Chapter 493 Special Rewards
Seeing is better than guessing.
The scene outside the building was played on the virtual screen of the floating monitor.
A group of people of varying heights, all wearing uniform protective clothing, came out one after another.
Everyone recognized at a glance that these were the citizens who had volunteered to sign up on the 14th floor.
Because their hesitant and looking around body movements were completely different from those of the people who killed the zombies before.
They held a long scimitar in their hands, the blade was sharp and the tip was flashing with cold light.
The camera pulls away, and in the thin fog, the zombies are scrambling to climb over the roadblock and rush into the crowd to bite people.
Deafening roars and the sound of sharp weapons cutting through flesh and blood echoed through the suspended monitor on the 48th floor, surrounding everyone's ears.
Everyone's eyes were filled with fear and a hint of anticipation, hoping to see the might and bravery of those people on the 14th floor.
Under the nervous gaze of the crowd, they moved.
“…Charge!”
A group of people holding machetes went to support the roadblock.
However, when I really rushed into the world full of zombies, saw their blue-gray, rotten skin up close, saw the falling flesh, the eerie white bones and twisted limbs, my heart skipped a beat.
Their steps suddenly became heavy, and every time they lifted their legs, they couldn't help but tremble with fear.
——This... is really a living dead!
——Can I really kill them with just the knife in my hand?
"What are you hesitating about?" The regular team member, who had been holding on for a long time and was almost exhausted, turned back and shouted angrily, "Hurry up and take over! You should have learned some skills after watching for so long, right? Come on!!"
A man looked up at the suspended monitor flying in the sky and was the first to walk over.
The others were hesitant, but slowly followed.
After they took over, the official team members immediately retreated to the second line, took off their protective helmets, drank water and ate food, replenishing their energy as quickly as possible.
At the same time, we have to observe whether this group of citizens can hold on and whether they will let the zombies in.
At first, they thought they could easily kill zombies with the machetes in their hands, but when they actually faced them, they realized how difficult it was to successfully kill a zombie!
This group of zombies seemed tireless. They attacked and bit madly. Their hideous faces, so close at hand, were frightening.
"Bah—if others can kill them, we can kill them too! Kill them with knives!"
I don't know who shouted this, but a sharp scimitar flew through the air and with a clang, it cut off the zombie's outstretched hand.
This move successfully boosted morale.
Seeing it was so easy, the citizens became excited and raised their scimitars to chop at the zombies opposite them.
The players who thought they would flee were shocked.
"Hey, not bad, I thought it was all just for show and would run back in no time!"
"Just kill them if you dare. This way we can rest for a while. Hopefully they can hold out longer."
"No, they only have strength but no skills, it's easy for the knife to get stuck!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the scimitar of one of them got stuck in the bones of the zombie and he couldn't pull it out no matter what. Instead, the zombie got close to him.
A rotten stench hit him in the face, cracked lips oozing black blood opened wide and bitten, blue-gray claws tore through the protective mask, leaving five deep bloody marks on his face.
The man's face was exposed to the air, and he screamed in pain.
Cold sweat instantly soaked the backs of the viewers on the 48th floor.
"My wife is fierce."
"It's over. Can that person still survive?"
"His face is torn to pieces! Even if he survives, he will be disfigured in the future!"
"Quiet! Everyone, be quiet!" Yang Xuezhen shouted angrily, "Keep reading, no one dares to speak!"
He turned up the volume to drown out the noise of the crowd.
The person who was scratched in the picture was nearly dragged away by zombies, but was rescued by the team members who arrived in time.
"Go back upstairs and find a doctor for treatment!"
The vacant position was quickly filled.
After a brief chaos, things gradually returned to their original order.
The team members generously shared tips on killing zombies with the citizens.
"Chopping down with the blade tilted like this will make it least likely to get stuck in the bone..."
"You have to cut the neck. Although the zombie without a head can still move for the time being, it is not to be feared..."
"Be careful not to get caught by the zombies' claws, otherwise you will get a fever and lose your mind for a long time..."
"When you feel there are holes in the protective suit, you must go back and change into a new one in time..."
These words seemed to be teaching newcomers, but in fact, every word was transmitted to the ears of everyone in the building through the floating monitor.
——This is something everyone needs to know.
Although fog enveloped the building, the distinction between day and night was still clear.
After nightfall, the zombies became more active and the manpower required doubled, with four teams guarding the first and second half of the night respectively.
Anjiu and her grandmother returned to the space to spend the night. Without being disturbed by the roars of zombies, they slept well.
Citizens who went out on the 14th floor yesterday received special medals. Each person was awarded a medal with the words "Best Citizen" inscribed on it.
"Citizens holding this medal will enjoy a 8% discount on all supplies in the Hive!"
There was a sudden whisper at the scene.
Everyone is envious.
It’s 8% off, which can save a lot of contribution value in a year!
Grandma pulled Anjiu's hand and said, "Don't be tempted. There's no point in getting an 80% discount."
Grandma was worried that she would get carried away and stand up and volunteer to go out and kill zombies.
There are enough supplies in the space, there is no need to take risks just for this 8% discount.
And not everyone can be given a 8% discount medal.
"I know," Anjiu said, "I won't sign up."
At this time, Yang Xuezhen struck while the iron was hot, "The registration quota has been taken by those people downstairs, but I got a job opportunity for you——"
Before he could finish, someone raised his hand.
"Administrator, I'm going!"
"I'm going too, I'm signing up too!"
In just a blink of an eye, everyone raised their hands and spoke one by one, making so much noise that the roof was about to blow off.
"Quiet!" Yang Xuezhen pressed his hands down desperately, "Listen to me! This job has limitations!"
“First, we need young people between 20 and 30 years old!”
"The second one must be a man!"
"Third, you need to be quick-witted and courageous!"
He personally selected people, and selected more than 20 people in total.
"Just follow my people. When you get downstairs, someone will tell you what to do. Just do it as required. You will be paid when the work is completed on the same day."
Those who were not selected all looked at this group of people taking the elevator downstairs with envy.
The salary for such a job must be quite high!
It’s such a pity that I wasn’t selected!
Everyone wanted to know what specific job Yang Xuezhen had taken on, and when they asked him, he just smiled.
