My apocalyptic heroine has come true

Xia Xiaochi shrank his neck.

She silently looked at the suit on the ground that was moving strangely and blinked curiously.

If it were in the past, she would have considered whether she had encountered some kind of neutrino paranormal event.

But now, after knowing clearly that Big Brother System had complete control over the shelter, she knew that these strange phenomena were all caused by Big Brother System...

and.

I don’t know if it was Xia Xiaochi’s illusion.

She actually felt that the System Brother at this moment... had a bit of a resentful feeling?

Xia Xiaochi hurriedly walked over with his crutches.

After taking a look at the clean clothes lying on the ground, Xia Xiaochi lowered his head and said with difficulty:

"I didn't change. Because... I was too dirty."

The two of them were so far apart that the system boss couldn't sense Xia Xiaochi's current condition.

Although all the external injuries have healed, as soon as you take off your clothes, the unwashed dirt on the surface of your skin will be particularly obvious.

Every time Xia Xiaochi went out, he would secretly rub the dirt off his body with his hands, but those stains mixed with sweat, blood, and dust stuck to the surface of the skin and were difficult to remove unless they were directly washed with drinking water... But this was too luxurious, and Xia Xiaochi would never do that.

"...I want to take a shower and change into this new set of clothes."

When saying this, Xia Xiaochi felt extremely nervous.

Now that my living standard is so high, I still have to ask for a shower. This is a bit inappropriate.

"Just find a rainy day, or go to a nearby small pond... I know there are many small ponds near the ruins of the 0331 shelter, but that location is five kilometers away from the shelter... If you agree, I'm willing to go there anytime." Xia Xiaochi looked up and added in a low voice.

In fact, the act of "taking a bath" is not uncommon in this world.

After all, here, apart from the waste and garbage everywhere, the most remaining thing is polluted water.

Contaminated water cannot be drunk for a long time, but it is completely fine to use for bathing.

In order to keep his promise of not leaving the one-kilometer radius of the shelter, Xia Xiaochi did not go looking for the pond during this period.

She had been enduring the feeling of blood and sweat mixed on her body until today, when the system boss asked her to change into a set of clean clothes, and she carefully raised her request.

But she didn't expect that the system brother's answer would be so decisive.

"good."

"If your legs can handle a 10-kilometer round trip, go for it."

"Didn't you say last time that you wanted to go back and take a look? This is a good opportunity for me to go back."

After that, the monitor was silent for a moment.

The next second, a small watch-shaped device appeared in front of Xia Xiaochi.

Xia Xiaochi picked it up with both hands.

During this period, nothing that the system brother threw at her was ordinary.

The shape and appearance of this watch seem to be made of the same material as the communicator screen.

It should be a supporting facility of the shelter.

"A portable communicator. Wearing it not only allows you to remotely control the shelter, but also allows you to keep in touch with me from outside."

Under Xia Xiaochi's surprised gaze, Fang Ming sent the instructions for using the small watch.

That’s right, he couldn’t help himself and went shopping again.

When Fang Ming heard that the heroine was going to a farther place this time, the first thing he thought of was this device that had been hanging in the first row of the store for a long time and that Fang Ming had been thinking about for a long time.

Portable Communicator, sold for 9 energy points.

This device does not have an upgrade button. It and the basic communicator in the shelter are parent-child devices. As long as the parent device "Basic Communicator" is upgraded, this "portable communicator" will also be upgraded.

In short, this portable communicator also has voice communication function.

In addition to maintaining communication with Fang Ming, it also has the ability to remotely control the shelter equipment.

Xia Xiaochi no longer has to open and close the door manually.

It's a good thing.

"Thank you, Brother System...you're so thoughtful."

Xia Xiaochi put the watch on his wrist without hesitation.

This is just great.

This way I won’t be alone on my way home to visit my parents.

Moreover, traveling long distances with the System Big Brother gave Xia Xiaochi more confidence.

[Name: Xia Xiaochi]

【Shelter: Ark】

[Health value: 22]

Heart rate: 78

【Body temperature: 36.5】

The moment Xia Xiaochi put on the wristband, more information about her body appeared on Fang Ming's mobile phone.

“There’s actually this function.”

Fang Ming was also pleasantly surprised by this new feature.

Now he can observe Xia Xiaochi's physical condition more intuitively.

At least the hypothermia situation that happened last time could have been completely avoided.

"Have a good rest, we'll leave at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning."

After sending the last sentence, Fang Ming did not stop.

After closing the game, Fang Ming lay down to rest.

Although Fang Ming's initial plan prioritized storing energy points, hunting mutants, and upgrading the shelter, he could have temporarily put aside the heroine's request and focused all his energy on the next day's hunt.

But this doesn't suit Fang Ming's style of play.

Fang Ming's purpose in playing this game is not to kill monsters or level up.

The reason why he was attracted to this game was entirely because of the character of the heroine.

Everything in this game world is fake, but the feeling the heroine brings him is real.

Based on this point alone, the heroine Xia Xiaochi’s priority is above everything else.

not to mention……

According to Fang Ming's observations, Xia Xiaochi's mood will directly affect his health value.

In order to unlock more rich content in subsequent games and for Fang Ming himself to have a better gaming experience, it is indeed very important to "meet Xia Xiaochi's reasonable request."

It just so happens that tomorrow is Saturday.

According to the schedule customized for Fang Ming by the rehabilitation center, every Saturday is a day off, so Fang Ming can play games all day tomorrow.

Chapter 23 Traveling far away

The next morning.

I'm going on a long trip today.

After Xia Xiaochi woke up, he began to pack his luggage.

It is about three kilometers from here to the 0331 shelter, and about four kilometers to the small pond outside the shelter.

To be on the safe side, Xia Xiaochi calculated it as five kilometers, so the round trip would be ten kilometers.

If his legs were healthy, it would take Xia Xiaochi about two and a half hours to walk the ten kilometers.

But now, the fracture of his left leg has not fully recovered. Xia Xiaochi estimates that the round trip will take about five hours.

With this thought, she only had three hours left for activities during the day.

Three hours... is enough for Xia Xiaochi, who has always been efficient.

After simply packing up his things, Xia Xiaochi decided to travel light.

She didn't need to bring any food with her, as it was only eight hours. Xia Xiaochi had always been very tolerant of hunger, so she just filled herself with a bottle of drinking water and set off.

As for personal equipment, Xia Xiaochi took as much as he could.

Dagger, wooden bow, and arrows.

Although mutant species will not appear during the day, there is more than one threat in this world. In addition to wild beasts, humans can also pose a threat to Xia Xiaochi.

So she didn't dare to be careless.

After getting his equipment, Xia Xiaochi carried the only bag on his shoulders.

Inside was a new set of clothes given to her by the System Brother, which was the most expensive thing on her body.

In the end times, most people will never be able to wear a new piece of clothing in their entire lives, but Xia Xiaochi owns a whole set of clothes at once.

That's why she wanted to wash herself clean before changing.

"Brother System, it's time."

"Well, let's go."

It's exactly eight o'clock.

Xia Xiaochi was already standing at the gate of the shelter. She just looked up and said something to the ceiling, and the system brother quickly responded to her.

Then, the door of the shelter slowly opened.

Facing the faint rays of morning sun under the dust storm, Xia Xiaochi walked out briskly, carrying a bow and a bag on his back, leaning on a crutch in one hand.

Fang Ming in the wheelchair was really envious of such a scene.

The only thing he can do now is to walk around the room in a wheelchair.
