Chapter 21 - Twenty: Sanctuary

Chapter 21: Chapter Twenty: SanctuaryThe next morning, as the roll-up door of the supermarket opened, a young boy with his left arm hanging in the air and a girl nibbling on a chocolate bar walked out into the light filled with the morning sunshine.

"Clearing it... It’s actually simple, right?" Yuanyuan said.

Su Ming’an understood what she meant.

Actually, clearing the first world was really simple.

Given four days of preparation time, players could easily prepare enough food and run to a safe place. Just like the supermarket they had just left, pulling down the roll-up door, staying inside for ten days wouldn’t matter.

"But this way you’ll never get stronger," Su Ming’an said, holding a fire axe he had found in the supermarket in one hand, and walked out first.

Yuanyuan’s gaze lingered momentarily on his empty sleeve, then she hurried her steps to catch up.

The hospital was in the northeast corner of the city, and it would take another day to get there. After walking for a day, Su Ming’an and Yuanyuan both leveled up to First Rank Level Three, and once again, three attribute points were added to Spirit.

Suddenly, Su Ming’an felt someone tugging on his sleeve.

A girl with sparkling eyes looked up at him.

Her bag of chocolate bars was now empty.

"Did you finish all the ones in your backpack too?" Su Ming’an was somewhat surprised. That was a one-cubic-meter backpack, and Yuanyuan’s bag was filled with nothing but swords and piles of chocolate snacks. They had just filled it up before leaving the supermarket but now it was empty...

Facing the girl’s solemn nod, Su Ming’an sighed and walked towards a nearby small supermarket.

The first floor sold daily necessities, and he pulled Yuanyuan straight to the second floor, only to spot a zombie crouching in the corner.

Su Ming’an slightly raised his axe.

"Swish—"

Suddenly, a heavy steel pipe fiercely stabbed into the zombie’s temple from the side.

Su Ming’an slightly lifted his eyelid and saw a tall man in military uniform, his posture as straight as a poplar tree, his deep-set eyes showing no oddity, and his appearance stern, as if the clashing of metal still echoed around him.

"Relax, you are safe now." The man’s lips curled into a comforting smile as he reached out his large hand, seemingly wanting to shake hands with Su Ming’an.

"Plop." Yuanyuan’s empty chocolate bar bag dropped into his palm, her eyes already fixed on the snacks on the second-floor shelves, her steps drifting towards them.

Yang Changxu was an army officer before entering the game, and after entering, he didn’t follow the mainstream. He met a fellow troop member and actively went to rescue players who lacked escape capabilities, clearing a kindergarten in the city and turning it into a sanctuary.

He and other players with combat power went out to

His arm throbbed with a stinging and numbing sensation; it felt as though the evil intent determined to claim his life was climbing up, fiercely biting into his limb.

Yang Changxu’s mind blanked for a moment, but he quickly steeled himself, thinking that since he was already infected, he might as well fight this damned zombie—

Then he suddenly saw a dazzling silver flash at the corner of his eye.

A seemingly endless sharpness scratched past his cheek. He stepped back half a step and saw the one-handed girl holding a sword, with a chocolate bar in her mouth. Her black hair fluttered slightly behind her, a fuzzy patch still moving like snow on her, but her ice sword had already pierced through the head of the mutated zombie, bringing with it gusts of chilling wind.

"Crack." The chocolate bar in her mouth unexpectedly broke. Yuanyuan looked down at it on the ground with some dismay, the blade’s light instantly retracted as she reached into her bag for another one.

Meanwhile, the body of the mutated zombie also collapsed lifelessly.
