The system is three years ahead of schedule, but the apocalypse has never come!

The emergence of improved portable communicators, advanced intelligent machines and surface shuttles has had a profound impact on Taixia.

The most obvious of them all.

Just like what Zheng Zhong said: An era of bounty hunters has begun.

After using improved portable communicators and surface shuttles to reconnect more than a thousand cities and thousands of towns in Taixia Kingdom, the rescue corps headquarters headed by Li Dongzhen and Li Xiangling made further contributions to their establishment. The degree system has been optimized.

In simple terms.

You can gain contribution points by rescuing survivors in Taixia Kingdom.

Hunting high-level zombies can earn contribution points.

Turn in the zombie crystal core to gain contribution points.

Turn in the power seeds to gain contribution points.

Turn in the treasures of heaven, materials and earth to get contribution points.

Bringing useful information to the rescue corps can earn contribution points.

Completing the Rescue Legion's wanted missions will earn you contribution points.

Contribution... has almost become another universal currency system in the apocalypse.

The attribute-enhancing potions needed for human evolution need to be redeemed using contribution points. As time goes by, attribute-enhancing potions have been completely replaced by them because of their advantages of fast absorption, good effect, and no risk of distortion and alienation. Zombie crystal core.

Except for a handful of evolvers who were on the run for committing evil and were listed on wanted orders and blacklists by the rescue corps, almost no one improved their four-dimensional attributes by absorbing zombie crystal nuclei.

After continuous updates and iterations, the Red Queen has become more clear about the production and classification of attribute-enhancing potions. It is not only divided into stages, but also into segments.

The number of intelligent machines that are gradually becoming popular and can replace humans to do most things requires contribution points to redeem them.

The surface shuttle, which is synonymous with high-end and fashion and can be called the first home of bounty hunters, requires contribution points to redeem it.

Even when you encounter some troubles, you can even consume your contribution points and ask the rescue corps to help you!

in this case.

The pursuit of contribution has become the instinct of those strong survivors.

certainly.

Compared with the zombies in domestic cities that are almost captive and no longer a threat, the Rescue Corps hopes that the bounty hunters will target zombies outside of Taixia.

They don't even need to enforce policies.

Just adjust the contribution from hunting domestic zombies to half that of hunting foreign zombies... No one is interested in the domestic zombies that are almost kept in captivity.

after all.

To become a bounty hunter, you must either own a surface shuttle yourself, or join a team that owns a surface shuttle; or you can take a surface shuttle specially run for "rental".

The so-called domestic and foreign travel is just an extra hour or two of traveling time.

The income is doubled!

nature.

Countries other than Taixia have become the first choice for bounty hunters to hunt zombies and obtain zombie crystal cores.

besides.

Once high-level zombies or alien beasts are discovered in a certain area abroad, even if they are unable to hunt them, as long as they bring the corresponding information to the rescue corps... they will still receive a batch of contribution rewards!

in this case.

Not only the original camp builders, but also the lone wolves of the apocalypse have become bounty hunters, starting to run around for contribution points and becoming addicted to it.

Many ordinary survivors also started to become bounty hunters.

after all.

Zombies and evolution are the real themes of this era.

With the expansion of the bounty hunter group, more and more zombie crystal cores, supernatural seeds, natural materials and earthly treasures, strange mineral deposits, etc. have gathered in the hands of the rescue corps.

The overall strength of the rescue corps has also expanded.

Far above bounty hunters!

Ever since.

In this apocalypse, when the apocalypse outside Taixia is still cruel and despairing... within Taixia, the so-called apocalypse has become something else.

And after starting this great era with my own hands.

Su Bai once again hid in the [Tiangong] shelter.

The construction of the City of Dawn.

Updated iterations of various technologies and products.

As long as there are no zombies or alien beasts that cannot be dealt with by the rescue corps... Su Bai will be immersed in the research and development and promotion of the technology tree of the [Tiangong] Sanctuary for the rest of the time.

2027, August 21.

It has been two years and one month since the end of the world came, and nearly a year and a half has passed since the era of bounty hunters began.

The edge of Taixia Kingdom.

Spring City.

In the hall of the Bounty Hunters Association.

A middle-aged hunter who retired due to injury and joined the semi-official organization of the Bounty Hunter Association sat at his work station and took out a form and a pen.

Opposite him sat a young man who looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old and looked a little nervous.

They don't look like Taixia people.

Looks a bit mixed.

Maybe it’s a mix of Taixia and foreigners?

but.

This is not something you should consider.

He picked up the pen and started asking: "Name~"?"

"Mo Xiaoqi." The young man with a face somewhat similar to a Taixia person, but with an obvious mixed-race style whispered.

"Gender, male, I can see this." The middle-aged man casually checked on the form: "Age?"

"Ten...eighteen years old." The boy continued to answer.

Either he was malnourished or he had falsely reported his name.

The middle-aged hunter glanced at the boy again and filled in the number 18 on the form - it was just a registration for novice hunters. Even the official information review of bounty hunters was not strict. Their bounty hunter association even more That’s it.

"Rank?"

"The beginning of the third stage."

not bad.

"Superpower type?"

"Water attribute.

Average.

"equipment?"

"A first-generation advanced intelligent machine, a first-generation small ground shuttle, a Type III desert vulture pistol, and a third-grade alloy long knife.

A little behind.

The middle-aged hunter shook his head gently.

The first generation of advanced omnics were already designed a year and a half ago.

Now those powerful bounty hunter lone wolves, as well as the bounty hunter team, have updated their omnics to the latest elite omnics, which are capable of mid-level three levels and are compatible with various modules. They are all-powerful.

On the other hand, even a small ground shuttle, even if it is the first generation model, is still of some value, at least you don't have to take other people's shuttles.

As for the Type III desert vulture pistol and the Type III alloy long knife, they can only be regarded as the basic configuration for this level.

"The purpose of becoming a bounty hunter?"

"Get contribution points and improve your own strength." The young man thought for a while and carefully added: "Then, join a certain base city..."

The former is a process, and the latter is the purpose.

After writing down everything the young man said, the middle-aged hunter put down the pen in his hand and sighed softly: "Young man, are you too real for us?"

"It's not too important. If you want to join a base city...even a third-level base city, there are very strict conditions.

The middle-aged hunter's question seemed to break the disguise that the young man had carefully maintained.

His face turned red, he was a little anxious, but he stumbled a little and said: "I...I have Tai Zhong blood...My...father is a Tai Zhong person..." My mother is from South Vietnam..."

"People from South Vietnam..." The middle-aged hunter nodded, with a smile on his face: "Since you have the blood of our Taixia people, the conditions for joining the base city will be much lower."

"However, it is still not easy for a newcomer like you to join Base City through your own efforts.

"Uncle, what should I do?" Feeling the kindness of this middle-aged hunter towards him, the young man's eyes also brought a bit of brilliance.

"Let's join the new group first."

The middle-aged hunter smiled and said: "The leaders of the new group are basically powerful bounty hunters certified by the official. "Leading the new group and protecting the novice hunters are also the official task indicators for them."

"First, follow the new team to familiarize yourself with the work content of a bounty hunter. Once your strength is improved and your equipment is updated, you will be able to take on bounty missions on your own."

"As for joining the base city..."

The middle-aged hunter took out a form from under his work station and handed it to the boy: "The third-level base city is relatively easy. The second-level base city and the first-level base city depend on your own experience. .

on the form.

The requirements for non-Taixia people to join Taixia Kingdom’s base cities at all levels have been listed above.

It's hard.

Very harsh.

Even if it is the lowest level three base city, a necessary condition for non-Taixia people to join it is to make a significant contribution to the Taixia country or to the rescue of the Taixia people!

On the contrary, Feitaixiren, who has Taiye bloodline, only needs a certain level and contribution amount to join.

This is true for third-level base cities.

What's more, it's a second-level base city and a first-level base city?

As for the only City of Dawn in the world, known as the Heavenly Palace and Wonderland... let alone a non-Taixia person! Even if it is a real Taixia person, it does not mean that anyone who wants to join can join. of!

It is basically impossible for an outsider like him.

never mind.

Don't aim too high.

Even if I just join the third-level base city... I am already much better than the survivors in South Vietnam.

few.

I have the blood of Taixia, and I still have the opportunity to work hard and fight for it.

And they... didn't even have a chance to fight.

"In half an hour, the leader of the new recruit group named 'Black Cat' will come to the association to recruit people. Although she is a little strict, she is very reliable in terms of strength and experience, and her past evaluations are also good. Not bad, you should learn a lot."

The middle-aged hunter flipped over the record book in his hand and said, "Just join Black Cat's newcomer group and just wait in Area A of the newcomer recruitment area."

"If she doesn't like you... just say that Broken Tooth recommended you.

"Thank you, uncle!"

Bowing respectfully to the middle-aged hunter, this young man named Mo Xiaoqi, who was half Taixia, ran towards the newcomer recruitment area with brisk steps.

Mo Xiaoqi waited in Area A of the recruitment area for more than half an hour. He was wearing black leather armor, a gun holster on his leg, a big sword on his back, and a scar on his face. He looked about twenty years old. A young woman of five or six years old appeared in Area A of the recruitment area.

Seeing this figure who, although not particularly beautiful, exuded the aura of a royal lady and was particularly dashing and heroic, Mo Xiaoqi's eyes lit up and she hurried over:

"Hello... Hello! Are you the leader of the Black Cat Group? I... I want to join your new group!"

Black Cat glanced at Mo Xiaoqi: "A woman disguised as a man? The painting is good, but the details are a bit lacking. Your strength is a bit lacking. I carry out more dangerous exploration missions, which is not suitable for someone like you."

little girl.

His disguise was seen through by the black cat at a glance, and Mo Xiaoqi became even more nervous: "But... the old man with broken teeth from the Bounty Hunter Association recommended me to come to you..."

....What is Dad doing? Trying to get people here again? Could it be that this stunted little girl has any potential?" Black Cat frowned, thought for a moment and said, "I would like to join as well.

Okay, we agreed in advance that after starting the mission, all actions will be under my command! If you are in danger because of your unauthorized actions, I will not save you!"

"Yeah! I know, I will obey the order!"

Mo Xiaoqi breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly agreed.

"Also, the identity of a girl is more troublesome. After all, your strength is not yet strong enough to ignore some dangers." Black Cat added: "Since you are disguised, when you reach the rank

Before reaching the third level peak, continue to pretend.

"Okay, I understand." Mo Xiaoqi said.

Next, Mo Xiaoqi followed Black Cat as she selected people in the novice recruitment area.

There are three principles for black cats to choose people.

The first is to be obedient.

The second one is pleasing to the eye.

The third is that the strength cannot be too bad, and it must reach at least the middle of the third level.

After selecting nine more people in the newcomer recruitment area, and gathering a new group of ten people, Black Cat took them back to the Bounty Hunter Association to register, and then entered her medium-sized underground ship.

Surround the shuttle.

As the captain of an extraordinary bounty hunter team, Black Cat's surface shuttle is naturally the latest model.

Not only is it faster, has stronger defense, and is equipped with many reconnaissance and liaison modules, but even the weapon modules have reached level 3.9, which is enough to kill those below level four.

Any zombies and alien beasts.

Compared with Black Cat's surface shuttle, the first-generation surface shuttle owned by Mo Xiaoqi is already an antique.

Since he was with the group, Mo Xiaoqi no longer had to drive his own surface shuttle, and still parked it on the apron of the Bounty Hunter Association.

New people enter.

The surface shuttle took off, and Black Cat introduced himself and his team to these newcomers for the first time: "My name is Black Cat. You should already know this. My rank is the fourth level.

Duan, not too high, but not too low either. "

"My Black Cat team has ten core members, and their strength is basically at the peak of the third level to the early stage of the fourth level."

"The missions that our team is better at performing are exploration and reconnaissance missions, that is, going to areas outside Taixia that have not been explored by the rescue corps to conduct early reconnaissance and exploration

"See if there are zombies and strange beasts that are more difficult to spawn in those areas."

“Because it is a reconnaissance and exploration mission, the areas we go to are generally areas that have not been touched by other bounty hunters, and the danger is much greater than areas that have been explored.

"But it is simple and fast, and the contribution rewards obtained after submitting the task are also relatively generous."

"If any of you are interested in this type of mission, you can pay more attention to our mission methods, which will be helpful when you perform related missions in the future.

"If you are not careful enough and vigilant enough... wait until this new group is over, you should join those zombie hunting groups.

"This kind of mission that requires boldness, carefulness, and extreme caution is not suitable for you. On the contrary, the kind of zombie hunting mission that only requires killing is more suitable for you."

As expected, the black cat is just like the middle-aged hunter, with a bad temper.

While she was speaking, no questions were allowed, no interruptions were allowed, and no distractions were allowed. Everyone had to listen to her words quietly.

but.

During this process, Mo Xiaoqi could feel that the words spoken by Black Cat...were all very useful and valuable experiences and lessons!

She may not have a very good temper.

But she is a really nice person, and she really considers them newbie hunters!

The speed of the latest surface shuttle is much faster than the first generation surface shuttle.

By the time Black Cat finished speaking, the destination was almost reached.

The speed of the surface shuttle began to slow down.

Black Cat also began to explain their mission this time: "This time our mission is to find out whether there are any mourners or strange beasts of city level and level five or above in the City of Angels.

"It's only been two years since the end of the world. Everyone should still remember the name of the City of Angels, right?"

A weird smile appeared on the black cat's face, whether it was pride or sarcasm, and he said: "Yes, it's America, which was once one of the two poles of the Blue Star alongside Taixia...

...second biggest city!"

"That's...where we are now!",
