Seven Days of the Dead (Part 2)
The sixty-ninth day.
night.
The moon had been hanging in the sky for some time. Time was almost up and the full moon had turned blood red. The whole sky and earth were dyed blood red, making people feel fear and suffocation out of nowhere.
Hungry hungry hungry territory.
After a whole day of preparation and rest, when the time was almost up, the people on the wall became quiet.
“Here I come!”
The ground shook violently, and a terrifying roar echoed from the distant horizon. Faint figures gathered beneath the blood-red moon, gradually gathering in number.
The fishy smell hit Zeng Wei in the face and his heart trembled.
Zombies, those are all zombies!
However, the presence of the heavily armed security guards nearby gave him immense peace of mind. The combined power of their various items provided a full 120 points of shield, allowing Zeng Wei to take a deep breath and calm down.
He inexplicably believed in the territory, so when he called on everyone to join the siege this time, Zeng Wei started purchasing props without thinking too much.
Firstly, he believed he could make money, and secondly...he also wanted to make a contribution to the Disaster Day.
Looking at the rapidly approaching zombies, Zeng Wei's hands were shaking slightly.
"You're so brave, brother! Have you ever used choking before?" A member of the nearby patrol team came over with a smile on his face. Even though hundreds of zombies were roaring crazily under the wall, his expression did not change at all.
"Come on, aim downwards, don't think about anything else, just pull the trigger!" The team member raised his hand slightly to help Zeng Wei find a zombie that was about to climb up.
My hands were numb from the shock, and with a loud "bang", the zombie fell to the ground with its eyes open.
A system notification rang out in my ears—[Congratulations on killing 1 "C-level zombie" during a blood moon. You have earned the achievement: Member of the Human Alliance (all attribute values +1).]
Zeng Wei: “!” He looked at his hands in shock.
He killed...just killed a zombie like that?
Not only did I earn at least 50 points, I was even lucky enough to get an achievement!
This was just the beginning of the siege! He'd spent over a hundred points on all the gear and equipment, and already... he'd only made half of it back?
"Achievements?" The team members looked at Zeng Wei, who murmured in disbelief, with a familiar look, as if they were used to it. After all, they fought everywhere and had already achieved countless successes.
"Come on, brother. Achievements have so many benefits! But just like leveling up your skills, they're easy to get at first, but later on... you still have to put in some effort."
The team member patted Zeng Wei on the shoulder, told him to fight hard, and then went on patrol to help the next person.
Zeng Wei nodded, tentatively aimed at the next zombie, steadied his hand, and fired another shot.
This time he missed and only hit the arm. The zombie's head was shot by a team member on the sentry tower. The man waved to Zeng Wei,
Zeng Wei wasn't discouraged. Hitting the arm also earned him a share of the spoils! Even if it was only five points, it was enough for breakfast!
It’s too profitable, it’s really too profitable!
Zeng Wei only regretted that his skill level was not high enough to allow him to use more advanced weapons. Otherwise, he could just use a submachine gun and fire everywhere like his teammates, and who knows how much he would have gained!
"Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!" There was a young couple next to them who had just been instructed by the security team. At this moment, they were even more excited than Zeng Wei.
The girl's hands were very accurate, she choked one after another and screamed excitedly——
"Baby, I got a hundred points!"
"Another hundred points!"
"Hurry up, baby, there's one hiding there, don't let it get snatched away, hurry!"
What was supposed to be a defensive battle against the zombies had somehow turned into a whack-a-mole game. Everyone was eagerly scrambling for kills, fearing that they would be slow to take the lead.
Zeng Wei: “…” Unexpected.
Seeing the originally dense zombies gradually become sparse and... rare under the "enthusiastic" hungry residents.
Zeng Wei quickly raised his gun and aimed at the nearest one, fearing that his hand was not fast enough.
.
Compared to the people who were busy defending the city, Ye Miaomiao was much more relaxed.
The hard work of the territory's daily hunting trips these days was not in vain. The warehouses were overflowing with various supplies, which was the best reward.
Prioritize distributing props to team members, and sell the rest at a discount. Once these are distributed, there is no need for Ye Miaomiao to monitor them.
She came to the hotel early in the morning and found Zhang Jia's home. Of course, it wasn't just for breakfast.
"What are the current recipes for increasing combat-related attributes?"
The territory has been collecting recipes for food items, just in case. For example, the Stardew Valley collaboration "Miner's Special" that I encountered last time was a recipe that the territory had purchased with a lot of points and stored in the library.
"That's quite a lot. Is it for this city defense? I won't mention the lower-level ones," Zhang Jiajia counted them off. "The S-level ones come with a swan egg, also known as a sugar-coated fruit. It increases strength by 20 points, and especially increases shield value by 30 points!"
"It's lower. There are five or six A-level ones. Roasted potato skin increases agility, stewed mutton increases strength, and spicy hot pot restores health..."
"Some of these recipes, like Jiao Er Tang, receive bonuses due to historical traditions. S-ranked sugar-coated fruit is a traditional Chengdu snack. Some receive bonuses due to game collaborations, and there are countless other reasons."
Ye Miaomiao listened to him and watched his movements.
At this moment, Zhang Jiajia was frying sugar-coated fruits - he expected that today would be the day of the zombie siege, and many people would need similar food, so he made some in advance before Ye Miaomiao issued the task.
Brown sugar is being boiled in the oil in the pot. Sweet bubbles are coming out with a sizzling sound, and the aroma is fragrant.
The small doughs that have been kneaded in advance are arranged neatly on the plate. When the oil temperature is high enough, the doughs are put in one by one and turned over. From time to time, the meatballs are covered with brown sugar, colored, and an attractive brown sugar crust appears on the surface.
At this time, pick it out with a bamboo stick, put it in a bamboo winnowing basket, sprinkle it with sugar and sesame seeds, roll it a few times, and it's done.
The sugar-coated fruit is crispy on the outside and glutinous on the inside, with rich brown sugar and a nice texture between the teeth. No wonder it is one of the three wonders of Qingshiqiao, a traditional snack in Chengdu.
Ye Miaomiao happily skewered three or four of them, and after eating them slowly, she indeed obtained the properties that Zhang Jiajia mentioned.
The shield value may not be used, but the strength value can affect the weapon damage, which is different.
"This is good stuff, one skewer per person." Ye Miaomiao wiped the brown sugar from the corner of her mouth and said generously, "Grade A food will be added directly to today's menu. Today, all food related to defending the city will be 20% off."
"Okay!" Zhang Jiajia agreed, and quickly instructed everyone to take out the potato skins, mutton, etc. to start cooking.
The fragrance immediately spread out.
Later, many people found that similar food was cheaper, and after eating it, their various attribute values skyrocketed and their shields increased, so they decided to join the siege on the spur of the moment.
Of course, this is a later story.
With the help of various props, the siege at night is almost certain to succeed, if not foolproof.
All kinds of damage items were moved into the sentry tower, so if there was a one in ten thousand chance of an accident, they could be repaired immediately.
At night, just as Ye Miaomiao had expected, the attack from the Hungry Hungry territory was so fierce that a large number of zombies were repelled without even using props.
Under the blood-red moonlight, the offensive changed, and the hungry residents became the hunters, eager to rush down and chase the zombies to bite them.
However, not everything goes smoothly.
The two of them rode a steam locomotive and hurried over from Yunshen Yuanshun. They looked panicked and anxious as they found Ye Miaomiao.
"Lord Ye, it's bad, Yunshen Yuanshun can't hold on any longer!"
