These missions were all posted on a screen, just like the big screens in train stations that announced the stations and train numbers. The information was processed, collected, and sent by the Information Department.
There were all kinds of missions, such as finding signal towers, core technology for internet operations, etc.
"Normal mission: Guard the gate for 8 hours a day, 10 military merits."
"Normal mission: The Ministry of Construction is building a power station in the south of the city. Professional technicians and workers are needed to assist in the construction. Soldiers, 8 hours a day, 20 military merits!
Team leader, 8 hours a day, 40 military merits!
Technicians will be evaluated according to their profession and will be awarded military merits! "
"Special mission: The Southern Ring Road city wall was attacked by monsters and was severely damaged. Workers are urgently needed to assist the Ministry of Construction in rebuilding the city wall!
Soldiers, 8 hours a day, 30 military merits!
Team leader, 8 hours a day, 60 military merits! "
The so-called special missions could only be received once and could not be duplicated. For example, this mission to repair the city wall was only damaged because of the sudden attack by monsters. It was an accident.
These missions could be found in the A, B, and C ranks, but the rewards were different. This was because a soldier's strength was completely different from a captain's strength. A soldier could carry one stone, but a captain could carry two. Higher ranked missions such as regimental commanders and battalion commanders could move stones at a speed that soldiers couldn't match. Their work efficiency was completely different.
If a battalion commander wanted to be lazy, it would be impossible for him to carry a small stone because the Ministry of Construction had a detailed distribution of tasks. Based on his grade, he would be responsible for carrying a lot of things and how much work he had to do. If he did not meet the target, he would be fired and the mission would be automatically canceled.
Ye Chen looked at the missions and felt a little helpless.
The base city was still in its early stages and could only be regarded as a first-class base city. Everything was not yet complete, such as the underground water system, the power station, the local telecommunications, the mobile signal station, etc. These were not yet built.
However, from the missions, it could be seen that the current mission of the base city was to improve the base city. It was like if you wanted to deal with the enemy, you had to strengthen your equipment first. Only then would you be more powerful.
In the later years, the level-5 and level-6 base cities were very complete and advanced. The construction technology and various designs were added with the technology left behind by the prehistoric civilization. The base cities were also very large, and people could use their communicators and surf the Internet at will in the base cities.
Fortunately, although the apocalypse had happened, human wealth was still there. Just like the food in the supermarket, it was left behind. As long as you got it in time, you could use it for yourself.
"These are all small missions now. Later on, as the prehistoric civilization is gradually discovered, the base city will gradually be perfected. At that time, there will be more missions. There will be all kinds of strange missions. For example, the production department will issue missions to find the bodies of various monsters, to create powerful weapons, to find some extremely magical herbs that can heal after mutation, to create injury medicine, and so on. These are all missions that can be used to earn military merits.
Ye Chen sighed in his heart. After looking around for a while, he found a [Special Mission]. It was to go to the underground sewers and kill the mutated rats and other creatures. The military achievement would be calculated according to the number of kills. It was currently the third month. The weakest evolved rat was level 5, while the strongest was level 12. The degree of evolution was different. After all, there were many types of rats, such as white rats, gray rats, and so on.
Moreover, some rats could mutate and become a new species in the process of evolution.
As for the Zombie Rats, their strength was, after all, the same. Currently, most of them were level 3 to level 4, unless some of the Zombie Rats devoured the corpses of other powerful creatures to increase their strength and become a Zombie Rat Leader or something like that.
"Calculation of military merits."
"A level 5 black-haired rat is worth 50 military merits!"
"A level 6 sharp-clawed rat is worth 70 military merits!"
"A level 7 rat …"
"A level 8 rat …"
"A level 12 gold-eating rat is worth 2,000 military merits!"
Beside each monster, there was a clear photo of the monster's appearance. The matter of naming the monsters and probing their strength was handled by the Investigation Department. Similarly, the reward system was based on military merits. As long as one was brave and meticulous, one could go to this department. Once one discovered any treasure or information about an unknown monster, one could submit it to the department. Depending on the situation, military merits and rewards would be given.
After a monster reached level 10, a normal Type 64 handgun would no longer be a fatal threat to it. It would be very difficult to kill it. Only a captain or commander level rifle would have a very low chance of killing such a monster.
After all —
The power of a weapon was great, but it had to hit the enemy. If one's own strength was too weak, no matter how powerful a handgun was, it would be useless if it couldn't hit the enemy.
A normal soldier's weapon was enough to kill a level 5 monster. Other than these monsters, they could also kill zombies, rats, and even other animals such as insects that evolved or turned into zombies in the underground sewers.
Ye Chen walked to the front desk and took out his military ID. He said, "I want to accept this mission to kill a monster in the underground sewers."
The lady at the front desk filled out a form according to the information on the military ID. Then she smiled sweetly and said, "I wish you good luck and a safe journey. I hope to see you return after completing the mission."
Ye Chen's lips curled into a smile. He nodded and turned to leave.
…
The mission location was on a street in the south of the city.
Ye Chen asked around and quickly rushed to this place. When he arrived, he immediately saw that the front and back of the street were blocked. There were many people in military uniforms in the middle of the street. They were blocking the way and shooting and killing non-stop.
Ye Chen walked inside.
"Please show me your military ID!" At the blockade line, a man in business attire reached out his hand to stop Ye Chen.
Ye Chen took out his military ID and handed it to him.
The man took a look at it and confirmed that it was Ye Chen. Then he returned it to Ye Chen and stepped aside with a smile.
Ye Chen quickly walked over. Suddenly, he saw an underground sewer cover that had been blown open. There were many ferocious-looking zombie rats and evolved rats fighting each other inside. It was a mess.
The zombified dark creatures were addicted to killing all life, regardless of whether it was animals or humans. Therefore, the dark creatures were the public enemy of the world. On the other hand, the evolved monsters only desired flesh and blood. They were not interested in the dark creatures at all. They only wanted to kill humans.
In this way, the monsters killed humans. The dark creatures killed both humans and monsters. Since they were the closest to the monsters, they attacked the monsters crazily. In the end, they angered some of the monsters. These monsters also changed their target and decided to kill these abominable dark creatures first.
On the side, there were many people in business attire holding pens and paper. They were recording how many monsters each soldier had killed and then matching them. If the information was recorded incorrectly, the corresponding military merit would be deducted. If it was recorded correctly, the military merit would be rewarded!
This was how the Information Department operated.
In fact, most soldiers would remember how many monsters they had killed and which monsters they had killed. In the end, they would compare it with the recording personnel of the Information Department. This was equivalent to providing them with data that they could refer to.
"Another one."
"Pay attention to him."
A few of the recording personnel paid more attention to Ye Chen.
"He's just a soldier-level. How many can he kill?" a beautiful girl said disdainfully.
"Okay, just pay attention to him a little. Mainly, don't miss out on the regiment commanders and battalion commanders. These big shots kill high-level monsters. You can't miss out on them."
"Got it."
…
Ye Chen heard these whispers of ridicule but did not care. Perhaps he was used to it, so he walked calmly to the entrance of the underground passage.
The chest of the soldier-level soldiers had a white horizontal cross.
The chest of the captain level had two horizontal stripes.
The regiment commander level had three horizontal stripes.
Above the battalion commander level, there was a medal.
In the past, the horizontal stripes were worn on the shoulders and sleeves. However, after the apocalypse, the sleeves and shoulders were easily scratched and torn. This led to the frequent need to change the horizontal stripes.
Only the chest would not be torn. If your chest was torn, it meant that you were already dead.
A level 7 blood-furred rat roared at the entrance of the passage. With one claw, it killed two zombie rats that were biting it from behind. Then it rushed out, jumped onto the street, and bit towards Ye Chen's direction.
