Wasteland Farming, Manual for Raising Human Cubs

Chapter 78: City Capture Plan
Just when the investigation team was busy investigating the Invader Alliance.

The Hope Base officially announced a recruitment plan to capture Jiangcheng, calling on mercenaries to follow the official force to go to Jiangcheng and retake the city.

As soon as the recruitment plan was announced, the survivors of the base were instantly excited.

There had been rumors before that the top leaders of both Hope Base and Taoyuan Base were preparing to take advantage of the coming winter, when the growth of mutant plants would be inhibited, to launch a joint action to retake the city.

In the thirteen years since the catastrophe, human cities have been destroyed and occupied by mutated plants and animals, but these mutated plants and animals do not know how to make use of the human technology left in the cities.

Those things left in the city are crucial to the reconstruction of human civilization after the disaster.

Therefore, the city-capturing plan is not only to take back human territory from mutated animals and plants, but also to take back all of humanity’s lost technological products and various important means of production.

The survivors have now caught their breath from their urgent escape, and it is time to launch a counterattack against the mutated animals and plants.

As soon as the official announcement of the city capture was released, the survivors, who had already suffered enough at the hands of mutated animals and plants, became energized and signed up enthusiastically.

But emotion and rationality are two different things.

There are strict standards for hiring, and the first one says that only evolved people are needed.

When ordinary people who were full of enthusiasm saw these conditions, they immediately lost their temper. They had no place to vent their enthusiasm and started to curse the officials for their discriminatory treatment.

There was also a lot of curses at the registration point of the patrol station in Area B.

"What the hell are you doing? You're making me so excited for nothing!"

The lords of territory No. 4 and No. 5 were so angry that they said "Pah", turned around, picked up their hoes and left.

Without points, they can’t buy evolution potions, and without evolution potions, they can’t become evolved people. They should just farm honestly and earn points first!
Maybe there will be a bumper harvest next year, and evolution potions will be readily available.

"Lingling, are you going?" Bai Cailing asked Dongfang Ling in a low voice.

The last time the two of them worked together to kill an invader, she guessed that Dongfang Ling must be an evolver.

But Dongfang Ling kept it secret as to the direction of evolution, and she couldn't figure it out yet.

However, the evolved humans are stronger than ordinary people in all aspects of their physical fitness, and they are acting with the official force. Even if the mission is dangerous, it is worth a try.

Dongfang Ling shook her head, still with that expression as if the whole world owed her eight million, and turned away.

Bai Cailing stared, "Hey hey hey! Why did you leave?"

Lord No. 15 Wen Fei sneered, "Bai Cailing, why do you care about what others do? You are so enthusiastic, why don't you sign up?"

Bai Cailing was annoyed with her the most. She glared at her in anger and said, "Why do you care whether I go or not? If you want to go, no one is stopping you. Why don't you go?"

Wen Fei choked, curled her lips and remained silent.

If she were an evolved person, she would definitely sign up. But unfortunately, she is not!

However, what Wen Fei did not expect was that Zhang Lijun, the evolved man who shouted the loudest, did not sign up in the end.

The reward for employment is very generous, 800 points a day, including nutrient solution, and can be exchanged for medicine and hot weapons at half price. Some evolved human lords with hidden abilities are very tempted.

But before they were ready to sign up, Zhang Lijun coldly reminded them: "You should check where Jiangcheng is first."

Several lords were stunned, "What do you mean?" Zhang Lijun shook his head and left without explaining himself clearly.

In the stationmaster's office, Zhao Gang had already filled out the employment application form. After all, this was something he and Mo Shigui had decided on long ago.

As soon as the form was filled out, Mo Shigui immediately approved it and submitted it.

"I'll pick you up at five tomorrow morning. Please prepare everything tonight." Mo Shigui reminded.

Ten places were temporarily drawn up at the patrol station. Fortunately, the authorities sent a special investigation team to take over the invasion of the alliance, otherwise he would not be able to carry out the mission with peace of mind.

Zhao Gang glanced at the display screen outside the window where the recruitment tasks were scrolling, and saw several lords asking each other where Jiang Cheng was.

He turned his head and looked at the busy Mo Shigui: "Where is Jiangcheng?"

Mo Shigui glanced at Zhao Gang, and seeing that he really didn't know, he felt a little helpless and pulled up the satellite map of Jiangcheng for him to see.

"It's a bit too late to ask about the mission location after the application has been submitted." Mo Shigui complained.

Zhao Gang didn't respond, but looked at the computer screen that Mo Shigui turned over. On it was a blurry map with poor image quality. One had to squint to make out the outline.

Mo Shigui explained: "There is an S-level mutant plant in Jiangcheng that emits a strong magnetic field that affects all electronic equipment. If it weren't for the satellite, we wouldn't even be able to take this blurry map."

After looking at the large picture, Mo Shigui switched to a small picture, which was a map of the entire C area. A red dot was marked in the lower right corner, indicating the specific location of Jiangcheng.

Jiangcheng is located in the middle of Taoyuan Base and the original Hope Base, 198 kilometers away from Taoyuan Base. It was the area where the animals and plants mutated the fastest and most horribly in the early stage of the disaster. Less than three months after the mutation occurred, it was forced to abandon it.

"The authorities were unable to provide timely support at the time. There were less than 200,000 survivors out of a city of 20 million people."

Even though this incident happened more than a decade ago, Mo Shigui couldn't help but sigh when he mentioned it again, "So the number of mutant ghosts left inside is extremely terrifying. Our mission this time is not only to deal with that S-level mutant plant, but also to guard against the occurrence of a wave of alien ghosts."

This is the first time in the thirteen years since the disaster that such a difficult battle to capture a city has occurred.

Young people may not be clear about the situation, but old people like Zhang Lijun who have been through the disaster from the early stages know it very well.

Mo Shigui was afraid that Zhao Gang would be scared away, so he quickly comforted him, "Don't panic. Our army never fights unprepared battles. In fact, two years ago, the two major bases sent troops to try to take back Jiangcheng. Our army is still very familiar with the situation inside."

"Besides, this time we have Director Yang and Commander Wei leading the team. We have the most advanced technical support from the biological company and the most courageous troops charging in the front. As long as we can get rid of that S-level mutant plant, we don't have to worry about the subsequent wave of aliens."

"The recruited mercenaries will not perform the most core tasks, at most they can assist." Mo Shigui patted Zhao Gang on the shoulder, hesitating to speak, but finally couldn't help asking:
"You're not taking the kids this time?"

Zhao Gang: "Yes, I promised Xiaoxiu."

Mo Shigui: “.”

Forget it, as long as it doesn’t affect the progress of the task.

Mo Shigui thought of Yang Mei's special concern for Zhao Gang, and said tentatively: "At first I was worried that there was something wrong with your situation, but now I know that you are very familiar with Director Yang, so I am not worried anymore."

Zhao Gang: "We are not familiar with each other."

He looked at the location on the map and tilted his head slightly. It seemed that he and Kosode had been to this place before.
