Chapter 112: Meeting 3

In the previous life, some insects became as large as cows while others retained their original small size.

Generally, the larger insects were powerful and difficult to deal with.

However, they were always preferable because it was easier to guard against insects you could see than those you could barely detect.

Thinking of this, Qin Wu shuddered and her eyes narrowed.

“Maybe this is not a bad thing.” She said.

“Mmh.” Mo Chenxuan nodded.

So far, survivors hadn’t taken insects seriously.

However, after seeing their horror, the base, army, teams, and other survivors would be forced to reassess their opinions and make proper arrangements.

“It’s not a bad thing to let the army experience the horror of insects. However, we can’t be reckless. It’s not the right way to lose the rice and chicken.”

“I know.” Qin Wu agreed.

After all, the population was already too small.

If possible, they didn’t want more people to die needlessly.

While the two were talking, the meeting shifted to another topic.

“In addition to fuel and other petrochemical products, the mission has two more reward opportunities.” Guan Sheng said and quickly continued.

“The research institute has been researching mutant plants. This time, some researchers will join our mission and will collect samples along the way. You can earn task points by submitting mutant plants and other oddities discovered along the way.”

“Second, rescuing stranded survivors will also generate rewards.”

Hearing this, several people began discussing.

“Does rescuing include transporting the survivors to a safe base?” Someone asked.

“This depends.” Guan Sheng started.

“The teams will only be asked to ferry survivors if the army’s vehicles are full and can’t transport more people. In that case, transporting people will generate more rewards.”

After explaining, Guan Sheng moved on to the next matter.

Five hours passed in the blink of an eye.

In the five hours, they not only discussed the route and tasks but also how to handle supplies, night watch, and attacks.

Finally, they discussed compensation for travel expenses.

According to the agreement, each car would be compensated with one litre of fuel for every ten kilometres of travel.

In this way, the teams would not suffer a loss from taking the refinery mission.

After the meeting, Mo Chenxuan and Qin Wu returned to Villa Eight.

However, since it was already evening, they didn’t meet the team but instead arranged a meeting for the next day.

Night passed as usual.

The following day, Team Legends and the affiliated teams met in the compound.

Unlike the previous time, everyone was tense and looked ready to take action.

“The refinery mission is finally here.” Qin Wu said, her lips curled in a smile.

After that, she briefly revealed what was discussed in the strategy meeting.

“How many space ability users do we have?” She asked, looking at the crowd.

“Team Flow, you go first.”

Hearing this, Tang Jun stood up.

“Team Flow currently has thirty-four members. Of the thirty-four, two are level two superpowers and three are space ability users. Unfortunately, the space ability users are level one and each only has one hundred square metres of space.”

“What about team Eve?”

“Team Eve has fifteen members. We have two level two superpowers and two space ability users. Like team Flow, our space ability users are level one.” Xu Hongying said.

Qin Wu nodded when she heard this.

“Transporting fifty thousand litres of fuel will require twenty-five square metres of space. If the space ability users dedicate half their space to fuel, Team Flow can bring back three hundred thousand litres of fuel and Team Eve can transport two hundred thousand litres.” She stated and quickly continued.

“This time, team Legends will take half your fuel as compensation for bringing you along.”

After saying that, Qin Wu looked around and when she saw the affiliated teams weren’t dissatisfied, she nodded and continued.

“As for the remaining half, you are free to do whatever you want with it. You can keep it if you want or let Team Legends submit it for you in exchange for task points and crystal weapons.”

“Crystal weapons? Are those the new weapons the base has been developing?” Someone asked and Qin Wu nodded.

At the same time, she felt a little regretful.

After all, Team Legends failed to secure Qi Shu thus losing the opportunity to lead the trail of apocalypse technology.

In the end, Qin Wu shook her head and focused on the team members.

“Ordinary hot weapons will soon become ineffective against zombies.” She started.

“When that happens, superpowers and crystal weapons will be our only options. However, don’t rush to decide. After all, winter is coming and a lot of fuel will be needed to keep warm.”

When they heard this, the team members nodded with solemn expressions.

After all, the base had long released a notice, cautioning survivors to prepare for an extraordinarily cold winter.

Seeing that everyone understood, Qin Wu continued.

“We will pass near a swamp on our way to the refinery.” She said.

“Depending on our luck, this swamp may be a death trap and we need to be prepared to protect ourselves.”

“First, wear form-fitting leather clothes. This will prevent insects from easily crawling under your clothes or biting you through the clothes. Although this method is not foolproof, it’s a start.”

“Second, cover as much of your skin as possible. This will include wearing masks and gloves.”

Over the next hour, Qin Wu explained necessary precautions and made sure everyone understood the importance of not underestimating insects.

After the meeting, the affiliated teams left while team Legends remained in the room.

“Junxie, how many space ability users do we have?” Mo Chenxuan asked.

“Our army has recruited five space ability users.” Xiao Junxie answered and Mo Chenxuan nodded before continuing.

“Choose thirty high-performing soldiers, including three space ability users to accompany us for the mission.”

“Got it.” Xiao Junxie nodded.

Although Mo Chenxuan and Qin Wu had enough space to bring back all the fuel in the refinery, they didn’t want to do that.

Instead, they wanted to slowly train and temper the soldiers.

Only in this way could they build a noteworthy army.

“Register a team after selecting the soldiers. From now on, we will use that team to hide the soldiers whenever we take a major mission.”

“What team name should I use?”

Hearing the question, Mo Chenxuan fell into thought but soon turned to Qin Wu.

“Let’s call it ’Shadow Warriors’.” She said.
