Survival in the apocalypse, teammate Xia Shiyu at the start

The old hens purchased from the Survival Mall are of very high quality, and they taste absolutely delicious when stewed.

Even Violet, who seems to lack normal human emotions, showed her love for this stewed chicken in a clay pot through her actions.

I ate a lot of chicken and drank a lot of chicken soup.

After dinner, Shen Zhao sent Violet to rest in the next room.

Although the blonde girl, who sees herself as a weapon, doesn't mind sleeping in the same bed with him.

But the princess bed in the room was a bit too cramped for three people.

Moreover, he was going to punish Qiong Mei severely tonight, so it wasn't appropriate for Violet, an "outsider," to watch.

Violet obediently went out and left.

Click.

The door is closed.

Shen Zhao called softly, "Qiong, come out for dinner."

As he finished speaking, the tablecloth was lifted, and a pretty, delicate silver-haired girl slowly crawled out from under the table.

A black positioning collar adorned her slender pink neck.

The girl's petite body had milk-white, smooth skin, which contrasted sharply with the pure white lingerie she wore.

Shen Zhao lifted Qiong's light body from the floor and placed her on his lap, sitting down opposite her.

The silver-haired little girl nestled softly in her brother's arms, her little mouth pursed, her angelic, snow-white face flushed with a rosy blush.

Shen Zhao ladled a small bowl of fragrant, steaming chicken soup from the clay pot, and personally fed a spoonful to the little girl in his arms.

"Qiong, have a sip of your favorite fresh chicken soup first, it's the most nutritious."

Kasugano Sora carefully opened her pink and delicate lips and took the ceramic soup spoon into her mouth, sipping and swallowing the delicious and rich chicken soup into her stomach.

"Gulu gulu..."

She quickly finished the entire bowl of chicken soup, not a drop was left.

The silver-haired girl touched her little belly, which was full of her brother's milk, and felt warm and comfortable inside.

"Here, have another big chicken leg." Shen Zhao picked up another chicken leg and put it in Qiong Mei's bowl. "This is something your brother specially saved for you."

Kasugano Sora looked at him pitifully with her big brown eyes: "Brother, I can't eat anymore."

"How can you eat so little?" Shen Zhao picked up a chicken leg and held it to her mouth. "Be good, open your mouth. You need to eat more to grow strong."

The silver-haired girl had no choice but to open her tiny mouth, which was then stuffed full by the large chicken leg.

"Uuuuuuu..."

Seeing Qiong Mei's adorable chubby cheeks, he laughed heartily, having successfully pulled off a prank.

After feeding Qiong Mei, Shen Zhao turned her to face him, then stood up from the chair, holding the girl's small and tender body.

"To stay healthy, you need to eat nutritious food and exercise more. Let's exercise together, Qiong."

"Whoa!"

Outside the window, the night is getting darker.

The hissing and roaring of the mist-like monsters echoed into the room where the two were.

Shen Zhao leaned close to the silver-haired girl's ear, who was shouting incessantly, and reminded her, "Qiong, keep your voice down, or you'll attract the monsters."

Upon hearing this, Kasugano Sora instinctively reached out to cover her mouth.

But as soon as she pulled her hands off her brother's neck, her upper body involuntarily leaned backward.

Startled, she quickly reached out and hugged the man's neck again to steady herself.

She tried to keep her mouth tightly shut to avoid making a sound, but this only lasted a moment before failing.

In the end, it was Shen Zhao who took action and effectively stopped the shouting inside the house.

In the next room.

With nothing to do, the blonde girl habitually took out the black and white pistols given to her by her superior and carefully cleaned them.

They seemed oblivious to the thuds and crashes coming from behind the wall.

The black one is ebony.

According to the officer, this pistol fires armor-piercing steel-core rounds, which have a long range and great power.

Violet held a handkerchief and gently wiped the gun with affection.

After wiping it, he pulled out another silver-white pistol of the same model from the holster.

The white one is white ivory.

The officer said that the gun fires hollow-point bullets with a high rate of fire and can be used for suppressive fire.

The blonde girl meticulously cleaned the two guns until they gleamed, inside and out.

He then stared in a daze at the pair of exquisitely crafted pistols, which resembled works of art.

She loved the weapon terribly.

However, no matter how beautiful a weapon is, it cannot realize its value if it cannot be used to kill enemies on the battlefield.

How much longer will she have to wait before she can use ebony and ivory to fight for her superior?

Violet longed for that moment.

Just like the black and white twin pistols she wields, named "Ebony and Ivory," she also needs to prove her worth through battle.

The blonde girl longs to fight for her superior.

On the other side, Shen Zhao finished his workout with a sense of unfinished business.

He carried the exhausted Kasugano Sora to the bedside, bent down and placed the girl on the bed, then pulled the blanket over her.

The exhausted silver-haired girl was fast asleep with her eyes closed, tears still visible at the corners of her eyes.

"She clearly can't handle it, yet she still wants to possess it all. Qiong's possessiveness is a bit too strong."

Shen Zhao shook his head.

Even when Qiong was exhausted, she refused to give in or back down until she passed out from exceeding her limits.

His stubbornness was so extreme that he really didn't know what to say.

"We need to keep increasing the intensity; if one attempt isn't enough, we'll do it several more times!"

Shen Zhao pinched Qiong's cheek and muttered to himself with unwavering determination.

Anyway, he won't get tired or bored. He has to correct Qiongmei's personality, otherwise there will probably be unrest in the family in the future.

Then, he didn't rush to bed.

Pull the chair to the window and sit down.

Looking out the pitch-black window, I began to ponder the hidden mission.

"Where exactly does the value of the Key to the World lie, and how much value does it hold?"

At this moment, he regretted killing that level 3 elite player from the Crimson Guild too early.

We should lock him up and keep him around to answer all sorts of questions, then kill him when the game is over and we leave.

That way, he wouldn't be stuck scratching his head in frustration over the hidden quest rewards.

After thinking for a while without any clue, Shen Zhao slapped his thigh and made a decision.

Since it's a reward from a hidden quest, even if its value isn't clear yet, we should still try to get our hands on it if we have the chance!

At worst, I can just put it in my inventory and keep it as a special collectible.

In that case, the question becomes how to begin completing this task.

“Destroyed five large nests of Mist Alien species containing Queen-level individuals.” Shen Zhao murmured, “If the Ironclad Crab nests count, then the Flesh-Eating Centipedes, which can fight against them, should also count.”

There were traces of flesh-eating centipede larvae escaping near this residence.

Although almost two days have passed, it's not impossible to track them down using Force perception.

"Let's consider the Flesh-Eating Centipede's Nest as the second one for now. Where are we supposed to find the other three nests required by the mission?"

Shen Zhao looked in the direction from which the monster's roar came from.

Are we supposed to run around the town now, searching for the Mist Aliens and following them back to their lair?

That would be far too inefficient.

Another question is, how do you destroy the nest after you find it?

Judging from the size of the Ironclad Crab's lair, any Mist Alien lair that meets the mission requirements is definitely not small.

The only miniature nuclear bomb has already been used.

Without heavy firepower, relying solely on a lightsaber and twelve adamantium alloy throwing blades would be exhausting.

Shen Zhao has no good solutions to either of these problems for the time being.

Thinking of this, he silently prayed in his heart.

'System God, hurry up and give me some good stuff! Whether I can complete this task depends entirely on you!'

"correct!"

Shen Zhao suddenly remembered something.

The only miniature nuclear bomb loaded on the Fat Man launcher that I checked in with this morning has already been used.

But it's not that it can't be supplemented.

I opened the system space and quickly found a sign-in item.

The airdrop beacon is from the previous survival game, a sign-in reward on day six.

Once activated, you will receive a time-dropped ammunition supply box of your choice.

Most importantly, this thing is not a one-time use item!

Instead, it can be used once in each survival game.

The only uncertainty now is whether the miniature nuclear bombs used in the Fat Man launcher can be resupplyed.

Shen Zhao took out the airdrop beacon but did not use it directly here.

Summoning a nuclear missile is something that should be kept away from the delicate and lovely Sora.

So he got up from the window and quietly walked out the door.

Just as he closed the door, Violet came out from next door, holding ebony and white ivory in her hands.

"Sir, shall we go into battle?"

The blonde girl's ocean-blue eyes seemed to hold a hint of anticipation.

"Violet, you're still awake?" Shen Zhao raised an eyebrow and said, "It's not for a battle, it's something else."

The light in Violet's azure eyes dimmed.

Seeing this, Shen Zhao waved the airdrop beacon in his hand: "Let's wait until tomorrow. I'm going to prepare the weapons now; there should be a battle tomorrow."

The blonde girl nodded: "I will be ready to obey your orders at any time."

Shen Zhao smiled and said, "Then go and get some rest now. Good night."

"Yes, sir. Good night."

Violet raised her hand in a gesture of respect before turning and walking into the room.

Seeing the closed door, Shen Zhao took the airdrop beacon and walked downstairs.

We arrived at the dark living room on the first floor.

He took out several lamps from his space backpack and arranged them to provide lighting.

Then, place the airdrop beacon in the center of the living room and press the start button.

click!

Three steel cables pop out from the columnar main body and embed themselves in the floor to fix it upright.
