thefictionvixens Chapter 4 Train, Cave, Reward
Chapter 4 Train, Cave, Reward
That night, the blood-red rain fell incessantly, but inside the villa it was warm and cozy.
In his dream, Han Yu was driving a train when he discovered an extremely narrow tunnel between two mountain ridges.
Just as the train was having trouble moving, suddenly, a horde of zombies appeared behind them, chasing after them.
Seeing that he was about to be devoured by zombies, Han Yu had no other choice but to speed up and rush towards the cave, forcing his way inside...
After he rushed into the cave, he discovered that it was a dead end.
As more zombies entered, Han Yu died on the spot, his blood splattering on the ground...
"Ahhhhh!"
Han Yu woke up from his dream with a start, feeling extremely frightened.
"Master, what's wrong?"
A pair of delicate hands climbed up her shoulders, and Jian Chun pressed herself against Han Yu's back, speaking softly.
"It's nothing, I just had a nightmare."
Han Yu got dressed and got out of bed without the slightest hesitation.
"Come down for lunch in a bit, then get back to work."
"Oh, I still have to work? I don't want to!" Jian Chun said coquettishly. "My legs still hurt, I can't walk. Can you bring me my food?"
Recalling the madness of last night, Han Yu didn't say much, just nodded and said, "Come down and eat by yourself, you don't have to do any work."
After saying that, he went downstairs.
Jian Chun sat alone on the big bed, looking at the bright red stain beside her, and a strange emotion welled up in her heart.
How did I become this kind of person? For a little food, I actually... I actually betrayed...
As I thought about it, tears involuntarily streamed down my face.
……
Downstairs, Han Yu sat on the sofa.
【ding dong】
[Mission accomplished; one Grade A tenant successfully secured]
[Gained Sunlight, 50]
"Supply points? What are they for?"
Just as he was wondering what Han Yu meant, the system seemed to understand him, and a long list of explanations appeared in his mind.
"My goodness, this is so long, who can finish reading it?"
However, Han Yu still read it word by word and roughly understood its meaning.
In short, a supply shop inexplicably appeared in the system, mainly selling weapons and various materials, with sunlight as the currency.
Han Yu's task was equally simple: purchase supplies from the store, upgrade the villa's defenses, and thus withstand the zombie horde's attack, protecting himself and the beautiful female tenants in the villa.
Upon opening the supply shop, the prices of various supplies seemed reasonable.
Defensive supplies are slightly cheaper, mostly in the single digits. For example, a steel spiked net costs 5 sun.
Offensive supplies are more expensive, mostly in the double digits. For example, a basic automatic crossbow costs 12 suns per unit.
The detection and reconnaissance supplies are ridiculously expensive, often costing hundreds or even thousands of points. For example, a reconnaissance drone is priced at 150 suns, far exceeding Han Yu's affordability.
Based on this calculation, at least three people need to be recruited in order to purchase the reconnaissance drone in full.
"This is a bit too difficult," Han Yu muttered to himself.
[Warning: The first wave of zombies will arrive tomorrow. Please prepare in advance to avoid having your brains eaten.]
[PS: This notification is a beginner's bonus. Subsequent zombie horde attacks will no longer trigger notifications. Please upgrade your reconnaissance attribute to prepare on your own.]
"Isn't this just Plants vs. Zombies? They've even stopped acting. People use sunlight to buy plants to fight zombies, and you're using sunlight to buy weapons to fight zombies, huh!" Han Yu thought to himself.
"And this sunlight, isn't it a bit too little? Is it going to fall from the sky?"
[Ding-dong, this isn't Plants vs. Zombies! You can refuse to upgrade your villa (as long as you're not afraid of getting your brains eaten by zombies, hehehe). Also, currently, sunlight can only be obtained by recruiting tenants.]
Han Yu was speechless; there were far too few ways to get access to sunlight.
However, these are not issues he needs to consider right now. He clearly remembers that the system just said that the first wave of zombie attacks will arrive tomorrow.
The most important thing is to figure out how to withstand this attack.
As he pondered this, Jian Chun slowly and gracefully descended the stairs.
Judging from the way she walks, it's obvious that Han Yu stepped on the gas too hard when he was driving last night.
Han Yu looked up at her but didn't say anything. At that moment, he was carefully calculating how to make the best use of the meager 30 points of sunlight.
Seeing that Han Yu was ignoring her, Jian Chun felt very upset. Last night he was so nice... but this morning he didn't recognize her at all.
"Ha, men, they're all the same, none of them are any good."
Jian Chun snorted coldly, sat down at the table, and picked up a sandwich and put it in her mouth.
"Who gave you permission to be on the table?" Han Yu's voice wasn't loud, but it was very intimidating.
When the words reached Jian Chun's ears, she dared not resist and could only leave the table, standing there blankly, not knowing where to go.
"Come here," Han Yu pointed to the carpet beside him, "Eat here."
For Jian Chun, this feeling of being dominated was strange and contradictory.
Rationally speaking, I should dislike or even loathe this attitude, but deep down I also have a sliver of expectation, a desire to be treated with such disrespect...
While her mind wandered, Han Yu had already selected the combination that would best enhance the villa's defenses.
Villa No. 1 in Area A of Jiangwan Villa District, which is the villa where Han Yujianchun lives, is a typical north-facing villa with a mountain behind and water in front.
As the saying goes, the best defense is a good offense.
Han Yu thought so too, so he used most of his 50 suns to buy offensive supplies.
First, spend 24 suns to buy two basic automatic crossbows. These are powerful, have a long range, and cover a wide area, making them a powerful weapon against zombie hordes.
As for the location, it was naturally on the rooftop, where the view was unobstructed and the power of the ballista could be maximized.
Secondly, an auto-aiming shotgun was placed on the east, west, and south sides, costing a total of 21 suns.
While auto-aiming shotguns are inferior to automatic crossbows in many aspects, they offer better value for money and are effective against zombies at medium range.
The final 5 suns will be used to upgrade the entire villa's exterior walls to a steel barbed wire defense system.
In this way, we have output at all three levels: long range, mid range, and close range, so we are not so afraid of zombie attacks.
Having made up his mind, Han Yu summoned the system and, with a wave of his hand, spent all 50 points of sunshine he had in his account.
Suddenly, a pile of weapons and ammunition appeared out of nowhere in the center of the living room.
"Oh my god! What is this?!" The sudden appearance of the weapon startled Jian Chun.
As for why she was so startled, one reason was that she had never seen these things before, but more importantly, the weapons and ammunition appeared out of thin air, like magic, which was bound to surprise her.
Han Yu glanced at her. "Are you finished eating? If you are, go pack these things up."
"Huh?!" Jian Chun was greatly disappointed. "Brother, weren't we supposed to be off work today?"
"Watch your words. Call me master," Han Yu corrected her. "Also, the promise I made this morning is null and void. If you don't want to die, you'd better listen to me."
Jian Chun sensed a threat in Han Yu's words, stuck out her tongue, and said, "Tch, I won't do it. It's raining blood today; going out is the same as dying. Why would I do it?"
"Look outside!"
Jian Chun followed Han Yu's hand and looked outside. The blood rain had stopped at some point, and several crimson moons hung in the sky. In the dim light, a few chilling roars reached her ears...
"Outside, what is outside...?"
