【Congratulations, you have successfully evacuated to the safe house】
【You are now safe... although only temporarily】
…
This was the second time he evacuated from the danger zone, and the panic from yesterday was gone.
He knew he had to stay at the evacuation point for one minute before he could return to the safe house.
This time, Lu Chen patiently killed all the zombies that had refreshed.
Then, he took Sakurajima Mai and the two of them to the evacuation point and returned safely.
“Whew… this damned feeling of security.”
Even though the safe house in front of him was broken and small, Lu Chen still felt a strong sense of security upon returning.
His tightly-strung nerves finally relaxed without restraint, followed by a deep fatigue.
His mental strength had been exhausted from overuse of his abilities, making Lu Chen feel a little dizzy.
Fortunately, the number of zombies that had refreshed upon returning, although not small, were all ordinary zombies.
Even without using his abilities, he could easily take them down with the Glock pistol with its unlimited bullets.
“It’s not time to rest yet…”
He forced himself to wake up, rubbing his eyes as he sat down at the computer.
【Player "Feng Bin He Hua" has sent you a friend request】
【You have new friend information, please click to view】
There were several chat prompts on the screen, all from the two sisters who had returned to the safe house.
After accepting He Hua’s friend request, Lu Chen created a private chat room and pulled them in.
Lu Chen: “Everyone alright? Everything is normal here.”
Sakurajima Mai: “Same here, the evacuation was pretty calm this time.”
Lu Chen: “It’s natural to be a little unfamiliar the first time. You’ll get used to it after a few times.”
Feng Bin He Hua: “What are you saying to Mai-san?! That’s so dirty!”
Lu Chen: “…Miss, you’re just thinking too much, aren’t you?”
Sakurajima Mai: “He Hua… don’t think about anything strange, yesterday’s evacuation was really dangerous.”
Feng Bin He Hua: “Ah? Oh… I’m sorry, Mai-san.”
Although it was too late to cover up now.
Those words seemed to have exposed the yellow waste in this beautiful idol’s head.
“This kid…”
He shook his head helplessly, pondered for a moment, and brought the topic back to the right track.
“We reunited successfully today, but we wasted too much time traveling and didn’t collect much supplies.”
“Mai, are you still stocked up?”
Today’s biggest gains, besides the gear and copper coins obtained by killing zombies, were the two functional plugins.
Although in terms of value and potential, these two plugins were more important than a crate of canned goods…
But the abundance or lack of supplies was still a problem faced by all survivors.
“I’m okay.”
Soon, Sakurajima Mai sent back a message, seemingly very clear about the resources on hand.
“I’ll make it last for two or three days.”
“Two or three days?”
Lu Chen raised an eyebrow, puzzled.
“I remember you only took a few cans of fruit and vegetables back yesterday. That’s only enough for one day at most.”
“That’s why I said, ‘I’ll make it last’,”
The black-haired girl on the other side of the screen changed the subject.
“It’s He Hua… I’m a little worried about her.”
“It seems like she doesn’t have much supplies.”
During the heart-to-heart talk after the sisters reunited, Mai and He Hua naturally exchanged information about each other.
That’s probably when they found out about the situation.
“I, I’m okay, Mai-san don’t worry about me!”
Feng Bin He Hua quickly responded, but her stomach made an uncooperative “grrr” sound.
Even though the other two in the chat room couldn’t hear it, tears were still welling up in the golden-haired girl’s eyes.
As Mai said, Feng Bin He Hua’s safe house was truly bare.
Besides the new nurse uniform she brought back today, there were no new supplies.
“That’s why I said, why don’t you come to my safe house to get together,”
Lu Chen took the opportunity to mention the “meeting hall” and suggested.
“Think of it as a celebration for your sisters’ reunion. After the safe house is expanded, come over to my place for a meal… of course, it’s on me.”
“Meeting hall… so the safe house can be upgraded and expanded?”
Sakurajima Mai exclaimed curiously.
“Following you, I really get to see all kinds of new and interesting things.”
“I have no objection, He Hua should come too.”
“Ah? Oh… okay, Mai-san.”
Although Feng Bin He Hua didn’t want to go to a man’s room, she had to nod obediently since it was her sister’s suggestion.
“The expansion needs 2500 gear copper coins, right? Do we have enough?”
On the other side, Sakurajima Mai inquired about the feasibility of the expansion.
“If not, I have a few hundred copper coins here.”
“Enough, don’t forget I killed a lot of zombies.”
Lu Chen looked at the game currency balance on his wristwatch, the number of copper coins stopped at around 2700.
After the expansion, there would still be some copper coins left for turnover.
“Okay, I’ll wait for your notice after the expansion is complete.”
Sakurajima Mai suddenly sent a message to Lu Chen in private chat.
“You need to rest now. I’ll take care of He Hua. Just go to sleep.”
Seeing this suggestion filled with concern, Lu Chen’s heart warmed.
“Okay, that’s what I was going to do.”
After closing the chat room, Lu Chen took out the expansion blueprint that had been waiting for him, and used it directly.
【Do you want to pay 2500 gear copper coins to expand your safe house into a "Medium-sized Survivor Base"？】
“Survivor base… why is the name changing?”
Sleepiness came over him, Lu Chen didn’t think too much about it, and confirmed directly.
“Yes.”
The wristwatch emitted a series of gear interlocking sounds.
The number representing gear copper coins decreased frantically, eventually stopping at a little over two hundred.
【Safe house is under expansion… completion will take 6 hours】
【During this period, you will not be able to change the layout of the safe house, use the computer, or perform other operations】
“So the expansion isn’t completed in an instant… it’s good timing.”
Lu Chen yawned, casually clicked away the prompt message, and slumped onto the bed, finally falling into a deep sleep.
