Cang Qing Base Station.

“How’s the situation?” He Linbing had already carried the weapon that was still in the experimental stage and arrived at the gap. She patted the team member beside her who was fully prepared.

“There’s no time to repair it. There’s already a large number of zombies surrounded outside and they’re about to rush over. The leader and the people with great lethality are already confronting each other in front and are about to start a battle.”

“What we have to do now is to cover fire. Also, the leader wants us to save as much ammunition as possible.”

The team member explained. His eyes were still fixed on the battlefield that was about to start, and he did not notice He Linbing beside him.

He Linbing closed her eyes and thought for a few seconds. She understood what the leader was doing.

They were here for the mission, and the base had only sent 20 people. The camp outside was a small temporary residence, and the defensive wall was only enough to block ordinary zombies.

It was the same for the base in C City. After all, they were still in the perimeter5, and their ultimate goal was the Prism Fruit and the supplies in C City. This means they had to infiltrate in.

And this also meant that the current camp could be abandoned at any time.

However, the base had been destroyed and there were zombies surrounding it. It could not be repaired immediately. 20 people had evacuated, but the supplies and other things that could not be moved in time would definitely be ruined.

It was not as good as some of the stronger ability users stalling to give those Earth-type ability users more time to repair the structure.

Bullets were consumables, and they were still lethal to Level 2 and Level 3 zombies. Level 4 zombies can also seriously injured between the eyebrows. Now, very few zombies in the world had evolved to Level 4. Level 5 zombies were all Zombie Kings.

Therefore, the bullets would be of great use when they entered the city.

He Linbing looked at the surrounding zombies. Most of them were ordinary zombies. There were only a small number of Level 1 zombies, and there were only a few Level 2 and 3 zombies.

It was not a big problem, but why was there a big hole in the defensive wall? It should not be possible to be done from the outside. Unless the few Level 2 and Level 3 zombies joined forces, but Level 2 and Level 3 zombies were not so smart, it should be impossible.

She looked at the weapon in her hand. Although she had not finished testing it, she believed that the effect was definitely not bad.

“Researcher He, why are you here?” Just as the team member was about to remind the people beside him that the battle was about to begin, he turned around and realized that it was He Linbing.

This shocked the team member. He was the only ordinary person in their team, but this ordinary person was too important. At this moment, he came to such a dangerous place.

“Hurry up and go back. This place is too dangerous. You shouldn’t be here.” The young man’s tone became serious.

“I’m here to test my weapon.” He Linbing’s expression did not change. She was calm and did not care at all.

Her original mission was to observe actual combat data. She could not hide at the back all the time. This was an opportunity.

“Don’t worry about me. I know what I’m doing. We’re going to fight. Be careful.” Her tone was calm, but it was convincing.

The young man nodded and focused his attention outside again.

The battle was about to begin.

In White Clouds Shop.

After cleaning up the kitchen and preparing dinner again, Yun You sat at the dining table and faced the food. However, she really did not want to move.

“You guys eat first. I’ll rest for a while.”

At this moment, Han Qichuan was a little embarrassed to move again. After all, he was still the main culprit. However, he did not expect that his deep impression stem from being a kitchen killer.

He apologized again dryly. “I’m sorry.” Guilt appeared on his usually deep and cold face.

“Meow!” Big Orange meowed and continued eating.

Forget it, I should eat now! Otherwise, this guy will definitely wait, Yun You thought in her heart.

“It’s fine. It’s not your fault that you lost your memory. There’s nothing wrong with the kitchen. Alright, let’s hurry up and eat! The food won’t taste good when it’s cold.”

“Okay,” Han Qichuan replied dully.

After the meal, Han Qichuan was still fighting to wash the dishes, as if he wanted to make up for the trouble he had caused.

Yun You lay on the sofa and stroked her cat as she looked at the moon outside.

They had been together for almost a day. After this short period of time, Yun You had a preliminary impression of Han Qichuan. He didn’t talk much, didn’t like to smile, wasn’t good at expressing himself, liked animation, and the one who left the deepest impression was the Kitchen Killer.

Thinking of this, Yun You still felt a lingering fear. Fortunately, she was not injured. The power of the pressure cooker’s explosion could not be underestimated. She could not let him approach the kitchen in the future.

Yun You flipped over and faced the ceiling. She raised Big Orange and squish it to calm her nerves. She had to admit that Big Orange’s touch was really soothing.

She wondered what his personality was like before he lost his memory.

“Meow! Put me down quickly,” Big Orange said unhappily.

“Haha, I’m not letting go.”

“Meow! Aren’t you going to open your novice gift bag?” Big Orange struggled and meowed.

“Oh, right. I almost forgot.”

Putting down Big Orange, Big Orange escaped from Yun You’s clutches as soon as it touched the ground. It scurried to the other side of the sofa and tidied its messy fur with a bitter expression.

Yun You’s slender fingers slid through the air and pulled out the system interface.

Beep!

[System: Novice Gift Bag detected. Do you want to open it?]

Yun You clicked Yes.

System: Reward received. Storybook x1. Poker Master Ability Experience duration: 1 day.

Storybook?!

Could this be the storybook she was thinking about? Why was there such a novice gift bag? Could it be that it was specially sent to her to prevent her from being bored in the apocalypse?!

That shouldn’t be the case. The system wouldn’t scam newbies like this, right?

She could still understand the duration of the poker master’s ability experience. This might be some kind of cultivation technique that could allow her to protect herself in the apocalypse.

Big Orange, who was still tidying its fur, saw Yun You opening the gift bag with a look of disbelief. It leaned over curiously.

“Meow, what’s wrong?” His amber cat eyes were filled with curiosity.

Yun You turned her head stiffly and looked at Big Orange.

Big Orange knew that this was bad.

As expected, before he could run, he was scooped up again.

“Meow, let go of me!”

Yun You lowered her head and took a deep breath of Big Orange. She finally calmed down.

Perhaps this book only had a name and might have a special use.

“Meow, storybook?” Big Orange was also in disbelief.

However, it quickly shook its cat head. “Meow, it shouldn’t be as simple as it looks. Wouldn’t you know if you take it out and take a look? You still need me to remind you.”

“…”

She was about to take it out to take a look when this fellow came. He actually dared to mock her. Let’s see if she won’t pull it bald in the future.

She clicked on it.

A ball of light appeared in front of her. Yun You stretched out her hand and caught it. The light dust dissipated, and an ancient kraft paper book appeared in her hand. Its heavy and solemn aura seemed to have crossed the river of time. It had experienced the baptism of time and recorded a long history. On the brown cover, there were three golden words—Story Book.
