Chapter 78: 065 Mandatory Task! (Third Update)
Updated from freewёbnoνel.com.
After breakfast, the Fang Family went to the Task Hall again, planning to accept a task. However, when they arrived, they found that the situation was quite different!
Although they had left home early, it wasn’t until they reached the Task Hall that they realized many people were already there, and everyone’s expression was notably solemn.
These people had gathered in clusters, and on closer inspection, it was evident that they had formed several factions with clear boundaries. Initially puzzled by their serious expressions, the Fang Family then noticed a new notice posted on the wall.
They didn’t rush to ask anyone about it, but decided to patiently read the new announcement. After reading it, their expressions also changed.
It turned out to be a notice of forced conscription!
The notice read that to rescue as many survivors as possible, any person within the Safe Zone who had successfully completed a task had to accept a rescue mission. They had to enter the city to save survivors and were not allowed to take on any other tasks.
Beneath, there was a detailed list of the mercenary teams and corresponding personnel required to undertake the rescue missions, including the Yongcheng Mercenary Team that the Fang Family had established.
No wonder this notice had changed the survivors’ expressions. A mission to save people was naturally much more difficult than merely hunting zombies. One could imagine that many of the rescued individuals were likely in poor condition. Bringing them to the Safe Zone undeniably involved increased dangers. These people were almost living burdens!
Yet, now the higher-ups had issued such a mission. If one refused, they would be met with severe punishment. Each refusal would result in the deduction of 100 Contribution Points, and the offender would also be added to the Safe Zone’s blacklist, affecting their shopping privileges at the safe store.
While this act by the high-ups might seem harsh to many survivors within the Safe Zone, considering the higher-ups’ intention was to rescue people, their actions were understandable. After all, there were only so many soldiers; how many could they possibly save alone? Moreover, with a large number of zombies in the city, any delay decreased the number of survivors.
Furthermore, the requirement that only those who had successfully completed tasks the previous day accept a rescue mission was clearly well thought out. This group, having successfully completed tasks, proved their abilities. Moreover, they would perform the tasks alongside soldiers, and anyone conscripted would receive a handgun and six bullets free of charge.
After completing the mission, the handgun would be their personal property, along with substantial rewards, and the better the performance, the more generous the rewards. If someone were injured, they would be sent to the Safe Hospital upon return. If someone were unlucky enough to die, their family would receive a decent pension, and if they had no family, the pension would go to their friends.
Clearly, the higher-ups did not intend to send survivors to their deaths, and the compensation offered was quite fair.
Although the Yongcheng Mercenary Team of the Fang Family was small, comprising only five members, their performance the previous day had been notable, and thus they were included on the list.
Unlike other survivors, after their initial surprise, they quickly calmed down. Although it was forced conscription, considering the higher-ups’ actions were meant to rescue more survivors, they harbored no complaints.
Moreover, as Fang Yuyang and Qu Qianhe had successfully absorbed the Elemental Crystal the night before, their bodies underwent further transformations, significantly enhancing their talents. With a night of cultivation, their strength had further developed. Having a semblance of assurance about entering the city, they naturally had even fewer complaints.
Accordingly, they didn’t delay and directly went to the task window to accept the rescue mission. Because it was a mandatory task, each person received 100 contribution points upon acceptance. Additionally, since they picked up the mission early, each person was specially rewarded with an extra 10 contribution points.
As for the handgun and bullets, they would receive them once they met the captain assigned to lead them at the designated location.
After picking up the task, the family didn’t linger in the Task Hall and immediately headed to the gathering spot with their voucher. Conveniently located at the East Gate of the Safe Zone, they reached quickly by car.
When they arrived, the captain responsible for leading them and his soldiers were already present. His team comprised 30 soldiers, and four large trucks were prepared to transport the rescued survivors.
