Survival in the apocalypse, teammate Xia Shiyu at the start

[Newcomer King: This title can only be obtained by independently defeating the final boss in the Newbie Trial mode. Players holding this title will receive +1 privilege level, a 10% discount on all items in the Survival Shop, and a chance to trigger a hidden quest in each game.]

This title is not only prestigious, but also very effective.

A +1 privilege level means he can enjoy better treatment than players of the same level.

When redeeming items in the Survival Mall, all items are discounted by 10%, which can save him a considerable amount of points over time.

Finally, there's a chance to trigger a hidden quest and obtain even greater in-game rewards.

It's easy to imagine that players who hold this title will grow much faster than others.

Even with the system as a cheat code, the title of Rookie King is still very helpful for Shen Zhao.

Let's look at the next reward.

[Mission Exemption Card: After use, you can directly complete the main quest of the current game scene and leave that scene.]

After reading the instructions, four words popped into Shen Zhao's mind: a get-out-of-jail-free card!

This item is essentially a get-out-of-jail-free card for players.

If you encounter a deadly crisis in a survival game, you can use this mission exemption card to immediately pass the level and leave.

Of course, the premise is that you don't get instantly killed and don't even have a chance to use items.

The third reward.

[Advanced Survival Shop Pass: 3/3. Use to enter the Advanced Survival Shop and redeem one item.]

Upon seeing the name "Advanced Survival Mall," Shen Zhao suddenly realized what it meant.

No wonder there were hardly any powerful items in the product list they saw on the trading terminal.

It turns out the Survival Shop is divided into different levels.

This pass essentially allows him to redeem high-level equipment three times in advance.

After seeing the rewards for defeating the final boss, Shen Zhao felt they were reasonably satisfactory.

If he didn't have the sign-in system, these three rewards would be even more valuable.

The problem is that if that were the case, he would most likely not have the chance to kill the Corpse King independently and obtain those rewards.

Thinking about this, Shen Zhao couldn't help but feel curious.

Even someone with cheat codes like him had such a hard time, so is it really possible for other new players to kill the final boss?

Thinking about it again, it's not entirely impossible.

For example, there might be a powerful piece of equipment hidden in some corner of the city that can kill the Zombie King.

Or perhaps the Corpse King possesses some fatal weakness that he hasn't discovered.

Or perhaps superhuman beings have been brought into the game.

Shen Zhao didn't dwell on it too much.

The battle is over, it's time to go home and relax.

However, there are still some follow-up matters to be dealt with before that.

Shen Zhao walked towards the stands next to the stadium.

After searching carefully for most of the day amidst the ruins of a battlefield, they finally found the remains of a lightsaber.

The casing and other parts have been reduced to rubble.

But the blood-red cairn crystal still lay intact and quietly amidst the dust.

Shen Zhao breathed a sigh of relief and bent down to pick up the red crystal.

In a lightsaber, only the Kelp crystal is the irreplaceable core component.

As long as the Kyber Crystal remains, he can create a new lightsaber for himself using the methods recorded in the Force legacy.

A lightsaber you make yourself might be easier to use than one given by the system.

From this perspective, it could be considered a blessing in disguise.

After finding the Keber Crystal, Shen Zhao wandered around again and found a set of sportswear in the stadium building to put on.

Then he returned to the corpse of the Corpse King, took a sharp piece of shard, and began to dissect it.

He wasn't taking revenge on the corpse, of course; he was trying to retrieve the Adamantium blade that had been shot into the Corpse King's body during the explosion.

These things are all treasures and cannot be thrown away casually.

After a great deal of effort, Shen Zhao finally managed to pull out what he wanted from the bloody mess.

They searched the area around the crater several times, digging deep, and successfully recovered most of the Adamantium alloy blades.

By the time the cleanup was finished, it was already getting dark.

It's quite a distance from here to the shelter.

Shen Zhao did not return in the dark, but planned to stay in the stadium and find a place to spend the night before going back the next day.

This is done because once the Zombie King is killed, most of the zombies will return to their previous activity patterns after their berserk state is over, becoming nocturnal.

There will be fewer obstacles if you set off during the day.

Secondly, the sign-in reward tomorrow might make his journey home smoother.

Chapter 43 The TX Terminator Returns!

On the morning of a new day, Shen Zhao opened the system to sign in.

"Ding! Daily check-in successful, reward received: [TX-type Terminator]. Please claim your reward."

The TX-type Terminator is an advanced combat robot from the Terminator series.

It is driven by a plasma reactor.

The skeleton, weighing over 150 kilograms, is made of ultra-high-strength alloy and covered with a layer of liquid metal skin.

It possesses amazing impact resistance and ultra-precise local deformation capabilities.

TX's mobile suits are equipped with a variety of weapons.

The right hand can transform into a powerful ion cannon, capable of destroying an armored vehicle with a single shot.

It is also equipped with secondary weapons such as flamethrowers.

The left hand can be transformed into various tools such as a chainsaw.

It can also freely infiltrate computer systems and control various electronic devices by injecting virus-modifying programs through nano-injectors.

In terms of direct combat ability alone, the TX Terminator is probably no match for 2B, whom he acquired before.

But it has more diverse abilities and a unique skill.

That is, through the deformation capabilities of liquid metal, TX can mimic anyone it comes into contact with.

This gives TX an extremely strong infiltration capability, making it highly effective for carrying out covert operations such as infiltration and assassination.

Shen Zhao accepted the reward items directly.

A stunningly beautiful and sexy blonde woman in a red dress appeared before me.

It was the disguise TX wore when he appeared in the movie Terminator 3.

However, it only has the appearance of a beautiful woman; its internal structure is still cold metal.

In comparison, the white-haired beauty 2B, who is completely modeled after the human body, is more realistic.

It's warm and moisturizing from the inside out.

"It's time to go back."

Shen Zhao got up, stretched, and walked out of the stadium.

With the powerful TX Terminator, plus the Black Ghost that can be resummoned after the death cooldown ends.

The journey back was much easier.

After half an hour.

Under the protection of TX Terminator and Black Ghost, Shen Zhao successfully returned to the outside of the shelter.

She raised her hand to knock on the door and said loudly, "Saeko, Shiho, I'm back."

The door opens from inside.

A group of beautiful women, both young and old, came into view.

At the very front were Saeko Busujima and Kasumigaoka Utaha, who was so excited she had tears in her eyes.

Sawamura Sayuri stood behind, holding her daughter Eriri's hand, with 2B standing behind them, his expressionless face blank.

The purple-haired mature woman bowed and said, "Shen Jun, welcome back. You must be tired from your journey."

Shi Yu also bent down, and then couldn't hold back any longer and rushed out to throw herself into Shen Zhao's arms.

With a sob in her voice, she cried out, "Shen Jun, you're finally back! I was so worried about you!"

Shen Zhao said he was going out to scout before he left, but he didn't return until nightfall.

The girls immediately realized that something was wrong.

Fortunately, they received a game notification that the Corpse King had been killed.

2B also stated that she could sense that the Commander was still alive.

Therefore, it was speculated that Shen Zhao might have been injured in the battle with the Corpse King and was forced to stay outside to recuperate.

Kasumigaoka Utaha's first thought was to go out and find someone.

Saeko Busujima calmly stopped her.

They didn't know Shen Zhao's exact location, and it was getting dark.

Going out would not only make it difficult to find people, but would also put you in a dangerous situation.

Moreover, Saeko had great confidence in Shen Zhao's abilities and suggested waiting until dawn the next day to make further plans.

So, apart from Eriri, who had only a casual relationship with Shen Zhao, the other girls had been waiting all night without sleeping.

Saeko Busujima is even preparing to go out with 2B to try their luck.

Finally, the knocking on the door sounded.

Shen Zhao gently patted Shi Yu's back and said with a smile, "I'm sorry to have worried you."

"I fought the big boss yesterday, and all my equipment was destroyed. So I just spent the night outside."

Saeko Busujima smiled genuinely with joy: "It's alright, it's good that you're back. Please come in."

Shen Zhao carried Shi Yu and entered the room surrounded by the women.

Mrs. Sawamura brought over a glass of water and said with concern, "Shen-kun, you must be hungry. I'll go get you something to eat right away."

Shen Zhao nodded: "Thank you for your trouble, Mrs. Sawamura."

His system space could only hold reward items, so he naturally didn't bring any food when he went out.

Even death and rebirth cannot fill an empty stomach.

I was starving by now.

After eating and drinking to his heart's content, served by Saeko and Shiha, Shen Zhao went into the bathroom to take a shower and change out of his dirty sportswear.

The original shower in the bathroom was obviously no longer usable, so they made a makeshift sprayer themselves.

Just as I hung up the bucket full of mineral water, the bathroom door behind me was pushed open.

Saeko Busujima walked in with Utaha Kasumigaoka.

"Shen Jun, let us help you."

Shen Zhao was somewhat surprised that the two of them arrived together, but he was even more delighted.

Gazing at the two faces, each with its own unique charm yet equally beautiful, the passion in my heart instantly rekindled and soared.
