Fortunately, the team’s driver was always on standby in the vehicle, so they could leave immediately as soon as everyone got in.

Xu Chi had just closed the car door when he suddenly remembered that there was a girl upstairs in the nearby building—the one who had just helped them with her weapon.

"Hey! Come down and come with us!"

Her weapons could buy them enough time for her to get downstairs and join them.

Lin Yun thought about it for a moment before deciding to follow them.

After Sang Biao shrank, Lin Yun added him back to the list, while Ghost Vine hung from her body like an ornament.

Lin Yun fired a few more Exploding Grapes toward the zombies before rushing downstairs.

As soon as Lin Yun got into the car, the driver immediately stepped on the gas and sped away.

Inside the vehicle, Xu Chi and Ji Mingfeng stared intently at the crossbow in Lin Yun’s hand.

Was this the weapon that had just killed the zombie?

Wow, that’s powerful...

How did such a small gadget manage to unleash that much power?

Even a hand crossbow didn’t seem to be that powerful, did it?

"Did you modify it yourself? I really like it. I kind of want one."

Lin Yun was completely oblivious to their gazes.

At that moment, her mind was filled with thoughts about how she would have to come back and collect the zombie corpses after the zombies dispersed.

They were all worth points, after all.

She must have earned at least 50 points from these ragged zombies by now, right?

She hadn’t checked the points section carefully yet.

She could look at it later.

As she thought about it, she sighed inwardly.

A zombie only gives 0.1 points.

When will I ever be able to earn 600 points?

[Random Mission: Escort Xu Chi’s team safely back to the Third Base.]

[Task Level: A]

[Task Reward: 30 points + 1 square meter of shelter expansion.]

"?"

Lin Yun’s expression became a little strange.

She looked up at the people in the vehicle.

As soon as the men noticed her gaze, they immediately looked away, glancing at the sky and the ground with guilty expressions.

Lin Yun followed their gazes downward.

Oh.

They were looking at her crossbow.

"Ahem, well..."

Xu Chi coughed lightly.

"Thank you for what you did just now. If you hadn’t warned us, we really wouldn’t have known there was a Level 3 zombie behind us."

Without Lin Yun’s warning, they probably would have continued fighting the Level 2 zombies until the Level 3 zombies arrived.

Lin Yun instinctively wanted to touch her nose again, but then remembered that she was wearing a protective suit, so she lowered her hand.

She felt a little guilty.

There hadn’t been any zombies around them originally.

She was the one who had lured them there.

System, task accepted.

[Random mission accepted. The map has been sent to your in-game mail. Please check your mail.]

Map?

Lin Yun narrowed her eyes.

This mission really wasn’t as simple as it seemed.

"By the way, what were you doing in that area? Aren’t you from the base?"

"Do you want to come to our base? You’re so capable. You could join the base’s guard team."

"The guard team provides food and lodging, and the benefits are pretty good."

Ji Mingfeng grinned as he tried to persuade Lin Yun to join the base.

Lin Yun shook her head again.

Thinking about the little tiger following behind her, she said,

"No. The zombies shouldn’t catch up so quickly. Can we find somewhere to stop the car? I have something to do."

I can also take a look at the map while we’re stopped.

[You can see it directly. Apart from you survivors, the natives cannot see the personal panel.]

...Oh.

Ji Mingfeng looked at Xu Chi.

He was the team leader, so they needed his permission.

Xu Chi thought for a moment before glancing at Lin Yun’s crossbow.

"Baozi, find somewhere to park."

Baozi, who was driving, responded immediately and notified the vehicles following behind them.

They soon found a secluded place to stop, giving everyone a chance to rest.

No one questioned Xu Chi’s decision.

They simply stared curiously at the woman in the protective suit as she got out of the vehicle.

Lin Yun ignored them again.

She found a corner and had Ghost Vine call out to Tuantuan.

Tuantuan could hear Ghost Vine’s voice.

In a crowded place like this, Ghost Vine was an incredibly powerful cheating tool.

Tuantuan had originally intended to find Lin Yun and the others and meet up with them.

Unexpectedly, it encountered a strange person.

It stared at him for a while, but the person unexpectedly noticed it.

However, that person seemed to be in a hurry.

He glanced at Tuantuan before running away.

Startled, Tuantuan immediately followed his scent and ran toward Lin Yun’s direction.

After waiting for a while, Tuantuan heard Ghost Vine desperately calling for it and followed the sound.

However, it discovered that there were many humans surrounding Lin Yun.

To avoid exposing itself, it had no choice but to sneak toward Lin Yun.

As Tuantuan approached, Lin Yun was just about to add it back to the list when Tuantuan guessed what she was planning to do.

It whispered,

"There’s a strange person wearing a protective suit heading toward the place where you were fighting. They’re moving very fast."

Lin Yun nodded, indicating that she understood, and then added Tuantuan back to the list.

A strange person wearing a protective suit?

There were only two people near the square: herself and Song Xizheng.

Tuantuan knew Song Xizheng, so this person couldn’t be him.

Very fast?

Lin Yun’s expression changed again.

Could this be the reason for the random mission?

"Hurry! There are more advanced zombies coming."

Lin Yun quickly stood up again, took out several pieces of cactus, and walked toward Xu Chi and the others.

Xu Chi was startled.

Although he didn’t know how Lin Yun had found out, considering everything she had done to help them earlier, she had no reason to deceive them.

"Get in the car quickly!"

"Wait. Put this on yourselves!"

She handed the pieces of cactus in her hands to them.

Xu Chi had wanted to ask from the beginning why Lin Yun had such an unpleasant smell.

However, because she had helped them, they had been too embarrassed to bring it up.

He glanced at the piece of cactus in his hand and decided to trust Lin Yun.

"Quick! Rub yourselves with the cactus!"

As he spoke, he handed the other pieces of cactus to the others and took one for himself, rubbing it over his body.

Lin Yun then took out the smelliest pieces and rubbed them over herself.

That way, no one would be able to distinguish her scent anymore.

She also took another piece and rubbed it over the car several times, just in case.

Baozi watched Lin Yun’s actions with mixed feelings.

However, the captain trusted her, so he could only watch helplessly as she ruined his beloved car.

After wiping herself clean, Lin Yun put the piece of cactus back into the car.

She then borrowed a knife and began cutting the cactus into smaller pieces.

Xu Chi thought for a moment before taking out a knife and helping Lin Yun cut the cactus.

"Take the detours you know best. Don’t go straight back to the base."

Lin Yun’s expression became serious.

"The thing following us is very likely to be something stronger than a Level 3 zombie."

"Are you sure?!"

Xu Chi grabbed Lin Yun’s wrist.

Lin Yun glanced at him.

Right now, this was the only explanation she could think of for why the System had given her a random mission to escort them back to the base.

"Very likely."

Every time they drove a certain distance, Lin Yun would throw a piece of cactus outside.

Some pieces were thrown directly onto the road, while others were handed to Ghost Vine, which would toss them higher up when no one was looking.
