"What's going on?" Mo Hua asked.
After Beidou City was stabilized, many combat teams were sent out. Some of these were teams equipped with energy weapons, some were teams affiliated with Beidou City player groups, and some were individual players who spontaneously formed teams to complete tasks issued by Beidou City.
There are three reasons for sending these teams. One is to search for supplies. There are many nearby cities that still have a lot of supplies. These resources cannot be ignored for Beidou City.
Another meaning is to expand the population. There are countless small survivor gathering places nearby. Most of these gathering places want to seek refuge in the big city, but they dare not cross the wilderness alone.
If these combat teams find a gathering of survivors in the wild, they will extend an olive branch to them in order to expand the population of Beidou City.
As for the survivors, not only could they be protected by the big city, but they would also be escorted along the way, so they were naturally happy to seek refuge.
In addition, the combat team also has another mission, which is exploration.
In the apocalyptic wilderness, dangers and opportunities coexist. The combat team must not only eliminate dangers around the city, but also pay attention to some strange phenomena.
Sometimes, these visions represent opportunities.
This time, a combat team accidentally discovered a strange light group while searching for supplies in an abandoned city.
After the news came back, Mo Hua immediately sent someone to check and finally determined that the light group was a copy!
Dungeons represent resources. Take the dungeon mastered by Xu Weimin as an example. The various rare ores produced in it have benefited Beidou City a lot, and they have continuously provided Beidou City with strategic resources such as ores!
Even if Beidou City has strong troops now, it is impossible to ignore the benefits that a copy can bring!
It's just that this city is too far from Beidou City, and the zombies stranded in the city are also a problem. It is impossible for ordinary combat teams to win this copy, and they can only send experts to do preliminary cleanup.
It happened that Zifeng was not in Beidou City at that time, and Yulian was also summoned away by Yixiao, so she could only select personnel from other senior officials.
Ho is powerful, relatively calm-minded, and is the direct leader of the player group. He can be said to be the best candidate to lead the team.
But looking at the solemn look on Ho's face, something unexpected happened during this trip to the dungeon.
"There are two main problems. One is that it is more difficult to clean up the zombies in the city than imagined, and the other is the intervention of other forces." said Hon.
"Be specific."
"The zombies in the city are much more powerful than we thought. There are so many ordinary first-level zombies and second-level zombies, which is a trouble in itself. We have too few people this time, and it will take a long time to completely clean them up."
"Also, in addition to first- and second-level zombies, there are also third-level zombies there!"
When Zhuo said about the third-level zombies, Mo Hua obviously paid more attention to it than before.
"Level 3? Is the news accurate?"
Now both zombies and mutant beasts are at the first and second level. The only known third-level creature is the Ice Emperor that Yi Xiao encountered, but that is just an example.
According to the normal evolutionary level of organisms, third-order creatures should not appear at this stage. This city is likely to be the first batch of third-order creatures!
The first batch of second-level creatures that appeared were zombies, and now the first batch of third-level creatures are still zombies. Is it possible that zombies have some unique advantages in the evolution of life forms?
Originally, with the improvement of the average player level and the establishment of the survivor base, this apocalypse has turned into a struggle between humans and mutant beasts, and zombies have begun to gradually fade out of people's sight.
Does the appearance of the third-level zombies mean that the original nightmare will come back again? Will the war between humans and zombies begin again?
Zhuo nodded and said: "That's right. One of the players who went this time has an insight ability. After many days of observation, he determined that it was a third-level zombie!"
"How many are there? What is the specific strength?" Mo Hua asked.
"We only saw two. Unlike the second-level zombies, the third-level zombies are more similar in size to humans, so we initially thought they were humanoid mutant beasts."
"In terms of strength, it is initially estimated that each attribute can reach 100. The specific values cannot be determined because we have not had a head-on conflict, and it is not clear what the specific abilities of the third-level zombies are."
Mo Hua tapped his fingers rhythmically on the table for a long time before continuing: "It seems that it won't be long before zombies will become a big problem again!"
For the same level, zombies are the weakest, mutant beasts are slightly stronger, and guardian monsters are the top creatures now.
But now it seems that zombies also have their own advantages. In addition to being numerous, they also have shortcuts to evolution!
If what Ho said is true, then the strength of the third-level mutant beast should be stronger than the ordinary second-level guardian monster!
"I know, third-level zombies are indeed more difficult, and this failure is reasonable." After a pause, Mo Hua continued to ask: "Then what are the other forces you are talking about inserting their fingers?"
"It's a large gathering place of survivors called Cold City."
Mo Hua glanced at Zhen. He was very confident when he spoke. He had obviously done a full investigation of this cold city. "go on."
"As far as I know, this Han City was originally called Star City. It is an official city. The city owner Xinghai was also a prominent person before the end of the world. The entire city's population is even higher than our Beidou City!"
"It's just that Star City encountered a mutated beast attack not long ago. After that attack, the city lord Xinghai reduced the supplies of the players, causing public outrage. In the end, under the leadership of a man named King Han, the players rose up and successfully overthrew After leaving Xinghai, Star City was officially renamed Han City, and the city lord is King Han!"
"A riot? It seems that King Han is very capable. He is probably more suitable to be the city lord than that Xinghai." Mo Hua said.
Ho nodded: "This is exactly the case. When Xinghai was in power, he began to conquer small survivor gathering places, but the efficiency was not impressive. But after King Han took office, Hancheng's style of conduct changed drastically, and he quickly and resolutely completed the tasks of nearby small forces. Operation of subjugation!"
"This time, a small force that was subdued also informed King Han of the dungeon news in order to make a contribution. We both arrived at the same time. The other party obviously would not give up the profits of this dungeon, and their attitude was very tough. If it were not for those zombies, we would be very A conflict may break out!”
"But the existence of third-level zombies is an unstable variable for both us and the other party. The other party's choice is the same as ours, choosing to return to the city to seek reinforcements."
After saying that, Zhuo stood aside quietly, waiting for Mo Hua to decide how to deal with this matter.
After pondering for a while, Mo Hua continued: "According to what you said, Hancheng's strength is not much different from ours on the surface. Coupled with geographical factors, our Beidou City is too far away and it is not suitable to send out large-scale troops."
After a pause, Mo Hua looked at Zhuo's eyes with indifferent eyes. "It's too difficult to monopolize the dungeon, and we won't give up this dungeon in vain. The best way now is to negotiate and share the dungeon output equally with Hancheng."
"However, everyone knows the importance of dungeons. Will the other party easily let us get a piece of the pie?" Hon asked.
"That's the problem. I'm going to send a team to Hancheng to negotiate and discuss the issue of the dungeon in detail. The problem is that the city lord is not here now, and both Yu Lian and Qifeng have gone out..."
