Chapter 127 Zombie Siege (20) - Changing Personnel to Stay
Zai Fumeng was unaware of Ning Shu's thoughts; she only felt incredibly lucky.
Seeing how happy she was, Ning Shu gave up on explaining to her. She decided to finish the good deed and not let others feel uncomfortable.
She raised her hand and patted Zai Fumeng on the back, acknowledging her happiness. When she looked up, she saw Si Zhong staring at her from not far away.
Her heart skipped a beat, but she quickly calmed down. She hadn't done anything wrong; surely the other person wouldn't suddenly want to kill her.
She avoided Si Zhong's gaze, lest she encounter him and not know what to do, and pulled Zai Fu Meng along to prepare to go to the restaurant for dinner.
As the number of people increased, Mr. Fang arranged for someone to cook for each villa. Everyone ate the same food, but the dining areas were separate.
Zai Fumeng is a newcomer; she lives in another villa.
Because she was a player, Ning Shu still invited her to come to the Fang family villa for meals so that they could discuss anything together.
Si Zhong received the same treatment; as soon as he entered, he saw Ning Shu and Zai Fu Meng embracing each other.
Si Zhong also saw the system's progress bar notification last night. Looking at the completion percentage, he thought that if he killed 3 players, his mission 1 would be completed immediately.
However, considering that there were still 20 days left in this instance, he felt it was unnecessary to do so.
Since he absolutely has to participate in Mission 3, he doesn't mind spending more time on Mission 1, otherwise just waiting around would be quite boring.
Ning Shu and his five players, along with the Fang family's three members, sat down for a meal and discussed their tasks for the day.
Cheng Chuan: "Today we'll continue looking for people. Uncle Fang, the base now needs to accommodate 500 people, so we'll have to trouble you to speed up the expansion."
Mr. Fang didn't understand why there were more and more people, and the key was that they had to have a specific number, which was somewhat strange.
If their mission is to rescue people, then shouldn't the more the better? Why is there a requirement for the number of people?
If they weren't trying to save people, then what's the point of them constantly saving people?
Cheng Chuan understood his confusion, but he didn't intend to explain too much; he simply told the other person what to do.
Mr. Fang: "The construction progress can't keep up with your rescue efforts. Why don't you go and see which villas are empty and take them all?"
They had been like this before, but recently he discovered that the people in the villas nearby that he hadn't taken over seemed to be eyeing him covetously, but he hadn't taken any action yet because they had weapons.
He was unsure how long this situation could last, and he was also worried that if Ning Shu and the others went out on a mission one day, he might not be able to keep things under control.
Cheng Chuan thought this was a good idea, but it would delay his search for people.
At this moment, Si Zhong stepped forward and said, "You all continue to go out and look for people today. I will handle this problem."
Acquiring a few villas would be a piece of cake for him, so why would he delay finding someone?
There are countless players outside who are planning to do Mission 2. In order to complete the mission, they deliberately imprison normal NPCs and kill them after they turn into zombies.
Some even complete Task 1 first, and then use the same group of people to do Task 2. As a result, there will be fewer and fewer normal NPCs. This matter cannot be delayed.
Si Zhong's words solved the problem directly.
Mr. Fang didn't want to be the only one left behind, worried that he might be a threat to the people here: "Then Mr. Wu, will you continue to stay and protect the base today?"
Before Wu Yi could speak, Ning Shu and Cheng Chuan exchanged a glance, both understanding the meaning in each other's eyes.
Just kidding, there's no use keeping Wu Yi around. His family might even get wiped out. We have to replace him!
Seeing Cheng Chuan's barely perceptible signal, Ning Shu spoke first, "My sister and I will stay here today. Wu Yi and Cheng Chuan, take the driver and go out together."
After speaking, her eyes involuntarily glanced at Si Zhong, only to find him looking at her with a slight upturn of his lips, as if he had seen through their tricks.
Ning Shu calmly turned her gaze to the others, pretending that she wasn't deliberately observing them.
When Mr. Fang heard that some of them had stayed behind, he was relieved, but he also reminded them, "If possible, please look for supplies while you're at it. There are more and more people now, and supplies are running low."
Actually, several teams had gone out to find supplies before, but they couldn't hold out for long. In addition, there are always casualties when ordinary people go out, so fewer people have gone out recently.
Cheng Chuan: "Then I'll take two more teams out with me, and drive out all the vehicles that can be driven. This time, I'll try to bring back as much stuff as possible."
Si Zhong suddenly spoke up again: "Leave some men for me, I'm going out for a bit too."
His words surprised everyone present, as they hadn't expected this at all. Mr. Fang immediately nodded, "I'll arrange that."
Seeing that everyone was working, Zai Fumeng asked Ning Shu, who was standing next to her, "Sister, what am I supposed to do today?"
Ning Shu looked at her and said, "You'll come with me here today to familiarize yourself with the place, and then I'll assign you a job."
Zai Fumeng nodded obediently, looking very motivated.
After they finished arranging their work, they continued eating.
Suddenly, Fang Hong noticed something and said, "Hey, Sister Ning, Brother Chuan, where are your couple bracelets? Did you lose them?"
He realized they had all been wearing them for a while, so why had they suddenly disappeared?
Ning Shu's heart tightened. She couldn't explain that it was a prop, since there were other players present, and she didn't want to reveal her resources to outsiders.
Just as she was about to agree with Fang Hong, she heard Cheng Chuan say, "It did fall. We encountered too many zombies yesterday."
The conversation should have ended there, but Fang Hong surprisingly came to his senses at this moment: "It's really rare for both of them to fall."
This logic makes sense; if it really was dropped accidentally, the probability of this happening at the same time is relatively small.
In fact, Ning Shu put the bracelet away. At the time, she didn't think that such a small matter was worth discussing, let alone in front of an outsider.
Fang Hong, you little brat, if you can't speak properly, then don't speak at all, are you trying to get yourself killed? Ning Shu glared fiercely at Fang Hong.
Fang Hong wondered if he had accidentally uncovered some secret, such as the two of them arguing yesterday, which led to him breaking the bracelet.
In Fang Hong's eyes, the words Ning Shu said when she gave the bracelet to Cheng Chuan were filtered out by the system.
When he automatically rationalized this matter, he assumed that Ning Shu had given Cheng Chuan a token of their love, so he thought the two of them were a couple.
He only asked about it casually today, but he didn't expect to find out about it.
But as soon as he said that, the atmosphere instantly became a little awkward, and everyone present looked as if they had just heard some juicy gossip.
Even Si Zhong's gaze kept shifting between Ning Shu and Cheng Chuan.
Ning Shu had a heart attack after eating breakfast. She made a mental note of Fang Hong.
