The next morning.

Jiang Mian was awakened early by a feeling of hunger and tossed and turned, unable to fall back asleep.

It was likely the continuous strengthening of her body by the [Tides], along with the rapid increase in her mental strength, that made her "digestion" speed exceptionally fast.

So even before the upgrade, their appetite has already increased.

It had just devoured more than a dozen second-tier creatures last time, and it had already digested them all in no time.

Moreover, once she reached the third tier, the "satisfaction" provided by lower-tier calamities became quite limited.

Almost every difference in quality results in a tenfold decrease in performance, which is simply not enough to satisfy her needs.

"Thirty units of Tier 3..."

There's still so much left, I really want to kill to my heart's content...

No, I have to find a way to get around Ye Chenyang and have a good meal!

If you can't finish it, you have to take it with you!

Otherwise, it would be difficult to feel at ease if we hadn't stockpiled any grain.

I'll find an opportunity to throw my clones into the sea today.

Since the clones are essentially made of water, moving around in the sea is like being back home.

If a core with suitable properties is refined and used as a "battery", the battery life and stability will be greatly improved.

Moreover... perhaps we could not only equip it with one, but also try dual-core or even triple-core driving?

Besides, with her current mental strength, it's not impossible for her to control several at the same time.

Jiang Mian checked the time and felt it was about time, so she got up, changed out of her pajamas, washed up, and went out.

Ye Chenyang went out last night.

Without a doubt, they went to investigate those with the disease, and who knows what they found.

She couldn't help but miss the days when she had a clone to run errands.

It has to be said that it is indeed convenient; you can control it remotely from your bed.

To save costs, all you need is a camera; you don't even need an outer casing or cover.

However, doing so would definitely increase the risk of exposure significantly, especially with Xiao Song and Ye Chenyang present.

Jiang Mian pushed open Ye Chenyang's half-closed door.

Clearly, he had gotten up early and left the door open for her.

Ye Chenyang was looking out the window at the sky, seemingly lost in thought.

He had just turned around when his gaze was drawn to a dazzling expanse of white.

Jiang Mian changed her outfit today, wearing a simple short-sleeved shirt as an inner layer and a waterproof jacket on top.

Presumably for ease of movement, she wore a pair of fitted dark shorts that reached mid-thigh.

Her legs have smooth and graceful lines, while her slender ankles are also visible.

His gaze lingered for only a brief moment before he said good morning.

After a quick breakfast, the two set off.

Jiang Mian had already gotten a general idea of ​​the activity area map last night.

Overall, it looks like a funnel, divided into three layers from the inside out, representing the third to the first level.

With her current pass level, she can only enter the level 3 activity area.

Starting from the hotel, the two headed east, where pedestrians and buildings became increasingly scarce, and checkpoints could be seen in the distance.

It was a building that resembled a fortress.

Once inside, all you could see were Awakened Ones, mostly in standard five-person teams.

However, among them, those who have awakened along the [All Spirits] path are still very rare.

It's not that they're not needed, but rather that many of the teams here are temporary.

These "nannies" themselves lack combat skills and have no teammates they can trust, so they prefer to choose stable logistical positions within the city.

Because there were many people, the two lined up at a checkpoint, and it looked like they would have to wait for a while.

Jiang Mian looked up at the scrolling screen above.

Friendly reminder: The waves have been quite high recently, please be careful and do not venture too far out...

storm?

It seems there are indeed some.

She could keenly sense that the "wind" in the distance was gathering in one direction, and it seemed to have been going on for some time.

Considering the "earthquake" I experienced when I got off the bus yesterday, the current anomalies must also be influenced by that calamity.

However, with the outer sea defense line blocking it, it shouldn't affect this area.

Jiang Mian withdrew her gaze, vaguely sensing that the eyes around her were gradually focusing on her.

She looked around and saw that everyone was wearing some kind of equipment and was fully armed.

Looking at herself, dressed simply and with an eye-catching appearance, her style seemed a bit off; she didn't look like someone who had come to hunt for calamities at all.

"Brother Ye..."

Jiang Mian tugged at Ye Chenyang's sleeve and asked:

"Don't we need to bring any more bullets or equipment?"

The box containing the 'Comet' was being carried by Ye Chenyang.

In addition, there were some miscellaneous items in the bag on his back.

In contrast, Jiang Mian looked relaxed and genuinely like someone on a picnic.

Leaving aside the live-fire mode of the 'Comet', even the "Elemental Bullet" mode has two charging methods:

First, install the Calamity Core along the [Natural Calamity] path. The bullets fired will have attributes related to the core's attributes and can be amplified by wind fields.

Secondly, she uses her own abilities to mobilize the wind element for energy.

It's fair to say that the product is indeed a good product, but it's a bit bulky.

If you simply let her use a "Tier 1" [Eye of the Storm] to charge up, she'll probably be drained in just a few shots.

Ye Chenyang turned around and saw that she looked a little flustered. He knew she was uncomfortable with the stares from those around her, so he explained:

"Before officially entering the event area, there is a buffer zone where official shops will sell some equipment."

"Moreover, there are quite a few people setting up stalls there, and many of them are selling the core products, so we can just buy them on the spot."

"oh."

Jiang Mian responded with a reply.

No wonder we came here directly; there's a trading area outside.

She looked ahead and saw that beyond the checkpoint lay an extremely long corridor.

The other side of the passage is probably the buffer zone that Ye Chenyang mentioned.

After waiting for a while, it was finally Jiang Mian and his companion's turn.

The inspector was a middle-aged woman with a serious face.

Seeing Jiang Mian's attire, she glanced at her with surprise, took the pass, and swiped it on the sensor.

Her basic information immediately popped up on the screen:

"Jiang Mian, Sequence 48, [Eye of the Storm], Tier 1, Permission Level: Level 3."

This pass itself is essentially a location tracking and alarm device.

If the holder accidentally enters an area that does not meet the permission level, a vibration will be activated immediately to alert them.

Seeing that she was indeed a newcomer, and a rare high-ranking one at that, the inspector couldn't help but ask another question:

"Is this your first time here?"

Jiang Mian nodded.

The inspector handed back the card, reminding the inspector:

"Young lady, although the Level 3 area is relatively safe, it is still the wilderness. Those creatures in the sea don't recognize people. Be careful."

"Um... thank you," Jiang Mian said softly.

Ye Chenyang stepped forward, handed over his pass, and naturally took over the conversation:

"Thank you for the reminder. We'll go check out the buffer zone first and familiarize ourselves with the environment."

The inspector glanced at him again, and seeing that he seemed to know the ropes well, he didn't say anything more and swiped his card to let him pass.

The two walked into the long corridor, one after the other.

Where Ye Chenyang couldn't see, Jiang Mian blinked, suppressing the golden light deep within her eyes.

"Finally, we can eat..."
