Survival in the apocalypse, teammate Xia Shiyu at the start

Shen Zhao resisted the temptation and kissed the girl's luscious red lips: "Let me finish my business first."

He then released Shiyu's graceful body, got up from the bed, and announced, "Shiyu, Ms. Kato, I need to go out for a while."

"You stay here. If there is an emergency, go to the basement to take shelter, or have TX escort you away."

Kasumigaoka Utaha immediately guessed what he was going to do: "Shen-kun, do you want to go find that giant scorpion?"

Shen Zhao didn't hide anything and nodded, saying, "That's right, I'm going to try and see if I can take it down!"

Shi Yu knew she couldn't change this man's mind, so she bit her lip, stood up, and hugged his waist tightly.

"Go ahead, I'll wait for you here. You must come back! Otherwise, I'll come looking for you."

Shen Zhao put his arm around the girl's waist and kissed her fragrant hair: "Don't worry, even if I can't kill that monster, I won't have any problem protecting myself."

He paused, then emphasized with a serious expression, "If I don't come back, don't even think about looking for me outside. Hide yourself and wait until the game is over before going straight back to your space. We'll meet there."

Shi Yu obediently replied, "I understand."

She tiptoed and brought her red lips close to his ear, saying seductively, "I'll listen to you. But if you can get back here before tonight, there'll be a surprise."

Shen Zhao pinched her firm, beautiful breasts: "Then you'd better get ready to wait for me to come back."

After saying that, he let go of her hand and nodded to Kato Megumi, who was standing silently to the side.

The quiet young woman bowed slightly and said, "Mr. Shen Zhao, I wish you all the best."

"Thank you, please be careful."

After saying goodbye to the two beautiful girls, Shen Zhao left the mental hospital directly.

Without taking out Exusiai, he used only his legs to follow the obvious footprints left by the giant scorpion.

He wanted to observe the giant scorpion up close first, and the Exusiai would remain hidden until the final battle.

in the room.

Kato Megumi looked at Utaha-senpai, who was standing in the corridor looking in the direction the man had left, and said slowly, "Senpai, I'll move to the next room."

"Huh? Why?"

Utaha Kasumigaoka was still immersed in her reluctance and worry for the man, and subconsciously turned around to ask.

Kato Megumi said calmly, "If I stay with you, wouldn't it disturb your time with Mr. Shen Zhao?"

Shi Yu had already realized what was happening, and her pretty face blushed.

After thinking for a moment, he replied, "Let's wait and see. If Shen Jun hasn't come back by tonight, you don't need to move."

Kato Megumi offered another solution: "Then I'll tidy up the room next door first, so it will be more convenient when we need to use it."

"I'll tidy it up with you."

As Shiyu spoke, a new idea popped into her head.

"Kato-senpai, whether Shen Jun comes back or not, you don't need to move."

Kato Megumi looked at her, puzzled.

Shi Yu said with a smile, "Once the room next door is cleaned up, Shen Jun and I can stay there."

Kato Megumi had no objection: "Okay, senpai."

On the other side, Shen Zhao sped along for nearly half an hour and arrived at an abandoned mine.

Thick fog also filled the entire mine, but he could sense that the giant scorpion was lurking at the bottom of the mine.

Shen Zhao used his Force to completely isolate his own aura, and then rushed down the spiral path on the rock wall at the edge of the mine.

As we approached the bottom of the pit, we finally saw the blurry, enormous figure of the giant scorpion through the mist.

He didn't approach any further, and took out a honeycomb-shaped device the size of a home stereo from his spatial backpack.

Once activated, more than a dozen palm-sized micro-drones popped up and flew toward the giant scorpion.

This is one of the pieces of equipment he redeemed from the intermediate shop before the game started.

The Hive, a miniature unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, costs 1000 points.

Upon arriving in the Misty World, most of its functions were disabled due to signal interference.

Shen Zhao is now using them as camera drones.

After setting the flight path in advance, let it fly over to take close-up photos of the wound on the giant scorpion's back caused by the Dawn Hammer attack.

This was to allow him to assess the effectiveness of the space-based satellite artillery.

The advanced drones from the Survival Mall are extremely small, and their noise level of 2.6 during flight is barely perceptible.

They successfully approached the giant scorpion without attracting its attention.

However, due to fog interference, the footage captured by the drone could not be transmitted back in real time.

Shen Zhao had no choice but to patiently wait for them to return.

Just then, a game notification sound suddenly rang in Shen Zhao's ears.

"Discovered the nest of the Mist Alien [Plasma War Scorpion], exploration progress increased significantly."

"Player detected to possess World Key, triggering hidden quest: World Defender".

"Accept or not?"

"You can view the details after accepting the task."

Another hidden mission!

Although there were less than 24 hours left in this survival game, Shen Zhao still chose to accept it without hesitation.

There's no penalty for failure, so what's there to be afraid of?

Just like last time, after he accepted this hidden quest, the quest details were displayed on his personal panel.

Hidden Quest: World Defender.

"Mission objective: Destroy five nests of King-class Mist Aliens (Current progress: 0/5)."

"Quest Reward: Partial Supreme Authority (Misty Town Dungeon)."

Judging from the triggering conditions and task requirements, this hidden task seems to be a sequel to the previous hidden task.

The rewards for this mission, just like the previous World Key, left Shen Zhao completely baffled.

"What is supreme access used for?"

I can understand each word individually, and I can also understand them when they are put together.

But its specific function is unclear to most people.

Chapter 89 Killing the Giant Scorpion, Time to Call Home and Enjoy!

Shen Zhao didn't dwell on what the reward of the hidden quest [World Defender] actually did.

With less than a day left, it's practically impossible to complete this task.

Knowing it won't help.

Let's figure out how to get the rewards we can first.

Specifically, it means taking down that giant scorpion below!

He waited there for a while, and the swarm of unmanned reconnaissance aircraft he had sent out flew back.

Shen Zhao copied the images captured by the drone to his smart terminal and played them.

After reading it, he had a better understanding of the effectiveness of the Dawn Hammer.

In short, the space-based particle cannon mounted on the Dawnhammer military satellite pierced the carapace of the giant scorpion monster known as the "Plasma War Scorpion".

However, it failed to completely penetrate the giant scorpion's body.

This means that unless multiple Dawnhammer satellites participate in the attack, the Plasma War Scorpion cannot be killed by this weapon alone.

What made things even more difficult for Shen Zhao was that the drone discovered a huge cave at the bottom of the pit.

I don't know if it was left behind by miners who used to dig for ore, or if the giant scorpion dug it out itself.

These are not the key points; the key point is that the cave was large enough to accommodate a giant scorpion.

That means he only has one more chance to use the Dawn Hammer attack.

If the Plasma Scorpion is not killed, it will most likely hide in a cave, rendering the Dawn Hammer ineffective.

In fact, Shen Zhao found it rather strange that this giant scorpion was still in the open mine after being severely injured by the Dawn Hammer.

But whatever the reason, if the giant scorpion isn't mentally challenged, it will definitely hide immediately if given the chance to do it again.

This prevented him from repeatedly attacking with the Dawn Hammer to wear down his opponent.

This is a difficult situation.

Shen Zhao watched the footage taken by the drone from different angles and distances over and over again, searching for a sure-fire opportunity.

He watched it countless times before drawing his conclusion.

There is only one chance: to bombard the wound on the monster's back with another round of attacks.

This requires extremely precise target guidance for the Dawn Hammer.

Given the interference of the fog with the signal, this guidance must be conducted at a location very close to the giant scorpion.

Only in this way can the accuracy of the guidance be ensured.

Shen Zhao devised a preliminary plan: "I'll have to take charge myself!"

He didn't linger, but returned to the top of the mine along the same route and quickly moved away from the mine.

Only after moving far enough away that they felt they wouldn't attract the attention of the plasma war scorpion.

Shen Zhao stopped and took out the Exia Gundam from the system space.

"EXIA, I'm counting on you for the rest of the time."

He patted Exusiai's cold, steel feet and then summoned Black Phantom.

A massive amount of black particles coalesced into a tall humanoid figure wrapped in bandages.

"And you, Black Ghost."

Shen Zhao handed the laser pointer to Black Ghost.

"I'll put you on the giant scorpion's back in a moment, and you'll guide the Dawn Hammer's attack."

The black ghost growled to indicate that it understood.

"Then let's go!"

Shen Zhao took the rope ladder into the Exia cockpit.

Black Phantom didn't follow in. Instead, it stood on Exia's shoulder and reached out to grab the V-shaped antenna on the front of the machine to stabilize itself.

hum-

Countless green light particles were released from the GN Drive nozzles behind Exusiai, and the steel giant, weighing tens of tons, slowly floated up with its feet off the ground.

In the cockpit, Shen Zhao pushed the control stick hard: "EXIA, launch!"

Whoosh!

A blue and white steel giant soared into the sky.

Inside a mental hospital on the outskirts of a small town, a few kilometers away.

Kasumigaoka Utaha and Kato Megumi tidied up the room next door and sat side by side on the newly made bed to rest.

"I wonder how things are going with Shen Jun, whether the operation is going smoothly."

The beautiful girl with long, straight black hair twirled a strand of her hair with her fingers, her face showing worry.

The short-haired girl next to her, with a quiet and aloof demeanor, tilted her head cutely and said, "Senior sister always says that Mr. Shen Zhao is very capable, so I think there shouldn't be any problem."

"And in any case, there's nothing we can do to help Mr. Shen Zhao. So just put aside your worries and wait patiently."

“That makes sense,” Shiyu said with a helpless smile. “However, only bystanders who are detached from the situation can have that kind of mentality. I simply can’t do it.”

Kato Megumi nodded in agreement: "Indeed, senior is very concerned about Mr. Shen Zhao."
