Chapter 393: Chapter 211 Rest Day_3

The third plan was similar to the current operation of Shadow, with just a few alterations to the details.

Maya stood up, "The Left County Hotel task is not mandatory, and considering the manpower the hotel mission would consume, I think we can suspend it. There are two things we need to do now. One is to continue clearing out the mall, which is a long-term and monotonous job, and everyone can sign up for it as they like. The other is to harvest Blood Zombies via the air corridor to obtain serums as a trade commodity. Only by securing advanced Skill Books can the base develop further. Besides, we don’t have a biochemist, so we can only deal with infections through serums."

Maya continued, "No more than two people should rest each day, and those two must not be the ones who rested yesterday. If more than two people wish to rest, say four, then we compare their last rest day. If all four had the same rest day, then we decide by drawing lots."

The two who rested the day before yesterday and the two from the day before that have to work; those who rested the day before yesterday must go to work. The greatest benefit of the Shadow team is that no one wants to be a parasite of the base. Everyone has a mentality of contributing to the development of the base and is willing to lend their strength to it.

Everyone agreed with Maya’s proposal and accepted the slightly adjusted base operating rules. Lin Wu signed up for the air corridor, and considering its dangers, Maya was assigned to the air corridor team. Emerald Feather, as a doctor, should not wander too far from the base and was also assigned to the air corridor team. Her job was to transport materials and pull ropes.

No one chose to rest. The spirit of making contributions aside, everyone was very willing to go shopping at the mall. Although the items they brought back were deemed trash by the system, they were seen as consumable goods that could waste time and provide relaxation by everyone. One wouldn’t die without drinking black tea, so why drink it? For that reason, the system classified black tea as trash, but Lin Wu enjoyed drinking black tea. He was willing to spend time every day brewing and savoring tea; that was life. Perhaps that’s also the biggest difference between humans and AI.

...

The area where the Sawmill was located was the industrial district of Left County, which housed many factories and warehouses, and also included rail tracks, commercial streets, schools, and other amenities. Office buildings were rarer, even though there was a demand for them. The main function of office buildings wasn’t purely for office space; they also needed to receive clients and handle official business. Hence, many office buildings were situated in the core areas of a city.

There weren’t many tall buildings in the industrial district. The tallest was the Left County Hotel, followed by the Left County Office Building, which was the only commercial office building over 10 stories tall in the industrial district. It was also the closest one to the Sawmill that could be reached via the air corridor.

Standing atop a power tower, Lin Wu handed the binoculars to Maya, "Around 1400 meters, passing 7 power towers, and the link goes to the rooftop of the office building."

Maya said, "Is there a transformer on the rooftop? This is rare, but as long as we can ensure a solid grounding, it’s possible to install the transformer on the rooftop." High-voltage electricity flows through the wires on the towering power towers in daily life, and residents can only use it after it’s been through a transformer.

Maya asked, "Which floor is the Blood Heart on?"

Lin Wu replied, "It seems to be in the upper half."

Maya said, "We don’t have the equipment to cross power towers." They didn’t have a rope long enough. Even if they did, Emerald Feather wouldn’t be able to pull it back.

Lin Wu said, "We will have to rely on my pulling method, using each power tower as a unit to drag you across. However, this is a huge project and would waste a lot of time. If you really want to farm Serum, the first method is to time it right, with sleep at 8 o’clock in the morning on the first day and departure around 1 o’clock. You’d return by evening on the third day. This way, you’ll only miss one sleep cycle."

Lin Wu said, "The second method is to establish a temporary sub-base."

Maya asked, "Set up a temporary sub-base in Blood Mist area?" The Blood Heart regularly mobilizes groups of zombies to attack players within the Blood Mist area.

Lin Wu said, "Yes, take turns standing guard for the night, rest, and after chopping enough for a week, we come back."

Maya inquired, "Can you hold out?"

Lin Wu responded, "If I can’t hold out, I can slack off; all you need is someone willing to stand guard for five hours each night."

Maya said, "We’ll need to bring two building material packs. What about food?"

"I think we should be able to find food in the office building. If not, I can always hunt rats." A Hunter bringing back at least one mammal daily could secure food for the base, but only one at most. Lin Wu regretted, "It’s a pity the system only recognizes the animals hunted daily." Otherwise, catching a bunch of rats to stuff in the backpack and taking out one each day to exchange for food would be too convenient.
