Trembling At A High Altitude

Chapter 1036

After eating pastries, the street was relatively calm.

Occasionally, a few lone zombies would wander here, seeming to smell something, approach the restaurant and then leave again.

Li Teng has been paying attention to the next phase of tasks released on his watch.

However, a few hours passed, and the watch was very quiet, with no tasks issued.

"The three-day mission won't just pass like this, right?" Dong Qi asked Yang Shunli in a low voice after looking at his watch again.

"I hope so." Yang Shunli answered Dong Qi in a low voice.

"It's impossible. There will be a follow-up mission soon, and it will become more and more dangerous!" Noto Yuki was not far away from the two of them. He heard the conversation between the two and interjected a few words.

"How do you know? Have you participated in this kind of mission before?" Yang Shunli asked Noto Yuki.

"No, I guessed it." Noto Yuki shook his head.

Yang Shunli fell silent, with an expression that said, "You are just guessing what to say."

In the end, Yuki Noto really guessed it.

Not long after she finished speaking, a new task was posted on her watch.

They are required to escort a family of five in a restaurant to the next mission point within a specified time. Once someone in the family of five dies or fails to arrive at the next mission point on time, the mission will be declared failed!

Even Li Teng, who was very experienced, frowned when he saw this task.

When Li Teng participated in plot missions before, he had experienced it deeply. The most difficult missions that he disliked doing the most were escorting NPCs to certain places.

Because this kind of task cannot be achieved by one's own subjective efforts, but also requires the cooperation of NPC.

This family of five, the parents and the son are okay, but the two daughters are definitely not fuel-efficient.

That's not all.

None of his three companions were professionals. Except for Yuki Noto, who was a bit strange, the other two were only of good mental quality, but they were also complete novices in terms of doing tasks.

It would be great if they could not hold back during the execution of this mission.

…

The time limit for the task was one hour. In order to complete the task better, Li Teng decided to unify his thoughts, negotiate with each other, and cooperate with the three companions.

After a few minutes of quick discussion, the four of them had almost unified their thoughts.

Of course, it was mainly Li Teng who was analyzing and talking, and no one else raised any objections.

The difficulty was convincing the family to leave the restaurant and head to the mission site.

It would be impossible for a normal person to be willing to leave, right? After all, there is enough food here, and a wave of zombies has been successfully avoided.

This one can only lie, saying that after receiving news, an alien spacecraft will land nearby, and a more powerful zombie wave is approaching.

After successfully persuading them to go on the road, he also had to persuade them not to run around. Li Teng went to the outpost to conduct reconnaissance. After confirming safety, others escorted the family to follow up.

Just as everyone was thinking about how to persuade the family to leave, the owner of the restaurant took the initiative to find Li Teng on his cell phone.

"I can still receive text messages on my mobile phone, saying that the government has organized a rescue and used armed forces to clear a light rail. If we can get to the nearest light rail station before five o'clock in the afternoon, we can take the light rail to enter the government's rescue settlement. A large number of armed forces are concentrated there to ensure our safety.

"Do you think we should go there?"

The boss pointed to the map on his mobile phone and asked Li Teng for advice.

The nearest light rail station on the map on the boss's mobile phone is the next mission point in the mission prompt on Li Teng's watch.

Under normal circumstances, Li Teng would definitely refuse to enter the so-called rescue settlement if there was no mission.

Why risk going to a rescue settlement when you stay in a restaurant and have plenty of water and food?

If there are not many people in the rescue settlement, safety is not guaranteed.

If there are many people in a rescue settlement, there may not be enough food distributed there.

But because the task had been arranged, Li Teng had no choice.

"I think we should go to the rescue settlement. It must be much safer there than here. We were somewhat lucky to escape the previous wave of corpses. If there is another wave of corpses, if there are one or two people with a particularly sensitive sense of smell, If they find us, we won't even be able to escape." Li Teng answered the restaurant owner.

"I'm the one raising a family, so it's a bit troublesome to go there!" The restaurant owner was a little hesitant.

"We are a team, and we will definitely protect you." Li Teng answered the restaurant owner.

"Yes, we are all a family now. If you restrain your sons and daughters and don't let them scream and run around, there will be no problem."

"Yes, yes! The government's rescue and resettlement site is better! Let's go quickly! Don't waste time, there won't be this store after this village!"

Yuki Noto, Yang Shunli, and Dong Qi also quickly echoed Li Teng's statement.

The restaurant owner was a little hesitant at first, but now that these people were saying this, he walked over and persuaded his family members.

Everyone was a little anxious looking at the time, but it was not advisable to rush them too much. At this time, it was better for them to make their own decisions. Pushing them too hard would make them suspicious. Once they decided not to go, their mission would be But there was no way to finish it.

Taking advantage of this little time, Li Teng packed up some food and some tools that might be used in the restaurant, and found and made some simple weapons for Noto Yuki and the three of them.

"Have you decided whether you want to go? The four of us are ready to leave. We can only wait for you for two more minutes."

Five minutes later, seeing that the restaurant owner and his family had not yet settled the discussion, Noto Yuki went over at Li Teng's instruction to tactfully urge them.

"We agreed to go together." The restaurant owner replied Noto Yuki, mainly because his wife and eldest daughter were unwilling to go, but now that most people were leaving, they had to compromise.

According to Li Teng's idea, it would be safer for them to smear the alien corpse's insect liquid on their bodies before setting off.

However, the insect fluid inside the two corpses on the ground solidified half an hour after the corpses were cut open, and there was no way to smear them on their bodies.

Moreover, the protection time of these insect juices is very limited. It solidifies faster when applied to the body. It solidifies into a layer of green skin in about ten minutes. Although the green skin also has a fishy bug smell, the smell is much lighter than when it is in liquid form. , it is conceivable that the protection ability will also be greatly reduced.

Everything else is ready.

After observing from the window that there were no strange corpses on the street outside, the restaurant owner opened the rolling shutter.

Although the restaurant owner has tried to be careful not to make any noise, the noise from the rolling shutters cannot be controlled.

Three alien corpses nearby were alerted and rushed towards this side together.

Chapter 1037

The restaurant owner was frightened and quickly pulled the rolling shutter down again.

Li Teng stopped the restaurant owner, and the family finally worked up the courage to leave. If they went back now, they might lose the courage to leave.

Li Teng must give them confidence at this time.

But having said that, it is still very difficult to deal with three alien zombies at the same time.

The running speed of the alien zombies is slower than that of normal humans. As long as the tactics are appropriate, Li Teng does not worry about his own safety.

Li Teng ran towards the three zombies, and when he got closer, he changed direction, causing the three zombies coming from different directions to form a line and chase Li Teng behind him.

Li Teng deliberately slowed down his pace, and after seeing the right moment, he suddenly turned around, stabbed, stirred, and pulled out the stick with his iron drill, killing the alien zombie running at the front in an instant with extremely skillful movements.

After finishing it, he turned around and ran away. After a while, he repeated the previous actions and killed another alien corpse in one go.

Then another one.

"These things look very vicious, but they are actually easy to kill!" the restaurant owner's youngest daughter expressed her opinion.

"Haha, what do you think? Do you know what he has been through? Do you know how strong his fighting power is? Try it with other ordinary people? You don't know how you died." Yuki Noto replied to the little daughter. .

"Don't be so mysterious. These things are so stupid. With a little training for ordinary people, there should be no problems." The younger daughter still had a look of disdain on her face.

Noto Yuki fell silent.

To protect this kind of NPC, this mission is difficult!

After killing the three alien corpses, Li Teng immediately cut open their stomachs and smeared the green and smelly insect juice on his body and face.

Others followed suit and smeared the smelly insect juice on themselves.

When Li Teng applied the new insect juice, he first had to peel off the existing solidified insect juice skin on his face.

After peeling off those green insect juice skins, he found that his face seemed to have become thicker!

Not only did it become thicker, but it also became very flexible. Even if he dug hard with his nails, it wouldn't break.

Although Li Teng has always been thick-skinned, his thickness was different this time.

It should be... some kind of mutation?

I just don’t know whether this mutation is good or bad?

Considering that he only had to stay in this mission world for three days, Li Teng felt that as long as he did not turn into a zombie within these three days, it would not be a big problem.

After thinking of this, Li Teng simply took off his clothes and pants, leaving only a pair of shorts covering the key parts, and then wiped the insect juice all over his body.

Everyone else looked at Li Teng in shock, probably because they thought his behavior was too radical.

Only Noto Yuki shook her head in disappointment. She thought that everyone would...

Just when he thought of this, Noto Yuki saw Li Teng grab a handful of insect fluid and put it in, smearing it inside. There really wasn't a single thing missing.

Noto Yuki suddenly realized something...

There is a reason for Li Teng to do this! They probably discovered a secret that the rest of them had not discovered yet. One thing is certain and has been verified, that is, the more insect fluid you apply on your body, the safer you will be when walking on the road.

So Noto Yuki ignored the stench of the insect fluid and tried his best to wipe it on himself, even inside his clothes.

Yang Shunli and Dong Qi saw that Li Teng and Noto Yuki were doing this, and like Noto Yuki, they also thought it must be of great benefit, so they also smeared it on themselves.

"Don't put it on the top of your head..." Dong Qi reminded Yang Shunli.

"What's wrong?" Yang Shunli was a little surprised.

"Look at the green top of the head, how beautiful it is!" Yuki Noto complained a few words beside her.

"Uh..." Yang Shunli finally understood what was wrong.

The restaurant owner also asked his family to smear the insect juice on their faces and bodies. Others were fine, but the younger daughter was a little reluctant because she thought the insect juice was too fishy and smelly.

But under the intimidation and coercion of the restaurant owner, the younger daughter smeared the insect juice on her face and body even though she was reluctant.

With everything ready, Li Teng led everyone to the next mission point.

Before he had gone far, Li Teng stopped the people behind him with gestures.

Two alien corpses rushed out from nearby, roaring and pounced on everyone.

They completely ignored Li Teng who was walking at the front.

"Can't this insect liquid protect us?" The restaurant owner was so scared that his legs were weak. If the smell of the insect liquid couldn't protect them, he wouldn't dare to walk outside like this.

"Insect liquid can only hide the smell, but now they see us." Li Teng explained quickly, then shouted to attract the attention of the two zombies, and led them in a circle.

In a short time, Li Teng killed two strange corpses with ease.

"They also saw you. Why didn't they attack you? Instead, they came directly to attack us?" The restaurant owner was still doubtful.

"Because they are all naked! I am almost naked too! Plus I have their scent on me, so when they see me, they still treat me as the same kind!" Li Teng answered the restaurant owner.

Everyone finally understood why Li Teng took off all but one piece of clothing. Was this the purpose?

Of course, this was not entirely Li Teng's purpose, but to spread the insect juice all over his body to make the skin tougher and thicker, thereby increasing his ability to survive in the world of this mission.

"Should we take it off?" Dong Qi asked Yang Shunli.

"Wouldn't it be seen by everyone if I took it off?" Yang Shunli had a headache.

No wonder the green hair on my head just now was a sign!

"It's not like you have to take off your clothes...is life important or something else?" Dong Qi curled her lips. Between image and life, she felt it was more reliable to choose life, otherwise she would be killed by these alien corpses, and in the end she would be killed. Not turning into a naked corpse?

"Okay." Yang Shunli had no choice but to agree to Dong Qi's proposal.

So the two of them also imitated Li Teng's operation.

"Ha, I didn't tell you earlier if I knew something like this." Noto Yuki scolded Li Teng, and then he also learned to operate.

"In this case, let's take off our clothes too." The restaurant owner said to the family.

"Isn't it good?" The little daughter showed an expression of intolerance. It was already hard for her to accept smearing these smelly things on her face and clothes, and now she had to take off her clothes and smear it all over her body?

"If you want to survive, this is the only way." The restaurant owner said with a serious face.

"Okay." Although the younger daughter was reluctant, she could only comply.

After a while, everyone threw away their clothes and smeared their bodies with insect juice. Then, under the leadership of Li Teng, they began to learn to imitate the way the zombies walked.

In this way, as long as they are not too close and don't let the alien zombies see that their mouthparts look different, the problem shouldn't be too big.
