Xia Ning snorted coldly: "I don't know him, believe it or not."

Ji Li sneered: "Why should I believe you're not setting a honey trap?"

Xia Ning: "Just because you can still stand and talk."

Ji Li narrowed her eyes, looking ready to fight at any moment.

Li Le quickly tried to smooth things over: "I don't know the big boss, but we can cooperate."

Xia Ning raised an eyebrow: "State your conditions."

Li Le patted Donkey Bro under his butt: "My name is Li Le. To be shameless, I'm somewhat well-known among players. Everyone calls me Donkey Bro."

Xia Ning and Ji Li remained noncommittal.

Li Le wasn't embarrassed and continued, "Actually, the real big brother is my donkey. I'm not afraid to tell you that my profession is animal trainer."

Xia Ning thought to herself, "Just as I expected."

Looking at their faces, Li Le said, "I just saw those mutated creatures chasing you. Did you notice that this stadium is very clean?"

Xia Ning glanced at it, nodded, and nodded in agreement.

Indeed, this stadium looks old and dilapidated, but there are no signs of biological invasion.

Li Le was delighted. He wasn't afraid of the talks breaking down; he was just afraid of running out of topics to discuss.

He boasted, "Thanks to the Iron-Eating Beast, ah, that is, my donkey. It is now a level 3 battle pet. Any mutated creatures of a lower level than it will be intimidated by it and dare not approach. In 'Biohazard Year One,' I relied on Brother Donkey to get around. Zombies would avoid me."

Xia Ning extracted the keyword: Level 3 battle pet.

Not knowing what level her sister was, Xia Ning, as an unlicensed animal trainer, had difficulty finding information about the pets.

Actually, she didn't show it on her face, but she was already somewhat swayed inside, not for any other reason than to get some information about animal trainers from Li Le.

Moreover, I've accompanied Li Le through several dungeons and never witnessed him engaging in any malicious behavior.

Based on current observations, he seems to be a player with principles. Of course, it's possible that he's just hiding it very well.

Seeing Xia Ning's silence, Ji Li understood what was going on. She raised her chin and said coldly, "Your pet is so powerful that it can survive on its own. Why do you want to team up with us?"

Li Le immediately put on a mournful face: "Pets are powerful, but I'm not. Mutant creatures can't hurt me, but what's really deadly in the dungeon is radiation. My food won't last more than a few days, and my medkits are almost gone."

After some genuine and playful haggling, the group finally made a decision.

Brother Donkey was stationed in the small stadium to ensure there were no mutated cockroaches to interfere.

Xia Ning would give Li Le two pieces of bread every day, and Ji Li would provide a bottle of mineral water.

But in front of Li Le.

Xia Ning ostensibly exchanges food for Ji Li's water, and vice versa.

The three of them formed a temporary team, using the stadium as their base and each dividing up their own territory.

The armored vehicle was placed horizontally in the middle as a dividing line between men and women.

Although the roof was dilapidated, the sheet metal around it could still provide some cover.

Xia Ning and Ji Li went to the car to wash up, and took the opportunity to exchange some supplies and notes.

For dinner, the three of them each ate their own bread.

To get closer to him, Li Le even shared his story from "Resident Evil 1".

Xia Ning also learned that Li Le's donkey had been chasing after her all along.

However, during the two days that Xia Ning helped deliver Mei Mi's baby, Li Le went to the survivor base by detour and did not contact the embassy.

Li Le told Xia Ning that there was no such thing as a survivor base.

Upon entering the base, they found it unmanaged, with only a heavily locked broadcasting room. There were no broadcasters inside; the empty room contained a recording device that continuously broadcast Utopia to the northern region.

He then discovered three identical babies placed in petri dishes in a secret room.

The system said they were test subjects.

The instant Li Le left the instance, he saw the baby in the middle open its eyes.

"You have no idea how bizarre that scene was."

Li Le clicked his tongue in disbelief; he almost thought he had entered a supernatural instance.

He even asked Xia Ning in a wildly imaginative way, "You said that the first year of biohazards, could it be the predecessor of the wasteland?"

Xia Ning glanced at him and said, "The wasteland is a wasteland with no trace of missile bombing. People must have migrated together while they were still alive."

Instead of the living, the dead, and the living dead being annihilated by missiles.

In fact, Xia Ning felt that the wasteland was more likely to be the future of disaster-stricken cities.

When she received the forecast that the toxic fog would sweep through City A, she felt that the authorities had the courage to order all citizens to evacuate quickly.

She only thought these things and wouldn't say them to Li Le.

The more mysterious her image is in Li Le's mind, the more advantageous it is for her.

day4

The radiation concentration has increased.

Even indoors, Xia Ning loses 5 stamina points per hour.

This was even after she had drunk the [basic antidote].

Li Le was losing at least 8 yuan per hour, and he was complaining so much he was practically becoming a broken record.

Xia Ning ignored her and secretly handed her older sister a vial of antidote. Ji Li returned the favor with a clove of garlic.

The number of online users has dropped to the 50s.

A small squad went on a killing and arson spree, and they successfully provoked public outrage.

Before they could bomb the hospital, they were ambushed by another group of people.

-

"A new Death card has been generated immediately: Killed by a bullet. (Valid for 42 hours)"

"The next batch of supply boxes (50 boxes) will be delivered in half an hour. Please be prepared."

Two system announcements sounded simultaneously.

Li Le suddenly raised his head.

Xia Ning thought he was going to ask if they were going to rob supplies.

Unexpectedly, Li Le's eyes lit up and he said, "Boss, when my stamina is about to give out, you can shoot me and I'll be back to full health."

Xia Ning: "..."

That makes some sense.

Xia Ning drew her gun: "I'll shoot you right now."

Li Le: "Ah, wait a minute."

--Bang!

As Donkey Brother raised its hoof, Ji Li fell to the ground with a bloody hole in her head.

Li Le was dumbfounded.

Xia Ning glanced at the donkey, whose size had instantly tripled, smiled at Li Le, and twirled the pistol in her hand.

"Looks like your stamina isn't as bad as you said."

Li Le chuckled dryly and patted his iron-eating beast.

Brother Donkey obediently returned to its original form.

Li Le's words implied that he couldn't control his pet, Donkey Brother, who was a stubborn donkey, and that he, as its owner, was both pitiful and helpless.

Xia Ning didn't believe it. How could a master without the ability control a level 3 pet and allow it to survive to this round?

As it turns out, being naive, stupid, weak, and incompetent was Li Le's protective facade.

The donkey obediently followed his commands from beginning to end.
