Survival in the apocalypse, teammate Xia Shiyu at the start

Time passes little by little.

The commotion outside never subsided, and no one knew what the giant scorpion was doing.

Finally, the Dawnhammer military satellites reached a position where they could attack the area.

Shen Zhao took out the laser pointer and handed it to TX, instructing it to go outside and guide the Dawn Hammer's attack, while also observing and recording the impact.

Without a moment's hesitation, TX Terminator took the pointer, turned around, and left the basement.

Due to communication disruptions caused by the fog, Shen Zhao ordered TX to lock onto the target within three minutes.

After TX left, he waited for three minutes, and then firmly pressed the launch button.

A few seconds later, a sharp, strange sound came from outside the basement, along with the giant scorpion's mournful shriek.

It is clear that the Dawn Hammer hit its target.

Thirty seconds later, the attack ended, but the giant scorpion's activity did not disappear; instead, it became even more intense and violent.

It seems that the giant is injured.

Shen Zhao waited a moment, and when he saw that the Dawn Hammer satellite was fully charged, he immediately pressed the launch button again.

They stopped only when the satellite was completely exhausted and unable to fire for a short period of time.

However, the sounds of the giant scorpion outside still hadn't subsided.

He also did not receive any game notifications about killing the monster.

Shen Zhao felt a slight regret but was not surprised: "This level of Mist Alien is indeed not so easy to kill."

The main problem is insufficient firepower.

If ten or eight Dawnhammer satellites attacked simultaneously, even the most powerful monsters would be blasted to dust.

He put away the control terminal and waited for TX to return.

Then, based on the observed impact of the attack, decide whether to go out and use Exusiai to finish off the enemy.

Fortunately, TX didn't seem to be discovered by the giant scorpion and returned to the basement smoothly after completing the mission.

The image data it observed and recorded was transmitted to the control terminal.

Shen Zhao played the video.

Unfortunately, the orange-white beam of light that descended from the sky was clearly visible striking the giant scorpion's back.

However, due to the shooting angle, the specific effects of the attack cannot be clearly seen from the footage.

The only way to tell from the giant scorpion's reaction is that it must have suffered a severe injury.

Should we go out and finish them off?

Shen Zhao hesitated.

He wasn't afraid of dying, but the problem was that there was only one Gundam Exia.

If that giant scorpion really has aerial attack capabilities and destroys Exia, then he will have suffered a huge loss.

Chapter 88 Kato Megumi's Self-Awareness, Another Hidden Mission!

Shen Zhao had not yet decided whether to risk going out to try and finish off the enemy.

The footsteps of the giant scorpion outside gradually faded into the distance.

It seems that after being severely injured by the attack from the sky, it gave up its activities outside and returned to its lair to recuperate.

He didn't act rashly.

Before figuring out the giant scorpion's attack methods, acting rashly would only make us easy prey.

In any case, the giant scorpion's lair is most likely not far from here.

With such a massive size, the traces it leaves behind are too easy to track. There's absolutely no need to worry about never finding it again after letting it go this time.

"Let's gather more intelligence first. Once the Dawn Hammer is fully charged, we'll launch the real boss battle!"

Shen Zhao changed his plans and was no longer in a hurry to leave the town to meet up with Saeko Busujima.

It would be a huge waste not to kill rare boss monsters and claim the rewards.

He has so many anime goddesses to support, he can't afford not to seize every point that earns him money.

After a while, the commotion outside completely subsided.

The Force no longer sensed any threat.

Shen Zhao said to the two girls beside him, "The monster has left, let's go out."

Kasumigaoka Utaha breathed a sigh of relief: "They're finally gone."

She gripped the man's hand tightly, her face full of relief: "Thank goodness you arrived first, otherwise Hui and I would have been in big trouble."

Shen Zhao teased in a low voice, "So, how are you going to thank me?"

Shi Yu winked at the man, her red lips brushing against his ear as she breathed softly, "How does Mr. Pervert want me to thank you?"

Shen Zhao replied with a smile, "I believe Shi Yu will satisfy me."

Shi Yu gave him a light kiss on the lips: "I haven't decided yet, how about some interest first?"

Kato Megumi silently observed the two's intimacy, her face calm and indifferent.

The three left from the basement.

Shen Zhao told the two girls to be escorted back to the small building by TX to rest, while he went to check the traces left by the giant scorpion.

Shiyu suggested that they go along too.

"If other monsters come after you leave, it will be more dangerous for Hui and me to stay here."

After considering it, Shen Zhao did not refuse.

Shiyu's words also make sense.

Besides, his mission was to conduct reconnaissance rather than to fight, so it wouldn't hurt to bring them along.

So the three of them headed in the direction the giant scorpion had passed.

As soon as I stepped out of the mental hospital, I saw a deep ditch blocking my way.

Shen Zhao asked Shi Yu, "This ditch wasn't here when you came, was it?"

"of course not!"

"That must have been caused by that giant scorpion monster."

They had previously felt a strong tremor very close to them in the basement, which must have been caused by the giant scorpion passing by the mental hospital.

"I'll go down and take a look."

Shen Zhao jumped into the ravine and released his primal force to carefully sense the remaining aura of the giant scorpion.

This will allow us to gain a deeper understanding of just how threatening that giant scorpion monster is.

Kasumigaoka Utaha and Kato Megumi stood patiently waiting on the side.

They didn't have to wait long before Shen Zhao finished her examination and climbed out of the ditch.

"Let's go back."

Return to the room.

Shen Zhao sat in the chair with his legs crossed, gently stroking Shi Yu's dark hair that was leaning against his shoulder, his face thoughtful.

Based on the analysis of the residual aura in the giant scorpion's footprints just now.

He believed that with the Gundam Exia's mobility and his Force prediction ability, even if Cancer had anti-air attack capabilities, it would not be enough to threaten him.

The only possibility is that during Exia's takeoff phase, when her mobility is not yet at its peak, she is unable to dodge the giant scorpion's ranged attacks.

Furthermore, the giant scorpion's attack power was so great that it could destroy Exia in one blow.

This explains the death warning he sensed from the Force when the giant scorpion appeared.

If that's true, then to deal with that giant scorpion, you can't activate Exia only after you've gotten right in front of it.

Instead, you have to fly directly there from a much farther location using the Exia.

As for what the giant scorpion's ranged attack methods will be...

"Tail."

Shen Zhao murmured.

With her head resting on his shoulder, Shiyu asked in confusion, "What?"

Shen Zhao explained, "That giant scorpion's tail must very likely possess some kind of ranged attack capability."

The beautiful girl with long, straight black hair casually uttered an "oh," showing no interest whatsoever.

However, the man's words gave her some inspiration.

'A tail? That seems like a good idea…'

A hint of eagerness flickered in the girl's beautiful, wine-red eyes.

Shen Zhao had no idea what special surprise awaited him.

Having devised his next battle plan, he said to the two girls in the room, "It's almost lunchtime. What would you like to eat?"

Shiyu took his arm and looked up, smiling, "Let's make sukiyaki. I remember you redeemed a few pieces of top-grade Wagyu beef, haven't they all been eaten yet?"

Before the game started, she also redeemed a lot of food.

However, the girl did not want to rely entirely on men for even basic necessities, so she used her own points.

The food they exchanged was naturally far less abundant and diverse than what Shen Zhao had.

Upon hearing Shi Yu's request, Shen Zhao smiled and said, "Of course I'll save some for you."

He patted the girl's hand to signal her to let go, and then took out various cooking utensils and ingredients from his spatial backpack.

Kato Megumi looked at the table full of supplies in front of her, and for the first time, a look of surprise appeared on her usually calm face.

Just for the sake of satisfying their cravings, they are willing to spend a lot of points to exchange for high-end ingredients and special utensils.

She truly realized just how incredibly powerful the boyfriend that Shiyu-senpai always talked about really was.

The three of them sat around a steaming hot pot, enjoying a sumptuous and delicious lunch.

Shi Yu would occasionally pick up a piece of meat with her chopsticks and feed it to Shen Zhao, or open her small mouth to snatch the meat from his chopsticks.

Kato Megumi, who was eating quietly, ended up eating several handfuls of dog food as a side effect.

Eat and drink enough.

Kasumigaoka Utaha pulled Shen Zhao to lie down on the bed.

With Kato Megumi still around, the two of them obviously couldn't actually do anything.

The girl nestled intimately in the man's arms, savoring the feeling of being enveloped by his scent once again.

Shen Zhao said gently, "Would you like to take a nap?"

Shi Yu said in a sweet, coquettish voice, "Then you'll sleep with me."

Shen Zhao smiled and agreed, "Okay, I'll always be with you."

Shi Yu adjusted her position, snuggled comfortably in his arms, and closed her eyes.

Shen Zhao also closed his eyes and entered a state of Force meditation to conserve his energy for the upcoming action.

On the opposite bed, Kato Megumi blinked, feeling like she was the superfluous person in the room.

Time passes slowly.

Almost an hour later, Shi Yu's long, thick eyelashes fluttered a few times, and she slowly opened her beautiful wine-red eyes.

A soft, nasal moan escaped from her rosy lips.

"Hmm~"

The alluring voice stirred something within Shen Zhao.

Shi Yu sensed the man's firmness, tilted her head back, and gave him a seductive smile: "Want to go out for a bit?"
