124: Chapter 122 Harvest

Chapter 122 Harvest

Zombie Town was very close to several sheltered towns in the south, especially Outpost Camp, Scarecrow Town, Huangyan Town, and Bullet Town.

After the abnormal riot occurred, when zombies swarmed outward, these sheltered towns bore the brunt.

Wang Ting was naturally curious about what Jumu City would do when an intermediate anomaly swept along a swarm of rioting zombies and spread across the wasteland.

Although Captain Ding Li claimed that Jumu City would not covet the extraordinary pathway on Wang Ting, her words were well-founded, and Wang Ting believed this was her honest truth.

However, the secret on him was never this fictitious beast-control pathway.

No matter how others coveted things they could not see, it was all illusory, because they could not see or touch them, and naturally would not understand their power.

But when miraculous creations appeared one after another, things were not that simple; some of those items in the camp could be understood as extraordinary items, while others could not be simply made.

These were the root cause of being coveted.

Captain Ding Li shook her head, her tone restrained and calm: "If it were just intermediate anomaly monsters, a company with a Tier 2 Extraordinary would be dispatched to handle it. But during an anomaly outbreak like this, especially during an abnormal sandstorm, we would never send people out on missions. An abnormal sandstorm is much more terrifying than the abnormal riot of the Infinite Building, and we will not take that risk."

Wang Ting frowned slightly: "If you don't deal with these zombies, where do you get the materials for your painless potion?"

"There is more than one Infinite Building with zombie monsters. It's just that the Infinite Building here has a projection, but some Infinite Buildings have two to three floors, and the danger is no less than here at all."

A faint smile appeared on Captain Ding Li's face, not targeting Wang Ting, but simply stating her duties.

"The troops of Jumu City are divided into two branches: one is the Jumu Army responsible for guarding the inner city and suppressing our Infinite Building, and the other part is the Pioneer Army responsible for outer-layer defense. We are the most special part of the Pioneer Army, the Special Operations Squad. Every Special Operations Squad is a hunter team, and our duty is to search and determine the location of resource points in the Infinite Building across this wasteland. Whether it is a monster room or a resource floor, those that are inconvenient to establish strongholds and control are the locations we need to deal with."

"100km west of Baimu Town, there is an Infinite Building. Although no projection overflowed, there are three floors there, with monsters like zombies and Crawlers, except that it is not my squad in charge of that area."

Wang Ting was thoughtful. Just as Captain Ding Li said, there were actually many ownerless Infinite Buildings on this wasteland. Not every Infinite Building was suitable for establishing a stronghold, nor would every Infinite Building be successfully controlled by a Shelter or Shelter city.

The resources they continuously produced were not enough to support the establishment of a stronghold, and many sheltered towns or Shelter cities simply regarded them as threats and resource points that could be harvested and explored.

Zombie Town and Jungle Ruins were just two slightly special ones among them. But looking at the big picture, Infinite Buildings and projections similar to this were everywhere.

"Do you have a map of these Infinite Buildings in your hand? Give me one."

Wang Ting asked Captain Ding Li for it right away, and Zheng Xue on the side got a bit anxious upon hearing this.

"Wang Ting, our captain has already told you a lot of news, but this map cannot be easily leaked within the Pioneer Army. Don't make things difficult for our captain."

Zheng Xue glared at Wang Ting. Since Wang Ting didn't plan to join them, he shouldn't think about freeloading on their information.

Thud—

Captain Ding Li knocked Zheng Xue on the head. Zheng Xue let out an "ouch" and looked at Captain Ding Li resentfully: "Captain, my head hasn't healed yet."

"You still know your head isn't healed? If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have been able to walk out of Zombie Town so easily."

Without the slightest hesitation, Captain Ding Li rummaged through the box beside her, fished out an old map, and tossed it to Wang Ting.

"Take it and use it. The Infinite Buildings above all have marked points. However, some Infinite Buildings are classified, and I didn't mark them on it. The remaining Infinite Buildings are known by Shelters, and most of them are monster floors infested with monsters, with very few material floors and resource floors. Since you need monsters, these Infinite Buildings should be quite useful to you."

"Thanks."

Wang Ting said thank you. The three of them sat on the sandy ground and exchanged a lot of information, but more of it was actually Wang Ting asking and Captain Ding Li answering, including the general situation of Jumu City and the surrounding area.

From beginning to end, Captain Ding Li had no intention of continuing to explore Wang Ting's identity, and never even mentioned the mask he kept wearing.

If she were alone, she would be just as careful. For a lone wolf surviving in the desert, caution and fierceness were her strongest weapons.

"Your teammates are here."

As Wang Ting's voice fell, an off-road vehicle soon appeared in the distance. They were driving just as urgently, rushing toward their position in a flurry.

Wang Ting had astonishing eyesight and saw clearly that the driver was one of those firepower gunners.

Wang Ting stood up and said to the two of them: "Let's part ways here. I'll go to Jumu City to find you when I have time."

After saying this, his entire person was like a black night demon, moving swiftly. In a short time, he crossed the sand dune not far away and his figure disappeared into the Gobi Desert.

Watching the speed at which Wang Ting disappeared, a hint of solemnity grew in Captain Ding Li's eyes.

She had originally thought Wang Ting was like her, an Extraordinary around the peak of Tier 1, but his speed was already a notch faster than hers.

"While possessing beast-control abilities, he also possesses strong physical fitness. No wonder he is worried that this pathway will be coveted by others."

Zheng Xue asked perplexedly on the side: "Squad Leader, why didn't you persist in recruiting him? A third-rate sheltered town. No matter how powerful, a Tier 1 Extraordinary is the limit. Without the pathway of Tier 2 potions, the risk of fusing the Extraordinary Core rises infinitely, and it is impossible for him to succeed."

"He isn't even afraid of intermediate anomalies, so how could he easily bow his head? Let's befriend him first; there will always be a chance to meet again. We must rest and recuperate well upon returning this time, and the Tier 1 potions for several of you should be put on the agenda right on time. Help me manage a squad then."

"Guaranteed to complete the mission."

"Captain, you're fine, that's great!"

The car braked and stopped in front of the two, and the team members on it filed out. The injured team member didn't get off; the injury had been preliminarily controlled, but because it affected the wound, he could only show Captain Ding Li a smile uglier than crying.

Captain Ding Li quickly scanned her teammates and found no casualties, which eased her mind a bit.

"Pack up our things and let's go back immediately. There is an abnormal riot in Zombie Town, and a trend of potential abnormal sandstorms has been discovered. At present, the range affected by this abnormal sandstorm cannot be determined. If the scale is very large, we will also be very passive."

Although there was only one off-road vehicle, by squeezing in and some clinging to the roof, they could still transport everyone back.

Everyone got into the car, and with a roar of the off-road vehicle's accelerator, it drove away.

Captain Ding Li looked back in the direction where Wang Ting disappeared, pondering in her heart with a hint of fighting spirit: "When I become a Tier 2 Blood Warrior, let's see if you are willing to join my command next time we meet."

Captain Ding Li had always been competitive. Even among the Special Operations Squads of the Pioneer Army, she was one of a kind.

From injection to development to the peak of the Painless Pathway, she had achieved this level in just a year or two. The scars left by battles almost covered her whole body; if not for the slight healing ability of the painless potion, these scars would probably look uglier than centipedes.

It was precisely because she was so competitive that she was naturally full of curiosity upon seeing a powerful opponent like Wang Ting.

She was the squad leader of the Special Operations Squad and was about to be promoted. She needed capable generals under her command, and if she had such a person to help her, she would naturally stand more firmly in Jumu City.

Wang Ting crossed the sand dune, spread his bat wings, and headed straight for Outpost Camp.

"This woman still wants to recruit me? She certainly has quite a bit of ambition."

"However, as she said, if Jumu City's coveting of pathways is not that serious, my plan seems to be much safer. As for those creations, I still need to find an excuse to cover them up."

Wang Ting naturally had his own confidence in his heart. He just glanced at his monster points, and the smile on the corner of his mouth could no longer be concealed.
