Chapter 94 Reappearance of Civilization
Rather than waiting for the system to issue tasks, Rong Yi preferred to take the initiative and do something.
"Oh, I mentioned that to Deng Quan a few days ago. He thought it was a great idea. It just so happens that things are almost done at the base and Jianggu Mountain, so we can free up some time to go to Jijiang City."
They had been away from Jijiang City for almost two months and had no idea what the situation was like there now.
Rong Yi carefully put away the booklet, intending to make a copy later to bring to Chai Yuanzheng and Deng Quan.
Unbeknownst to them, in a base more than 200 kilometers away from Baiquan City, a group of superhumans were eyeing everything they were building.
Inside a base in Jinning City.
The man looked at the report in his hand, glanced at the contents of a few lines of paper, then showed an expression of unbearable disapproval. After a few more glances, he threw the papers on the table.
"Damn! Are these natives insane? We're the invading players, how can they be the villains even more than us!"
Jiang Huarong was so angry he almost laughed. Not only did they mess with their own base, but they also went outside and beat up and killed the people from his base.
This time he couldn't stand it!
"Get the car ready, I'm going to kill those lunatics!"
Is it easy for a player like him to build a base with his teammates? Those lunatics were very cautious in the early stages, but after their strength increased, they started to show their true colors and were capable of doing all sorts of disgusting things.
Jiang Huarong rushed out of the office. He really didn't like sitting inside and preferred to go outside and kill some zombies or mutated creatures. But he was just unlucky and drew a card that required him to deal with the affairs of the base.
Unfortunately, the base has too few people in this area, and he has to make certain strategic decisions.
He had barely left the office area when he was stopped by someone who said, "Mr. Jiang, calm down."
The man who stopped him was a bespectacled, refined-looking man in his early thirties who had previously worked in the public sector.
Jiang Huarong clutched the few sheets of paper tightly in her hand. "How can I stay calm when I see them doing this mess?"
The people who died were those players had worked so hard to save, and they died at the hands of those superhumans. If this continues, how many contribution points and credits will they lose when the dungeon ends!
Zou Ji didn't understand the pain from the players' perspective; he only felt that they really needed to deal with these things calmly now.
"They shouldn't be bothering us anytime soon. Our scouts just reported that they've set their sights on Baiquan City. There are a limited number of superhumans there, and they're mostly at level four or five, with no level six at all. They want to take that place as their first step in their expansion."
These words made Jiang Huarong stop struggling.
Hakusen City? That sounds so familiar.
Zou Ji pointed out: "The one that's quite close to us is about 200 kilometers away."
This distance is considered short, but after the heavy fog, the road is difficult to travel, or rather, there is no road at all.
“There’s no network connection between the areas right now, so it must be that peeping tom who saw what was happening at the base,” Jiang Huarong asked.
Zou Ji nodded, "It's him."
There is a special person in the superhuman base whose body has an animalistic tendency, can transform into a pair of wings, and can see hundreds of miles away. The reason why the base was able to survive the first conflict with the players was because it knew in advance that the players were coming and made full defensive preparations.
“Their attention isn’t here, so we can look for an opportunity. A direct confrontation will actually draw their attention to this area.”
In Zou Ji's view, this was a good opportunity. Although the people who established the base were strange, they had no interest in managing power and only wanted to go out and clean up zombies all day long. In fact, the one in front of him didn't know anything about management. But none of this stopped him from seriously thinking about the base.
After all, there's a Heavenly Chosen Base in the same city known as a living hell. These high-ranking officials may seem unreliable, but at least they haven't tormented ordinary people; they've tried their best to ensure they're well-fed and watered.
Neither the superhumans nor the players could gain the upper hand, so the Chosen Base turned its attention to other cities, and White Spring City became the best target.
Jiang Huarong heeded his advice, "You two should plan this carefully, and we'll observe from the shadows."
If those lunatics from the Chosen Base dare to make a move, they'll dare to raid our base.
Seeing that Jiang Huarong had calmed down, Zou Ji silently breathed a sigh of relief.
Back in his office, Jiang Huarong racked his brains trying to remember where he had heard the name Baiquan City before.
Until he saw the few lines of text scrolling across the screen:
[Those superhumans are going to Baiquan City; aren't they afraid the crazy woman will steal their crystal cores?]
What do indigenous people know?
The timing is really bad. They just finished building the emergency exit over there. If it had been two weeks earlier, things might have gotten done.
Some viewers watching this instance noticed Rong Yi's presence, a typical troublesome player, and her teammates.
But since a nobleman has taken a liking to her teammate, why is she so arrogant?
Jiang Huarong remembered that some viewers in the live chat had complained that a female player from Baiquan City was extremely arrogant, yet surprisingly strong, and was becoming increasingly accustomed to killing opponents of higher levels.
Players who are mentioned by viewers in comments other than their own are all exceptionally skilled and ruthless individuals.
Jiang Huarong had just moved from low-level dungeons to mid-level dungeons. He heard that from this stage onwards, players would become increasingly ruthless, resorting to any means necessary to achieve their mission objectives, and some would even turn parts of the dungeon world upside down.
However, you need to have the ability to do this; otherwise, it's just courting death.
There's a rising star player in Baiquan City, and the native superhumans are going to cause trouble there. Jiang Huarong thought about it and almost laughed out loud. Whether the superhumans are defeated or the Baiquan City base is lost, they can pick up the scraps.
·
Unaware that the base was being targeted, Rong Yi and Wei Yanqing had been venturing further and further away from the base recently. One day, they encountered a flower that was incredibly ugly to the touch, with petals half a meter in diameter. Despite its large size, it bloomed beautifully.
The plant encyclopedia they received as a reward was only one part of it. Having never seen this flower before, Rong Yi curiously poked at it with a stick, and immediately a stench filled the air. The defensive shield automatically triggered to block the stench, but she could still smell a little bit.
Using this flower, the base developed a spray that most mutated animals hate.
Several days later, Rong Yi would still sniff his hands from time to time, "They still smell bad. This stuff is too strong."
The protective shield only covered her head and neck, leaving her body exposed to the air. Inevitably, she would be tainted by the stench of that foul flower, and no amount of showering could remove it. Wei Yanqing was powerless to do anything about it, as he himself was still smelly.
"It should dissipate in a few more days."
To get rid of the smell, they went outside every day, not wanting to stay in the base, lest they be asked who smelled so bad.
I specifically chose a spot with the most flowers, hoping to cleanse my body with their fragrance.
Wei Yanqing's expression quickly changed as he looked into the deep green forest. "Someone's coming."
Rong Yi immediately stopped waving his arms, drew his gun, and went into alert mode.
Seeing how perceptive they were, the hidden enemy gritted their teeth and activated their supernatural abilities.
The rustling sound was very faint, but Rong Yi still caught it. He turned around and fired a shot, severing the slender vine, which hung limply to the ground.
"Is it definitely a human, or a plant that has become a spirit?"
This looks like a plant attacking her.
"A wood-type ability user," Wei Yanqing said. "This is the first time I've seen this ability."
This dungeon is almost finished; I'm already thinking about the start of the next one.
