“Brother Rat, what’s the matter?” The younger brother saw Brother Rat lost in thought.
After Brother Rat returned to the Fortune Coming District, he immediately reported about the horde of zombies. The leaders took it very seriously. Although Brother Rat mentioned that Luo Ying and Luo Zhu were in Qi Yu City, the leaders did not think that just two enhanced humans could deal with the horde alone. Brother Rat himself also reported that the detectors had identified third-tier zombies within the horde.
Brother Rat was the most familiar with the situation, so the leaders hired him at a high price in contribution points to go to Qi Yu City and investigate in depth. He was not particularly outstanding among the enhanced humans, so if the leaders were to hinder him, his life would become significantly harder. Brother Rat dared not refuse the leaders’ intentions, so he had no choice but to reluctantly agree.
The leadership didn’t actually intend to send Brother Rat to his death. They dispatched several enhanced humans to assist him. Brother Rat’s squad, fully armed, drove towards Qi Yu City. Just a moment ago, two figures passed by. Brother Rat felt that it was Luo Ying and Luo Zhu. He rubbed his eyes. When he didn’t see anyone, he thought his eyes were playing tricks on him.
“It’s nothing.”
Arriving in Qi Yu City, the squad, which was prepared to risk everything, was astonished. They had their mouths wide open for half a day, thinking they were dreaming.
The zombies seemed to have been through a one-sided battle. Millions of headless zombies filled the streets. It was incredibly shocking, but the most eye-catching was a white elephant, like a small hill, blocking the street.
The whole city was completely silent.
“This is divine…” Brother Rat muttered, and all his team members nodded subconsciously.
This was certainly not something that could be achieved by human means.
“Command center, this is the temporary reconnaissance squad.” Brother Rat quickly picked up the communicator, reporting the situation to the leaders, a smile of joy on his face.
This was like picking up contribution points without any risk.
“Proceed. ”
“We have discovered millions of zombies in Qi Yu City…”
The voice on the other end of the communicator hurriedly asked: “What’s the route of advancement, how many are first-tier zombies, how many are second-tier zombies, what’s the condition of the third-tier zombies, and what’s their discipline?”
“They are acting separately…lying on the ground, so there’s probably no route of advancement.” Brother Rat looked at the immobile zombies and thought their discipline was beyond reproach; they were completely motionless as if ordered to do so.
“What does that mean?” The leadership frowned. They had never heard of zombies sleeping and didn’t understand the phrase ‘acting separately.’ Were the zombies utilizing tactics? This was a significant issue—if true, they would have to revise their existing countermeasures.
Brother Rat organized his thoughts and tried to describe the facts objectively and impartially, prompting the leadership to believe: “There are millions of dead zombies in Qi Yu City. The cause of death is decapitation, probably at the hands of Luo Ying and Luo Zhu.”
In his heart, Brother Rat added, and the spirit of the Luo Family’s ancestor.
Of course, the leaders didn’t believe such a fanciful story. There were trusted subordinates in the squad whose answers were almost identical to Brother Rat’s, even more exaggerated.
It took a while for the leaders to accept this reality. From the heart, they praised Luo Ying and Luo Zhu:
“Damn.”
Seeing the zombies, Brother Rat was overjoyed. Without the threat of the zombies, Qi Yu City was as precious as a piece of fat meat. Who knew how many valuable things were buried in the ruins. He’d heard there was even a supercomputer here. He couldn’t move it alone, and even with a group of people… it seemed they still couldn’t move it.
But those were minor issues.
The corpse of the white elephant alone could be sold for a massive amount of contribution points. This was a third-level zombie. Its skin, flesh, and bones were of extraordinarily high value, either for research or for making weapons.
If the two big shots didn’t care about this carcass, they did.
Brother Rat was rubbing his hands in excitement. Following the big shots wouldn’t just allow them to sip the soup, but to eat the meat as well.
Fortune Coming District, the Contribution Points Exchange Center.
“Stop picking your tasks, you always fail anyway. Look who’s coming!” Someone excitedly called his companion.
The Exchange Center issues various tasks , such as finding relatives, cleaning up the second-tier zombies in Qi Yu City, etc. Upon completion, you can earn contribution points. These tasks are generally quite difficult and require careful selection; otherwise, they could prove fatal.
The friend, who was interrupted and quite unhappy, argued, “What do you mean I always fail, I’ve been working hard! The problem is not my capabilities but the difficulty of the tasks. Who’s there? Could it be Brother Luo Ying… holy crap, it really is.”
As a man and woman entered the Exchange Center, the noisy crowd chose to quiet down, their heads instinctively turning to follow the sibling duo. “That must be Luo Zhu. She’s adorable, not at all like her older brother.”
Supporters of Luo Ying objected: “Isn’t Luo Ying also very… All you care about is appearance. Didn’t you see his masculine charisma?”
“Is that the rumored ancestor? So young and he’s already passed away, It’s sad.” The crowd muttered softly.
“Hello there, are you here to sell items, purchase items, or submit a task?” The receptionist at the Exchange Center, her face red with excitement, resisted her enthusiasm as she gazed at her idol.
She initially wanted to say two of you, but seeing Jiang Li, she reflexively changed to three of you.
“Could you please tell me how many contribution points I have?”
“Of course, please wait. …Mr. Luo Ying, you have a total of six million, fifty-six thousand, eight hundred contribution points.”
The crowd gasped, frightened by the number of contribution points. “I remember that one first-tier brain core is fifty contribution points?”
Luo Ying didn’t find his contribution points peculiar. As the name suggests, contribution points are generated based on contributions. They don’t have the same value as money before the zombie crisis. Nowadays, paper money is just scrap paper that people wouldn’t bother picking up.
Luo Ying’s contributions are immeasurable. He established the enhanced human system, disclosed the data on zombies, foretold the disaster, suggested temporarily giving up on rebuilding the nation, and set up safe zones. Plus, his latest contribution in stopping the horde, all these contributions brought Luo Ying’s contribution points to a terrifying level. Luo Yin might be the wealthiest man now. “Yes, are you planning to…”
“Buy up all the first-tier brain cores.”
The receptionist was stunned. After confirming that she’d heard correctly, she showed Luo Ying an amiable smile and then quickly scurried to call the manager. The manager felt a great deal of pressure and called the person in charge. The person in charge was scratching his head. He was the highest-ranking person here and had no one to defer to.
Buying up all the brain cores—to pay with Luo Ying’s contribution points was not the issue. The problem was that their Exchange Center wasn’t qualified to handle such a large transaction.
The person in charge was contemplating what to do when someone patted his shoulder. When he looked up, he immediately stepped aside.
“Mr. Luo Ying? Miss Luo Zhu? And this gentleman is…” An elegant middle-aged man took the place of the person in charge.
“Jiang Li.”
Does the Luo Family’s ancestor’s last name Jiang?
The middle-aged man didn’t mind the detail: “My last name is Wang. I’m the highest-ranking officer of the Fortune Coming District. I’m delighted to meet the heroes of all humanity. On behalf of the Fortune Coming District, I welcome you all.”
In his previous life, Luo Ying had stayed in the Fortune Coming District and knew this Officer Wang. But back then, he was too weak to meet Officer Wang, while in this life, Officer Wang personally greeted them.
“The environment here is not very pleasant. Would the three of you be interested in discussing things in my office?”
Luo Ying and Luo Zhu looked at Jiang Li. Jiang Li nodded: “Sure.”
It seemed that this Jiang Li was the main influence. Officer Wang mentally upgraded Jiang Li’s status in his mind..
