Survival in the apocalypse, teammate Xia Shiyu at the start

Ran Mouri clapped her hands: "Finally, we can eat real food again. Thank you, Mr. Shen Zhao."

Like most other players, she and her mother were reluctant to waste their precious points on exchanging for daily necessities.

Once you enter the survival game, you survive by eating energy bars.

The girl said with envy, "You actually brought in so many high-quality fresh ingredients, that's amazing!"

Shen Zhao said calmly, "It's already difficult enough to survive in a survival game, so of course we can't skimp on our living conditions."

“That’s because Mr. Shen Zhao is very powerful and can easily obtain points.” Ran Mouri sighed. “My mother and I only get enough survival points in each game to exchange for the necessary equipment and supplies.”

The bulk of it is the high-energy battery in the enhanced suit!

One battery costs 100 points, while a battery can only last for ten minutes under high-intensity combat.

Even if the enhanced suit is kept to a minimum power consumption level, it still consumes one battery per day.

A ten-day survival game will typically use up ten batteries, which is equivalent to a thousand points.

If you can't earn extra points through side quests in the game, the rewards from the main quests alone won't be enough to survive for ten days.

Shen Zhao, who activated the sign-in system on the very day he entered the game, naturally couldn't understand such a predicament.

D.Va, who had survived two games alone, looked rather melancholy. (1.9)

She glanced at Shen Zhao, thinking, 'With this guy around, I shouldn't have to face that kind of trouble anymore.'

Although this man enjoyed playing with her in various ways, he was also extremely generous to her.

She was given such powerful equipment as the Virtue Gundam without any prompting.

Last night, after she gained over 10,000 points using the Angel of Destiny, she wasn't asked to hand over those points.

'Following him isn't a bad choice, is it?' D.Va wrinkled her nose. 'Next time, I'll play along with him even if it's a little too much.'

She simply couldn't understand what was so fun about a cat's tail.

Shen Zhao was completely unaware of D.Va's inner thoughts.

He smiled at Ran Mouri and said, "Ran, you and Ms. Eri Kisaki can eat with us from now on. We'll pay you with cooking. Your cooking is really delicious."

"Is this alright? Won't it be too much trouble for you?"

Ran Mouri looked at her mother as she spoke.

Eri noticed the man's meaningful look and could only agree, "Then I'll have to trouble Mr. Shen Zhao."

I've already owed them two life-saving favors, so eating a few more meals from them wouldn't be a big deal.

Moreover, this is not just a simple meal together; it also signifies that the daughter has received the other party's protection.

Even if she had to pay some extra "cost" for this, she accepted it.

In any case, she had already lost her innocence when she agreed to accompany that man to "water the flowers".

One time versus four times or more is merely a difference in quantity, not in quality.

Chapter 105 Coordinated Training, Eri Kisaki's Night of Blossoming Flowers!

After breakfast, Shen Zhao left behind the Mark 7 suit controlled by the Red Queen to protect the women.

He only took D.Va with him when he went out.

The two boarded Exia and Virtue respectively, piloting two Gundams that took off from in front of the villa and flew into the city ruins.

Considering that this beast riot might be related to an extraterrestrial meteorite, they did not approach the city center, but only casually circled around to check the situation in the ruins.

Although it was already daytime, there were still a large number of green-blooded beasts active outside, a stark contrast to the first few days.

This reminded Shen Zhao of the situation in the novice trial when the final boss, the Corpse King, was about to awaken.

"Could it be that a sleeping Green Blood Beast King is awakening inside a meteorite from outer space?"

Without any game hints, the only way to find out the answer to this question is to go and see the meteorite in the sky yourself.

But now is not the right time to do this.

A brief reconnaissance mission was completed, confirming that the Greenblood Beasts showed no signs of approaching the cliffside villa.

Shen Zhao opened the communicator and said to D.Va, "Continue with live-fire training today. Just being a stationary turret isn't enough; you need to learn to cooperate with me."

"When I am carrying out a surprise decapitation strike on a key target, timely fire suppression will clear the way for me."

"You only have one day to practice this technique."

D.Va asked somewhat nervously, "Are we going to complete the hidden quest tomorrow? Isn't that too hasty?"

Shen Zhao said calmly, "No, there are more important skills to learn tomorrow. We'll start working on your hidden mission the day after tomorrow."

Setting aside three days for this hidden quest should be considered quite ample time.

"I see."

D.Va didn't ask what she would be learning tomorrow; she obediently followed the instructions.

"Let's start now."

Shen Zhao pushed the control stick, and Exusiai swooped down towards a group of green-blooded beasts gathered on the ground.

"Leave the middle one to me. Take care of the rest of the enemies before I land."

D.Va exclaimed in shock: "It's impossible to do that in such a short time! And you've blocked my shots from 24 angles!"

"Find a way yourself. If you can't do it now, practice slowly until you can!"

With those words, D.Va's grueling combat training began.

Shen Zhao would select one of the Green Blood Beasts as his "decapitation" target each time, allowing D.Va to deal with the other Green Blood Beasts but not to steal his prey.

During the raid, they deliberately flew along irregular routes, occasionally flying into D.Va's firing trajectory.

This made the girl constantly anxious and on edge every time she fired a gun.

They were afraid that one shot would kill the man.

And naturally, no matter how carefully D.Va tried to avoid accidentally injuring someone, it was still unavoidable due to Shen Zhao's deliberate "self-destruction".

During one of their teamworks, when D.Va pressed the fire button, her worst fears came true.

The GN rocket launcher fired a thick beam of light toward the ground, but a blue and white figure appeared in front of the muzzle at that moment.

They were immediately engulfed by a dazzling beam of light that arrived suddenly.

"No!"

The girl's pretty face turned deathly pale, and she gasped in shock as she sat in the cockpit.

The next moment, the beam of light dissipated, and the blue-white steel giant reappeared on the screen unharmed.

D.Va was almost overjoyed and cried. She hurriedly turned on her communicator: "Shen Zhao, are you alright?"

"Of course it's alright. With your mediocre skills, you can't hurt me."

A man's slow, deliberate voice came from inside.

"Also, one serious mistake will be dealt with after training ends."

All of D.Va's excitement vanished instantly, and she gritted her teeth in resentment: "I shouldn't have missed that shot!"

Little did she know that it wasn't that she had missed, but rather that Shen Zhao had dodged her shelling.

Shen Zhao dared to engage in this kind of "trust shooting" cooperative training not because he was pinning his hopes on D.Va's performance.

Instead, they relied on the Force's early warning system and Exusiai's superior mobility, confident that they could dodge in time.

Even if he made a mistake and failed to dodge, he still had the death-rebuilding ability of his demi-human bloodline to back him up.

Without this confidence, he wouldn't have started with such extremely difficult training.

The entire day was spent in training.

As evening fell, the two Gundams returned to the cliffside villa, leaving two faint green trails of light in the air.

D.Va watched as the gap between himself and the top spot on the leaderboard narrowed, and chuckled contentedly.

The physical and mental fatigue from a full day of high-intensity training vanished without a trace.

"I'm about to be the MVP of this game!"

"Want to be number one? You'll have to work even harder."

The man's voice suddenly rang out, startling her. She then realized that she hadn't turned off her communicator.

The other person heard everything she said to herself.

D.Va tentatively said, "Of course I'll give it my all! But if I surpass you, you're not going to cheat, are you?"

“As long as you have the ability,” Shen Zhao said. “Also, let me correct you on one point: the Virtue Gundam was originally my property.”

"Not letting you use it isn't considered cheating, it's normal behavior, understand?"

D.Va panicked: "You're just saying that, you won't actually do it, right?"

"That depends on your efforts," Shen Zhao said meaningfully. "Do you know how to make those efforts?"

D.Va pouted: "Okay!"

It's just a cat tail, cat ears, and a cat bell; she can wear it.

The girl touched the red cat whiskers painted on her face and muttered softly, "This is just my costume, not a real cat!"

Two steel giants landed on the open ground in front of the villa.

The three women who remained in the villa—Kato Megumi, Kisaki Eri, and Mouri Ran—came out to greet them.

Kato Megumi was the first to greet him: "Shen-kun, welcome back. You must be tired today. And D.Va-neechan too."

Eri Kisaki and Ran Mouri, mother and daughter, also bowed in greeting.

Shen Zhao hugged Kato Megumi and kissed her, then nodded to the mother and daughter.

"Let's go in."

Upon entering the villa's living room, D.Va exclaimed "Wow!"

The once dirty and dilapidated living room has now been completely transformed.

All the trash and debris were removed.

The floor, which had been covered in a thick layer of dust, was mopped until it was spotless and gleaming. The sofa, coffee table, floor lamp, and other furniture were arranged neatly, creating a simple yet inviting atmosphere.

The large floor-to-ceiling windows facing the sea were also polished to a shine, offering a clear view of the distant seascape.

"Hui, did you do all this? It's amazing! The house has completely changed, it's like magic!"

Kato Megumi said, "It was just a small chore, but Aunt Eri and Ran-neechan helped a lot."

Eri Kisaki said calmly, "We can only help in small ways within our capabilities."

Ran Mouri playfully revealed, "Actually, it was mainly me and Megumi who did it; Mom didn't help at all."

The aloof and serious mature woman showed a hint of embarrassment and glared at her daughter.

D.Va chuckled: "Actually, I'm completely bad at housework too. You guys are amazing!"

Ran Mouri looked at her with admiration, then at Shen Zhao: "Household chores are nothing. What's truly amazing is Mr. Shen Zhao and Ms. D.Va piloting their mechs to fight monsters!"

Shen Zhao immediately smiled and invited, "If Xiao Lan is interested, I can teach you how to pilot a Gundam."

Eri Kisaki frowned slightly, her eyes fixed sharply on him.

Shen Zhao ignored him.

Ran Mouri was initially intrigued: "Can I?"

Then he shook his head and said, "I'd better not trouble Mr. Shen Zhao any further."

"It's not like I'm causing you any trouble," Shen Zhao said seriously. "If you have the talent to pilot mechs, you might be able to help me a lot in the future."

He wasn't just trying to get on Ran Mouri's good side with those words.

The system has already given us two Gundams, so it's not impossible for them to give us a third or even a fourth.

Ran Mouri is a karate expert and has mastered many other sports skills.

They also possess exceptional reaction speed, action speed, and judgment.
