LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 124: Going Out
Just as Ryan was complaining, the system assigned him a task.
After a quick look, he found that the rewards for these three tasks were very good, and more importantly, there was no penalty for failing to complete a task.
This way, he would not become a slave to the system, running around to complete assignments.
Ryan glanced at the hospital gate. Although most of the female soldiers had gone out to kill zombies, a small number still remained inside the hospital to patrol and guard.
Others were taking some women who had just returned the previous day to teach them how to use guns or weapons to kill zombies.
Ryan had consumed a lot of the weapons and ammunition he had brought back from the police station in recent days.
Now, these supplies were mainly used to train and intimidate some of the new women entering the base, while those who ventured out to kill zombies all used cold weapons that he had strengthened.
After all, these items not only killed zombies but also strengthened their users, so naturally no one bothered with those guns.
Several female warriors demonstrated zombie-killing techniques to a dozen women behind them. The onlookers watched the bloody, violent scene with pale faces.
"Remember, if you don't have the courage, don't come to participate in the selection of female warriors. Go back and be a maid on the farm, which can at least guarantee your food and clothing. Otherwise, if anyone drags down your teammates on the battlefield by being timid and cowardly, don't blame me for being rude!"
one female warrior scolded loudly, her tone resolute. It seemed that the female warriors trained by Mia were still very capable.
Ryan then reviewed the information of several female warriors on the system:
• Character: Fina
Physical Fitness: 25
Attack: 23
Speed: 21
Loyalty: 100
Attack Method: Skilled swordsmanship, sword energy ...
• Character: Qama
Physical Fitness: 19
Attack: 22
Speed: 20
Loyalty: 99
Attack Method: Proficient in swordsmanship, sword energy
Ryan looked at the three leading female warriors with some surprise. They were the first group of women who had followed him and were also among the ten female warriors he had personally selected.
Now, their strength was considered the strongest, and when Mia was away, they had temporarily taken over the roles of instructors and personnel trainers.
However, these sword skills were the abilities that Ryan had taught them at the time, and they had further trained on their own later.
But what the hell was this sword energy? There was no such item in the system store.
"System, what's going on? Could this sword energy also be a supernatural power?" Ryan asked.
[The host's enhanced weapon is a training tool. It can not only absorb the essence of zombies to strengthen the body during combat but also help release the power within one's body after reaching a certain level of physical fitness. This is the so-called sword energy. It is not a supernatural power, but merely a means of attack.]
After hearing the system's explanation, Ryan finally understood that it was simply a method of releasing the power flowing in the body with the help of weapons.
Although it was not as impressive as supernatural powers, it was still very powerful.
This was also a good thing. The stronger these women became, the more means of attack they possessed and the more zombies they could kill—an advantage that benefited him.
After all, they were all his people; the stronger these women were, the stronger the base would be.
Fina and a few others saw Ryan approaching and wanted to greet him, but noticing that he seemed deep in thought, they refrained from disturbing him. Now, as they realized that their host was staring at them, they couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
"Master, Master, is there something wrong with us..." several female warriors asked worriedly, while the women behind them looked at the suddenly appearing man with even more confusion and curiosity.
Ryan noticed the nervous looks on the faces of several female warriors and suddenly realized, "Oh... it's not that. I just took a look at your strength, and you've improved very well. The sword energy is powerful, and you've done a great job."
Hearing Ryan's praise, the female warriors breathed a sigh of relief and felt a surge of excitement, though they only said, "This is all thanks to the Lord. Without your help, we don't know where we'd be in such dire straits! All of this is given by you, Lord."
"Haha, you don't even know how to flatter properly. Learn more next time~" Ryan felt a little embarrassed after listening to the stiff flattery from the female soldiers.
"Well, what we said was true~" the female soldiers hurriedly replied.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. You guys continue your training. I'm going to head out for a while~"
Ryan slipped away. If he stayed, these female warriors probably wouldn't be able to focus on their training.
Taking advantage of the time, Ryan decided to go out and see if he could complete some system tasks. After all, the rewards for these tasks were very good.
"Golf villa area... this place shouldn't have fallen so quickly~" Ryan looked at the map in his hand, searching for areas around the hospital base where there might be survivors.
Since the women had cleared all the zombies within three kilometers of the hospital, there were no survivors nearby, only in farther directions.
Ryan checked the distance to the villa area. If he drove at full speed, it would take about ten minutes to get there.
Evergrande River View was one of the few golf villa areas in A City. It was chosen for its beautiful scenery and excellent environment. Located away from the main urban area, it was relatively quiet.
Ryan sprinted at full speed and reached the golf villa area in less than ten minutes. Before the apocalypse, these villas were built for high-ranking officials and wealthy individuals.
Each villa cost tens of millions. Those who lived here were either rich or powerful, and the security measures were extremely strict.
However, the apocalypse had paralyzed the security system, though the basic infrastructure remained. The six-meter-high wall blocked most zombies.
The gate to the villa area was locked, and there was even an electric grid on it. Unless the zombies were level three or above, they couldn't break through.
"There's still electricity?" Ryan looked at the electric wires on the gate. Now, 95% of the city had lost power.
Except for essential government agencies and areas covered by nuclear power plants, all other hydropower and thermal power plants had stopped working. After all, it was the apocalypse, and no one was maintaining these places anymore.
The golf villa area had electricity, likely from its own generator or solar power system. This wasn't surprising. The wealthy residents had undoubtedly prepared emergency supplies, allowing the villa area to remain operational.
Ryan used a bolt of lightning to smash a monitor next to the wall, then dodged and rushed directly over the wall. The wall was six meters high, and most people couldn't get in.
Evergrande River View truly lived up to its name as a golf villa area. Not only was the environment stunning, but the design was also sophisticated.
Each villa was about fifty meters apart, maintaining ample space. The area had about thirty villas, two golf courses, and a football field, covering a vast area.
After crossing a green belt, Ryan saw a small artificial lake ahead. It was broad daylight, and there were few people around, not even a zombie. For a moment, he thought everyone here might be dead.
Looking at a villa next to the artificial lake, Ryan's eyes gleamed. Not long after, he quietly sneaked into the villa, avoiding several patrolling security guards and three Tibetan mastiffs.
On the second floor of the villa, Ryan saw a man talking on the intercom. It seemed the guards had discovered the surveillance camera Ryan had destroyed and were now investigating.
"You said it was caused by a wire fire? Go check it out quickly, and don't let any more accidents happen~" Hudson instructed the security guard outside with authority.
"Yes, yes, Mr. Hudson, don't worry. We'll definitely check the lines and try to prevent any further issues," the security captain nodded and left the second floor, presumably to inspect the lines.
Hudson sat at his desk and turned on the computer. At first, Ryan didn't understand what he was doing until the man clicked on a file and selected a movie to play.
Ryan was stunned. It was a movie. Although the distance was a bit far, Ryan could still see it clearly. The movie depicted a man addicted to video games while his wife was assaulted by a gangster.
"Damn, this guy has a wife but doesn't spend time with her. Instead, he's here masturbating to a movie. What the hell is going on~" Although Ryan hadn't stayed on the first floor for long, he knew Hudson's wife and several others were downstairs.
Besides, Hudson was a wealthy man. Could he really be so miserable that he had to secretly watch movies and masturbate? Or did he have some special fetish?
Although Ryan didn't know much about the executives and wealthy individuals in A City, he knew Hudson was a real estate tycoon. After all, the house Ryan lived in seemed to have been developed by him, and it was quite famous.
Ryan had no interest in watching a man masturbate, so he went downstairs and went to the first floor of the villa. Through simple magnetic field induction, he discovered that there were two people on the first floor of the villa, in two different rooms.
