Chapter 30: One Step Further
The man did not expect to be attacked. He only had time to use his psychic power to block the bullet shot at his forehead, but he failed to avoid the earth spikes that pierced his calves, the water arrows that passed through his chest, and the attack that turned into a purple lightning sword and pierced the back of his head.
At the moment of his last breath, he didn't even know how he was exposed.
"Two-fifths of the mission has been completed. Congratulations to the tasker for being one step closer to completing the mission."
The communicator's voice echoed in Ripple's mind.
After the man fell, the others ran out of the room, especially Sun Yi, who asked in confusion:
“Is there something wrong with this person?”
"He is the leader of these doomsday maniacs, and he possesses psychic powers, so he avoided your perception."
Lianyi explained calmly.
Sun Yi thought about it and nodded uncertainly. The other team members were also confused, but did not ask any more questions. A fire-type mutant stepped forward and threw a fireball, completely turning the man into ashes.
After the others dispersed, Eagle Mastiff and Eagle Wing gathered together and asked Lianyi directly:
"Purple Eagle, how did you find out?"
"Women's intuition!"
"to be honest!"
"All the captured survivors were like frightened birds, except for him, who had a ruddy complexion and was neatly dressed. Although the lie he made up was very convincing, he smelled of perfume. Which prisoner would be so particular about spraying perfume?"
Lianyi explained very seriously.
She would never say that it was because she had seen this man in her original body's memory, and that it was he who teamed up with Yun Rou to kill her original body, who had become a level seven zombie.
In addition, from the God's perspective, this man and Yun Rou had been stirring up trouble in the small world. Now that he is dead, her mission progress has been advanced. Obviously, killing the other party was the right decision.
“Why didn’t I smell it?”
Eagle Mastiff asked in confusion.
"Tsk! Can you tell the difference between toilet water and Dior perfume?"
Ripple asked with bared teeth.
"Is there a difference? Aren't they both very pungent?"
Eagle Mastiff answered in a very straightforward manner.
Lianyi cast a disdainful look and walked away, not wanting to chat with the straight man.
The next day, the people who stayed behind at the resort escorted the three researchers to the base and joined the main force.
The Black Hawk team then sent a large truck to take the survivors to the survival base in City L. After resting for a day, everyone continued on their journey.
Because the cancer of "Apocalypse Maniacs" was eradicated, the survivors hiding nearby also bravely came out and began to move towards the survivor base in L City, carrying all their belongings.
The group stayed at the survivor base in City L for only three days, replenished gasoline and other high-consumption resources, and then continued on their way. They mainly raided the lair of the doomsday maniacs, as they had a lot of good things in their warehouse.
After Eagle Wing discussed with several team leaders, he divided the resources into four parts and gave them to the space ability users of each team for safekeeping.
This is done so as not to put all eggs in one basket. If the team is forced to separate midway, each will have sufficient supplies. Moreover, it allows all participants in the operation to see the real benefits, which facilitates future coordinated operations.
The members of the Black Panther Squad and the Rising Sun Squad were very pleased with Eagle Wing's decision. The military was sincere and did not want them to be cannon fodder, so their progress was obviously faster and their cooperation became more tacit.
The convoy advanced for a month without stopping. During this period, many convoys joined and left. They joined in order to seek refuge and left because they had reached a survivor base suitable for permanent residence.
After successfully entering the next province, the team decided to rest for two days at the nearest base in K City.
The survivor base in City K is no smaller than that in City W. The arrival of their huge convoy naturally attracted the attention of the person in charge of City K, who immediately arranged for people to inquire about the situation of their convoy. He was relieved to learn that they would leave after staying at the base for two days.
The team temporarily rented a three-story building that could barely accommodate everyone. Everyone started to wash up, organize their belongings, and then split up to exchange the necessary supplies.
The three researchers said that they also wanted to go to the trading market in City K to see if they could find some equipment. Eagle Wing arranged a team of six to accompany them, but only two of them were allowed to go out at a time, and one had to stay at the residence. This was for their safety, and the three did not object.
After Lianyi had packed everything, she took the Sun siblings out to see if there were any good things worth exchanging.
After the three of them had enthusiastically toured the entire trading market and found some very practical mutant plants, they returned to their residence. However, they found that the atmosphere was a little strange.
When Yingyi saw Lianyi and the others coming back, he said:
"Today, No. 1 and No. 2 went out and found clues to an important scientific research instrument. They want to find that instrument, but the task is difficult."
Lianyi felt a bit of a headache after hearing this. These scientific research giants could really cause them trouble. She then looked at No. 1 and No. 2 (code names given to them in order not to reveal their real names).
The two men, who were almost a hundred years old in total, smiled awkwardly at the crowd. They knew that this request was a bit unreasonable, but they had to make it.
"What level of mission?"
"SS-level."
Eagle Mastiff replied, sitting on a stool with his arms folded.
"It is indeed quite difficult. What is the specific situation?"
Lianyi also walked over and sat down and asked Yingyi.
“This is the highest-level research institute in K City. The person in charge received a distress signal from the institute, so they organized a rescue operation. At the same time, they also wanted to move the research materials and important instruments inside back to the base.
Unfortunately, all the people sent out were wiped out and never came back, but the distress signal continued. They sent two more groups of people to investigate the situation, but these two teams also disappeared one after another.
After that, some corpse-hunting teams took on this mission without believing in evil, but they never returned, so the mission level has been upgraded again and again, and now it is SS level. "
After hearing this, everyone fell silent. Unknown dangers are the most terrifying.
"Three bosses, do you really need those instruments?"
Ripple asked with a smile.
Number One, Number Two, and Number Three looked at each other. Despite Lian Yi's oppressive gaze, the three of them nodded. Number Three thought for a moment and explained:
"This instrument can speed up the extraction of crystal core energy and increase the utilization rate of crystal cores. For example, a zero-level crystal core could be fired ten times before, but after using improved parts, one crystal core can be fired fifty times."
“.”
The meaning is very clear, these instruments must be taken down.
"Let's discuss this further. You three can go and rest first!"
Hawkwing said politely.
The three of them quickly went upstairs to rest, and the rest of them gathered together and began to discuss whether to take on this task.
