Ning Yu wanted to refuse because the mission sounded potentially dangerous.
She hadn't fully healed the Scarlet Blade yet, so she planned to wait until she had fully healed the blade before undertaking such a dangerous mission.
[The charm value required for the mission: 10, the host's charm value is 11, passed. ]
[Ding! Mission has been triggered: Close and Far (1/?) Work with Ji Mengyao to find Wan Heng]
[Rewards for completing a series of tasks: random attribute points*5, points*20,000, ???]
However, the system did not think so, and a task was thrown at Ning Yu's face.
Her jaw almost dropped to the ground when she heard this reminder. The reward was so generous, 5 attribute points and 20,000 points.
There is also a question mark reward. Although it is not displayed, it sounds like a good thing.
Since the reward is so good, I, Ning Yu, will of course take on this task without hesitation.
"Of course we'll go together."
Ning Yu agreed immediately without any hesitation.
"This is not a mission set by the base, so the reward might be average, and there are four of us to share. Are you sure?"
Ji Mengyao reminded Ning Yu very kindly.
For her, it was obviously not for the reward from the base, but to save her companions.
But she was afraid that for Ning Yu, the rewards for saving people in the past were very ordinary, which would discourage Ning Yu's enthusiasm.
"Since we are going to save people, none of this matters."
Ning Yu answered righteously.
It just so happened that Wu Di seemed to have finished reporting and was running over here.
"He's back, let's go."
Ning Yu also saw Wu Di coming back and said to Ji Mengyao.
Ji Mengyao looked at Ning Yu in a daze. She didn't expect that Ning Yu would be so willing to help. Her eyes were flickering.
But she did not hesitate and immediately said:
"Okay, thank you very much."
Although there was no system prompt, Ning Yu could clearly feel that Ji Mengyao seemed to have a better impression of her.
This wave, this wave is a win-win situation.
Shen Yiyue looked at Ning Yu suspiciously: When did Xiaoyu become so helpful?
After a while.
An off-road vehicle drove out of the Ark Base, with the four of them in the car.
There was no need to transport people or goods today, and there were four people who needed to take the car, so the pickup truck that Ji Mengyao and Wu Di usually drove was not driven.
These two off-road vehicles have also been reinforced and armed, and can cross obstacles in the city and effectively resist approaching zombies.
Ji Mengyao didn't seem to be in the mood to sing. She just drove sullenly, probably because her companions might be in trouble.
Wu Di sat in the passenger seat, holding a map and looking at it:
"It was estimated that it took about an hour to get there and two hours to get there and back. In theory, he should have been back last night."
"I hope nothing happened."
Ji Mengyao sighed silently.
"This Wan Heng, what is his awakened ability?"
Ning Yu asked while sitting in the back.
She remembered that Ji Mengyao and Wu Di seemed to be quite confident in Wan Heng's abilities just now.
"He can interfere with the zombies' cognition. You can understand it as, he can make the zombies think he is one of their kind."
Ji Mengyao leaned back in the driver's seat and spoke slowly.
Doesn't this mean that one can move freely among the zombies?
"Does this ability also work on mutant zombies?"
Ning Yu immediately thought of a possibility.
"We don't know, but nothing ever happened to him when he went out on a mission."
Wu Di added, and then continued:
"In addition to interference, he can even control the actions of a small number of zombies."
"He also has considerable fighting experience. I have sparred with him before."
This sounds like it is really difficult to die. Maybe he encountered some difficulties or was entangled by something.
The SUV passed an overpass, and Ji Mengyao suddenly turned the steering wheel and turned under the bridge.
There are few people living around here, and there are not many zombies under the bridge.
"What's wrong, Mengyao?"
Wu Di looked at Ji Mengyao who suddenly changed direction and asked.
Ning Yu also opened her eyes, which had been closed for rest, and looked towards the driver's seat together with Shen Yiyue.
As soon as Ji Mengyao stopped the car, she began to tremble slightly. She covered her forehead in pain and lay down in the driver's seat:
"Damn it, that hallucination is coming again."
She covered her forehead with her hands and struggled to open the storage compartment in the front seat of the car with one hand.
But there was nothing in there.
"It's broken. I changed cars today and didn't bring any cigarettes."
She pounded on the steering wheel and had to close the front seats again.
"What's going on?"
Shen Yiyue asked with some confusion.
"Mengyao's ability has side effects. She will often be disturbed by hallucinations. If she is resurrected too many times in a short period of time, she will also be invaded by these hallucinations."
"The smoke can help her relieve the hallucinations."
Wu Di explained that he saw Ji Mengyao's pain seemed to be worsening, and she was putting her head on the steering wheel, looking very uncomfortable.
He gently stroked Ji Mengyao's back, trying to make her feel better.
His expressionless face showed no concern, but the two people in the back row could see his concern.
"Hey, are you just going to take advantage of me?"
Ji Mengyao frowned, turned her head which was leaning on the steering wheel, and glared at Wu Di unhappily.
Wu Di's hands froze instantly, and he said timidly, "I'm sorry."
However, Ning Yu and Shen Yiyue both saw the obvious shyness on her face.
She turned her head back to the steering wheel and snorted, "Keep going."
Wu Di was stunned and didn't understand what Ji Mengyao meant, but he had to continue to gently stroke her back with his warm palms.
Ning Yu complained speechlessly about this tsundere.
She suddenly had an idea, as if she had thought of something, and opened the system's mall to start looking for it.
[Ladies' cigarettes (1 box of watermelon mint flavor): points*800]
[Ladies' cigarettes (1 box of double burst sparkling wine flavor): points*1000]
Wow, there are so many flavors. This system is quite detailed in strange ways.
Ning Yu now has more than 10,000 points, so this is not a big deal, and she also has a little idea in mind.
He reached out and exchanged two packs.
"Here, I have some."
She fumbled in her backpack for a moment, pretending to take out two packs of ladies' cigarettes from the bag, and held them out to the front.
Ji Mengyao heard Ning Yu's voice from behind, and it seemed that something was being handed to her, so she turned around with great effort.
Then he showed a look of surprise. He didn't expect that Ning Yu would have cigarettes.
She almost thought about going back to the base to get some cigarettes. Her current state of being corroded by hallucinations was quite dangerous.
Just after taking it, she examined the two packs of cigarettes: "Hmm, double burst bubble wine flavor, you are quite good at it."
She couldn't wait to take it out and light one, took a deep puff, opened the car window, and exhaled the smoke filled with a wonderful and refreshing fragrance.
The expression on his face was much more relaxed, obviously relieved.
"Is this what you said, smoking is harmful to health? And then you put such a good cigarette on you?"
