"System, why did you wake me up?"
"Master, the nearby metal elements have been absorbed."
Xia Mu closed his eyes, and a virtual information table suddenly appeared in his mind.
This was a new ability he gained after upgrading his vehicle and acquiring the Elemental Transformation Furnace. He could open the Elemental Transformation Furnace in his mind and visually see the resources it had currently absorbed.
At this time, resources such as wood and stone are followed by zeros, and only metal resources have the number 100 written after them.
Although I don't know what units these resources are measured in, the element transformation furnace took a whole night to absorb 100 units of metal. It seems that one unit of metal is definitely much more than one kilogram of metal.
After absorbing the metal resources, the chariot's lights gradually flashed, informing the owner that it was ready to set off at any time.
Just at this moment, a task reminder sounded in Xia Mu's mind again.
[Hunting Mission: I am the Hunter (Phase 2)]
[Quest Requirements: Kill one or more dark creatures with a threat value of 50 or more]
Difficulty level: ☆☆☆☆
[Mission Rewards: Dark Points*200/item, A-level Elemental Transformation Blueprint*1, Cell Level Enhancement Voucher*1]
[Failure Penalty: None]
【Time limit: 24 hours】
It turned out to be an advanced hunting mission.
This time, it's not just about killing a dark creature. Every time you kill a dark creature with a threat value of 50 or more, you will receive a 200 dark point reward.
The rewards seem generous, but in fact, the difficulty coefficient of four stars already indicates the difficulty of the task.
Moreover, this task has an additional time limit, and the task requirements have changed significantly compared to the first stage.
Thinking of the smoker he met at Zhang Dashan's place yesterday, Xia Mu also made a plan.
Now, the most important task is to complete the limited-time mission and eliminate the threat of the Dark Cocoon.
Then we can go back and deal with the smoker to maximize the benefits.
Having made up his mind, Xia Mu was about to get up when he heard a quarrel in the courtyard downstairs.
"Peng boy, stop it! You must give us an explanation today!"
"That's right. Go ask these two people if they have any extra purified water. If they do, ask for some."
"They're so powerful, they must have plenty of resources, right? We don't need anything else, two bottles of water are enough!"
"How can two bottles be enough? I saw them last night. They had two packages, one bigger than the other. They must have a lot of food."
""
Xia Mu quietly came to the window and looked down calmly.
At this time, the yard was full of survivors. They surrounded Peng Le and Acan, and both of them had helpless expressions on their faces.
"Uncle Dong, he's our savior after all. Even if he has water, why should he give it to us?"
Achan already knew the nature of his fellow villagers and felt genuinely helpless about their demands.
Especially Uncle Dong, who, relying on his age and seniority, often went to the homes of other villagers to eat and drink. When the apocalypse came, he was the one who took the initiative to collect the food from all the survivors and distribute it together.
As a result, the food that was reasonably distributed and could last for a long time was eaten up by these villagers in just a few days.
Now, they have extended their claws to their savior.
This made him very conflicted.
"If you don't ask, how do you know they won't give it to you?" Uncle Dong widened his eyes. His already pointed and monkey-faced appearance became even more ferocious after hearing what Acan said.
"Stop talking nonsense and go!"
Acan and Peng Le looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.
How could I possibly ask such a question?
Any person with a conscience would not be able to ask this question!
Now, four days have passed since the resurgence of darkness.
In four days, society collapsed and the legal system disappeared.
The dark creatures that can be seen everywhere have long polluted water resources, causing 50% of the clean water sources on land to be destroyed.
It’s actually not a big problem to go without food for four or five days.
But once there is a lack of water, humans, such fragile creatures, cannot survive even three days.
No wonder Uncle Dong and the others were so anxious. If these two young men just left, where would they find water for so many people?
"I can see that you two are too shy to ask, right?"
Uncle Dong pushed aside Ah Chan who was blocking the door and said fiercely, "Get out of the way. If you are too embarrassed to ask, then I will ask!"
When someone takes the lead, others will also become more confident.
A group of people walked into the house in a mighty manner. Just as they were about to go upstairs, they saw Xia Mu and Xu Xin walking down leisurely from the second floor hand in hand.
"Good morning, everyone."
After a good night's sleep in bed, Xu Xin's complexion looked much better.
She greeted everyone with a smile, not taking Uncle Dong's aggressive attitude seriously at all.
When these rough guys saw Xu Xin's sweet smile, they all stood there in a daze, as if they were cursed by Medusa.
That momentum was instantly shattered by Xu Xin's sweet smile.
"Ahem, we mainly want to ask if you have any extra ones."
Uncle Dong looked at Xia Mu's gradually cold face, and recalled his decisive and sharp figure yesterday. For a moment, he couldn't even speak.
"Water? Sorry, no."
Xia Mu refused bluntly and kept Uncle Dong's words in his mouth.
"Little brother, you can't be so selfish!"
"We're out of water. If you could give us some, it would make life easier for all of us!"
"Yeah, little brother, don't be stingy, take it out quickly."
Listening to these people's righteous voices, no matter how good-tempered Xu Xin was, he couldn't help but frown.
Xia Mu was so angry that he laughed.
Behind the crowd, Acan and Peng Le looked at him with guilt on their faces, put their hands together, and bowed to him from a distance, as if they were apologizing to him on behalf of their fellow villagers.
"Oh, now that you mention it, it suddenly occurred to me that I do have some water."
Xia Mu suddenly said, "I can give you two bottles of mineral water, but I have a condition."
"What conditions!?" Uncle Dong immediately became excited when he heard that Xia Mu was willing to give them water.
"The condition is, I can only give these two bottles of water to two of you. As for whether these two are willing to share the water with others, I don't care. You can decide who to give it to."
When everyone in the room heard Xia Mu's words, they immediately became excited!
Two bottles of water!
Share between two people!
They all looked at Uncle Dong, their expressions changing.
A doubt suddenly arose in everyone's mind.
If Uncle Dong were to distribute both bottles of water
Can they really get some water to drink?
