76: Chapter 76 These two swords served as tokens of love

Xu Wanning reached out and patted her, "Go ahead, stay safe."

"Okay." Song Yunqing flashed her little canine teeth; this was great, there was work to do.

[The Great Leader: Now recruiting Fire Ability, Lightning Ability, and Wind Ability Users to work at the official power station. 500 points per person per day. Those interested, please sign up.]

When this message was posted, almost no one looked at it. Fire, Lightning, and Wind Abilities were all combat-type Supernatural abilities. Those who acquired such abilities would hardly be willing to be trapped in the Safe Zone.

Xu Yu suddenly slapped the table, "Hey, look everyone, the Mission Hall has been updated."

Xu Wanning quickly clicked on the Mission Hall page. The originally empty Mission Hall page now showed 2,500 missions, all of which were to clear zombies, and all were in the residential areas of District 1.

Public places like factories, schools, and hospitals had no people, so there wouldn't be any zombies, unless someone had snuck over there and mutated into a zombie.

The reward points were calculated based on the number of households; 7,000 households would yield 70,000 points, and 5,000 households would yield 50,000 points.

Based on the missions released for all residential areas in District 1, even if all teams accepted orders, there would still be some neighborhoods that couldn't be reached for the time being.

"Have you all seen it? Which one do you want to choose?" Xu Wanning scrolled through and finally stopped at Mission No. 324, in the residential area where Jiang Heng lived.

"Sister Ning, let's choose Mission No. 324. I remember Jiang Heng lives there." Zhou Ke turned the phone around to show her.

The others were still scrolling, but once they heard Zhou Ke, they stopped.

Xu Yu raised both hands in agreement, "Let's save him first, then go save the others. It seems several of Jiang Heng's brothers also live in the same neighborhood as him."

"Alright, then we'll take this mission." Xu Wanning directly clicked the 'Accept Order' button next to the mission. Once the mission was accepted, the button turned gray and could no longer be clicked.

Lu Chengyue leaned down close to Xu Wanning, "Ningning, do you know which residential areas the others live in?"

"Yes." Xu Wanning took out the notebook she had previously compiled and placed it on the table.

Lu Chengyue pointed to the one at the very top, the neighborhood where Su Chenyu lived, "Then we'll take the mission for this neighborhood."

"Okay." Xu Wanning nodded.

Lu Chengyue quickly flipped to the neighborhood page and clicked accept order.

The group quickly finished their meal and then prepared to set off.

Xu Wanning brought out the cold weapons she had previously bought from Grandpa Zhou, as well as the firearms Grandpa Zhou had acquired, "Choose the weapons that suit you, and each of you take a gun and a hundred rounds of ammunition."

"Wow!" Everyone quickly ran over, each grabbing a gun and the corresponding ammunition, plus their preferred cold weapon.

Xu Wanning handed Lu Chengyue a sword—the blue sword she had specially picked out for him, which formed a pair with her own gold sword, "Couple's swords. In my previous life, I used a sword, but in this life, I plan to use a bow and arrow."

She held a pure blue bow in her hand, which matched her Ice Ability perfectly. Once her ability leveled up, she could directly use her Ice Ability to condense arrows, so she wouldn't have to worry about running out of ammunition.

Xu Wanning looked up at Lu Chengyue, "A-Yue, which one do you want to use? We'll keep these two swords as tokens of love; you choose a weapon you want to use."

Lu Chengyue's ear tips turned red. He lowered his head and carefully touched the blue sword, then looked at the pile of weapons, "I'll go with the whip."

He picked up a whip covered in ridges and spikes. The whip was quite heavy, the body was very thick, and the spikes were sharp and keen.

"Old Lu, this whip is pretty good." Jiang Yishen walked over holding a red-tasseled spear, "I had my eye on it too, but I don't know how to use a whip, and I'm afraid I'll accidentally hurt our own people."

Lu Chengyue patted his back, "Forget about it. You can't even use a horsewhip properly."

He remembered a previous vacation when everyone went to the horse ranch to play; Jiang Yishen couldn't figure out how to crack the whip and almost got trampled to death by a horse.

Jiang Yishen scratched his head, "Hehe, hehe."

Lu Zhiyu was holding the Wanyue Bow. She hesitated for a moment before coming over, "Brother, aren't Police Captain Cheng Jingchuan and his team going out today? Why haven't I seen them come over?"

Lu Chengyue shook his head, "I don't know. Maybe they're resting. I'll ask." He took out his phone and sent a message to Police Captain Cheng Jingchuan, [Aren't we going out to do missions together?]

Police Captain Cheng Jingchuan replied, [No, we're resting today. We didn't sleep last night, and we still need to arrange things for the families of the team members who turned into zombies.]

[Okay.] Lu Chengyue looked up at Lu Zhiyu, "He said they're resting today and need to go comfort the families of the team members who turned into zombies."

Lu Zhiyu nodded, "Mm, got it."

She and Police Captain Cheng Jingchuan were currently in a flirtatious stage. She wasn't quite sure when it was appropriate to disturb him and when it wasn't, which was why she came to find her older brother. Now that she knew he was fine, she felt relieved.

"Let's go." Everyone grabbed their weapons and set off.

Lin Wanqiu and the others saw them all the way to the door, "Stay safe."

"If you can't win, just run."

"Don't try to be a hero."

Everyone looked back every few steps, promising they absolutely wouldn't be reckless.

Parked outside were two minibuses. These were the vehicles provided by the authorities for missions, all of which were large buses or minibuses.

Teams that drove their own cars could get reimbursed for gasoline after returning and submitting their missions.

Xu Wanning was different from them; she had lifetime free refueling, which benefited the whole team.

"Steward Zhang Song, please help me take good care of the family." Xu Wanning was worried and turned back to instruct the steward.

"Rest assured, unless I die, nothing will happen to them."

Steward Zhang Song patted his chest. As the steward, he couldn't go out with them; he had to stay at home to guard the rear.

Everyone boarded the vehicles one after another. Xu Wanning reached out to straighten Lu Chengyue's collar, "Stay safe."

"You too." Lu Chengyue held her shoulders and kissed her on the forehead.

The two were the last to board. The drivers were responsible for taking them to their destinations. These drivers were all veteran drivers who had previously driven buses, taxis, ride-shares, or delivered food, and could accurately find the route even without a map.

The vehicles started up. After driving for a while, one behind the other, they separated. At the moment they passed each other, Xu Wanning waved at Lu Chengyue.

Lu Chengyue waved back.

The others also waved, but the two of them didn't notice at all; they were both focused entirely on each other.

The residential area where Jiang Heng lived was considered an old neighborhood, with 57 six-story buildings and 6 eighteen-story buildings, all with two households per floor.

It added up to 8,000 households. Clearing it all would yield 80,000 points, which, when divided among 25 people, meant each person could get 3,200 points.

She glanced at the mall prices on her phone; the prices were almost the same as before The Apocalypse, meaning 1 point was equivalent to 1 yuan before The Apocalypse.

After accepting the mission, they were given a digital map of the neighborhood. Xu Wanning looked at it carefully and finally tapped on the location of Building 5, "When we arrive at Jiang Heng's neighborhood, we'll go clear Jiang Heng's Building 5 first."

Building 5 was not far from the entrance of the neighborhood. Out of personal bias, she would definitely go to save Jiang Heng first, and then go to clear the rest.

"Okay." Xu Yu and the others had no objections at all, "Sister, you're the team leader, we'll listen to you."

"Yeah, yeah, we'll listen to you." Wen Shuyang chimed in, "No one knows The Apocalypse better than you."

"Mm-hmm." Sounds of agreement rang out simultaneously.

The vehicle slowly stopped at the entrance of the neighborhood. The journey had been smooth and unobstructed—something one wouldn't have dared to imagine in the previous life, where you could be surrounded by zombies after just taking two steps.
