Chapter 50: Gathering Materials, First Mission
As for the guns, due to lack of funds, Zhang Ran did not replace them for the time being.
However, although the AM41 automatic rifle in Zhang Ran's hand is a firearm of the old era, its power and stability are good, enough to kill mutant creatures of level 1-3, and it is enough for the time being.
After purchasing the equipment, Zhang Ran came to the material area again and bought a new batch of high-energy food and medicine.
After advancing to an evolutionary, Zhang Ran's physical fitness has improved significantly, and in order to maintain a stronger body, he also needs more food, in the past, the high-energy food that Zhang Ran bought was configured for ordinary people, and for evolutionaries, he needed to eat several tubes to fill his stomach, so Zhang Ran also bought high-energy food specially configured for evolutionaries, and the same is true for medicines.
In the material area, Zhang Ran also saw the level 1 gene enhancement potion and the level 2 gene enhancement potion, the price of a bottle of level 1 gene enhancement potion was 10,000 Black Eagle Coins, and the price of a bottle of Level 2 elite enhancement elixir was 100,000 Black Eagle Coins, which was ten times over.
Such a price is indeed very high, but considering that a bottle of Tier 2 Genetic Enhancement Elixir can give a Tier 1 Evolutionary Gain 1 Evolution Point, and provide a large amount of Evolution Energy for Tier 2 and Tier 3 Evolutionaries, such a price is not to be blamed.
After purchasing equipment and supplies, the Black Eagle Coin in Zhang Ran's hand also came to about 5,000, and he also bought a map near the Black Eagle Company, and according to the information of the map, he created a three-dimensional simulation map in the chip.
In the center of the Black Eagle Company's sphere of influence, it is naturally Black Eagle City, with a radius of about five kilometers, in this area, there are signs of a certain civilization, almost all mutant beasts have been eliminated, and the radiation in the environment has also been reduced to a very low level.
Not only that, there is also a power plant in Black Hawk City, which can provide electricity to the residents of Black Hawk City, although it is very expensive and only advanced evolutionaries are willing to use it, but this has made progress over the generations with the gathering place above the wilderness.
And within the circular area with Black Eagle City as the center and a diameter of fifty kilometers, it belongs to the safe zone. In the safe zone, the radiation in the environment has been reduced to the point where ordinary people can survive, and once a level 1 or above mutant beast appears, it will also be cleaned up by the Black Hawk Company.
Within the scope of the security zone, there are many gathering places under the Black Eagle Company, and the original owner of Zhang Ran's body is from one of them. These settlements provide the Black Hawk Company with human beings with the potential to evolve, and also provide the Black Hawk Company with food, medicinal materials, minerals and other resources in exchange for the protection of the Black Hawk Corporation.
Outside of the security zone, there are ten of the Black Hawk Corporation's forward bases, ranging from one to ten, which are either old-time shelters or buildings built by the Black Hawk Corporation itself.
The purpose of these forward bases is twofold: to prevent mutant beasts from entering the safe zone, and to provide a center for rest and supply for evolutionaries who go deep into the wilderness, and at the same time, for the No. 1 forward base where Zhang Ran stayed before, it was transformed from an old refuge, and it also took on an additional function - to provide a place for those who would be evolutionaries to experience.
Beyond the forward base lies the boundless, dangerous wilderness.
In the area of ten kilometers near the forward base, because of the cleaning of evolutionaries, mutant creatures of level 1 and above are relatively rare, and it is also an area where quasi-evolutionaries have trained, and once they leave this area, the danger level increases significantly, and there are a large number of mutated creatures of level 1 and above.
In addition, Zhang Ran also clearly knew from the map that the Black Eagle Company was only a small force in the wilderness, and there were many forces close to the Black Eagle Company in the vicinity of the Black Eagle Company.
Like the Black Hawk Company, these forces all have hunter-level powerhouses in charge, ruling an area of dozens of kilometers, and there are four forces closest to the Black Hawk Company: Jean Mercenary Alliance, Terra City, Cardan Society, and Pano Family Leader.
And all these small forces are attached to a force called "Ancient Desert City", every year the Black Eagle Company needs to pay a lot of precious materials to Ancient Desert City, and Ancient Desert City will also sell some high-grade genetic enhancement potions and other materials accordingly, and provide support when there are mutant beasts that are difficult to resist.
Of course, according to the markings on the map, the distance between Ancient Desert City and the headquarters of the Black Eagle Company is 500 kilometers, and even if several mutants above level 6 form a team, they may not be able to cross the dangerous wilderness and reach Ancient Desert City, so Zhang Ran temporarily dispelled the idea of going to see Ancient Desert City.
After learning the information near the Black Eagle Company, Zhang Ran also had a deeper understanding of his positioning, and then Zhang Ran also came to the guild hall again, ready to accept his first task.
Coming to the mission area of the guild hall, Zhang Ran also went straight to the one-star mission area and asked the staff for a task book.

Sweeping through one task after another, Zhang Ran also shook his head slightly, the targets of these tasks are basically mutant creatures above level 2, unless they join other teams, it is difficult to complete with Zhang Ran's own strength.
After flipping through the nearly ten pages of the task book, Zhang Ran's eyes finally lit up and he found a task that suited him.

"Yes, there are no enemies above level 2 in this mission, although there are 6 level 1 walking corpses, but with B-level abilities and guns, I can still deal with it, that's it!"
While thinking so, Zhang Ran also came to the front desk, thinking about the staff in front of the counter and said, "Hello, I want to accept this task of exterminating the lair of the walking dead." ”
"Okay, please take out your token and I'll help you register. ”
Hearing Zhang Ran's words, the staff member also smiled quietly, and then said softly.
