There is a passage leading underground at the very center of the Storm Zone, which has always been J-Lab's highest danger and security level area. There must be some secrets hidden inside. Be careful, go observe the situation around there first.

It seems that the underground area in the center of the Storm Zone is holding J-Lab's prototype test subject [REDACTED]. He should still have J-Lab's core secrets on him, try to get them from him. He is quite powerful, make sure to be fully prepared.

There are some creatures in the Storm Zone that have never been seen before. For the smooth progress of future investigations in the Storm Zone, I think it's necessary to investigate them.

We already have our own teleportation machine, first go unlock the beacon in Zone Zero. Beacons allow us to teleport freely, though the teleportation coordinates are not so... stable. According to intelligence, the Zone Zero beacon is in the Highway Camp, which is a bit dangerous, so be careful.

We are finally starting to venture to more distant places. To make it easier to reach the Warehouse District faster in the future, you need to go activate the teleportation beacon located next to the gas station in the Warehouse District.

Farm Town has two teleportation beacons, I need you to go unlock the one to the north, just north of the Hillside Farmhouse. You need to go through the passage north of the Warehouse District. Remember to bring 2 Pipe Bombs when you go.

Remember to unlock the J-Lab beacon, it's in a room on the easternmost side of the first floor.

Have you found a way to enter the Storm Zone? The Storm Zone is quite dangerous, with constant Level 2 space storms raging year-round. Make sure to prepare thoroughly before entering. After entering the Storm Zone, go straight ahead, and in the first temporary camp on your left, you'll find the Storm Zone beacon.

The samples you obtained are quite helpful for my research, but further experiments require higher concentrations of storm energy. A special type of creature appears in the storm, and the space crystals they drop perfectly meet my experimental needs. Regular physical bullets have difficulty damaging them, so try to use elemental weapons whenever possible.

You didn't disappoint me as expected. This is the final test - headshot kill Bomb Maniacs, Three-Shot Brothers, and BA Captains twice each, and you'll be qualified to wield that thing.

You did amazingly well, all snipers should learn from you! Previously, many of our comrades failed in their missions at the J-Lab laboratory. I hope you, as our role model, can go there and show us how it's done.

I don't believe my friend really disappeared. Maybe something happened and he left home to hide. Go to my house entrance in Zone Zero, the lakeside pier near a tanker truck in Warehouse Area, and in front of the statue in Farm Town's municipal square to bury some protein powder. It will definitely attract him out - no fitness duck can resist the temptation of protein powder.

Now that you have the right tools, it's time for you to show your skills. I'm counting on you for the next Experimental Materials.

I heard that lumber prices have been soaring recently. I feel like the entire sawmill is quite profitable. Both Warehouse Area and Farm Town have sawmills. I need you to do some field research.

I feel a bit of leg pain, maybe I've been using too much medicine recently. There's Leg Pain Special Medicine in the red duck camp in Zone Zero, help me bring it back.

I'm feeling some hand pain again. There's Hand Pain Special Medicine hidden in the green house on the south side of the ravine in Warehouse Area, please bring it back quickly.

I'm feeling a bit of a headache again. Go look for it in the pharmacy in Farm Town, and also kill three black ducks to help improve my mood.

The previous headache medicine didn't seem particularly effective. Go to the Farm Town sanatorium and get me some strong painkillers. But it might also be because I didn't kill enough black ducks, so kill a few more while you're at it.

Thanks to the medicines you helped me find, I feel much better and can now train my body at full capacity again. My friend mentioned a special high-potency Protein Powder before he disappeared, and I'd like to try it too. Help me look for it on the first floor of the Farm Town office building.

I usually work part-time delivering packages. Courier work is both cool and profitable, I'm sure you'd be interested. The entry-level job is very simple: pick up the package from next to the red truck at the Warehouse Area sawmill, and deliver it to the red truck next to the gas station.

Very good, the boss was very satisfied last time and gave us new work with much better pay. This time the package is at the door of the green house south of the ravine. Deliver it to the office inside the red warehouse in the west factory area, next to those two red oil drums.

Congratulations on being promoted to Senior Courier! Our business has expanded to Farm Town. Pick up the package from next to the oil tanker at the Farm Town Mercenary camp entrance, and deliver it to the red car inside the Farm Town radar station. This package is quite heavy, and there might be fires nearby, so it's best to wear fire-resistant clothing and bring a bigger bag!

You've completed all the previous work excellently, but to become an expert courier and earn big money, you still need to improve efficiency. Try delivering two orders at once: the first from next to the cabin at Farm Town sawmill to next to the dry well at Farm Town farmhouse, the second from the entrance of the guard room on the east side of the Farm Town northern industrial area to the room on the east side of Farm Town sanatorium. Plan your route well, and courier work will be twice as effective.

You're now an expert courier and can handle cross-regional business. This delivery is from deep in the Warehouse Area cellar to the office inside the southeast chemical factory building in Farm Town. Both places have toxic gas leaks, so remember to wear a gas mask!

Cross-regional orders pay quite well. This delivery is from the camp by the forest path in Zone Zero to the entrance of the restroom on the first floor of the Farm Town central office building.

Order volume has surged recently, and we're running short on cardboard boxes and duct tape for courier packaging. Could you help get some? Also bring a pair of scissors.

Our hideout has taken initial shape, it's time to venture toward the distant stars and seas! Building our teleportation device is the first step. With the teleportation device, we can instantly travel to various areas, provided you've activated beacons in those areas.

The places you found are really nice, but my fishing rod broke a couple days ago. I want to repair it and upgrade it at the same time, can you help me?

Since I started using the new fishing rod, I've never come back empty-handed! What? You don't believe me? Give me a bucket, and I'll fill it up when I come back.

To make training twice as effective, I need something that can enhance my strength during training. But I'm still missing some materials, bring me some and I can make two for you as well.
