Chapter 179 Mission Hall
A while after returning to the villa, Zhang Ting came back with Yaya and Qin Mei.
Looking at the three people covered in filth and the familiar smell of zombie brains, Hua Yang couldn't help but vomit, covering her mouth and turning her head to the side to breathe fresh air.
Yaya looked at Hua Yang curiously, thinking that Hua Yang was intoxicated by their smell, so she moved a little further away and said, "Sister Hua Yang, are you okay?"
Zhang Ting looked at Hua Yang, stroked her belly, and said jokingly: "Hua Yang, are you pregnant?"
Hua Yang nodded, knowing that she could hide her pregnancy for a while but not forever. She decided to tell her parents about her pregnancy after everyone came back.
After all, the people here live close by, and once her belly gets bigger, she won’t be able to hide it anymore.
Zhang Ting was just joking, but she hit the nail on the head. Just as she was about to walk into Hua Yang, Hua Yang held her head with one hand and turned her head away, "Sister Ting, I can't stand this smell recently, ugh." She vomited a few times, vomiting out stomach acid, and her stomach felt extremely uncomfortable.
"By the way, where have you been this morning? You were gone when I woke up!"
Yaya said excitedly at this time, "Sister, we went outside to fight zombies together this morning! Look, I killed two of them! I also found crystal cores in their brains!" Yaya took out the crystal cores from her pocket and showed them to Hua Yang like she was presenting a treasure.
"Zombies are such ugly monsters, but the crystal core in their heads is so beautiful!" Zhang Ting also smiled faintly.
"Sister Ting, are you there too?"
Zhang Ting nodded and said, "Yes, I always followed you guys to pick up ready-made things, both food and drink. Although I was pregnant, I still wanted to help. Fortunately, everyone took care of me and didn't abandon me."
"Hua Yang, don't underestimate Sister Ting. Sister Ting is just as ferocious as you when she chops zombies with an axe!" Qin Mei went into the kitchen, took out a set of cups, and washed them with tap water.
Seeing this, Hua Yang quickly washed the cups again with the supernatural water and gave instructions.
"The water source of the tap water is very likely to have been contaminated by the virus. People with special abilities may not be infected if they use it to bathe or wash themselves, but you haven't awakened your special abilities yet, so you are likely to be infected, especially you, Sister Ting. You are pregnant, you can't take any risks!"
After Hua Yang finished speaking, she added spiritual water from the space into several cups, handed them to the three people, and drank a cup herself.
"You guys are back, where are the others?"
Qin Mei drank the water, which had that familiar sweet and refreshing taste. "The security base has set up a mission hall. Everyone can go there to see if there are any suitable missions to take. Sister Ting is pregnant, and I am not in good physical condition, so I came back first."
"Mission Hall?" In the past, each major base would also have a mission hall, where there would be some missions issued by the base or individuals. For example, searching a certain area to retrieve some designated supplies or food, and bringing them back to the mission issuer in exchange for a designated reward.
Also, the mission target is the crystal core, and the designated reward will be some food supplies, etc. There are always various missions and rewards, and there are many weird ones.
In the past, in the early days of the apocalypse, few people would accept tasks posted by individuals. The main reason was the issue of integrity. For example, someone posted a task that required a box of instant noodles or ten kilograms of rice, and the reward was a level three crystal core.
After so long in the apocalypse, things like instant noodles and rice have already been looted in the city's outskirts where there are fewer zombies, and only the large supermarkets in the city center still have some.
If a team desperately went to the city center to bring back a box of instant noodles, they might lose a few members or even the whole team. The people who came back finally handed in the task, but the publisher could not hand over the task reward.
Although the guards at the base punished the publisher, the casualties were already dead, and killing the publisher to vent their anger would be of no avail.
Although Hua Yang didn't know the true strength of a base leader like Situ Mao, if something like this happened in the early stage, it would be a great test for the base's stability maintenance.
However, this did not reduce Hua Yang's interest in this task hall. She decided to go and see if there were any reward items that she was interested in, and consider taking some tasks, or exchanging them directly with the task publisher.
Yaya had originally come back with Zhang Ting and Qin Mei, but now she knew Hua Yang was going to the mission hall, so she volunteered to lead the way for her.
The mission hall was originally a real estate sales office, about 200 to 300 square meters. Looking around, the 200-square-meter area was packed with people. When Hua Yang and Yaya walked in, they were filled with the stench of sweat and zombie brains, which almost sent her away.
Hua Yang covered her mouth and nose as she walked in. The hall was bright. She found that the mission hall was actually powered on. A small electronic screen was on the wall facing the door. The various missions were displayed in red and green fonts. Red represented base missions, and green represented personal missions.
On both sides of the gate, there are some rules for the task handover in the task hall. Generally speaking, the tasks on the electronic screen are protected by the base forces. If either the task issuer or the task acceptor violates the rules, they will be punished by the base for violating the rules. The most serious punishment is being hunted down by the base.
Hua Yang turned around and saw that there was an elevator with the light on in the hall. There were two level 2 fire-type psychics guarding the elevator door, and there was a VIP label on the elevator.
This Situ Mao is quite interesting! She took a quick look at the task requirements on the screen. The person who entrusted the task hall to post the task also needs to pay 10% of the task reward as a commission, which is basically protection money. Throughout the day, whether it was supplies or crystal cores, Situ Mao was the biggest beneficiary.
I just don't know if he has the ability to maintain the stability of the mission hall.
Hua Yang glanced at the task list jumping on the screen, thinking of taking a few tasks to test the waters. So she picked a few tasks with crystal cores as rewards, and went to an office to register. She walked around the crowded hall again, but didn't see her parents Xiaoyue and the others. She thought they might have gone back first, so she left with Yaya.
When I got home, everyone was in their own yard. On the ground in the yard were several kilograms of rice, some canned vegetables and fruits, and a large fish weighing six or seven kilograms.
Seeing Hua Yang bringing Yaya back, Gu Xiaoyue jumped over first.
"Yangyang, look, these are what we got today!"
Hua Yang looked at everyone's dirty clothes and faces and smiled. Although everyone lived in the relatively safe enemy created by themselves, they still chose to go out and contact the outside world. They were not only trying to adapt to the end of the world and grow up, but also working hard for their own survival.
However, when Hua Yang saw the things on the ground, she was still a little confused.
Although there weren't many things on the ground, most of them were foods that were in short supply in the end times. These things couldn't be bought without three or four hundred crystal cores.
Although they were numerous, not all of them were psychics. Moreover, it was too difficult to get three or four hundred crystal cores in just one morning without the help of a bulldozer like the Big Mac.
At this time, everyone was happy and excited about their efforts and gains. Li Xiaoyu suddenly pulled Hua Yang aside.
"Mom? What's wrong?"
"Here, it's for you!" Li Xiaoyu said, putting an A4-sized cowhide bag in Hua Yang's hand.
Hua Yang curiously opened it and saw that it was a bag of colorful and translucent crystal cores. Moreover, the energy level of these crystal cores was all level three. Hua Yang counted them and found that there were 23 of them!
Hua Yang stared at Li Xiaoyu with wide eyes and asked, "Mom, where did so many level 3 crystal cores come from?"
"On my way back, I met Li Mao, Xiao Xing's subordinate. He asked me to pass it to you."
