Chapter 217 National Hunting Plan
City S is nearly two hundred kilometers away from City D.
And the population is not large, so it will be easier to clean up the zombies.
It can be said that it will be a good location for base construction in the future.
General Wan was so excited that his eyes turned red as he watched more and more ordinary soldiers awaken their superpowers for the second time.
“There is hope!”
He grabbed Yan Fei's shoulders and said with a sob, "Before, one-third of our soldiers had not awakened. Now this one-third has made up for seven or eight-tenths! I believe that in the near future, we will definitely be able to take over the East District!"
"It's not enough."
Yan Fei frowned. "The number of mutant zombies near the Kaizhong Group in the East District is far greater than expected. My suggestion is to settle the relocated survivors, concentrate all our forces, and then summon all the superpowered people we can to join us in the attack."
General Wan fell silent for a moment. His excitement was like being poured with a bucket of cold water.
He sat down slowly and said, "I'm afraid this won't be that easy. The battle in the East District is a protracted one, and most of the people with special abilities have families. They might not be willing to take risks with us."
"Originally, it was Ye Xi. Xiao Ye suggested that we could lure out a large number of mutant zombies to hunt for their crystal cores. Zhou Hui led the team out and did collect quite a few first and second level mutant zombie crystal cores, but it wasn't enough to sustain a protracted war with the East District."
General Wan's face grew serious, and he tapped the table with his fingertips. He said, "Besides, we still know too little about the zombie situation at Kaizhong Group in the East District. Old Yan, if you were to rely on yourself and use your spatial ability to jump over there, the information you could find would be limited. Didn't you also say that the zombie was very likely aware of your presence?"
"Um."
Yan Fei moved the black wristband around his wrist, his eyes stern as he said, "When I went out today, I also encountered a level five mutant zombie. I just happened to retrieve a crystal core..."
After saying that, he took out a pale purple crystal core from his waist bag.
General Wan was extremely surprised when he saw this. "A level five mutant zombie's crystal core? Then why don't you upgrade quickly? That way, your spatial ability will be even more advanced."
"There's no need to rush the upgrade, and it's okay to wait. The main thing is that we need to deal with these military matters first. Since we've decided to clear out the East District, we must do it quickly! The firearms here are consumables and difficult to replenish. It would be best to summon all the higher-level psychics... Lao Wan, you should have quite a few in the West District, right?"
Yan Fei lit a cigarette and looked at him and asked.
General Wan nodded, "But most of them are second or third level psychics, there are basically no fourth level ones."
"That's enough."
Yan Fei narrowed his eyes, flicked the ash off his cigarette, and said to him, "Publicly announce the matter of the crystal core. Tell all the people with special abilities that they can come to the East District to hunt mutant zombies. All the gains from hunting or the materials collected will belong to them."
General Wan immediately understood what he meant. "You want our army to stay behind the scenes and just send out small teams to collect crystal cores like they did? Like they did before, when they opened up the East District to other psychics?"
"yes."
Yan Fei said, "We have temporarily controlled the defense line in the East District. At least in the short term, the barriers will not be breached. Moreover, all the other survivors have been moved out. The West District can now be opened up and used exclusively for the psychics who come to the East District to hunt mutant zombies."
"Hmm...but the biggest problem is how to spread the news of the crystal core."
They don't have any communication equipment now.
If they really want to convey a message, they use the simplest and most brutal method, which is to make people run.
But this efficiency is really too slow.
"Radio equipment?"
Yan Fei glanced at him and asked, "Didn't you use this for external communication before?"
"well……"
General Wan sighed, "That happened more than half a month ago. Our army's only radio communication equipment was accidentally damaged by a lightning-type mutant while killing a mutant zombie that broke into the communication room. It can't be repaired."
“…”
Yan Fei rubbed his temples and said, "Then send people to the surrounding cities to rescue other survivors and spread the news."
"Um."
General Wan sighed, "This is the only way."
Otherwise, if they use their army to recruit people, they will actually be responsible for these people with special abilities.
They don't have many people.
And there is no way to give the mutant anything other than the crystal core.
Even their own army’s hunting for crystal cores was not enough.
The best way is to let the psychics voluntarily go to the East District to hunt for mutant zombie crystal cores.
"General Wan, I'm back."
The tent was opened and Second Lieutenant Fang walked in with a serious expression.
General Wan looked at him and asked, "How are the survivors being settled?"
Second Lieutenant Fang immediately gave a brief and quick account of the situation on the island in City D.
General Wan fell silent after hearing this. "Only one month..."
Yan Fei sneered, "It seems like this is intruding into someone else's territory."
General Wan suddenly felt a headache. "The apocalypse is too chaotic, and resources are scarce right now. Hundreds of thousands of survivors are crammed onto a small island. No wonder the original survivors are dissatisfied. We can't just go and seize other people's territory..."
Finally, he asked Lieutenant Fang, "Have you negotiated?"
Second Lieutenant Fang nodded, "The other party refuses to give in."
"Who exactly is it?"
"It seems he's the son of the former head of D City, Lei Ming. He's a level three gold-controlling psychic. He's not very powerful per se, but what's amazing is that two-thirds of the fifty thousand survivors on his sheltered island are psychics, and they're all very united and xenophobic."
To put it bluntly.
The other party allowed them to go to the island, which meant they had already submitted to the majesty of the army.
Otherwise they would have been driven away long ago.
"fifty thousand……"
General Wan was silent, thinking about countermeasures.
Yan Fei glanced at him and said, "Isn't City D pretty good? If the small island doesn't work, then we can clear out the hundreds of thousands of ordinary zombies in City D and make it a temporary shelter."
"Well, whether it's the East District or the new shelter, things need to be done immediately. Fortunately, we now have the method of secondary awakening of superpowers provided by Xiaoye, which gives us a lot more manpower..."
Thinking of Ye Xi, General Wan felt very fortunate to have this little girl.
“That’s right!”
Second Lieutenant Fang spoke again, looking at the two men, "Admiral, Captain Yan, there is something else I think is particularly important and I need to tell you."
"What?"
General Wan said, "Don't keep us in suspense at this point. Just tell us what it is, no matter what it is!"
"yes!"
Second Lieutenant Fang said hurriedly, "Among the two people Captain Yan had escorted to the island in City D, there was a girl named Lin Sisi. She said that the fruits and vegetables produced by her wood-type ability can help psychics recover some of their depleted abilities, very similar to crystal cores."
“!!!”
General Wan was shocked. "There's such a supernatural power? Wood-related?"
"Yes. I brought back a few of her induced fertility apples, and I'd like you to judge... On the way, I was clearing out zombies and consuming some of my superpowers, so I ate two of these apples, and they did have some effect."
As Lieutenant Fang said this, he placed a few apples on the table.
General Wan picked up the apple and looked at Yan Fei with some doubt, "Your team escorted them here, did you know about this?"
"have no idea."
Yan Fei glanced at the fruits on the table and said with a complicated expression: "She can indeed promote the growth of fruits and vegetables, but I personally don't have much affection for this girl named Lin Sisi."
"Old Yan, this is where you're wrong. You can't be prejudiced against a little girl!"
After General Wan finished speaking, he used up his special ability, got a large block of ice and placed it next to him, then picked up an apple on the table and started eating it.
The apples are very sweet.
The juice immediately filled the mouth and went down the throat.
At that moment, the consumed supernatural power was indeed replenished.
The effect is quite obvious.
After eating the entire apple, it seemed as if the superpowers were fully replenished!
"This little girl Lin Sisi is also amazing!"
General Wan couldn't help but sigh. The other lieutenant asked, "Did this little girl say anything else to you?"
Second Lieutenant Fang glanced at Yan Fei, hesitated for a moment, and continued, "Yes. She was able to be promoted to level three thanks to Captain Yan's team, so now she hopes to contribute to the army and is willing to help them grow vegetables and fruits."
"Um?"
Hearing this, Yan Fei was very surprised.
Because the Lin Sisi he knew before was just a little girl who would only hide behind Wen Siyu. Occasionally, what she said sounded strange, but compared to Wen Siyu, she was much more reasonable.
I can say that I will contribute to the army, but I don’t know if I can really do it in the end.
“This is a great thing!”
General Wan was ecstatic. The other lieutenant said, "But don't let it get out. So, you arrange for someone to follow her and see if you can build a fruit and vegetable garden on the island and give it to her to manage..."
As he spoke, he felt something was wrong, waved his hand, and changed his words: "Forget it, let's just bring her over and arrange for her to live in the West District, and then have someone specially develop a plantation for her!"
"Old Yan, what do you think?"
“…”
How else can he see it?
Just sit and watch!
He still doubted whether Lin Sisi could produce vegetables and fruits for the army that were comparable to the effects of crystal cores.
After all, she herself needs crystal cores to replenish her energy.
How can we give birth to fruits and vegetables that have the same function as the crystal core?
I always feel very contradictory!
But seeing how excited Lao Wan is, it doesn't hurt to give it a try.
Yan Fei raised his eyebrows and looked at his friend and said, "It's up to you. If it really works, it will be a pleasant surprise for our operation to clear the East District."
“Yes, yes, yes!”
General Wan hurriedly said to Lieutenant Fang in front of him, "Let's make the arrangements as we just said."
Lieutenant Fang nodded, "Understood!"
-
The other side.
The sky gradually brightened.
Ye Xi got up early, called all his companions together, and prepared to set off for S City.
Shen Yingcheng's team also got up early.
The two teams set out together.
When we arrived at the west district of S City, we found that there were many vehicles with special abilities entering the area.
Long Liang went to get some information, and when he came back he told Ye Xi and the others, "Since last night, the military has been announcing the crystal core issue. They said that the ordinary zombie tide in the East District has been brought under control, and all psychics can enter and hunt on their own. They only need to hand over a first-level mutant zombie crystal core to the military as entry fee..."
"And they also filmed a promotional video about hunting mutant zombies. Look... it's still playing on that big screen."
Look in the direction he pointed.
Ye Xi saw that there was indeed a video playing on the big screen, which happened to be a video of Yan Fei's team hunting level one, two, and three mutant zombies.
It's a bit like a hunting guide.
Many people with special abilities stopped their cars and watched the video for a long time.
Ye Xi could still vaguely hear a voice coming from the big screen: [A Level 1 mutant zombie requires three Level 1 psychics to successfully kill it. The same applies to Level 2 and 3 mutant zombies. Therefore, all psychics are advised to hunt together as a team, which will greatly increase the efficiency of hunting mutant zombies. In addition, it is recommended that psychics who encounter Level 4 or Level 5 mutant zombies do not overthink it and just run away!]
The last reminder can be said to be a direct reminder using large subtitles and loud voice.
After a while, I heard many people with special abilities discussing——
"We need to cooperate! It seems that it's not that easy to hunt!"
"Is cooperation the key? Our combined teams can easily kill level one and two mutant zombies. Level four and five are the real issue, right? The military has warned us to run away if we encounter them. This shows the East District is quite dangerous!"
"Are you kidding? They're all mutant zombies, how could the danger level be any lower?"
"No matter what, we still have to go to the East District. I've heard about the crystal core from the military for a long time. I went to D City these past two days, but I found that there weren't many mutant zombies at all... It seems that the mutant zombies have all gathered in the East District of S City!"
"That's right! This crystal core is a valuable asset that can help us upgrade and replenish our abilities. How can we let it go?"
Who wouldn’t be afraid if there is danger?
But obviously everyone understands that weakness is the biggest danger!
With such a good opportunity to become stronger, few people with special abilities would choose to be cowards.
It’s better to give it a try and get the crystal core to upgrade quickly.
When they become strong, there will be no need to be afraid of these mutated zombies like before!
Therefore, many people with special abilities were stimulated and became excited, and they all shouted that they couldn't wait to go to the East District to hunt mutant zombies.
After seeing this, Long Liang exclaimed, "Wow!" He said to Ye Xi and the others, "I just saw a lot of familiar faces. When we went to the East District before, they were fighting tooth and nail to grab supplies, but now they're shaking hands and forming teams just to get the crystal cores!"
Ye Xi was not surprised.
The gap in strength between psychics of the same level and mutated zombies is obvious.
The psychic wants to upgrade.
Uniting to hunt down mutant zombies is the inevitable result!
Just like if she wants to reach level six, she must first let her friends reach level five like herself, and then work together to hunt level six mutant zombies.
"Xiao Xi, look, isn't that Zhao Ke and the others? They've been looking at us..."
