Chapter 61
Chapter 61: Qin Suliu Also Has to Go
【All survivors, please rest early to prepare for tomorrow’s Regional Mission.】
Then the system lifted the mute in the world channel.
Instantly, the world channel exploded with chatter.
“Damn, in the afternoon I thought I was hallucinating or something. Is it really a Regional Mission?”
“Hey, are you a comedian sent by the monkeys? How can your hallucinations last that long?”
“A task to gather building materials? That’s my specialty! Back in the day, when I worked on construction sites, my speed was unmatched. I was the top hand on the site.”
“Big Brother, are you sure? We can’t gather resources ourselves; only the laborers can!”
The world channel quickly erupted into a frenzy.
Lin Feng didn’t join the discussion. Instead, he pondered his own thoughts. Since this was a Regional Mission, it meant everyone in the region would be at a single construction site. With at least 200,000 people in the region, not counting the laborers each person had, just how large was this Zarg Steel Plant…?
Suddenly, someone reached out to Lin Feng.
【Zhang Han】: “Brother Lin Feng, when we enter the mission area, could you share your location? I want to find you. It would make gathering materials more secure.”
This Zhang Han was the one who gave Lin Feng the Tier 2 armor. He already humbled himself significantly by offering it voluntarily, despite being the second-ranked survivor.
Lin Feng hesitated at Zhang Han’s sudden deferential attitude.
“I will only share my initial location with you. Whether you can find me or not will be up to you.”
Zhang Han immediately expressed his gratitude.
【Zhang Han】: “Thank you, Brother Lin Feng. Just following you should yield good results. It’s always beneficial to have strong support.”
Lin Feng didn’t bother reading more messages. There were quite a few people wanting his help, not just Zhang Han, and he had no interest in assisting them all.
However, Zhang Han voluntarily offered him the Tier 2 evolver armor, which already put Lin Feng in his debt. Without that armor, dealing with the female Tier 4 zombie might have required significant sacrifices, including the deaths of his soldiers.
So, Lin Feng felt he owed Zhang Han at least this one favor.
“Hmm…” Qin Suliu wrapped her arms around Lin Feng’s shoulders and kissed his cheek.
At this moment, Qin Suliu was like a boneless mass, looking completely drained of energy.
Lin Feng immediately turned over.
“You little enchantress, watch how I deal with you…”
Qin Suliu let out a surprised cry, “Ah…”
The night flowed quietly, with countless zombies wandering outside the gates of the zombie tide.
Nighttime was always when zombies were most active, with all of them trying to find any living people in the town.
In the morning, after a hearty breakfast, all the soldiers stood upright, their bodies straight and firm.
“Today, we have another great battle. Fight valiantly, everyone!” Lin Feng’s encouragement was simple, without any embellishments, just straightforward motivation.
Yet, even with such simplicity, the soldiers’ spirits were instantly lifted, their morale soaring.
“For the Lord! Long live our Lord!” all the soldiers shouted in unison.
This momentum was enough to rival any special forces unit Lin Feng had known in his previous life.
Lin Feng nodded in satisfaction, pleased with the soldiers’ morale.
Meanwhile, Qin Suliu and the two nurses each carried a medical kit, dressed in practical women’s leather outfits for ease of movement.
The three of them could provide significant health recovery for the entire army, making them invaluable.
Each person also had at least two compressed field rations prepared by the cook.
Lin Feng spoke to the system in his mind, “Is there a way to increase Qin Suliu’s health or defense? I don’t feel comfortable sending her out like this.”
【The host can consume 5 white crystal stones to activate Hate Transfer, which allows the aggro of a fixed unit to be transferred to a designated unit. Note: The protected unit cannot attack zombies or obstruct their attacks, otherwise the Hate Transfer will be nullified.】
【Note: Hate Transfer can only be used on your own units and cannot be used on units with temporary command authority!】
Lin Feng was delighted. This essentially meant transferring aggro, which was perfect. As for attacking, that was out of the question since their role was purely as medics.
He initially didn’t want Qin Suliu to go, but she insisted. She felt safe being with Lin Feng, and no matter what happened, she wanted to face it together with him, even if it meant dying together.
Lin Feng had no choice but to agree, as the health recovery provided by Qin Suliu was crucial.
“Confirm transferring the aggro of the three medics to the steel flamethrower soldier, Da Niu.”
【Transfer successful, consuming 15 white crystal stones.】
At this moment, Da Niu was unaware that he had been assigned the aggro of three people. However, it didn’t matter much, as the steel flamethrower soldiers were already the primary damage absorbers on the front lines.
Suddenly, the gates of the zombie tide in front of Lin Feng began to open slowly.
But instead of the endless horde of zombies, there was now a dilapidated construction site.
【Attention all survivors! The gates of the zombie tide have opened, leading to the construction material collection area—Ruined City, where the highest-tier zombies are Tier 5! Please be cautious!】
【The mission will start in 5 minutes. Please prepare yourselves!】
【The mission will start in 5 minutes. Please prepare yourselves!】
【The mission will start in 5 minutes. Please prepare yourselves!】
With three notifications from the system, the gates of the zombie tide fully opened!
