QT: Have Grievances? CAWHYC-Ch46

CHAPTER 46 - Smooth Evolution (End of Apocalypse World)

The battle between the survivors and zombies escalated again. Because of the early warning from the Capital base, except for a few remote small bases, the large and medium-sized bases have tried their best to kill the surrounding zombies, accumulating crystal cores, while also reducing the scale of the zombies' counterattack.

The zombies who woke up from their slumber have generally been upgraded to the next level. Although their strength had increased, they have not eaten flesh and blood for a year, making them more eager for fresh flesh and blood. They have become more ferocious, are their red eyes were aimed at the survivor base.

After the first medium-sized base was besieged by zombies, news of more bases being besieged came one after another.

After a year of extreme cold weather, many people froze to death or suffered frostbite in each base. However, with the support of sufficient resources, the harvested crystal cores, and a large number of upgraded special abilities, these bases were able to fight, and very few bases were breached in one fell swoop.

Two months later, an ability-user who escaped from a small base brought back the news that the small base was breached by zombies.

In the following ten years, the survivors and the zombies were locked in a tug-of-war. Due to adequate preparations in the early stages, the human survivors had a slight advantage.

Wu Lianyi and her group of Level 6 ability-users who were at the top of their peers, constantly go to various bases to help kill high-level mutant zombies, harvest crystal cores, and protect the base from being breached.

Every additional base they defended meant a reduced chance of zombies growing stronger, forcing the zombies to start turning their attention to mutated animals and plants.

However, after the period of extremely cold weather, the mutated animals and plants have also evolved and became more ferocious. The two sides fought fiercely, and both suffered damage.

The survivor base took advantage of this opportunity to start upgrading its own strength, developing more weapons to kill zombies and mutated animals and plants. Based on the genetic map of human evolution, it developed a genetic upgrade solution to give ordinary survivors without special abilities the opportunity to stimulate and awaken their special abilities.

Thirty years after the apocalypse, all survivor bases were protected by high-level crystal core defense shields, eliminating the risk of being wiped out by zombies. They then began to organize a counterattack, and forced the zombies deep into the mountains, which was a paradise for mutant animals and plants.

Forty years after the apocalypse, zombies were almost extinct. Because no zombie king was born among the zombies, they were completely suppressed by humans.

Fifty years after the apocalypse, humans had Level 7 ability-users who had enough ability to fight against mutated animals and plants, and thus began a century-long confrontation.

By the time humans entered the interstellar era, the entire small world had completed its evolution. At that time, Wu Lianyi was already a nearly 200-year-old Level 9 ability-user, a top-level existence among special ability users, and almost no one dared to disturb her except for major events. .

"When can I leave!"

Wu Lianyi asked the communicator with a sullen face.

"Right away."

"You've been riding on a horse for almost thirty years, when will you get off!"

Wu Lianyi said expressionlessly.

"Ahem, that. Because you are a primary task master, but you have taken over a third-level mission. I have been communicating with the headquarters and can only take you out of the small world after completing the procedures."

"......"

Wu Lianyi felt like she was being screwed. It wasn't because she hadn't completed the mission, but because she couldn't go back through normal channels, that she had to stay in the small world .

"You better hurry up, I feel like my lifespan is almost over!"

With a "crack" sound, Wu Lianyi crushed the delicate water cup in her hand, startling the intelligent robot on the side. It immediately slid over and shouted:

"Master! Please don't hurt yourself, Changshou No.1 will eliminate the dangerous factors immediately!"

Looking at her uninjured hand and at the intelligent robot making a fuss, Wu Lianyi helplessly held her forehead and left the place where she had been sitting to let the other party eliminate the dangerous factors.

The next day, a medical team came to the door and performed a full body examination on Wu Lianyi. They left after confirming that there was nothing wrong with her.

A year later, the communicator's voice sounded in Wu Lianyi's mind again:

"Taskmaster Wu Lianyi, as a primary tasker, has successfully completed the third-level mission with a 100% completion rate, eliminated the resentment of the original body and repaired the bug. You can now return to the Space-Time Management Bureau at any time."

"Give me a moment to explain."

Wu Lianyi said with a sense of relief.

"Okay!"

After calling Changshou No. 1 and giving a few explanations, Wu Lianyi directly dispersed her Level 9 ability crystal core, then her soul body broke away and left the small world in an instant.

"Alert! Alert! The master's body functions are declining rapidly! Heartbeat has stopped! Breathing has stopped!"

When Wu Lianyi opened her eyes, she was already in a white room. Opposite her was the man in a black suit with red phoenix eyes who sent her into the small world, but his expression looked a little embarrassed.

"Please give me an explanation!"

Wu Lianyi asked with a serious expression.

"I'm sorry, it was a mistake on our part. When we sent you into the primary mission world, you were affected by the space wormhole and your mission overlapped with that of an intermediate taskmaster."

"How do you compensate me?"

"You can choose the next mission yourself. Since you have completed the third-level mission as a primary taskmaster, how about you completing an equivalent of three missions this time?"

The man in the suit said very generously.

"All right!"

Wu Lianyi nodded in agreement, and then continued to ask:

"Can I complain about the communicator? He has misled me many times and provided inaccurate mission information, so if I could, I would give him a negative rating and apply for a replacement communicator."

"......"

After five minutes of silence, Wu Lianyi's expression remained the same while staring at the man opposite her.

"Ahem, I will be responsible for communicating with you from now on."

The man finally said.

"All right, what do I call you?"

"Shi Jiu (stone mortar)."

"Shijiu (nineteen)?"

"'Shi' as in stone, and 'jiu' as in mortar, a stone tool used to pound rice."

The man didn't want to be called a number, so he could only explain.

"Okay, I hope we can have a happy cooperation in the future!"

Wu Lianyi, wearing a purple thundercloud robe, stood up and saluted, marking the formal acquaintanceship between the two parties.

"You have three days to rest. After that, I will send you the suitable missions. Once you've chosen, let me know and I will send you into the mission world."

"I hope there won't be any mistakes this time!"

Wu Lianyi asked uneasily.

The questioned Shijiu: "No!"

After three days of vacation, Wu Lianyi chose a primary mission and was sent into the mission world by Shi Jiu.

Shi Jiu wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead, and then complained to his colleagues:

"This is the first time I have been complained by a taskmaster! Fortunately, I was smart and did not admit that I was the one who communicated with her before."

"Why are you so cowardly? What are you afraid of?"

Another communicator turned the nameplate in his hand and said teasingly.

"You think I want to? If it wasn't for the influence of the previous space wormhole, I wouldn't have sent her to a third-level mission world and almost made her fail!"

"...You're so unlucky!"
