Night soon fell.
They spent some time finding an area with fewer monsters and eliminated a few wandering monsters before hiding in a small room.
“I should be able to spend the night peacefully.”
Zhou Chen was sitting on a chair in the dark room, eating bread slices from the cupboard.
He made this judgment mainly because they had cleared the surrounding monsters. The feedback from the Bloodthirst passive skill also indicated that there were no monsters within 300 meters. As long as they hid well, there was a high chance that they would not be found by the monsters in the distance.
The refined young man was sitting by the wall, also slowly eating bread slices. He seemed to be in a bad mood due to the tall girl’s death and spoke much less.
However, this was a good thing. They had to be quiet to hide properly.
Fifteen minutes later, Zhou Chen, who had finished eating the bread slices, sensed a monster flying towards them through the Bloodthirst passive skill and immediately became alert.
‘It should only be passing by, it might not have found us.’
He thought to himself.
However, a few seconds later, he sensed that the monster was getting closer and closer towards his location. It had a very strong sense of goal.
“We’re exposed. Prepare yourself.”
Seeing this, Zhou Chen stopped having any illusions. He opened the window and jumped out under the moonlight. The refined young man quickly followed.
They had to leave because they did not want to fight the monsters in the room. That would easily cause the building to collapse and cause unnecessary trouble.
A few seconds later, Zhou Chen saw with his Dark Vision that the newcomer was a three-headed monster that looked like a strange bird. It flew straight at them, who were hiding in an abandoned carriage. One of the three heads spewed some blood-red gas at them.
It really locked onto us. Does it have any perception ability?’
Zhou Chen thought to himself as he jumped out of the carriage to avoid the strange bird’s attack.
Then, he activated his Windrun skill and flew towards the strange bird. He stabbed it with the spear, making the strange bird cry out.
The refined young man on the ground also attacked. He took out a staff and fired a ball of frost at the strange bird’s wings. The bird could not keep on flying and fell to the ground.
Under the cooperation of the two, the monster’s heads were smashed into pieces within a short period.
“We can’t stay here anymore. There are many monsters approaching.”
After killing the monsters, not only did Zhou Chen not obtain a passive skill, but he also sensed that many monsters wandering in the distance had been attracted by the commotion just now.
“Let’s continue searching for a hiding place.”
At this moment, Zhou Chen had decided to adopt a conservative strategy. He would hide if he could and would not take the initiative to hunt monsters unless the monsters were too tempting.
“No need.”
However, the refined young man replied to him softly under the moonlight.
“Let’s split up. I don’t want to hurt anyone anymore.”
He sighed slightly.
“I will tell you the truth, the talent the system gave me has to do with bad luck. Those who get close to me can easily become unlucky. I hope we won’t meet again.”
With that said, he decisively left and quickly disappeared around the nearby street corner.
“???”
Zhou Chen was stunned by the young man’s words. As he quickly fled from this area, he recalled his previous experience and realized that the man’s words might hold some truth.
“But how could the earthquake and the dark red cracks be caused by him? This is a little ridiculous. He shouldn’t be that powerful…”
After some more pondering, he felt that such a thought was too crude and far-fetched. It did not make sense.
“Forget it, I just need to survive tonight.”
If he could not figure it out, he would not waste time on it. He focused on the most important thing at hand. This was what he usually did.
Since he would become unlucky if he teamed up with the refined young man, Zhou Chen ignored him and continued on his own.
After a while, Zhou Chen found a secluded building in a remote street filled with the smell of blood. There were a few monsters moving around this building. After observing for a while, he determined that they could not discover him and hid inside.
Although Zhou Chen did not find food in the room he entered, no monsters had noticed him. The monsters that he occasionally sensed with the Bloodthirst passive skill only happened to wander past this area.
Zhou Chen even gradually fell asleep, recovering stamina and energy.
The night passed calmly. When the morning sun shone through the gap in the window, he woke up from his sleep and walked out.
“The Survival mission is about to end. I have to hurry.”
Zhou Chen wanted to get rid of the gold coins in his hand. He still had dozens of gold coins left.
“According to my observations yesterday, it’s very difficult to buy anything in Red Valley City now. If I can’t take these gold coins with me, I’ll just bury them.”
Zhou Chen thought for a moment and planned to bury the gold coins somewhere because he had seen someone mention on the system forum that some dungeons could be entered by Survivors several times. When you planted a seed in the dungeon’s ground, you might find a large tree the next time you entered the dungeon.
After casually finding a muddy empty area in the deserted street, Zhou Chen took out the ax and began to dig a pit. He buried his gold coins in it and filled it up. Then, he made a simple wish.
“My requirements aren’t high. If I can come again, I hope your number increases by ten times.”
However, just as he was stepping on the spot where the gold coins were buried, a tall figure with long silver hair appeared near him.
“I’ve finally found you!”
It was Vera. She jumped off the roof of a building and walked towards Zhou Chen.
“What are you doing? Is there something down there?”
Looking at Zhou Chen’s gradually stopping movements and strange expression, she tilted her head slightly and asked puzzledly.
“Cough cough, why are you looking for me?”
Zhou Chen was speechless. He had checked earlier that there was no one else in the area through the Bloodthirst passive skill. He did not expect Vera to suddenly appear and intrude.
“I want to invite you to join my team. It’s best if you can bring in your two friends as well. The human world needs us to contribute our strength. Of course, the reward will be good. It will definitely satisfy you.”
Vera looked at Zhou Chen and said seriously.
