231: Chapter 231 No time limit? Then there's no rush!

On the plaza of the abandoned theater.

The blood-red baleful aura gathered toward the city center, and the thick white fog that had shrouded the city finally dissipated completely.

Dim, yellowish sunlight pierced through the haze and spilled onto the dilapidated streets.

Just at this moment.

In the sky, accompanied by a loud notification sound, rows of huge blood-red subtitles appeared out of thin air.

"Ding! The core area of the Mist City has opened!"

"All survivors may participate in the raid of the core area!"

"The rewards for clearing the core area are as follows:"

"Mythical-grade random treasure chest x1!"

"Legendary-grade blueprint treasure chest x3!"

"Epic-grade resource treasure chest x1!"

"Mission duration: Unlimited."

...

When these few lines of blood-red characters came into view.

The entire abandoned theater plaza fell into a dead silence that lasted for several seconds.

Immediately afterward, there was a chorus of gasps.

The 300,000-strong Red Wolf Army, including Lu Yuan, all had their eyes widen instantly, even glowing with a faint green light.

"Mythical-grade blueprints?!"

"And a full three legendary-grade treasure chests?!"

These rewards were so generous that it made one's scalp tingle!

"Holy crap! Brothers, am I not blind? Mythical-grade blueprints!"

"Good heavens! If we get these blueprints, won't our Red Wolf Guild be able to walk sideways across the entire Wasteland?!"

"What are we waiting for?! I can no longer suppress the boiling blood in my body!"

"Kill, kill, kill! Whoever dares to snatch our treasure chests, I'll dig up their ancestral graves!"

The communication channel of the Red Wolf Guild was flooded with fanatical roars.

The 300,000 players were all rubbing their hands in anticipation, their eyes bloodshot.

The posture was as if they wished they could sprout wings and fly to the city center right now.

...

Meanwhile.

Inside a secret base beneath the city.

The Black-robed Man sat in front of the surveillance screen, a cold and cruel smile finally appearing on his pale face.

Watching the Red Wolf Players on the screen, their eyes shining and excited to the point of madness, he nodded in satisfaction.

"Yes, that's the expression."

"Greed is humanity's greatest original sin."

"Although this group of bandits has some methods, they ultimately cannot escape the temptation of profit."

"Come on! Humans of the Red Wolf Guild!"

The Black-robed Man stood up abruptly, spread his arms like a god controlling life and death, and issued a fanatical declaration to the screen.

"Bring your greed, bring your stupidity!"

"Come to the core area!"

"I am waiting for you... in the city center!"

As long as these people dared to step into the city center, the ultimate trump cards he had prepared would definitely ensure they wouldn't return!

However.

The Black-robed Man had held this imposing pose for less than two seconds.

The next instant, his whole body froze in place abruptly.

The sneer on his face froze, and even began to twitch violently.

He saw in the surveillance footage.

The Red Wolf Army, which had originally been filled with righteous indignation and clamoring to rush to the city center...

...suddenly turned their vehicles around!

The massive force of 300,000 people had actually turned their backs directly toward the direction of the city center.

They split neatly into six large detachments.

And then...

They scattered and slipped into the surrounding ruined streets in a flash!

"Eh?!"

The Black-robed Man rubbed his eyes, leaning against the screen with a completely bewildered face.

"No, where are you going?!"

"You've got the wrong direction! The city center is to the east! East!"

"Come back! I'm waiting for you in the city center!"

...

In front of the abandoned theater.

The culprit behind the Red Wolf Army's sudden change of plans was the heavy motorcycle under Lin Zihao's feet.

"Beep! Beep! Beep-beep-beep!"

Crisp and urgent electronic notification sounds rang non-stop on the motorcycle.

Because of the complete disappearance of the fog, the previously blocked radar function restrictions were now completely lifted.

And now.

Lin Zihao's modified "Legendary-grade Resource Radar" finally ushered in a massive explosion!

On the screen, dense green dots flickered like stars.

They were almost filling the entire screen.

"My god..."

Lin Zihao looked at the radar panel, so excited that the cigarette in his hand was about to fall.

"Boss! We're rich! We've really struck it rich again this time!"

Lin Zihao pointed at the highlighted coordinates on the screen, his voice trembling.

"It turns out that the abandoned building we passed by earlier actually has its complete steel skeleton preserved inside!"

"And that ruin on the left, the radar shows a small rare metal vein ten meters underground!"

"The most outrageous thing is that abandoned gas station on the right!"

"There are actually over a hundred barrels of oil buried underneath!"

Hearing this report, Lu Yuan was also energized, his eyes bursting with the light of a hungry wolf.

Who would have thought!

This Mist City, which looked dilapidated and didn't even have a treasure chest, actually had its true wealth hidden in the shadows.

If it weren't for Lin Zihao's advanced radar.

Who could have imagined that this broken place was hiding so many recyclable basic resources!

As for the mythical treasure chest in the city center, its clearance time was: Unlimited!

No time limit? Then there's no rush!

With an entire city's worth of ready-made materials right in front of us, isn't that great?!

"Pass on my order!"

Lu Yuan made a decisive decision and waved his hand.

"Lin Zihao, synchronize the resource coordinates to the guild channel!"

"The 300,000-strong Red Wolf Army is to split up into groups and conduct a carpet-style search, unit by unit, by city block!"

"The Blade Group is responsible for leading the labor camp to the designated mining areas to mine!"

"Everyone, get moving!"

"Today, we will uproot this Mist City!"

Following Lu Yuan's order.

The Red Wolf Army scattered in a mighty force, transforming into the most terrifying demolition squad.

"Rumble!"

Hundreds of armored vehicles tied steel cables to a crumbling abandoned building and pulled it down with a crash.

Countless burly men rushed up, wielding cutters and welding torches, skillfully pulling out the steel skeletons inside and packing them up.

The players in the labor camp were also full of energy.

Wielding pickaxes, they dug huge pits in the ruins, continuously transporting ore and oil barrels out.

...

Inside the secret underground base.

The Black-robed Man stared dumbfounded at the surveillance screens covering the wall.

The entire Mist City had now turned into a bustling, massive construction site.

Dust flew, and machines roared.

The Red Wolf Guild members didn't even spare the manhole covers on the side of the road; they pried them all off and loaded them into their vehicles.

How is this survival?!

This is clearly coming to stock up on goods!

Watching the city of his heart's blood, which he had worked so hard to build, being dismantled into flat ground bit by bit at a visible speed.

The Black-robed Man's psychological defenses completely collapsed.

He grabbed his hair with both hands, knelt in front of the screen, and tears fell uncontrollably.

"Hey, no... don't tear down my houses!"

"Your goal is the mythical-grade reward in the city center!"

"I put all the best things there!"

"Let's face off in the middle lane!"

"Just come and fight me, damn it!"

"Wuwuwu..."

"I beg you, stop tearing it down, leave me some wall plaster..."

"I still need to recycle this dungeon; the next batch of players will still need to use it!!!"
