Chapter 45: Challenging Mission
87_87057 The matter was resolved so quickly, although Bai Qi was furious, he couldn't pursue anything more, after all, he was a newcomer.
Although the conflict ended quickly, it also provided Charlie with a lot of useful information, first of all, that the relationship between the five new arrivals was unusual and extremely united.
Secondly, Daniel's courting of this white is by no means as he thinks, it is a cover-up and perfunctory.
What surprised Charlie even more was that in just one day, this white seemed to have established a high reputation in Daniel's squad, not only completely replacing Anderson's position, but even surpassing it, otherwise the two Mexican drug dealers would not have been involved in the conflict, and even Daniel's henchmen, Garcia and Tom, were planning to be on his side, it seems that this white must have something amazing about it.
This inference made Charlie's attitude change a lot again, he reprimanded Christopher's behavior very harshly, and deprived him of the position of small leader, this sudden blow made Christopher stunned, and most people couldn't understand, even if the new Chinese gunman was really very good, but it would not make Charlie treat his henchmen like this.
Only Daniel, Li Wenchang and Bai Qi can understand Charlie's approach, and Austin seems to understand it.
Although most people can't understand Charlie's approach, this does not prevent everyone from understanding one thing, that is, these newcomers do not know what shit luck they have taken, and they have won the favor of all the leaders, and all four leaders have supported them.
Bai Qi understood that after this incident, the five of them could be regarded as having a firm foothold in this team of survivors, at least no one would openly bully them.
Daniel stopped Bai Qi, and planned to come forward in person and solve the problem strongly, which could not only prevent Bai Qi from killing people and causing trouble, but also show favor to Bai Qi.
Unexpectedly, the matter was resolved so quickly, so that he had no chance to intervene at all, which made Daniel's action to stop Bai Qi seem a little unkind, and he let go of Bai Qi's arm with some embarrassment.
However, Bai Qi didn't seem to care, he turned around and patted Daniel's arm, and said, "Thank you, boss, if you hadn't stopped me, I might have been in trouble just now." ā
After thanking Daniel, Bai Qi thanked George and Vincent.
The reason why George and Vincent would meddle in this matter thanklessly was to please Bai Qi, and they were naturally very happy to receive the reward, and they naturally blurted out some high-sounding words.
After dealing with the people of Daniel's team, Bai Qi gave Huang Mao and Qin Qing a look, turned around and went downstairs.
Returning to the room where everyone was resting the night before, Bai Qi told a few people what he had just heard in the meeting.
This news was like a basin of cold water poured on the heads of Qin Qing and the others, making everyone's mood that was a little excited just now because of gaining a firm foothold in the team suddenly cold.
Huang Mao looked at Bai Qi, then at Qin Qing, and saw that the two were just silent, so he couldn't help but urge: "Boss, Sister Qin, what do you pay attention to, but let's talk about it?" ā
Bai Qi was about to speak, when a mysterious electronic voice suddenly sounded in everyone's mind: "Soldier...... You have activated the challenge quest 'Hope', please choose whether to accept it or not! ā
"Challenge Mission 'Hope': Help this group of survivors reach Fox, a town founded by human survivors in a desert oasis in Utah."
"Note that the completion of this quest depends on the number of survivors who end up in Fox Town. Once you have completed this mission, your base mission "Survival" will be completed by default, and you can choose to return to the barracks at any time. ā
Bai Qi had planned to find a way to break away from the survivors after they arrived in the industrial zone with this team of survivors, but this task, especially the reminder that he could return immediately after completing this task, made him swallow back the words that came to his mouth.
Everyone couldn't help but look at each other.
After a long silence, Liu Yunxi suddenly spoke: "I think we still don't want to accept this task, we just need to follow these survivors to the industrial area, and then we can break away from them, with the ability of the five of us, it shouldn't be a problem to survive here for a hundred days." ā
As soon as Liu Yunxi's words fell, Qin Qing also said: "I think Yunxi is right, we can't take this task." ā
Listening to the words of the two, Bai Qi was a little puzzled, it stands to reason that for the three women, Liu Yunxi and Qin Qing, they should be eager to get out of this ghost place as soon as possible, why did they choose to stay?
He thought about it and understood what they meant.
Leaving behind the survivors, with Bai Qi's ability, it shouldn't be a problem to survive, but for the three women, it is difficult, follow the survivors to find that Fox Town, for the three women with weak survival ability, they can get shelter, but for Bai Qi, it puts him in uncontrollable danger. They said this in the hope that Bai Qi would not take unnecessary risks for their sake.
Bai Qi's gaze swept over the faces of Liu Yunxi and the others, Liu Yunxi looked at him with a little anxiety, she hoped that Bai Qi could promise her and not take unnecessary risks.
There was also anxiety in Feng Yan's eyes, but the meaning of that anxiety was completely different, she obviously didn't want Bai Qi to agree to Liu Yunxi's construction.
Huang Mao's eyes were full of confusion, and he obviously couldn't figure out what Liu Yunxi's Jian yƬ meant.
Qin Qing also had expectations in her eyes, but it was more of a kind of understanding, as smart as her, she had obviously expected Bai Qi's choice.
Bai Qi sighed in his heart, yes! Just for Liu Yunxi to be sent to death for him, Qin Qing can ignore his own safety for him, how can he be selfish and only plan for himself?
Bai Qi pondered for a moment and said: "According to Charlie, Fox Town is located in a desert oasis in Utah, which was originally a training camp for special forces. They searched for survivors farther away via radio waves and announced the location of the town via radio waves. ā
"There's only one way to get to Fox in Utah, and that's to get a plane. To hike through the Rocky Mountains, just think about the pack of mutant wolves and know it's absolutely impossible. ā
"There are two airports near San Francisco, one is San Francisco Airport located in the southern suburbs of San Francisco, and the other is Oakland International Airport on the other side of San Francisco Bay. Moreover, these infected people are very powerful after extremely fierce predation on each other and survival of the fittest. This danger is shared among everyone in this team of survivors, and it shouldn't be difficult if we just need to be careful. ā
"The second danger is hard to say, the only one in this team of survivors who knows how to fly a plane is Charlie, but he can only fly small planes, and the flight time is no more than a hundred hours, there are only large passenger planes in both airports, and they have not been overhauled and maintained for a year, whether Charlie can fly them to send us to Fox Town is really a matter of fate."
Hearing Bai Qi say this, Liu Yunxi thought that Bai Qi was more inclined to agree with her opinion, and her face showed joy. But then Bai Qi changed his words.
"But I think that since the mysterious gods can give me this mission, it should not be very likely that the plane will crash directly."
Bai Qi paused and said, "Next, I'll talk about the difficulties we will face if we are separated from this group of survivors. ā
"Although there are not too many infected people in the industrial area, there is a shortage of food, and the urban planning habits of Americans are completely different from our country, they will distinguish between industrial areas, residential areas, and commercial areas very clearly, in the United States, whether it is an industrial area or a residential area, there are very few shops in the store, according to my research on the map, in that industrial area, there are only seven gas stations with supermarkets, and these seven gas stations, we have visited five of them, that is, in the entire industrial area, There isn't much food left. ā
"So if we were separated from this group of survivors, it would mean that we would have to go into the city in search of food, and I think you should not have forgotten the experience of our intrusion into the city yesterday, if it wasn't for Li Wenchang's response, we probably wouldn't have been able to break through that block and come to this police station. If we break away from this group of survivors, maybe we will be able to survive a hundred days, but I can't guarantee that each of us will survive, especially Qin Qing and the three of you. ā
"So, no matter which path we choose, it's not going to be easy. Choose to stay, we will struggle to survive in the next eighty days or so, there will be casualties, choose to follow the survivors to find the small town of Fox, once and for all, or all the army will be destroyed. ā
After finishing speaking, Bai Qi paused for a moment, turned his head and asked Huang Mao, "What do you think we should choose?" ā
Huang Mao scratched his head, thought for a moment, and said: "I don't know which one is better, but if I had to choose, I would choose everyone to go on a plane adventure together, so as to get rid of the sea of suffering, and not to achieve everyone to die together." ā
Bai Qi nodded, and asked Feng Yan again, "What do you think?" ā
Feng Yan's eyes flickered away from Bai Qi's gaze, and said, "I think what Zhang Junqiang said makes sense." ā
Bai Qi smiled slightly, and said: "That's right, I also mean this, to die together, to be honest, this kind of day that stretches the nerves to the limit every day, I don't think we can really survive a hundred days, the more we go on, the more tired our body and mind are, the more difficult it will be, and the mutants hidden in the city are like time bombs, maybe when we will run into them, the last time I was able to kill that mutant, most of it was by luck, and next time we may not have such good luck, So I'd rather take a plane in the adventure zone. ā
After listening to Bai Qi's analysis, Liu Yunxi seemed to feel a little uncertain, and she turned her head to look at Qin Qing, wanting to see her opinion.
Qin Qing was not confused by Bai Qi's analysis, she knew that if she stayed, with Bai Qi's ability and perseverance, it should not be a problem to survive a hundred days, and with Huang Mao's thick nerves, she should also be able to survive a hundred days, but the three of them are not necessarily, at least Qin Qing thinks that if she survives for a hundred days in this environment where her nerves are tense to the point of rupture, she will go insane even if she does not completely collapse.
But she could also see that if Bai Qi chose to find Fox Town, Huang Mao would be the first to support him, and Feng Yan would ......
Thinking of Feng Yan, Qin Qing couldn't help but glance back at her, a hint of gloom flashed in her eyes, the so-called seeing people's hearts for a long time, this is not a reliable friend.
The selfish Feng Yan will definitely support Bai Qi, even if she and Liu Yunxi oppose it, it will be useless, but it will cause cracks in the team, so Qin Qing sighed in her heart, nodded, and said, "Then let's live and die together!" ā
Seeing that Qin Qing agreed, Liu Yunxi was no longer objecting, she believed that Qin Qing must have her reasons for making such a decision.
Bai Qi smiled slightly, stretched out his hand, Qin Qing put his hand on his, and soon the five hands were tightly clasped together.
With the decision, all five people chose to accept the task
