Chapter 25: Undercurrents

Outside the guest house......

The rain was still pouring down, and the blood on the ground had been washed away, leaving only countless corpses. Motionless in this heavy rain, it looked extremely sad.

A man in a black cloak was standing motionless next to Nikolaevich's body. He wears a black mask and can't make out his expression.

But the coercion he exudes shows his identity. It is not difficult to see that he has deliberately restrained his coercion, but the aura released has still reached level forty.

Rain trickled down his cloak.

He stood for a long time and muttered, "Sure enough, you still underestimate this seed...... It's a pity that he doesn't have any breath of life now......"

He quickly turned around, walked towards several corpses, stretched out his hand, and a stream of white light came out of his hand, enveloping the corpses in an instant.

"Not even the crystal nucleus is gone?!"

He hurried to the next corpse, but it was all the same: the crystal nuclei were all gone!

"How? Can you still take away all the crystal nuclei under the pursuit of the corpse tide? And without leaving a trace? ”

He looked at the corpses of all the zombies, but they all ended the same.

The man in black raised his head, looked at the sky, and said nothing. But an invisible pressure can be felt condensing.

The coercion suddenly dissipated, and he turned and walked into the ruins, before disappearing into the collapsed house.

……

in a black metal room.

The man in black stood in front of a delicate instrument that shone with a faint light of different colors.

Suddenly, a blue holographic projection appeared in front of him.

This is a man who is also wearing a black cloak and a black mask. The only difference is a red scratch on his mask.

"Chief...... Yunzhou's mission failed...... D-class seeds only capture 70% of the quest, and E-rank quests only capture 60% of the quest......"

The leader of the projection was silent for a while, and said lightly: "It's okay, you can make up for it next time!" ”

"Chief...... But the corpse you gave me will ...... Lost four ...... And they all lost their crystal nuclei...... Purple Shadow is also dead...... Zijin was seriously injured...... 70% of the corpses controlled by the [All-Seeing Eye] were also lost......," the man in black said in fear.

The leader on the other side of the screen seemed to be too shocked and actually trembled slightly.

"What's going on?" He questioned the man in black in a cold voice.

"The seed called Nikolayevich rushed out when it was almost there, more than 10,000 troops. More than a hundred of them are extremely powerful and well-equipped, which is also not the equipment of various countries. They are even slightly stronger than our soldiers. And all the crystal nuclei were taken away without leaving a trace. ”

"That's it?" The leader asked coldly.

"The trickiest thing is the remaining 10,000 or so of them. They are all awakened. And it seems to have the ability to be immortal and immortal, and it is completely fatal to fight. I've already killed them, but I'll be on the battlefield again after a while. But it seems that there is a limit to this ability, and the number of resurrections is between 1-25 times. And several other of our seed capture sites are also entangled in a large number of these undead. They support those seeds as if they were dying. It's quite possible that our presence has been discovered......"

"Another group of immortal awakened ones? What kind of ability is this......" the leader muttered. This has been mentioned in reports from other branches, but it doesn't seem to be as strong as the Man in Black describes, and he won't volunteer to help the "seeds".

"Chief...... And we can't find any information about them...... They're like ...... Out of thin air...... The two strongest of them, one with a strength close to D-class, is a woman. The other is an E-class being, but can reach D-class after an outbreak. And he seems to have another energy system...... And it is not known if they are undead or not. The man in black lowered his head and reported word by word.

"That's right...... It's kind of interesting...... You put these two on the seed list. At the same time, all the power is recovered, so let's withdraw first! The leader touched his chin and said with interest.

"But the chief...... Aren't we looking for revenge on them? The man in black looked up excitedly, then lowered it again.

"Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles. Find out where the undead came from. Then find out the details of this force. Then you can send their message...... We instigated a few big local forces to suppress them first, and in the end we directly destroyed them. Take advantage of the fisherman. ”

The man in black nodded heavily, and couldn't help but admire the leader's forbearance.

"What are the most powerful forces in Yunzhou?"

"It's a couple of large survivor bases. The number of people is more than 150,000. The largest one is the [Yunzhou Survivor Base]. There were 600,000 survivors, and seven divisions of regular troops were stationed. At the same time, there are 100,000 mercenaries. And the leader there is a true careerist. ”

"Just let him come! You can create an opportunity for this doom star to have a friendly contact with this Yunzhou! The leader laughed grimly.

……

The players' mission is accomplished. Two of the four Survivor Bases that were rescued were willing to join the Doom Survivor Base, while the other two Medium Bases were willing to ally Doom.

So Jin Ning gained an ally with a scale of 50,000 people and a 70,000 person. At the same time, a survivor base of 10,000 and a survivor base of 20,000 were merged.

One of the 10,000 survivor bases is located in a subway hub, which is easy to attack and difficult to defend. So Jin Ning decided to abandon it and move the population to another survivor base on the outskirts of the city.

"Looks like we're going to build a bunch of SCVs again...... It's too small now......"

Compared to the actual earth, this world is fifteen times the size of the earth, and the population is ten times that of the earth. Although the population is not one in ten due to wars and cataclysms, the base is still very large.

The previously built troops had not yet been produced, and Jin Ning had received another 200,000 crystal ore and 60,000 high-energy gas.

Jin Ning spent 15,000 crystal mines, raised the population limit to 5,000, and built another 200 SCVs. The rest of the money was left untouched.

"Let's expand our headquarters first! Let's renovate the branch! Jin Ning asked Freya to provide the drawings, and then sent the SCVs out to start construction.

Jin Ning plans to connect the valley where the headquarters is located with the valley next door, and build a survivor base that can accommodate up to 200,000 people. Because lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets. Therefore, Jin Ning does not plan to expand the residential area on the mountain or enclose the lake to create land. And in the future, it is likely to be dominated by agriculture, setting aside enough arable land to feed a million people.

The branch first has to clean up the surrounding rubble. Then take the headquarters as an example. Five layers of defense. The outermost perimeter fence encloses the registration area, some large entertainment venues and the military area. The second layer of the fence protects the commercial area inside. A third layer of enclosure protects the residential area inside. The fourth layer of the wall protects the most central administrative district. And there is a line of defense outside the outermost wall, and that is the pure battlefield that has been set aside.

The ring base is expected to accommodate up to 800,000 people. may replace the location of headquarters.

This huge project is enough for two hundred SCVs to drink a pot!

Because this support mission was completed, Jin Ning gained 8 points of prestige. It is already well-known in Yunzhou. And the names of [Savior] and [Doom Survivor Base] have also spread, attracting a large number of individual survivors and players.

Of course, as a regular unit, the [Yunzhou Survivor Base] is naturally famous, attracting a large number of players and survivors.

Now Doomstar has a total of 140,000 survivors and 70,000 players. It's already a big force.

The rain slowly subsided, and there was no large-scale zombie siege.

The cataclysm is nearing its end.

There are only a small number of zombies left, which makes the player's enthusiasm for monster hunting unprecedentedly high, and everyone wants to make a final wave of completion. As a result, a large number of people are willing to take a pay cut to serve as guards, guarding these 200 SCVs to work.

SCV couldn't help crying: sure enough, it's his own brother!

Everything seems to be moving in a good direction. But secretly there is an undercurrent.
