Chapter 11 Chapter 16 The Sealing Squad
"Firefly, are you awake?"
In the early morning, when the stars in the sky of Zero Zero had just changed from dark blue to bright yellow, the insect fireflies wrapped in the quilt slowly opened their eyes.
At this time, there was already a slight fragrance wafting in the interior of the room, and Zhang Chen processed some of the food that Worm Firefly bought yesterday a little, and regarded it as breakfast for the two of them today.
"Brother Zhang Chen, your body is already well!"
Insect Firefly noticed that Zhang Chen at this moment was no longer as weak as yesterday, and although his body was suppressed, it no longer affected his actions.
"When you're done eating, we'll pick up a few quests to learn about the environment in Zero and earn some coins at the same time."
"Yes." After quickly washing up, Worm Hotar stuffed things into her stomach in a big gulp, afraid that Zhang Chen would wait too long for her.
"Firefly, don't swallow, it's still early, don't worry."
"Yes."
Worm Firefly's attachment to Zhang Chen has been greatly enhanced after ingesting the rotten water of the soul, even if she is now scrupling about Wang Yizhi as Zhang Chen's official wife, Worm Firefly still did not bury the feelings in her heart.
When the two walked on the street, Worm Firefly directly held Zhang Chen's arm, like lovers. However, the fresh and unworldly appearance of the insect firefly is incompatible with the environment here, and many people on the street will cast strange eyes.
Through the information recorded in the sergeant's card, the two of them arrived at the task pick-up point where the most people gathered in the early morning of each day.
It is somewhat similar to the 'Yelou' in the Hanging City of Huaxia Kingdom, but the zoning here is not the same as the rules of Yelou - the difficulty increases with the different floors. Here, the tasks are divided into simple categories.
The quadrangular building in front of it is divided into four areas, namely the 'Material Mining Zone', the 'Exploration Zone', the 'Threat Removal Zone', and the 'Special Zone'.
The missions issued by these four wards serve as the core driver, maintaining the stability of the entire prison community.
Material mining is naturally the most basic piece of work. It is also a relatively safe and necessary work task.
Because of the safety and large scale, there are very few merit points that can be obtained, and most of the prisoners come here to participate in the task of material mining, and spend years in the zero room with difficulty and hard work.
However, the other three areas have their own levels of difficulty.
Among them, the exploration area, as the name suggests, requires the task taker to go to the unexplored area not far from the prison boundary to verify two things.
The first is 'security'. According to the local environmental conditions, biological species and unknown changes, it is divided into 1-5 stars.
The second 'effective utilization' is to use the detector to conduct a detailed inspection of the local mineral conditions, vegetation and trees, and judge the effectiveness of the resources that can be supplied to the prison boundary for mining and the rarity of the resources, which are still divided by 1-5 stars.
There are no pre-set merit points and coin rewards for this type of quest, but rather based on the eventual situation, if the local area is safe and there are rare resources that can be mined for a long time. Quest completionists will receive a large number of rewards, and will directly become a sergeant or higher, and there will be no shortage of coins.
However, if it is not of any use, the person who completes the task will only receive a small reward.
Therefore, many prison envoys who have lived in the lower echelons for a long time will have such dreams of making a fortune and go to take on such tasks, but the final result is that they will never return. There are too many unknowns, such as throwing an ordinary person into the center of the rainforest, and I am afraid that his bones will be lost in a day.
However, as for the third category of 'threat clearance zones'. This place has a relative threshold and is not accessible to ordinary prison guards.
First of all, it needs to be taken in the form of a squad and the team members are all in the rank of prison officer, and secondly, there needs to be a character with the rank of 'sergeant' or higher in the team. Based on the above two points. However, for Zhang Chen and Worm Firefly, it seems that they have to join someone else's team.
The 'Threat Clearance Mission' is a major core of maintaining the stability of the prison community.
The creatures that exist in other realms or in the area around the Prison Realm are haunted by this place, and the Prison Envoy is the intruder, which is the judgment of the Zero Consciousness, and no matter what creatures are, they feel repulsed by outsiders who invade their home.
Therefore, the Prison Realm is often attacked by various creatures in the surrounding area, and even some small and medium-sized realms will disguise themselves as Prison Envoys to infiltrate some surrounding Prison Envoy mining points to slaughter.
Whether it's an attack on a mining site or the Prison itself. This kind of thing happens all the time.
Therefore, the threat clear mission is the main means to earn merit points and quickly increase one's rank, and the completion of each task will earn a large number of merit points. After returning to the human world, they will also receive special treatment for a lifetime, so the number of squads that carry out missions is also large.
As for the last 'special zone'
There are a series of troublesome tasks that cannot be classified, and there is no relevant mention of what is stored in the information stored in the sergeant card in Zhang Chen's hand, but the threshold of the 'special zone' is extremely terrifying, and it can only be involved if you need the rank of 'captain' or above.
"Firefly, let's go to the Discovery Zone and see if there are any suitable missions to earn Merit Points."
Although the two of them were first-class prison directors, no one would stop to say hello here, but they looked at each other coldly because they were wearing clean clothes and delicate skin without scars.
As the two of them walked into the building where the Discovery Zone was located, it was empty, not even a single staff member.
However, Zhang Chen soon noticed that the notice information on the bulletin board on the side of the door was "currently no suitable place to explore." ’
"The Prison Realm has also existed for a long time in Zero, and the area that should be explored was also explored in the early stages, so no mission is inevitable. However, for some areas known to be extremely dangerous, such as the white desert we just came to, it is estimated that the mission will be in the 'Threat Zone' or 'Special Zone'. ”
"Brother Zhang Chen, what should we do then?" Worm asked from the side.
"What else can we do, go to the 'Threat Zone' and see, we can't go to work as miners and coolies, try to join a new squad and follow them to complete the mission."
"Yes."
When the two of them walked to the huge building at the back, there was a slight feeling of human noise inside.
Zhang Chen saw at a glance that there were at least five squads here, and judging from everyone's actions, three of them were here to take over the mission, while the other two squads seemed to be here to see if there were potential newcomers to join because of the sacrifice of their teammates in the last mission.
"Two first-class prisoners? I heard that there was a problem with yesterday's teleportation, which left this group in the White Death Desert, and it is a hundred kilometers away from the Prison Realm. But half of the people who came back all the way back survived, so the potential of this group of people may be very good. ”
When Zhang Chen and Worm Ying walked in, many people in the task reception hall turned their eyes to look over.
At this time, a tall black first-class prison officer looked at Worm Firefly, and walked over with a hint of instinctive evil in his eyes, "My name is Nehe, the captain of the Mu God team, the military rank is lieutenant, our team's mission is extremely complete, are you interested in joining?" ”
Zhang Chen naturally read the evil meaning in the other party's eyes, and was about to refuse, when a crisp male voice came from the depths of the hall.
"Nidaihei, isn't your team full? The prison world is bad enough, you better not stir up trouble here. White-haired girl, there are exactly two empty seats in our team, I heard that you saved a lot of people's lives yesterday, and your strength should be very good, so join our Fengping team with your friends. ”
The person who spoke was a Chinese man in his thirties, who must have been at the bottom of Nehe's military rank and belonged to the second lieutenant. And the name of the squad is also based on their own name, and there is no other meaning.
However, when this man said this, the Nech felt that he had lost face, and turned to walk towards the man sitting in the corner, and as the two approached, the players on both sides also had a sense of tension.
"What I want, I never can't get."
The black Indian man left a word, and after taking the task, he took the team members to take a stand. It is not wise to have conflicts within the prison world, but when you get to the outside of the prison world, there is nothing to worry about.
"Brother Ping, why do you have to grudge with a ruthless person like Nehe for two newcomers, it's not worth it." Beside Feng Ping, a woman shrouded her body under her cloak whispered.
"The death of the wild boy and Gu Feng, I have nothing to do with this person Nehe, this guy is secretly hiding something, and I swear that I will find out the evidence of this person's internal and external cooperation. The other side is already somewhat aware of it, and it is only a matter of time before a hostile relationship is established. ”
The thirty-year-old Feng Ping said lightly, not caring about Nehe at all, and at the same time looked at Worm Ying and Zhang Chen.
"You two don't have to be restrained, they are both from Huaxia and have a bit of a relationship, but you are so young to reach this level, it is not a wise choice to come to this place. Anyway, would you like to join our squad? ”
Zhang Chen looked at the other three people standing beside Feng Ping, although they were from different countries, they had a lot of bonds inside, and everyone's temperament was good.
"Yes."
Zhang Chen agreed without hesitation, stepped forward to take the two lists, filled in the basic information with Worm Firefly, and then handed them over to each other.
"The abilities of the two are still very rare, but the spatial ability is a bit weak in the completely closed and suppressed environment of Zero, and the first-level prison master can perform a spatial migration of no more than ten meters at most. Are there any other outstanding capabilities? ”
"The physical ability is still relatively strong."
"Relatively strong...... Well, we look forward to your performance. From now on, the two of you will be members of our Sealing Squad. (To be continued.) )
