Caught off guard, he turned on the power of the flames to the maximum, directly scorching the flesh on his hand.
"Try this strength again?" Liu Qing clenched his palms, and began to control the energy in his body.
After a while, a slightly blurred flame sprouted from his hand.
He tried again and was satisfied that the meat was not burnt.
With his newly mastered 'Thunder Light', he returned to the base, and began to pack all his things.
In the end, they packed them into a cloth bag, and went to the teahouse again, chatting with Wu Yue for an afternoon.
On November 28th, he woke up early, packed his bags, and came to the south gate of the base.
Compared with the previous environment, this building is much spacious and the equipment inside is more complete.
After putting down the luggage and setting up the room, Liu Qing came to the lobby on the first floor.
In addition to a work counter, there is also a list of receiving tasks and reading tasks.
He began to browse through these tasks.
"A-level task, hunt down the mutant tiger king in Dongting Mountain, the task value is 100, the number of people is not limited."
"C-level task, hunt two fourth-tier wild boars, the task value is 20, and the recommended number of people is 5."
"A+ task, capture a thousand kilograms of carp in Nianniao River five kilometers away, and kill the fourth-order carp king inside. The task value is 150."
In addition to hunting and obtaining resources, the missions announced here include collecting items in the ruins and protecting the transportation team. In addition, there are also missions to join special forces and wait for war mobilization.
"Because the number of planes is insufficient, um. So to use trucks to carry them, the team needs to have a second-level combat strength, that is, the strength to resist the tide of two hundred zombies."
Looking at it, Liu Qing gradually understood the contents on the list.
As a member of the Special Forces, everyone has mission values that must be completed every month.
Ordinary players, that is, the task value required by ordinary supplies is 50, which is enough for those players who have just joined.
As for Liu Qing, the top-tier supplier, the task value required each month is quite exaggerated. The first month is 200, the next month is 300, and there is an increase of at least 100 every month.
This is related to the transformation ability determined by the organization. In addition, each person's task value is linked to his title, and the higher the task value, the more rewards he can get.
"I still don't know what the task value can be exchanged for." After talking a little bit, Liu Qing quickly focused on the task.
"This seems to be good." Nearly a thousand missions covered a range of [-] kilometers near Base No. [-].
Including the continuous mountains, there are hundreds of hills.
Among them, the mission with the highest reward is to destroy a key point of the enemy, but Liu Qing feels that no one can do it so far.
The reason is that the above description is very clear. The enemy's base is located in the province five hundred miles away from here, and there are at least three mother virus hosts in it, as well as countless zombies. And the existence that the government does not know about.
Therefore, this seemingly 'biggest' task actually has no rank.
Even if it's just hunting a mother virus host, there is still a task value of 3000. With such a score, Liu Qing still feels that the Zombie King is underestimated.
"For ordinary third-tier zombies, ten points is one point of the mission value." Looking at the levels advertised above, Liu Qing found that it was the same as the system's settings.
"So, my dream of winning by quantity has come to naught." Continuously scanning the hierarchy, Liu Qing also learned some secrets obtained by the government.
"Wind, fire, water, earth and thunder, darkness and light", he nodded while watching, and suddenly let out a light sigh, "Hey, what is this?"
His eyes rested on a few black words in the task book, and Liu Qing murmured: "Executioner, my God, this name is a bit of a hit."
In addition to the four-level division corresponding to the class, there are also shapeshifting beasts that have the same meaning as shapeshifters. Liu Qing saw a new ranking.
"Zombies evolve to deform, and when they transform to perfection, they are called executioners." After reading it word by word, Liu Qing accepted this fact.
Except for shapeshifting beasts and executioners, the current technology is still under development, so the items that can be exchanged for mission values are still uncertain.
In the end, Liu Qing chose to accept four tasks and planned to complete them within a week.
One is a black bear in the shapeshifter stage, the task rewards 80 points, in the Wuyi Mountain in the northwest.
Liu Qing also intends to use this task as a transition for herself.
The second is to escort a transport team from the Eastern Province, where there are a lot of food supplies and some special food machines. Among the accompanying vehicles and personnel, there are several experts in this field. They can improve the No. [-] base. production.
This task is A+ level, mainly to a city 50 kilometers away, and Liu Qing is responsible for a part of the journey, about [-] kilometers, until the escort is completed.You will get one-tenth of the mission reward, which is [-] mission points.
The third is to return to Haicheng along the way, and then search for supplies in the ruins, including some documents left behind by the government building, and some cronies who are looking for important officials. Of course, according to the mission agency, ordinary survivors There is also a search, and there will be a reward if you find it, but there is no exact location, and by this time, there are no one in a million who can survive in Haicheng.
As for the fourth task, for Liu Qing, there is no time limit. This task is to kill a mother's virus host. The corpses of the zombie king were all transported back to the designated base.
This kind of treatment does not mean that human life is cheap, on the contrary, it is because of the huge lethality of the zombie kings and their extremely rare number.
According to estimates based on relevant data, among the population of nearly 30 million in Fuzhou, the number of maternal virus hosts is only [-] in total, and they are all concentrated in Shuohu City in Fuzhou.
After infiltrating the opponent's forces and networks, the government also came to the conclusion that each mother virus host has unique information.
If you have their corpses, it will be of great help to the human side.
"These four tasks add up, the first three have a lot of space, which is almost enough for my number of tasks this month." Because of the tight schedule, Liu Qing had to choose to go to Haicheng.
Because he still remembered that there was a special little zombie boy in the Plum Garden Holiday Hotel.
This is also one of the tasks of his system.
After confirming that the task was accepted, Liu Qing took a knife and walked out of the west gate at noon.
Walking along the route, he skipped over dense green mountains and forests. Half an hour later, Liu Qing saw a dark and steep mountain that looked like clothes.
"The information was obtained two days ago. According to the habits of bears, it should still be here." Looking around the environment, Liu Qing stepped up to Buyi Mountain.
Due to the coincidence of various factors, he completed this operation without any accident.
An hour later, he dragged a fat black bear that seemed to be nearly two meters long out of Buyi Mountain. Because large animals are territorial, he didn't encounter any other animals to obstruct him along the way.
After bringing the black bear's body back to the base, Liu Qing went to the food department to record the results and filled out the task value review form.
The next day, after waking up early in the morning, he began to prepare for the preparation of supplies.
With water, food, and a certain amount of emergency equipment, he started the task of protecting the resource team by himself while following a driver.
"Hello, my name is Zhang Jianzhong, and I am a driver at the base." After shaking hands with Liu Qing, the middle-aged Zhang Jianzhong got into the small military transport vehicle together.
When they first started, the surrounding environment was relatively safe, so the two chatted.
"Uncle Zhong, what did you do?" Liu Qing asked while sitting in the co-pilot.
"It turns out that I have been driving in the army. The world has changed a lot, and I still do this now." Zhang Jianzhong held the steering wheel with one hand and drove the car steadily.
"What about you? I heard that you are a very small number of special supplies in the base. What are your plans now?" Speaking of Liu Qing's identity, a look of respect appeared on Zhang Jianzhong's face.
"I got it by luck, everyone knows, my current plan is to escort, and stop when I arrive in Haicheng to search for supplies."
"Oh!" Zhang Jianzhong responded a few times, and then he couldn't help but said, "I have been in the army for many years, and I have heard some news. Although the number of missions has been counted and released, but now the zombies are gathering The number of them has exceeded [-], and they are directly opposite the southern gate, and they may start to attack when you rush over."
"Well," Liu Qing pondered after being reminded by Zhang Jianzhong: "The number of [-] should be able to withstand it in our base, and I will rush over as soon as possible."
Chatting with each other, the novelty of the two finally passed, and they fell silent separately.
The car was driving rapidly on the road. After an hour, the car had reached the 150-kilometer mark.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Liu Qing began to rest with her eyes closed.
More than four hours later, the car had already circled Haicheng for many kilometers, and during this period, the two experienced two waves of small-scale zombie harassment.
Before they were completely surrounded, Zhang Jianzhong drove around directly.
Except for a wave that was dodged by the two of them, Liu Qing got out of the car to solve the rest.
With a wealth of combat experience, he held a high-quality blade in the base, like peeling the outer skin of a fruit, one by one, picking out the group of thirty zombies one by one, and then killing them one by one.
Seeing this wave of battles, Zhang Jianzhong on the side smiled all over his face, and his eyes flashed with admiration, "I have seen others deal with zombies, and they are all clumsy in stature and clumsy. Compared with your figure and sword skills , it feels like a work of art to me.”
"I really envy you special forces members. Your own strength is much stronger than ordinary people. Now that you have been transformed by technology, you are now simply monsters in human form."
Regarding Zhang Jianzhong's statement, Liu Qing had already expected it and said with some evasion: "This is also a big responsibility. We were also selected. He is too powerful and we can't help ourselves."
Stumbling along the way, under the deliberate avoidance of the two, they finally arrived at their destination safely.
"Is it here?" Seeing a sign hanging on a tall tower, the two finally stopped.
This building, which looks like a signal tower, is lying in front of them, but it has been abandoned under the circumstances of the world's great changes.
"Report! We have arrived at our destination." After stopping, the two climbed into the tower. Zhang Jianzhong took out his satellite communication device and shouted into the radio.
"Received! The distribution of materials has just started from the stop point, please wait patiently, and report in time if there is any emergency!"
From the dark walkie-talkie, a soldier's thick and thick voice came out.
The waiting process was fraught with anxiety.
After the conversation, after an hour, Liu Qing and Zhang Jianzhong finally waited for the support team.
It was a car with a green container. The overall body was similar to the large truck Liu Qing knew. In addition, there were exits on both sides of the car to facilitate shooting by gunmen.
After a negotiation, the identities of Zhang Jianzhong and Liu Qing were determined, and a gunman got off the truck, and Liu Qing took his place.
A small car and a large truck went on the road one after the other, and returned along the original road.
Liu Qing felt something was wrong.
"If you look at it according to this situation, then I don't seem to have much effect, but the score of this task can be said to be very high." Thinking of this, he also asked the staff next to him.
"Are you asking this question?" The young man with the gun looked tired, and he pondered for a while, "Let me tell you about the data. There were a total of 7 ordinary soldiers like us in this car before, and One is the special operations personnel of the NO.11 base, and then you look at it, there are only a few people left in the car."
Hearing what he said, Liu Qing came to his senses and counted the number of people in the car.
"One, two, three...", he just read the number to the third, and he found that he couldn't count.
"You mean, five people died?"
The young man shook his head: "There was another co-pilot. The special operations team member got out of the car too fast and was too eager to explore the situation. As a result, he was bitten to death by the enemies and zombies ambushing on both sides."
After saying this, the car fell silent, including the other two people, all became silent in unison.
The young man breathed a sigh of relief, and continued: "It's also thanks to that big brother, otherwise the two thousand rounds of ammunition in the car would almost be used up. Although their grades are not high, we can't stand too many people!"
Speaking of which, he looked a little sad.
"Ten hours before departure, I also took over in the middle, but it turned out that I only drove for two hours. I had a good chat with someone who left as soon as I said it."
The half-hour conversation with the young man made Liu Qing feel that the situation is very serious. According to the information he said, the Aurora organization is constantly monitoring the direction of human beings, and they are beginning to intercept them in an organized and increasingly large scale.
The situation is more serious.
This organization is closely monitoring the whereabouts of each vehicle, and using some unknown method to surround the zombies here.
Including the one I was riding in.
"Could it be that because Zhang Jianzhong and I stopped for a while, they started to block it again?"
According to past experience, Liu Qing analyzed it a little and felt that it was entirely possible.
The car drove on the same road, and one hour passed, and everything was calm.
It seemed that in just another hour, the cars would all arrive in Haicheng.
Just when everyone was about to relax, a sudden change occurred.
Liu Qing's gaze stayed outside the car window.
The surrounding bushes more than one meter high swayed, accompanied by rustling sounds.
"There is a situation," the young man in the lead reacted, and quickly greeted his teammates.
"Brother Qing, be ready for battle," the young man did not forget to remind Liu Qing.
"En", Liu Qing responded, and drew out her own blade that smelled of blood.
In an instant, a pungent smell filled the car.
The other three looked at Liu Qing solemnly.
After more than ten seconds passed, dozens of dark round heads appeared in the bushes more than one meter high, and they were running towards the container at an increasing speed.
Although the car has been driven very fast, on the road ahead, everyone has seen a group of ragged zombies walking wobbly.
Before we knew it, the big truck was surrounded.
"How do these zombies know our whereabouts?"
"The people at Aurora should know that this is the only path to pass through, so they drove all the zombies over early." The young man seemed to have a lot of experience.
After the darkness appeared above the head, the surrounding leaves were still swaying, including the dark road ahead, which was surrounded by more and more zombies.
Everyone was ready to fight, and some wanted to shoot, but they were all stopped by the young people.
"Now let's not worry, wait for the car to drive into the grass for a while," Zhang San continued: "These zombies don't completely obey their orders, so if we shoot rashly, it will arouse their desire to attack, because they He has a very well-developed sense of hearing."
When the driver frantically turned the steering wheel and drove the car along a 45-degree angle, everyone finally pulled some distance away from the zombies on three sides.
But what made Zhang San feel cold was that in front of him and the others, there were still a steady stream of zombies surrounding him.
"How could this be?" he murmured, "There are at least five hundred of these zombies. How could there be so many?"
"Captain, you mean five hundred?" The person behind spoke, he looked around, still uncertain: "My mother, five hundred, where did you get so many, Zhang San, didn't you Make a mistake."
Zhang San's mood quickly stabilized, and he said, "Only in the southwest and southeast directions. There are fifty of them in each, and there are more in other directions. I have counted them all, and there is nothing wrong."
"Within a radius of 200 meters, there are less than a hundred zombies in this area itself, according to previous statistics."
He turned his head to look at Liu Qing, and continued: "It seems that when you came here before, they should have laid an ambush long ago, but they haven't come out yet, and they are waiting for us to pass this path."
"."
Liu Qing was also frightened by Zhang San's words, because he knew that what Zhang San said was true, and there were so many zombies ambush here, that he hadn't even noticed it before.
"Hurry up and shoot those in front." After knowing that he and the others were surrounded, Zhang San's first thought was to find a breakthrough.
'bang bang bang'
As soon as he finished speaking, the three people who had been waiting for a long time, including Liu Qing, opened fire.
All of a sudden, the rear driver's seat of the car, including the opening in the front half of the container, was full of flames.
in the wilderness.
The five-segmented awns as tall as a man swayed everywhere, and the bullets stirred up layers of ashes on the soil.
When the cart drove to 20 meters away from the group of zombies, Liu Qing and others had shot and killed more than 30 zombies under the suppression of firepower.
"Grenades, Xiaowu, Xiaoliu, take them out quickly." Zhang San, who had been prepared for a long time, groped a few times, and took out a black grenade that seemed to be of acceptable material from his arms, and buckled it with his fingers. Pulled out the safety pin directly.
There is no need to count silently at all, he has already calculated the position with his eyes, and the time from pulling it out to throwing it out is only two seconds.
From the driving seat nearly two meters high, after Zhang San threw it first, several other people also threw out their own grenades.
A few seconds later, Liu Qing heard several deafening gunpowder explosions.
In his field of vision, a fire ignited, and then the yellow color started from a small dot and quickly expanded to the size of a washbasin.
White smoke filled the air, covering dozens of zombies. At the same time, a small opening appeared in front of everyone.
But it seems that these gunpowder actually did not solve the fundamental problem, because these dead zombies actually only accounted for one tenth of the zombie group, or even less.
"Stop! Don't shoot." Sensing that their ammunition was about to run out, Liu Qing planned to go down to deal with these zombies by herself, "You guys stay here, I'll go down, don't worry about me, remember to drive the car all the time."
As he spoke, Zhang San showed an imperceptible surprise in front of him. A few seconds passed, including the two people behind him, all of them pinned their hopes of escape on Liu Qing.
After confirming that they would not shoot again, Liu Qing held her own knife, opened the car door, and jumped out of the car.
After the soles of his feet touched the ground, he opened his eyes and found a group of ragged zombies behind him, all of them turned their eyes to his position.
He looked at each other with cloudy eyeballs the size of a goose egg, but he ignored them and quietly activated the energy in his body to mobilize the flame that he could control.
A group of just right flames rose up, and the flames spread, distorting the space around the outer flames.
Liu Qing, who was used to setting fires, chose to burn this grassland again, thinking of taking advantage of the terrain to burn all the zombies to death.
In the dry season, the fire quickly ignited and burned the area one meter around him in a blink of an eye.
The strange phenomenon is that when these flames sizzled and sizzled, the color they emitted was actually very similar to the thunderous holy light emitted by Liu Qing's body.
It is also a mixture of blue and red, and also has a hint of deep purple.
'woo woo woo woo'
The colorful fire ignited, turning the wilderness into another scene. At the same time, hundreds of zombies in this direction felt the unbearable burning sensation.
'woo woo woo woo'
They whimpered, no different from two months ago.
After the fire continued to spread, the body's skills were scrapped by the flames, and for a while, the whimpers of the zombies rose one after another.
And Liu Qing, with his back to them, rushed forward with his back to the fire.
"Based on the power of this flame, I might be burnt to death by the car, and the seedlings on the car might also be scrapped." Thinking of this, he didn't choose to continue setting fire when he rushed towards the front of the car.
"Why, come back."
"There are so many zombies in front, have you seen it?"
"Liu Qing, come back quickly."
Realizing Liu Qing's actions, the four people in the car quickly called out.
However, Liu Qing ignored them, and directly used the strength of his modified feet, fully mobilized his muscles, and trampled on the ground, and jumped straight away.
All of a sudden, his body disappeared into the zombies.
The peripheral vision on both sides turned, and after rushing in, he saw pale faces clustered together.
"One knife, two swords, three swords", while counting, he kept waving his blade.
Because of experience, Liu Qing didn't need to look at it at all, and precisely inserted the tip of the knife into the temples, even the heart and abdomen of these zombies.
Surrounded by corpses, he fought with his hands and feet open, experiencing his enormous strength for the first time.
After beating for a while, he suddenly realized that the knife was in the way, so he put it in his waist and wore it.
Then use your fists to kill these zombies.
With a swing of both arms, a group of second-order zombies were swept away, and their legs were swept sideways. Under the strong force, more zombies were pushed away, and with a small number, they headed directly towards the wilderness. On the ground, he flew out and lay down.
In 1 minute, the number of zombies in front of them was halved, and the total number of dead and injured exceeded 150.
Unfolding it in one breath, Liu Qing stood in a relatively empty middle area, looking back at the inside of the large truck.
Seeing this, the people in the car rushed out without any time to be shocked.
"Yes", although no one was standing opposite him, Liu Qing still said.
After confirming that the car was out of the safe range, Liu Qing didn't want to get entangled with these zombies, so she hurriedly backed out.
But when he was catching up, he realized how amazing his physical fitness was.
He was running on his feet and found that he was running much faster than the big truck because of his hard running.
Within a few seconds, he walked side by side with the large truck, and saw Zhang San and the others in the driver's seat.
Before jumping into the driver's seat, Liu Qing looked back and found that a group of zombies were swarming in, and it seemed that they hadn't given up on chasing him and the others.
"Hey, what's this?" Liu Qing glanced casually, and saw a slightly strange thing among the corpses.
Compared with the surrounding zombies, he was neatly dressed, but he didn't show his face. Apart from these, this thing is definitely not something that should exist in the wilderness.
Could it be another special zombie?
Dominated by the previous experience, Liu Qing unconsciously wanted to go in that direction.
The black round object began to move, and the overall shape opened up, revealing flesh-colored skin above.
"That, it seems to be a scar." Looking at the exposed thing, Liu Qing noticed that it was a human face.
The black object is still getting longer and looks like it is about to stand up.
The other party didn't seem to be aware of his existence.
Then, the two pairs of eyes looked at each other.
There was a shrewdness in the black and white eyes, but also a deep gloom.
These are the eyes of a normal person.
After staring at it for two seconds, the middle-aged man in black with a scar on his face quickly crawled down.
Then, like a magic trick, the whole figure slowly disappeared, and the blackness seemed to be erased out of thin air on the loess land.
"What the hell is this?" Liu Qing, who saw this kind of situation for the first time, felt very confused.
But then, he jumped into the window of a large truck beside him, and looked at each other with Zhang San and the other three.
"Is the transformation so scary, captain?" the young man behind him said.
"I don't know much about it, but it seems a bit beyond my imagination," Zhang San said hesitantly.
"If the previous Brother Wu had this kind of strength, how could he be attacked by those people?" said another person.
"That's hard to say," the second person who spoke replied, "When Brother Wu went down, there were still living people lying in ambush on the other side. If Brother Wu hadn't been hit by that bullet, how could he have been killed so quickly?" These zombies were bitten to death."
"Okay, don't mention it all." Zhang San glanced at Liu Qing with awe and gratitude in his eyes, "Brother Qing, it's all thanks to you."
"Today's matter should be a secret in the base, Xiao Wu, you must not reveal it."
The two nodded.
Although the three of them were shocked by Liu Qing's behavior, the crisis behind them had not been resolved at this moment, and they could only choose to continue running for their lives.
Unknowingly, they shook off the zombies behind them and drove out of Haicheng.
For Liu Qing, she could only choose to continue the escort,
The vehicle driven by Zhang Jianzhong behind him also followed the large truck of himself and others.
Thanks to Liu Qing's help, they were able to survive the disaster.
The journey was safe and sound. After three hours, the two vehicles passed through the security check and passed the south gate successfully.
Here, Liu Qing saw the deputy base chief who had been waiting, and Long Qijun, the leader of the second team.
"How's the situation? Is any of you seriously injured?" Long Qijun, who heard some general news, hurried up.
