Survival in the apocalypse, teammate Xia Shiyu at the start

"Alright, I'll go clear out the zombies. You stay in the room and get some rest."

Kasumigaoka Utaha stood still, her gaze following the man's tall figure until it was blocked by the door that opened and closed repeatedly.

Looking down at the serum tucked into her chest, the girl's wine-red eyes revealed a complex and indescribable expression.

Outside.

As he summoned the black phantom, Shen Zhao suppressed all romantic thoughts and entered a state of combat readiness.

Anime goddesses are great, but power is the most important thing.

He won't be unable to distinguish between primary and secondary matters.

"Let's go, Black Ghost. Let's clean this building up and then go hunting outside!"

Retrieving the lightsaber from the system space and handing it to the black ghost, Shen Zhao strode towards the stairwell.

Let's set a small goal first: earn enough points to redeem the enhanced server!

"hold head high!"

The black ghost let out a low growl, seemingly in response.

The tranquility of the hotel building was shattered once again as a person and a ghost entered the corridor.

Time passed and it was evening in the blink of an eye.

Shen Zhao stood at the entrance of a large supermarket and opened the points leaderboard.

-

Survival Points Leaderboard (0125)

Top of the list: Shen Zhao, survival points 950

Second place: Saeko Busujima, survival points 270

Third place: None

……

10th place: None available

-

There are still only two names on the leaderboard.

He ranked first.

Saeko Busujima ranked second.

Shen Zhao noticed that Saeko Busujima's points hadn't increased much compared to the morning, and couldn't help but guess: "It seems she was injured and injected with serum this morning, so she didn't take any more risks."

This made him realize the profound significance of his demi-human bloodline.

If he had gained other abilities, no matter how powerful they were, he wouldn't dare to leave the house for 24 hours after being injured.

At that moment, the black phantom sent a message.

The zombies inside the supermarket have been completely eliminated.

Shen Zhao then closed the leaderboard and walked towards the supermarket entrance.

That concludes today's battle. We'll gather some supplies and then head back to the hotel to rest.

Unbeknownst to him, when he closed the leaderboard, a purple-haired girl elsewhere opened it.

Looking at the top scorer's points, the purple-haired girl's lips curled up slightly: "Shen Jun, you're really amazing."

Chapter 8: The Black Ghost Dies in Battle, and the Beautiful Bodyguard 2B Appears!

Shen Zhao entered the supermarket and began scavenging for supplies, while simultaneously sending out the Black Ghost.

I only need a little over a hundred points to redeem the enhanced outfit. I'll try to complete my small goal even if I have to go back to the hotel later.

After a while, Shen Zhao walked out of the supermarket carrying two large bags of things.

In addition to food and daily necessities, he also packed more than a dozen pairs of stockings of various styles, colors, and deniers.

Kasumigaoka Utaha's sheer black stockings are amazing, but they're no longer usable after being exposed to several storms.

Besides, we should try out different styles.

Upon arriving at the supermarket entrance, Shen Zhao placed the bag on the ground.

While waiting for the Black Ghost, he opened his personal panel to check the progress of his small goal.

Upon seeing his survival points surpass one thousand, he smiled broadly and sent a command to the Black Ghost to return via a special electromagnetic wave.

The smile on his face suddenly froze the next moment.

The connection with the Black Ghost was abruptly severed after it responded to the command!

Shen Zhao's expression turned serious.

He could sense that the black phantom he had summoned had been destroyed.

"Roar--"

A furious roar came from the direction where the black phantom had been.

Shen Zhao turned his head and looked over, his expression shifting: "Is it some kind of powerful special zombie?"

Unfortunately, he couldn't share vision with the black phantom and had no way of knowing what kind of monster it was.

After a moment of contemplation, Shen Zhao picked up the bag and walked towards the hotel.

Although you may not be afraid of death, there's no need to rush off to your death just to satisfy a moment of curiosity.

It's not too late to go after the Black Phantom reappears tomorrow, collect the sign-in reward, and then settle scores.

His only regret was that he had lost his lightsaber there.

Fortunately, zombies are unlikely to be interested in an inanimate object, so it should be fine to look for it again tomorrow.

We got back to the hotel safely.

Shen Zhao first placed the two bags of supplies on the floor where he lived, and then went straight to the top floor.

I opened the Survival Shop trading terminal and directly redeemed the Enhanced Suit.

The points balance instantly dropped from four digits to two digits.

Immediately afterwards, a slit opened at the bottom of the trading terminal, and a silver-white briefcase popped out.

His number was engraved on the lid of the box: 0125-**.

Shen Zhao opened the box, inside which was a black latex suit neatly folded.

The destruction of the Black Phantom made him lose interest in trying it on. He glanced at it, closed the lid, picked up the suitcase, and went downstairs.

Back in his room, seeing the beautiful girl with long, straight black hair who came to greet him, Shen Zhao's frustration finally dissipated considerably.

He lifted the bag in his hand and said with a smile, "I brought you a gift, guess what it is."

Seeing the smile on his face, Kasumigaoka Utaha immediately guessed that the so-called "gift" was definitely not something legitimate.

She rolled her eyes and ignored him, simply reaching out to help him take the things without saying a word.

Shen Zhao was not offended.

He could sense the change in the other person's attitude; it was no longer complete resistance.

Clearly, the serum sent earlier had worked.

After putting everything away, Shen Zhao pulled a gas stove out of the bag and said, "Let's cook some hot dishes tonight."

Upon hearing this, Kasumigaoka Utaha's eyes lit up.

She had only eaten cookies and snacks for three meals in a row, and now she desperately wanted a hot meal.

Saliva production started to increase rapidly.

Soon after, as she ate the steaming hot noodles, Shiyu couldn't help but feel a sense of happiness.

Even though it's just simple instant noodles with side dishes like ham sausage and luncheon meat.

However, in this zombie-infested city without water and electricity, this was already considered a rare feast.

Eat and drink enough.

Kasumigaoka Utaha took the initiative to get up and clear the dishes, then packed up the trash and put it outside the door.

After she finished her work, Shen Zhao said, "It's getting late, let's rest."

The girl gently bit her lip, then turned and walked towards the bathroom: "I'm going to wash up."

That night, the wind and waves were calm.

Shen Zhao gave Kasumigaoka Utaha a day off.

Firstly, he estimated that the other party's injuries had not fully recovered.

Secondly, he sensed that the atmosphere between the two had eased, which was a perfect opportunity to continue his efforts to win their favor.

Having already obtained the body of this anime goddess, he was eager to win her heart as well.

Perhaps because he hadn't expended any energy, Shen Zhao woke up early the next day.

'System, sign in!'

"Ding! Daily check-in successful. Reward received: [YoRHa II Type B Intelligent Robot]. Please claim your reward."

"Huh? 2B?"

Shen Zhao was overjoyed.

Yorhavn 2B, abbreviated as 2B.

A core character in NieR: Automata, and a top goddess in the 3D genre!

Not only is she beautiful and sexy, but she also possesses exceptional fighting prowess.

She's practically the perfect female companion for surviving the apocalypse.

Yesterday we lost Black Phantom, but today we've gained a beautiful and capable helper.

Shen Zhao felt like he had hit the jackpot.

If this happens every time, he could summon the Black Ghost and commit suicide every eight hours!

Chapter Nine: A Realistic Beautiful Girl Robot!

After receiving his sign-in reward, Shen Zhao didn't do his morning exercise and got up directly.

He has a bit of OCD; he still has a lingering unease about getting revenge and retrieving the lightsaber.

Even anime goddesses aren't as appealing anymore.

Let's finish the important business first, and then come back to do other things.

After washing up and having breakfast.

Shen Zhao pulled a silver-white briefcase from under the bed, opened the lid, and took out the enhanced suit.

This enhanced suit is a one-piece design with only one opening at the back, extending from the neck to the waist.

There are explanatory texts on the inside of the box lid.

The enhanced suit uses force feedback control technology, which requires direct contact with the wearer's skin to sense changes in the body's electrical signals and precisely amplify force.

To avoid situations where you put on the clothes and want to pick up a water cup to drink, but end up crushing the cup into pieces.

Shen Zhao stripped off all his clothes except for his underwear, and first put his legs into the two pant legs.

After lifting it up, put both arms in one at a time.

Finally, fasten the row of snap buttons along the spine at the back.

The five buttons are essentially miniature high-energy batteries. When fastened, they light up with a blue light, indicating that they are starting to provide energy to the enhanced suit.
