Lords of the Heavens

Chapter 195 Donation Invalid
Next, the family of five split into three groups.

Second Uncle Li Guilin's group was responsible for collecting from the south side of the town, while Li Wei and Li Yue's group was responsible for collecting from the north side of the town, but neither group was more than 200 meters from the parking lot.

As for Li Qiao, he took out a powerful siege crossbow and hid it at the entrance of the parking lot, providing lookout and support for everyone.

This is their first day in the mission world. Despite having done a lot of research beforehand, they still don't know what this world is like, so they must be extremely careful.

The family of five should try to stay alive as much as possible so that they can continue to contribute to the family's prosperity. However, they also shouldn't allow family members to grow too quickly.

In short, this balance needs to be carefully managed.

As the saying goes, I worry that my brother is suffering, but I also fear that he's driving a Land Rover.

At this moment, Li Wei, holding a three-star war bow and three hardwood arrows, followed behind Li Yue, highly vigilant about their surroundings.

He was there to provide cover, not to be the main person in charge of the mission, so he couldn't go ahead. How would he know what kind of building materials Li Yue was going to move? Therefore, Li Yue had to go ahead.

However, this younger sister, who looks delicate, is actually quite capable at work. She even prepared professional deerskin gloves. Once she selected a building, she started tidying it up, sorting the wood, bricks, concrete, and steel bars into categories, which was quite professional.

Li Wei pricked up his ears and hid behind a concrete pillar more than ten meters away, paying close attention to everything around him, including the sky and the ground.

However, there aren't many plants around here, unlike in the mountains and forests, so it always feels a bit lacking.

This is where the importance of perception attributes becomes apparent, enabling high-sensitivity early warning and reconnaissance capabilities to be completed almost around the clock and in all terrains.

Time passed by, the sun gradually brightened, and the temperature rose. Li Yue's moving and collecting went quite smoothly. She was currently trying to move the concrete blocks back. Each block weighed nearly 200 pounds, and she could lift it and walk without panting. This meant that Li Yue, who looked like a delicate little girl, actually had at least 20 points of strength.

Meanwhile, Li Guilin, who was in charge of transportation in the south, was even more impressive. He could even carry 300-pound concrete blocks with great strides, which must have been at least 30 points in strength.

It can only be said that none of those who participate in such pioneering missions are weaklings.

About two hours later, Li Guilin and Liang Yuzhi switched places in the south. Just as Li Wei was about to switch with Li Yue, he suddenly turned his head and looked south. There were some strange sounds coming from that direction.

Almost the next second, Liang Yuzhi suddenly let out a short scream, which was a scream she had made in fright, but she immediately stopped herself.

That's quite a strong mentality.

Because from the ruins of the building she was moving and searching, dozens of gray rats, each as big as a teddy bear, suddenly surged out like a tide.

Moreover, these rats weren't afraid of people at all, and they pounced on Liang Yuzhi in a flurry.

The key point is that she didn't bring any weapons. Fortunately, she was wearing leather armor and deerskin gloves. Relying on her strength and agility, she could punch a rat with one punch, which made her quite fierce.

When Li Guilin, who was providing cover, charged forward with a mace, the slaughter was even more rampant.

In less than a minute, the two of them worked together to wipe out the group of gray rats.

Oh, Li Qiao also snatched a rat's head, and he shot an arrow at it.

Li Yue wanted to go and help, but after taking a few steps, she realized that the situation was under control.

As for Li Wei, he didn't move at all from head to toe.

"Xiaoyue, take a break, let me take over."

"Brother, I'm not tired yet. You have to stay up tonight, so you should rest as much as you can during the day." Li Yue politely declined, even going so far as to give up her important night shift to Li Wei.

In the current map, night watch is definitely a dangerous but lucrative job; the rewards of one night's watch might not even be as good as carrying concrete all day.

But now that Li Yue has said that, it's practically a done deal that Li Wei will be on night duty tonight.

After all, he didn't work all day, that's a fact. Based on that logic, even Li Guilin, Li Qiao, and Liang Yuzhi couldn't compete with him.

As for why Li Yue did this, it was because the rewards from killing the gray rats were surprisingly substantial.

[Family member Li Guilin killed 30 mutated gray rats, indicating that these were level 1 mutated creatures with a kill difficulty of one star. He gained 30 family contribution points. He donated these mutated gray rats to the family, gaining 3 more family contribution points, for a total of 33 family contribution points.]

[Family member Liang Yuzhi killed and donated 10 mutated gray rats, earning her 11 family contribution points, bringing her total to 26.]

These two pieces of information are enough to explain everything.

However, there was no contribution to transporting building materials. This would definitely be distributed after the scavenging camp was built and had a certain defensive function. It is unknown how Li Qiao will build it. We can only believe that everyone has their own expertise in this kind of thing.

Next, Li Guilin, Liang Yuzhi, and Li Yue were full of energy, while Li Qiao was also trying to set up a camp.

Only Li Wei was idle; he hadn't even changed his hiding place from the beginning until now.

Li Guilin, seemingly having tasted success, held a nail-headed hammer and followed within three meters of Liang Yuzhi, ready to pounce on her at any moment should anything happen.

On the contrary, Liang Yuzhi was too busy moving building materials to spare any hands, and by the time she took out her weapon, most of it was gone. Unlike here, Li Yue was working alone, without worrying about Li Wei stealing her kills.

Yes, around 11 a.m., Li Yue also disturbed a nest of mutated gray rats from the ruins of a building. She reacted quickly, drew her longsword, and wiped them all out in the blink of an eye. She got the income from 25 gray rats all by herself and earned 25 contribution points.

However, when she chose to donate, she was met with a sudden and unexpected setback.

[The current household has already exceeded the maximum storage capacity under current conditions for similar food items, and because the household lacks a cook to process these items promptly, your donation is invalid. This is now counted as one donation.]

[WARNING! If such food is not properly handled before sunset, it will spoil or pose an unnecessary danger, and previous donations will be considered invalid.]

-

Damn it?

Hahaha!
I didn't expect someone to trigger the invalid donation warning so quickly. It seems that the pioneering mission is much more difficult than the newbie mission.

At this moment, Liang Yuzhi hurriedly handed over the information to Li Guilin. She should have a three-star chef profession. It was impossible for none of the five of them to be without a chef profession.

I wonder what she plans to do with those gray rat carcasses, there's only half a day left.

But at that moment, Li Wei suddenly noticed three rather large birds flying in from the south. Their wingspans were at least five meters. They looked a bit like vultures. Were they mutated vultures?

Without hesitation, he took out three three-star sniper armor-piercing arrows from his resource card. His previous preparations could finally come in handy. This time, in order to carry more arrows, he didn't even bring much food.

Without Li Wei having to call out, everyone noticed the three mutated vultures.

Li Qiao set up a siege crossbow, Li Guilin also took out a siege crossbow, and even Li Yue took out a small and exquisite hand crossbow...

As for Liang Yuzhi, she confidently took out a three-star powerful bow, and the whole team went for ranged attacks!
However, the three mutated vultures flew very slowly and were not aggressive at all. They hovered in the air about three or four hundred meters away, like passersby.

At this distance, even if Li Wei used a three-star sniper's armor-piercing arrow, he might not have a chance to kill the enemy.

Or perhaps they were attracted by the smell of blood?
Thinking this, Li Wei remained motionless.

Suddenly, the three mutated vultures began to accelerate, seemingly poised to swoop down.

At that moment, everyone drew their bows and nocked their arrows, aiming and locking onto the target, waiting to enter firing range. Just as the three mutated vultures were about to fly to a height of 200 meters above the ground, they suddenly let out a strange cry in unison, and in an instant, three fist-sized dark green spheres were spit out.

They immediately surged afterward, giving you no chance to snipe them.

"Quickly open!"

Li Guilin shouted, and Liang Yuzhi nimbly put away her longbow and ran away with incredible agility.

"Bang bang bang!"

The three spheres fell to the ground, instantly creating a cloud of dark green smoke, accompanied by a sizzling sound, which was very eerie and seemed to have a strong corrosive effect.

Fortunately, the wind was not strong at the moment, and the dark green smoke only spread to less than 20 square meters.

The problem was that the three mutated vultures swooped down again in the blink of an eye, spitting out three corrosive smoke balls, chasing Li Guilin and Liang Yuzhi as they fled in a sorry state.

"Dad, Mom! Come in quickly!"

Li Qiao shouted anxiously, but the siege crossbow was no longer in his hand.

Li Weiyi knew exactly what he was up to. He wanted to show off. Those three mutated vultures were probably quite intelligent. If they found out he had a siege crossbow, they might not come close. So he wanted to launch a surprise attack.

But his siege crossbows can hit flying targets 200 meters in the air while ensuring accuracy.

Li Wei felt it was a bit risky. He wasn't confident with his three-star war bow and three-star sniper armor-piercing arrows. Although these three mutated vultures seemed to fly slowly, their dive-pounce-smoke-catch-catch sequence was actually very fast. It was as if the uncontrolled erosion of the magical source had accelerated their evolution, turning them into biological dive bombers.

So he remained still, waiting for an opportunity. Running around aimlessly, shouting, or making a show of force against these aerial units would probably be useless.

For example, at this moment, Li Yue cleverly hid behind the ruins of another building, carefully wriggling like a gecko, trying to increase her height, and then sneak in to pick up the scraps.

Besides, Li Yue isn't the only smart person.

Although Li Qiao shouted for Li Guilin and Liang Yuzhi to run towards the underground parking lot, the two actually ran to the left and right, bypassing the underground parking lot, and heading towards the few high-rise buildings that had not yet collapsed in the distance.

We need to find favorable terrain.

If they really run into the underground parking lot, all the mutated vultures need to do is seal off the entrance and throw a smoke bomb, and they'll be trapped like turtles in a jar.

Your son is incredibly filial!
