Chapter 10 Subsequent Tasks

At the beginning of the meeting, Cao Ren spoke first as usual.

"Let's adjourn, grass~"

Its suggestion is to have breakfast and take a nap first.

"I think the safest way is to stay here for another 10 days."

"Anyway, we have seen it in the past few days. The terrain here is not afraid of the zombie beasts. We can find them in advance and hide in the sea."

"There are 5 guaranteed card draws, that's enough."

Mushroom said so.

"Let's take a look. I still want to continue searching for hidden tasks."

"Five days. I will stay for five more days at most."

"If I still don't find any clues after five days, I'll leave here."

"Then you can decide for yourself whether you want to come together or not."

Shi Li did not force them this time.

"I'll go with you, grass~"

"You guys want to leave me alone to play? No way."

Originally, Mushroom didn't want to go, but when he saw that the Straw Man agreed to go, he didn't want to stay anymore.

"That's settled then. In fact, it's nothing more than using the 1 card draw opportunity in the 3rd stage to get more card draw opportunities in the hidden mission."

Just as Shi Li finished his closing speech at the meeting, there was a knock on the door.

Knock knock knock.

When they opened the door, they saw Brother Guihuo, holding three steamed buns, breakfast for the three of them.

"Three big brothers, Uncle Liu is looking for you."

These words made the three of them look at each other, feeling that things might be taking a turn for the better.

You have to know that after that night, Uncle Liu didn't formally take the initiative to contact them in the past few days.

So I followed Brother Guihuo, and we went to the same rooftop terrace, and Uncle Liu was still on duty.

But the weather at the seaside is very good today, with no clouds in the sky.

The rising sun shines on the sea, making the waves a little dazzling.

The sea breeze blows, bringing with it a hint of warmth.

"Uncle Liu, I've brought the person here."

Brother Guihuo called out to him and came over to help him stand guard.

"Come, sit down."

Uncle Liu smiled kindly.

This time he no longer held the gun, but temporarily handed it to Brother Ghost Fire.

"How is it? Are you used to these days?"

He brought over a few small wooden stools and motioned for Shi Li and the other two to sit down.

"It's okay, grass~"

The straw man crossed his legs carelessly.

As he spoke, Uncle Liu handed over three bottles of mineral water.

"I'm sorry, it's been a few days since I last thought of inviting you for a drink."

"?" x2

Shi Li and Mosaicuo looked down at their hands, but this was not wine.

"Fuck, no milk tea?"

The straw man was not polite at all.

After 4 days, its milk tea concentrate tablets were almost finished.

"We are short of supplies here, so we use tea instead of wine and water instead of tea."

Uncle Liu unscrewed the cap with a smile and said, "To show my sincerity, I'll drink first."

As he spoke, he tilted his head back and gulped down a whole bottle of water.

"..., this is using tea instead of wine, and water instead of tea, are you sure it can still express your sincerity?"

I'm not trying to find fault with Mushroom, I just really can't help but complain.

“Hiss…ha!”

Uncle Liu seemed not to have heard the complaints. After drinking it all, he turned the bottle upside down and shook it, indicating that he had finished it.

The moves were quite bold and it seemed that he had been .

Then the four of them chatted on the top floor with a bottle of mineral water.

Just as Xiao Xing said, Uncle Liu is a veteran.

He said he had carried out many missions and later came to this island to live out his retirement life.

Due to my military habit, I got a few guns from friends and kept them at home for fun.

Perhaps because he traveled to too many places and met too many people during his service, he now prefers to stay at home, lock the door, play with guns, watch movies, play with guns, and does not like to communicate with others.

Unexpectedly, it was precisely because he didn't like to go out that he saved his life on the day when the zombie beast broke out.

When the story came to an end, Uncle Liu suddenly laughed to himself.

"Oh my, it seems that I am still too old to drink."

"I've only drunk this little, but I'm already feeling drunk."

"I talk a lot when I'm drunk, please don't mind me."

He covered his forehead and looked at the three people.

"I didn't expect you to be so dramatic. Just say whatever you want to say."

Shi Li's words made Uncle Liu's face slightly red, and it really looked like he was drunk.

"In that case, I'll get straight to the point."

"Actually, I called you three up here today because I have something to ask of you."

"Um... can you accompany me to the military hospital in the city?"

Uncle Liu finally made his request.

"Military hospital? Isn't that in the XC zone? It's very dangerous over there!"

"I remember that you are a single man, Uncle Liu. Do you have any concerns there? A mistress?"

When Brother Guihuo heard this, he became anxious.

The military hospital is located in the XC area, which is where the zombies are most concentrated.

The density was far higher than other areas. When searching for supplies, the three brothers once stepped into the edge of the XC zone, but they were so scared that they fled.

The third brother's modified tram was abandoned there.

"What do you know! Shut up!"

Perhaps stimulated by the words "single widower", Uncle Liu became angry and embarrassed.

"Uncle Liu, can you tell me why you want to go there?"

Shi Li didn't see the task pop up, so he asked.

"well……"

Uncle Liu sighed and began to tell the story.

In fact, he had also entered the city to search for supplies, so he knew that the XC area was dangerous.

But as Brother Guihuo said, there are people he cares about in the military hospital.

The leader I followed when I was in the army lived in the military hospital.

One of the reasons for choosing to retire in this island city was that I wanted to continue to be around that old man.

Although it has been three weeks since the zombie outbreak, he never thought that there were only 15 of them left.

It's just that due to communication interruption, they can't find each other.

The appearance of Shi Li and other two is undoubtedly the best proof.

The guard and defense forces at the military hospital are quite strong, so the chances of surviving are actually very high.

Originally, he was not sure that he could get to the military hospital by relying on his own skills through the gathering place of zombies.

But it was the appearance of Shi Li and the other two that gave him hope.

He really wanted to go and confirm in person whether his brother was safe.

Not until Uncle Liu finished his story did the subtitles finally pop up in front of Shi Li and the others.

[Do you accept the hidden mission: Help Uncle Liu find his old friend - 0/1]

"Okay, I'll help you with this."

Click Confirm immediately.

"How can I be left out of this kind of thing?"

"I'm going too, f**k~"

Mushroom and Scarecrow also clicked to confirm.

"Okay, okay! Then I'd like to thank you three here first!"

Uncle Liu was overjoyed.

"We'd better set off today without further delay."

Shi Li did not forget that they only had 10 days.

Who knows if there will be any follow-up to this hidden mission?

"Okay, then we'll set off right after lunch!"

Uncle Liu didn't expect the other party to be so proactive.

“But to go to the XC area, we still need to make some preparations.”

"You guys come with me."

After saying that, he left Brother Ghost Fire on duty and took the three of them down to the top floor.

Shi Li and the others followed Uncle Liu to the first floor. When Uncle Liu pushed open a secret door, they were shocked to find that there was a basement here.

Mushroom: "Oh my god, are these the guns you mentioned?"

Shi Li: "So you were playing with real guns. Sorry for misunderstanding you."

Uncle Liu: “?”

This basement is filled with various weapons.

They range from light pistols to heavy rocket launchers.

"A hobby is just a collection of hobbies."

"But we can't count on these big guys because we have no ammunition."

Uncle Liu picked up the rocket launcher, lifted it up, and then put it back.

"Just these little ones, with a few rounds of ammunition left."

"Do you know how to use a gun? Do you need it?"

As he said this, he threw a pistol to Shi Li.

Bang!

As a result, just as Shi Li caught it, a tongue of fire spurted out from the muzzle of the gun.

The bullet grazed Uncle Liu's scalp and left a smoking hole in the wall.

"!!!"

His long experience in the battlefields taught him that he had just been on the brink of death.

"What are you doing?!

Mushroom glared at Shi Li.

If they kill the people, they won't be able to complete their mission.

"How should I know? It will go off on its own as soon as I touch it."

Shi Li spread his hands.

"Hehehe...it's okay, it's okay, put the gun down first."

Uncle Liu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

He often maintained and played with this gun, and it had never accidentally discharged.

But I didn't see the other party pulling the trigger just now.

So he asked a few questions and found out that none of the three people planned to carry guns.

Mushrooms are because there is already a mushroom gun.

The straw man is because he trusts his fists more.

Shi Li was forbidden to carry a gun because he accidentally fired it again.

"In that case, I'll bring a few more. You can ask me for them when you want to use them."

Uncle Liu said as he sorted out his guns.

So at his signal, the four men moved some of the guns onto the fire truck.

After lunch, they prepared to set off.

"I'm more familiar with that section of the road, let me drive."

Uncle Liu volunteered to come to the driver's seat.

Shi Li shook his head and declined, "No one is allowed to touch my precious steering wheel."

"Okay, then I'll be your co-pilot and show you the way."

Uncle Liu didn't care.

Given the current situation in the city, and the fact that the driver is from another area, he felt it necessary for him to act as a navigator.

"Uncle, you are such a good man."

"Thank you, grass~"

This move was strongly welcomed by Mushroom and Straw Man.

Uncle Liu had heard Xiao Xing and the three Will-O-Wu brothers mention it, so he knew what they meant.

"Don't worry, I've been in the military, and I've experienced all kinds of situations."

"That's it. It's a piece of cake."

But he still smiled and sat on the passenger seat.

2 hours later, somewhere in the XC area.

BANG!!!

A fire truck was pushing a security booth and crashed into a wall.

"vomit!!!"

A figure quickly jumped out of the car, knelt on the ground and started vomiting violently.

"Are you okay, uncle?"

Shi Li walked over and patted the other person on the back.

"Your piece of cake is probably not a flying saucer."

"Hahahaha, shit."

Mushroom and Straw Man supported each other and got out of the car, laughing.

Uncle Liu vomited for a long time before he finally recovered.

"Is your superpower immortal?"

He looked at Shi Li in surprise and doubt.

I was careless. I have never experienced such a situation before.

It was just a fire truck, but it was driven like a tank.

Look at the energy with which he turns the steering wheel, as if he is rushing to die heroically.

In his opinion, only an immortal being would dare to drive like this.

"What should we do next?"

Shi Li looked into the distance.

Sure enough, the density of zombie beasts was very high in the streets between the buildings.

Much higher than any I've encountered before.

The most important thing is that they looked a little restless, walking very fast, and wandering back and forth.

It looks like the rampage period is approaching.

After Uncle Liu's introduction, they now understand the characteristics of these zombie beasts.

Specifically, there are 4 points in total.

1. Zombies only bite the human face, but biting any part of the body can cause infection.

2. Zombies mainly rely on vision and smell to find their targets, and have almost no hearing.

3. The vision and sense of smell of the zombie beast are also very poor, and the effective range does not exceed 5 meters.

4. However, during the rampage period, the vision and sense of smell of the zombie beast will be greatly improved to more than 100 meters.

"Without further delay, let's go upstairs."

Uncle Liu looked up at the tall building in front of him. This was the temporary residence he chose.

This building is a famous hotel in the city, and the surrounding terrain is relatively open, which makes it convenient for investigating the situation.

Another important point is that it is next to the only river in the city.

This section of the river is very wide and the water flow is not fast.

If they really encounter an emergency, they can jump into the river to escape.

"Okay, let's go."

Shi Li carried his own iron rod and walked into the hotel first.

However, as soon as I entered the door, a zombie beast wearing a front desk uniform pounced on me.

[Ah!]

Snap!

Shi Li dodged sideways and smashed its head with a stick.

It would be too conspicuous to walk in the middle of the hall, so they decided to walk along the wall.

The hall was very spacious, and there were three or five zombie beasts wandering around there, with their movements becoming increasingly larger and their steps becoming increasingly rapid.

“Maybe the rampage period is really coming.”

Uncle Liu saw it and became anxious.

I couldn't help but quicken my pace.

[Huh? A living person?]

Then at this moment, a broadcast suddenly sounded in the hall.

The four people who were hunched over were all stunned.

"Sure enough, I knew there were survivors!"

Then Uncle Liu's expression immediately brightened with joy.

"Where are you?"

Mosaichou tried to talk loudly to the other party, but it was obvious that the other party couldn't hear him.

[Hello, hello, can you hear me?]

[If you hear me, please wave your hand ]
