C16 – Entering the Vaulter Base
Yan Cheng nodded, his voice hushed, “As the apocalypse looms, the most crucial asset remains human talent. Whether in logistics or combat, researchers are indispensable. To develop new cultivation methods and more powerful weapons, you can’t expect these soldiers to handle R&D. Granted, not everyone in the school is necessarily talented – take you and me, for example!”
Lang Zhe rolled his eyes at this, but Yan Cheng, undeterred, went on, “Still, there are high-caliber students like Huang Qiu. The likelihood of finding talent here is significantly higher than in other places. Plus, it’s easier to manage people within the school environment, certainly more so than those out in society.”
Lang Zhe couldn’t help but concede that Yan Cheng had a point. The students in the school surely didn’t have as many varied ideas as those shaped by the broader society.
As they traveled, the military officers cleared a path, shredding nearby zombies with their weapons while diligently collecting the crystal cores.
“Cheng, you’ve got an eye for this. See, even the soldiers are gathering those zombie crystal cores!” Lang Zhe praised, flashing a thumbs-up.
“Obviously!” Yan Cheng replied, unabashedly proud, though he left out the fact that his awareness of the crystal cores was thanks to the system.
“You’re full of yourself!” Lang Zhe teased.
Yan Cheng just smirked and stayed silent, diving into a game. This time, he didn’t lose right away, but after picking up a shotgun, he immediately felt queasy!
People with 3D motion sickness experience exacerbated symptoms when playing first-person 3D games in a moving vehicle.
Huang Qiu patted Yan Cheng’s back, asking, “You’re playing on your phone while carsick?”
Too drained to respond, Yan Cheng wished he could tell her that he wasn’t actually carsick.
After a long, unsteady journey, they finally reached a city encircled by towering walls. Their large group had attracted numerous zombies along the way, and although the military did their best to protect them, some people were still injured or even devoured.
The soldier approached the lobby entrance on the first floor and informed the gatekeeper, “These three will be staying for a month.”
“Got it, rest assured, I’ll take care of it!” the gatekeeper responded cheerfully.
Once the soldier had left them with the gatekeeper, he departed.
“You all must be students, right?” the gatekeeper began, “But to have the military arrange accommodation for you is quite the feat!”
“You’ve got keen eyes indeed. We were fortunate to take over a supermarket, which is why we’re enjoying these perks!” Yan Cheng responded.
“Got it. Allow me to introduce myself—I’m Tang Ming, the gatekeeper around here!” Tang Ming said, introducing himself.
“Brother Tang, could you fill us in on the details of this base? We’ve just arrived and aren’t familiar with the local rules,” Yan Cheng said as he offered an apple.
Tang Ming’s eyes lit up at the sight of the apple. “Absolutely, I’d be happy to. Even though I’m always here at the gate, I’m well-informed about what goes on outside.”
“Please, do tell,” Yan Cheng urged, showing his eagerness to learn.
“The perimeter of this base was only finished yesterday, though I heard construction started three days ago,” Tang Ming explained. “But that’s not what’s important. What matters are the rules here. First off, you can’t just go around killing people. And second, if the base is under threat from a zombie tide or an attack from another base, you’re expected to contribute and defend.”
