Death Stranding: I Return from the Beach

Ozodec scanners are the most loyal helpers for delivery personnel.

Hang it on your backpack; it's powered by a small amount of battery and can be used to scan terrain and cargo.

Now that he is a Gold-level Special Envoy, it means that the scope and difficulty of the commissions he can accept have greatly increased, so Ozoldek becomes very necessary.

These past few days, besides paying rent, I've spent all my money on buying this.

He spent a long time browsing in the dispatch center's shopping mall before finally settling on a sky-blue, brand-new Ozoldek.

Next, the chiral rat in the bag needs to be delivered to the designated location.

He arrived at the apartment building he had passed countless times, placed the cargo box containing the animals at the door, and dialed the employer's number, named "Coconut," according to the mission details.

"Feed?" came a very charming voice from the other end of the phone.

Chen Wang thought to himself that it was a shame he wasn't a streamer, but politely said, "Hello, the animal crate has arrived. Should I leave it at the door?"

"No need, I'm home right now," footsteps came from across the door. "I'll come out and get it."

The door opened, and the two women's eyes met. The woman's lips twitched slightly, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated, indicating that she had recognized Chen Wang.

After all, the boy living diagonally across the street had greeted her a couple of days ago. However, being as arrogant as she was, she instinctively regarded Chen Wang as a poor and greasy guest, so she completely ignored him.

The real reason was that Chen Wang wasn't wearing a shirt that day, and she thought he did it on purpose to show off his muscular physique.

That's awful.

"Ah, it's you." Coconut seemed very calm. "The guy who lives across the street, right? I didn't expect it was you who took the order."

Chen Wang remained calm, after all, he wasn't in the wrong. Even so, a unique fragrance wafted from the coconut, which was very close by. It was different from Li Mengyao's sweetness and Xu Rui's lightness; it was a strong, just-right, and intoxicating aroma.

"I didn't expect it was you who placed the order," Chen Wang said, staring into the other person's eyes.

It wasn't that he wanted to stare, but Coconut's amazing figure made his gaze seem like a provocation and an offense no matter where he looked...

What kind of good person would call a coconut?

Chen Wang sensed the awkward atmosphere, but thankfully said, "Then it's up to you. Remember to give me a good review!"

Turning to leave, I heard a soft mutter behind me: "He's not a bad person..."

"Wait a minute!" Coconut called out to Chen Wang.

He turned around, looking at the coconut with a mixture of confusion and inexplicable anticipation.

Coconut pointed to the room diagonally opposite: "You've gone to the wrong place. Aren't you supposed to stay here?"

"Ha, I wanted to go downstairs..." Chen Wang didn't want to lose face, so he blurted out the reason, "to go downstairs to eat noodles."

Before she could finish speaking, a meow suddenly came from Coconut's room.

A black cat poked its head out from under her feet, curiously examining Chen Wang with its yellow eyes. After confirming that there was no danger, it brought its nose closer to the cargo box containing the chiral rats.

Chen Wang was somewhat surprised, even forgetting to complete the reason he had only half-spoken. He took two steps forward and squatted down.

He loved cats, even though his pet was a Chiral. The black wasn't its fur, but rather a flowing, dynamic layer of tar. The cat's eyes looked exceptionally large, both adorable and playful.

Chen Wang pointed at the cat and asked curiously, "Did you catch the chiral rat to feed it?"

"Well, I guess so." Coconut looked at the black cat at her feet. "We can't let it eat big fish and meat all the time. It needs to train its hunting skills from time to time."

She picked up the black cat. Because it was far away from the cargo box, the black cat seemed a little dissatisfied and kept rolling around with its paws in Coconut's arms, looking quite lively.

However, before long, the cat's paw snagged on Coconut's fitted gray shirt, pulling out a loose thread and tearing a snow-white gash in an instant.

While the black cat was causing trouble, Chen Wang had a premonition that something bad was going to happen. By the time Coconut let out a soft gasp of surprise, he had already turned his gaze to his feet.

"These chiral rats are so dark..." He was at a loss for words.

"Your name is Chen Wang, right?" Coconut blushed slightly and deliberately shielded the cat's body in front of her. "Could you help me carry these cargo boxes inside? I don't have any free hands."

Some people are truly born voice actors; even with a flat tone, they can convey a sense of rhythm and emotion.

Chen Wang, upholding his responsibility as a man, responded, stacked the cargo boxes together, and easily lifted them with one hand before following Coconut into the house.

The view inside the house far exceeded Chen Wang's expectations.

When Chen Wang first met Coconut, he remembered that she was wearing a business suit. He wondered why she would live here if she was a white-collar worker.

Seeing the house full of animals has only fueled his curiosity.

Several cats were running around on the ground, and several fish of different sizes were swimming in a large fish tank next to them; next to that, a small, separate area was separated by glass, with dense small plants and reptiles hiding in it; on the clothes rack on the ceiling and in front of the window, a few birds were perched and tilting their heads, looking at him curiously.

Without exception, they are all Cairo animals.

Even though he had seen many bizarre scenes in his previous life, Chen Wang still couldn't help but take three steps back when he saw this.

Or maybe I should just leave...

"What's wrong?" Coconut turned around, her voice alluring and mature. "Don't be afraid, they're all friendly."

She put the cat down and sat on the sofa, elegantly crossing her legs. "Look at that open space over there. The chiral rats will live there."

Sure enough, a corner of the room had been covered with fine sand to create a mouse paradise.

Chen Wang swallowed hard and put the cargo box down. "I thought they were cat food."

As he spoke, Coconut behind him suddenly stood up, walked to Chen Wang's side with crisp footsteps, and squatted down as well.

She opened a box and skillfully grabbed a chiral rat in each hand.

"Go on, you have a home now." The two mice were placed in the soft sand and cautiously sniffed around.

In a short time, Chen Wang had calmed down.

This woman is shrouded in great mystery.

Its name is Coconut, and it looks like an office worker, but it lives alone in this cheap apartment building and keeps a large number of chiral animals.

Who is she?

He turned his head and glanced at Coconut, who was tending to the mouse nest.

Her fingers were slender and fair, and the dark purple nail polish suited her perfectly. It was clear that she took good care of them and hadn't done any strenuous work.

Her long, slightly wavy hair, with the excess strands tucked behind her ears, along with her high-necked top and stiletto heels, made her stand out even when she squatted down.

Is she a sorceress? Or a spy sent by another country to bewitch people?

In short, Chen Wang stroked the cat on the other side, which was pressed against him, and asked solemnly:

"Um, do you sell cats?"
