Lin Hao walked in front. Although he was carrying a lot of things, he was still constantly observing the situation in order to protect Ning Yu.

I avoided all the zombies on the road that I could.

It is obvious that this is not the first time Lin Hao has taken this route.

Ning Yu followed closely behind him, carrying a backpack full of meat and vegetables.

She clicked on the system panel and came to [This Week's Specials].

I wanted to exchange the scarlet blade in the store just now, but was interrupted by Lin Hao.

Ning Yu immediately clicked on the redemption button.

My points dropped from 3120 to only 120 points.

There is a new item in the inventory: [Scarlet War Blade (Enchanted)].

Ning Yu called out softly, and felt her hand sink.

The scarlet battle blade appeared in her hand.

This Tang sword looks even better in my hand than in the system preview.

The whole body was crimson as if it was dyed with blood. I don't know how many people died under this knife.

The size seems to have been scaled to a certain extent, as if it has automatically adapted to its own body shape.

Ning Yu held it just right for waving it around.

More importantly, Ning Yu felt the effect of the enchantment: Fighting Will (Physical Strength +1, Mental Strength +1).

Not only do I feel that my physical fitness has improved.

The effect of mental power +1 is also very intuitive: a cool feeling is transmitted into Ning Yu's body through the handle of the knife.

She felt her mind was clear, with an indescribable sense of clarity.

It was like having a very satisfying sleep, then waking up to have a glass of ice mint water, which was very refreshing.

I didn't expect the effect of increasing mental strength would be so good.

My five senses seem to be sharper than before, and I can see farther and hear more clearly.

And an inch longer, an inch stronger.

A longer blade than a dagger means that you can gain a distance advantage in close-range slashing.

Killing zombies will be easier.

It’s a really good weapon, well worth the original price of 15,000 points.

"It's right in front. My home is on the 5th floor."

Lin Hao pointed to a residential building in front, as if he was going to turn back and explain the direction to her.

Ning Yu's mind moved, and the scarlet blade in her hand disappeared and was put into the system's space.

Following the direction of Lin Hao's finger, Ning Yu saw a 6-story residential building.

That should be Lin Hao's home.

Ning Yu nodded and followed him closely.

After entering this community, you can see a lot of zombie corpses that have been hacked to death piled together.

It seems that the people here have already been organized to some extent.

But why didn't they go out together to explore and find supplies? Ning Yu was a little puzzled by Lin Hao's behavior of going out alone to look for meat.

Arriving on the 5th floor, Lin Hao opened the door and invited Ning Yu in.

The whole house is not big, probably less than one hundred square meters.

The decoration is also very new, a bit like a new house that has just been delivered, and the off-white wallpaper makes people feel very warm.

Let Ning Yu sit down casually, and Lin Hao went into the house to look for food.

Put all the fresh ingredients on the dining table first.

Ning Yu found a stool and sat next to the dining table.

Soon, several bags of snacks were taken out. Lin Hao said, "You must be starving. Eat as much as you want. I have some more in stock."

However, Ning Yu actually saw that Lin Hao's so-called inventory might just be a cardboard box.

I'm afraid he wouldn't even be willing to eat it himself, yet he gave her so much at once.

Ning Yu said thank you sweetly, but did not eat the snacks that Lin Hao handed over.

The other party didn't show any abnormality, so he should be a goody-goody.

But this doesn't mean that she will let down her guard.

Ning Yu looked around.

In the center of the living room hangs a wedding photo with an ornate metal border.

The groom above is Lin Hao, and the bride is a beautiful girl who looks very compatible with Lin Hao and should be his wife.

The two of them smiled very happily and snuggled together tightly.

The photos are also very new, I'm afraid the two have just gotten married not long ago.

Seeing that Lin Hao was about to ask why he didn't eat, Ning Yu directly changed the subject and said, "Brother, where is the beautiful sister in the photo?"

Lin Hao was suddenly asked, and was stunned for a moment, then he showed an awkward and bitter smile:

"She died. She was bitten by a monster on the day of the apocalypse."

Lin Hao didn't use any childish lies like "my sister went to a faraway place" to get rid of Ning Yu.

After all, Ning Yu looks like she is at least a junior high school student.

Ning Yu immediately showed an apologetic expression:

"Oh, sorry."

Lin Hao just shook his head indifferently and said:

"It's okay, it's over."

"In a world like this, maybe living is actually a torture."

Then he suddenly realized that he shouldn't say such words to a little girl, and hurriedly said: "Ah, brother said some strange things, don't mind it."

Of course Ning Yu understood what "living is torture" meant.

But on the surface, she just showed a half-understood look and didn't say anything.

After a while, he continued to ask: "Did everyone unite to clear out the monsters in this community?"

Ning Yu always felt that something was wrong.

Hearing this question, Lin Hao's face looked a little strange, and he said slowly:

"Well, there is a group of very powerful guys, with weapons and a lot of people."

"They cleared the entire neighborhood of monsters."

"However, if you happen to run into them, you must stay away from them. They are not good people."

He didn't continue, but Ning Yu had already guessed it vaguely.

Living in a community that is dominated and controlled by someone probably comes at a price.

"Have some snacks. You're welcome. Brother still has plenty."

Lin Hao gave another friendly smile and ignored Ning Yu.

I got up and packed up the several large bags of food I had just brought back.

Ning Yu pretended to eat snacks, but actually secretly moved them to a hidden place.

Just at this moment, there was a rough knock on the door outside.

"Open the door! Open the door for me!"

It was a rough man's voice.

Lin Hao frowned and said to Ning Yu in a serious tone, "Little sister, go hide in the study first. No matter what happens or what noise you hear, don't come out."

Ning Yu nodded seriously and walked towards the study.

I'm afraid these are some uninvited guests.

She walked quickly into the study and glanced at the books on the bookshelf.

There are many professional books on biology and medicine, as well as some obscure books on humanities and philosophy.

It seems that Lin Hao has a high level of education, which matches his gentle appearance with glasses.

And Lin Hao had already walked to the door.
