"Boss, we've searched everywhere, but we can't find any food!"
"Are you stupid! If it's not outside, it must be inside! It's definitely inside."
Da Zhuang stopped the leader from going in: "Sister, let's not go in!"
"If we get caught, we'll lose out. I've heard that the little general store doesn't require crystal cores; you can exchange enough trash for food."
"Are you stupid? How could there be such a good thing? Who opens a shop and doesn't make money?"
Da Zhuang scratched his head: "That seems to be true!"
"Hey...have you guys finished chatting?"
"Not yet..." The eldest sister, who was about to reply, suddenly realized something, stiffly turned her head, and looked at Zuo Qingya.
Startled, she cried out "Oh my god!" and grabbed Dazhuang, running away.
"Huh??? Am I that scary?"
The leader dragged Dazhuang along and ran for who knows how many streets. Only when she saw that no one was chasing them did she breathe a sigh of relief.
"My God! That scared the hell out of me."
Dazhuang's chest heaved; he was quite frightened. It was the first time he had ever done something so petty, and he had been caught. It must have terrified them.
Seeing that everyone had run away, Zuo Qingya ignored them and entered her consciousness space to check on the condition of the shop.
"We don't have many points left, so we need to add more items to the shelves."
Zuo Qingya planted countless things in one night until they lost all their spiritual energy before she stopped.
Zuo Qingya waited for several days but still didn't see her mother.
"I don't know where my mother went; there's still no news."
"Forget it, I'm not waiting anymore."
Zuo Qingya left a message for her mother in the base's mission hall, bought a map, and then left the base.
In order to earn points, she decided to visit all the bases and open her shop all over the world.
With so many shops, I don't believe I'll ever run out of points.
Zuo Qingya opened the map and circled Hope City and Steel Fortress. Next stop, Zuo Qingya would find the closest one.
City of Survival
"This is it."
Zuo Qingya took a mountain path, but the trees along the path were so dense that she lost her way as soon as she entered.
She thought she was walking straight ahead, but when she encountered difficult places, Zuo Qingya would take detours. However, as she wandered around, she got lost.
When Zuo Qingya emerged from the forest, all she saw was the steel fortress.
"Well???"
"Sweetie, I think I need a compass. Do you have any in the system shop?"
"Yes, host."
"Buy me one."
"Okay, host, that's a total of 5 points."
"good!"
Having obtained the compass, Zuo Qingya didn't rush to leave; she actually came back—that must be fate.
Let's go inside the base and rest!
"Hey... sweetie, do you have GPS?"
"Sorry, host, no!"
"All right!"
Zuo Qingya returned to the base and discovered that the two thieves from last night were actually scavenging for trash, and had even formed a queue. It was quite a strange sight.
The leader felt she was being watched, so she habitually turned her head and saw Zuo Qingya.
She was so frightened that she quickly covered her face with something.
Da Zhuang was confused. "Big Sister, what's wrong?"
The leader gestured for them to shush, saying, "Don't talk, just cover your face."
"oh!"
Zuo Qingya ignored them and went straight back to her rented apartment.
I'm sorting through the trash I picked up yesterday.
The next day, Zuo Qingya learned her lesson. If she didn't know the way, she could ask someone who did!
Zuo Qingya clapped her hands, "Done."
In front of Zuo Qingya was a sign that read, "[Seeking guidance! Anyone heading towards Survival City, please guide me! I have absolutely no sense of direction and don't know the way. I'll offer 50 intermediate crystal cores as a reward, just take me to Survival City.]"
Zuo Qingya enlarged the words "Seeking Belts," "City of Survival," and "50 Intermediate Crystal Cores" by one time, making them clearer to everyone.
After finishing writing, Zuo Qingya stood in the mission hall holding the sign, waiting for someone to come and find her.
She originally intended to post a quest in the quest lobby. But seeing that someone else had posted a sign at the entrance, she decided to give it a try.
As soon as she finished writing the sign, several groups of people came over to ask about it.
Some people have bad intentions just because she's a girl.
Some people came because of the high pay she offered.
Zuo Qingya chose the one that caught her eye the most.
I've seen Zuo Qingya from the Wolf Path Squad on the squad leaderboard.
Since they're on the leaderboard, their skills must be pretty good.
She was contacted by a cute little boy with dyed green hair, who looked rather adorable, but had an air of maturity about him. How should I put it? It was kind of funny.
"Hello! My name is Ding Dong. What's your name? How should I address you?"
"Hello! Zuo Qingya, you can just call me Xiaoya."
"Xiaoya, are you all alone?"
Zuo Qingya frowned.
Seeing Zuo Qingya frown, Ding Dong quickly explained, "That's not what I meant. I was just asking. You don't have to answer."
Zuo Qingya shook her head, "It's okay, I'm all alone."
"Oh!" Ding Dong didn't dare to ask any more questions.
Once the silence fell, Ding Dong felt extremely uncomfortable, but he kept talking about his team.
Thanks to Ding Dong's tireless introduction, Zuo Qingya learned that the Wolf Path Squad was an elite squad that was quickly formed in the context of the apocalyptic disaster. Although its size was not as large as that of large survivor teams, it demonstrated outstanding capabilities in terms of equipment, training, and combat effectiveness.
The squad initially consisted of a few experienced fighters who, in the early days of the apocalypse, attracted a group of like-minded survivors with their outstanding leadership and combat skills. Over time, the team has grown to dozens of members, including fighters, scouts, medics, and logistical support personnel.
"Can we leave today?"
Ding Dong nodded: "I'll be leaving in a bit."
"So fast?"
"Um... I came with my brother to pick up the deposit, and I didn't expect to see you at the door."
"Your brother?"
"Hmm..." she said, looking at a tall man who walked out of the mission hall.
Ding Dong waved and called out, "Brother, over here."
When Ding Kai came over, Ding Dong began to introduce, "Brother, this is Xiao Ya. She's also coming with us to the City of Survival."
"Xiaoya, this is my brother, his name is Ding Kai. He's older than all of us, you can just call him Brother Kai."
Zuo Qingya nodded, "Hello."
"Hello!"
Ding Kai pulled Ding Dong aside and asked him about the situation.
Zuo Qingya didn't wait long before the two returned.
"I understand your situation. Let's go!"
"good."
Ding Kai walked in front, and Ding Dong was at the same level as her. Ding Dong's mouth never stopped, and she was very noisy.
"team leader."
The first thing you see is a modified off-road vehicle, which looks quite new.
"Captain, who is this little girl?"
The speaker was a middle-aged man wearing glasses, who looked rather rugged with a stubble beard. He looked curiously at Zuo Qingya, who was following behind Ding Kai.
