Chapter 57 - The Team

Su Mo carefully thought back, then ran towards the rear.

If his memory served him correctly, when the Evil Teeth Beasts had attacked this place, all the heavy weapons had come from behind.

That meant there was definitely a military camp behind the defensive line, and the tank formation should be there.

As it turned out, Su Mo had guessed correctly.

Near the outskirts of Dawn City, there was a huge camp.

No sooner had Su Mo approached than he was stopped by a team of female guards, led by a middle-aged woman with short hair.

“Are you from our guild?

You look very unfamiliar.”

“I’m new.”

That was how Su Mo explained after a brief thought.

The captain of the guards took out a device and said to Su Mo, “Show your bracelet.”

Although Su Mo was not quite sure what they wanted to do, he still raised his left hand.

Beep~

“Name: Su Mo, Identity: Dawn Guild Tenth Legion, Group Twelve, Number 54288, belongs to the tank squadron.”

“Su Mo, are you the one who triggered the team wipe?”

The middle-aged woman leading them asked with furrowed brows.

Su Mo’s expression also became slightly embarrassed.

Indeed, good news seldom goes beyond the gate, while bad news spreads far and wide.

“Sister Li, Sister Zinuo has ordered not to make things difficult for him,”

reminded one of the sisters on the side.

“Fine, go in.”

Sister Li said somewhat disheartenedly as she waved her hand.

“Thank you.”

Su Mo quickly ran in.

At this time, inside the military camp, player after player logged on, rushing hurriedly towards the supply depot.

With characteristic flags standing tall in each area of the camp, Su Mo quickly found the section belonging to the tank squadron.

He ran over in a hurry, but unfortunately, he was still a little late.

Accompanied by the roar of engines,

one player after another drove tanks past Su Mo, leaving the area of the camp completely deserted, without a tank in sight.

Su Mo stood there with a bit of a headache. Sёarᴄh the Novelƒire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

At that moment, a maintenance worker, an old man with a cigarette in his mouth, came out from inside.

Upon seeing Su Mo, he looked him up and down a few times, exhaled a ring of smoke, and said, “You must be the new guy.”

“Yes, may I ask if there are any tanks available here?”

Su Mo inquired.

“Tanks?

There’s no spare tank here for you, better go back and rest.”

After saying that, the old man turned and left, showing no intention of dealing with Su Mo.

It wasn’t that the old man wanted to make life difficult for Su Mo; it was just that the guild’s large weapons were usually assigned on a one-to-one basis.

Although Su Mo had been assigned to the tank squadron, new weapons had to be added to the arsenal before he could be given one.

Just then, a burly man ran past and then backtracked to where Su Mo was standing.

He looked Su Mo over, noticing that Su Mo didn’t even have a backpack and was standing there looking dazed.

“Brother, you’re new around here, right?”

“Mhm.”

Su Mo didn’t think much of it and nodded slightly in reply.

“Catch!”

The burly man unloaded a QBU99 sniper rifle equipped with a scope from his back and tossed it to Su Mo.

“This?”

Su Mo was somewhat surprised.

“Hold onto the weapon and come with me.

You can tell you’re new, don’t know anything.

That’s okay, I was like that when I first came.”

The burly man led Su Mo towards the nearby army supplies depot.

The hearty man then led Su Mo to collect a military supply pack filled with the most basic survival materials and a wireless communication device.

He then guided Su Mo towards the front defensive positions.

Although Su Mo felt a bit unaccustomed internally, he still tried his best to adapt.

Before long, the two of them reached the frontline battlefield.

Dugout trenches were everywhere, and at a distance, like a tidal wave, zombies were attacking in this direction, an impressively grand sight.

If ordinary players or small guilds encountered this, they’d likely be so frightened they’d turn and run.

However, they were dealing with players from the Dawn Guild, who were no pushovers, and they quickly demonstrated strong team cooperation.

They set up Gatling guns, furiously spraying bullets, mowing down throngs of zombies continuously.

Despite the vast numbers of the zombie horde, they could not withstand the early warning the Dawn Guild received, and with their readiness, all types of firepower worked together to suppress them.

Some of the stronger zombies that broke through the barrage were immediately met with a baptism of heavy weapons, as shells rained down and blew them to pieces.

There’s a saying that all fear stems from insufficient firepower, and this couldn’t be more true.

The burly man and Su Mo crossed various points of fire and entered into an adjacent trench pit.

“Brother, my name is Zhang Kui, what should I call you?”

Zhang Kui, in a great mood, chatted across the trench with Su Mo; in fact, he too had joined the Dawn Guild by chance.

He hadn’t been in the guild much longer than Su Mo, knew few people, and due to perhaps some unrefined behavior, and the guild being mostly women, he didn’t have many good companions.

“Su Mo.”

Su Mo simply replied.

“That name sounds familiar, brother.

Did you offend someone when you joined the guild, or why hasn’t anyone shown you the ropes?

Normally, the veterans guide the newbies.”

Zhang Kui rambled on and on.

Su Mo did not respond to him but instead lay in the trench, firing at the zombies in the distance.

Bang~

One shot, one kill, just like target practice.

Zhang Kui, seeing how seriously Su Mo was shooting, thought he was very nervous and comforted him, “Brother, no need to be so tense, these zombie waves are nothing to us.

The reason why we were urgently summoned is mostly for training.

Let me tell you, when there’s a large number of zombies at the beginning, just let those with heavy weapons handle it.

We can just rest here in the trench.

Our main role is to act when the zombie horde has been thinned out significantly.”

After pondering for a moment, Su Mo thought Zhang Kui made some sense, so he stopped firing.

“That’s right, let me tell you, this Dawn Guild is really good, the benefits are impressive.

Especially the cafeteria, if you go early, you might even score some low-pollution vegetables, you know how precious veggies are…”

Zhang Kui got more and more excited as he spoke.

Of course, it was understandable for Zhang Kui, who had always scraped by at the bottom, he rarely had access to such fare.

It was all calculated according to the pollution level, from 0-10.

0 was the most expensive kind, starting at thousands for just a pound.

1-5 were considered slightly polluted, with a pound costing several hundred.

6-10 were low pollution, a pound costing up to dozens.

Anything over 10 was moderately polluted and not fit for consumption at all.

Excessive consumption would cause cell necrosis, organ failure, and various complications and incurable diseases.

This shows how precious and popular unpolluted things are in this world.

Zhang Kui chatted idly with Su Mo, prattling on about various topics.

Su Mo just listened quietly throughout, without saying much.

After a while, Zhang Kui, having grown a bit tired from talking, yawned and said to Su Mo, “Brother, keep an eye out for me, I’m going to take a quick nap to rest, stayed up too late working last night.”

“Okay.”

Su Mo succinctly replied.

“Thanks.”

After speaking, Zhang Kui closed his eyes and soon fell asleep.
