Xiao Jin wasted no time. She quickly checked her equipment and, after confirming that she had no other items, headed deeper into the ruins.
She needs to find a relatively safe place to rest for a while.
After wandering through the ruins for about half an hour, Xiao Jin finally found a relatively intact convenience store. She carefully pushed open the door, and only went inside after confirming that there was no danger inside.
The convenience store was a mess; shelves were overturned and goods were scattered all over the floor. Xiao Jin quickly locked the door and then began searching for useful supplies.
"Food, water, bread, biscuits... pack all of these." Xiao Jin muttered to herself as she stuffed the supplies she found into her personal space.
Having absorbed a large number of crystal cores in the zombie world, especially the space-type one, Xiao Jin's ability core recovered considerably, and his spatial dimension expanded significantly.
Once the space became available, she felt an itch to fill it up.
So Xiao Jin decided to take this opportunity to collect as many supplies as possible.
Haha~ Zero-yuan purchase has begun.
Soon, Xiao Jin had emptied the convenience store of all its supplies. She left and continued searching the surrounding area.
Pharmacies, outdoor equipment stores, dried fruit shops, large supermarkets, and even bars.
Xiao Jin explored every place he could, and once inside, he swiftly and efficiently collected supplies. Of course, adhering to his consistent principle of leaving some room for others, Xiao Jin also left quite a bit for the native inhabitants.
Soon, Xiao Jin arrived at a residential area, where most of the supplies had already been collected.
She checked the time and realized that nearly two hours had passed, so she decided to leave and head in another direction.
Xiao Jin walked while thinking.
After this investigation, there was some good news as well.
That means the process of biological mutation in this world is not very fast, it should only take a few days, at most a week.
Just look at the supplies around you and you'll understand.
If several months, or even a year and a half had passed, there wouldn't be so many supplies left on the surface!
But there's another interesting problem: Xiao Jin has been walking for so long, yet he hasn't encountered a single NPC.
The vast city was like a ghost town, seemingly devoid of anything except the mutants and Xiao Jin.
Therefore, after thinking for a moment, Xiao Jin decisively headed towards the city center. In addition to the greater availability of supplies there, Xiao Jin also hoped to find more clues in the city center.
She had only walked a short distance when a huge explosion suddenly came from afar.
Xiao Jin stopped and looked up in the direction of the explosion. He saw a thick plume of smoke rising into the sky, indicating that something serious had happened.
"An explosion... Could it be another player?" Xiao Jin frowned, pondering to himself.
"Should we go take a look?" Xiao Jin hesitated for a moment, but ultimately decided to head to the explosion site.
She needs more information, and that might be a breakthrough.
At the same time, other players in the city also heard the explosion. Instantly, figures rushed towards the center of the blast.
Xiao Jin rushed toward the center of the explosion, carefully avoiding several groups of wandering mutated creatures along the way.
Although these creatures are not strong individually, once you get entangled with them, it can be quite a waste of time.
As Xiao Jin got closer to the epicenter of the explosion, he noticed that the surrounding buildings were gradually becoming intact, and more signs of battle appeared on the streets.
Clearly, a fierce battle once took place here.
"It seems I'm not the only one interested in explosions," Xiao Jin muttered to himself.
Xiao Jin did not approach rashly, but instead chose a tall building as an observation point. She quickly climbed to the roof, took out binoculars, and carefully observed the situation at the center of the explosion.
The explosion occurred near a large shopping mall, whose glass facade was shattered and thick smoke was billowing out from inside.
A large number of mutated creatures gathered around the mall, seemingly attracted by the explosion, and were rushing madly into the mall.
"What's in the mall?" Xiao Jin frowned.
She noticed that there seemed to be flickering lights inside the mall, and she could faintly hear human shouts.
"Could it be that the players are trapped inside?" Xiao Jin's heart skipped a beat.
If there are indeed players in the mall, they have likely found important supplies or triggered a hidden quest.
Xiao Jin preferred the latter point.
Just then, a familiar figure flashed through Xiao Jin's binoculars.
Upon closer inspection, she realized it was Gao Ya!
As expected of the famous big sister in the survival game, several players gathered around Gao Ya as soon as she entered the dungeon.
At that moment, he was leading his men in a fierce battle against mutated creatures outside the mall, clearly drawn there by the explosion.
"It's her... What a coincidence." This was the third time he had met Gao Ya.
Xiao Jin murmured to himself, quickly weighing the pros and cons in his mind.
She knew that Gao Ya was quite capable and had a good character. If she could cooperate with her, she might be able to get involved in this competition.
Just as Xiao Jin was hesitating, a violent tremor suddenly came from inside the mall. Immediately afterwards, a huge figure burst through the top wall of the mall and crashed heavily onto the street.
Xiao Jin narrowed her eyes as she made out the figure in front of her—it was a gigantic mutated creature, resembling a lizard but dozens of times larger than an ordinary lizard!
Its skin is dark red, its back is covered with sharp bone spurs, and its tail is like a steel whip, capable of smashing surrounding buildings to pieces with every swing.
"A BOSS-level creature!" This is definitely a high-level mutated animal.
Xiao Jin felt a chill run down her spine. She knew that this mutated creature was definitely not something an ordinary player could handle.
Sure enough, as the BOSS appeared, the players around the mall all showed expressions of horror.
Some, realizing they were outmatched, began to retreat quickly, trying to create distance between themselves and the BOSS.
But the BOSS was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye it caught up with several players, tearing them to pieces, and blood mist filled the sky.
"Ranged players, retreat and find sniping positions. Players with enhanced physical abilities, move forward. The rest of you, kite the BOSS!" Gao Ya shouted.
Immediately, the player squad she led also began to disperse.
Gao Ya: "Also, you noob, get out of here. If you get caught in the crossfire, I won't save you."
The surrounding players stirred slightly, and then several figures fled into the distance, clearly lacking confidence in themselves.
However, most players chose to stay.
Just then, a cute girl with pigtails suddenly approached Gao Ya and whispered something in Gao Ya's ear.
