Apocalyptic life from scratch

Chapter 388 Ring the City
So when there are no awakened people around the city, their situation begins to go from bad to worse.In just over ten days, the originally prosperous city has declined rapidly.The tidy streets have become dirty and messy, the crime rate in the safe zone has risen sharply, and there are even some robber leaders, the gang bosses have directly become the overlord.

People in the whole city don't have any earning power, they can only survive on the city's livelihood, and of course it won't last long.In just over ten days, the death rate there has exceeded half, and the rest of the people are not having a good time. It can be said that the ring city is completely about to become a hell.

There are even ordinary people in the ring city who can't bear the corrupt life there, and go to the wild to find other cities, but unfortunately, with the power of ordinary people, they will only be eaten by monsters.

Therefore, the mission issued by the system is to mobilize the awakened people in Jincheng to rescue ordinary people around the city, and escort them back to Jincheng. Even if the mission is completed, this mission can be taken repeatedly, and there is no limit to how many people can be rescued each time.Anyway, the final settlement reward is calculated according to the total number of people escorted back.

"After releasing the mission yesterday, I have sent people to investigate around the city. I have a little understanding of the situation there. From Jincheng to the city, there is a former main road in the middle. There are relatively few monsters on this road. There is no problem at all for the awakened ones to pass, but the problem is that on the way back to escort the personnel, to protect the personnel from harm, the speed will be much slower.”

Su Meiqin pointed to a map, pondered for a moment, and said: "I roughly estimated that it would take about two hours for an awakened person to go from Jincheng to Huancheng at full speed, and after the escort, ordinary people Calculating with your feet, it will take about two days, including the time to sleep at night, so it will take at least three days to go back and forth. And the deadline for this task is one month, so... an awakened person can still at most Just run back and forth ten times."

"Ah."

Kong Zhe nodded, no matter how many times an awakened person can run, he only runs once anyway, as long as he can guarantee to complete the task once.

After leaving Su Meiqin's place, Kong Zhe went directly to Shuguang's headquarters. Now Shuguang no longer has a group of people nesting in that small courtyard as before, but moved into a spacious building.

This escort mission needs to be completed in a team, requiring a team of five, and many people are recruiting teammates at the gate of the newly opened Awakened Union.However, Kong Zhe didn't intend to find those people. If he wanted to complete the task, he would naturally find someone who knew the basics.

And Su Meiqin cannot leave Jincheng because she is acting as the city lord, and Hongling seems to have recently triggered an exclusive mission about illusionists. She has been busy doing missions these days, so naturally she has no time. Among the people he knew, besides Xiaolei and Lan, he planned to find two people to go with him in Shuguang.

Kong Zhe found Xiao Jing directly in a second-floor house, and after explaining the whole story to her, Xiao Jing decided to go with him after thinking about it.With a ranger around, they can discover the hidden monsters around faster and reduce the danger on the road.

After the team was decided, Kong Zhe went back to talk to Xiaolei and Lan, and the next morning, they met at the gate of the city one after another.The five of them set off for the ring city together.

On the way, from time to time, you can see other groups of awakened people, and these are also people who have accepted the mission in Jincheng.

In fact, Kong Zhe and his team were relatively slow, because there was a Lan in the team who was still at the first level, and everyone slowed down in order to take care of her.

Lan was quite embarrassed about this. In fact, she didn't want to come together because she was afraid of dragging everyone down, but Kong Zhe forced her to come.The purpose is to let her experience the battle of the awakened ones.

Although Lan, like Tuantuan, cannot be upgraded, the difference is that Tuantuan has no experience bars directly, while Lan has locked experience bars, so Kong Zhe feels that there should be other ways to unlock Lan's experience bars, so that She can upgrade by killing monsters like them.As for what it is, he doesn't know yet, so he can only try slowly.Try every conceivable method, he believes that it can always be solved, there is nothing impossible in the world of magic.

Several people ran all the way all morning, and at noon, they finally arrived at the legendary Huancheng.

The five of them walked into the protective shield around the city together, but just after entering, they all frowned involuntarily.

"Hey, it stinks!"

The smell in the air was very unpleasant, Xiao Jing covered her nose, stretched out her hand and fanned it, and said with a disgusted face.Although Xiaolei and Lan were not so direct, their expressions were not very good-looking.

As for the two big men, Kong Zhe and Zhuzi, they didn't care so much, and went directly to the inside of the base.In such a large safe zone, there is not even a gatekeeper, so one can imagine how bad the situation here is.As soon as they entered the safe zone, Kong Zhe and the others heard a burst of noisy voices coming from not far away. After turning a corner, they immediately saw a large group of people shouting at them.

Sure enough, as Kong Zhe expected, the safety zone is completely in chaos. Obviously, the news of the Jincheng Awakened Escort mission has spread.Of course, such a big news is too impossible to hide.

And this blow caused the safety zone to explode almost immediately.

Everyone is not stupid, everyone understands what this so-called escort mission means, and the fate of civilians will be in the hands of awakened people from other places.

Moreover, they have all heard that there is a reward for this task.So it stands to reason that most awakened people should be able to pick it up.

As for civilians, if they can follow a powerful awakener, they will naturally have a greater chance of surviving.

But before that, there is another question that has to be considered, that is, whether there are awakened people who are willing to choose themselves.

This question is actually very practical. You must know that one of the requirements of the mission is that the mission can only be completed if the survival rate of the escort reaches [-]%.In this way, the awakened will definitely give priority to those who have good physical strength and strong self-protection ability.

In fact, for most people, the common worry is not whether they can find a powerful awakened person, but whether there is an awakened person who agrees to take them with them.

It was noon at this time, and the sky was crowded with dark clouds, making the sky look much darker.

When Kong Zhe and the others came in, more than a dozen buses and six or seven tanks drove out from the west gate of the safety zone.Then there are some cars.

Around the tanks and cars, there are a large number of soldiers with guns following and guarding them, with a total number of thousands.

They ignored the others, and hurried to the gate to the west before it rained.

Kong Zhe guessed that these people should be the vanguard, used to open and lead the way.Now is the end of the world, and Kong Zhe and the others have seen the road outside when they came. It is covered with thick roots of various exotic plants. If there is no leading troops to open the way, then don't even think about evacuating.

It's just that Kong Zhe noticed that after leaving the west gate, these vehicles split into two, going north and south respectively.Now Kong Zhe couldn't help wondering, could it be that besides Jincheng, other cities also received this task?

Shaking his head, Kong Zhe no one directly ignored the chaotic crowd around him, and entered a residential area through a specially opened passage for awakeners.

This place was arranged by the staff of Jincheng in advance, and it is specially used for the rest of the awakened people who came here on the road.

When he arrived at the community, Kong Zhe noticed that there was a soldier at the gate of the community maintaining order.

A female soldier stood on top of a car, shouting with a magic megaphone.

"Citizens, please pay attention! Citizens, please don't panic. If you have a house, please go home immediately and pack your luggage and food. Then go to the registration office at the gate of the city to register. You can choose to go to Jincheng or Licheng, but Whether you can get it depends on your luck. The next batch of awakened people will leave at [-] o'clock in the afternoon. Please be prepared and obey the arrangement. Now the military's road vehicle has set off ahead of schedule to open the way ahead... Again, please do not Awakened citizens immediately register at the west gate of the safe area, waiting to be assigned to the awakened, of course, you can also contact the awakened escort by yourself..."

"Awakened people in Jincheng, if you have a rest, if you want to participate in the escort mission, please come to me first and do a simple registration."

"Listen well, everyone. Those who have weapons should bring weapons. Food and water at home must be brought with them, as well as clothes to keep out the cold. Our journey will take about three or four days... ..."

The community is in a mess. At this time, many people have started to form cliques, even the awakened ones. After all, although the system says that there are at most five people in one team, it didn't say that two teams can't do it together.Compared with one person, the coordination of abilities between different teams and awakened people is more conducive to survival.At this time, especially healing professions such as priests and spiritual masters became popular.

After Kong Zhe and the others entered the community, a group of people immediately surrounded them.The equipment of the few of them looks like the kind of high-level awakener. Even Lan, although she is only level [-], Kong Zhe gave her the best equipment without hesitation, and the purple light in Xiaolei's hand The staff also shows her profession as a priest.So as soon as a few people came in, a bunch of people immediately surrounded them.Some are awakened people who want to recruit them, and more are ordinary people begging them to bring themselves.

In this regard, Kong Zhe directly declined everyone's request and went straight to the upstairs lounge.
