Chapter 198: Chapter 187: Corpse Ghost (2)
After gathering enough information, Ye Yun closed the public chat and began to formulate a plan to deal with the Corpse Ghosts.
He opened the crafting menu.
There were no relevant medicines on the menu. It was clear that either the Corpse Ghost infection was unavoidable, or the shelter’s building levels were too low.
’It seems crafting any kind of immunity drug is impossible for now.’
If immunity wasn’t an option, what about prevention?
He immediately recalled what that person had said about Corpse Ghosts containing strong radiation and that detectors could be used.
If he could detect the presence of Corpse Ghosts in advance, he could avoid them in time. Just like this time in Heishui Town, not engaging them head-on seemed like a good decision.
He immediately opened the Exchange to search for relevant tools or items.
Ye Yun searched carefully in the Exchange and soon found some useful items.
[Radiation Detector (Green)]
[Description: Can detect changes in radiation levels within a certain range. Has some effect in detecting radioactive creatures.]
[Price: 10 Green Parts]
[Portable Flamethrower (Blue)]
[Description: A piece of military equipment capable of spewing high-temperature flames. Works wonders against enemies that fear fire.]
[Attack: 20-30]
[Attack Speed: Medium]
[Attack Range: Close]
[Attribute Requirements: Agility 5 / Strength 5]
[Price: 21 Blue Parts]
Although he couldn’t be certain if the information everyone provided was true and valid, these items weren’t too expensive. Preparing in advance was never a bad idea.
After all, even if they turned out to be useless, he could sell them back without taking too much of a loss.
On the other hand, if these things were truly effective against Corpse Ghosts, then this small expenditure of resources was nothing to him.
Ye Yun immediately bought a dozen or so radiation detectors and several portable flamethrowers.
Under Ye Yun’s arrangements, the shelter’s defensive capabilities were further enhanced.
He believed that as long as they were fully prepared, they would have the upper hand when facing terrifying creatures like the Corpse Ghosts.
At the same time, Ye Yun was also keeping an eye on the performance of the newly recruited members within the shelter.
After a period of training and adjustment, these new members had gradually integrated into life at the shelter.
This was especially true for the two powerful members, Carlos and Zhang Hanwen, whose strength and experience were a great help to the shelter.
Ye Yun was very satisfied with the performance of these new members. He believed that with enough time and resources, they would surely become the backbone of the shelter.
Under Ye Yun’s management, all of the shelter’s affairs were proceeding in an orderly fashion.
Whether it was the new members’ training or the production and trading of supplies, everything was progressing steadily.
As time went on, the shelter’s strength continued to grow.
However, Ye Yun didn’t let his guard down because of this.
He knew that in this wasteland, danger was everywhere. The slightest mistake could lead to a point of no return.
「Meanwhile, elsewhere in the wasteland.」
Hundreds of Corpse Ghosts were frantically destroying a town.
Among the horde of Corpse Ghosts, one with an exceptionally large body stood out.
Its eyes glowed with a strange red light, as if it were searching for something.
Suddenly, it stopped, threw its head back, and let out a deafening roar.
The surrounding Corpse Ghosts, as if they had received a command, swarmed toward it.
This Corpse Ghost was the leader of the horde.
It sensed a powerful force calling to it, a force that filled it with an intense craving.
It decided to lead its army of Corpse Ghosts toward the source of that power.
And that direction was precisely where Ye Yun’s shelter was located.
Similar events were taking place in different parts of the wasteland.
「Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.」
Watching the countdown tick by, second by second, none of the surviving administrators were particularly alarmed.
With their experience from the previous crises, over 90% of them believed the enemy this time would once again be the endless hordes of mutated creatures.
However, those once-formidable mutated creatures were no longer a major problem for the remaining administrators. Even if it took a certain price to eliminate them, dealing with them wasn’t difficult.
Yet, none of them knew that the crisis they were about to face did not involve mutated creatures.
As the time drew near, Ye Yun paid closer attention to the impending crisis.
Although he had gleaned some information about Corpse Ghosts from the public chat, it was all rather fragmented, preventing him from getting a complete picture.
However, Ye Yun did not let his guard down because of this.
He began to formulate a detailed plan to deal with a potential Corpse Ghost attack.
First, he had the new recruits intensify their training within the shelter. This was especially true for the two powerful members, Carlos and Zhang Hanwen. The stronger they were, the stronger the shelter’s defenses would be.
Second, Ye Yun had Lin Hao and Neil increase their reconnaissance of the shelter’s surroundings to ensure they could promptly detect any signs of Corpse Ghosts.
At the same time, Ye Yun also had the mutated creatures under Lin Hao’s control patrol the area around the shelter to prevent a surprise attack by the Corpse Ghosts.
Under Ye Yun’s arrangements, the shelter’s defensive capabilities were further enhanced.
As everyone waited, the timer quickly reached zero.
Instantly, Ye Yun’s wristband received a message from Number 3.
[Administrator, a group of about 200 Corpse Ghosts is approaching our shelter from the west. They are moving very fast and will arrive in half an hour.]
Ye Yun’s eyes narrowed instantly.
’Holy crap, so the final crisis is actually Corpse Ghosts and not mutated creatures?’
Ye Yun immediately opened the Exchange and bought every flamethrower he could see.
At the same time, he opened the alliance chat and sent a warning to the others.
[Warning! The enemies for this crisis are Corpse Ghosts!]
[I’ve already bought a batch of portable flamethrowers from the Exchange. Everyone else should hurry and buy some too.]
Ye Yun’s warning quickly caused an uproar in the alliance.
Seman:
[Brother Ye, are you serious? The enemies this time are really Corpse Ghosts?]
Sima Yue: [I knew the mutated creatures couldn’t be the crisis enemies forever. I just didn’t expect it to be Corpse Ghosts.]
Lei Hu: [Thanks, Brother Ye. I’m going to prepare some flame weapons now.]
Ye Yun: [Everyone, stay vigilant. We don’t have much time to prepare.]
Meanwhile, Ye Yun initiated an emergency mobilization within the shelter.
He had all members stop what they were doing and start preparing for the impending Corpse Ghost attack.
Ye Yun stood before the crowd, his expression grave as he said:
"I’m sure you all know by now that our enemies for this crisis are Corpse Ghosts."
"Corpse Ghosts are different from the mutated creatures we’ve faced before. They have high levels of radiation in their bodies, and anyone bitten or scratched by them will also be infected."
"So, you must avoid getting injured by them at all costs during the battle."
"I have purchased some portable flamethrowers. These weapons are surprisingly effective against Corpse Ghosts."
"Lanton, Zhou Mei, you two are the strongest. I will have you lead the team on the front lines to hold back the Corpse Ghosts."
"Lin Hao, you will be in charge of controlling the mutated creatures to patrol the area around the shelter and pin down the Corpse Ghosts’ movements as much as possible."
"Zhou Yiming, Ai Li, Zhang Yue, you three will handle logistics and support. Ensure the front-line teams are supplied with materials and medicine."
"Does everyone understand?"
"Understood!"
