days now, thanks to the protective shield, we have been safe every day, and there has been no recurrence of the large-scale zombie attack that happened last time.
"Actually, with the protective shield, everything will be fine."
"Captain, don't be so tense. Look at you, you're so tense you're getting wrinkles."
"Ouch, it's so cold. The wind is like a knife. Why isn't this protective shield blocking the wind?"
"It's good enough that it can keep out the rain. Many bases have been flooded, and we're organizing people to drain the water every day."
"We're lucky, hehe, we've arrived at our destination. We almost ended up at the Qingshan base back then."
"Luckily, I was staking out a sewing shop and found a coat. My dad and I swapped some. I wore it during my night patrol, and my body temperature really went up several degrees. If I had a complete set, I think I would never be afraid of the cold again."
"I was first in line today, and I didn't even buy all the materials. They said there weren't enough to make the ingredients. I hope the others can help out and gather more materials."
Chimera clapped her hands, interrupting her teammates who were chatting. These guys were on guard duty nearby and were walking slowly without any hurry.
"Hurry up. Get to your posts."
"Yes, yes, Captain!"
"Received, received!"
Chimera sensed something was wrong and turned her head.
The sound of rushing water arose, but it was not the usual sound of water flowing downwards or being disturbed by the movement of ordinary fish.
The faint sounds from afar were clearly transmitted to the chimera's ears; her gift was extraordinary hearing, or as she put it, "thousand-mile hearing."
She can hear sounds from very, very far away, and this ability has helped her escape many crises. She absolutely believes in the messages her talent conveys to her.
"Everyone, stay alert!"
Chimera shouted to alert his teammates who were on guard duty nearby, and then immediately sent a message to his teammates on guard duty in other directions on the city wall.
"It's pitch black. Is it possible that a boss monster is approaching?"
"I can't hear anything, the raindrops are too noisy."
"Even with a flashlight, I can't see clearly. My field of vision is really poor today..."
"!! It seems like it happened last time too..."
Whoosh—!
A huge, monstrous shadow, seemingly with four outstretched arms, suddenly emerged from the water, the force of which slammed the water against the protective shield.
Chimera and her teammates were startled and couldn't help but take two steps back, looking up at the monster.
"Enemy attack!"
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack—!"
After a moment of shock, the man on the left of the chimera immediately pulled out a megaphone and shouted at the top of his lungs into the base.
"Enemy attack! All personnel, prepare for battle!"
Chimera's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly sent messages to everyone she had added as friends in the base, especially to "Lying Flat Salty Fish".
She was the first to send the enemy attack information to the base commander of the White Moon Base.
Jiang Baiyue was fast asleep when she suddenly had a mysterious feeling. She heard loudspeaker noises and rapid footsteps and voices from her dazed state, and her brain, which had been shut down, immediately became clear.
"Enemy attack—!"
Upon opening the panel, she found that Chimera had also sent her a message and sent a picture of the monster.
Jiang Baiyue looked around while getting dressed. When she went out, she opened the chat area and found that several bases had also experienced monster attacks.
It seems this isn't just targeting the White Moon base; it's yet another large-scale monster siege.
"Wake up! Wake up!"
"Monsters are attacking the city! Get up and help!"
A patrol team had just finished their shift and were still awake, some even having a late-night snack. They were the first to hear the announcement over the loudspeaker.
The whole team immediately started shouting and some even banged on the wooden door to wake their companions.
Jiang Baiyue walked briskly along the road and immediately built four more arrow towers, then sent out several notices.
[Monster attack at night. All combat personnel and support staff are requested to proceed to the mission lobby to collect torches and miner's hats for free.]
A middle-aged woman, carrying a pot, skillfully handed it to the team leader from last time. Upon hearing the announcement and seeing that many people were already setting up stoves, she decided to help deliver torches and miners' helmets.
“I have a flashlight, but I don’t need it for the time being. I’ll take it and deliver it to those who need it.”
Gu Zilin and several children also raised their hands to help deliver torches and miner's hats.
"Let's go deliver the torches too!"
"Let's go too."
[Monster attack at night. Logistics personnel, please proceed to the warehouse to collect ingredients to prepare food for the combat troops.]
"Hey, the base chief provided the ingredients this time. We don't have to contribute."
"Then I'll earn fewer points."
"Oh, that seems to be the case. The base now has farmland, so we can't contribute ingredients for free anymore."
"You have plenty of corn, right? Let's make corn porridge. You have a butcher's knife. Give us a chance to practice our cooking skills, okay?"
With a butcher's knife and his daughter, Pipi Shrimp Not Blind, he skillfully began preparations to cook the first pot of porridge.
Hearing this, she laughed and said, "Set up a couple more pots, and everyone can take turns practicing their skills. Tonight is sure to be another tough battle..."
[Monsters are attacking at night. Players who craft fishing tools such as nets and rods are requested to go to the warehouse to collect materials to craft related tools or items.]
"Old Zhang, the fishmonger, hahaha, aren't you worried about not having enough materials? Now you can get materials for free."
"After tonight, I feel like your skill level will definitely improve again. I'm so envious."
"It's always good to have a skill."
"I've been watching Old Zhang for days, but I still haven't learned it. I'm just not smart enough..."
Old Zhang, the fishmonger, wasn't used to being flattered like that. He was rather quiet and reserved, always keeping to himself.
His wife handles all the social interactions with the outside world, and now he looks at his wife, who has been a professional fish seller for ten years.
A professional fish seller of ten years: "It's all thanks to everyone for taking care of us two old folks. If my skills improve in the future, I'll give everyone discounts."
"Okay, okay, we'll remember that."
"atmosphere!"
A professional fish seller for ten years: "Let's go get the materials first. Is anyone interested in learning? There will definitely be a lot of people using fishing nets tonight, and Old Zhang can't handle it all by himself."
