Chapter 177: 113 You wish! (First update)_2

Yesterday’s compulsory conscription order was cancelled, mercenaries no longer had to accept missions, and could form their own teams to go downtown to rescue people or hunt zombies, with the number of people saved and the Crystal Cores obtained being the basis for receiving rewards.

To encourage more rescues, the reward for saving one person was significantly higher than that for a single Crystal Core.

This was a voluntary mission, and in addition, there was an added patrolling mission. After establishing the Safe Zone, as the number of survivors inside increased, the zombies gathering outside also became more numerous. The Zombie Leader made the higher-ups of the Safe Zone vigilant, prompting them to issue this patrolling mission to prevent a large-scale gathering of zombies outside the Safe Zone.

The task involved patrolling the periphery of the Safe Zone, with a certain number of mercenaries assigned to each section. Once zombies appeared, they were to kill them to prevent them from forming in large numbers.

The rewards for the patrolling missions were different from those of the voluntary missions; there was a fixed salary, and for every zombie killed, there was an additional income.

Such tasks were most suitable for mercenaries of lesser strength, because they were not far from the Safe Zone, and the risk was not so high. Accordingly, the pay was not too high either.

The Fang Family chose the voluntary mission directly. This new regulation by the military had helped them, as finding Elemental Crystals alongside others would not be easy.

After meeting up with Chen Qiao and the other four, they were ready to enter the city together to look for Elemental Crystals and simultaneously kill more zombies.

For convenience, Fang Yuxin and Fang Yuyang directly rode motorcycles, while the others split into two SUVs. Once out of the Safe Zone, they sped toward the city’s direction.

Thanks to a dream, Fang Yuxin knew very well the severely afflicted areas in the city. This time, she intended to check out one of the nearer locations. It was an old district, once very bustling with tall buildings densely packed. However, as other areas developed sequentially, the situation there declined and it became a gathering place for low-income individuals and migrant workers.

Fang Yuxin chose this place because it was relatively remote, thinking the military might not discover it yet, planning to find more Elemental Stones ahead of the military.

Chen Qiao and the others almost obeyed everything that Fang Yuxin and Fang Yuyang suggested, not showing any dissent.

As the city drew nearer, more zombies appeared on the road. This time armed with guns, they had an easier time handling them. However, their luck didn’t seem too good, as they encountered three Mutant Zombies!

“Be careful!”

Seeing a clearly larger Mutant Zombie charging towards the SUV where Fang Jintang and Qu Qianhe were, Fang Yuxin couldn’t help but cry out. As her voice rang out, a bullet struck the Mutant Zombie right in the forehead.

Regrettably, the bullet didn’t penetrate the bone but was embedded in the skin, sticking there comically.

The flames burned, and the zombie struggled even more violently. It desperately beat its mud-wrapped hands against its head, gradually smothering the flames.

Fang Jintang seized the moment to shoot at its head.

“Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!”

After three shots, the flames had extinguished completely. Just then, a white shadow flashed over the zombie’s head. It moved swiftly, its sharp claws reflecting a cold light in the sunlight. Using the Mutant Zombie’s head to spring off, the white figure traced a beautiful curve in mid-air, finally landing in front of Fang Jintang and Qu Qianhe, still clutching a white Crystal Core in its claws.

“Meow~~” Angela narrowed her eyes, making a pleasing sound as if seeking praise.

Qu Qianhe rubbed its round head and picked up the Crystal Core, stowing it in her waist pouch. Looking back at the Mutant Zombie, its skull was cracked open and it was dead beyond doubt.

She breathed a sigh of relief, glancing subconsciously at Fang Yuxin and Fang Yuyang.

Both were facing Mutant Zombies, Fang Yuxin encountered one with enhanced defense. Its skin, unlike that of other zombies, appeared metallic, and sharp blades could only leave shallow marks, not enough to breach its defenses.

Fang Yuyang, on the other hand, faced a Speed Mutant Zombie. To prevent harm to others, he could only entangle it with Wind Blades, finding it difficult to kill. (To be continued.
