Suckadika's Prison (cough cough)
As the largest prison among several nearby cities, the Yale City Prison is quite tightly guarded. The towering walls are covered with electrical grids and there are watchtowers at each of the four corners.
Monitoring is carried out 24 hours a day without any blind spots. There are up to 60 standing prison guards and the maximum number of prisoners that can be accommodated inside is over 500.
Because most of the people in this prison are serious criminals and death row prisoners, there are usually armed police with live ammunition.
After the outbreak of the apocalypse, the prison with solid infrastructure became a natural refuge. There were even single rooms in the cells, and the standard of living could be said to be quite good compared to outside.
Hundreds of people were gathered here, and after a month of friction, several criminals gradually merged into one, forming the current community of interests and balance.
The four strongest people became four team captains, and today they were all gathered together for a meeting.
Whenever a new decision needs to be made, the four people will get together. If they cannot reach a common result, then they'll use voting, and the minority will obey the majority.
This is a way to limit the strongest one among the four, Montero.
Montero possesses a half-length armor that is braving the cold air. It is said to be a sub-legendary piece of equipment. It has very powerful attributes and can easily help him fight one against three.
If the others don't use the method of minority submitting to the majority, then they really have to take orders from him no matter what.
This is unacceptable to everyone.
So although there was a gap in strength, numbers made up for it. And by luck, or chance, there was the current situation of simple peace. A rare stability that formed balance amongst the storming chaos.
"Our food can last for three days at most. Although there are small gift supplies every night, those are too few." The muscular man complained: "We should go out and find more food instead of rotting all day in this jail."
Although the prison usually stores food for hundreds of people because it has a canteen, the prison is not the type that stores enough food for several months at a time.
Instead, it only stores enough food for two or three days, at most a week, and then fresh food will be delivered at any time using delivery trucks.
And since now in apocalypse, no new food is coming in, of course the intake has become sparse.
"It's not that your people eat too much. It's basically a fat pig farm at sight nowadays." Another man, who was thinner than ordinary people, turned the dagger in his hand and played with it with a smile.
"The appetite of those who have both strength and physical skills will increase. Are you deliberately looking for trouble? Otherwise, you should ask your people to give up their agility and increase their physical fitness." The muscular man said angrily.
"Okay, okay, it's just a joke. Everyone is still counting on your people to move things and obstacles. So it's normal to eat more." The third person tried to smooth things over.
There are differences and biases among the four attributes.
Even Damian, who has advanced level development and has luxurious equipment, does not have four attributes that are at par with each other. Even for him there is a gap between agility and strength. Let alone others.
Players with lower levels are more difficult to obtain equipment, so they would not be able to develop in a balanced way. Although there is no disadvantage in being balanced, it has no clear advantages and will be much weaker.
Ordinary people basically focus on which attribute is more prominent in the first apocalypse, or which aspect of the equipment and skills they first acquired, and then specialize in that aspect.
Like if one got dagger as reward they increase agility. If they got hammer or gloves, they increase strength. Or if they get a shield, they increase stamina _ most of the times, the majority, the poor ones, they don't have the luxury to be picky.
That's also why in many times, you can tell what aspect a person specializes in just from his appearance.
If you are a muscular man, you will most likely major in strength and minor in physique.
Wearing full body armor, he basically majored in physical fitness and minored in strength.
Those who are leaner and those who wear leather armor and boots, major in agility and minor in strength.
Some who are particularly thin, not good at fighting, and have weird capes or hats on _ will choose to major in spirit as magicians.
Of course, there must be a certain number of rare cases. For example, although Damian wears armor and metal boots, he actually majors in agility, not physical fitness.
However, excluding a few outliers like Damian, the above classification method can represent the majority of people.
"We must find a way to collect food. Just see where it goes. The places in the city where there are more supplies must have been occupied by someone. War will inevitably start if we rob them." The muscular man said again.
"Just grab it. If they can't defend it, it's because they don't have the ability. It's not our fault. It's only natural that the weak get eaten by the strong." The thin man held the dagger and lightly scratched his neck.
"What we need to discuss now is which material point to capture." The third man took out a map and spread it on the table. On the map were marks for various nearby supply points.
Several people expressed their opinions on where to capture and argued. In the end, they could only look at Montero, who had been silent this whole time.
"Montero, what have you been reading since just now? I need your opinion now."
"Um?"
Montero, who was wearing cold armor, raised his head and responded in confusion, before closing the pop-up window that only he could see.
He ignored the chit chat and kept thinking about the series of notifications he received just now.
Legendary mission?
interesting.
Unexpectedly, the sub-legendary armor he obtained by chance would have the opportunity to evolve into a legendary suit.
Montero has two sub-legendary pieces on his body, an ordinary sub-legendary shoulder guard and one winter's wrath armor piece.
From the beginning, he felt something was wrong. They were both sub-legendary, and the shoulder guard also had equipment conditions and restrictions. Logically speaking, equipment with more stringent conditions must have better attributes.
But the fact is exactly the opposite. The properties of the winter's wrath armor were much better than the other sublegendary shoulder guard. It always made him doubtful.
But now he had the answer.
The winter's wrath armor is no ordinary sub-legendary. It's actually a full set.
'Must get other parts. I must get them.' Montero thought and clenched his fists in excitement.
He had a deep understanding of the power of winter's wrath, which not only allowed him to spend his early days quite safely, but also allowed him to obtain a level that far exceeded that of others.
Even if one is a trained genius, they're only at level 15 at this stage, but he has reached level 20.
And if there was no winter's armor as a prerequisite, he would not be able to obtain the sub-legendary shoulder guard from the mutant gorilla's fist either.
'The distance is only five kilometers.' Montero thought staring at the map for a moment and then said, "How about I go out to investigate the situation in a few strongholds first, and then come back to discuss it."
"oh?"
"Why? Why are you so proactive today?"
"Yeah, it doesn't look like you anymore."
The three of them were suddenly confused. You must know that Montero usually disdained to do such small things because of his strength, let alone take the initiative to do dirty work.
"I would be embarrassed if I kept enjoying it, and it would be very dangerous to attack rashly without investigating the situation. When it comes to investigating, there is no one more suitable than me here."
Montero will naturally not tell anyone about the legendary mission. None of these guys are trustworthy. If they know about the legendary mission, they will definitely hinder him.
Although he has the power to fight several people, if there are too many people, he will be in danger. It is best to find a reason and quietly get the parts in the city. As for the ones in other cities, you can only watch first, It will depend on the situation later.
"It's great that you think so."
"Okay, then I'll leave it to you."
The other people naturally had no objections. Although they felt that Montero was acting abnormal, they were unwilling to say more, plus they couldn't force him much anyway. So they just gave in.
"Without further ado, I'll leave now."
Montero stretched out his arms, ready to leave, but before he could stand up completely, there was a loud noise from outside.
"boom… ."
Death had arrived.
