In the apocalypse, my weapons can evolve infinitely.

"Knock knock knock",

There was a soft knock on the bedroom door; the sound was not loud and the knocking was very light.

You could tell from the person knocking on the door that they were extremely nervous and anxious.

What's going on? Could it be that she has something else to do?

As Jiang Xun pondered this, he slowly opened the door.

Standing outside the door at that moment was Tang's only remaining daughter-in-law, the woman who had been trembling in the corner earlier.

At this time, her long hair still covered her face, making it impossible to see her true appearance.

Jiang Xun looked at the other person with a puzzled expression, hoping to hear her explanation.

"Um... Mr. Jiang, your noodles are ready. You can eat now."

The woman spoke haltingly, like a frightened quail.

However, her voice was very pleasant and melodious, and even though it was intermittent, it still didn't evoke any negative feelings in people.

Making noodles? Right, I gave the other person a tube of noodles as a thank you when I first came in.

But isn't that what I'm giving in return for the other person saving my life?

Could it be that she misunderstood and thought that I was asking her to cook?

Jiang Xun didn't correct her, but instead followed the woman's lead and slowly walked to the table. At that moment, a bowl of hot noodles was neatly placed on the living room table.

This bowl of hot noodles didn't have many ingredients; the seasoning was just a little salt and soy sauce. There was almost no oil on the noodles. I don't know if it was because the sesame oil at home had run out, or if the woman didn't want to add sesame oil to herself.

However, he didn't care about any of these things.

Jiang Xun saw that there was only this one bowl of noodles on the table.

She...she's not going to eat?

Jiang Xun looked at the noodles in front of him and asked in confusion, "Just this one bowl?"

Upon hearing the other person's words, Yang Xiaoai's body trembled violently, and she immediately shook her head.

"No, no, I'll be right away, I'll be right away."

Yang Xiaoai thought the other person was upset that she only made one bowl, which wasn't enough for him.

She had been beaten so many times that she didn't want to be beaten again.

So, under Jiang Xun's questioning gaze, Yang Xiaoai immediately turned on the gas cylinder in the house and started making new noodles again using the still warm noodle soup.

This step is not complicated; in less than 2 minutes, a new bowl of noodles is made.

Looking at the steaming, fragrant noodles in the bowl, Yang Xiaoai swallowed hard, then carefully placed the new bowl of noodles back onto Jiang Xun's table.

After finishing serving, she carefully stepped aside.

That's two whole bowls of noodles! I don't know if he can finish them all, but it would be best if he left a little bit, just a tiny bit of noodles.

Then she could enjoy a delicious and satisfying meal with the remaining noodles and soup, even if it wasn't much.

But this is still noodles and noodle soup, much better than that unpalatable bone meal from before.

So, Yang Xiaoai stood to the side, staring longingly at the two large bowls of noodles on the table through her long hair.

Jiang Xun didn't say anything at this moment.

He reached into the system space again, took out two sausages, tore them open, and put them into the noodles.

Since the system's missions previously provided supplies, future missions will continue to provide new supplies as well, so he doesn't need to be stingy or haggle over such small things.

Also, while plain noodles are nice, they're too monotonous.

He wasn't entirely at ease with the woman in front of him yet; otherwise, he would have taken out all the bok choy, eggs, and other things from his spatial storage so she could use them when making noodles.

After adding the ham sausage, Jiang Xun quickly finished the bowl of noodles in front of him.

After finishing his meal, he didn't touch the other bowl of noodles.

Instead, he got up directly.

"I'm going back to my room to rest now. We'll take turns keeping watch here. You'll keep watch for the first half of the night, and then knock on my door at 2 a.m. so it's my turn to keep watch."

After Jiang Xun finished speaking, he strode towards the master bedroom.

Upon seeing this, Yang Xiaoai's eyes widened behind her long hair.

"Sir... the noodles..."

"You can have that bowl of noodles. From now on, when you cook, make sure it's enough for both of us. Don't be stingy; just ask me for more when you're done."

After he finished speaking, he ignored the other person.

He was too lazy to explain it; for now, he'd just leave it as it was.

Watching Jiang Xun return to the master bedroom and then close the door.

Yang Xiaoai looked on incredulously.

Is this prepared for me? Can I eat it too? I...

Yang Xiaoai's gaze shifted back and forth between the bedroom door and the table, moving back and forth more than ten times before she finally slowly moved to the table.

He slowly sat down, then gently picked up the bowl of noodles that was almost cold, and took a big sip of the noodle soup.

A warm, salty aroma immediately filled her taste buds.

She didn't want to know if the other person was testing or probing her.

She was so hungry, so incredibly hungry. Even if the other person killed her after she finished this bowl of rice, she would be willing to die a full-eaten ghost.

.......

Jiang Xun didn't hear the sounds of eating noodles or the soft sobbing outside.

He then returned inside and pushed the master bedroom bed against the door. This way, even if the woman suddenly tried to attack, the bed would block the door from opening abruptly.

He can react immediately.

After all, one should always be wary of others.

After doing all this, Jiang Xun took out his shiny black slingshot again, and then took out the dashcam from his storage space.

This time, he decided to use this as an upgrade component for his signature weapon.

Previous battles had taught Jiang Xun that to better hunt zombies, essential vision and reconnaissance skills were indispensable.

Therefore, he decided to prioritize addressing this weakness.

As for increasing power or adding other abilities, we can wait until future upgrades.

[The host has selected upgrade parts for their preferred weapon. Upgrading the preferred weapon will take 6 hours.]

[My signature weapon is being upgraded...]

It still took six hours. After doing all this,

Jiang Xun covered herself with the blanket and then fell into a deep sleep.

If the calculation is correct

The weapon upgrade was completed around 1 a.m.

At that time, I took turns keeping watch with the woman outside, which gave me a chance to check on my new signature weapon and the new missions issued by the system.

........

Thump thump thump, thump thump thump

The door to the master bedroom was gently knocked on again.

This instantly woke Jiang Xun from his deep sleep.

Time...is the time up?

He opened the system and saw that his signature weapon had already been upgraded.

[Ding, congratulations host, your natal weapon has been successfully upgraded.]

[Main Weapon: Alloy Air Pressure Mid-Range Slingshot, Weapon Grade: F, Weapon Damage: E]

[Weapon Effect 1: Accumulates air pressure in the slingshot, up to a maximum of 10 units. Upon firing, the air pressure is released along with the slingshot bullet, greatly increasing its lethality.]

[Weapon Effect 2: Allows you to adjust the zoom level while using a slingshot. Zoom effects are 1/2x, 1x, 2x, and 3x. Zooming requires electricity, which can be replenished automatically. If not replenished, the zoom effect can be used 10 times per day, with no upper limit.]

Wow, that's impressive! After upgrading the dashcam, the weapon now has a brand new zoom capability.

With a thought, the slingshot that had been stored in the system returned to his hand.

There was no change. After absorbing the dashcam, the slingshot is now the same as before the upgrade: dark, shiny, and exuding a cold killing intent and metallic luster.

However, the signature weapon is different at this time.

In addition to these, after you hold the slingshot, a square virtual screen appears above it.

Jiang Xun didn't notice any changes through the screen, but below this virtual screen...

It was even marked with words like 1/2, 1, 2, 3.

So, this is the new function of my signature weapon... zoom, right?
