QT: Have Grievances? CAWHYC-Ch30

 

CHAPTER 30 - One Step Further

The man did not expect to be attacked. He only had time to use his ability to block the bullet that was shot at his forehead, but he failed to avoid the earth spike that pierced his calf, the water arrow that pierced through his chest, and the purple lightning ball that turned into a sword and penetrated the back of his head.

At the last moment of his death, he didn't even know how he was exposed.

"Mission progress is two-fifths completed. Congratulations to the taskmaster for being one step closer to completing the mission."

The communicator's voice echoed in Wu Lianyi's mind.

After the man's body fell, the others ran out of the room, especially Sun Yi, who asked in surprise:

"Is there something wrong with this person?"

"He is the leader of these doomsday lunatics, and he has psychic abilities, so he avoided your perception."

Wu Lianyi explained calmly.

Sun Yi thought about it and nodded uncertainly. The other team members were also confused, but did not ask any more questions. A fire-type ability user stepped forward and threw a fireball, turning the man into ashes.

After the others dispersed, Ying Ao and Ying Yi gathered together and asked Wu Lianyi directly:

"Purple Eagle, how did you find out?"

"Women's intuition!"

"The truth!"

"The captive survivors were all like frightened birds. He was the only one who had a rosy complexion and was neatly dressed. Although the lies he made up were very convincing, he smelled of perfume. Which captive could be so particular about wearing perfume?"

Wu Lianyi explained very seriously.

She wouldn't say it was because she had seen this man in the original body's memory. He and Yun Rou teamed up to kill the original body who had become a Level 7 zombie.

In addition, from God's perspective, this man and Yun Rou were stirring up trouble in the small world. Now that the person is dead, her mission progress has advanced. Killing the other party was the clearly right decision.

"Why didn't I smell it?"

Ying Ao asked in confusion.

"Tsk! Can you tell the difference between toilet water and Dior perfume?"

Wu Lianyi asked directly.

"Is there a difference? Aren't they both very pungent!"

Ying Ao answered in a very straightforward manner.

Wu Lianyi cast a contemptuous look and left directly, not wanting to chat with the straight man of steel.

The next day, the people who stayed at the resort escorted the three scientific researchers to the base and joined the main force.

The Black Eagle team allocated a large truck and sent the survivors to the survivor base in L City. After another day of rest, they continued on their way.

Because the scourge, "Doomsday Lunatics" had been eradicated, the survivors hiding nearby also bravely came out, carrying all their belongings, and began to move towards the survivor base in L City.

The group only stayed at the survivor base in L city for three days, replenished gasoline and other high-consumption resources, and then continued on their way. They mainly raided the lair of the doomsday lunatics and collected a lot of good things in their storehouse.

After discussing with several captains, Ying Yi divided the resources into four parts and handed them over to the space ability users of each team for storage.

This was done to avoid putting all the eggs in one basket. If the group is forced to separate midway, each team will have sufficient supplies. Moreover, it can also let everyone involved in the operation to see the real benefits, which will facilitate future coordinated operations.

Ying Yi's decision benefited both the members of the Black Panther Team and the Chaoyang Team. This showed that the military was sincere and did not let them serve as cannon fodder, so the subsequent progress was significantly faster and the cooperation became more tacit.

The convoy moved forward without stopping for a month. During this period, many convoys joined and left. They joined to seek refuge and left because they arrived at a survivor base suitable for permanent residence.

After successfully entering the next province, the team decided to rest for two days at the nearest base in K City.

The survivor base in K City is no smaller than that in W City, and the arrival of their huge convoy naturally attracted the attention of the person in charge of K City. He immediately arranged for someone to inquire about their convoy and was relieved to learn that they would leave after staying at the base for two days.

The team temporarily rented a three-story building that could barely accommodate everyone. Everyone started to wash up, organize their belongings, and then split up to exchange for needed supplies.

The three scientific researchers said that they also wanted to visit the trading market in K City to see if they could find some equipment. Ying Yi arranged a team of six people to accompany them, but only two of them were allowed to go out at a time, and one person had to stay at the residence. This was for their safety, and the three researchers did not object.

After Wu Lianyi packed up, she took the Sun siblings out to see if there were any good things worth exchanging.

After the three of them had enthusiastically toured the entire trading market and found some very practical mutant plants, they returned to the residence. However, upon returning, they found that the atmosphere was a little strange.

When Ying Yi saw Wu Lianyi and the others coming back, he spoke to them directly.

"No. 1 and No. 2 went out today and found clues to an important scientific research instrument. They want to acquire that set of instruments, but the mission is difficult."

Wu Lianyi felt a bit of a headache after hearing this. These scientific research bosses could really find trouble for them, and then she looked at No. 1 and No. 2 (code names they were given so as not to expose their real names).

The two men, whose age were nearly a hundred years old in total, smiled sheepishly at everyone. They knew that this request was a bit difficult, but they had to put it forward.

"What level of mission?"

"SS level."

Ying Ao sat on the stool with his arms folded and said frankly.

"That is indeed quite difficult. What's the specific situation?"

Wu Lianyi also walked over and sat down, and asked Ying Yi directly.

"It's the highest-level scientific research institute in K City. The person in charge here received a distress signal from the research institute, so they organized a rescue operation. At the same time, they also wanted to move the scientific research materials and important equipment inside back to the base.

Unfortunately, all the people they sent were wiped out and not one came back in the end. However, the distress signal continued. They sent two more groups of people to investigate the situation, but these two teams also disappeared one after another.

Later, some zombie-hunting teams also took on this mission, but none of them returned, so the mission level was upgraded again and again, and now it is SS level. "

After hearing this, everyone fell into silence. Unknown dangers are the most terrifying.

"Three bosses, do you really need those instruments?"

Wu Lianyi asked with a smile.

No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 looked at each other. Despite Wu Lianyi's oppressive gaze, the three of them still nodded. No. 3 thought for a moment and explained:

"This instrument can speed up the extraction of crystal core energy and increase the utilization rate of the crystal core. For example, a Level 0 crystal core could be shot ten times before, but with this, one crystal core can be shot fifty times."

"......"

The meaning is very clear, this batch of equipment must be acquired.

"Let's discuss it further. You three can go and rest first."

Ying Yi said directly.

The three of them quickly went to the second floor to rest, while the remaining people gathered together and began to discuss whether to take on this mission.
