After a day's rest, Lin Qingqing led the two of them to the Superpower Guild again. Last time they registered team information, and this time they came to take a look at the mission.

It has been more than two months since the end of the world. The most common tasks in each base are searching for supplies and exploring areas.

As for other special tasks, such as rescue and mutual transportation, they are generally carried out by professional military teams or high-level psychic teams.

Due to the shortage of supplies, in addition to maintaining security at the base, the troops in various places were dismantled on the spot and temporarily formed into exploration teams to gradually explore and investigate around the base.

Xiao Pengfei and the others that Lin Qingqing met before belong to this category. Their tasks are assigned by their superiors, and they will change shifts with the permanent team in the base every once in a while to rest.

Compared with the military team, the civilian team with special abilities will be much freer. Everyone can choose to perform tasks alone or seek cooperation from other teams.

The rewards for tasks are roughly divided into two categories. One is officially released by the base. The rewards for this type of tasks are usually various welfare policies of the base, such as living for free for a period of time. Of course, there are also tasks released by private groups or individuals. These tasks are usually settled directly with crystal cores.

Lin Qingqing and the other three stood under the task notice board and looked at the information on it carefully.

There are quite a lot of tasks on it, and they have been divided into categories by the staff in detail. The left half belongs to the official task section. Most of them are to go to a certain place to find supplies or explore the situation.

The right half is a private section with various types of tasks: some are recruiting team members, some are seeking cooperation, and there are even marriage proposals, which made the three of them speechless.

Among them, the most touching and most numerous ones are the missing person notices. Those looking for family, friends, and lovers. Those with photos are posted with photos, and those without photos are filled with the characteristics of the person they are seeking.

The missing person notices carry the hopes of the people who are still alive. They are waiting here for that person to appear. Maybe one day he can find that lucky one, but maybe it will always be a disappointing answer.

Seeing this, Lin Qingqing turned around and asked the two of them: "Do you want to find someone?"

The two were silent for a long time, and finally Lei Min said: "My relatives are all in the north, and I only have an acquaintance here, my cousin, so there is no need to look for him."

"My parents are gone too. I only have one aunt abroad, so there's no need to look for her." Wen Ling also shook her head.

"Your parents are..."

"Six months before the apocalypse happened, I was on summer vacation. Our family went on a trip. There was a fire in the B&B where we lived. My parents were both gone. My eyes were also blind at that time," Wen Ling said in a low voice.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I didn't know..."! Lei Min didn't expect this to be the reason and apologized quickly.

"It doesn't matter, it's all over," Wen Ling said with a smile.

"It will be fine in the future. As long as we are in Qingmang Team, we are all a family," Lin Qingqing's soft voice sounded.

"Yes, the captain is right." Lei Min quickly changed the topic: "This is our first mission. Let's see which mission is best."

"It's my first time to accept a mission. I think it's better to accept the official one first," Lin Qingqing said after briefly browsing the mission list.

"There are many official tasks, and each task requires different numbers of people and abilities." Lei Min was dazzled.

"This one," Lin Qingqing pointed at one of them and said, "This is a mission to search for supplies. The official announcement was just made. The location is a small cold storage fifty kilometers away from the base."

Frozen meat products that enter the High-tech City before the end of the world are generally temporarily stored in small cold storages, and there are several such small cold storages. Some store beef and mutton, some store chickens, ducks and geese, and some specialize in storing seafood. The target this time happened to be a cold storage where fresh pork was stored.

"The mission requires ten to fifteen people. It is recommended that at least three level two superpowers lead the team." Lei Min read the mission description on the notice to Wen Ling.

"That means we need three second-level superpower teams to go together"? Wen Ling said.

"Well, and now a team has signed up, they have five people," Lin Qingqing said.

This task is very suitable for them in terms of personnel ratio and task type.

Because for such tasks, the official will usually send out its own team to take the lead, and the official people must definitely account for the majority.

This will create considerable competitiveness for the remaining two teams. Whoever applies first will have the opportunity to occupy more places.

Now there is a five-person team, and the remaining ten spots are officially occupied by at least six to seven. The remaining ones are just enough for their three-person team.

This task has been pending for two days, and the release time happened to be the second day after they came to the base.

"What a coincidence"? Besides them, are there other three-person secondary teams in the base? Lin Qingqing would never believe it if this was not intentional.

"This mission is tailor-made for us! Captain, do you think there is any fraud involved?" Lei Min said mysteriously, and she also discovered something was wrong.

"You have watched too many TV series, right? Who can force us to choose this task?" Lin Qingqing said funny.

"That's right, but this is too coincidental. I always feel something is wrong." Lei Min frowned. She still felt a little weird.

"Rather than a conspiracy, I would rather believe that it is a temptation or a test," Lin Qingqing said meaningfully.

It was their first time here, they didn’t know anyone, and they didn’t offend anyone. Why did the base harm them in the first place?

"Test? What test?"

"The trials of life."

"Captain, can we stop talking so literary and artistically? I'm a science student and I don't understand!" Lei Min said speechlessly, "Then shall we go?"

"Go, what a great opportunity, let's go see the people with special abilities." Lin Qingqing wrote down the task number and went to find someone to sign up.

Lei Min and Wen Ling stood there looking at each other, a little confused for a moment.

The registration process went smoothly, and the receptionist was also very enthusiastic. After registering their team's information, she handed her a mission contract form, which stated the specific time, location, and possible dangers of the mission.

As for the reward, it is free living in the base for ten days, and other resources obtained during the mission except the mission objectives belong to each team.

Generally speaking, the treatment was pretty good. After reading it, Lin Qingqing signed the name of the team and her own name, then submitted one of them in exchange for a mission card.

This mission card allows them to waive the entrance fee when returning to base.

"The departure time is the day after tomorrow. We will drive there ourselves. It will take at least a whole day. If you have anything else to prepare, we will go to the exchange tomorrow." Lin Qingqing said after introducing the details of the mission to the two team members.

"Then let's go to the exchange tomorrow and try to be as well prepared as possible," Lei Min said.

"Well, I also need a backpack or a holster or something like that, otherwise I won't be able to carry the gun and bullets," Wen Ling also suggested.

"Okay, let's go there again tomorrow," Lin Qingqing nodded in agreement.
