Chapter 24 Safe Zone
After the few people discussed it, Luo Mei was the first to go down the stairs along the rope of Flying Tiger Claw.
Next came Ji Yan who was carrying Fang Lianjiao, followed by Jiao Yang, Tan He who was carrying Zhao Han, Ye Ziang, and Yu Yao who was at the rear.
The group left Xinxin Shopping Mall smoothly.
Fang Lianjiao's condition was getting worse and worse. Her hands and feet were tied tightly and her mouth was blocked.
Since they came out, Jiao Yang has been carrying Zhao Han. Zhao Han refused to walk beside them, which made Jiao Yang so angry that he kept glaring at her.
Zhao Han ignored him and just kept snuggling into Tan He's arms.
After clearing the zombies all the way, they arrived at the parking lot. Yu Yao said to Jiao Yang quickly, "Get in our car."
Jiao Yang was pleasantly surprised: "Thank you, thank you!"
Yu Yao and Luo Mei are very powerful. In their car, safety can be better guaranteed and we don’t have to face Zhao Han. That’s great!
"You're welcome, get in the car." After saying that, he was about to get in the car, ready to leave before the zombies not far away caught up with him.
She really didn't have the strength to chop it!
Zhao Han became anxious when he saw this, "Aren't you going to take us to the car?"
The car they drove when they came here was not parked here.
Yu Yao quickly glanced at her and said coldly: "Give me your life, and I will live for you."
"Hahahahahahahahaha~" Luo Mei couldn't help but burst into laughter. She swiftly opened the car door and got in without even looking at Zhao Han.
Then he stepped on the accelerator and drove away without paying any attention to Zhao Han.
Ji Yan and Ye Ziang looked at each other, turned around and gripped their weapons tightly, while fighting against the zombies that were chasing them, they moved towards where they parked the car.
As for Zhao Han and Tan He, if they can catch up, then catch up. If they can’t, then just leave them alone.
......
The return journey was relatively smooth. There were not many zombies encountered, and most of them were knocked away by Luo Mei.
Yu Yao simply closed her eyes and rested, while checking the talismans and equipment she had obtained from killing the zombies.
Almost all she got from killing zombies were talismans and materials.
Five talismans that condense the strongest attack of a first-level superpower zombie.
Luo Mei might have a novice protection period, and the drop rate is good.
In addition to the two refining materials, a charm - [Linlang Charm] and a [Mithril Bracelet] that shortens the skill cooldown by 20% were also revealed.
The Linlang Amulet is suitable for people with psychic abilities.
It has the effect of reducing power consumption by 20% and increasing the strength of psychic powers by 30%.
When a fatal attack is detected, the absolute defense barrier will be automatically triggered with a cooldown period of 7 days.
This attribute value is already very good in low-level equipment.
Yu Yao thought about it and decided to keep the bracelet, but the amulet...
Only one piece of equipment of the same type can be worn in the game.
Now that she has the amulet, the Heaven-Covering Stone, she cannot wear other amulets, otherwise the Heaven-Covering Stone will be automatically replaced.
Although the Heaven-Covering Stone has a seven-day cooldown period, it has to be equipped in order to cool down, which almost cuts off the possibility for Yu Yao to replace it with other amulets.
It's a useless thing, and its attributes are not compatible with her. Luo Mei had to kill it herself.
Why not...give it to her?
The two of them were temporarily teaming up. The stronger she was, the more profit he could make.
Even if she has bad intentions, the Linlang Amulet will backfire on her.
This is because all items produced by the system, whether they are equipment or skills, will be automatically restricted once assembled.
Unable to hurt Yu Yao.
This would actually... put a lock on Luo Mei!
Yu Yao's eyes flickered slightly as she looked out the window silently.
......
Twenty minutes later, several people found the stationing point through contacting Captain Fang on the walkie-talkie.
Jinjiang Garden Community Activity Center.
When Captain Fang saw their car coming back, he hurried over to greet them and asked, "Comrade Yu Yao, Comrade Luo Mei, did you have a smooth journey?"
"It went very smoothly. Thank you, Captain Fang."
"That's good. Tomorrow morning, we will set off back to the safe zone."
"Okay, we can go anytime."
"Okay, then you guys go get some rest, and I'll see you in the morning."
"See you in the morning."
Because of the injured Fang Lianjiao, Yu Yao and others took the initiative to find a room next to the activity center and rest for the night.
The next morning, Captain Fang personally brought them some water and compressed biscuits.
Yu Yao and Luo Mei did not want to take advantage of the soldiers, so they politely refused again.
The same went for Ye Ziang and the others, except Zhao Han who was not very happy about it.
Captain Fang did not force it. After announcing the departure time, he hurried to make arrangements for other people.
......
At eight o'clock, the convoy set off on time.
This time, Zhao Han and Tan He were not allowed to get into Ye Ziang's car. Although Zhao Han was unhappy, it was of no use.
Ji Yan was a little worried that Fang Lianjiao would turn into a zombie, so he said to Jiao Yang: "Jiao Yang, take Fang Lianjiao to our car."
"good."
Now, Yu Yao and Luo Mei were the only two left in their car.
With no outsiders around, Yu Yao directly handed the Linlang amulet to Luo Mei.
Luo Mei looked at the exquisite amulet in Yu Yao's palm, a little puzzled: "What is this? An amulet?"
Yu Yao did not answer, but said: "You will know when you put it on."
Luo Mei thought of the weapon on her body.
Oddly enough, she knew all the information about the knife the moment she got it.
She held the amulet in her palm and was wondering how to put it on, when she saw the amulet disappear from her palm.
At the same time, the function and information of the Linlang amulet also appeared in her mind.
Luo Mei's breathing stagnated and the car shook for a moment.
Yu Yao quickly grabbed the handle above her head and reminded him, "Stay calm. It's too unfair to die in a car accident."
Luo Mei pursed her lips, scratched the leather cover on the steering wheel with her slender fingers, and her voice trembled slightly.
"Sister, don't take this thing out casually in the future."
She didn't want to find out where these things came from. She was just afraid that an innocent man would be convicted of possessing a treasure, which would bring unnecessary trouble to Yu Yao.
Yu Yao chuckled and said calmly: "No, I only give it to people I trust."
Luo Mei turned her head to look at Yu Yao's translucent and stunning profile under the sunlight, a smile appeared on the corner of her lips, and her fox eyes were surprisingly bright, "I am someone you trust?"
"Um."
"Do you agree to join our team?"
"Do I have the final say on this?"
"It's alright! They will definitely like you. If they don't accept you, I'll go with you!"
Yu Yao raised her eyebrows slightly and turned her head to look at her in surprise, "You are so anxious to find them, and you still want to go with me?"
"I just need to make sure they are all okay. Why do I have to follow a bunch of grown men?"
At this point, she paused for a moment and continued, "But it would be better to be with them. The two of us are still a little weak."
Yu Yao laughed again, "You are very contradictory."
"...It is a bit true."
Yu Yao: “…”
"But, sister, I won't ask for it for nothing. When I have the crystal core, I will give you everything except what I need."
"Um."
Although I hadn't originally intended to give her anything for free, Luo Mei's tactfulness... was indeed pleasing.
......
The journey back to the safe zone was smoother with the military's escort.
Yu Yao and Luo Mei didn't even have to get out of the car and finally arrived at the hot spring resort before dusk.
Before the end of the world, this place was a famous place for spending money, integrating hot spring baths, dining, entertainment, accommodation, and sightseeing. It covers a huge area, and those who can afford to come here are all rich or noble.
The houses here are also built solidly and are still usable even after an earthquake.
It’s just that acid rain has destroyed some walls and plants, making the scenery much less attractive.
But no one will dislike these.
Today, this place has been completely taken over and controlled by the army and turned into a temporary safe zone.
You need to have a physical examination when entering the safe zone, and if you have any wounds on your body, you need to stay under observation for 24 hours.
Fang Lianjiao was naturally left in the observation room. Jiao Yang was worried about her, so he stayed with her.
After entering the safe zone, Captain Fang led them to the trading hall.
This used to be the resort's office building, but now it has been converted directly into a trading hall.
Registration into the area, renting a house, receiving tasks, handing in tasks, and exchanging points are all completed here, and it is clear how they are located on different floors.
Yu Yao and the other person went to the rental window to take a look first.
Those who enter the safe zone can stay in the free tent area.
You can also pay some materials to rent a house, and parking spaces also need to be rented with materials.
The amount of materials required to be paid varies depending on the level of residence.
They looked at the rental information sheet and finally chose a two-bedroom apartment with one pound of food per day.
If you rent for ten days, you can park your car for free in the apartment's garage for ten days.
It’s not cheap, but resources are too tight now, so this is the only solution.
Yu Yao simply took out a ten-pound bag of rice that she and Luo Mei had collected and went through the rental procedures.
After getting the key, they went to the mission hall on the second floor to take a look.
The safe zone does not support idle people. All those who enter the safe zone for free must complete at least one task every day to earn points and exchange them for daily necessities.
There are many kinds of tasks. Those who are capable can go to the surrounding area to clear out zombies, search and rescue survivors, help find people or collect supplies.
If someone has no ability and dares not to leave the safe zone.
You can build houses, walls, clean the base, do logistics, etc.
Of course, doctors or people with special abilities will be recruited first, paid well, and protected by the military.
As I said, people with ability and talent will be treated preferentially no matter what the circumstances!
