Chapter 112 Zombie Siege (5) - Shared Skills
Ning Shu reflected on himself. Although stockpiling supplies after entering the dungeon was important, he should also arm himself with items as soon as possible.
What if I fail because of laziness? Wouldn't that be a loss? I must reflect on myself!
Cheng Chuan looked at Ning Shu, first shaking his head and then nodding, as if he was thinking about something.
Thinking that the other party was sharing skills with him at this point, he guessed that they didn't want to do it themselves, so he silently took the initiative to dig the hole.
Cheng Chuan took a look and noticed that the system gave him a prompt when he activated the skill.
[Hello player, we have detected that you and other players share talent skills. There are currently two skills that can be triggered. Since this is your first time using this feature, the following is an introduction to their use.]
Your own innate skill is named "Sandstorm Transformation," and your shared innate skill is named "Sky-Splitting Strike." Simply recite the corresponding skill name when activating it. That concludes the introduction.
Cheng Chuan naturally chose the latter, and then felt his hands getting slightly warm. He immediately started digging a hole.
After Ning Shu finished reflecting on her actions, she discovered that Cheng Chuan had actually gone to dig a hole himself. It seemed that the prop had worked, so she also activated her skill.
Similarly, she received an introduction from the system, and after making her selections, she successfully turned into sand.
Ning Shu swirled around the area like a mini tornado, enveloped in sand, and the feeling was incredibly exhilarating. To test her attack power, she even uprooted a nearby tree.
After she returned to her original form, she didn't feel so good anymore because of the aftereffects. She felt a strange, indescribable tingling sensation all over her body.
That feeling was a bit unfamiliar, and it made me wonder why it felt a bit like something that was rated 18+.
Ning Shu secretly glanced at Cheng Chuan. Although she hadn't experienced it herself, she had heard of it.
She couldn't find any words to describe her current feelings.
Based on her experience using skills, the longer a skill is used, the greater the side effects. So wouldn't he be... in that state all the time?
This discovery was quite remarkable, and Ning Shu felt her face flush slightly.
At this moment, Cheng Chuan had also dug the pit, and then he felt the lingering "scratching sensation" on his hands, which, more importantly, evoked a disgusting feeling in his mind.
Is this a side effect of Ning Shu's skills?
Cheng Chuan felt that the aftereffects were quite complicated, and he couldn't help but glance at Ning Shu.
Although their eyes did not meet, they both seemed to have discovered a tremendous secret about each other, and remained silent without saying a word.
Both of them developed the impression that the other was "very tolerant".
Ning Shu felt that sharing skills was risky, and decided not to do such things again unless... absolutely necessary.
After Cheng Chuan finished digging the pit, he and Wu Yi moved the gasoline cans from the truck into the pit and then filled it back with soil.
"That's good. Don't worry about the gasoline causing an explosion. You can come and get more when you run out of gas," Cheng Chuan explained, and Ning Shu nodded.
After returning to the villa, Ning Shu and the others saw Fang Hong's parents.
A middle-aged couple appeared to be physically fine, but their complexions were pale, likely due to shock.
Fang's parents were initially wary of these strangers, but they relaxed their guard after hearing Fang Hong's explanation.
Fang Hong was clever; he didn't mention that he had been robbed, but only said that he met them during the zombie outbreak and was taken care of by them.
Cheng Chuan was cautious and insisted on checking their bodies for injuries before allowing them to stay in the villa, which naturally displeased Fang Hong.
But after thinking it over, I agreed, since it would be dangerous for everyone if my parents were to get hurt.
Cheng Chuan and Ning Shu conducted physical examinations on the other party's parents and only allowed them to stay after confirming that no external injuries were found.
Cheng Chuan asked everyone who was free to move supplies onto the truck, and Fang's parents were also required to do so.
After all, this is the way of the world; no one can have special treatment, not even if they have money.
Cheng Chuan was discussing something with the driver. After agreeing to help, the driver realized something was wrong halfway through the journey and, no longer wanting to earn those tens of thousands of yuan, decided to leave.
However, Cheng Chuan's reasoning convinced him that the world was in chaos, and even if the driver found his family alone, it would be difficult for him to survive.
Why not do some work for them? After you're done, Cheng Chuan promises to help you find your family and bring them to the villa.
Cheng Chuan had already planned to establish a survival zone based in the villa. Now that the driver had completed his mission, he came to Cheng Chuan to fulfill his promise.
Cheng Chuan planned to drive his SUV and a driver out to find his family, leaving Ning Shu in charge of the overall situation.
After Ning Shu understood Cheng Chuan's plan, she let him get busy while she had Wu Yi and the others move the supplies into the villa.
Ning Shu observed the situation in the other villas, where people were also active.
Seeing shadowy figures moving around in the windows of some villas, she guessed that they were probably observing her situation, and her heart sank.
Her supplies were likely to be targeted, so after thinking about it, she decided to do something while the communication base station was still operational.
She called Fang Hong over and asked him to bring over one of her parents' cell phones so she could contact Cheng Chuan.
Fang Hong was very obedient, and Ning Shu successfully contacted Cheng Chuan after getting the phone:
"Cheng Chuan, when you come back, try to get some weapons. Our villa was in such a big commotion today, we're probably being watched."
Ning Shu knew that Cheng Chuan would understand her meaning without her having to say anything more.
Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, Cheng Chuan replied with an "okay" and hung up the phone.
Players don't need weapons; these weapons are for NPCs.
After all, Ning Shu and the others will definitely need to go out and do missions continuously, so the villa will have to be guarded by the NPCs themselves.
Ning Shu told Wu Yi to be vigilant while moving things, while she wandered around the villa area with paper and pen, mainly to draw a map of the villas in the area.
She started drawing from the villa where she was, marking the number of each villa, and even made a point of observing the windows.
Windows that are tightly closed usually indicate that someone is there. Although it's possible that some homeowners close the curtains before leaving, it's best to assume someone is there as a precaution.
She would observe the other curtains for a while longer to determine if anyone was inside before making a record.
After going around in this way, there are a total of 50 villas in this villa area.
Ning Shu estimated that there were about 500 people here, based on the assumption that there were 10 people in each villa. She noted this down.
Her trip took quite a while. Wu Yi had already finished his work. He moved the truck a little next to the villa and then removed the car keys.
It was almost dark by then, after all, he had been busy for almost a whole day, and apart from water, they hadn't had a proper meal all day.
