Chapter 238: This team leader is really talented
Currently, they have opened a bounty mission to collect radios, whether military or civilian.
There has already been a response to the mission; someone from a settlement knows where to find one and is planning to go there.
This bounty mission system was introduced by Fiona to leverage the increasing number of survivors trading awakening potions at Azure Isle.
The system has proven effective so far; for instance, the task of clearing the southern suburbs has seen a lot of participation.
Since the tasks involve exploration and resource collection, people are eager to complete them for the additional rewards.
In the future, Azure Isle will use this bounty system to address shortages of materials or to accomplish certain goals.
Of course, not everyone can take on these tasks; most are assigned to allied forces to strengthen communication and control.
Special tasks, like the one Vincent needs for equipment, are open for anyone to claim in exchange for goods.
This bounty system serves as a supplementary measure for the lack of manpower at Azure Isle.
After all, Fiona and Elijah do not plan to recruit many more people. More people means greater burden, and they prefer a smaller, elite force.
With their control over awakening and advancement potions, they are not worried about the allied forces disobeying.
Elijah observed for a while, encouraged Vincent and his team, then returned to the island to prepare for the visit to the so-called research institute.
Abigail and Kylie were essential companions; not only because Elijah didn't want them out of his control, but their third-tier abilities were too useful.
Abigail's third-tier defense could withstand all physical damage, and Kylie's third-tier mental deterrence was a formidable skill that could make enemies submit without a fight.
With just these three zombies, Elijah could navigate the city center with ease and even handle zombie hordes.
Of course, there was no need to take such risks; physical strength could wane, and encountering overwhelming situations could be troublesome.
When Elijah gathered the zombies, Daisy, who was with Abigail, heard about the plan and insisted on joining to see the truth about the virus outbreak.
Elijah didn't believe her interest was genuine; she was simply eager for adventure.
Initially, Quentin and his team had planned to abandon the mall and focus on expanding southward.
However, after clearing the roads and the mall, and given its large size, they felt it was a pity to give it up.
Ultimately, Fiona suggested leaving a team behind to explore the area slowly, gather supplies, and rotate personnel regularly.
The team leader who stayed behind was quite capable.
He discovered that there were too many zombies in the area, especially towards the city center where they were more densely packed.
Collecting supplies was inefficient, so he devised a method to use traffic barriers, cars, roads, buildings, and other obstacles to create a zombie hunting ground.
They sent people to lure zombies daily and used the barriers and cars to corral them.
Roads and buildings were used to divert them, guiding the zombies in a queue-like manner to the hunting ground they had set up near the mall.
The remaining personnel, protected by the obstacles, could then hunt the zombies in a safe and efficient manner.
Every time they hunted a batch, they concentrated on opening their heads and piled up the corpses in a burial site, hoping to cultivate zombie grass.
After two days, they collected enough corpse cores to exchange for one awakening potion.
In addition, others gained confidence and were no longer afraid of zombies.
Knowing this, Quentin helped exchange for another awakening potion, and the team worked even harder.
Everyone calculated their points and considered how many more zombies they could kill to achieve awakening.
Later, Quentin used this place as a training ground for newcomers, specifically training people and collecting corpse cores. The three newly awakened individuals from their gathering were all trained here.
"This team leader is really talented. It's a pity this method only works for now!" Elijah remarked with admiration, then shook his head.
"Why's that?" Daisy asked curiously.
"Have you noticed that mutated zombies have been increasing lately?"
"Now that you mention it, there do seem to be more than before!" Charlotte replied after a moment of thought.
