"This Tier 4 Novice zombie is already this terrifying. How horrifying must the Tier 6 zombies Ice fought against have been!"
Ye Feng was quite shaken, looking at the Tier 4 Novice zombie whose head had been caved in.
"Ding~ Host has killed a Tier 4 Novice zombie, gaining 100 usable points!"
The system's prompt sounded.
"It's not just monsters like goblins. The higher the level of these zombies, the stronger they get, and the more usable points I gain... However, the cost-effectiveness isn't very high. Killing these things is so troublesome..."
Ye Feng frowned slightly and muttered.
"Big brother, are you alright?"
At this moment, Xiao Xiao ran up to Ye Feng, her voice filled with concern.
She had seen Ye Feng being blown away several times earlier and wanted to help, but Ye Feng had stopped her.
"Oh, I'm fine~ Just got a bit dusty, and my clothes are torn~"
Ye Feng waved his hand dismissively, not caring about it.
"Rumble~"
As Ye Feng finished speaking, his stomach immediately let out a protest of hunger.
"Oh my... what the heck? I specifically ate a lot of meat for breakfast, and my stomach is already this hungry..."
Hearing this sound, Ye Feng suddenly felt dizzy from hunger, his body devoid of strength.
Without time to think, he quickly took bread, jerky, and water from his spatial warehouse, sat down on a rock, and began to devour them ravenously.
Meanwhile, more zombies were approaching Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao.
After all, Ye Feng had fought against the Tier 4 Novice zombie earlier and had dealt with a lot of ordinary zombies in the process, but there were still quite a few left.
Seeing this, Xiao Xiao quickly stepped forward, a ball of flame appearing in her small hand, sending a faster-moving, sharp-headed zombie flying.
"Hoo~ Boom!~"
"Hoo hoo~"
For a time, the scene was filled with flames, and balls of fire shot out from time to time, hitting the zombies' heads.
Ye Feng had no mind to care about the precious usable points. All he wanted now was to eat, to eat a lot and a lot...
The battle with the Tier 4 Novice zombie earlier had clearly exhausted his stamina. At the time, he was focused on the fight and hadn't noticed. Now, he felt as if he hadn't eaten for days, and he was starving...
...
In the distance,
Li Yidao and others watched Xiao Xiao slaughtering zombies with astonishment on their faces.
They had initially thought that the delicately dressed, petite girl was being protected by Ye Feng, visiting the Red Shore Ruins out of curiosity and for exploration, and that she wouldn't have much combat ability. But they never expected...
...
Ye Feng, who was quickly drinking milk and chewing on a piece of beef jerky in the midst of the chaos, was also somewhat surprised.
Because the flames Xiao Xiao conjured were very accurate, each ball of fire hitting the zombies' heads and killing them.
After a while, Ye Feng swallowed a Swiss roll in two bites and said to Xiao Xiao, "Xiao Xiao, I'll take over now. You rest!"
"Whew, okay~!"
Xiao Xiao let out a sigh and retreated behind Ye Feng. She reached up to wipe the sweat from her forehead, as fighting with arcane energy for an extended period had left her quite weary.
Ye Feng casually picked up the barbell dropped by the Tier 4 Novice zombie, removed the weights, and then charged into the horde of zombies...
"Bang~ Hiss!"
"Keke~ Roar~ Kara~"
"Bang~ Puff!"
...
After a flurry of sounds, the scene returned to silence. All the zombies lay on the ground, motionless.
"Let's go, Xiao Xiao, we'll continue exploring!"
Ye Feng glanced around and said to Xiao Xiao.
"Okay!~"
Xiao Xiao nodded and quickly followed.
...
"Huh, a treasure chest?!"
As Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao walked behind a 3-story building, a white light flashed before Ye Feng's eyes.
"Beep~ Alert, Mithril treasure chest detected, 8 meters ahead!"
The system's prompt sounded as Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao walked towards the location of the treasure chest.
"This Mithril treasure chest seems to have been here for quite some time. Because there were so many zombies crowded here before, no one found it..."
Ye Feng muttered, looking at the Mithril treasure chest, which was already partially buried in the earth, covered in footprints and stains, with only a few areas still shining white.
Then, Ye Feng used the barbell pole as a crowbar to pry the treasure chest out of the dirt and opened it.
One side of this Mithril treasure chest was light green, indicating the lowest risk level. If it were yellow or even red, Ye Feng would have to be careful.
Inside the opened Mithril treasure chest were some regular food items, a lighter, several packs of sanitary napkins—the brand Yi Du Space, which Yan had mentioned to Ye Feng a few days ago—and a few Molotov cocktails.
"Ah~!"
"Big brother, what is this? A monster?"
Xiao Xiao was tidying up the supplies in the treasure chest when she suddenly let out a surprised yelp, jumped up, and retreated several steps.
"Oh my... it's this thing~"
Ye Feng stepped forward to look and couldn't help but be a little surprised.
The spatial rift that came with this Mithril treasure chest was filled with seawater, and inside were two large king crabs. When the treasure chest opened, they crawled out. Xiao Xiao, who had never seen this before, was startled.
"Xiao Xiao, these are king crabs. They have the functions of clearing heat and detoxifying, nourishing tendons and activating blood, unblocking meridians, and aiding digestion and tonifying. They'll be perfect for our dinner!"
Ye Feng explained to Xiao Xiao with great delight.
After all, in his previous world, he wouldn't have been able to afford such things. Now, as long as he could find the ocean, he should be able to catch and eat them freely...
Moreover, he had obtained the meat of the Steel Scale Bear and the Blood Ginseng from the sand dunes, which were very suitable for nourishing his body.
"Oh, I see!~"
Xiao Xiao nodded, understanding.
...
As evening approached,
On the rooftop of a 5-story building,
Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao were busy. On the ground, a makeshift stove was built with stones, with a large iron pot placed on top, containing the ribs and bone of the Steel Scale Bear and the Blood Ginseng, stewing. The unique aroma emanating from the mixture made Xiao Xiao's mouth water.
Next to it was another stove with a smaller iron pot. Ye Feng was holding a spatula, making fried rice...
After the egg fried rice was done, Ye Feng had Xiao Xiao steam the king crabs and vermicelli, which she had prepared according to his instructions, in a steamer.
It had to be said that with the multiple refreshes of the [Shop], Ye Feng now had a comprehensive set of cooking utensils. Furthermore, with the practice over this period, his and Xiao Xiao's culinary skills had greatly improved.
They were no longer at a stage where they could basically only cook things or eat ready-made meals...
For dinner, Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao ate more than usual. Ye Feng was hungry from the battles during the day, while Xiao Xiao was attracted by the soup made from the Blood Ginseng and bear bones and drank several bowls...
After they had a satisfying meal, the sky was almost dark.
Ye Feng did not head to the Tyrannosaurus Rex base stronghold mentioned by Li Yidao, but instead chose to rest in the building where they had cooked and eaten.
This was because the 5-story building had thick walls, its entrances and exits were blocked by Ye Feng with large stones, and it offered a good vantage point, making it convenient to observe the surroundings.
Furthermore, Ye Feng disliked crowded places, so he chose this location.
Ye Feng had placed several infrared alarm devices around the building, and on a tall tree in the distance, he had placed a timed noise generator to attract zombies...
"Ha~ Ah~!"
After checking the surroundings once more, Ye Feng yawned and walked into the room, collapsing directly onto the bedding Xiao Xiao had prepared, not wanting to move a single finger.
After all, he was extremely tired from the entire day, and his eyelids kept drooping.
Not long after Ye Feng lay down on the bed, he felt a pair of hands on his shoulders, starting to massage him...
"Little one, does it feel comfortable?"
In a daze, Ye Feng heard a somewhat ethereal female voice by his ear.
