Chapter 37 World Mission Refreshed
When Youxi regained consciousness, she found herself standing in front of a matte black gate.
She took out her phone from her native world, which showed 00:00 on November 7.
The phone could not show the time in seconds, and the number remained at 0 before a minute.
But if there was a clock face showing seconds at this time, she knew that when she regained consciousness, the second hand on it would not be at 0, but would point to 3.
This also means that she stayed in the apocalyptic world for three years this time.
As she once said, even if the system announced that the mission was completed, she would not necessarily leave immediately.
At that time, she did not choose to end the mission and leave immediately...
...
[Do you want to leave the current apocalyptic world? ]
Because she did not speak, the Star House system asked again.
Youxi: Lou Rui is a tasker, right?
[Yes.]
Youxi: So now Lou Rui has completed his mission and should have left this world, right?
[Yes.]
Youxi: Then why didn't you answer when I asked you before?
[The host's way of asking questions is different.]
Youxi really didn't understand this: So, if this time is not a coincidence, wouldn't this Shelter No. 28 never appear?
[Host, currently Shelters No. 1 to 12 have appeared in the country, and it is only a matter of time before Shelter No. 28 appears. The activation and naming of the shelter card is an accident, but also an opportunity.]
Youxi: ...
Hehe, as long as you are happy.
Youxi: Does Lou Rui come from the same native world as me?
[Cannot answer because of out of range. 】
This system is really a dog. Except for those things that she has almost guessed the answer to, every time she asked a key question, the system started to play dead.
But now is not the time to entangle this matter. She has to decide another thing quickly.
You Xi: You said before that if I choose to leave now, the body of the character in this world will survive according to the existing track. What does this existing track include? Character personality? Force value? Star House Warehouse?
[After the host leaves, the connection with this apocalyptic world is cut off by default. The character personality and force value will be retained. The items taken out of the Star House Warehouse by the host will be retained. All other items returned to the Star House Warehouse will return to the original world with the host. 】
Sure enough, just as Youxi expected, the Star House Warehouse could not have been preserved after she left, otherwise the things in the warehouse would not have been the same after she left the last apocalyptic world.
Youxi looked back at the RV, and the sound of a TV series came from it. These days, You's father and mother are chasing an ancient sadomasochistic drama, and they discuss the plot even when they eat every day.
Under the awning between the RV and the big tree, the clothes of their family of three are still floating on the clothesline set up by You's father.
A month ago, the troops took back a suburban water plant from the zombies, re-recruited employees, strengthened the security fortifications, and finally resumed production at the water plant.
Today, all water supplies in the wetland have returned to normal, but due to water volume and other issues, water is still limited every day. However, compared to the days when people didn't even dare to wash their clothes or hair and counted milliliters of water every day, it can be said that the world has turned upside down.
The farms and farmlands that were protected before have also harvested various vegetables and fruits. Now the shelter has opened up to complete tasks to earn points, and the points can be exchanged for various water supplies.
Life seems to be getting better little by little. Everyone is working hard, and every little progress is made, everyone is high-spirited.
How can she bear to leave at this time?
One second a year, she can afford it, plus now she has over 100 star coins left, if there is any danger, she can directly buy 4 [Strong Anti-Sugar Pills], and stack her physical strength to the limit, believing that she can cope with any difficult situation.
After thinking for a moment, Youxi made a decision.
Youxi: Don't leave the apocalyptic world for the time being.
[World Mission has been refreshed!]
[World Mission: 1. Kill 0/1000 zombies (100 star coins can be obtained after completion), 2. Complete the wish of the world character's parents to "return home" (100 star coins can be obtained after completion). You will not die if the mission fails, and you can leave this apocalyptic world at any time when not in combat.]
"Wow~" Youxi couldn't help but whistle.
As expected, wealth and wealth are sought in danger. The two overtime tasks add up to 200 star coins.
Of the two tasks, the first one is actually easier to complete. On the contrary, for the second task, she has to go to You's father and mother to have a good talk and find out their true thoughts.
If their wish to "return home" is to return to the original community in S City and the original house, it is not impossible to complete it, but it may take many years.
But fortunately, for You's father and mother, the real home is not where the house is located, but the people living in the house.
After knowing their wish, Youxi began to accept outbound tasks. Now the shelter with a protective film has been activated, and the area with a radius of 30,000 square meters centered on the current residence of the Lou family has been included in the absolute safety zone. In addition to the care of the Lou family, Youxi can rest assured to leave You's father and mother out for a few days to complete the task.
After learning from the system that the physical enhancement effect of [Strong Anti-Sugar Pill] taken in the apocalyptic world can also be transferred to the original world, she spent 20 star coins to buy another one. After
using it twice, the original 100 units of physical fitness have been increased to 225 units.
Of course, this is just the result of pure numerical calculations. In fact, she has been in this apocalyptic world for several months. After experiencing various actual combat and training, her physical fitness has long exceeded the basic values when she first entered.
Therefore, it is conservatively estimated that her current physical fitness is between 235 and 240 units.
This value means that her running speed is more than twice that of an ordinary person; her strength is also more than twice that of an ordinary person; her jumping ability is also more than twice that of an ordinary person...
Compared with normal adult men, she can almost win against six or seven people.
She spent half a year taking on tasks intermittently, accumulating enough points to apply for permanent residency for You's parents in a moderately sized bungalow on the 7th island.
The house faces south and has a small yard, but because it has no second floor and is not very spacious, it is not suitable for a family of all ages, so it has been vacant.
"Mom and Dad, we can't go back to the original city for the time being. Even if it is cleaned up, it will take two to three years to restore to its original appearance. It's different here. The 14 islands of the wetland park have all been developed, and the surrounding planting areas, breeding areas and factories are all well developed. In time, this will become the new city center. Let's settle down here in the future, okay?"
Father and Mother You looked at the clean, tidy and bright house and wiped their eyes silently: "Okay, this will be our home from now on."
Afterwards, they emptied the items in the RV, ended their ten-month car travel life, and returned to live in the house, truly returning to their life before the end of the world.
Youxi cleaned the RV and drove it to a deserted area during an outing. She put the whole thing into the Star House Warehouse.
In order to put it in, she had to put some daily necessities and long-lasting rice, mineral water and convenience foods in the small room of the new residence in advance. After that, she stuffed a lot of things into the RV first, and then there was enough space.
After that, she found a large off-road vehicle that was 60% to 70% new, cleaned it and drove it back to the wetland park, so that it would be used as a means of transportation when You's father needed it in the future.
In the next two years, Youxi kept an eye on the number of zombies cleaned up while continuing to take on various tasks to earn points.
Since the protective film can clean the zombie virus, it is absolutely safe within the range of the protective film, so she plans to earn enough points for You's father and mother to spend in the safe base and leave.
She has carefully observed the current "Lou Rui" before, and he is no different from before. The way he speaks, his reaction ability, some expressions and habits are exactly the same.
This makes her have enough confidence in "You Xi" after she leaves.
For two years, she followed the team to many urban ruins with dense zombies. She learned to use real hand grabs and assault grabs. After several life-and-death missions, the officer of that unit finally gave her the hand grabs and assault grabs she used.
When conditions allowed, she sneaked into various jewelry and jade shops, and the gold, diamonds, and jade she collected filled a half-cubic-meter storage box in the Xingwu warehouse.
These things would be much more valuable to bring to peacetime than if she had collected supplies directly from the Xingwu warehouse.
The second thing was medicines, pharmaceuticals, and disposable medical supplies, which she also stockpiled in moderation during her search. She stockpiled a lot of various types, including many restricted-purchase medicines, filling two storage boxes of about one cubic meter.
No wonder people always say that in troubled times, cruelty and opportunities always coexist.
The day before she left, she brought her parents to set up a table in the yard, and invited the Lou family, Leng Mian, Zhao Zheng, and several familiar comrades in the army to have a delicious barbecue.
Nowadays, supplies are not as scarce as in the past, so she took out many different kinds of meat: pork belly, tenderloin, beef snowflakes, beef tongue, beef ribs, lamb chops, chicken wings, shrimps...
and various flavors of seasonings: barbecue sauce, cumin powder, black pepper sauce.
There are also various side dishes: juicy lettuce, sweet cucumber, sweet and crisp carrots, garlic...
The pork belly on the baking tray was sizzling, and the air was filled with the aroma of barbecue.
The meal took several hours, and we played various games, with laughter all over the table. In the end, Youxi brought a box of spicy strips from the small room in her home (Xingwu Warehouse), which contained 50 small bags.
Although the construction of various materials in the wetland is developing well now, most of the development is planting and breeding due to environmental geography and priority levels.
Spicy strips like this are processed snacks. Such factories can only be found in another safe zone, and they are in short supply. Therefore, the spicy strips that were everywhere before are now a rare commodity.
Youxi took out a box at once, which was really exciting.
At the end of dinner, she said goodbye to everyone in person.
Leng Mian didn't know if he had noticed something. He kept looking back as he walked away. Finally, he ran back a few steps and told her: "Xiaoxi, I have officially joined the army. In a few days, I will follow the front-line troops to recapture S City."
"Well, be careful and come back safely. Everyone is waiting for you here."
Leng Mian looked at her and asked: "You too?"
"Of course I will be here. I will always be here." "Youxi" will definitely be here. "She" will continue to live according to her past existing track.
But when she looked at Leng Mian and thought of the past three years, she still felt reluctant to leave.
You Xi reached out and gave him her first hug in three years: "Come on, complete the task well, and I'll wait for you to come back."
On the day she left, she and her parents made dumplings at home, with her favorite chive and egg filling and her mother's favorite cabbage and pork. Her father washed the side dishes for the hot pot to be eaten in the evening, and a modern urban drama about mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was playing on the TV next to him.
That night, she filled the refrigerator and cabinets at home with all kinds of food: vegetables, fish, meat, eggs, milk, fruits, drinks, dry goods and snacks, and left enough rice, noodles, convenience foods, and several 50L barrels of spare gasoline in the small room for her parents to eat for one or two years.
Finally, she placed the island pass that stored all her points on the table, and said to herself in the mirror, "Please, take good care of them."
**
[The second apocalyptic world mission has been completed, the number of star coins: 276. ]
[The next mission will be opened at midnight on the 7th of next month, please come to receive the world data before midnight on December 6th. ]
After buying [Strong Anti-Sugar Pills], she bought high-temperature perfume twice, so the current balance of star coins is 276.
If you don't consider the purchasing power of star coins in the Star House Mall, these 276 star coins can be exchanged for 2.76 million soft girl coins, which is enough to buy a house, and three years is only three seconds in the native world.
It looked like this was a fruitful end-of-the-world mission.
As usual, she took a scented bath, blew her hair dry, and was about to change into pajamas, but her hands automatically took off her jeans, T-shirt, and thick sweater jacket.
She took a taxi and went straight back to her parents' house.
Fan Qi went to bed late, and was still watching TV series on her tablet in bed. She was startled by the sound of the electronic door lock unlocking.
She woke up You Feng, and the two of them put on their clothes and went downstairs. As a result, the light in the entrance was on, and their daughter was bending over to change her shoes there.
"My dear girl, what's wrong with you? Why are you going home at this time?" Fan Qi's heart, which had just been relieved, was lifted up again.
"It's nothing, I just missed you guys and want to go home tonight." You Xi went forward and hugged Fan Qi, buried her cheek in her mother's shoulder, and smelled the familiar scent on her body.
"Oh my, our daughter is so old and still acting like a spoiled child..." Fan Qi hugged her daughter who was a little taller than her, feeling happy but also a little worried.
You Xi has always been very independent. She doesn't talk much, but she is very organized. She will grit her teeth to complete any goal she sets, no matter how difficult it is.
She rarely sees her like this, and she doesn't know what happened. But she is very satisfied to be treated like a spoiled child by her daughter.
"Are you hungry? Can mommy cook you some noodles?"
"I want some vegetable noodles with some luncheon meat."
"Okay, mommy got it. You go to the sofa and play with your phone first. Mommy will be there in a while." Fan Qi walked around the sofa in the living room and went to the open kitchen at the back. You
Feng looked at his daughter, then sat down and planned to have a heart-to-heart talk with her.
Result——
"Dad, let's play mahjong?"
"What?"
"Mobile mahjong, come online, I'll invite you to join a team."
"Oh, okay." Father and mother You usually play this kind of online chess and card games the most. Although they are a little worried about their daughter's abnormal behavior today, it's better to play with her for a while now that their daughter has spoken.
However, Youxi only played two games and ran to the kitchen to cook noodles with mother You.
Mother You washed and cut the vegetables, and used pork to stir-fry the soup base, while she opened the can and cut the luncheon meat.
In the end, the family of three sat around the table in the middle of the night and ate a bowl of fragrant vegetable noodles with luncheon meat. Finally, they brushed their teeth and went back to their rooms to sleep.
Perhaps psychologically, this was Youxi's first night in a peaceful world after three years, and being in the same home with her parents made her feel particularly safe, relaxed and comfortable.
So, she slept until almost noon, and as soon as she woke up, she heard a strange sound outside the glass window, or rather, she was woken up by this sound.
She looked sideways and saw that the floor-to-ceiling windows facing east in the room were mostly covered with curtains, but it was noon and no sunlight came in from outside. The weather seemed very gloomy, so she got up, walked barefoot on the soft carpet, and pulled open the floor-to-ceiling curtains.
Because the apartment is located on the 15th floor, each household has ventilation equipment, so when sleeping normally, it doesn't feel stuffy even if the glass windows are closed. In apartments like this, the glass is double-layered, which is heat-insulating, cold-resistant and soundproof.
There is a small sliding window on the upper layer of the floor-to-ceiling window, which can be opened manually.
She twisted the handle and just pushed the window open a little, and then she heard the strange sound amplified dozens of times. A gust of wind rushed in from the gap, almost blinding her eyes.
You Xi hurriedly pulled the glass window up and locked it, and then she realized that the strange sound she heard when she was sleeping before was the sound of the raging wind outside.
She looked at the city below, and with her superior vision, she could see all the movements on the road below.
The battery-powered cars parked on the side of the road were frequently blown down, and passers-by walked crookedly, almost being pushed by the wind all the way. The glass door of a nearby shop that was originally closed was blown open somehow, and the entire glass door shattered with a bang.
The branches on the roadside were like octopus tentacles, twisting constantly in the strong wind. Some fragile branches were broken and swept away by the wind, almost hitting a passerby.
There were almost no pedestrians on the street, and electric bicycles, motorcycles, and other vehicles were all crooked. Only various cars were still struggling to move forward in the wind.
Youxi heard another gust of wind, and their apartment building seemed to sway a few times in the strong wind.
Her face changed slightly, she hurriedly put on jeans and a thick sweater, opened the door and rushed out: "Mom and Dad! The wind is too strong, it's dangerous upstairs, we can't stay in the apartment, we have to go downstairs quickly!"
Fan Qi and You Feng stood in front of the south-facing French window of the apartment, looking at the city in the distance with shocked expressions. You Xi called them several times, but the two seemed not to hear.
You Xi was looking for the multifunctional escape bag she had prepared for the two of them in the living room cabinet. She quickly got it, and ran to the French window with one in each hand, wanting them to go downstairs quickly with her.
But when she walked to the south-facing French window, she realized what Fan Qi and You Feng were looking at.
From the height of the fifteenth floor, you can clearly see the far end of the city.
Far away, on the other side of the horizon, at the edge of the city, there is a column-shaped object that looks like a spiral moving slightly.
Youxi: ...!!
