Chapter 74 Taking on the Mission
After staying in the base for a week, Shuxin and his friends have been unemployed in the base and have not gone to the mission center to take on any missions.
Not long after the base was established, many people with special abilities came, and the six-story apartment building built specifically for them was almost three floors full.
But only a few of them form a team of psychics.
Apart from people like Shuxin and his friends, who knew each other before the end of the world, supported each other through the natural disaster, were able to fully trust each other, and successfully awakened their superpowers, there were very few.
As for the others, they tend to form temporary teams. They don’t trust each other very much, and their tacit understanding is much worse, so they dare not rashly go out and take risks.
For a while, no one was interested in the tasks that required teamwork to complete within the base.
The place where ordinary people receive their tasks is quite lively.
The leaders of the base assign tasks to ordinary people, such as building secure base walls, houses, infrastructure, cleaning designated areas, and other safe labor.
By doing appropriate physical labor, you can gain 20 to 50 energy points every day.
Three days ago, Xiao Lou and Ye Yu'an, who also came to the C City Security Base, met at the C City Base almost as if by fate. For some reason, they got to know each other and became nodding acquaintances.
As expected, Xiao Lou and his teammates moved into the villa area, while Ye Yu'an lived in an apartment provided by the base.
Yesterday, Xiao Lou's team accepted the first mission issued by the base that required team formation.
After hearing that some people had started to take on team-building tasks, Shuxin knew that their days of rest were over.
Shuxin was secretly happy after hearing the news: "That's great! I'm absolutely safe tonight!"
If there was no action before, we were just waiting for the first team to take action.
With the first team, the subsequent teams that take on tasks will not make much of a splash.
Just like, when you grow up, you will always remember who was first in the class, but you will not remember the names of the people who came after him.
Shu Xin and his friends have already hidden their strength and have secrets that cannot be known to outsiders. If they become the first to stand out, they will easily attract a lot of attention, which will not be conducive to their keeping their secrets.
"Someone in the base has already taken over the task of forming a team. We will be able to move tomorrow. Let's take a mission to test the waters."
After dinner in the evening, several people sat in the living room. Yan Mo held a cup of tea in his hand and spoke slowly.
"Well, I've been resting for so long that my bones are almost numb. I finally need to go out and stretch my body."
Maki took a sip of the tea in his hand. It was obvious from the moment he opened his mouth that he was an old warmonger.
"Yeah, yeah, I agree." Shu Xin kept nodding beside him, unable to hide her happiness, smiling so hard that you could almost see her back teeth.
"Then it's settled. Go to bed early tonight and get enough rest."
Yan Mo saw through Shuxin's little thoughts at a glance and gave her a score in his heart.
Some things can be avoided on the first day, but you can’t avoid them on the fifteenth day.
Debts owed must be repaid sooner or later.
"Hiss, no one took up this team mission yesterday, how come so many people came today?"
Shuxin stood on tiptoe, trying to see through the bustling crowd how many people were ahead of her.
"Everything is difficult at the beginning. Once you have the first one, there will be a second, a third, and countless more. It's not surprising."
Yan Mo reached out and supported Shu Xin to prevent her from falling down.
"Looking at this situation, there are not only people who formed a team before, but also a temporary team formed after receiving the news yesterday."
Makimai is the tallest among the four of them, with a height of 1.93 meters. Among the crowd, he is half a head taller than everyone else on average.
Yan Mo, who is 1.87 meters tall, and Mu Xiangwen, who is 1.85 meters tall, both look much inferior when standing next to Mu Qimai.
The height of the people in front of him had no effect on Makimai, and he could easily see the situation ahead.
"Each team should discuss and select the tasks. It will probably take quite some time before it's our turn."
Shu Xin gave up trying to see what was happening ahead and half-leaned on Yan Mo, letting him support her as she secretly took a break.
Yan Mo let her lean on him, with one hand around her waist.
Xiangwen and Qimai Mu were so upset when they saw this, they had to eat a lot of dog food every day.
The two men looked at each other: Lemons under the lemon tree, you and me under the lemon tree.
Because selecting missions takes time, the people at the base have obviously taken this issue into consideration, and three teams make their selections at the same time each time.
Despite this, Shuxin and his friends still had to wait in line for nearly forty minutes before it was their turn.
"Hello, my psychics. The remaining team missions for today are listed on the wall behind me. Please choose one and tell me the answer. I will help you register."
The staff standing behind the counter spoke in a gentle tone and with a respectful attitude. Even though they had already received so many teams, they still did not slack off at all.
"Okay, thank you. Let's take a look first."
Shuxin smiled and moved her eyes to the papers on the wall behind him, carefully reading the tasks written on each piece of paper.
While Shuxin and the others were still looking at the papers one by one, Yan Mo used his mental power to sweep across the papers on the wall, and all the mission information appeared in his mind.
It only took thirty seconds to choose a task that was perfect for them.
"Choose mission number 39." Yan Mo leaned close to Shu Xin's ear and whispered.
"Hello, we have chosen mission number 39. Could you please help us register?"
Shu Xin didn't even see what the mission was before she told the staff in front of her, fearing that if she was too late, Mission No. 39 would be chosen by the other two teams.
"You've decided so quickly?! You don't want to look around any more and choose again?"
The staff was obviously surprised at the speed with which Shuxin and his team selected the tasks.
It took less than a minute to select them? Is it so hasty?
"Okay, it's confirmed. Please help us register." Shu Xin said affirmatively.
"Okay, wait a moment."
The staff's professionalism was quite good. They quickly suppressed their surprise and helped them with the registration procedures.
While the staff were handling formalities, Shuxin and the other two quickly searched for the location of Mission 39 to check what the specific mission of Mission 39 was.
Mission No. 39: Go to the hospital in City C and bring back a set of surgical medical equipment. Completing the mission will reward you with 8,000 energy points.
"Take this card. When the time comes to hand in a mission, take this card and the things you need for the mission, and you can claim the corresponding reward."
"Okay, thank you."
Shu Xin took the card handed over by the staff, walked out of the office hall with Yan Mo and the others, got into the car, and drove out of the base in one go without any obstruction.
