Chapter 204

Song Yu was startled by the sudden sound. He looked up and immediately saw a pitiful-looking old acquaintance.

Xin Jia.

But isn't this just too tragic for her?

Song Yu looked at Xin Jia, who was hiding in a tree with a pale face, and sighed.

Xin Jia's current situation is even worse than when she encountered the AI ​​army and the explosion; her lower body has almost disappeared!

"What... what's going on with you?"

Song Yu grabbed a vine and easily jumped onto the tree trunk where Xin Jia was hiding.

Upon hearing Song Yu's voice, Xin Jia's tears immediately welled up.

"Alright, alright, it's nothing."

Song Yu patted Xin Jia on the shoulder, "Poor child."

This isn't just a serious injury; this is clearly someone who's about to die.

"I encountered a predator yesterday."

Xin Jia once again turned into a crybaby, accepting the tissues and bandages handed to her by Song Yu through teary eyes.

Song Yu didn't have any medical equipment either, so she couldn't help Xin Jia.

Honestly, given Xin Jia's situation, there's only one word for her in this instance: death.

Unless a miracle occurs.

Rather than let her be killed by a predator, it's better to let her get away with it.

Song Yu thought to himself.

However, since Xin Jia is a summoner, whether she has a lower body or not doesn't affect her ability to summon creatures.

Her chances of survival are quite high.

Seeing Xin Jia's miserable state, Song Yu took out some materials from the pocket of his backpack.

"Let me see if I can make you a mechanical lower body to use for now."

"Waaaaah, Song Yu—"

Xin Jia looked at Song Yu with emotion; she had thought Song Yu would kill her.

After all, her current situation is perfect for taking advantage of someone's misfortune.

Song Yu gave her a fake smile. If it were any other time, and she had figured out the world better, she would have been able to make her move.

Unfortunately, the situation is still unclear. Having Xin Jia, who is half-crippled, is better than having none. If necessary, she can be used as a scapegoat.

"What's the situation with your predator?"

As Song Yu assembled the machinery, he asked questions.

"I'm so unlucky."

With a pained expression, Xin Jia wiped away her tears and told Song Yu about what happened yesterday.

"I was assigned to the same house as a male player."

Xin Jia was truly unlucky; she was dragged down by that idiot.

Sometimes, the impact of a bad teammate is more terrifying than that of a formidable enemy.

The village that Xin Jia was assigned to was specifically for couples to live together.

There are female-female-female-male-male-male assignment systems, and unfortunately, Xin Jia was assigned to a male.

At first glance, Xin Jia thought the man seemed quite reliable.

Because the situation was unclear, no action was taken against that player.

Who knew that on that very day, he would take in a new player.

It's said to be his relative's child, and then...

"Oh haha."

Song Yu revealed a subtle expression; this male player was both highly skilled and daring.

They haven't even figured out the rules yet, and they still dare to take people in.

"There are regulations on the number of people allowed in each house in each village. If the number changes..."

Song Yu didn't need to say anything for Xin Jia to understand; in fact, she had already sensed it when the predator visited her.

"He took the player in, and that night the predators came after the house I was staying at."

“Those predators are very strong. When facing them, I feel that I can only use about 50% of my strength.”

"Predators may have a natural dominance over their prey."

"Later, I teamed up with my roommate to kill a predator, but you saw the price we paid."

"He might not be stupid. He might just be using that new player to test the predator and explore the way."

Who knew that he overestimated his abilities and ended up dragging Xin Jia down with him.

"Dead yet?"

Song Yu raised his eyes and asked.

"I don't think so."

At this point, a smile finally appeared on Xin Jia's face.

She and Song Yu exchanged a glance and immediately understood each other's thoughts; an evil idea arose spontaneously within them.

A severely injured player is very profitable!
Xin Jia was also seriously injured before, so she was unable to attack that player.

She's lucky if she doesn't get killed by other players.

But when Song Yu arrived, the situation changed.

If I could kill that player and get his legacy and talent cards...

As Song Yu progressed through more and more game instances, he discovered that players were becoming increasingly difficult to kill.

No way.

We're all top-tier players with similar skill levels, so killing the other would require a significant sacrifice.

Song Yu is ranked first in strength among players, but not to the point of overwhelming or dominating.

At least compared to Sang Ning and Shen Jie, they definitely can't crush each other, but leaving them a distance behind isn't a big problem.

Let's get through today first.

Song Yu looked up at the sky; it was almost evening. They had better go to that school to spend the dangerous night.

"Alright, I'll treat your wound, and then you can try out this mechanical prosthesis."

Song Yu quickly finished tidying up the mechanical prosthetic arm before starting to treat Xin Jia's horrific wound.

Logically, we should treat Xin Jia's wounds first before dealing with other matters.

Whether out of humanity or medical ethics.

However, Song Yu is not a normal person after all, and is an unlicensed doctor, so it's not surprising that she does anything.

Xin Jia won't die from this wound anytime soon, but having a prosthetic leg will at least give her some fighting ability in case of danger.

It might hurt terribly.

As Song Yu skillfully took out her tools and materials and prepared to treat Xin Jia's wound, Xin Jia grabbed Song Yu's hand holding the scalpel with a look of horror.

"Song Yu—"

Xin Jia managed to squeeze out five words with difficulty and pitifulness, tears streaming down her face.

"Please administer anesthesia, okay?"

She's not like Sister Kidney; she's not that strong.

"Sorry, it's just a habit."

Song Yu smiled sheepishly; she hadn't used anesthetic in a long time.

"No need to apologize, just give me the anesthetic."

Xin Jia looked at Song Yu with teary eyes, not daring to let go of his hand, afraid that Song Yu would take action directly.

She only breathed a sigh of relief when Song Yu took out the anesthetic from the medical space.

Song Yu worked swiftly and efficiently, cleaning up Xin Jia's horrific wounds in less than five minutes.

An all-around doctor is an all-around doctor.

"You'll need to get some high-end medical equipment for this."

As Song Yu tidied up, he spoke to Xin Jia.

"For example?"

Xin Jia knew she needed high-level medical equipment, but she didn't have a clue how to get it for the time being.

"You can go take a look at the hospital building. You've been to that general store too; all the props there were scavenged."

Song Yu's map shows a hospital building near a volcano.

"Do you have a map?" Xin Jia asked keenly.

"You don't have it?"

Song Yu casually asked if it was a big deal that Xin Jia knew she had a map.

Compared to other players, Song Yu is closer to Xin Jia and the others.

"have a look."

Song Yu handed the map to Xin Jia; the data on it had already been recorded by the mechanical worm source virus.

It even used existing information and data from intelligent machines to create a more detailed map.

Song Yu jumped down from the tree, and black characters coalesced into a long sword which she held in her hand.

As a live mechanical virus, Song Yu believes that the mechanical worm-derived virus should still have many functions that can be developed.

For example, it could be used as an offensive weapon, or to digitize real-world objects.

However, Song Yu really didn't have much time right now.

It would be great if there were time-related items.

Song Yu jumped down from the tree, and Xin Jia tried to understand her new leg.

It's not a perfect match, but given the current situation, there's not much to complain about.

At least he can move now.

It's a little painful, since her wound hasn't healed yet.

The chain on the school gate broke with a gentle tug from Song Yu. The lock was already rusty, and Song Yu was very strong.

Upon entering the gate, the campus is overgrown with weeds, moss, and ivy, and the air is so humid that it could give anyone rheumatism.

This school may not look big, but it has all the necessary facilities, including teaching buildings, dormitories, playgrounds, and canteens.

It's just a little broken.

Song Yu and her friends were going to spend the night here, and it wasn't long before it got dark, so Song Yu and Xin Jia headed to the dormitory building first.

The dormitory building was the old-fashioned kind, with large iron gates locked on each floor.

A sinister and eerie atmosphere spread silently...

Although there are no ghosts in the dungeon world, there are creatures even more terrifying than ghosts.

Moreover, the system doesn't seem to have said anything about the dungeons being free of ghosts.

Xin Jia timidly hid behind Song Yu, but Song Yu didn't care.

What demons and monsters? All that fear stems from insufficient firepower!
"The top floor?"

Song Yu turned to look at Xin Jia and asked.

As far as predators are concerned, it doesn't matter where they live.

Song preferred the top floor, where she could at least observe the situation outside.

"It's all up to you."

Xin Jia answered softly.

She wasn't deliberately showing weakness; she was just used to it.

"Let's go."

Song Yu glanced at the sky; it wouldn't be long before nightfall. He decided to tidy up their lodgings first, and then explore the area further.

The dormitory building has seven floors and only stairs. The dormitory manager's room is at the far end of the first floor.

The stairs were covered in dust and cobwebs. Song Yu found it strange that there was so much dust in such a damp place.

But considering this is a post-apocalyptic world, it's not surprising.

We arrived at dormitory room 704. The room was very cramped, with four bunk beds in one room.

It has a small balcony and a separate bathroom, which is not bad.

Song Yu and Xin Jia worked together to search from both sides of the stairs, one on each side, and what they found depended on luck.

Upon opening the door, some of the small cabinets near the entrance were closed, while others were open.

Song Yu started searching the cabinets first, since the bed was empty and anything could be easily seen.

Unfortunately, there wasn't much in the cabinet, just some food, water, and clothes.

Song Yu didn't mind and took them all with him.

Who knows when it might come in handy?

There were eight rooms on one floor. Song Yu searched all the way to room 401 at the end of the corridor on the fourth floor before she finally found a prop under the sink on the balcony!
[A high school senior's thermos: automatically refilled with a random liquid every morning at dawn (such as purified water, nuclear wastewater, hot cocoa, energy drinks, medicine, etc.)]

The moment Song Yu saw this prop, he immediately realized that his trip to this building had not been in vain.

It wasn't a wasted risk.

I opened the thermos; there was liquid inside.

A fresh, fruity aroma wafts over you; it's 100% pure fruit juice.

Song Yu was quite lucky.

After all, this thermos can randomly produce some random, undrinkable liquids.

Nuclear wastewater is a liquid, petroleum is a liquid, ...

Song Yu poured the juice from the thermos into a cup, drank the juice, and walked out of the room.

Just then, Xin Jia also came out.

"Would you like a glass? 100% premium pure fruit juice."

Song Yu handed the cup to Xin Jia and asked.

"Thank you."

A slight smile appeared on Xin Jia's previously expressionless face, and the two tacitly refrained from discussing what they had found.

If they don't talk about it, they can maintain peace; if they do, some subtle feelings might arise between the two of them.

"By the way, Song Yu, I'm thinking of visiting the farm tomorrow. Do you want to come along?"

Xin Jia held her cup and leaned against the railing of the corridor with Song Yu, watching the sun gradually disappear on the horizon, her voice very soft.

Hopefully, we won't encounter any more predators today, at least until she recovers.

Like Song Yu, Xin Jia's food in her backpack was almost gone.

The food they currently have in their backpacks is definitely not enough to last them through the next dungeon.

Even though Song Yu and Xin Jia are both incredibly strong, they still worry about food and water like newcomers.

This is probably the difficulty the system set for them.

There will always be a few instances where food is unusually scarce.

Players like Song Yu and Xin Jia have a significantly increased need for food.

"Row."

Song Yu nodded. The farm was a good place to go; there might be some items to search for.

If the omnics fail to find any trace of Black.

Having already found the infinite thermos, Song Yu didn't have high hopes for what the school would gain next.

Xin Jia has probably found a prop, and if it's better than the thermos, then there's probably no other prop available.

If it's worse than a thermos, then there might still be some.

Let's get up early tomorrow.

Song Yu drank the last drop of juice in her glass and went back to her room with Xin Jia.

Based on the platform in the village house where the hidden stone was placed, Song Yu carved one to place the hidden stone.

Xin Jia was tidying up the room and making the bed. Even though she was now disabled, she still had to work.

In a way, Song Yu and Xin Jia were in the same boat; even together, they couldn't form a normal body.

It's too awful.

I don't know how long this state will last; external things can never compare to one's own body.

Only after the sun disappeared and the three moons reappeared in the sky did Song Yu close the door to the room.

Tonight is destined to be another dangerous night.

Song Yu and Xin Jia lay on the bed, listening to the faint whispers of the predator in their ears.

Even though the school was far from the village, they could still hear these eerie sounds.

However, the cries of human suffering were silenced.

Apart from the croaking of frogs and the sound of water in the swamp, Song Yu and Xin Jia could not hear any other sounds.

The two slept soundly through the night until dawn.
