I have an Apocalypse City Chapter 1100

Chapter 1100: Chapter 1102 Mission_1 Chapter 1100: Chapter 1102 Mission_1 Song Jian, following the coordinates given by Wang Qi, arrived at a place more than thirty kilometers away from City of Hope.

This was a wasteland, with the ground covered in salty soil glowing with a white light, where hardly a blade of grass grew. Only a strange mutated plant thrived here–Salty Root Grass. This mutated grass was a valuable alchemical herb, with each one being worth thousands of Doomsday Coins. Although this was a region with level sixty monsters, Song Jian still saw plenty of players at the thirties and forties level searching the wasteland excitedly shouting whenever they found something.

If one was lucky, gathering Salty Root Grass here could easily earn them tens of thousands of Doomsday Coins a day. Despite the danger, the place still attracted a considerable crowd.

According to Wang Qi, the first person to discover that this was a place to level up quickly by grinding monsters was a player who came here to collect Salty Root Grass.

Song Jian quickly reached the location described by Wang Qi. He was at the edge of the desert, where low-lying trees dotted the distance, the tallest of which was less than three meters high. The trees were twisted and of no use other than for cutting down for firewood.

At the edge of this small forest, Wang Qi and a few players from the City of Hope were waiting for Song Jian. Seeing him approach, their eyes lit up, and they all came forward to greet him.

“Lord Mayor!”

“The Lord Mayor has arrived!”

Song Jian responded with a smile and checked their levels. Wang Qi hadn't lied; these players had all reached level forty-five, and one of them had even reached level forty-seven.

“Lord Mayor, it's been more than half a month since we've seen you. Have you been off completing an epic quest again? Got any great loot to show us?” Wang Qi asked with a laugh.

Song Jian laughed and glanced at Wang Qi, then directly displayed the Sword Immortal Bracer in the guild channel.

The guild channel, which had been buzzing with activity, fell silent the moment Song Jian showcased the equipment. The players following Wang Qi stared at Song Jian in disbelief, as if they couldn't fathom what they were seeing.

Wang Qi was shocked; he knew Song Jian had spent the last half month completing a task and that it had been completed successfully. He had thought it was just a piece of level seventy to eighty Dark Gold or Epic equipment. He wanted Song Jian to show it off to boost his prestige, but to his surprise, Song Jian had pulled out a piece of Legendary Quality Equipment of level one hundred and twenty.

To think that most players were only levels thirty or forty, even equipment of levels fifty or sixty seemed high-end to them, not to mention Legendary Quality Equipment. In the eyes of ordinary players, Legendary Level equipment was almost on par with Divine Level gear.

It took a while before someone in the guild channel exclaimed a single “What the hell!”

It was as if a switch had been flipped, and a group of people erupted in the guild channel. The words “Worship the Lord Mayor” alone filled more than ten pages of the screen.

“Legendary Quality Equipment of level one hundred and twenty, does that mean the Lord Mayor can hunt level one hundred and twenty bosses now?” Wang Qi pondered inwardly, his gaze towards Song Jian filling with fervor.

The specific date of the Abyss invasion was still unknown. The stronger Song Jian's power, the safer City of Hope would be when facing the Abyssal enemies in the future.

Once everyone had calmed down a bit, Song Jian laughed and asked Wang Qi, “Alright, you still haven't told me how you're leveling up so quickly!”

“Lord of the city, walk this way, and you'll understand once we arrive,” Wang Qi said with a mysterious smile, leading Song Jian toward a small grove.

As Song Jian walked, he observed the oddness of the grove. Each tree seemed as if it had been irradiated, with the bark marred by fist-sized galls. The trunks twisted upward like serpents, branches were sparse, and the leaves were thin and few, most trees boasting no more than a dozen leaves, lending a desolate appearance.

After just a few meters, Song Jian made a startling discovery. Throughout the soil of this little forest lay scattered bones and skeletal remains. The white bones were mostly covered with earth, but still, some were exposed, making the area resemble a chaotic graveyard.

“Lord of the city, it's just ahead!” Wang Qi said in a low voice, pointing forward.

Soon, the two reached the entrance of a valley. There, they found a one-legged NPC soldier, leaning on crutches and smoking a cigarette on a rock.

“That's him, lord of the city. You should go and talk to him, take the task related to the soldier's legacy!” Wang Qi said.

Song Jian nodded and walked toward the somewhat elderly NPC soldier.

“Hello, is there anything I can help you with?” Song Jian greeted the Level 50 NPC veteran and asked him with the standard task inquiry.

“Young man, you exude a powerful aura. It seems you are a strong warrior. If only my team had had someone like you back then, they might not have all died in this damn valley…” The NPC soldier seemed to drift into his memories, took a long time before finally extinguishing his nearly spent cigarette on the rock, looking up at Song Jian, he said, “Powerful young man, would you be interested in hearing an old soldier recount the story of him and his comrades?”

“It would be my honor!” Song Jian replied with a nod.

“I still remember that night, pouring rain, our 123rd Division received emergency orders to march to this damned valley. We thought it was just a routine exercise, but it turned out to be the beginning of a nightmare…”

Song Jian listened patiently as the NPC veteran told his story. The scattered bones from the forest were those of his comrades-in-arms–soldiers of an entire division, all sacrificed here without anyone to collect their remains.

“… And that's how they all fell here in battle!” The NPC veteran said as he pulled out a handful of metal dog tags from his chest, saying to Song Jian, “I have collected all their identity tags, but the enemy that killed them still roams this valley with impunity. I hope you can help me, kill them all. If you bring me ten heads of those beasts, I will give you a special reward!”

System: Veteran Vayne has issued a “Hunting” mission to you, which is an endless loop mission. Upon completion, you can gain a significant amount of combat experience. Do you accept?

“So it's this endless loop mission?” A hint of realization flickered in Song Jian's eyes as he chose to accept.

Seeing Song Jian accept the mission, Wang Qi immediately proposed a trade with Song Jian.

On the trade interface, Song Jian saw Wang Qi laid out five hundred fierce heads, then completed the trade.

“Lord of the city, just speak to him to complete the task. With so many heads, your level should increase by one…” Wang Qi said with a laugh.
