The Glutton began to slowly heal the two deep wounds it had just received.
But seeing its prey now as fragile as a candle in the wind, barely standing with the support of a blade.
Rage and hunting instinct made it pause its regeneration.
It wanted to finish off this prey that had wounded it twice while Ning Yu was at her most vulnerable!
The hideous face with its mouth full of sharp teeth let out another roar.
The putrid stench mixed with the stale air of the garage, creating an unbearable odor.
It charged towards Ning Yu, who was barely managing to stay upright.
But its steps were no longer agile, even stumbling, clearly showing that Ning Yu's two strikes had caused significant damage.
[Crimson War Blade upgrade experience +2]
[Crimson War Blade upgrade experience +2]
Hearing the system prompts in her mind, Ning Yu realized that Blood's Ancient Wish had activated again due to the two recent strikes, absorbing the Glutton's blood and gaining experience points.
It also provided her with a bit of energy!
Although her body was wracked with pain and the wet sensation of blood flowing from her wounds was extremely uncomfortable,
Ning Yu sprang into action, pressing her hand against the control switch of the nearby blast door.
The blast door, at least 30-40cm thick, slowly began to activate, starting to close with a rumbling sound!
Seeing the Glutton charging at her again, Ning Yu didn't raise the Crimson War Blade to face it.
She merely displayed a victorious smile, her blood-red eyes bewitchingly beautiful, the corners of her mouth slightly upturned.
The Glutton, seeing the door beginning to close, thought Ning Yu was trying to escape.
It charged even faster towards Ning Yu, raising its claws as it approached, intending to deliver a fatal blow!
Just as it was about to grab Ning Yu in that critical moment, she timed it perfectly and rolled on the ground.
She rolled through the gap of the blast door directly to the outside.
The Glutton immediately flew into a rage!
After chasing for so long and being wounded multiple times, how could it easily give up its prey?
Howling, it immediately followed Ning Yu, diving towards the narrowing gap of the large door.
However, unlike the petite body of the silver-haired little girl, its ugly form got directly caught in the door, which kept closing tighter and tighter!
The thick door exerted an incredibly strong biting force, trapping it immobile and causing it increasing pain!
Outside the door, Ning Yu's frail body was kneeling on the ground, that roll having almost exhausted her last reserves of strength.
She felt extremely dizzy, her body reaching its limit.
But she still forced herself up, using the Crimson War Blade to support herself once again.
Slowly walking to the front of the immobilized Glutton, she brought her blood-colored eyes close, staring intently at it.
As if silently mocking it.
Seeing its hateful prey dare to come so close, the Glutton immediately opened its bloody maw, intending to bite Ning Yu to death.
But the distance had been perfectly judged by Ning Yu, and it couldn't reach her at all.
She softly spoke a sentence in human language that the Glutton couldn't understand at all:
"You. Are. Finished."
In the darkness, the silver-haired little girl's eyes emitted a red glow, her smiling face cunning, otherworldly, and tragically beautiful.
With a "swish," the Crimson War Blade pierced into the Glutton's head without any resistance.
[Ding! You have killed a low-level mutant zombie Glutton, gaining 500 points!]
[Crimson War Blade upgrade experience +100]
[Ding! Your weapon Crimson War Blade has upgraded to: Mid-level. Unlocked weapon active skill: Dark Side of the Moon.]
[Ding! Urgent mission: Kill the Glutton 1/1 completed]
[Rewards issued: 5000 points, Storage Space exchange permission]
As a series of system prompts rang out in her mind, Ning Yu could no longer support herself and collapsed to the ground in pain.
But her hand didn't let go, still gripping the handle of the Crimson War Blade, its blade still embedded in the Glutton's head.
A warm current flowed along the blade handle, slowly entering her body.
It was Blood's Ancient Wish activating after absorbing the Glutton's blood, restoring her energy.
After a long while, the Glutton had been drained until it shriveled up, and the underground garage's blast door finally closed completely, severing it in two.
Only then did the silver-haired little girl slightly recover some strength, barely managing to sit up.
She began to examine her body.
There were deep, torn wounds on her abdomen and thigh, and multiple fractures throughout her body.
An ordinary person with such injuries would likely have already passed out from the unbearable pain.
Ning Yu had undergone pain endurance training in her previous life, which was why she could barely withstand it.
Even so, her forehead was covered in cold sweat from the pain.
Unable to take the time to look at the various rewards, she directly opened her points tab:
[Points: 9540]
This time, she was unprecedentedly 'wealthy,' but she was about to start spending immediately.
She quickly opened the [Supplies] tab and began searching for medical items.
Going back to treat her wounds was now out of the question.
The safest option was to endure the pain, urgently exchange points for some medical supplies, and treat her wounds on the spot.
[You have exchanged for medical gauze bandages (3 rolls)! Cost: 500 points]
[You have exchanged for medical disinfectant hydrogen peroxide (1 bottle)! Cost: 1000 points]
.....
Inside the small supermarket, in the backyard.
Shen Yiyue had started her afternoon training, and Ning Yu hadn't returned by noon.
But for some reason, she felt uneasy, perhaps because of the two women who had come asking for help at noon.
It wasn't that she felt guilty for not lending a hand, but rather that she could still recall the sinister look in those women's eyes.
She felt that this small supermarket had probably been targeted by someone.
But Ning Yu hadn't returned yet, and she had no one to discuss it with.
She just continued training diligently, planning to talk to Ning Yu about the situation when she returned.
Just then, she heard the sound of something breaking:
A loud "clang" came from the front door of the supermarket.
Had those two women come back?
Her heart immediately sank, and the bad feeling she'd had before grew even stronger.
Grabbing her long sword, she didn't even take the time to change out of her workout clothes before quickly rushing towards the front of the supermarket.
Her heart was racing violently.
Arriving at the front door, the scene before her eyes made Shen Yiyue's face pale with shock.
The lock on the door handle had been opened, and of the three iron chains inside, two had already been broken!
The last iron chain was being forcefully squeezed by a huge pair of plier-like cutters.
It was a hydraulic cutter! Being wielded by a pair of muscular arms.
Shen Yiyue anxiously rushed forward, trying to stop it, but just then:
"Clang!"
The last iron chain was also cut, and the supermarket's front door had been forcibly broken open with such thunderous methods!
Weren't they afraid that such a loud noise would attract zombies?
Shen Yiyue thought as she stopped her rush forward and slowly retreated.
The door was gently pushed open, and the owner of those muscular arms walked in.
A burly man with a cigarette in his mouth, bare-chested, entered.
His body was toned and muscular, with a fierce demon tattooed on his chest, looking very intimidating.
As soon as he entered, he saw the apprehensive Shen Yiyue.
He saw her beautiful and cute appearance, with white teeth and red lips, a slender and graceful figure wrapped in black workout clothes.
A pair of beautiful, clear eyes were looking at him with an angry gaze.
He immediately let out a frivolous whistle, his eyebrows raising unevenly, his eyes full of playfulness:
"Wow, what a hot little number~"

u Chenyuan transmigrated into a female-oriented novel about a real and fake heiress, becoming the CEO elder brother of both. Unfortunately, the entire Lu family—including himself, the CEO—were mere cannon fodder in the story. Determined to save himself, Lu Chenyuan took action. The spoiled, attention-seeking fake heiress? Thrown into the harsh realities of the working class to learn humility. The love-struck real heiress? Pushed toward academic excellence, so lofty goals would blind her to trivial romances. As for the betrayed, vengeful arranged marriage wife… the plot hadn’t even begun yet. There was still time—if he couldn’t handle her, he could at least avoid her. "CEO Lu, are you avoiding me?" Mo Qingli fixed her gaze on Lu Chenyuan. For the first time, the shrewd and calculating Lu Chenyuan felt a flicker of unease.
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
