Chapter 545: Chapter 271 Merchandise

To make Concealment Medicine, one first must accept the task in the infirmary. After accepting the mission, one must use melee cold weapons to kill zombies, with a certain chance of obtaining zombie eyeballs. Pharmacists can create Concealment Medicine using eyeballs along with various drugs. Although Shadow does not have pharmacists, Starlight, who is a biochemist, can also make Concealment Medicine, though the downside is that more materials are required.

Shadow appears strong and indeed is strong but still has many shortcomings, such as the lack of professions related to automobiles and manufacturing like goldsmiths and mechanics. It also lacks specialized pharmaceutical skills like those of a pharmacist. The game’s basic Life Skills are not many and can basically be summarized as clothing, food, crafting, agriculture, trade, and fishing. However, there are many specialized skills that the basic skills can be upgraded to, such as electricians, carpenters, blacksmiths, stonemasons, pharmacologists, piping study, motor repair, mechanical engineering, landscape gardening, medicinal botany, nutritionists, sleep psychology, and so on.

Stone believes that no matter how many people a base has, it’s difficult to cover all areas, and the correct strategic thought is to fully utilize everyone’s Life Skills to develop the base.

Previously, due to the wastage of medicinal materials, Shadow had not specially prepared Concealment Medicine and could only make it as needed on the spot.

Under Maya’s command, everyone took up the task and went out to kill the zombies. Despite being psychologically prepared for the zombies’ charge, because they were on the edge of the safe zone, there were always some who would be complacent, unable to hold their ground, and would start running toward home while shouting, "Help!"

The one shouting for help was Lin Wu, who, being just an assassin, had some difficulty fighting two zombies head-on. Shana and Maya intercepted the zombies while Lin Wu sneakily went behind and killed one with each stab, not any slower than Martha.

Lin Wu, "Got an eyeball." These were considered spoils of the mission, similar to the bounty tasks Maya had accepted before, where they had to chop off limbs.

Everyone ignored him and continued fighting. Soon after, Lin Wu shouted on the channel, "Two eyeballs."

A while later, Lin Wu shouted, "Three eyeballs."

At that point, everyone couldn’t hold back and started discussing, "Why don’t I ever get any?"

"Me neither," Little Knife added hotly.

"It’s your own fault," Lin Wu said. "You crushed their heads. Where will you find the eyeballs?"

Little Knife realized that made sense and grabbed a zombie to throw it down before stomping on its chest. But stomping on the chest didn’t give any extra chance, so the unfortunate zombie was stomped on dozens of times until Dawn seemingly couldn’t stand it anymore and simply counted it as dead.

Little Knife excitedly said, "Two, two eyeballs."

Starlight said, "That’s enough, we don’t have many medicinal materials in stock."

As Lin Wu walked toward the infirmary, he asked, "Little Knife, didn’t you specifically go to gather herbs on the day of the typhoon?"

"Mind your own business," Little Knife said curtly, then weakly added, "I’ll just work overtime starting tomorrow if need be."

...

Stone started the armored vehicle, the engine of Behemoth roared to life. After checking the fuel level, the armored vehicle began its first deployment. Zombie waves, scrap cars, roadblocks, they were nothing in the face of the armored vehicle.

Lin Wu stood at the machine gun position in the middle of the armored vehicle, turning the heavy machine gun and whimsically mimicking the "tat-tat-tat" firing sound as he swung the gun barrel, pretending to shoot in all directions. The girls all thought Lin Wu was extremely childish, but to their surprise, as soon as Lin Wu got down, Snow Egg took his place, and Horse Soul queued up behind. Aside from the heavy machine gun’s tactile experience, the armored vehicle’s unstoppable power also caused adrenaline levels to surge among the boys.

After having his fun, Snow Egg came down and excitedly stated, "Lin Wu, we’ve got to get a tank sometime."

"A tank? I don’t know about tanks," Lin Wu glanced at his personal computer on his wrist. "But I know where there’s an airplane." He knew something about it, but not much; he wondered whether airplanes consumed fuel. If it was a hundred liters per hundred kilometers, he believed Maya would still reluctantly agree to it.

Lin Wu asked Shana, "Can you fly a plane?"

Shana nodded, "Yes, I have a license for small private planes."

Lin Wu asked, "Do airplanes burn a lot of fuel?"

Shana replied, "Not too bad. A nine-seater plane uses about fifty liters per hundred kilometers or so. It depends on the plane. Generally, compared to cars of the same weight, the fuel consumption of a plane is about three times that of a car, between two and five times."

That little? Then no need for you. Lin Wu thought to himself that if the fuel consumption were too high, he would proceed without approval. But hearing that the consumption was similar to that of the armored car, of course, he would bring Maya along. After all, her expression had already shown how much she liked the airplane, and Shana probably wouldn’t be interested.

Shana added, "However, airplanes are not like cars. With cars, as long as the main components aren’t problematic, they can still be driven. But with airplanes, even a single screw being loose can lead to a flight accident."

Pretending not to hear, Lin Wu nodded, "Oh, I see."

Stone took the walkie-talkie, "The rest of you, get ready."

There was a flurry of weapon checks, making it feel quite like they were gearing up for a war.

After the armored car stopped, Lin Wu and Shana holding their guns came out of the back, taking positions on both sides, with Maya also coming down from the co-driver’s seat. Within a few seconds, everyone had exited and, together, they consumed the Concealment Medicine. The armored car roared and waited in place for a while before leaving.

The zombies on the scene chased after the armored car, while those who had taken the Concealment Medicine lay still on the ground for a full minute.

After the minute had passed and the effect of the medicine wore off, everyone joined forces to secure the safe zone, then engaged in talks with the trader. As expected, he was the mysterious Fortress wandering merchant, and the variety of items he sold was astounding. Why could a single backpack carry so many goods? Because he was carrying cards.

The first thing Lin Wu saw was an air conditioner, a central unit that could provide heating and cooling for three buildings, naturally under the condition of having electricity. The price was 1000 honors. Seeing the price, Lin Wu immediately drew his dagger, thinking that even with half a month’s tasks in gunfights and intense battles, he had only earned 1200 honor points. An air conditioner... to be honest, it was worth it. Feeling the malicious heat waves from the ground, Lin Wu longed for the days of air conditioning.
