Apocalyptic Crossover: Starting with a Guide to Winning Over Asuna

This news came out a couple of days ago; I only saw it today.

The Crimson Fortress is located further north of the Dungeon Ruins and is an important military stronghold protecting the northern part of X City.

Lu Xiao hasn't heard of any problems there yet, so he's not worried about the giants breaching the city. X City is full of hidden talents; any few of them could easily defeat the giants.

However, he was more curious about the Hidden Leaf Village.

So he opened the map and looked up the location of the Hidden Leaf Village.

The Hokage Village is discovered to be located in a forest west of X City, a land of ninjas.

I'll go check out the west side another day.

But what am I going to do tonight? I just can't sleep at all.

Pulling back the curtains, I discovered quite a few zombies wandering outside.

Lu Xiao remembered the "Sniper Elite" passive skill he had just acquired, so he opened the online marketplace and spent 10,000 yuan to buy a sniper rifle.

A dozen minutes later, the drone carrying the package flew to Lu Xiao's window.

Lu Xiao couldn't wait to open the package after receiving it. Inside was a beautifully crafted sniper rifle, along with two boxes of ammunition and a silencer.

Touching the sniper rifle, a familiar feeling washed over me; it was from Sinon's passive buff.

He then loaded the bullets and silencer, and placed the sniper rifle at the window.

They began practicing shooting at the zombies.

biu!

A bullet was fired, hitting the zombie precisely.

[Kill a zombie and gain 1 experience point.]

This is what shooting feels like, so exhilarating!

Before he transmigrated, he dreamed of owning a gun; now, he can buy an unlimited number of guns.

So that night, Lu Xiao became engrossed in fighting zombies.

He only closed the window reluctantly after running out of bullets.

At this moment, Lu Xiao suddenly realized something.

Having become a sniper expert, and with the addition of the Swift Step to break stealth and strike, ambushing people from the shadows is absolutely exhilarating.

Lu Xiao waved his hand and bought ten more boxes of ammunition online as a reserve for future use.

I yawned; it was already three in the morning. After putting the gun away, I drifted off to sleep.

I woke up again at noon.

I opened my phone and saw a text message from Asuna.

"Kirito and I have decided to go to the Red Fortress, so we won't be in the city for the next few days."

They actually went to provide support at the Red Fortress.

Lu Xiaohu was startled and immediately called Shi Nai.

"Hey, Ms. Sinon."

"What is it? Speak quickly." Sinon's tone was slightly cold.

"Asuna and Kirito went to the Red Fortress, are you going?"

"I'm not feeling well, so I won't go."

"Um, are you still not done? Should I come visit you?"

"Need not!"

Shino hung up the phone immediately.

Lu Xiao shook his head; this woman's personality was truly unfathomable.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Xiao decided to go to the Crimson Fortress to see what was going on.

If the fortress is attacked by giants and Asuna is in danger, Lu Xiao can step in to protect her and, incidentally, increase his favorability with her.

With a sniper rifle slung over his shoulder and the Serpent Fang Sword hanging from his arm, Lu Xiao hailed a taxi and headed towards the Crimson Fortress.

An hour later, Lu Xiao arrived at the Crimson Fortress.

The massive red fortress, fifty meters high, stands majestically between two mountains.

Below the fortress is a military base, where a large number of troops are stationed.

There were many vehicles parked at the entrance of the base; some people came to support the fortress, while others came to sightsee and take photos.

The base entrance has been sealed off; anyone wishing to enter must state their purpose.

"Hello, I'm here to support the Red Fortress," Lu Xiao said.

The soldier glanced at the sniper rifle on Lu Xiao's back and the sword at his waist: "Register him."

Lu Xiao registered his information.

Next, you will have to sign a three-day short contract, during which you must abide by the fortress's rules and regulations, or you will be punished.

If you want to stay after your contract ends, you can sign a longer contract, similar to the mercenary contract.

Lu Xiao glanced at the contract and felt there were no problems, so he signed it for three days.

The soldier said, "Thank you for coming to support the Red Fortress. The giants haven't launched an attack yet. I'll take you to the training ground to familiarize yourself with the combat equipment."

The soldier led Lu Xiao to the base training ground.

The so-called combat equipment refers to the 3D Maneuver Gear.

This device can be used to launch anchors at buildings or enemies, allowing for rapid movement through the air.

After receiving a set of equipment, Lu Xiao began practicing with the other people who came to provide support.

Looking at the crowd, I noticed that their techniques were all clumsy, with people flying around and falling down, getting a nosebleed.

Lu Xiao pressed the button, and a rope flew out and stuck in the building in front of him.

Immediately afterwards, a pulling sensation came, and Lu Xiao's body flew forward rapidly.

"Oh no!"

The speed was faster than expected, and Lu Xiao's body crashed directly into the wall, creating a human-shaped gap in it.

Fortunately, Lu Xiao was in good physical condition and was not injured.

Lu Xiao dusted himself off and walked out of the ruins.

At this moment, a figure flew quickly from a distance and arrived in front of Lu Xiao in a few breaths.

"How are you?"

The girl was wearing a military uniform, a tan short jacket, a white collared shirt underneath, and a 3D Maneuver Gear hanging from her waist.

With well-defined and beautiful features, a cool-toned fair complexion, and neat short hair, she exudes a calm, collected, and unapproachable warrior aura.

[Mikasa Ackerman, Affection Level 0, Combat Power 200, Difficulty Level B.]

It's Mikasa!

Lu Xiao calmed himself down and said, "I'm fine, nothing serious."

"It's alright. Let me teach you how to use the 3D Maneuver Gear."

"Great, that's exactly what I was worried about – no one to teach me."

For the next hour, Mikasa personally taught Lu Xiao how to use the device.

"You need to observe the surrounding environment in advance, and at the same time as shooting out one rope, determine the landing point of the other rope, otherwise you will end up in the situation you just experienced."

"Understood."

Lu Xiao was very smart, and his physical fitness and reaction speed were also top-notch, so he learned it very quickly.

So he followed Mikasa around the training grounds, experiencing the feeling of flying.

"Then you keep practicing, I still have to teach other people," Mikasa said.

"etc."

"Is there anything else?"

"Could you leave me your contact information? I can ask you if I have any questions."

"I don't use a cell phone. If you still have questions, you can come directly to the command center to find me. I'll be there."

After saying that, Mikasa used the 3D Maneuver Gear to fly away.

Lu Xiao was slightly disappointed, but there would be other opportunities to meet in the future, so there was no need to rush.

As soon as Mikasa left, a familiar voice came from behind.

"Lu Xiao~"

Lu Xiao looked closely and saw that it was Asuna and Kirito.

The two of them flew over using a 3D Maneuver Gear.

"Lu Xiao, you're here too!" Asuna landed in front of Lu Xiao and said with a look of surprise.

"Yes, I saw your message saying you came to the Crimson Fortress, so I rushed over," Lu Xiao said.

Are you worried about me?

"Of course, I can protect you if there's any danger," Lu Xiao said, patting his chest.

Asuna felt a warmth in her heart upon hearing this.

Asuna's affection level +5, current total affection level 70.

[Unlock the new achievement "Unwavering Devotion" and receive 7 yuan in funds. Keep up the good work!]

At that moment, Kirito also landed.

"Lu Xiao, you're here too."

"I also want to come and support the Red Fortress and contribute my own strength."

"You're much braver than I thought. Let's keep going!"

Let's cheer each other on!
