Chapter 52 Reappearance of Civilization
When Rong Yi woke up in the morning, he was not as listless as he was the night before; he was full of energy and eager to get started.
Wei Yanqing was tying a small bag around his waist when Rong Yi said, "Wei Yanqing, I won't accept fewer crystal cores just because the absorption of crystal cores isn't going well. Prepare more bags."
Wei Yanqing chuckled, his voice deep and husky, "Don't worry, every day in the instance, just slaughter any zombies you see."
The two exchanged a knowing glance before looking away.
The makeshift wall was removed, the roller shutter door was raised, and several zombies were already standing at the door. Hearing the noise beside them, they rushed in with their mouths open.
With just a few simple shots, Rong Yi got his hands on something as soon as he opened the door.
She was still dressed in all black, and the form-fitting functional suit gave her the look of a hardcore agent. A military belt cinched her slender waist, with two explosive beads inside, which she hadn't used yet.
Wei Yanqing was also dressed in black, but with a hint of blue. It wasn't as form-fitting, but you could still tell he had a strong and well-built physique.
The two continued walking along the main road. There were more zombies wandering around than yesterday, and they had to raise their guns again every half minute after putting them down.
Surprisingly, some of the zombies that fell along the way had their brain cores left untouched, which benefited the two of them.
Less than two hours after setting off, we finally encountered living people.
It was a small team of more than ten people, most of whom were carrying kitchen knives and watermelon knives, while some were holding baseball bats studded with nails.
The group was quite excited when they suddenly encountered two extraordinary strangers carrying pistols.
"Are you two also going to Jin'an District?" the man in the lead, holding a long, thin watermelon knife, asked them.
How do they know about Jin'an District? Did they run into those people from the small supermarket yesterday?
"More or less." Rong Yi neither confirmed nor denied, giving a vague answer.
Wei Yanqing glanced at her, then turned and said, "The main thing is to collect more supplies. We don't know when things will recover from this situation."
When it came to supplies, the team looked at the two men's backpacks. "They're so small, how much stuff can they possibly hold?"
"My name is Xu Dun, and we happen to be looking to collect supplies..."
The team's departure was probably somewhat rushed; only three people carried backpacks, while the others basically wrapped their belongings in cloth before carrying them on their backs.
"No, we have urgent business to attend to." Rong Yi was too lazy for pleasantries and grabbed Wei Yanqing's sleeve to walk quickly forward.
Wei Yanqing slowly turned around and nodded to them, completely following Rong Yi's steps.
"What's the big deal? Having a gun doesn't make them any better. Look at their arrogant attitude."
"You have a gun, so you can be arrogant."
"They can't be special forces soldiers hired by rich people, can they?"
I didn't hear what they said after that. The two of them walked fast, and the person behind them wanted to keep up, but carrying things and being tired and hungry, they naturally couldn't keep up.
Even without Wei Yanqing as a teammate, Rong Yi didn't like following the team, let alone now that his teammates could easily collect crystal cores, which couldn't be hidden from anyone who wasn't blind.
"I forgot to tell them about the crystal core."
Wei Yanqing patted her on the shoulder, "It's alright, it's not our obligation."

Later, they met another group of people who were on the other side of the road. Even more coincidentally, those two were also players.
"Finally, I can see other players." Rong Yi recalled the three dungeons he had gone through. Apart from the second one where he encountered a large number of players, the other two dungeons had a limited number of players he could see.
There are no special markers between players; they can be identified at a glance.
“You’ll see even more once we get to the base.” Wei Yanqing peeled a grape and popped it into his mouth without changing his expression, then peeled half of it and handed it to Rong Yi. “Want some?”
"eat."
After finishing her meal, she suddenly realized something. Wei Yanqing's storage space was so large that he must have accumulated points through multiple instances. In theory, his strength was higher than hers. She was only able to win because she was immune to his mental control.
High-level players are bound to be in challenging dungeons.
What is the approximate level of this dungeon?
Faced with Rong Yi's abrupt question, Wei Yanqing pondered for a moment, "Probably a mid-level dungeon."
Is the fourth dungeon already considered mid-tier?
Even if she doesn't understand the dungeon mechanics, it's unlikely that she'd be playing a mid-tier dungeon on her fourth attempt, especially since her talent tree is marked as "none".
I couldn't help but recall the comments I saw before the last dungeon ended. Could it be that she was being targeted by the so-called viewers?
Seeing that she looked unwell, Wei Yanqing asked, "What's wrong?"
Rong Yi shook his head. "It's nothing, they just suspect that I'm being targeted by something outside."
He understood what Rong Yi meant by "outer field": "Your strength is outstanding, so this is inevitable."
"Have you ever seen a bullet screen comment? I saw one before I finished the last dungeon, and I thought I was seeing things."
"Of course I've seen it. I have a lot of comments right now," Wei Yanqing said calmly, then saw Rong Yi's eyes slowly widen.
"Won't that... block your view?" she said, gesturing as if something was passing by in front of her eyes.
Wei Yanqing's blue eyes remained calm. "Just block it. I never watch the live comments."
Rong Yi strongly agreed with his approach, "So it can be blocked after all, then I'm not worried anymore." She didn't care about what happened outside the venue, but she was annoyed that the comments on the screen would affect her mood.
She never thought that things from outside the game could enter the instance or freely go to Obsidian City.
After chatting for a while, Rong Yi noticed that the players on the other side of the road were moving at the same speed as them. He glanced at them for only two seconds before they also met his gaze.
Rong Yi tilted his head. "I have a weird feeling about this."
Meanwhile, the two people on the other side of the road looked at the barrage of comments and hesitated.
They weren't worried about the female player; the real concern was the masked man. When his icy blue eyes looked over, it was as if he could see right through their thoughts.
That woman's strength is only at the mid-level of the first tier, while her teammate Wei Yanqing is always arrogant and never reads our comments.
We just met in this instance; tell Wei Yanqing to mind his own business and say it was our idea.
[From Wei Yanqing's perspective, that woman has some potential; she naturally awakened her talent. It's a pity we only see that she's very good at fighting and prone to losing control. She's a good prospect.]
[Forcing her to take action, causing her to completely lose control]
As he watched the barrage of comments, Wang Zhou broke out in a cold sweat. He often saw the name Wei Yanqing in the comments and heard it frequently from viewers chatting.
The comments section was filled with requests for Xiang Liang to scare Wei Yanqing away and join forces with Wang Zhou to deal with that woman, all to make her lose control.
What bad luck! Why did I have to run into those two?
But they can't go against the audience's demands, otherwise the level of the next dungeon will be really tough.
Thinking of this, the two were filled with murderous intent; they knew they had to overcome this hurdle.
But when they looked at the other side again, they saw that Rong Yi had stopped at some point and was standing quietly looking at them, his eyes fixed on them. Even from several meters away, his fighting spirit was palpable, which made their hearts tremble.
Wei Yanqing, on the other hand, leaned against the street lamp with his arms crossed, looking like he was watching a show.
Wang Zhou and Xiang Liang both possess enhanced physical abilities and are at the mid-level of the second tier. Dealing with mid-level first tier opponents would be too easy for them. The key opponent is Wei Yanqing.
“Wei Yanqing, someone outside the venue has told you not to meddle in other people’s business. Our target is her.” Wang Zhou pointed at Rong Yi.
