Later along the way, sporadic infected individuals appeared, but they posed no threat to Liu Nian.
Because he was going to the neighborhood today, Liu Nian planned to upgrade his Summon Skeleton to level four.
Level 4 requires 50 summons to upgrade, and I have successfully summoned 32 times yesterday.
Liu Nian's magic value has now exceeded 600, making leveling up a breeze.
After a series of system notifications, the infected person who collapsed on the roadside became the lucky one.
The level four skeleton soul fire is dark green, so intense it seems to leap out of its eye sockets.
Looking down, the chest was clad in a light armor of unknown material, finally no longer just a pale skeleton.
Hmm, it's best to be careful. Being naked is indecent!
Comparing the skeletons summoned by Tiffany, it was discovered that her summoning level was likely higher than his own.
Because the skeletons she summoned were holding rectangular shields, while the skeletons she summoned herself were holding round shields.
I glanced at the panel; the next upgrade would require 100 experience points.
"A thousand magic points isn't much," Liu Nian thought slyly.
It takes 1,000 mana points to level up a ghoul to level four, which is enough to drain Liu Nian's daily mana reserves.
These next two days, prioritize upgrading the ghouls and further enhance their attack power.
Nine skeletons led the way; with such a spectacle, I have to ask, "Who else is there?"
When they passed by the ice cream shop, the bodies of Lin Bao and his group were eaten clean by the early-rising infected, leaving only a mutilated skeleton.
Liu Nian didn't feel much sympathy for Lin Bao. If Lin Bao hadn't chosen the wrong opponent, he and Lin Nian would never have had a conflict.
The roulette wheel in the ice cream shop has long since disappeared; it's unclear whether it had a time limit or simply disappeared after you'd used up everything on it.
Liu Nian felt a little regretful, as she couldn't spend the two hundred dollars in her pocket.
The rest of the journey was uneventful, and I arrived home safely.
They hammered several nails into a wall early on and hung the captured guns on it, which surprisingly covered almost half the wall.
Liu Nian looked at the wall in front of her with a sense of pride.
As expected, it's all about hard work and arson! Ugh... it's all about getting rich through hard work!
After unloading the ammunition and guns, he considered what to take with him on a transaction.
Shotguns are not allowed; if someone with sharp eyes spots them, things could get messy.
The cigarette in his pocket had already been crushed in the battle at the mall and was casually tossed onto the table by Liu Nian.
When they run out of cigarettes in the future, they won't care about these details; they'll save money wherever they can.
After much deliberation, he slung the brand-new M19 over his shoulder and tucked the Colt into his waistband.
He prepared two magazines for each person, and just to be on the safe side, he took a backpack full of food and went out again.
As for the spears, they weren't used to fight infected people; they were kept at home.
Liu Nian could only carry one of his primary weapons, a gun and a spear, otherwise he wouldn't know what to hold in his hands.
After taking down an infected person who didn't notice anything on the street, the residential area became clearly visible.
However, the neighborhood looks a bit dilapidated this time.
The "meteor" from the last update reached this area, creating several huge gaps in the high wall.
A meteorite struck the center of the high wall without breaking through it, but it created a deep crater in the wall. The edges of the crater cracked and spread out like a spider web.
Upon arriving at the entrance of the residential area, he was questioned as usual. Liu Nian was no longer the same Liu Nian he once was. He made up a random excuse, and the other side opened the gate to let him in.
This time, the guards at the entrance of the residential area were not the same two as before. These two were young and carried self-contained firearms.
They skillfully accepted the cigarette Liu Nian offered, and the wariness in their eyes lessened.
Looking at the rifle hanging on Liu Nian's shoulder, the young man who opened the door revealed a hint of envy.
Perhaps thinking Liu Nian was short of ammunition, the taller young man chimed in enthusiastically, "There are plenty of weapons on the black market lately, as long as the price is right."
This information is very important, especially after suffering a great loss at Lin Long's hands.
Liu Nian immediately thought of the sonic boom grenade, wondering if it was a card or a military weapon.
If you have hand grenades and stun grenades, you should also prepare a few yourself.
However, there were no other shock bombs in Lin Long's room; it felt like they were given by a card.
After all, the nearly one minute of blindness and dizziness left a lasting impression on Liu Nian.
However, the most important thing is to see a doctor first.
"Ouch, my old back!" Just mentioning my back makes it ache again. How dramatic.
The room was still filled with flowers, and Liu Nian recognized Li Sha at a glance and chose her directly.
We've already agreed on a price, but what price can we negotiate when my back is completely broken? Don't get the wrong idea!
Li Sha led Liu Nian toward the hospital with practiced ease.
I encountered significantly fewer people along the way than last time.
Li Sha seemed to have guessed what Liu Nian was thinking and took the initiative to speak: "Recently, we have encountered some special infected people, and the guards have suffered heavy casualties."
“Those lone wolf survivors rarely come here anymore.”
With fewer people, the competition becomes more intense.
No wonder she's asking for such a low price now. Let me reiterate that I'm a decent person, you should trust me!
"Be careful, there have been a lot of disappearances in the neighborhood lately!" Li Sha whispered mysteriously in Liu Nian's ear when they were all alone.
"Oh? Is that so?"
"Yes, it's absolutely true. The guards on night duty often disappear without a trace."
“Some people in the neighborhood are saying with certainty that they have discovered a huge shadow.”
The Spider Queen, it must be her, she's so close!
Having become acquainted, Liu Nian advised Li Sha not to go out at night.
Li Sha did most of the talking the rest of the way, while Liu Nian casually chimed in with a few words.
The atmosphere wasn't too awkward.
This is a temporary hospital converted from a residential house, and it's full of patients.
The pungent smell of disinfectant mingled with the sound of the door opening.
Li Sha led Liu Nian directly to one of the doors. The door was open, and inside, a female doctor was skillfully bandaging a patient's wound.
Seeing that the doctor was busy, Liu Nian consciously leaned against the wall and waited.
Li Sha twisted her body as she entered the room and whispered something in the doctor's ear.
He didn't know what he said, but the doctor glanced in his direction and then nodded.
"You're next," Li Sha said casually as she came out.
Looking at the long line in front of the door, Liu Nian asked uncertainly, "Are you serious?"
Other patients' family members seemed to have heard this and turned to look, some of them showing resentment.
But upon seeing the thing on Liu Nian's body, he silently turned his head away.
Privileges still exist even in the apocalypse!
Since Li Sha would no longer be needed, she politely offered to leave.
Liu Nian understood her unspoken meaning, readily opened his backpack, pulled out more supplies than the agreed price, and stuffed them into her hand.
In return for her kindness, she is capable and sensible, and most importantly, she can save him time, so it is only right that she gives him more.
Taking advantage of the break, Liu Nian strolled around casually.
There was one doctor and three nurses. It was clear that the nurses were temporary and not very experienced.
After seeing Li Sha off, it was soon Liu Nian's turn to see a doctor.
"Lie down"
The doctor's clear, slightly weary voice came through.
Looking at the bed next to the doctor, Liu Nian hesitated for a moment before lying down.
Sure enough, no matter what, I still hate going to the hospital.
After briefly explaining the condition, the doctor gently pressed on Liu Nian's abdomen.
Feeling the cold fingers gently tracing across her stomach, Liu Nian winced in pain.
Seeing Liu Nian frown, the doctor bent down and placed his head on Liu Nian's abdomen to listen to something.
Wearing a mask, I couldn't see the doctor's facial expression, but I could see the seriousness in his eyes.
Liu Nian felt a little uneasy. Could it be serious?
"An abdominal muscle tear should heal with a few days of rest. Remember to avoid strenuous exercise. If possible, you can take nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs."
The doctor skillfully applied the bandage while giving instructions.
"Thank you, doctor. How do I pay?"
"Go find the nurse next door, next patient."
Okay, I understand, business is busy.
As Liu Nian walked into the next room, a nurse saw her finish her work and quickly asked how much it would cost.
"Any supplies will do?" Liu Nian was a little surprised to hear the nurse's answer.
"Anyway, there's no extra medical care available. There's not much we can do for serious illnesses, so we can only leave it to fate. For minor illnesses, we can help as much as we can!" The nurse wiped the sweat from her forehead and said matter-of-factly.
"Most of the people who come here for medical treatment are from families with limited financial means and don't have much to offer."
"Dr. Wu refused their solicitations several times. If it weren't for the protection money, he probably would have charged less."
"Dr. Wu said that it's only right to help each other in the apocalypse."
After receiving an affirmative answer from the nurse, Liu Nian placed her backpack on the table in front of her.
"Let's pick the ones you can actually use."
The nurse was clearly a little surprised, as she rarely encountered such a patient, but she quickly regained her composure.
After rummaging through the bag for a while, Liu Nian noticed that she was clearly swallowing, but she still only took out a bag of cookies: "Do you think this is okay?"
Liu Nian did not answer, but left a bottle of water and a bag of bread, and then dumped everything in the bag onto the table.
He spoke softly, under the nurse's blank stare: "It was a gift."
