Chapter 15 It's better to rely on yourself than others



After being moved to a different room, Liu Nian slept soundly until dawn without being disturbed.

After a quick wash, I took out some bread from my backpack for breakfast.

After finishing his meal, Liu Nian planned to search the area where these people lived to see what he could find.

Speaking of what I've gained, I suddenly remembered that I think I found a card last night.

Upon seeing the words on the card, Liu Nian stopped chewing.

This card has only one word.

【Certainly】

Note: Laozi, may your command be swiftly fulfilled!

Rule-based cards have the effect of forcibly immobilizing targets within a certain range in front of the player for three seconds.

Scope target? This is still a group effect.

"Defying the heavens," was Liu Nian's first impression.

The last time I saw this effect was in front of the TV, when Sun Wukong used it.

One challenge is knowing the extent of the attack range and whether it will indiscriminately attack friend or foe.

Used well, retreat can save your life, and advance can turn the tide.

No wonder that weirdo turned around back then. Thinking about it, Lu Fan's position at the time was probably by the bed, so the area wasn't too big.

Wait, that's not quite right. These cards are probably one-time use only, right? He probably didn't even test them, did he?

Only someone with a malfunctioning brain would experiment with these kinds of cards.

After throwing the waste packaging into the trash can, Liu Nian picked up the spear and walked out of the room.

Doors 706, 707, and 708 are open, and the two rooms inside clearly reflect the lifestyle of a single man, while one of them appears to be a couple's room.

After searching for a while, Liu Nian found no useful supplies and shook his head in disappointment.

As for the other rooms, Liu Nian lost the desire to explore them.

People who come to hotels are either doing unspeakable things or on business trips; neither of them can carry many useful supplies.

As for the hotel itself, it didn't even have enough bottled water, so what could they expect? Of course, it's also possible that they took everything.

After all, Liu Nian had confirmed that there was no other key to room 808 in the lobby. They should have a spare key, so it made sense that they could take the supplies from other rooms.

After leaving the hotel, we headed west.

Having reached the end, there were no more secluded paths nearby, so it seemed I had no choice but to walk through the bustling streets.

Liu Nian bought a hoodie for free at one of the luxury stores, and then covered herself up completely with a breathable face towel.

After tidying myself up in front of the mirror, I instantly gave off a "keep away" vibe.

"Hey, look, there's a big shot outside!" A woman pointed at Liu Nian and shouted into a building next to the street.

"Grandma, keep your voice down. Don't attract those infected people here." A man wearing a pink apron ran out of the house in response, seemingly cooking.

"Where? Where?" The man craned his neck to get closer to the woman.

"Look there, he's amazing! He killed an infected person with a single shot. Should we ask him for help?" The woman cupped the face of the man called Big Head in her hands and turned him toward the street.

Big Head followed the woman's gaze.

A man dressed in black appeared on the street and stabbed an infected person who had surrounded him, killing him instantly.

Behind the man, two skeletons and ghouls were attacking an infected person who was trying to pounce on him from the left.

"What... is this? I can do it too!" Big Head was clearly a little unsure of himself, and his voice became much softer.

"Forget it, look how well he's covered up in the middle of summer, he obviously doesn't want to be recognized. Don't flatter yourself, okay?"

"Besides, if he really comes to help, how will we repay him? We only have two days' worth of food left," the man rationally analyzed to the woman.

"Money? It's not as useful as toilet paper these days."

Upon hearing Da Tou's analysis, the woman's excited light faded, and she looked dejected. But in an instant, she turned to look at the man with admiration and said, "You're right, honey. How are you so amazing?"

"No, no, no, this is just a very simple principle." Big Head shook his head modestly, but the upturned corners of his mouth revealed his true intentions.

Seeing the smile on Big Head's face, the woman said suspiciously, "You're not saying this on purpose because you're worried that I've fallen for him and won't want you anymore, are you?"

"Hahahaha." Big Head laughed in anger, pinching the woman's waistline with one hand. "There's a limit to narcissism, okay? Putting aside whether he's even a man, what would he see in you? Your fat? Hmm?"

Looking at the mischievous hand on her waist, the woman suddenly deflated like a punctured balloon and said dejectedly, "That's true."

In the blink of an eye, she turned fierce again, swatting away the hand on her waist: "So you really do dislike me because I'm fat, you don't love me anymore."

Big Head was really stumped after hearing this: "Grandma, how could I dare? Be good, stop messing around, I made your favorite braised pork."

"Oh dear, I forgot to turn off the fire, the meat is going to burn."

The man suddenly remembered the food cooking on the stove and rushed to the kitchen.

Seeing the man leave in such a disheveled state, the woman felt a warmth in her heart. With such a husband, what more could a woman ask for?

After thinking it over, he closed the window and refused to look at Liu Nian again.

"Wait for me, I'll help too!" The woman rushed into the kitchen.

Unfortunately, not everyone understands such a simple principle.

In a building on the other side of the street, a woman opened a window and shouted loudly in Liu Nian's direction: "Dear, please come and save me, I'm so scared!"

Liu Nian turned her head to look at the woman with a puzzled expression. After confirming that she was being called, she remained silent for a few seconds before deciding to leave.

It wasn't that Liu Nian was cold-blooded; faced with the sudden scream, the infected on the street immediately surged into the building where the woman was.

Looking at the completely blocked building, Liu Nian glanced at the woman with pity, ignored her, and continued walking forward.

The woman inside the building had never suffered such humiliation. As a female live streamer with hundreds of thousands of followers, she was always greeted with smiles wherever she went, and countless men would cry and beg for her contact information. Now, she was being ignored by someone.

"Is he even a man?" the woman suddenly became furious.

She grabbed the glass mirror from the dressing table and threw it into the street.

Clang!

The sound of shattering glass rang out behind Liu Nian.

Being so far away, it obviously wouldn't hit anyone, but it successfully caught Liu Nian's attention.

With half her body leaning out of the window, the woman excitedly said to Liu Nian, "Come save me! If you save me, I can give you a chance to pursue me."

"Um, I don't think it's necessary, is it? Your foundation is coming off so fast." Liu Nian held back her words.

After all, she has drawn away all the infected people on the street, so there is no need to provoke her anymore. May she live a long and peaceful life. Goodbye!

Seeing Liu Nian turn and leave again, the woman angrily began to curse.

The sound actually drowned out the sound of the infected person banging on the door.

Clang

The security door was smashed and fell down, but the woman, completely unaware of the danger, continued to chatter on.

The woman only came to her senses when the room door was kicked open.

Without giving the woman time to react, the infected person tackled her to the ground in an instant.

A piercing scream rang out.

Liu Nian paused upon hearing the voice, but ultimately said nothing, simply quickening her pace and leaving the deserted street.
