LRAB Chapter 435 The System's Blame
Chapter 435 The System's Blame
Mei Lin's palms were dry and warm, and the pressure of his handshake was just right, neither too light nor too heavy.
"Captain Fu, let's not beat around the bush." He released his grip, his gaze sweeping over the neatly arranged vehicles and busy team members of the salary train convoy with a slightly complicated expression.
Finally, the focus shifted to the dark red figure sitting cross-legged on the roof of the Nirvana vehicle.
This is at least sequence 6, or even sequence 7.
Because Xu Si's perception of his energy had become extremely blurred.
Xu Si, the main player of the Guangming team, has seen two of them.
As for the other Sequence 5 Xu Si mentioned by the old smoker, we haven't seen him yet.
And Xu Si, the mysterious array master, was also nowhere to be seen.
"We have witnessed the strength of your team. We are here for two reasons: first, to pay a visit, and second, to hear Captain Fu's views on conquering Jiangcheng."
Fu Xiaojian raised an eyebrow slightly, not expecting the other party to be so direct.
"Team Leader Mei, we've just arrived and don't know the specifics yet, so it's too early to offer our opinions."
Mei Lin smiled, a smile that carried an irresistible honesty.
"Then let me explain the current situation."
The two walked to an open space and sat down in folding chairs.
Zhao Tiesheng and Tashan stood on either side, like silent door gods.
"Jiangcheng, before the apocalypse, had a permanent population of over ten million and was one of the largest industrial cities in Central China. After the apocalypse, the city was occupied by the supernatural, but strangely enough, the main structure of the city was well preserved, without any signs of large-scale destruction."
Fu Xiaojian frowned slightly.
"We're also puzzled by this," Mei Lin said, seemingly noticing his question.
"Normally, a city where eerie forces reside should be devastated, but Jiangcheng is not. Its buildings, roads, bridges, and even some infrastructure are still intact."
"We speculate that there are several main reasons!"
"One of them is the strange high-positioned structure that occupies about one-third of the territory—the Obsessive Ghost."
"A strange spirit?" Fu Xiaojian thought immediately.
"yes!"
"Please continue!"
"We speculate that she possesses at least level 8 bizarre strength, making her extremely difficult to deal with. Fortunately, she seems to have some kind of obsession with the central urban area and rarely comes out."
"Last time when one of our Sequence 4s went in to investigate, even though we were discovered, we only received a minor lesson and were not killed. This is unusual and can be considered good news!" Mei Lin seemed to be lost in memories.
"Secondly, perhaps because of the strange suppression from that high position, the strange things here are almost all calm, and there are very few riots, such as the Six-Eyed Island Frog."
"You've probably already heard about the unnamed convoy. The taming of a Level 6 anomaly is unheard of before the apocalypse, but it did happen. Moreover, that island frog has an extremely strong sense of territory; it occupies the lake area on the east side of Jiangcheng, forming a delicate balance with the anomalies within the city."
"We're currently trying to tame the two remaining dominant monsters in this city. If all goes well, we might be able to take Jiangcheng without bloodshed, provided we can coexist peacefully with the Obsessive Monster!"
Fu Xiaojian didn't interrupt, but listened quietly.
"So, currently, the living environment here is the best, and the value of acquiring it is enormous. Therefore, I would like to invite you to join me in planning, building, and making a living!"
Mei Lin was well aware of the value of the salary train team, so he made no attempt to hide it.
To be honest, Fu Xiaojian was somewhat tempted.
According to Mei Lin, there is indeed a chance that establishing a safe zone is possible, and he is well aware of the difficulty of building one.
Xu Si was thinking about something else entirely. There was a severely overpowered [Lou Mi King] in the salt market alone, so why was there only a level 8 weirdo here?
So, what was able to suppress them was an 8th-level anomaly? Or an unknown entity?
"I still have some questions to ask," Fu Xiaojian naturally wouldn't give an immediate answer.
"Even if we manage to take Jiangcheng as our survival base, how will we obtain supplies? Most of the resources in Jiangcheng are probably already rotten. And even if we expand our search area, how long can we sustain ourselves?"
Fu Xiaojian has a solution, but he cannot reveal it to the public.
This is also why he ordered DouDou to put YaYa and NiuNiu into the nest space whenever they encountered other caravans.
It's not a big deal if Ya Ya is exposed, but it would be a big problem if Niu Niu is exposed.
He also wanted to see if the Bright Team was ready.
"As you all know, since the apocalypse, all the existing land has become barren and cannot grow food. The consumption of a survival base is considerable, isn't it?"
If this problem is not solved, everything else is just empty talk.
"This is also a problem we urgently need to solve. I think the only way to solve this problem is through Sequence Transcendence. So during this period, I have been collecting information on the strange drops from various caravans that may be used to create Sequence Awakening Potions such as 'Farmer' and 'Breeder'."
Fortunately, there was finally a breakthrough yesterday.
As he spoke, Mei Lin actually took out three vials of medicine.
These are: Vegetative State Awakening Agent, Farmer Awakening Agent, and Farm Owner Awakening Agent.
That line of thinking is correct.
Only the extraordinary can solve the problem of the extraordinary.
Is this vegetative state sequence awakening drug just a joke?
"If you agree to join, I can share these potions with you!" This was the sincerity Mei Lin was showing.
This is both a demonstration of strength and a way to reassure them.
Mei Lin understood that only if the future was not monopolized would other teams be truly loyal.
Now it's Fu Xiaojian's turn to consider this carefully.
While cows can indeed produce resources, their productivity is not unlimited.
If an additional crop category were added to the sequence, it might actually change the existing landscape.
Thinking of this made him think of Fan Wanwan.
That's a botanist sequence, no less powerful than these three sequence pathways.
Damn!
"What are the awakening probabilities of these three awakening potions?" Fu Xiaojian asked.
"At least 80%!" Mei Lin said confidently.
Fu Xiaojian gave Xu Si a meaningful look.
This is ridiculous. What does it have to do with me?
I'm not taking the blame for the system's problems.
Fu Xiaojian withdrew his gaze, not dwelling on the topic any further, and after careful consideration, continued speaking.
"We have seen Mei's sincerity." He paused, his tone softening.
"However, this is such a big matter that I need to discuss it with the team members. I'll give you an answer tomorrow."
Mei Lin nodded, showing no displeasure on his face.
"Of course. Then I won't bother you any longer. I'll wait for Captain Fu's good news tomorrow."
He stood up, and Zhao Tiesheng followed suit. The two left the camp of the Xinhuo Train Team one after the other.
Once out of sight of the salary train convoy, Zhao Tiesheng asked impatiently.
"Is it really Sequence 6?"
"Really." Mei Lin felt no displeasure whatsoever; in fact, she felt she had gained a great deal.
Are you confident?
"Not sure"
"Should we change the plan?"
"No need, proceed as planned!"
