Chapter 351: Week 4 of Survival in the Apocalypse Begins
"Idiot, don't say it out loud!""Great, with that one sentence, we'll have at least tens of thousands more competitors."
"Sigh, what a pig teammate."
"Wake up, he's not your teammate."
"...Is it too late for me to take it back now?"
"Does the system have a recall function?"
"No, I couldn't even delete the pictures I sent earlier."
"Deleting it is useless, I've already saved it."
"Huh?"
"Bro, I've been following you for a long time, too bad I can't go out."
"That's a bit creepy, bro."
"Aren't they all male?"
【All survivors in this region have completed the War Front activity】
【No remaining Mutation Creatures remain, activity concluded】
"Finally over."
"Hey, Old Yu is back?"
"Only Old Yu can survive on the battlefield for so long."
Yu Feng: Sorry for keeping everyone waiting.
"It's fine, we can eat hotpot and sing in the Shelter. You're the unlucky one, coming back still having to hide, can't even take a hot shower. (Food picture)"
"Yeah, so tragic, it's fine if you come back next month instead."
"Then he wouldn't be able to come back at all, right?"
Yu Feng: ...Good night.
"Good night, tomorrow is a new week."
"Good night."
...
Lin Ye also sent a "good night," then hugged the little deer, lay down on the bed, and closed his eyes.
The third week of survival in the apocalypse officially ended.
................................................................
Day 22 of survival in the apocalypse, 8:49 AM.
Because of yesterday's Nighttime Activity, Lin Ye woke up later than usual for the first time in a while.
A deer hoof and a sheep hoof were resting on Lin Ye. The little deer was still in a deep sleep, and the Scapegoat lay on the other side.
Lin Ye pushed away the deer and sheep hooves, got up, and prepared breakfast.
After finishing breakfast and taking care of the plants and animals for a while, Lin Ye returned to bed to begin his daily simulation.
【Please choose to start a new simulation task or enter a simulation base】
"Enter simulation base."
【Please select the simulation base to enter】
"The asylum."
................................................................
【Simulated base personnel: Kevin】
【Acquired Special Ability: Flexibility】
【Flexibility】
【After using this ability, your body will become exceptionally flexible】
【Note: Perhaps you can try walking on all fours】
【Simulation can be ended at any time】
When Lin Ye regained his senses, he was sitting on the dormitory bed. Kevin seemed to be preparing to rest.
Lin Ye got up and left the dormitory. After walking only a few steps, he encountered Ward 419.
*Knock knock.*
Lin Ye knocked on the door, and it automatically opened.
"Come in."
Lin Ye entered the ward. The room hadn't changed much. The young girl was still leaning against the pillow at the head of the bed, her features blurred.
"Do you know how to distinguish the value of Waste Stones now?"
Lin Ye sat on the edge of the bed, continuing the unfinished conversation from last time.
"It's simple. Here, take this."
The young girl handed Lin Ye a white flower.
Lin Ye carefully accepted the flower. He had encountered a similar flower the first time he came to the asylum.
"Use this flower to touch the Waste Stone. If it changes color, it means there's something unusual inside the stone. But if the flower turns black, it means the thing inside the Waste Stone is extremely dangerous. You can keep that stone, but don't open it."
The young girl tucked the flower behind Lin Ye's ear. A line of system text appeared before his eyes.
【Received a gift. Carry the gift to complete the simulation to bring it back to the Shelter】
"Even if you didn't say so, I'd keep it. Such treacherous items aren't common."
Lin Ye looked at the young girl with the expression of someone meeting a kindred spirit.
"...No, I just think selling such dangerous items isn't good, and you might find a use for this type of item in the future."
The young girl had never considered using Waste Stones to trick people.
"Ahem, that's what I thought too."
Lin Ye regretfully withdrew his look of seeing a fellow conspirator.
"Let's get to the main point. Have you come into contact with Abyss items again?"
The young girl felt that completing the Risk Hedging Plan was a long and arduous task.
"Someone gave me a gift. I just opened it and took a look inside the Shelter. Is the impact significant?"
Lin Ye hadn't expected that even inside the Shelter, he'd be affected enough for the young girl to notice at a glance.
"Moderate. What was the item?"
The young girl took out a very thick book with a brown cover from the nearby bookshelf.
"The Abyssal Eye."
Lin Ye told the truth.
"...You really manage to get your hands on all sorts of bizarre things, don't you?"
The young girl put the thick brown book back, then produced a mirror out of thin air and placed it in front of Lin Ye.
Lin Ye looked at his reflection in the mirror. A faint, flickering crimson flashed in his right eye.
"...So it's already fused with my right eye?"
Lin Ye touched his right eye. There was no strange sensation. Using mental energy to perceive it yielded the same result—it felt no different from an ordinary eyeball.
If not for that flash of crimson, Lin Ye wouldn't have noticed anything abnormal.
"Correct. The Abyssal Eye isn't just an eyeball;it's also a very troublesome Abyss product. Fortunately, the other party sent it to you through the system. Otherwise, your current condition wouldn't be this stable."
The young girl took out an orange and began peeling it for Lin Ye.
"Could this affect Kevin?"
Compared to himself, Lin Ye was more concerned about this body. He didn't want to lose the asylum as a channel.
"No, that's another troublesome aspect of the Abyssal Eye. It's connected to your spirit and won't have a major impact on the physical body."
The young girl placed the peeled orange on a small plate in front of Lin Ye.
"If I'd known, I wouldn't have opened that box."
Lin Ye hadn't expected that just looking at that eyeball once would lead to such complications.
"No, since the other party gave you the Abyssal Eye, they wouldn't give you a chance to avoid it. So, opening the box or not doesn't make much difference. The problem now is, which book should I show you."
The young girl turned to look at the bookshelf. This time, she hesitated slightly.
"Please make it a simpler one. I just participated in the War Front activity and I'm still in a burnout phase."
Lin Ye picked up the orange and took a bite. The orange was juicy, pleasantly sweet and sour, and very delicious.
"I'm afraid that won't be possible. The Abyssal Eye is extremely troublesome. This time, I need to send you a bit deeper into the Dreamrealm."
Considering Lin Ye's previous performance on the stage, the young girl decided to slightly increase the purity of the risk this time.
"Can I go deeper into the Dreamrealm?"
Lin Ye got the feeling that this was even more dangerous than the Abyssal Eye.
"I'm not sure either. That will require your own effort."
The young girl took a book with a colorful cover from the shelf and handed it to Lin Ye.
"Alright."
Lin Ye took the book and glanced at the cover. There was no title, only a chaotic swirl of colors.
It bore some resemblance to the illusory dream he had witnessed at the research base before.
"This time, it's not a predetermined story. You can act as you wish. However, if the event collapses, there isn't much I can do."
The young girl stated the facts.
"I'll try my best not to let the event collapse... if I can still remember after entering."
Lin Ye opened the colorful book.
