Chapter 17 Primary Danger Perception
At this moment the system selection appears,
[Obtained 5 inferior psychic fragments, 1 diluted spiritual fluid.]
[Current status: tired, hungry.]
Please make your choice:
[Option 1: Immediately absorb the inferior spiritual energy fragments to replenish physical strength and spiritual power, recover from injuries, and then go out to search for supplies (Risk: Energy is mixed, absorption efficiency is low, and may cause mild discomfort or indigestion. Reward: Weak spiritual energy +1 (per piece), physical strength restored)]
[Option 2: Temporarily put away all crystal cores and spiritual fluids, and immediately go out to find food and water (Risk: Insufficient physical strength, may be unable to cope with danger, Reward: Primary Danger Sense (slightly improves intuitive warning of fatal dangers), weak spiritual energy +1)]
[Option 3: Let the baby try drinking a small amount of spiritual fluid and make a decision after observing the effects (Risk: The baby's body is fragile and may not be able to withstand the spiritual fluid's energy. Reward: Weak spiritual energy +1)]
A virtual light screen pops up.
Bai Li looked at the three options with a frown on his face.
Option three?
Let the little guy drink spiritual liquid?
The risk is too great!
What if the little guy can’t bear it and explodes to death?
Absolutely not!
You must not use spiritual fluid on the little one before you confirm that it is absolutely safe.
Wouldn't that mean we're using the little guy as a test subject?
I have become a beast.
emmm……
It seems like I am now...
Option one?
Absorbing inferior debris?
Although it can recover quickly,
But the risk of indigestion gave her pause.
What she needs now is the best condition to face unknown dangers.
Instead of fighting with bloating.
Option two!
Get out now!
Though tired and hungry,
But her fighting skills and mentality are at their peak!
And that [Basic Danger Perception] is very practical!
Can warn of fatal dangers in advance,
The chance of survival is greatly improved!
"Choose two! Get out now!"
Bai Li made a decisive decision.
[Congratulations on choosing two. Reward: Primary Danger Sense (slightly improves intuitive warning of deadly dangers), Weak Spirit +1)]
A faint cool feeling penetrated her consciousness.
It was as if there was an extra layer of invisible early warning radar.
At the same time, the spiritual energy in the body recovered to two points.
She carefully hid the five rice crystal cores and the cup of spiritual liquid in the deepest part of a torn cardboard box.
Cover it up with debris.
Then,
She walked over to the cardboard box.
Looking at the little ancestor who was staring at her eagerly inside.
"Meow."
"Sister is going out to find food, drink, and water."
"You stay here quietly, don't make any noise, don't move around,"
"Sister will be back soon!"
She stretched out her claws.
Very gently, he touched the baby's face with the pad of his paw.
This time,
Ling Xiao didn't cry or make a fuss.
He just looked at her deeply with his big black eyes.
Then, he nodded his head very slowly and solemnly.
Bai Li's heart was instantly filled with a warm and resolute emotion.
"wait for me!"
She no longer hesitated.
Turn around,
He crawled out from the entrance gap again.
This time,
She blocked the entrance even tighter.
And sprinkled some dirty blood and dust from the Rat King outside,
Bai Li threw the mutant rat king and the bodies of the mutant rats around one by one.
Let the surroundings smell of blood,
Cover up the smell of the basement as much as possible.
If a person with brains could see the cover-up at a glance,
But if they were all brainless beasts, it would be much safer.
Do all this,
Bai Li took one last look at the small entrance.
Then he turned around resolutely,
Taking steps towards a further distance.
The golden sunset stretched her shadow very long.
A white cat with scars but firm eyes,
He embarked on a journey alone to fight for his family.
Her goal is clear.
Water! Food! Milk powder! Containers!
To survive,
For the little life waiting for her to return in the dim basement.
Bai Li's figure quickly shuttled through the shadows of the broken walls.
The newly acquired [Primary Danger Perception] was like an invisible film covering the surface of her consciousness.
It gave her a vague intuition about the malice of her surroundings.
At this moment, the feeling was calm, and there was no fatal threat locking onto her.
But that didn't make her relax.
Her target was water.
Plenty of relatively clean water.
Used to dissolve the precious pure crystal core,
It is used to make milk powder to feed the little ancestor, and also to clean and replenish the energy consumed by oneself.
She followed the vague impression of the city's water supply system in her memory,
Move toward possible large water storage facilities or partially broken water mains.
At the same time, her eyes were constantly searching among the ruins.
Bottled water?
It can be encountered by chance but not sought after.
But any container that can store water, such as a broken bucket, basin, or even a larger plastic shell, is a treasure!
She had two empty mineral water bottles in her mouth.
I picked this up on the way.
This is her only water storage tool at present.
Under its claws was a small plastic basin that it had dug out from the garbage dump. The edges were a little broken, but it was still relatively intact.
This was her biggest gain along the way.
Sudden!
A faint but clear sound of flowing water came into her sensitive ears!
Ding Dong! Ding Dong!
It sounds like water dripping onto something hard!
Bai Li's heart skipped a beat!
There is water!
She immediately adjusted her direction and sneaked towards the source of the sound silently.
Going around a half-collapsed wall,
The sight before her cheered her up!
In an abandoned small community park, at the edge of the long-dried fountain pool in the center, a broken metal water pipe is stubbornly spewing out a thin stream of water!
The water flow is not big, like a child peeing, but it is continuous!
The clear water falls to the bottom of the pool which is covered with moss and dirt.
It gathered into a small, turbid puddle.
Most importantly,
The scent of the water,
Although it has the smell of rust and earth, there is no obvious sense of corruption or pollution!
"Meow!"
Bai Li almost shouted out in excitement!
Found it!
She suppressed her excitement.
Look around vigilantly.
The park was in a mess, with the swing sets collapsed and the benches broken.
No signs of large monster activity have been found so far.
[Primary Danger Sense] did not send any strong warning.
Safety!
She no longer hesitated.
Holding a bottle and a small basin,
Carefully approach the broken pipe that is spraying water.
The water flow is a bit high.
She had to stand up and use her two front paws to barely aim the bottle into the water flow.
This posture made her unstable.
And the vulnerable abdomen is completely exposed.
She glanced around vigilantly while clumsily adjusting the position of the bottle mouth with her claws.
Clear water flows into the bottle, making a pleasant tinkling sound.
A bottle was quickly filled.
She put it down carefully and picked up the second one.
Just then!
An extremely faint but sharp buzzing sound pierced her [Primary Danger Sense] like a fine needle.
Danger!
From the air!
