"There are people planning to establish a survivor settlement in City A."
"I also received it through the radio. Someone was broadcasting the message on a public frequency."
Hearing Lin Hao say this, Ning Yu's heart stirred.
"They said in the broadcast that they would gather at the Yida Commercial Center in the outskirts of City A, organize defenses, collect supplies, and wait for rescue together."
"I've been to that place before. The upper levels are residential apartments, and below is a large shopping mall. It basically has enough supplies and living space."
"There are also water tanks and generators there. After the city's power and water systems collapse, these will be very important."
"If you don't have a suitable place to go for now, maybe you could go there."
"Though with your skills, you're free to choose wherever you want to go."
Lin Hao looked envious. The Ning Yu before him possessed terrifying strength that completely belied her appearance.
If only he were that strong, he wouldn't be so helpless now.
He showed a bitter expression:
"I want to go too, but I can't."
"The people there would never accept Little Green."
"And I don't have the confidence to take her across half the city to get there. It's hard enough just for me alone."
"So I can only stay here with her."
Ning Yu showed an understanding look and said quietly:
"The supplies around here will run out sooner or later, and the water and electricity will probably be cut off soon."
"You won't last long. You'll die."
The sun was about to set, casting an orange-red glow into the living room, shining on Lin Hao's face.
Hearing Ning Yu's words, he just nodded lightly:
"I know. But Little Green is sick, I have to take care of her. I can't abandon her."
Hearing this, Ning Yu didn't say anything more.
She stood up to say goodbye and leave.
Lin Hao didn't see her out. He looked at the bedroom door that had been closed again, bathed in the blood-red sunset.
This world was sick, his wife was sick, and he was sick too.
......
Ning Yu, who had just walked out of Lin Hao's home, immediately received a notification that her mission was complete.
[Ding! Mission: A Disease Called Love has been completed!]
[Rewards issued: Mental Power +1, Charm +1]
[Hidden rewards issued: Free Attribute Point *1, Points *1000, Crimson War Blade upgrade conditions unlocked]
Ning Yu was speechless.
Well, random attribute points were indeed random. She didn't even get 1 point of physical strength.
However, mental power and charm weren't useless either.
For instance, this current mission was opened precisely because of her charm value.
As for the free attribute point in the hidden rewards, Ning Yu naturally added it to her physical strength without hesitation.
This body still needed to become stronger.
Then she called up her attribute panel:
[Host: Ning Yu (♀)]
[Height: 150cm]
[Physical Strength: 7]
[Mental Power: 4]
[Charm: 9]
[Items: Titanium alloy crossbow (Bolts *3), Low-grade T-virus immunity capsule (3 hours) *1, Crimson War Blade (Low-level)]
[Skills: None]
[Points: 1120]
The word "Enchanted" after the Crimson War Blade in her item list had changed to "Low-level".
This indicated that the upgrade conditions had been unlocked.
This blade was unexpectedly powerful, not only incredibly sharp but also with excellent enchantments of +1 physical strength and +1 mental power.
More importantly, it could be further upgraded, making those points well spent.
Ning Yu immediately opened the detailed information of the Crimson War Blade:
[Crimson War Blade: Low-level]
[Experience: 5/50]
[Enchanted (Battle Will): Gives the user +1 physical strength and +1 mental power when equipped.]
[Unique Passive: Blood's Ancient Wish. After causing any damage, the user can absorb the blood of the injured to strengthen themselves. Note: This strengthening state will temporarily affect the user's sanity.]
[Upgrade Conditions: Gain experience by triggering Blood's Ancient Wish.]
[Description: An invincible famous blade, crafted by a master artisan. Legend has it that the artisan ultimately perished by this blade.]
Indeed, after unlocking the upgrade conditions, more detailed information appeared.
The frenzy and agitation Ning Yu felt when killing Brother Zhang earlier, along with the constant low whispers craving for blood in her ears, were caused by this passive ability, Blood's Ancient Wish.
Moreover, the note at the end truly made one cautious.
Although constantly strengthening oneself by absorbing blood sounded very powerful,
it would also temporarily affect one's sanity, to an unknown extent.
Especially coupled with the newly added line in the description, "Legend has it that the artisan ultimately perished by this blade."
It really made one think deeply.
She needed to find an opportunity to test this blade and determine the critical point for sustained blood absorption in combat.
Lost in thought, Ning Yu left Lin Hao's neighborhood.
Following the path she came, carrying a backpack full of groceries, she headed back home.
The sun was about to completely sink below the horizon.
She wondered if Shen Yiyue had trained properly while she was away.
......
Shen Yiyue, drenched in sweat, was resting in the small backyard of the supermarket.
Fanning herself with a magazine in her hand, she had clearly been training for a long time and was too hot.
Her well-developed chest was about to burst out of her black tight-fitting workout clothes. She slightly opened the neckline to cool off.
Ning Yu hadn't come back this afternoon, so she repeated the morning's training plan as instructed.
Now she was exhausted, and her stomach was growling.
Seeing the twilight falling and Ning Yu still not back, she couldn't help but worry.
Although she knew Ning Yu was very skilled, what if something unexpected happened?
She didn't know if something had really gone wrong, and whether she should go out to look for her.
Just as she was feeling anxious and imagining all sorts of scenarios,
A hiking backpack full of things suddenly dropped in front of her eyes.
It made a "thud" sound on the ground, that was a backpack full of groceries.
Then the silver-haired little loli nimbly landed on the ground and said sweetly:
"Sister Yue, I'm back~"
"Why are you back so late? I've been practicing all day!"
Seeing the familiar cute figure, Shen Yiyue jumped up with joy.
She rushed over, wanting to hug Ning Yu.
Ning Yu was stunned, then easily dodged this person who wanted to charge at her with her "assets":
"What are you doing? You're all sweaty, it stinks."
Her fair little hand lightly fanned near her nose, making a disgusted expression.
Ning Yu thought to herself, when did this person become so familiar with her?
Shen Yiyue, who had been dodged, almost fell flat on her face.
Seeing that the little loli she had waited so long for wouldn't let her hug and even made a disdainful expression, she immediately pouted in grievance:
"No way, you're making it up!"
Then, completely disregarding her image, she sniffed herself left and right, and continued to pout:
"It doesn't stink at all, it's fragrant! The sweat of us little fairies is all fragrant!"
Ning Yu's mouth twitched, showing a "get lost" expression, and dodged Shen Yiyue's pounce once again.
She turned around and took out a bag from the hiking backpack, showing a mischievous and cunning smile, waving it at Shen Yiyue:
"We're eating this tonight!"
