An Minghui returned the things confiscated from Hao Jian and the others. Hao Jian said unexpectedly, "This is, do you believe we were not infected by the zombie virus?"
"We confiscated your belongings just to ensure that there are no dangerous items in it. Since you don't plan to stay here for a long time, we naturally don't need to do this again. But we still have to trouble you to stay in the quarantine observation area, or let others People have seen it, and it will undermine the binding force of the escort team rules."
Hao Jian suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, what other refuge bases are there in Jiang City?"
"The choice of the refuge base must be a relatively safe place. Because Jiangxin Island is surrounded by river water, even if there are zombies that can swim over, it is easy to clean up. Therefore, such as gymnasiums, schools, and conference centers with broad views and closed places, It can be used as a temporary shelter.”
"School? I don't think the schools in the countryside seem to be crowded."
"How can the countryside be the same as the city? Every household in the country has a single-family dwelling, while a single residential building in the city may have as many as seventy or eighty households. For some people whose home environment does not have preventive measures, they will be transferred to evacuation points. Go. The school buildings and playgrounds, plus the walls, are enough to accommodate people who have nowhere to go.”
"Then how can you guarantee your food?"
An Minghui was silent. Although there was a bumper harvest last month, there are very few farmers growing rice now, and the city's grain must be mainly purchased from other places. The food on the market was also robbed as early as when the people were panicking.
The country has a granary to store grain in case of emergency, but the granary is not here, and it needs manpower to help bring it back. And it takes a long journey to transport from the granary, which is not only time-consuming, but also accompanied by huge risks.
Besides, the current environment does not support farming. After this meal, who knows if the next meal can be eaten
However, it is impossible for them to tell the people about these things, and An Minghui wouldn't even tell Hao Jian, he just said, "The country has a solution anyway, don't worry about it."
Hao Jian didn't ask more, but said, "You just said that the conference center is also a refuge... Although Peng Mao said that there will be a new commercial center, it is still in the suburbs. It stands to reason that the zombies there will be more than the urban area. A lot less is right, but when we came over there just now, we found that there are a lot of zombies there."
An Minghui said: "In the past few days, people in the city have been panicking. Some people are hiding, while others are busy fleeing the city. So I think there should be no less zombies in the suburbs. As for the meeting There are also team members in the center, so don't worry."
Now that An Minghui said so, Hao Jian no longer bothered.
After she went back, An Minghui asked them to change the straw mats in the fence, cleaned them up, and brought them a piece of food. The door was not locked again.
"Oh, what did you guys talk about, why did it take so long?" Peng Mao asked.
Hao Jian ignored him, but said to Lian Runing: "The reason why we didn't hear about any shelters on the radio is also their arrangement, but what is certain is that the guards from all sides received the construction of a shelter. Therefore, there are such refuges in Nanfang City, even larger than here."
When Lian Runing heard it, she also understood what Hao Jian meant. Compared to her previous scrutiny to convince her family that she might still be alive, the official answer is more reassuring to her.
Although there is still no news of her family, she knows that there is a refuge point. Maybe her family has moved to the refuge point
Hao Jian didn't tell Lian Runing about the blockade of the city center.
The downtown area of Southern City is very large, and at least half of the three districts belong to the downtown area.
Lian Runing mentioned that her home is in a part of the city, and even the campus where her mother teaches and the campus of the Academy of Fine Arts of Nanhai University where her sister studies are both very close to the city center, so tell her, she will only let her more worried.
"Let's take a night's rest here, recharge our batteries, and leave tomorrow morning." Hao Jian added.
Lian Runing had no opinion, but Peng Mao hesitated.
Hao Jian could see what he was thinking: "You are from Jiang City, since you are already safe, there is no need to follow us. I will also ask Xin Ting tomorrow morning, her arm needs treatment, and following us will only continue to deteriorate. "
Peng Mao didn't speak, but Hao Jian took it as his acquiescence.
After eating, Hao Jian and Lian Runing were thinking about leaving tomorrow.
"Adjutant An said that another team of them would go out every morning to search and rescue trapped citizens. The zombies gathered nearby were cleaned up by them, so we can leave behind them tomorrow morning."
Lian Runing was a little disappointed, but also a little fortunate: although their team may have changed from four to two, at least no more people will have an accident because they accompany her back to Nanfang City.
Just as he was talking, a gun/sound suddenly sounded nearby, and the gun/sound didn't just ring, but one after another.
People who were familiar or unfamiliar with the gun/sound were startled, and many onlookers ran out of the tent. Everyone's expressions were apprehensive and scared, because the appearance of guns/sounds indicated that there were zombies nearby.
They are all survivors who escaped from the hands of zombies. For zombies, fear is buried in the bones.
Hao Jian saw a group of people coming down from the dam through the barbed wire, they were clearing the zombies on and behind the dam. Hao Jian guessed that the group of people who went out in the morning came back.
Sure enough, after a while, the door opened again, and several guards wearing uniforms came in with a few embarrassed people, who were locked in the fence next to Hao Jian and the others. The few guardsmen walked into a tent while undressing.
"Why are they taking off their clothes?" Peng Mao, who was familiar with the guard, asked him naturally.
"Check for trauma and disinfect."
Peng Mao stared: "Then why don't we check like this?"
"They have to go out on duty every day, how can they be the same as you? Besides, people who come from outside can't tell if they are infected with the zombie virus just by looking at the wound."
"What do you mean?" Peng Mao wondered, but Hao Jian understood.
The few newcomers beside him said: "You don't know? Sex can also spread the virus."
"Damn it, this is not mentioned in the movie!" Peng Mao was shocked.
"You believe in movies so much, why don't you live in movies?" The man rolled his eyes at him.
Hao Jian and Lian Runing didn't interrupt, only An Minghui hurried into the tent, and after a while, he came out again and went straight to Hao Jian: "Miss Hao, can we talk about it? ?"
Hao Jian went out and followed him to a place far away from the crowd. An Minghui frowned: "I'm not going to turn any more. You said before that there was something abnormal on the Civic Avenue?"
Hao Jian understood: "Is something wrong with the refuge point over there?"
An Minghui was silent, and seemed to be struggling with whether to tell her or not. After a while, he said: "The Jiang City Rescue and Refuge Work Command is located in the conference center, and the Civic Park opposite the conference center is also the largest refuge in Jiang City. ."
"Is there any special place in Civic Park that can be used as a refuge?"
"Although it's called a park, it's actually a place full of lakes. It has seven or eight islands in the center of the lake, and the area of each island in the center of the lake is almost the same size as here. Bridges connect each island, and Behind it is a large forest, which is good for setting the level.”
"It was captured by zombies?"
An Minghui shook his head: "Although our refuge point is not big, we still have relevant equipment to get in touch with the headquarters, but I don't know what happened, and we suddenly couldn't get in touch there, so I thought I ask you, do you still remember some details?"
"We just took a quick glance. Originally, we were going to leave Jiangshi from Citizen Avenue. It was because of the large number of zombies that were pouring out there, so we were forced to come here."
"Okay!" An Minghui sighed.
The system that had never appeared suddenly went online, and as soon as he spoke, it gave Hao Jian a shock: "Congratulations to the host for triggering the hidden mission - help An Minghui to go to the conference center to investigate!"
"What?" Hao Jian said subconsciously.
An Minghui, who was about to leave, heard the words and looked back at her: "What did you just say?"
Hao Jian pursed her lips, until the voice in her head stopped, and she reluctantly said, "Are you planning to send someone to the conference center to inquire about the news? Candidate... What do you think of me?"
An Minghui blinked, a little surprised that she changed her words temporarily, and she was still forced to look like this.
He said: "I do plan to send people there to inquire about the situation, but our daily tasks can't stop, so I plan to recruit some people from the people to be responsible for the daily work, and our team members will go to the conference center."
"I'm not very interested in searching for survivors every day."
"Searching for survivors is a sacred and daunting task."
"I don't despise this kind of work, on the contrary, I admire and respect you escort members who risked their lives to save people."
An Minghui looked at her strangely: "Then you and I have to be thankful that you didn't join the escort team, otherwise someone like you who doesn't obey orders will be a headache, and you won't have any good fruit to eat."
He changed the subject: "Aren't you going to leave tomorrow morning? Why are you suddenly so interested in there?"
"Understanding what happened there, you will be better prepared for prevention and response when you go to other places in the future, right?"
"You can follow along, but we don't lend our equipment, and our people won't necessarily take care of you when the time comes."
"I just want to hitch a ride, I won't bother you, and since I made such a decision, I have already put my life and death aside. If I die unfortunately, there is nothing to resent."
When the system notified Hao Jian to trigger the hidden task, Hao Jian was really caught off guard.
Since she accepted the system, it has only announced one main mission: to deliver love to Southern City.
The system mentioned that there are main quests, as well as side quests, daily quests and reward quests, but did not mention any hidden quests.
The system's voice didn't fluctuate, but with a hint of contempt: "It's all said to be a hidden mission, why would you mention it casually?"
"Isn't it possible, you didn't know there was this hidden mission, did you?"
"..." The system hummed, "The task is issued by the central system, of course this system doesn't know about it!"
Hao Jian said: "Then what is the key point to trigger this hidden mission? When I passed Citizen Avenue, this hidden mission was not triggered, indicating that the location is not the key to triggering the mission. Including the triggering of the main mission 1, it is not determined by the location. of… "
When the main quest 1 was issued, it was triggered because Lian Runing said she was going back to Nanfang City. And this hidden mission was triggered when An Minghui decided to inquire about the situation at the conference center.
Both missions have one thing in common...
"So, like side quests and reward quests, the key to triggering them is to find relevant characters when the right event occurs? The main quest is related to Lian Ruling, she is my love, so she is the key to triggering the main quest. This is normal. What about An Minghui? Is he another important person?"
The system has long known that Hao Jian's mind is flexible, so it's no surprise: "Please explore on your own."
"You didn't deny it, which means..." Hao Jian sneered, "You, or the central system behind you, can control the overall situation, at least everyone, it knows very well, and can even predict what role each character can play. ?"
The system, which failed to detect and analyze Hao Jian's previous sentence, concealed such an idea, chose to pretend to be dead.
After a long time, it said: "The host's problem is not within the understanding of the system, and the system does not have the relevant authority to obtain the answer."
Hao Jianming knew what it was hiding, but he didn't press it any further.
In fact, she didn't have to do the hidden task, and even if she didn't do it, there would be no punishment.
However, unlike the main quest 1, which only announced the quest, but did not announce the reward, this hidden quest offered a very considerable reward, which made Hao Jian have to agree.
"Hidden mission - help An Minghui go to the conference center to investigate! Completing the mission will reward you with 100 experience and 500 points."
The experience she can get in this mission is equal to her killing twenty zombies, and the points are fifty. Now her experience is 228 and her points are 279. Originally, her points returned to double digits. Her points came back only because of the more than 20 zombies she killed today.
Of course, points are not as important as experience to her. If she can complete the task and kill another thirty or forty zombies, she will soon be able to rise to level 3.
As the system says, the higher the level, the more permissions will be enabled. The closer they are to Nanfang City, the more threats they have, and the more means they need to save their lives.
She returned to the quarantine area and looked at Lian Ru Ning's inquiring eyes. She suddenly regretted that she had decided to do a hidden mission without discussing it with "Qing Yuan".
