After dying from overworking (996 schedule), Ye Miao transmigrated into a game she had long left idle.
This game was set in an otherworldly background where order had collapsed and resources ...
Everyone looked at each other.
The warrior looked at the mage next to him, the mage looked at the priest further away, and the priest turned his head and looked deep into the woods, trying to ask what the archers meant.
Ye Miao had no intention of waiting. He spun the dagger in his hand like a show of skill and stepped towards the warrior.
Just one step, and within sight, the warriors, priests, and mages all retreated at the same time. Then, the best-equipped warrior made a decisive decision: "Retreat!"
Everyone seemed to have just woken up from a dream, as if they had just remembered that in addition to "one-on-one" and "attack together", they also had the option of escaping. Suddenly, as if a switch was pressed, they turned around and ran away as fast as they could.
"Tsk." Ye Miao was not surprised by the result. He put the dagger back into the scabbard and walked back into the fence wall.
The members of the shelter inside the wall were still stunned. As she came back, everyone felt an invisible sense of oppression and mechanically retreated to both sides to make way for her.
Then, the relief of having escaped death gradually washed over them. The enemy had been so powerful earlier that everyone had thought they were doomed. No one had expected the situation to be completely reversed in just two minutes.
Amidst all the joy, only Su Xinran couldn't be happy.
Her legs were still weak, and she didn't care about the bleeding shoulder. She stumbled back to the campfire and helped Lu Weiwei up: "Weiwei, Weiwei!"
Lu Weiwei had just been hit by two assassin's darts. The darts were poisonous, and although the immediate damage was not high, they had a paralyzing effect and would cause the person to continuously lose health.
Su Xinran and Lu Weiwei's health points were not high to begin with. Now, after a few minutes, Lu Weiwei's health points have dropped below 100 and she may die at any time.
"Forget it..." Lu Weiwei let out a sigh of resignation and smiled.
Along with this smile, a layer of fresh, light green light enveloped her. Lu Weiwei thought it was a near-death hallucination. At the same time, she felt as if some strength had returned to her body. She thought with relief: This is not a bad way to die.
But soon, she came to her senses - she seemed to have really regained her strength.
When I looked up, I saw that the health bar that was only a thin line just now had been filled up, and the health value was restored to a full 1000.
Su Xinran, who had lost half of her health bar, also had her health bar filled up. She turned around in surprise and saw that there was still a faint green light on Ye Miao's raised hand after casting a skill.
Advanced Healing itself was an area-of-effect skill, and now that everyone was standing so close together, aside from Su Xinran and Lu Weiwei, the members who had been injured in the earlier battle were also healed. Having just recovered from the shock of the counterattack, the crowd was met with a new wave of shock, staring at Ye Miao with admiration.
Ye Miao looked at Su Xinran and Lu Weiwei's still pale faces: "Are there any negative effects?"
"...Yeah." Su Xinran nodded, "I'm still losing blood and my body is a little numb."
"Come with me to the warehouse to get medicine." Ye Miao said, glancing at the others, "If anyone else has been infected, come and get medicine together."
After saying that, she took the lead and walked towards the shelter warehouse. The wounded supported each other and followed one after another.
Ye Miao counted the number of people who followed him, opened the warehouse door, clicked on the panel, and took out 7 bottles of [Recovery Potion].
Hiss...my flesh hurts.
All the potions stored in the warehouse now were dropped by monsters, but the probability of monsters dropping potions was not high, and she had not saved up many in total.
So this wasn't a long-term solution. If she wanted a continuous supply of medicine, she would have to hire someone skilled in pharmacy.
After a fierce battle, the second half of the night passed peacefully. The next morning, many members woke up early. Ye Miao heard someone knocking on the door in her sleep. She forced herself to listen and saw that it was He Kailai who wanted to make breakfast for everyone and wanted to get the ingredients from her.
She then opened the operation panel and gave He Kailai, Hu Hao, and Miao Lin temporary permission to take ingredients from the warehouse. The open space outside soon became busy, and the aroma of food gradually wafted out.
The three of them used to be able to cook a lot of dishes, but now they could only follow the cooking cards they had learned. So Miao Lin made meat porridge with fresh meat and rice, Hu Hao fried some eggs, and He Kailai made hand-pulled pancakes with wheat flour and some sausages with fresh meat and wheat flour.
This breakfast was quite good, and everyone sat in the courtyard and ate with gusto. As they ate, some people inevitably talked about the thrilling battle last night, exclaiming in amazement: "Our boss looks cute, but I didn't expect him to be such a good fighter. I wonder what level his fighting skills are."
"Yeah. Seeing her combat skills and her amazing healing, I think it doesn't matter if she doesn't have barrier stones or defensive buildings. She can kill anyone with one sword, so who is she afraid of?"
Fang Shuqin heard the conversation. Since she had no combat skills and therefore wasn't assigned to duty, she knew nothing about what happened last night. Hearing this, she asked curiously, "What are you talking about? Is that little girl really good at fighting?"
"Yes." The person who spoke earlier turned around and recognized her as the doctor with level 70 healing skills. He patiently told her what happened last night.
Fang Shuqin was secretly shocked. She hurriedly finished her breakfast and returned to her thatched hut.
Ye Miao, who originally wanted to take a nap, was awakened by the mixed aroma of hand-pulled pancakes and meat porridge. He sat up yawning, but after washing up, he did not rush to have breakfast. Instead, he knocked on Fang Shuqin's door.
Fang Shuqin opened the door and saw that it was her. She looked a little surprised and said, "Come in."
"Thank you." Ye Miao followed her into the house. The furniture in the thatched house was simple. Besides the bed made of straw, there was only a wooden cabinet, a wooden table, and a wooden chair.
Ye Miao sat down on the chair, and Fang Shuqin casually sat down beside the bed. She asked her politely, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
"Yeah." Ye Miao nodded and stated his need directly. "I had a fight with someone last night, and many of the team members were infected with negative effects after the battle. However, there are very few potions dropped in the game, and I'm afraid that if I continue like this, I won't be able to make ends meet... I wanted to ask if you have any friends who can make potions? If so, can you invite them to our shelter?"
"Yes, yes, yes." Fang Shuqin nodded repeatedly.
Medicine and pharmacy are closely related, and she has many friends who are pharmacists. According to the logic of the game system, since she, a doctor, has the healing skill, then they should all have the potion skill.
"Thank you!" Ye Miao expressed her gratitude politely, with a pair of ponytails, just like the "neighbor's kid" that the elders talked about.
"I'm going to have breakfast first." She said again. As she was about to get up, Fang Shuqin hurriedly said, "Wait..."
Ye Miao was stunned. Fang Shuqin said, "I have something else I want to discuss with you."
Ye Miao looked at her: "You say."
"Well... I actually have a son." Fang Shuqin said a little embarrassedly, "He's a freshman at the police academy, so from the beginning of this game, he already had that... that combat skill. It would have been easier for him to join another shelter, so I let him go first. When I came here yesterday, I didn't see there were even any barrier stones here, so I didn't mention him."
Ye Miao understood: "But now you want him to come over?"
"Yes!" Fang Shuqin nodded hurriedly. "He's... not bad either. Probably not as good as you, but he's also level 38."
"Level 38? That's amazing!" Ye Miao said happily.
Based on her experience, she judged that Wu Wei, who dared to lead people to launch a sneak attack yesterday, was at most level 40.
"Let him come. With him here, we can divide the work and take turns going out to fight monsters and guarding the house." Ye Miao said while thinking. Fang Shuqin agreed repeatedly: "Well, thank you!"
"Remember to ask about the alchemy for me!" Ye Miao said as he stood up. "I'm leaving first!"
"You go ahead and do your thing." Fang Shuqin smiled as she sent Ye Miao to the door. Ye Miao walked out the door and went straight to the hand-pulled pancakes and meat porridge.
The Fearless Shelter was established on the fourth day after the arrival of the Doomsday System. The founder of the shelter, Wu Wei, leveled up quickly and quickly recruited a group of equally powerful men. They plundered resources everywhere for several days and lived a very comfortable life.
Therefore, most members were full of anticipation for Fearless Sanctuary, believing they would thrive in this group. However, just last night, Wu Wei was killed while leading his men out to rob resources as usual. Other members who returned reported that he was killed in a single blow.
The coming of the end of the world has brought everyone back to the most primitive state of the survival of the fittest. In such a situation, people will naturally worship the strong and subconsciously recognize the strong as the "boss".
Now that the "boss" had been suddenly killed, the atmosphere in the entire shelter became dejected. The members munched their bread in silence, with occasional sighs echoing, as if all hope had been wiped out overnight, and their true "end of the world" was about to arrive.
"Stop sighing!" A tall woman stood on the high ground in the shelter. She had fair skin and delicately painted fiery red lips. Even in the apocalypse, she looked very aura. "This is the apocalypse. Accidents are normal. Since the boss is gone, we will elect a new one. The most capable one will take the position!"
"Sure," someone immediately chimed in. "I think you can do it. You were second in command before, and now that the top boss is gone, it's perfect for you to take over."
"I do." The woman laughed, but spoke rationally. "But my fighting skills aren't the best. If someone more skilled is willing to take this position, I'll accept it."
Her gaze darted around, stopping when it caught sight of a figure in the shadows of the reception hall. "Yuming, would you consider taking the exam? You're a police academy student, here to protect people's lives and property?"
"No," Fang Yuming said calmly, the shadow of the house perfectly hiding the sneer on his lips. A refuge that was used for robbery and looting, and what about "protecting human life and property safety"? If he had known this was the nature of the refuge, he wouldn't have joined yesterday.
After saying that, he picked up his backpack and walked out: "I still have family members who survived, please come and reunite with me. I'm withdrawing now, and we'll see each other again if we're lucky."
"Yuming..." The person next to him was about to call him when the system prompt popped up: Member [Fang Yuming] exited [Fearless Shelter].
He left so decisively.
Everyone was speechless and could only watch him leave.
After walking out of the Fearless Shelter, Fang Yuming opened the panel and replied to the message: I'll be there right away, please tell me the name of the shelter.
Fang Shuqin: A refuge for overnight wealth.
"?" Fang Yuming stared at the name, his brows furrowed.
The shelter that those people just mentioned, where Wu Wei died, seemed to be called this name.
