In the background of the game, an NPC company called Raptor Company controlled more than 90% of the super-large shelters’ safe areas in the Wasteland Apocalypse.
It was worth mentioning that Wasteland Apocalypse was the first choice of every rich player in the real world.
Because of the relatively high level of technology in this world, it had already developed an efficient freezing chamber. As long as the body in the game was stored in the freezing chamber, the player could quit the game without having to control food and water intake, and the game time was calculated as usual.
Fang Heng and Qiu Yaokang had discussed and researched this freezing chamber before.
According to Qiu Yaokang’s estimation, the same technology would only be developed in the late-stage of the Zombie Apocalypse.
Therefore, Fang Heng thought that if there was an opportunity this time, he could find a way to get a freezing chamber to speed up the research.
At the gathering point, besides Fang Heng and his team members, there were more than ten players who had just chosen to enter the Wasteland Apocalypse and appeared at random places.
Having just arrived at an unfamiliar place, the rookies were somewhat vigilant as they observed the people around them.
A young girl in her early twenties was about to say something to ease her awkwardness and nervousness when the metal door in front of them opened with a swish.
Two fully armed people in green protective suits walked towards them.
“Hey, new refugees, congratulations on finding a temporary shelter. I’m the captain of the escort team here, Bazaar.”
Alba waved at everyone and said, “Now, come and collect your temporary identity cards one by one. With your temporary identity cards, you can obtain the most basic materials in the Raptor Company’s safe areas. This is the benefit given to you by Raptor Company.”
“The temporary identity cards are valid for three days. If you still can’t complete the upgrade of your identity cards after three days…”
“Then I’m sorry.”
Bazaar gestured with the guns in his hands. “I don’t want to waste bullets. When the time comes, everyone knows what to do. Do you understand?!”
The two NPCs obviously didn’t have much patience. After distributing the identity cards, they turned around and left, leaving the rookies behind.
[Hint: You have obtained the temporary identity card of Raptor Company.]
Item: Temporary identity card.
Description: A temporary identity card issued by Raptor Company. With this card, you can stay in any safe area under Raptor Company. This card only binds individuals and has the function of storing contribution points.
Description: Every 24 hours, 10 contribution points will be deducted from the temporary identity card. If the contribution points fall to zero, the identity card will be invalid.
Current remaining contribution points: 30 points.
[Hint: You have triggered a normal mission-upgrade the identity card.]
Mission name: Upgrade the identity card.
Mission description: To collect 200 contribution points within three days to complete the upgrade of the identity card.
Fang Heng took the temporary identity card and held it in his hand.
The identity card was similar to a bank card. It could store contribution points and the points could be traded through the Raptor Company Exchange.
Once the identity card was invalid, the player would be kicked out by Raptor Company.
Fang Heng put away the card.
It seemed that the difficulty level to kickstart the game was lower than that of Zombie Apocalypse.
It was no wonder that the Zombie Apocalypse was known as the beginning of hell.
After the initial panic, a few players quickly gathered together and tried to discuss countermeasures.
Raptor Company had shelters all over the world.
Other than that, players could also choose to build their own shelter.
However, in the Wasteland Apocalypse, the initial difficulty of building a shelter was hundreds of times more than in the Zombie Apocalypse.
The problem was the radiation of the Wasteland Apocalypse.
Anti-radiation houses needed special materials to be made. Safe areas also needed to be equipped with buildings such as isolation rooms, purification rooms, air circulators, radiation research rooms, and so on.
The cost was extremely high.
Without a large number of resources and researchers, it was very difficult to complete self-construction.
Wasteland Apocalypse’s new district, District 11, had been open for a full seven years.
Based on the Federation’s report last year, the Federation had built a total of 12 super-large shelters in District 11 and provided protection to the people.
Overall, District 11 was still considered a relatively stable area.
Fang Heng recalled the relevant information.
“Start clearing.”
Waves of drowsiness assaulted him. Fang Heng patted his face to make himself more clear-headed.
The aftereffects of using the ultimate skill, Everlasting Moon, had yet to be completely eliminated.
It was very tiring.
In addition, he wore a thick set of equipment during the day and constantly used purification spells with the team to pass time…
Fang Heng only wanted to hold on for another half an hour. Later, he would find a place to slowly hack in and quickly go back to sleep.
The people who were randomly assigned to Fang Heng were all students. After introducing themselves, they all turned their gazes to Fang Heng and the other two.
The three of them did not introduce themselves yet and they were all wearing masks.
No matter how one looked at it, it felt weird.
One of them, a 1.9-meter-tall young man, Tang Qifei, said, “Brother, you guys…”
“My name is Fang Shuo. Let’s go inside and take a look first.”
Fang Heng shrugged, his tone giving off an unquestionable feeling.
The five students looked at each other and followed Fang Heng into the shelter of the safe areas.
“Ka, identity verification completed. Welcome back to Raptor Company. Please increase your temporary card privileges as soon as possible.”
After the automatic response sent out a verification hint, the door opened.
The central hall of the safe area was crowded with people.
At night, the danger factor in the wilderness area increased exponentially. Therefore, most players chose to talk business and trade at night.
A large number of players gathered in the free trade area of the hall.
There were so many people!
It was just one safe area and there were so many players?
Fang Heng was a little surprised. He couldn’t help but turn his head to look at Mo Jiawei.
The three of them exchanged looks and began to spread out to gather information.
Fang Heng saw a Qihoo Company’s foreign business counter not far away. He walked over there.
“Welcome to Raptor Company. Raptor Company is committed to providing you with the best service during the apocalypse.”
Behind the counter, the young lady introduced the company’s specific situation to Fang Heng.
“Raptor Company provides foreign exchange service. To upgrade your identity card, you need 200 contribution points. Once you have a certain amount of contribution points, you can automatically advance the membership level of Raptor Company.”
“On the other side, you can choose to accept the commission from Raptor Company’s commission office to obtain contribution points. You can also use Raptor Company’s contribution points to exchange for items. As your membership level increases, you can unlock the list of high-tier materials that can be sold.”
A three-dimensional electronic screen appeared on the right side of Fang Heng’s body.
The list displayed a series of basic exchangeable items provided by Raptor Company.
Fang Heng curled his lips, thinking that it was quite troublesome.
Currently, his Raptor Company’s VIP membership level was Level 1, so he could only exchange for some basic items.
By consuming the Raptor Company’s contribution points, he could obtain points, which would directly increase the Raptor Company’s VIP membership level.
As for the acquisition of points, he had to complete Raptor Company’s missions or through transactions.
