Chapter 117 Zombie Siege (10) - Mission 1 has a problem
After Cheng Chuan finished speaking, he walked to Ning Shu's side. Ning Shu also got out of the car and watched them busy at this time.
Wu Yi said that the room is full of hardware, and they still need to find some building materials.
Ning Shu thought for a moment: "The villa can barely accommodate this group of people, but there are still more than 50 people. How should we arrange for them?"
What she meant was whether they should ask someone else to "contribute" a villa.
Cheng Chuan knew exactly what Ning Shu was thinking, but he felt that this matter could be put on hold for now.
"The villa's backyard is quite large, and the wall is quite thick. We're considering using building materials to enclose the backyard so that we can accommodate more than 100 people."
Their goal is simple: just complete task 1; there's no need to expend too much effort.
Ning Shu pondered for a moment after listening: "They are all students, the Fang family are all businessmen, and we are not good at building houses. Should we find two construction workers to help us?"
Cheng Chuan thought this was a good idea, but where could they find it? Should they ask around all the way?
The person being questioned certainly won't let them leave easily; what will happen then?
Ning Shu: "Let's go see if there are any construction sites nearby. Maybe there are a few workers like this hiding there."
Good idea! Cheng Chuan agreed.
After they finished getting ready, they headed towards the villa.
When they returned to the villa entrance, Mr. Fang looked nervous. After Fang Hong and the driver were called away by Cheng Chuan, the responsibility of guarding the villa fell on him and his wife.
At this moment, the two men, each with a pistol, were guarding the front door on the first floor. The back door led to the backyard, behind which was a lake, making it relatively safe for the time being.
Ning Shu and his group parked their car at the front gate. Fang's father spotted them immediately and only opened the door to greet them after Fang Hong got out of the car.
He was puzzled as to why there was suddenly an extra bus, but he was relieved after hearing Cheng Chuan's explanation.
Cheng Chuan had all the students get off the bus and then go to the truck to unload the supplies. Under his command, everything proceeded in an orderly manner.
Ning Shu didn't offer any help; instead, she observed the activity in the nearby villas.
She noticed that someone seemed to be observing her through the curtains at the window, and her heart sank.
She thought it would be great if all these villas belonged to them, then they wouldn't have to worry about being betrayed by others.
Ning Shu felt there was still plenty of time, so she let Fang's father take over the management of the students while she and Cheng Chuan went out to find construction workers.
She also made Wu Yi and the Fang family pay special attention to the villa that she felt was inappropriate.
The mobile network was no longer usable at this point; it really was fast, but Ning Shu had downloaded it to her local device beforehand.
She typed in the word "construction site," and surprisingly, several results popped up.
She chose the construction site closest to them and told Cheng Chuan to follow the navigation.
They couldn't find anyone at the first construction site, so they did the same as before, searching the second and third sites. Finally, they found someone at the fourth site.
Four people were found in total. After checking that they had no injuries, they were allowed to squeeze together in the back seat.
Along the way, they completed many tasks, and the workers must have had many doubts about them, which they dealt with using their previous excuses.
When they passed a clothing store, Ning Shu asked Cheng Chuan to stop the car. She went in and picked out several sets of men's and women's clothes, all of which were simple styles.
She couldn't stand the smell of sweat on the workers, so she planned to have them take a good shower before they started working once they got back to the villa.
They didn't get back to the villa until very late.
As expected of a business manager, Mr. Fang quickly arranged everything for the students he brought in, and the hardware supplies he brought back were also neatly organized.
After Ning Shu and Cheng Chuan finished their meal, they immediately held a meeting with Fang's father's family to arrange what needed to be done next.
After the meeting, Ning Shu and the others went back to their rooms to rest.
Because of their special status, Ning Shu had a small room by himself, Cheng Chuan and Wu Yi had a large room together, and the others tried to squeeze into one room or sleep in the living room.
Ning Shu deliberately waited until after 12 o'clock to check the task progress bar.
Current task progress:
Task 1: Progress 0%
Task 2: Progress 0%
Task 3: Progress 0%
Why are there still only 3 duck eggs? This doesn't make sense! Didn't they bring back a person? Or a ghost?
Ning Shu was starting to have doubts about life.
After the progress bar disappeared, she thought for a while and then fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning, based on the meeting minutes from the previous night, Mr. Fang assigned tasks to everyone in the villa.
Ten girls were brought back and placed under the care of Fang's mother, who was responsible for their three meals a day.
The male students were required to assist the four workers with two tasks.
One method is to use metal parts such as steel pipes to make simple weapons, so that each person can have one for defense.
One is to build two toilets in the yard. There are too many people, and they can't all relieve themselves in the villa. The main reason is that we don't want to waste the precious water resources we have stored up.
The villa area boasts a prime location on a peninsula, surrounded by water on three sides.
The Fang family's backyard is right next to the lake, and they plan to use a diesel engine to pump water from the lake to flush the toilets.
The diesel engines were brought back from the hardware store; they brought back several of them, so they don't have a power shortage for the time being.
Of course, the lake water is also the water source they intend to drink, but a treatment facility is needed.
Until the new facilities are built, they will continue to use the existing water storage.
Ning Shu and his two companions, along with the driver and several burly students, were going out to find a building materials store so they could bring back some boards.
Over the next three days, they finished making makeshift weapons, set up a toilet, enclosed the backyard, and erected several makeshift beds.
Father Fang allocated accommodations based on each student's contribution; some students stayed in the villa, while others moved to the backyard.
The workers made significant contributions, so they were allocated a room in a villa. Four people shared a room, which was already a very comfortable environment.
On their journey, Ning Shu and his group also accepted some non-student NPCs.
Some of them were quite strong, while others were rather weak. Finally, they managed to gather 100 people, all of whom were NPCs.
On the sixth day, the three of them were excitedly waiting for the system notification that Task 1 was completed after midnight, once they had enough people together.
However, what awaited them was this system notification.
Current task progress:
[Task 1: Progress 33%]
Task 2: Progress 0%
Task 3: Progress 0%
The progress bar has changed this time; it's finally not 3 zeros anymore. But... why is the progress of Task 1 only 33%?
Shouldn't it be 100%? What exactly went wrong?
Ning Shu felt like she was being driven crazy; she hadn't even completed Task 1 after all this time.
The progress on Task 2 is already so far behind; we'd be doomed if we didn't complete a single task by then.
