87 _ 87083 The newly established Alliance made arrangements according to the current strength of the survivors and set up several "frontlines". With the cooperation of the neighboring large, medium, and small bases, they would clear out the zombies outside the base in order to expand the scale of the human base.
This idea was initially met with a lot of opposition. Many people felt that with their current strength, it would be difficult to defend the current base and provide for the survival of the people, not to mention expanding out to clear out the zombies.
However, many people who were labeled as "farsighted" by the game officials suggested that if they didn't do this, humanity would never be able to walk out of the apocalypse. Humanity's chances of survival would gradually be nibbled away and they would finally walk towards extinction.
The various missions in the game would talk about this period of history. Therefore, even without listening to the others, Zhang Zhiyin could understand most of it. However, he didn't expect that he would one day participate in this "legendary history".
According to the rules, each base of different sizes had to send a corresponding number of ability users to participate in the clearing work at the frontlines.
The frontlines were extremely dangerous and unpredictable. Although the benefits were better, no one was willing to go.
The leader still bore a grudge against Zhang Zhiyin for forcing Wang Feng to leave. He immediately decided to send the fourth and third teams to the frontlines.
However, for some unknown reason, You Kun and Wang Feng didn't immediately find a new base to stay in after leaving Hope Base. On the third night after they left Hope Base, You Kun woke up from a dream and suddenly discovered that his ability had disappeared. The thing he was most afraid of had finally happened. He was shocked and his first reaction was to pull out his hidden weapon and stab the chest of the person beside him. At the same time, a sharp blade pierced through his own chest.
That day in the spiritual space, it only magnified the suspicions they had towards each other that had long been rooted in their hearts.
Zhang Zhiyin and the others didn't have much resentment towards this decision. Their team had the lowest qualifications and seemed to have the lowest value, so it was normal for them to be sent. Soon, they set off.
The areas they were in charge of were called the "Seven Silver Battlefronts". Each battlefront still existed in the game and was a dungeon for players to farm monsters and level up. The monsters inside were all passive attacks. They respawned quickly and dropped little. Every area had a boss that would respawn once every half an hour. It was completely like a game and was very different from the place Zhang Zhiyin was currently at.
They were now at the edge of the safe zone delineated by several bases. The density of zombies was relatively low, and the periphery of this zone was the place they needed to conquer. It was a large number of deserted cities that humans had escaped from.
The person in charge of the seven Silver Stations was sent by the Yuntian Base, a metahuman who had just risen to Rank 6. He still had three people in charge. Among them, Manager Zhang Zhiyin's surname was Mi, and he was a Rank 5 Water Ability User. Zhang Zhiyin was about to break through to Level 5. If she had the Doomsday Redemption set, she would be close to Level 6.
However, they soon discovered that this person in charge of Mi's conduct was improper. He often embezzled the crystal cores and other materials that were supposed to be distributed to the combat squads. He was in charge of three teams, including Zhang Zhiyin's team. One of the team leaders was dissatisfied and argued with him twice, so he purposely assigned him to the most dangerous job.
Zhang Zhiyin was now part of the second team. He still had the same expressionless face as Yin Nian, and no one could tell what he was thinking. The three teams also looked very dissatisfied, but they didn't vent their frustrations.
After working here for more than ten days, Zhang Zhiyin once again returned to the real world.
In the game, he complained to Yin Nian about the problems he encountered at work and in tomorrow's world. Naturally, he also complained about the person in charge.
In the end, he typed: "Y, I don't want to go to that world anymore. The time there is too long. I won't be able to see you every day."
"I miss you so much."
He completely forgot the last time he said he missed him, and in the end, he appeared in front of him without any disguise.
The person in charge of Mi was removed from his position. The reason was that someone reported him. It turned out that the leader of the third team knew the leader of one of the combat squads in the Yuntian Alliance. He reported the person in charge of Mi's embezzlement.
The 12 new core combat squads of the Yuntian Alliance were very powerful, and they were all elites among elites. Their leader's position was naturally higher than a frontline person in charge.
After hearing about this, Zhang Zhiyin subconsciously thought of a person, Li Shuifeng. In the game, he was the leader of the Cloud Mist Squad, but he didn't know if he had already become the leader.
The new person in charge's surname was Shang, and he introduced himself as Shang Si. He was a Level 5 Lightning ability user. He looked very young, less than 30 years old. He looked like a passerby, but he had a good figure. Not only was he tall, but he was also well-proportioned. It was said that he had just joined the Yuntian Alliance. Because his level was relatively high and his combat strength was strong, he was sent here because the 7 Silver Grade Battle Stations were lacking people.
He looked gloomy and difficult to deal with. He was a man of few words, and no matter what others said, he would respond with an "En".
Moreover, he didn't have a good temper.
It was said that the other person in charge saw that he was new and had no background, so he purposely tried to show off in front of him. In the end, this comrade Shang Si blasted him with a thunderball without saying a word.
That person in charge was so angry that he couldn't breathe. It was only after the overall person in charge intervened that he calmed down.
From start to finish, that person didn't say a word.
However, Zhang Zhiyin didn't pay too much attention to the new person in charge. Recently, he was planning something — to upgrade his equipment set. Now that the Silver Grade Battle Station was more dangerous, only strength was the most stable guarantee. Upgrading Apocalypse Redemption from level 1 to level 2 was relatively simple. Although it required a lot of materials, they were all common ones. Zhang Zhiyin put up a purchase order in his fair price shop in the Exchange. The price he offered wasn't high, but within a week, he had collected all of them.
However, upgrading from level 2 to level 3 required a special set of materials called the Five Elements Dubhe Stone. It was divided into five types: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth. The drop rates of these five types were also different. Flint and Earth Stone had a higher drop rate in the game and were relatively cheaper. Zhang Zhiyin had already collected all of them. Metal Stone and Earth Stone were relatively harder to obtain, but it wasn't impossible to buy them. Only Wood Stone was the rarest. It could only be dropped by the final boss of the Instance Dungeon. Moreover, the drop rate was extremely low, so it was basically priceless. Zhang Zhiyin had once contacted a person who sold Wood Stone. That person asked for 1000 yuan and 800 yuan out of friendship. While Zhang Zhiyin was still hesitating and trying to bargain, the other party had already sold it for 900 yuan.
Most people who dared to smash Apocalypse Redemption Sets didn't care about money. Although Zhang Zhiyin also spent money to play the game, he was different from players who could play for a year with a 1000 yuan topping up.
Coincidentally, the Instance Dungeon that could drop Wood Stone was in the Silver Frontline. In the game, it was a normal Instance Dungeon at level 30, so it wasn't very difficult. Zhang Zhiyin had been plotting how he could kill that boss.
According to his observations, the drop rates of bosses and monsters that dropped rare items were much higher in this world. For example, when he had just arrived at Yulin Base, he had led his team to fight a spiritual-type zombie. It turned out that its arms were the rare material used to refine poison-type and spiritual-type high-level weapons, "Withered Glory Claws". Normally, the drop rate was extremely low in the game, but in this world, as long as he had the guts to close his eyes and saw off the two seemingly useless arms, he could sell them for money in his shop. In other words, as long as he found the right place and used the right method to pick them up, he would have a 100% drop rate. However, in this world, those bosses and monsters wouldn't respawn, so he only had one chance.
But soon, his chance came. His team and team three were sent to clear that Instance Dungeon together.
After defeating the last wood-type zombie boss, Zhang Zhiyin studied it for a long time before discovering that the wood and stone were hidden in its mouth.
Zhang Zhiyin looked at the sinister zombie face and hesitated for a long time. Sometimes, he was a shallow person who was easily limited by his appearance, otherwise, he wouldn't have fallen for Yin Nian so easily in the past.
In the end, his desire for the wood and stone won over the pressure in his heart. He summoned an ice blade and began to pry open the zombie's mouth.
Da Jin, who was resting on the side, saw this and walked over to ask: "Captain, what are you doing?"
Zhang Zhiyin: "… It's nothing, there's something in its mouth. It's some kind of medicine that's useful for treating my illness. I woke up early in the morning and went berserk, so I was poisoned with cold poison. I need to use that thing to suppress it. "
Da Dao was stunned, but he didn't question his words and only helped pry it open.
Zhang Zhiyin proudly thought to himself, although my mother named me Zhiyin, I watched Jin Gu and Wen Liang grow up, so it wasn't easy to come up with such a reason.
The three teams were resting on the side as they watched them pry open the zombie's mouth. They couldn't bear to watch.
Old Zhu, who also came over to help, sighed: "It feels like we're robbing a tomb. Digging something out of a zombie's mouth, sigh. "
The wood and stone that were dug out was quite beautiful after being washed clean with ice water. The round wood color emitted a soft light that wasn't dazzling. It didn't seem like a lie to say that it could suppress the so called "cold poison".
The three teams knew that this was a good thing, but they didn't know what it was and couldn't use it, so they suggested that they take more of the core crystals. Zhang Zhiyin and the others felt that this reason was reasonable, so they happily agreed.
However, just because the three teams didn't know what it was didn't mean that no one knew. The reason why the Five Elements Dubhe Stone was so popular in the game was because it could not only be used to upgrade the Doomsday Set, but it was also often used as a key material for alchemy, equipment forging, ability enhancement, and other activities. However, the people who upgraded the Doomsday Set were usually the most willing to pay, so the wood and stone were usually bought by this group of people. As a result, over time, everyone subconsciously felt that the Five Elements Dubhe Stone was the only way to upgrade the Doomsday Set.
There was another setting regarding the Five Elements Dubhe Stone. One of the stones could sense the existence of a stone that was compatible with its element. For example, the person who owned the stone would know where the wood and stone were. In the game, this setting was very useless. The player who obtained the stone could only right click on the stone and get a clue that said "In the Silver Battlefront [Abandoned City Entrance] Instance Dungeon Boss seems to be able to sense the aura of wood". Since this drop information was originally public in the game, this kind of "mutual sensing" setting was not at all useful.
However, it was different in tomorrow's world. The person who obtained the stone would really be able to sense the whereabouts of the wood and stone.
The person who obtained the stone was the battle team leader of the Yuntian Alliance who was related to the third team leader.
The third team leader had always treated him as a backer. Naturally, he would do his best to do what his backer asked him to do. When he heard the instruction, "Go find a wood-colored stone that looks very shiny near you," the third team leader immediately realized that this should be the stone that Zhang Zhiyin had obtained two days ago!
He somewhat regretted that he had so readily suggested that he take more of the core crystals and let the other party take the stone. ()
