Volume 2 The more labor you bring, the greater your responsibility Chapter 81 New mission, new journey!
Shen Jin was overjoyed when he heard the system prompt coming from his ear!
Finally! Finally got the [World Line]!
Whether it is the [Crystal Core Shop] or opening the [Craftsman Soul] and [Food Crafting] modules, a [World Line] is required. This special thing is blocking the technology tree of his system's upward development.
"Great! I'll take a closer look at how to choose, module or store? I'm really looking forward to it!"
Shen Jin was in no hurry to do it now, because there were still a lot of things waiting for him to deal with. Looking down from the wall, it was a mess, with big holes everywhere, especially the deep hole between the outer area and Xianghai community, which had doubled in size at this time. Even Shen Jin found it difficult to get through now...
And amidst the mess, many red and green stars were shining.
"There are still a lot of energy crystal cores down there! Of the 70,000 zombies, about a quarter are evolved zombies, which means..."
"17,700" Shang Qian answered quickly.
"That's right! There are so many zombie crystal cores, and there are also some first-level energy crystal cores. They are all good stuff!"
Shen Jin has a crystal core store. As long as he wants to expand his team of extraordinary people, these energy crystal cores can allow him to form a team of 1,000+ people in an instant!
But he couldn't do that now, because he couldn't control such a huge force. At that time, it wouldn't be like the Corpse Killing Team and the Female Head Team, where it was a sword in his hand, but... the "Sword of Damocles" hanging over his head!
There's no telling when it might backfire on him.
Shen Jin never assumes the worst of others, but he also never puts himself in danger.
The extraordinary team must be expanded slowly...
The three people Shang Qian mentioned earlier who took the initiative to stand up and express their willingness to live and die together with the Hongshui Bay Base are good.
“Lao Zhao, find two people to bring back the people from our base. There are so many crystal cores that we can’t pick up all of them with just 24 people. Take them to pick up the large crystal cores of the super-evolved zombies first!”
"Okay, boss!" Zhao Chao called two extraordinary people, a man and a woman, and went to the old pier in the Likou District to call people.
He took his men down there to pick up the crystal cores.
Shen Jin glanced at the dead big-headed zombie, and a question came to his mind: "Why can I gain a [World Line] by killing this zombie? Besides being an intelligent zombie, what else is special about it? Is the compound-eyed zombie in Q City... dead or not? If dead, why didn't you give me a [World Line] at that time? If not dead... I clearly saw the zombies starting to riot... Did they come back to life later?"
Shen Jin was puzzled.
“That’s right!”
Shen Jin kept thinking about the large energy crystal core below and forgot that he had one in his hand. He took the diamond sword and peeled off the half-recovered head of the big-headed zombie, but there was nothing inside!
"Huh? Where's its energy crystal core?"
Shen Jin continued to peel open its body and found a crystal clear black energy core at the location of its heart. "No wonder it was able to revive even though its head was blown off. It turns out the core is hidden here!"
Shen Jin received it in his backpack, which showed:
[Secondary Energy Crystal Core (Soul)]
[It contains an extremely high concentration of "energy factor" that can release a large amount of energy. This crystal core has the attribute of "soul"]
[You can exchange items in the "Crystal Core Store"]
"This... is actually a level 2 energy crystal core. I guess it's only needed for the next level crystal core shop, but... why does it have an attribute, soul? Could it be that this big-headed zombie can be resurrected through the soul? And thus drive the transfer of energy crystal cores?"
Shen Jin thought of the big-headed zombie's unlimited resurrection ability, which might be related to its attributes...
While Shen Jin was picking up the energy crystal cores on the city wall, he looked at his task:
[Mission: Prosperous Settlement II]
[Requirements: Form an armed force of more than 50 people (wearing any armor made by the system), and have them kill 1,000 random zombies]
[Quest Reward: 100 World Coins, Enchanted Book Gift Pack × 1]
[Current progress: 23/50|1000/1000]
[Mission Description: A prosperous settlement requires sufficient military force to defend its safety]
"Wait, just give equipment to 27 more people!"
The most difficult task of killing 1,000 zombies has been completed, and making a few pieces of equipment is definitely not a problem. After half a month of accumulation, Shen Jin's mineral resources have begun to take shape.
The 10 [ore washers] worked day and night to wash out all the sand and soil on the seabed. Add to that the daily task gift packs, and the accumulation is quite rich.
Two hours later, everyone at the old dock in Lvkou District came back. They looked at the outer district wall that was full of cracks, the two big deep pits outside, and the zombie body parts all over the ground... They knew what a fierce battle had taken place here.
Shen Jin's backpack contained 27 newly made sets of armor, which he distributed to the reserve force of the Corpse Killing Team - the Self-Defense Force.
Tong Zhen, Meng San and Lao Wu all got a set.
This is Shang Qian’s special reward to them. People who are grateful and have feelings and righteousness are the seeds of future extraordinary people.
With the equipment in place, Shen Jin's mission was accomplished!
[Ding~! "Prosperous Settlement II" mission completed, rewards: World Coins × 100, Enchanted Book Gift Pack × 1]
[Gain: World Coin x 100]
[Obtain: Enchanted Book Gift Pack × 1]
"Enchanted book? Interesting... I wonder if it can contain some of those extremely rare enchantments..."
As Shen Jin was muttering, the next task of the system came out.
[Ding~! New mission]
[Mission: Prosperous Settlement III]
[Requirements: Expand the settlement and use any blocks to enclose a base of no less than 20 square kilometers ( the enclosed block must not be less than 3M in height, and there must be no zombies in the base)]
[Mission Reward: 150 World Coins]
[Current progress: 3/20]
[Mission Description: A prosperous settlement requires sufficient land to ensure the scale of development]
"Expanding the territory? That's great, I'm good at this!"
Shen Jin discovered that the rare system's task was consistent with his current approach. He had already cleared most of the mountain villages east of the Hongshui Bay base. As long as he completely cleared this area, he would be able to obtain a mountain space of no less than 20 kilometers.
After the entire mountain terrain space and the Hongshui Bay base were integrated together, it happened very coincidentally... that the terrain was surrounded by water on three sides!
The Hongshuiwan Base is located on a protruding plot of land in the southwest corner of the Lvkou District. It is surrounded by water on three sides, with mountains on the east. To the northeast is a major passage leading to the Lvkou District, and it is also where 70,000 zombies were just buried.
If the entire mountain area in the east is included in the base, the territory they occupy will be the south of the Brigade District and the southern end of the entire D city.
As long as you do a good job of defense, this terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack!
Of course, the usable space in the mountains is relatively small, and many terrains are not suitable for living. Even if Shen Jin has the ability to block and can open up mountains and create land, but... there are too many of them!
Shen Jin can't just do nothing every day and level the mountains and fill the sea. He actually only needs to preserve the previous villages. After clearing out the zombies, that place will become a natural settlement with houses and living facilities.
There is no need for Shen Jin to build them one by one.
Moreover, as Shen Jin's armed forces become stronger and stronger, they will fully defend the north side of the mountain so that not a single zombie will appear in the entire territory!
When Shen Jin was planning his future development, Zhu Dan came. He looked a little haggard, obviously due to frequent use and excessive consumption of energy.
In this battle, Zhu Dan consumed the most energy crystal cores. "Brother... we won. I still feel a little unreal , as if those 70,000 zombies haven't arrived yet... haha!"
"Zhu Dan, we won, and we won beautifully. If you hadn't been here in this battle... I really don't know how I would have fought!"
Zhu Dan has been working day and night for the past three days to empower weapons for everyone, which resulted in all kinds of explosive attacks from everyone!
Especially the [Empowered Bow], which gave these power-type reckless men long-range abilities. Shen Jin's [Empowered Diamond Sword] destroyed the body of the big-headed zombie with one strike, and then cut off an arm of the giant swollen zombie. The empowered power was so terrifying!
"Well, let's not talk about this... These are all things I should do, and my abilities have also been trained. I have a feeling... I may soon break through to the second level of transcendence. I only need an opportunity... and I can reach that level!"
"Damn! That's great! I'm so jealous...but I'm so happy for you!"
Shen Jin was really happy. If someone else broke through to the second level, he might be a little apprehensive, but when a middle school kid like Zhu Dan broke through, he was just happy, because he said, "I want everything to be bright and clear wherever I go!"
Shen Jin was really shocked.
From that moment on, Shen Jin knew that having someone like Zhu Dan was a blessing for the entire apocalypse...
"I should go now. I need to go back to my settlement to check on them. Even though they are not on the same line as the zombie tide, if there is a small riot, they will be difficult to deal with!"
"Hey ...are you leaving so soon? Can you go on like this without taking a rest?"
"It's okay, just give me another Senzu Bean. Almost half of the zombies in the entire Brigade District have been eliminated in this battle... I think we can strike while the iron is hot and start the zombie cleanup plan! The liberation of D City starts from the Brigade District!"
When Zhu Dan said this, the fatigue on his face was wiped away, and he became fanatical, with the fire of middle school second year burning!
Shen Jin threw him a magic bean, "Well... okay, I can let Zhao Chao bring some people to follow you to complete your plan. I have other things to do... I can't go with you, but, if you have anything, call me, Shang Qian and I will do our best to get there! You know Shang Qian's ability, she can travel very fast!"
Zhu Dan helped Shen Jin survive this zombie tide, and Shen Jin was willing to help him fulfill this wish, even if they could only start cleaning up from one community, one street, and one zombie at a time, but... as Zhu Dan said, if every extraordinary person is working hard to clear out the zombies, sooner or later the whole country will be liberated!
"Okay! We'll meet again in the mountains and rivers. When I go back and settle them down, we'll start the cleanup plan for the travel area!"
"Okay! Good luck all the way, brother!"
Half a minute passed...
Shen Jin looked at Zhu Dan who was standing still, feeling a little embarrassed. Zhu Dan scratched his head and took out a flattened hard drive from Spider-Man's underwear. "Uh... do you still have this 'learning material'?"
Shen Jin covered his face and said, "That's unacceptable, brother! We men should never forget our roots!"
