Life at the base continued as usual.
Although the base's previous actions were truly chilling.
However, the points system is still in effect even now, despite the zombie siege.
Since the last emergency mission, many people are still confused about what happened. The base first issued a statement to reassure everyone: the world is searching for the mastermind behind the mission, and the key to ending the apocalypse may very well lie with that mastermind!
Could it really end the apocalypse?
Couldn't this be more exciting?
Moreover, given the global manhunt, we absolutely must dig deep and find the mastermind behind it!
Thanks to this announcement, the atmosphere gradually returned to normal.
Perpetual darkness is despair; even the slightest glimmer of hope is a ray of light in the face of utter despair.
Shen Jing also gleaned a piece of information: global official communication has likely been restored. However, ordinary people are unaware of this, and this benefit is likely only available to a select few.
She really wanted to restore her network data, otherwise she would have to continue playing the single-player game.
At that moment, Shen Jing was tapping away on her phone, playing Tetris, while Zhou Tong and Zhou Hui watched intently. The light of the eternal night was hidden within the small electronic screen; one can imagine how captivating it was.
The generator in the self-built house is still running.
However, the base can no longer exchange gasoline or diesel.
In other words, their home also soon lost power and was plunged back into endless darkness.
After Yang Muyi returned from the service center, she announced the news: "There are significantly fewer zombies outside. The base should soon resume its previous operations, and I will soon be able to go out and earn points again."
She brought back sprouted sweet potatoes this time.
The points used were for Shen Jing and Gu Yan's rent, and this time they clearly felt the soaring prices.
However, Yang Muyi did not tell Shen Jing any of this directly.
"Are there many people going to the service center to exchange supplies?" Shen Jing asked, watching Yang Muyi light a candle. "You actually managed to buy this?"
"Zhang Ze bought this candle through connections; you have no idea how sought-after it is!"
Yang Muyi felt a chill run down her spine when she thought about the surging crowd that had just grabbed the supplies.
It was practically like a zombie that was frantically approaching!
"Did you get in through Zhang Run's back door?"
"yes."
However, Yang Muyi still said something nice about Zhang Ze: "His brother hadn't come back before either. I heard that Aunt Zhang was scolding him for being disobedient at home. When the mission was issued before, he didn't care about his own mother's life or death at all."
Shen Jing handed the game to the two siblings before asking, "Zhang Run hasn't come back?"
"Not at all!"
It seems things are getting quite complicated.
There's no one in the base who can take charge... Could it be that something happened to He Qing?
At this moment, Gu Yan walked in from outside, carrying a bag of bean sprouts.
Because it was difficult to see clearly in the flickering candlelight, Chen Jing didn't notice him. It wasn't until he whispered in her ear, "What are you thinking about?"
Shen Jing suddenly came to her senses, "...No."
She realized that the base had returned to its normal temperature, so there was no need to maintain the ice seed. What exactly did He Qing do with the ice seed? And besides the ice seed, were there any other "game items" that dropped?
After all, He Qing's ice crystal was given to him by her in the game...
Everything corresponds to what happened in the dream!
The other three did not notice anything unusual about Shen Jing.
They all looked at the bean sprouts in the bag with surprise, "Wow! Goodness, they actually turned beans into bean sprouts!"
The family of three wasn't exactly lacking in common sense, but when they saw that Gu Yan had actually managed to sprout beans in the dark, they forgot all about their previous rejection of him and their belief that he would steal Shen Jing's place.
Seeing how excited they were.
Gu Yan took a step back in a strange manner. "It's not complicated."
Yang Muyi, no longer as confrontational as before, said with a smile, "Why do you say that? You're very impressive."
She had just returned from the service center and was fully aware of the predicament outside.
Even if you have thousands or tens of thousands of points outside, it's difficult to redeem enough food and vegetables to eat. Most of them are reprocessed grain cakes that are hard as hell, and eating them a few times will definitely cause constipation for days.
And those who don't have any points are in an even worse situation.
They groped around in the dark, even picking at tree bark!
Gu Yan simply raised the corner of his lips slightly, "Let's have this for lunch."
"...Shall we eat together?" This time it was Yang Muyi and the others' turn to take a step back.
To be honest, I really didn't expect that.
Such good fortune will fall upon them.
After all, Yang Muyi felt that she had probably used up all her luck by choosing to rent a room here.
Gu Yan looked at the composed Shen Jing with some doubt, "Didn't you tell them?"
"Not yet."
Hearing this, Yang Muyi was even more puzzled. "What? Are you playing a riddle?"
She was suddenly filled with many bad premonitions.
Are you not going to stop renting a place?
And they were already holding us back...
But Yang Muyi immediately realized that if she had simply abandoned them, Shen Jing could have completely owned the house, but she didn't!
To think of her with such thoughts now is truly inhuman!
"I just received another mission. It requires me to kill five level-two zombies in City C. The departure time and location are very clear."
Shen Jing paused here, "This mission should only be carried out by a few people. Hui Zai and Tong Tong didn't receive it just now."
Yang Muyi's face suddenly turned deathly pale.
What kind of level 2 zombie?
She had no idea that zombies were classified into different levels.
Moreover, she and Zhang Ze did not hear any mission announcements.
