My apocalyptic heroine has come true

It took Xia Xiaochi a whole morning to completely dissect the bodies of the three gray mice.

She was not good at dealing with the corpses of mutant species, and she didn't know where the energy crystal in the gray rat's body was hidden, so she had to cut it into pieces.

Although she had hunted these creatures with some seniors when she was a scavenger team before, Xia Xiaochi was always pushed away by the adults and could not touch the spoils at all, so she had no idea where the crystals were located in the bodies of these mutants.

There was no skin or internal organs. Xia Xiaochi finally found two pieces of broken stones in the gray rat's head.

These stones are very small, about the size of peanuts. They are hidden in the pituitary gland of the gray mouse and look like small pituitary tumors at first glance.

If it wasn't emitting the same crystal blue light as the dispersing lamp, it would be easily overlooked.

"These should be energy crystals."

Xia Xiaochi weighed the two small stones in his hands.

It's estimated to be less than two grams.

Xia Xiaochi was not disappointed about this.

She had already exceeded her expectations to get something out of her first hunt.

“That’s a great start.”

Xia Xiaochi carefully put the energy crystal into his pocket and felt very satisfied.

Then she stared at the pieces of flesh on the soles of her feet and hesitated.

"Cut off the head and tail, empty the internal organs..."

Our predecessors said that most mutant species are not edible, as the heavy metals and radiation pollution contained in their bodies can be harmful to the human body.

But in the doomsday world, when the human body faces absolute hunger, the so-called harm is not worth mentioning.

If it were the Xia Xiaochi of the past, she would choose to cut off a small piece of meat and cook it to try.

But now...

After some careful consideration.

Xia Xiaochi decided not to take the risk.

With the System Brother feeding her, Xia Xiaochi had no shortage of food. Furthermore, bringing mutant meat back to the shelter without permission wasn't a good idea, as it would easily spoil and breed bacteria.

Xia Xiaochi used a metal cart to dump the pieces of meat as far away as possible. He supported himself with one hand on his crutch and pulled the cart with the other hand to return to the shelter.

The wheels of the cart were of very poor quality and two of them fell off on the way back. Xia Xiaochi picked up some used tires on the way and returned with the cart fully loaded with tires.

It was already afternoon when we returned to the shelter.

Rubbing his hungry stomach, Xia Xiaochi began to plan his lunch.

There were also a large number of compressed biscuits and candies in the warehouse, as well as so much drinking water that Xia Xiaochi doubted he would be able to finish it in his lifetime.

These days, food resources have been piling up in the warehouse like they are free of charge. As long as she is not paying attention, the system brother will replenish her stock. This results in her being unable to finish eating. The food in the warehouse is piling up more and more, which is quite luxurious.

In the past, this was something Xia Xiaochi would not even dare to dream of.

"I've used up a lot of energy today, so I'll eat an extra piece of compressed biscuit and some vitamins..."

Make a plan secretly in your mind.

A smile appeared on Xia Xiaochi's lips. She felt very happy now.

However, when she arrived at the door of the shelter.

Xia Xiaochi was stunned.

The almond-shaped deer eyes blinked, and Xia Xiaochi's face was full of disbelief.

"This is……"

Not right.

Twelve out of ten things are wrong.

Xia Xiaochi wondered if he had come to the wrong place.

She stood at the open door of the shelter, hunching her neck and looking around at the spacious space inside.

Then she stepped back ten meters and looked up at the building that had housed her for four days.

This is the only shelter nearby, so Xia Xiaochi couldn't have gone wrong.

but……

This scale.

How come it feels so much bigger?

She was only out for a morning...and System Brother gave her a major upgrade to her shelter?

原本3x3x3的立方体发生了改变，高度虽然依旧是3米，但长度和宽度已经拓展成了10米。

Xia Xiaochi stood under the shelter, which had already begun to take shape, with a turbulent look in his eyes.

She suddenly felt her own insignificance.

In the blink of an eye...

The shelter expanded from nine square meters to a full one hundred square meters!

It is said that recycled metals have great scalability...

But this is too strong.

And how does it work? What about energy consumption?

Xia Xiaochi had just been dealing with the corpse of a gray rat a few hundred meters away. She was sure that there was absolutely no large transport equipment passing by nearby.

Xia Xiaochi discovered that he knew almost nothing about this shelter.

But she had no way of exploring this aspect.

After confirming that he still had authority over the shelter, Xia Xiaochi walked in dragging his cart of waste.

The 80-centimeter-wide plastic bed seemed to have shrunk into the vast space.

Even the waste that usually piles up in the corner and can hardly be stacked up appears more spacious due to the increase in space.

On the way home today, Xia Xiaochi was still thinking that he had to restrain himself from picking up less trash, otherwise it would be terrible if the house couldn't hold it anymore...

But now, she realized that she was worrying too much.

The system boss was more thoughtful than her.

Xia Xiaochi's eyes lit up when he thought about picking up more trash and making more furniture to put in the shelter in the future.

Enter the shelter.

Xia Xiaochi looked around curiously.

The clean floor, the spacious space, and the ever-operating blue dispersal lamp...

I don’t know if it was Xia Xiaochi’s illusion.

She noticed that the walls of the shelter had become smoother than before.

The originally dark brown walls turned a little whiter, and the mottled rust on them disappeared, replaced by rows of silver lines with a sense of technology.

It looks a lot more advanced.

A shelter of this size is no longer just a temporary shelter; it has more spacious space and a more livable environment.

Xia Xiaochi looked a little excited, and she couldn't wait to speak to the monitor.

"Brother System... have you upgraded the shelter?"

After saying that, Xia Xiaochi thought again that upgrading the shelter in one go must have consumed a lot of energy points.

So she carefully took out two small blue stones from her inner pocket, held them in both hands, and gently placed them on the central controller.

This is the energy crystal that she had spent the whole morning peeling out of the gray rat's head.

Even if it's just a little bit, I hope these energy crystals can bring help to the system brother.

the other side.

Fang Ming, who had just finished a few sets of rehabilitation exercises, was gasping for breath.

The awakened muscles immediately gave him a sore feeling.

After drinking a whole bottle of hot water, Fang Ming wiped the sweat off his face and finally had time to take out his phone to check the game.

After the phone was unlocked, the game that was put on hold in the background popped up a series of prompts.

"……Um?"

Fang Ming was also surprised when he saw these prompts.

[The health value of the game character 'Xia Xiaochi' has been increased. ]

【Your shelter level has been upgraded. 】

【Unlock new features: equipment upgrade】

Chapter 19 Online Dating

This morning, after helping Xia Xiaochi kill three large gray rats, Fang Ming stopped watching the game.

He estimated that it would take the heroine a long time to deal with the gray mouse with her broken leg, and thought that he would be able to see the results when he returned after training.

Originally, Fang Ming planned to get some energy points.

As a result, the harvest this time was much greater than Fang Ming had imagined.

[Name: Xia Xiaochi]

[Shelter: Unnamed]

[Health value: 22]

Xia Xiaochi's health value was only 18 points yesterday. This worrying health value did not change at all. Fang Ming was anxious about this for two days, but soon he calmed down.

According to the detailed introduction in the last game, the "health value" does not only refer to the health level of the heroine.

This value is affected by various factors, including physical health, mental health, and even mood.
