Chapter 192: Wasteland Day 35, Back Into the Wasteland Battle Royale
Baa baa~~
Under Mie Mie's calls, Yu Yuan gradually woke up. The alarm also rang at the same time and was turned off by him with a casual flick.
"Morning! Mie Mie!"
After a simple greeting, he lazed in bed for a few more minutes, waiting for his bodily functions and consciousness to be fully awakened.
Only then did he get up and start a new day.
Quick washing up, completing the daily feeding and collection.
Not bad today. The Magazine Display Stand actually refreshed a Rock quality [Tactics Card].
The food was also already heated. Yu Yuan picked up the newspaper and began eating.
Today was already the 35th day of the Wasteland Calendar.
The weather had clearly dropped significantly in temperature. The lowest temperature displayed on the newspaper masthead was also fluctuating around 10°C.The first piece of news was very interesting. Last night in the southern district, a scavenger organization with over a dozen people was attacked by an unknown creature, resulting in the death of all members.
The corpses were covered everywhere with bite marks and claw tear marks from canine-like creatures.
Yu Yuan guessed this was most likely Hogg's doing.
The second piece of news was about the Burning Fortress.
It had been quite some time since there was any news about the Burning Fortress.
He never expected that when news appeared again, it would be about someone defecting.
A newly promoted Flame Priest named [Gaina], along with the Flame Knights under his command, attacked a Material Reserve Warehouse of the Burning Fortress yesterday afternoon and fled into the wilderness.
'Black Lung' Victor was exceptionally furious and dispatched a large number of people to hunt down Gaina and the Flame Knights he took away.
He even issued assistance kill orders to the Thug Prison and the Iron Anchor Shipping Company.
This news genuinely left Yu Yuan somewhat astonished.
"What did this Victor do to make his subordinates defect? It's just that the cold wave is about to arrive, this group of people probably...."
Shaking his head slightly, Yu Yuan stopped thinking about it further.
However, the final piece of news did pique a bit of his interest.
[Neighborhood News Section]
Quality: Rock
Danger Level: Low
The Northern District's Black Rock Caravan has now entered an extremely awkward situation. A few days ago, they risked entering Johnck Zoo, wanting to beat a drowning dog and get a share from the corpse of the Aurora Animal Assistance Association.
Instead, they were trapped and beaten like dogs by the Aurora Animal Assistance Association, losing the caravan's most elite batch of members. The losses were quite severe.
Now, in order to replenish combat strength and equipment, they have consumed a massive amount of supplies. As the caravan's Vice President, Zhou Yuan feels deeply helpless.
"Supplies... supplies... how can I get supplies! If this continues, I'll have to run away too!"
————————
"Interesting! The Black Rock Caravan is this weak, already unable to hold on? No way!"
Yu Yuan was very surprised in his heart.
As another thug faction, the Black Shield Police Department was fighting on multiple fronts, losing countless pieces of equipment and supplies. Even so, their current supply reserves were still ample.
How come when it came to this Black Rock Caravan, they became so pathetic!
Thinking for a moment, Yu Yuan sent a message to Carmen.
[Wolf Den · King: If you get a chance, help investigate the situation of the Black Rock Caravan and Vice President Zhou Yuan!]
[Lone Wolf: Understood!]
Yu Yuan was momentarily stunned by the sudden name change.
[Wolf Den · King: Your name?]
[ Lone Wolf: Aren't you Wolf Den? And the Jackal squad also uses codenames. From now on, my codename will be Lone Wolf! No duplicates, right?]
[Wolf Den · King: None!]
[ Wolf Den · King: By the way, pay more attention to Hogg's situation. I suspect he's somewhat out of control!]
[ Lone Wolf: I noticed. Ever since I showed him those teeth two days ago, there have been signs of wolf howls these past two nights. I suspect it's him.]
[ Wolf Den · King: It's definitely him. Be careful on your end.]
Ending the communication.
Yu Yuan also finished his breakfast.
After simply stretching his body a bit, he put on his equipment, preparing to enter the Wasteland Battle Royale again.
Only this time, he was entering the real-deal Wasteland Battle Royale, not the previously weakened version, the Wasteland Trial.
Unfortunately, the Gas Mask he tried to purchase yesterday had no takers for a trade.
After a final check of the space inside the Rabbit Ring and completing equipment with Mie Mie, Yu Yuan opened the Virtual Light Screen - Wasteland Battle Royale.
[Player ID: Yu Yuan Shelter, applying to enter Wasteland Battle Royale.]
[Detected player is Rock Rank, added to Wasteland Battle Royale (Rock Rank) queue list...]
[Team locked... 10-second countdown... 9... 8...... 2... 1, teleportation begins!]
Familiar darkness once again appeared before Yu Yuan's eyes.
When he opened his eyes again, he was already inside Freedom Tower.
The Virtual Light Screen popped up again with prompts related to evacuation. However, this time, different from the Wasteland Trial, the challenge difficulty had changed to Rock Rank.
Clearly, the strength of those Infected wouldn't be as simple as last time either.
Yu Yuan carefully opened the door in front of him. This seemed to be inside a hotel. Yu Yuan could still see the messy scene inside the hotel guest room.
"Hotel guest room? This is on the 15th floor."
Within Freedom Tower, only the 14th and 15th floors were hotels. However, the 14th floor was the Hotel Lobby, and only the 15th floor had guest rooms.
Regarding this, Yu Yuan didn't really care. Where he spawned didn't matter. His purpose for entering this time was to collect as much scattered spirituality as possible during the event period.
He also saw several Infected in Dormant Mode in the corridor and immediately moved towards them.
Skillfully walking behind an Infected, he wrapped his hands around the Infected's head and twisted hard.
Crack—
The Cervical Spine broke, but Yu Yuan's brow couldn't help but furrow slightly.
Just now, he clearly felt something off with the tactile feedback when twisting. The Infected's Cervical Spine was about twenty percent harder and more resistant compared to during the trial.
Fortunately, he had been prepared from the start, using full strength from the beginning, which prevented any accidents.
"Twenty percent! This is troublesome now!"
If ordinary Infected already had this level of strength, wouldn't the strength of Elite Infected, even Leader-level Infected, be even higher!
"Better be more careful this time!"
With both players and Infected having enhanced strength, Yu Yuan couldn't help but become more cautious.
Also, he noticed earlier that when he killed this Infected, the nearest Infected seemed to show signs of awakening. Luckily, his actions were swift, causing it to stop its awakening motion.
The Combat Detector displayed two bright red dots on the 15th floor, which were Elite Infected. He decided to take out the other ordinary Infected first, then deal with those two Elite Infected last.
Having gained a clear understanding of the Infected's strength increase, Yu Yuan's movements became even faster and more decisive.
He quickly cleared all the Infected near the corridor.
What was gratifying was that although the Infected's strength had increased considerably, the corresponding scattered spirituality they provided was also more.
One could almost reach over 1.2%.
For Yu Yuan, this was simply a huge incentive.
After clearing the corridor Infected, Yu Yuan also walked into the nearest guest room to start searching for supplies.
Just as he entered, he actually saw a Safe inside the open wardrobe...
