Chapter 50
Yun Xiaoxiao walked behind Lu Chen.
The familiar panel appeared before her eyes once again, displaying Lu Chen's information.
[Name: Lu Chen!
Age: Twenty-one!
Abilities: Lightning ability! Light ability!
Ability Level: High-rank Level One!
Goodness Rating: 60%
Intimacy: 5%]
After seeing this information, Yun Xiaoxiao's lips twitched.
She couldn't believe that big brother's intimacy with her was only 5%!
Compared to Nie Yizhou's 90%, it was incredibly low.
However, she was confident that she would definitely make this intimacy rise to 100%!
Still, she was curious about how Lu Chen's ability had reached high-rank Level One.
Could it be that he had consumed zombie crystal cores?
In her previous life, she had been too young to know when people had discovered that consuming zombie crystal cores could enhance ability levels, or when it had become popular.
Could it be that it had already started this early?
Just then, Little Di's voice rang out in Yun Xiaoxiao's consciousness.
[Host, this Scumbag Detection Panel has two special functions.
As long as someone's intimacy with you reaches sixty, you can earn points, one point per day.
If the intimacy is seventy, you can earn two points per day, and so on.
These points can be used to exchange for items in the system mall.]
Yun Xiaoxiao: System... mall?
As Little Di's voice faded, the next second, a machine appeared suspended in mid-air within her mind.
The machine looked a bit like an automatic vending machine for drinks and snacks.
However, the items it sold were very special.
Currently, there were only three items inside.
Above them were descriptions of their functions.
Below were their corresponding prices.
1. Level Two Ability Evolution Potion.
Function: Helps ability users enhance their power.
Price: Ten points!
2. Anti-grab Headgear.
Function: Protects the user's head and neck from zombie bites and scratches, preventing infection by the zombie virus. Becomes invisible when worn, not affecting the user's appearance. Automatically deactivates after being damaged by zombies three times.
Price: Twenty points!
3. Ultimate Weapon -- Lord Slasher.
Function: Inflicts maximum damage on zombies and mutated plants and animals. Has two forms: Form One, Red Tasseled Spear, can pierce giant boulders with one thrust; Form Two: Great Cleaver, can cut through thick iron with one swing.
Price: Fifty points!
In the upper right corner of the vending machine was a bright screen.
It showed that she currently had four points.
It seemed these were contributed by Nie Yizhou.
Yun Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow, thinking that Nie Yizhou might be of some use after all.
[The second special function of the Scumbag Detection Panel is that once someone harbors ill intentions towards you, their name will flash red and sound an alarm. You can be aware of it immediately and take precautions.]
Yun Xiaoxiao: !!!
The first special function and the shopping machine were already shocking and exciting enough.
She hadn't expected the second special function to be so perfectly suited to her needs!
This way, she could know at any time if someone wanted to harm her!
"Little Di, I love you!"
Yun Xiaoxiao suppressed the joy on her face and said in her mind.
If Little Di were visible like Baymax, Yun Xiaoxiao would definitely hug and kiss it!
This system was simply the ultimate support!
[Host, Little Di loves you too!]
[Ding! Next mission activated: Eliminate all zombies in a residential compound!
Reward: Ten similar residential areas!]
Yun Xiaoxiao's eyes suddenly lit up.
In that case, they should definitely go to a villa district!
Fewer zombies, and the houses are bigger and better!
[Ahem... Host, you can only choose middle to high-end ordinary residential areas, not villa districts.]
Yun Xiaoxiao: ......
As Yun Xiaoxiao was thinking about the mission, she suddenly noticed that Lu Chen had stopped walking and was looking back at something.
She followed Lu Chen's gaze.
"Big brother, what are you looking at?"
Lu Chen didn't answer her, but instead sent a bolt of lightning directly towards a corner of the street.
"Oh my goodness, you scared me to death!"
Nie Yizhou's voice suddenly rang out from the other side.
He patted his chest, still in shock.
Lu Chen frowned and was about to act again when Nie Yizhou hurriedly waved his hands, "Wait, wait, wait, I'm not a bad guy, I know this kid..."
Before he could finish his sentence, he felt an unfriendly gaze.
He looked at Yun Xiaoxiao, who was warning him with her eyes, and his lips trembled as he quickly changed his tune.
"Uh... what I mean is, I'm here to join you guys!
You saw earlier, I can teleport, and my nose is very sensitive.
If I'm with you, I can help if anyone approaches or if there's any sudden situation."
Nie Yizhou's eyes were sincere.
Lu Chen's gaze shifted between him and Yun Xiaoxiao.
Then, he looked at Yun Xiaoxiao.
"Do you know him?"
Yun Xiaoxiao hurriedly waved her hands and said with an awkward smile, "No, no, how could I possibly know him?"
"Right, right, right, I don't know her, really don't know her," Nie Yizhou chimed in.
Yun Xiaoxiao: .......
What a liability!
Sure enough, Lu Chen no longer looked at either of them and turned to leave.
Yun Xiaoxiao shot Nie Yizhou a fierce glare.
It's all your fault!
Nie Yizhou gave an innocent look.
It's not my fault, kid!
I didn't mean to.
Lu Chen walked in front, while the two followed behind.
When he walked, they walked.
When he stopped, they stopped.
Nie Yizhou moved closer to Yun Xiaoxiao and gently bumped her.
"Hey, kid, why do you insist on following this ice block? Look, he doesn't even acknowledge you."
Yun Xiaoxiao gave him a sidelong glance, "And whose fault is that?"
Isn't it normal for big brother to ignore her?
To him, she was just a stranger who suddenly appeared by his side.
In the apocalypse, isn't it natural to be cautious of strangers who approach?
Nie Yizhou rubbed his nose and said no more.
The three of them passed through this street and headed towards another.
But they encountered more than a dozen zombies coming towards them.
As soon as they appeared, the zombies, like cats smelling blood, immediately turned their heads to look at them.
Their gray-white dead fish eyes stared at them fixedly, as if wanting to tear them apart and devour them.
Nie Yizhou swallowed hard and very consciously hid behind Yun Xiaoxiao.
He looked completely unapologetic.
This wasn't being cowardly, this was valuing one's life!
The zombies howled and charged straight at them, baring their teeth and claws as they pounced towards Lu Chen at the front.
Just as Lu Chen was about to move, a small figure quickly darted out from behind him, wielding a red-tasseled spear, and with one thrust, burst the zombie's head.
Without hesitation, she pulled out the spear and aimed at another zombie.
Watching the small figure continuously weaving between the zombies, as they fell one by one, Nie Yizhou's face was full of admiration and pride.
Lu Chen, on the other hand, narrowed his eyes.
Hadn't she just said she was afraid of zombies?
This one-hit, one-kill precision - is this what fear looks like?
And those moves and techniques, why did they seem so... familiar?
