Chapter 991 The second night, the miserable Qingang Shelter!
Qinggang City.
Ruined hut in the southern suburbs.
The distant barking continued for a long time.
I don't know if the group of hyenas chasing Wei Lai had a conflict with other radioactive beasts, or if other humans accidentally passed by and were besieged.
With no way to contact the outside world through the heavy fog, the three-person team could only wait patiently for the movement to disappear.
After checking the items he carried with him, Dream Taoist gathered all the food in a backpack.
There isn't much food, so if you save some food, it's only enough for three days.
However, as long as we can successfully reach the B-377 Resurrection Water Plant in Rosas through the underground pipe network, where there are still sufficient supplies, it is not a problem to persist for another half month.
The male gunman counted all the weapons and ammunition.
There are also three hundred rounds of ammunition, six grenades, and twenty-six crossbow bolts, enough for a small-scale contact battle.
"You said that if the lord chooses the scavenger route and stays in Qinggang City every day, wouldn't that be a steady way to gain experience?"
After checking that the experience bar that was still rising was almost touching the edge of level four, the old man said, "Smash it, hit it, hit it."
Although the bonus of scavengers is indeed low, the special talents are not as violent and intuitive as other professions.
But the threshold for gaining experience is much lower.
Like now, as long as you are in an unfamiliar environment, the game will continuously reward you with experience points.
You can also gain a lot of experience by exploring places that you have never been to before.
The dreamer came from behind and handed over a bottle of water.
"What are you thinking about? If you choose this route just to level up quickly, wouldn't it be worth the loss? Besides, we didn't choose scavengers just to level up quickly, right? If we really want to level up, we might as well become reserve soldiers. They can only fight a battle.
Someone has reached level six!"
This sentence was recognized by the male gunman who was standing in the corner on guard.
If you think of both scavengers and reservists as different options for combat routes.
So the biggest difference between the two is
Freedom!
Reserve soldiers need to participate in large-scale battles or overall battles to receive additional experience bonuses.
Other than that, you can only participate in boring daily training to gain trivial gains.
On the other hand, for scavengers, almost any exploration activity will be rewarded with experience.
Especially now, rushing into dangerous areas "single-handedly" like this will give you more experience rewards.
"In the future, as long as our territory can be expanded to farther places, there will still be a lot of blank areas waiting to be explored."
"Upgrading is actually not the main factor we should consider now."
The dreamer sat on the ground, took out the small notes in his hand, and recorded them with the faint light.
Relying on his memory, he had already mapped out the several blocks and routes he had just passed.
No wonder there are very few marauders and wanderers in that area in the western suburbs, and there are no radioactive beasts of any size wandering around.
In the southern suburbs, the ecological environment and food chain here are extremely mature.
Although the access roads between each giant community are short, there are patches of greenery inside the community.
Over the long years, they have formed a shelter like a rainforest through constant mutation, becoming a paradise for all kinds of radioactive beasts to survive.
And those high-rise buildings that often have seventy or eighty floors, as well as complex underground pipe networks.
This allows the humans living here to have a place to go and reproduce in this area without disturbing each other.
Of course, these words were recorded by Dream Taobao and planned to be subsequently sold to other people in the village.
To describe it in his own words, it only takes four words.
A treasure trove of leveling!
The area in the western suburbs is a proper novice village, with less danger and is the best place to familiarize yourself with the urban terrain.
But I want to further feel the danger and experience the battle.
Unless you visit Pingtan Shelter, it is difficult to find suitable enemies.
On the contrary, the southern suburbs have complex terrain, many radioactive beasts, and predators often appear.
There are no major forces here, they are just scattered groups gathered in a certain area.
As long as you can detect specific information, it's the best place to practice your combat skills.
Now that we have recorded the information of each block, people will naturally be willing to buy it.
"It's time for us to set off, it's night time in an hour."
"If there are still radioactive beasts entrenched at the nearest landing point, we will go down through another place."
The time turned to five o'clock in the afternoon. Rosas woke up from his stupor and looked at the sky outside and couldn't help but suggest.
It's amazing. It's only been more than two hours since I drank the mysterious liquid, but half of the arrow wound on my leg has healed.
Although there are still bursts of pain emanating from the arrow hole, it finally does not affect normal activities.
And for him, who has lived in such a complicated environment since birth.
Rosas knew it.
In the wasteland, this thing is simply a second life!
Even if it is still not as good as the new healing liquid that is rumored to be sold in the academy, it is definitely not something that ordinary people can have.
The identities of these three people are definitely extraordinary!
"Let's go, it seems to be unsafe outside."
Through the broken window, the black ash left by the undead on the ground was already trembling slightly.
Not sure what this phenomenon meant, the male gunman pulled the collar and pushed open the covered entrance.
The four people walked out one after another and disappeared into the thick fog.
Northern suburbs.
Qinggang Industrial Zone.
The gloomy-faced Commander Edmund stood on the repaired lightning wall, looking straight into the distance.
On the open space of at least tens of thousands of square meters that had been cleared by artillery fire, some strange phenomena appeared again at some of the black ash that had not been cleared away in time.
There is no air blowing or artificial lifting.
They were constantly hovering and vibrating on the ground, as if they had received some kind of perception.
"Go down and be ready to defend and counterattack at any time!"
Edmund picked up the pager on his belt and ordered coldly.
Never afraid of death, Clear Harbor Shelter has indeed provoked a formidable opponent this time.
Judging from the results of yesterday's defensive counterattack, the goals of these undead are very clear.
They are neither seeking revenge on those who killed them, nor are they seeking to overthrow the entire Clearhaven Sanctuary.
If soldiers stand in front of them, they will attack.
However, as long as the soldiers get out of the way, they will immediately turn a blind eye and continue moving forward.
The same goes for the captured wanderers. As long as they don't block the path of the undead, they will choose to pass by as if they didn't see it.
After discovering this phenomenon for the first time, Edmund was still a little excited, thinking that he had discovered a way to snipe the undead.
But soon, he stopped laughing.
He was shocked to find that these resurrected undead had only one goal.
Industrial plants!
It sounds outrageous, but it really happened.
If you approach a factory building in an industrial area and enter it, the bodies of these undead will explode like bombs.
They will take those incomplete factories into the sea of fire, and they will not stop until they burn to the point where their original appearance is no longer visible.
And after this explosive death, they will truly die without leaving a trace of ashes.
'Then just let them blow up all the industrial areas. There is no need for us to sacrifice!'
When the first Sunny Harbor guard stood up and said such words, he was recognized by most people.
Even Edmund himself thought so for a moment.
Compared with those damn factories, use life and cannonballs to resist monsters that are completely unafraid of death.
No matter how you look at it, this doesn't seem like the right choice.
But it's a pity.
He is a commander and a soldier at the same time, and the greatest rule of a soldier is to obey orders.
The senior management of the shelter unanimously decided to protect the remaining factory buildings or to prevent these undead from trampling on the reputation of Sunny Harbor Shelter and becoming a joke in the entire city.
They shouted the slogan: If you can kill them once or twice, why can't you kill them a hundred or a thousand times.
So stupid!
After Edmund gave the order, he couldn't help but curse secretly in his heart.
These old antiques have not been exposed to a truly cruel war for too long. Although they have vision and knowledge that ordinary people cannot match, these undead.
This thing is beyond the scope of what normal people can understand?!
Edmund made a rough calculation.
If the attack of the undead tonight remains the same as yesterday, then it will cost at least three thousand people to defend it.
The consumption of weapons and ammunition is even greater, which must be sufficient for a team of at least 20,000 people.
How many people are there in the entire industrial zone defense team?
About thirty thousand people.
Yesterday we paid the price of 5,000 people, and today we gained another 3,000 people.
Even if the team is full of iron men, it is absolutely impossible to turn a blind eye to a loss rate of more than 25%.
As for holding on today, what should we do tomorrow, and what should we do the day after tomorrow?
To be honest, Edmund hadn't thought about it at all.
Because after tonight, as long as there is even the slightest sign of the undead reviving, the entire defense line will definitely fall immediately.
Forcibly suppressed fear will spread throughout the camps like a super contagion.
"I'll go find the manager. If there's a fight, you can take command."
After assigning work to the deputy commander, Edmund walked down the city wall and walked into the industrial area.
As the most powerful force in the entire Qinggang City, the entrance and exit to the underground shelter are naturally not as secretive as other places.
Soon, Edmund came to a rectangular building like a bunker.
The exterior wall of the building is about thirty meters long and twelve meters high. On the front is an oversized alloy gate that is five meters thick, with a sci-fi gear pattern painted on it.
Starting from the 100 meters in front of the gate, inspection checkpoints were arranged one after another.
Many residents who fled from the industrial area yesterday gathered here, either setting up simple tents or sitting directly on the cold ground.
They were unable to obtain permission to return underground, probably because of the pedantic rules set by the old antique managers who were afraid that the undead would take the opportunity to invade the underground shelter.
"Commander Edmund, why are you back?!"
"Um"
Edmund pinched the badge on his chest and straightened it.
He did not answer the guard captain's question, but kept walking through the checkpoints with his head held high.
It wasn't until he reached the last level that he said softly:
"Has Master Hades left the laboratory? I want to report to him on the latest city defense situation!"
"Not yet. Not yet."
The guard captain in the sentry box quickly stood up and replied with a respectful expression.
Upon hearing this unexpected answer, Edmund felt a hint of disappointment on his face.
But this time, he did not choose to go back directly like before.
"Open the door, I want to go down and hold a referendum meeting."
"No, Lord Edmund, the deputy manager, Lord Tang En, said that in wartime, no one can pass through the downward passage."
Recognizing the face of the highest boss on the ground, the guard captain looked frightened when he refused.
They say that when gods fight, little devils suffer.
One is the commander of the entire industrial zone, and the other is the deputy manager of the underground shelter.
Before Master Hades came out of the laboratory, the two of them usually went about their own business and never interfered with each other.
But this unexpected attack by the undead broke this tacit understanding.
Edmund can be held responsible for the undead invading the underground, because the lightning wall has already been lost once, and the undead once invaded the industrial area last night and gained the upper hand. Those damn plunderers have trampled the Clear Harbor refuge.
So face.
But Tang En.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that he is not willing to take any responsibility for such a major "mistake."
Even if the neutralizing hydrogen bomb was secretly brought into the industrial zone because he wanted to hold a meeting.
"I want to convene a referendum meeting, and I don't need his consent."
"No, Lord Edmund, this is the unanimous request of all underground managers and every minister."
"What?"
Edmund held the pistol at his waist, and his small eyes narrowed into a line because of anger.
"Are they willing to take responsibility for my dead soldiers?!"
Completely remove the pot and divide the above ground and underground into two parts.
Are these guys crazy?
Aren't they afraid that the lightning wall will fall and the undead will blow up an entire industrial area before breaking into the ground?
All the tactical nuclear weapons that can be used within the authority have been thrown out, and the rest must be approved by Master Hades.
Before the "experiment" is over
This attitude will mean that the entire above-ground part will not receive the slightest support!
"This is the intention of the managers, and it is also the referendum opinion of every underground resident. The underground part has held a referendum from last night to today. 92% of the people chose to block the door, and only 8% chose to open the door."
"Edmund, you were also born underground. I believe you should know what this means."
"If you have other ideas, we will be responsible for conveying them."
As he spoke, the guard captain took out a tablet from the cabinet, which displayed two lines of data.
As he said, the red closing parties accounted for almost all the shares, and not all of the remaining 8% chose to open. Many people chose to abstain.
"Damn, what a bunch of old foxes who only think about themselves!"
"Master Hades will punish them, I promise, I promise!"
A rude roar echoed in front of the alloy gate, and all the nearby guards looked over, expressions flashing on their faces.
At this moment, Edmund had already imagined the group of people sitting in front of the screen, watching his helpless and angry appearance.
But they would never have thought of it.
Since you don’t want to play, then everyone should stop playing.
"Send my order to open the lightning wall and let those bastard wanderers in!"
"Yes, tell them."
"Stop the undead, and this will be their new home from now on!"
