19: A resounding success! The Chinese athletes' comeback!

[Ding! You have received a guidance mission from the Dragon Country Administrator. Please check it!]

On the roof of the Red Star Fire Station, the gasping Firefighter Liu Meng heard the same prompt in his mind.

"Administrator? A mission?"

Liu Meng was a sturdy man in his late twenties with a simple and honest personality.

He scratched his face, which was blackened by thick smoke, looking a bit confused.

But he still instinctively chose to check it.

[Mission Name]: Establish a Frontline Outpost

[Mission Description]: Comrade Liu Meng, the Fire Station where you are located will become our Dragon Country team's first frontline outpost in the west of the city. Your teammate, contestant no. 2 Li Bingyao (Surgeon), is currently rallying to your location and is expected to arrive in ten minutes. Please immediately use the facilities within the Fire Station to establish fortifications and prepare for her arrival!

[Mission Reward]: None

Looking at the mission panel on his retina, Liu Meng was first stunned, and then a look of wild joy appeared on his face!

"A teammate! I have a teammate coming? And she's a doctor?"

In this hellish place, nothing was more reassuring than hearing the word 'teammate'!

And she was a doctor!

Liu Meng knew very well how valuable a doctor was in a place like this!

"Establish an outpost, receive my teammate!"

Liu Meng scrambled up from the ground.

His previous exhaustion vanished instantly, and he was filled with drive!

This was the Fire Station; this was his home turf!

In terms of familiarity with the Fire Station,

among all the contestants present,

no one could beat him!

He immediately rushed to the edge of the roof and looked down.

The Fire Station was an independent courtyard,

with high walls and a huge electric iron gate.

At this moment, the iron gate was tightly closed, and a few zombies were wandering in the yard, but not many.

"I have to clear out these few pieces of trash in the yard first, and then find a way to reinforce the gate!"

Liu Meng immediately had a plan in mind.

He turned and rushed into the fire equipment room on the roof,

pulling out a roll of high-pressure fire hose and a heavy fire axe!

He tucked the fire axe into his belt,

then dragged the hose,

and came to the pump interface on the roof.

As an experienced Firefighter,

he knew that the roofs of such large buildings

were usually equipped with independent high-pressure water pump systems to handle high-rise fires.

He skillfully connected the hose to the interface, twisted the valve, and started the pump!

Vroom—

The pump let out a low roar,

and powerful water pressure instantly filled the hose!

Liu Meng held the water gun,

aiming it at the zombies wandering in the yard.

"Let me treat you guys to a bath!"

He roared and pulled the trigger on the water gun!

Sshhh—!

A thick water dragon, like a giant white python, descended from the sky,

slamming into a zombie below with the force of ten thousand tons!

"Roar!"

The zombie was knocked off balance by the powerful water pressure and fell instantly,

and was then washed away by the violent flow of water,

rolling on the ground like a helpless ragdoll, unable to get up at all!

The impact of the high-pressure water gun

was not enough to kill the zombies directly,

but it could provide an extremely strong crowd control effect!

"It's working!"

Liu Meng was overjoyed and immediately controlled the water gun to knock down the remaining zombies in the yard one by one.

In the operations center, the generals who saw this scene couldn't help but applaud!

"Beautiful! This kid's mind is so flexible!"

Li Guodong praised,

"Using a water gun to control zombies! I can't believe he thought of that!"

"This is the importance of professional talent!"

General Long also nodded with satisfaction,

"Only by putting the most professional person in the most suitable position can they play their greatest role!"

Su Yuan looked at the screen and nodded secretly as well.

This Firefighter Liu Meng was indeed a talent.

He was not only familiar with the environment,

but could also creatively use the tools around him.

Guiding Li Bingyao there

to have them team up was definitely a brilliant move.

Just then, that pleasant prompt sounded in Su Yuan's mind again.

[Dragon Country contestant Wang Yi has achieved the 'hundred kill' achievement! Personal points +1000! Dragon Country national fortune points +1000!]

Boom!

When this global announcement echoed through the skies, the entire Dragon Country Operations Center completely erupted!

"hundred kill! A thousand national fortune points!"

"It's here! It's here! Wang Yi is too fierce!"

"How long has it been since the start? Half an hour? We've already earned back our initial investment and made a profit of 600 points!"

Everyone's faces were flushed with excitement.

This kind of start was simply a dream!

Su Yuan looked at the amount of national fortune points on his system panel,

which had instantly soared to 1600 points, and his heart also felt a surge of heat.

We're rich!

I'm a big shot now!

With this huge sum of money, I can do something big again!

His gaze quickly swept across the screens of the remaining eighteen Dragon Country contestants.

Aside from Wang Yi, Li Bingyao, and Liu Meng, the three contestants he had already looked after,

the others were mostly still in perilous situations.

Contestant no. 3, Architectural Engineer Zhang Wei,

was using his professional knowledge to hide in a building with the most stable load-bearing structure, temporarily safe,

but he lacked food and water.

Contestant no. 5, a high school PE teacher, relied on his decent physical fitness

to shake off several pursuing zombies, but was also trapped in the warehouse of a small supermarket, with a dozen zombies lingering outside... contestant no. 20, the 19-year-old archer Zhao Zihan,

was currently hiding in the gymnasium of an abandoned school.

She had found a training recurve bow and a few arrows, but facing the zombies wandering outside, she didn't dare to go out at all.

Every contestant needed help!

And now, Su Yuan had enough capital to help them!

"Comrade Su Yuan, how do you plan to use these national fortune points?"

Li Guodong's voice sounded from beside him,

his eyes full of expectation.

Su Yuan pondered for a moment and said,

"Wang Yi doesn't need support for now; he's a perpetual motion machine on his own. Li Bingyao and Liu Meng are about to meet up, and their self-defense capabilities will be sufficient. I plan to tilt the resources toward the other contestants."

"I suggest a full bloom!"

Su Yuan's voice was firm and decisive!

"Full bloom?"

Lin Zhan and Li Guodong were both stunned.

"Yes!" Su Yuan pointed at the resilient figures on the screen, his eyes flashing with the light of wisdom.

"We have 1600 points now; we can do a lot of things!"

"First, exchange a primary strength amplification potion for that PE teacher trapped in the supermarket warehouse!

His physical fitness is already good; adding another 10 points of strength will be more than enough to deal with those dozen zombies outside!

This way, we not only save him but also essentially take control of a supply point!"

"Second, exchange a Basic Archery Mastery for the archer Zhao Zihan! She has a bow but lacks combat experience and lethality.

With the skill book, she can transform into a long-range sniper!

In a complex terrain like a school, an excellent archer's role is immense!"

"And for that Architectural Engineer Zhang Wei, what he lacks most now is food and water.

We can directly exchange a Survival Supply Pack for him in the mall,

which contains compressed biscuits and pure water that can last for a week!"

...Su Yuan laid out his entire plan in one breath.

His logic was very clear.

It wasn't about blindly exchanging powerful weapons for everyone.

Instead, it was about targeted enhancement and replenishment based on each contestant's profession, situation, and needs!

For the strength types, enhance their strength.

For the skill types, bestow skills.

For the logistics types, supply materials.

Using the minimum national fortune points to achieve the maximum effect,

so that every contestant can play their part!

After hearing Su Yuan's plan, the entire command platform fell into a dead silence.

Lin Zhan, Li Guodong, and those battle-hardened generals all looked at Su Yuan as if they were looking at a monster.

This young man's sense of the big picture and resource allocation ability

had already far exceeded their imagination!

He wasn't playing a one-man game;

he was playing a grand game of chess!

A game involving twenty contestants,

and the national fortune of the entire Dragon Country!

"Good... what a 'full bloom'!"

After a long while, Li Guodong finally snapped out of his shock and praised from the bottom of his heart:

"Comrade Su Yuan, your strategic vision makes me feel ashamed! I take back what I said before; you're not just as good as a qualified staff officer, you... you're a natural-born marshal!"

"We'll do as you say!"

Lin Zhan made the final decision directly,

"Use as many national fortune points as you need! No need to ask us for instructions! From now on, the usage rights for the Arena Mall are fully handed over to you!"

What kind of trust was this!

To hand over resources related to the national fortune

completely to a twenty-year-old young man to manage!

But at this moment, everyone present felt it was only natural.

Because Su Yuan had already used his performance

to prove his value and ability!

"Yes!"

Su Yuan's heart was also filled with great ambition.

He knew that from this moment on, a comprehensive counterattack by the Dragon Country contestants, led by him, was about to begin!

He immediately opened the Arena Mall in his mind and began his shopping spree!

[Consumed 100 national fortune points to exchange a 'primary strength amplification potion' for contestant no. 5!]

[Consumed 500 national fortune points to exchange 'Basic Archery Mastery' for contestant no. 20!]

[Consumed 50 national fortune points to exchange a 'Survival Supply Pack' for contestant no. 3!]

...Command after command

was issued from Su Yuan's mind.

Dragon Country's national fortune points were being consumed rapidly.

But at the same time, in every corner of the Zombie Siege,

the Dragon Country contestants were undergoing a complete transformation!

In the supermarket warehouse, the PE teacher roared,

exploding a zombie's head with one punch!

In the school gymnasium, the young girl drew her bow and notched an arrow, the arrow flying like a shooting star,

precisely piercing the eye socket of a zombie from a hundred meters away!

One Dragon Country contestant after another,

with Su Yuan's financial support, began to burst forth with astonishing combat power!

[Global Announcement: Dragon Country contestant Chen Hu has successfully killed a common zombie!]

[Global Announcement: Dragon Country contestant Zhao Zihan has successfully killed a common zombie!]

[Global Announcement: Dragon Country contestant Sun Strong has successfully killed a common zombie!]

...For a time, the global announcement prompts were almost flooded by Dragon Country contestants!

The audience around the world was completely dumbfounded!

"What happened? Did the Dragon Country people... collectively activate cheats?"

"Why did they all suddenly become so fierce?"

"How can we even play anymore? Others are still playing hide-and-seek, but the Dragon Country people have already started a massacre!"

Dimensional reduction strike!

This was a true dimensional reduction strike!
