"Don't ask such a presumptuous question." Gu Mian stood on the hillside, frowning as she looked at the pile of rocks below.
The jumbled rocks piled together formed a huge cave. The cave was deep and dark, and staring at it for a long time would send a chill down your spine.
"Um, sorry..." Xie Yu apologized softly. After speaking, she noticed that Gu Mian's gaze was fixed on one spot, so she looked over as well: "Is that a cave?"
Why does it look so eerie?
Gu Mian: "Let's go first and talk about it later."
This cave looks so eerie, there must be monsters inside. I don't have enough stamina, I'd better avoid it for now.
Gu Mian, carrying the child, quietly slipped away from the cave. Xie Yu followed behind, seemingly wanting to say something but stopping himself. The two circled around for a long time, finally rounding the cave—
“That is…” Xie Yu’s face showed a strange expression.
Ahead lay a large pile of stones, with numerous caves dotting the ground between them, resembling a honeycomb.
Before the words were finished, a series of rustling sounds came from inside the cave, and then one after another, dark figures jumped out of the cave and landed on the ground.
In the blink of an eye, a dozen or so black, hairy monsters appeared in front of the two of them.
[Black-skinned Zombie: Alien Creature (Tier 1), Health 100, Attack 20, Speed 10, Defense 10.]
What the heck is this black-skinned zombie...?
Did the black-skinned physical education student change?
Gu Mian twitched her lips, then turned and ran without saying a word.
Xie Yu was stunned for two seconds before she reacted and chased after him.
Following closely behind was a group of dark-skinned zombies with their feet off the ground, arms outstretched, hopping and skipping along.
Having barely rested for two minutes, Xie Yu was already panting heavily as she had to continue running.
"Phew... thankfully these zombies aren't very fast... phew... otherwise, if so many zombies caught up with us all at once... it would be really difficult to deal with... phew..."
As soon as the words were spoken, a zombie sprang up from the spot, leaped up, and jumped in front of them, blocking their path.
[Flying Zombie: Alien Creature (Tier 3), Health 100, Attack 20, Speed 10, Defense 100.]
Gu Mian: "..."
"Shut up."
Several willow-leaf knives shot out swiftly, landing on the flying zombie's chest with a clanging sound.
"Not even a scratch, is that reasonable?"
The flying zombie leaped up from the spot, opened its mouth to reveal sharp fangs, and pounced straight at Gu Mian.
Gu Mian dodged with a swift movement, then kicked the flying zombie in the chest, sending it flying backward.
The flying zombie drew a high arc in the air and crashed into the horde of black-skinned zombies following behind at an extremely fast speed.
With a dull thud, the flying zombie crashed to the ground, and the black-skinned zombie that was hit was instantly depleted of its health bar, dropping a bunch of supplies and disappearing from the spot.

...
? ? ?
Is this okay?
She killed three zombies in one go; is her stamina about to drop to zero?
Gu Mian was so startled that she quickly opened her personal panel and saw that her stamina was still 40.
What happened?
She killed three zombies and gained experience points, but her stamina wasn't deducted.
Could it be that because these three zombies were killed by flying zombies instead of by her weapon, her stamina wasn't deducted, but since she did kill them with flying zombies, it counts as experience points?
Is there such a good thing?
Gu Mian's eyes lit up as she watched the flying zombie struggle to stand up and pounce on her again, and she slowly curled the corners of her mouth.
Next.
Xie Yu saw Gu Mian using the third-tier flying zombie like a soccer ball, constantly kicking it into the group of black-skinned zombies. Each time it was kicked, several black-skinned zombies would be crushed to death, and a bunch of supplies would drop.
At first, she was a little confused as to why Gu Mian's stamina hadn't run out even after killing so many zombies.
Later she figured it out; it must be because zombies killed by flying zombies don't lose stamina.
Otherwise, it wouldn't explain why she initially tried to run away, but after accidentally killing a zombie once, she stopped running and instead continued to use flying zombies to kill other zombies.
Unexpectedly, this bug could be exploited in such a way. Xie Yu looked at the flying zombie that was kicked back into the zombie horde once again with a complicated expression.
This flying zombie's health bar has almost dropped; it'll probably be destroyed after a couple more kicks.

“Hu…Hu…”
Gu Mian took a couple of deep breaths, opened her backpack, took out a bottle of mineral water, unscrewed the cap, and gulped it all down in one go.
[Warning: Player's cleanliness level is below 50, increasing the chance of illness. Player has a cleaning item detected: soap. Use?]
Gu Mian: "Phew... Yes."
[Used, Cleanliness value +30.]
After resting for a while, Gu Mian opened her personal panel to check.
The cleanliness level has returned to 75, indicating a green healthy status.
My stamina has dropped to 40; I need to take a good rest now.
The satiety level has dropped to 50...
Gu Mian rummaged through her backpack and pulled out two glutinous rice balls. She took a bite and found the filling to be rich and savory.
"Could you help me pick up the loot I found, and I'll give you this rice ball as payment?"
She was tired after kicking the zombies for so long.
The fist-sized white rice ball is filled with a generous amount of diced salted pork, diced chicken, corn kernels, and diced cucumber. Its appealing color makes it look incredibly appetizing.
"No problem!" Xie Yu readily agreed, took the rice ball and handed it to her daughter, then climbed down the hillside to collect supplies.
Gu Mian glanced at the little girl sitting obediently to the side, munching on a rice ball, and then closed her eyes to rest.
Xie Yu, who had climbed down the hillside, was stunned for a moment when he saw the ground covered with supplies. How could there be so much...?
...
"2 bars of soap, 2 pork dumplings, 2 bottles of mineral water, 2 boxes of milk, 2 roasted sweet potatoes, 2 casual outfits, 2 rolls of toilet paper, and 2 reminder cards."
These are all the supplies on the ground; not a single one was lost, they're all here.
Xie Yu ate the last half of her daughter's rice ball, glancing enviously at the pile of supplies on the ground.
Wow, so much stuff!
I never expected that a dozen or so monsters could drop so many supplies, and they were all in double quantities! This is amazing!
"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Gu Mian stared at the newly dropped supplies, and soon a line of words appeared on the supplies.
[Pork Zongzi: Increases satiety by 10 after consumption.]
