Chapter 112 New Outing Mission
Early morning.
Song Chen gathered all the members together after breakfast.
"Today, a new outing mission is issued, and the target is the high-end residential area not far to the north."
There are still many open spaces around the villa area, but Song Chen does not want to limit the scope of the base to the villa area.
When the number of people in the base increases in the future, the areas of various departments will be divided one after another. The villa area alone will definitely not be enough. It happens that there is a high-end residential area to the north of the villa area, which can be used as the living area for the members of the base.
It may be too early to talk about these things now, but Song Chen prefers to do things in advance to avoid unnecessary troubles later.
Especially there are many residents in the high-end residential area.
More residents means more zombies.
Judging from their current strength, it is definitely impossible to clean up the entire high-end residential area in a short time. The sooner they act, the better.
This is not the first time for everyone to go out for action. They have no resistance to Song Chen's orders, but are eager to try.
Going out is accompanied by point rewards, and going out to kill zombies to obtain crystal cores can also be exchanged for points, which can be exchanged for food and daily necessities.
It is much safer than going out to kill zombies alone and relying on crystal cores to exchange points, and the points obtained are much more.
After these days of observation, they have realized that as long as they have enough points, they can exchange what they want in the base.
The quantity and variety of materials in Song Chen's hands are far richer than they imagined.
Not only that, points can also improve the member level.
As long as they pay the corresponding points, they may even become core members, and they can get free meat every month, and even fresh seafood.
This is a fatal attraction for members who pay attention to food.
Seeing that all the members are eager to try, Song Chen did not continue to talk too much and directly handed over the right to speak to Cheng Siyuan.
Cheng Siyuan stood in front of everyone and began to group the members and formulate action plans according to his own judgment.
Song Chen will not accompany them on this outing.
The reason is that the destination of this action is not far from the villa area, and there is no large amount of materials to be transported, so it is not meaningful for him to follow.
The most important thing is that Song Chen wants to take this opportunity to train Cheng Siyuan.
Although Cheng Siyuan can do everything in an orderly manner when managing the group company, fighting is different from managing a company. Intuition, decision-making, on-site judgment and reaction to the battle are all very important.
Song Chen cannot always follow the team. When necessary, someone needs to step up to take over the command role. The responsibility will naturally fall on Cheng Siyuan, the deputy base commander.
So while the current zombie level has not caught up and the risk factor is not high, Song Chen wants to increase the training of Cheng Siyuan.
Cheng Siyuan also understands Song Chen's good intentions and is seriously preparing to take on this burden.
Since it is an outing mission directly issued by Song Chen, the reward points are considerable, so most members choose to perform the mission together, and only a few exceptions choose to act on their own.
Song Chen did not force them to participate.
Anyway, if you want to live comfortably, you need points, and it is impossible to be lazy.
Instead, as long as they can bring back enough crystal cores, Song Chen encourages them to take positive action.
After all, there are so many people in the base, he can't always take care of everything. The members have their own ideas, which saves him a lot of worries.
As for this operation without Song Chen, can safety be guaranteed?
Compared with the first-level zombies, the strength of the second-level zombies is not much different, but the defense, strength, speed and other aspects have increased.
It may be more difficult for the first-level and second-level psychics to deal with them, but they are not a threat to Cheng Siyuan and Ji Yumo, whose psychic levels have reached the third level.
What's more, there are members such as Chang Minghao and Yang Qian who are about to break through to the third-level psychic.
In short, there is no need to worry too much about personnel safety.
Moreover, flowers in the greenhouse cannot survive in the cruel doomsday.
If the members always need the protection of Song Chen and other high-level psychics, how can the goal of becoming the strongest base be achieved?
Only after experiencing wind and rain can you see the rainbow.
The survivors can only survive longer by fighting continuously.
Cheng Siyuan led the members to set off.
Although the high-end residential area is not far from the villa area, Cheng Siyuan still decided to drive there. Even if he encountered an emergency that he could not deal with, he could drive away quickly, which was better than running around outside.
After everyone set off in a mighty manner, only Liu Fang, Ji Lu and Song Chen were left in the huge Dawn Base.
Even Lan Ya was sent by Song Chen to serve as a bodyguard for Cheng Siyuan and Ji Yumo.
Liu Fang was busy with her work in the cafeteria, while Ji Lu was taking care of the grape vines as usual.
I don’t know if it’s Song Chen’s illusion, he always feels that the grape vines seem to have grown a little bigger than when he first brought them back, especially the vines are much thicker, which is probably related to Ji Lu feeding it crystal cores every day.
After all, the grape vines didn’t encounter many zombies when they were picking in the garden, let alone absorbing crystal cores.
Song Chen even guessed that this guy might soon be able to break through the level of superpowers to level three.
By then, we should be able to figure out what kind of superpowers this guy has awakened.
…
A total of twenty members participated in this outing.
For combat power considerations, Cheng Siyuan and Ji Yumo, who had the highest level of superpowers, each brought two members, and the remaining fourteen members were led by Chang Minghao and Yang Qian.
Collective action is not efficient, and the training that can be obtained is limited, so after arriving at the high-end residential area, Cheng Siyuan asked each team to explore separately.
Lan Ya, who was independent of the formation, wanted to follow Cheng Siyuan, but was rejected by Cheng Siyuan, so she could only choose to follow Ji Yumo.
Ji Yumo led two members to explore the east side of the high-end residential area.
Coincidentally, these two members happened to be Ji Lu's roommates at North City University, Sun Qian and Zhu Dandan.
After leaving North City University with Song Chen, the two had no other place to go, so they stayed with the others.
Fortunately, both of them awakened superpowers.
Sun Qianqian has wind superpowers, and Zhu Dandan has earth superpowers.
However, the proficiency of the two in using superpowers is not high, especially Zhu Dandan, who can only make a small earth bag with all her strength, which is not very useful in actual combat.
In the past, they were always fishing in the muddy waters of the big team. On weekdays, they would never step out of the room if they could stay at home. Even in the previous agricultural greenhouse operation, the two of them failed to kill a zombie, and they only relied on the points of the task reward to get to where they are now.
If the points were not almost used up, the two would not choose to participate in this operation.
Ji Yumo did not participate in the previous operation, so he naturally did not know about this kind of thing, and just treated the two as ordinary members.
Pushing open the half-open door, Ji Yumo waved to Sun Qian and Zhu Dandan.
"You two go to the second bedroom next door and be careful of zombies suddenly appearing."
After saying that, Ji Yumo took the lead in walking towards the master bedroom, and Lan Ya followed her closely.
A highly decomposed corpse was lying on the bed in the master bedroom. Judging from the bloodstains left around it, it is very likely that on the day of the apocalypse, the family members living together turned into zombies and bit them to death on the bed.
However, there was no trace of zombies in the master bedroom. It is very likely that they are in other rooms or have run away.
Thinking of this, Ji Yumo hurriedly left the master bedroom and prepared to check on Sun Qian and Zhu Dandan, but when he came out, he found that they were sitting on the sofa in the living room, looking around with disgust.
"Have you checked the situation of the second bedroom?"
Ji Yumo was a little surprised.
Sun Qian and Zhu Dandan answered in unison without thinking: "We have checked it, and there is nothing unusual."
Although it felt a little strange, it is also common for houses to be vacant. Ji Yumo did not take it to heart and took the two to continue searching other houses.
Until the third house was searched.
