"Check the corpse first."
The corpse of a second order zombie. This should be the first case in the world, right?
"Second order variant crystal, damn, there really is one."
Even Xiao Jun couldn't help but cry out when he saw the light green variant crystal in Wan Qianya's hand.
The probability of producing a second level variant crystal is probably one in twenty. To be able to find one just by touching around, Wan Qianya's hands are clearly hacking.
Those first-order zombies probably didn't have any variant crystals because they had just been infected.
But that's unimportant now. A second order variant crystal is worth ten first order ones.
Next is the airdrop box. The afternoon is almost over, this is probably the only one for today.
"Spatial ring?"
The first item is a spatial equipment? What kind of box is this, Xiao Jun is starting to look forward to it.
Xiao Jun already has a ring and a jade pendant, so he let Wan Qianya bind this ring herself so that it would be more convenient to store some things with her in the future.
"This thing is a bit big."
Wan Qianya pulled out the second item with both hands.
"High-tech bathtub, after placing it can accommodate two people bathing at the same time."
"The bathtub does not need to be filled with water manually. It will actively absorb moisture from the air to store water. It can be filled once every 24 hours, and each filling can be used twice."
Seeing this, Xiao Jun didn't feel anything special, but Wan Qianya almost jumped up.
For a woman, especially a young and beautiful woman like Wan Qianya, not being able to take a bath is simply a torture.
Now with this bathtub, wouldn't she be able to soak in a bath every day?
"You seem very excited. Keep it and use it when we get back."
Wan Qianya nodded her head like a little chick pecking rice. She continued to reach into the box at Xiao Jun's urging.
Ordinary mutation compound.
Seeing this, Xiao Jun's eyes lit up.
It's definitely a top-tier airdrop box, no doubt about it.
"After taking the ordinary mutation compound, genes can be altered to greatly enhance basic physical fitness."
"Note: Advanced compounds will override the effects of lower-level compounds."
So there are restrictions on this stuff. Xiao Jun thought he could use it again. Even if it was just an ordinary one that only improves by one fold, it could still allow him to reach another level.
It looks like this loophole he thought of has already been fixed early on.
"You take it."
Wan Qianya hesitated a little. Such a good thing, is it a bit wasteful to give to herself?
"I've taken one before so this has no effect on me anymore."
After hearing Xiao Jun's explanation, Wan Qianya happily took the mutation compound.
"It should have improved by one fold, right?"
Two minutes later, Wan Qianya opened her eyes and said uncertainly.
About one fold.
Xiao Jun was assured. Ordinary, advanced, he wondered if there were even better ones. This thing that enhances basic physical fitness is simply like a hack that ensures you are always invincible at the same level.
Once Wan Qianya was done, she continued rummaging through the box. After three good items in a row, it gave five water bottles in succession.
"Isn't this too perfunctory without any changes."
Wan Qianya's heart was hurt and she almost didn't want to continue. But under Xiao Jun's persuasion, she reached out again.
The ninth item.
"Pfft!"
Even Xiao Jun couldn't hold back. It was another water bottle. Was it trying to tell her that women are made of water?
"The last one. Hurry up and finish, it'll be dark soon."
Wan Qianya reluctantly reached out one final time.
High-tech tent.
"An ordinary tent that soldiers love to use during field operations. 200 square meters of space inside."
Damn, nice stuff!
Three months after the apocalypse began, mankind would experience another disaster, a global earthquake.
At that time, no matter how tall the buildings were, they would all collapse completely and humans would have no place to live.
It was also after that earthquake that most of the zombies in the city were crushed to death. Under the leadership of several teams, the survivors carried out a major cleansing of the remaining zombies in the city and built Future City in the ruins.
But afraid of another earthquake, buildings in the city were not allowed to exceed two floors. Houses became a symbol of status. The vast majority of lower class humans could only occupy an extremely small space in a designated area, just enough to fit a small bed inside.
Xiao Jun had lived in such a place in his previous life.
"Pack everything up, get ready to head back."
Now was not the time for studying. He could take a closer look after getting back at night.
On the way back, Xiao Jun was even more careful, afraid of encountering a second order zombie again.
Perhaps it was good luck or perhaps second order zombies really were extremely rare, but the two returned safely to the hotel before nightfall.
On the road, they encountered two other groups of people. Xiao Jun discovered that after killing zombies, they would also search the zombie corpses, apparently also aware of the secret of the variant crystals.
If he had known earlier that in his previous life, this secret wasn't discovered by humans until five days later before spreading, and then caused a frenzy of zombie hunting.
And now, only three days had passed and two groups of people already knew the secret, so it could be considered semi-public knowledge.
All of this revealed some strangeness, and it wasn't just this. There was also the premature appearance of second order zombies.
All of this was indicating that the timeline of this world had been brought forward, very likely due to his own rebirth.
Back at the hotel, Wan Qianya had already happily gone to set up the high-tech bathtub.
Soon, she excitedly ran over to signal Xiao Jun that everything was ready.
The bathtub was meant for two people, so naturally two people had to bathe.
Xiao Jun also set aside his worries. What was there to fear? He would face anything that came his way. As long as he kept getting stronger, disaster would always be one step behind him.
Killing zombies every day, killing quite a few people yesterday too, being dirty all the time, being able to soak in a nice hot bath was a great enjoyment too.
They soaked in the bath for over an hour. In the meantime, Xiao Jun very seriously helped Wan Qianya inspect her breasts and found no signs of sagging...
With both their bodies strengthened, over an hour didn't seem too difficult anymore. If it wasn't that one filling could only allow two baths, they probably could have stayed for a few more hours.
The high-tech lighting lamp had been placed in the room so they no longer needed to rely on the faint candlelight to grope around in the dark.
The two lay in bed, Wan Qianya lazily snuggling in Xiao Jun's arms while engrossed in reading her comic book.
Xiao Jun lit a cigarette. The smell made Wan Qianya twitch her nose slightly.
Tomorrow, airdrop boxes would no longer be Xiao Jun's priority. He needed to become stronger.
Only by quickly reaching second order could he avoid dangerous situations like today.
He currently had 37 first order variant crystals and 1 second order variant crystal. If he focused on killing zombies, he should be able to gather enough to upgrade tomorrow.
Also, it was best not to use that second order variant crystal yet. When he reached third order, he wouldn't be able to rely on first order variant crystals to improve anymore, so every extra one counted.

close your eyes and open them again, only to find yourself transmigrated into the role of a villainous male supporting character. Readers familiar with urban wish-fulfillment novels know that it is only through the relentless antics of the villainous male supporting character that the plot between the male and female leads can progress. As the villainous male supporting character, Long Aotian not only has to bully the female lead, harass the second female lead, and flirt with the third female lead, but he also has to go all out to antagonize the male lead. In the end, when his body is discovered, he is still clutching half a moldy fried dough stick in his hand. Fully aware of the plot, Long Aotian is determined to change his fate, starting with the female lead! In the beginning, the female lead lacks confidence: "Big brother, I hope I didn't scare you?" In the middle, the female lead treads carefully: "Brother Long, please don't hit me, okay?" Later on, the female lead becomes coquettishly clingy: "Aotian, it's time to pay the 'public grain' tonight." Long Aotian's legs go weak, and he feels like crying: "I taught you to be thick-skinned, not shameless!"
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
