My Summons Can Learn Skills - Chapter 49
Chapter 49: Panda Breeding Base
[Mission: Eliminate a small zombie horde.]
[Difficulty: Two Stars]
[Venue: Area A18, 110 kilometers north of the final base.]
[Description: Area A18 is located near an important road that connects it with other bases. Zombies have been gathering in this area recently. A mutated zombie has become self-aware and turned into a low-level zombie lord, posing a threat to the smooth flow of the road. Therefore, it has to be eliminated.]
[Note 1: This zombie horde is not actively expanding and has a strong defensive consciousness. The lord is presumably around Level 15.]
[Note 2: Less than 100 zombies have gathered in this zombie horde. They are mostly infected humans, but the race of the lord is unknown.]
[Note 3: The zombies in this horde are mostly below Level 10. Their magic skill is Viral Infection. A few of them are above Level 10, and their second skill is unknown.]
[Reward: If you kill the zombie lord and completely wipe out the zombie horde, the team will obtain 200 Merit Points.]
[Deadline: 10 days.]
At a glance, he could see that the information on the mission was described with the strong style of the Covenant.
In fact, the leader of the Blood Umbrella Organization, Adolf, had originally been a Gold Knight of the Covenant’s Abyssal Knights!
Under his command, the Blood Umbrella Organization, albeit notorious, was extremely tightly structured, had detailed rules, and made clear distinctions between rewards and punishments.
This was also why the Blood Umbrella Organization had been able to grow to this extent and was one of the three major groups of the Umbrella Corporation.
It was a replica of the Covenant Church with evil as its belief.
If this information is correct, unlike how badly the Covenant dealt with Freddy, this won’t be hard.
It’s also a rather short mission. We can certainly return before the lab finds An Zhanyu to draw his blood.
Most importantly, we can go out to collect Magic Origin Points…
Chen Gou pondered it for a moment and concluded that this mission was dangerous, but it was also a rare opportunity to collect Magic Origin Points and understand the zombie abyss at the same time.
It had been several decades since the rift in the Abyss of Resident Evil had appeared in the Blue Wave World.
Therefore, the current Resident Evil world had to be quite different from what he had seen in the movie.
The emergence of the zombie lord and horde was one of the reasons behind this.
Based on what he knew, three forces were hostile to each other in the current Abyss of Resident Evil.
The Umbrella Corporation was naturally the largest force. They not only had human Awakeners, but also various biological weapons made from the genetic virus.
The zombie lord was next.
At the beginning of Resident Evil, the T-Virus had spread rapidly across the globe, causing billions of people to become infected and turn into zombies.
These zombies were originally all muddleheaded, their only instinct was to eat, and they were not controlled by the Umbrella Corporation.
As time passed, very few of them gradually became self-aware and gathered nearby zombies to establish their own territories.
Numerous zombie lords were scattered across the globe and were able to control roaming zombies to a certain extent.
However, they had little contact with each other and fought on their own, so they were suppressed by the Umbrella Corporation instead.
Finally, there was the human Resistance.
Hidden in a secret base, the humans were the weakest in number and strength and had always been barely able to defend themselves.
This was mainly because ever since the Blood Umbrella Organization had occupied the Rainbow Gate, the dimension passage leading to the Blue Wave World’s misty area, the Resistance in the Abyss of Resident Evil had been unable to get in touch with the external resistance groups and the Covenant and could not receive support as a result.
After a moment, Chen Gou put away the mission crystal and looked at the eight members of the team before saying, “Rest well tonight. We’ll depart first thing tomorrow morning!”
“Yes, Captain!”
All four members of the original Wildfire Team and the Demon Huntress, whose code name was Arrowhawk, expressed their opinions at once from the bottom of their hearts.
Even though the three people from Cell One and Cell Three also followed suit and responded themselves, it was clear that they still had concerns or their own thoughts.
Chen Gou didn’t say anything and headed to his bedroom on the third floor.
One of those three people was at Awakened Level 14 and had used the bloodline potion, which had activated his magic attribute and bloodline ability.
The other two were stuck at Level 10 because they hadn’t used the bloodline potion, so they couldn’t level up.
Hence, even if they had any small plans, only the Level-14 one would pose a threat to Chen Gou.
The other two actually only had two magic skills besides some slightly higher primary attributes, so they didn’t really pose a threat.
Chen Gou had the gold-grade Rebirth Sword, which was enough to make up for the difference between him and the Level-14 person with the code name Blackface.
Plus, he still had five helpers…
“It’s fine if you guys complete the mission with me. If you don’t behave yourselves, however, don’t blame me.”
Chen Gou had a hunch that these people would likely cause trouble during their mission outside.
According to the Blood Umbrella Organization’s rules, all members of the team had to unconditionally follow the captain’s orders.
In their shoes, Chen Gou himself would have been unable to sit still if the captain was holding a grudge against him.
The night went on without a word.
The next morning, Chen Gou led the eight members of the team out of the master bedroom on the second floor and they moved downstairs to leave the base.
After using the mission crystal and identity badges as credentials to pass through the heavily-guarded gate of the research base, they saw that the outside world was not actually the endless wilderness one would have imagined, but rather some hills that undulated along with the terrain.
It was worth mentioning that the location of the final base was not in the United States, where the T-Virus outbreak had originated, but in the southwestern hinterland of Yanhuang.
This undoubtedly made it more difficult for him to get in touch with the leader of the Resistance, Alice.
The Blood Umbrella Organization’s base didn’t have mounts similar to the Black Abyssal Horses, but they didn’t lack vehicles to drive on the road in this high-tech world.
Chen Gou sat in the driver’s seat of an armored car produced by the Umbrella Corporation.
When he stepped on the accelerator and the engine roared, the armored vehicle immediately rushed forward like a mad bull, passing through a jungle-covered lane before reaching the main road ten minutes later.
The road was wide!
There were a few cars!
There was no smoke!
It didn’t take any skill at all to drive in these conditions.
He just needed to distinguish between the accelerator and brake and move forward.
Any pebble, piece of wood, or zombie in his way would be sent flying!
The so-called stress-reducing games on Earth were garbage compared to this.
Due to its proximity to the base, the Blood Umbrella Organization often cleared this road, which was the same during the Bloodsucker Team’s mission.
Chen Gou arrived within one hour after driving 110 kilometers down the road.
As soon as he reached the destination on the map, which was marked as Area A18, and stepped out of the car, he saw an abandoned base full of tangled vines with a gate and walls that looked mottled by the erosion of time.
The words hanging above the gate were still vaguely recognizable. The words actually were: Great Panda Breeding Research Base!
The zombie lord had chosen the former panda breeding base to be his lair?
For some reason, a subtle odd feeling welled in Chen Gou’s heart.
