The crowd buzzed with discussion.
"What do they call their team?"
"Yeah, why are their clothes so clean?"
Xu Qian paid no mind, casually scanning the four-star missions. Only five were available.
1. Collect 500 kilograms of gasoline.
2. Rescue a family from a specific house in a specific building in a specific district.
3. Collect medicine (100 kilograms).
4. Clear zombies from the highway, a 5-kilometer stretch from the base outskirts to the city, and set up a fence.
5. Collect data from the subway, from a specific person in a specific carriage at a specific location (this mission rewards 1500 points).
One- and two-star missions had a one-day deadline, three- and four-star missions had two days, and five-star missions had their deadlines specified separately.
Xu Qian pondered for a moment and said, "Let's take two four-star missions. I suggest collecting medicine and clearing the highway."
Mei Yuebai, Gu Qing, and Li Lili generally didn't object. Following Xu Qian was always the right choice.
Cheng Liangqing's brow furrowed. "Is there some hesitation regarding the rescue mission?"
As a police officer, he prioritized saving lives.
"That residential area is in the city center's affluent district, with too much foot traffic. You've just started your missions. I don't recommend choosing a place with so many zombies; it's easy to get hurt."
Cheng Liangqing nodded in agreement.
Cheng Liangze pouted and muttered under his breath, "Coward."
Li Lili quickly nudged his shoulder, telling him to keep quiet.
*Sister Qian is doing this to protect their safety. Brother Liangze is really...*
Mei Yuebai's expression turned grim, electricity sparking at her fingertips.
*I really want to electrocute him.*
"..."
Before she could retract her electric charge, Xu Qian grasped her hand.
Mei Yuebai froze, nervously examining Xu Qian's hand, finding no trace of electrical injury. She knew herself; with the amount of electricity she had generated, it was impossible not to be injured.
Xu Qian looked puzzled. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing."
Xixi Daren already had many strange secrets. If she didn't want to talk about them, he wouldn't force her.
In the end, everyone agreed to accept the two four-star missions Xu Qian had chosen. They would collect medicine first, then clear the zombies.
Yu Corporation's headquarters was located in the heart of G City, which was precisely Xu Qian's plan. By emptying the medicine from their headquarters, she could prevent the Wang Corporation from recovering. The Wang Corporation, one of the leading pharmaceutical manufacturers in G City, had many branches, but their headquarters held the largest stock. Even if they rushed to other branches to gather medicine, it wouldn't be enough for them to become one of the controllers of the Hope Base.
"Gu Qing, navigate to Yu Pharmaceuticals."
"Yes."
Li Lili sidled up to Xu Qian. "Sister Qian, I thought we'd have to search from one pharmacy to another. You were prepared all along."
Xu Qian's eyes held a faint smile. "How long would it take to find medicines from one pharmacy to another? But don't think it'll be too easy."
She knew Yu Pharmaceuticals was located in the city center, and she was certain they would have people guarding the medicine. With that thought, her expression grew serious.
"Yu Pharmaceuticals will most likely be guarded. We must be careful."
As she spoke, she waved her hand, and five firearms, along with some bullets and daggers, appeared on the table.
"Take anything you need. Prioritize your safety. Your life is more important than the mission."
*I didn't expect this Xu Qian to be quite generous.*
*My Sister Qian is the best.*
Cheng Liangze quickly selected two guns and a dagger.
"Thanks."
Cheng Liangqing and Li Lili took some bullets and daggers.
G City's outskirts were about an hour's drive from the city center. They closed their eyes to rest, conserving their energy for the arduous battle ahead.
