The target of the whispers shifted from the top leader and the second-in-command to Shi Jinwei.

Fortunately, she was vigilant enough that the subsequent transactions went unnoticed.

After exchanging a few words, everyone was drawn to other information.

When a few thugs came over, hoping to catch some big fish...

The girl had already left.

The other NPCs, having been in the base for a long time, were already on guard against these people.

They would never make large transactions in front of others.

The same applies to other players.

They had no space, and the corpses they brought back were all decomposed.

The selling price was naturally incomparable to that of Shi Jinwei.

……

After leaving the convoy, Shi Jinwei checked the time.

It's almost noon, so it's impossible to complete six tasks today.

I accepted four.

It was past noon when she finished, and too lazy to go back and forth, she continued to stay in the city to hunt mutated plants and animals.

Anyway, her main goal wasn't to contribute points, but to accumulate credits.

It wasn't until evening that we returned home, bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun.

I turned in the task but didn't go to the bar.

The excitement these past two days has all been about the convoy; it's not too late to go and hear what new information they have tomorrow night.

She went to bed early that night.

In the middle of the night, I suddenly opened my eyes, immediately held my breath, and put on a gas mask.

A soft turn came from the door lock; someone was using a key to open the door.

The lock was open, but the door wouldn't open.

The person outside got impatient and started kicking the door.

They assumed the person inside had inhaled sleeping potion and was fast asleep, so the noise wouldn't wake them.

Unexpectedly, the door was pulled open from the inside the next second.

The person who wanted to kick again raised his foot, lost his balance, and fell straight in.

Looking up, he met Shi Jinwei's cold gaze from behind her mask, and his eyes showed fear.

It was too late for the two to escape.

With one swing of her axe, Shi Jinwei sent the man's head flying off.

The two people behind caught the head, which was still staring blankly at the ground, and their legs went weak.

Even less spineless than the first person.

Without Shi Jinwei asking, he knelt on the ground and told her everything.

They were all his brother-in-law's men, and they usually made a living by collecting protection money.

Seventy percent is handed over to the brother-in-law, and they keep two-thirds.

Every time the convoy came, they would send someone to keep an eye on it.

Once they find a "big fish," they'll find a way to eat it, and business is pretty good at first.

The people at the base weren't stupid; after a while, they naturally realized something was wrong.

Business gradually declined, and the brother-in-law stopped paying attention to it.

But these people are in this kind of business anyway, and even if they can only open for business occasionally, it's still income.

Even a grasshopper's leg is meat; we can't let it go.

Since they didn't catch any big fish today, the group inquired around the caravan.

They heard that Shi Jinwei and several other people had made a lot of transactions, so they got the idea.

The reason for choosing Shi Jinwei is very simple.

Everyone else was in teams, but she was just a little girl.

They planned to eat it themselves and not tell anyone else, so she was the best target.

That's why tonight's events happened.

"You killed the receptionist?" she asked coldly.

If what they say is true, then the hotel should also know.

Those who don't want to cause trouble should turn a blind eye.

The two quickly shook their heads: "No, no, no, I knocked them unconscious."

They were afraid of causing trouble and being discovered by their superiors, so they naturally dared not kill anyone easily.

Deaths at the base are not a big deal, but they might be a different story in a hotel.

Hearing this, Shi Jinwei felt slightly relieved and easily dealt with the two of them.

Aside from the blood loss during the decapitation, the two corpses were otherwise in good condition.

She went downstairs to check and found that the receptionist was indeed unconscious, so she went upstairs and moved the body from the corridor.

The bloodstains were cleaned up simply.

The ground was already dirty, with all sorts of colors on it.

They didn't hire any cleaning staff, so it's not easy to notice unless you look closely.

However, I'm worried that the situation of killing one enemy and having a whole bunch of enemies appear will repeat itself in the "high-temperature dungeon".

The only disappointment was not being able to get any freebies; all my expectations were dashed.

After completing her task the next day, she still went to the administrative district.

If they really did send people, they should have noticed something amiss within a day.

Then I saw my brother-in-law swagger in with his arm around the girl, followed by a few lackeys.

I was relieved to see that everyone had a smile on their face and there was nothing unusual.

The hotel receptionist was knocked unconscious last night but didn't dare to make a sound.

The apocalypse is not like it used to be; some things are better left unsaid.

The trade caravan stayed there for a total of three days.

When Shi Jinwei was doing her mission, she was careful not to tear the corpse too much.

Like the Willow Tree, you can cut it in half and keep the other half to sell for contribution points.

Over three days, I earned another 26000 contribution points through additional tasks.

After what happened a couple of days ago, she stopped carelessly rummaging through open spaces for things.

Waiting passively for a rabbit to run into a tree stump will not yield any benefits.

She chose to conduct the transaction with the buyer privately at night.

By the fifteenth day, half of the game time had passed.

Apart from the base being attacked by mutated vines on the first day, everything was peaceful.

Shi Jinwei felt this was the calm before the storm and dared not be careless.

On the seventeenth day of the game, the roots of the mutated plants that had been cleared outside the base suddenly disappeared.

It left behind deep pits, which, when looked down from above, were pitch black and bottomless.

No one knew what was going on.

Out of caution, they acted with extra care.

The mutation occurred on the morning of the eighteenth day.

In the morning, the taskers went out of the city to do their tasks as usual.

The first car drove out of the gate and passed a pothole.

The person on the mission carelessly opened the car door and threw some trash inside.

Loud laughter came from inside the car.

Unexpectedly, a few seconds later, the ground began to tremble slightly.

Then a thick vine shot out from the hole and wrapped around the car.

The cars behind braked suddenly, staring in disbelief at the scene before them.

The vines, which were over fifteen meters tall, were two or three times thicker than the ones from the first day of the game.

The SUV was easily rolled up by it.

The mission takers inside the vehicle screamed in terror as everyone watched helplessly as the vines tightened around the car and crushed it...

The people inside, possessing some kind of supernatural ability, none of them managed to escape.

The sound gradually faded away, and when the car landed, it was nothing more than a pile of scrap metal.

The body was crushed, and blood kept seeping out.

And this is just the beginning.

Next, identical vines sprouted from all the surrounding cavities and attacked the vehicle simultaneously.

Those inside the base saw that outside the protective wall they had painstakingly built, vines, like pillars supporting the sky, were rising from the ground.

At the top of each vine is a car or a person.

The screams echoed under the gray sky, making people tremble involuntarily.

Chaos erupted at the entrance to the base.

The cars that hadn't yet left all returned to the base.

The guards shouted to close the gate.

Gunshots rang out.

The base gate, which had never been closed since the start of the game, was finally closed on this day.

Those who were still outside were simply abandoned.

Everyone panicked and ran for their lives, while the superhumans stood in the small square with grim expressions.

There are at least twenty vines here. Can this group of people defeat them?

The vines didn't give them a chance to think.
