Chapter 63: Opportunities, Danger

When Liu Yun asked, the System replied, [Player, those are scattered opportunities that you can gather across the Apocalypse World.]

Hearing the System’s answer, she grew even more curious. ’Scattered opportunities? What are those?’

[Scattered opportunities can be described as random events or missions.]

Liu Yun pondered the System’s short explanation for a while, then asked, ’So, these scattered opportunities are like random drops?’

[The Player can think of them that way.]

Although Liu Yun did not really understand what scattered opportunities were, she had some guesses after asking the System.

Staring at the golden dots on the transparent blue screen, she fell into deep thought.

After a long moment passed, she asked, ’System, will these scattered opportunities disappear if I don’t pick them up?’

[Yes.]

Rubbing her chin, she thought, ’Since these golden dots are called opportunities, then other people, or even mutants and zombies, can take them away.’

Noticing that Ruan Weisong’s green dot had stopped moving, she made her decision.

’Let’s focus on Ruan Weisong first. After finding some supplies, I can then check these golden dots.’

Having made her decision, she looked up from the map and said, "Elder Brother Gu, the factory warehouse area is nearby. It’s five hundred meters after turning left."

"Got it."

With Liu Yun as their navigator, they arrived at the factory warehouse area in no time.

Checking the time on the car’s dashboard, Liu Yun calculated the duration of the Invisible Talisman’s effect.

’The effect should have worn off by now.’

While Liu Yun was thinking, Lan Zuancheng said, "Look. That’s Ruan Weisong and his men. Zhenwei, don’t let them discover us."

"Understood."

Slowing the car, Gu Zhenwei drove to a secluded area not far from the warehouse’s entrance, then turned off the engine.

After the three of them got out of the car, Liu Yun put the car into her Dimensional Space. When she was done, the three of them secretly moved toward the warehouse’s entrance.

Standing by the entrance, Ruan Weisong was holding a map.

Pointing to a few places on the map, he said, "Captain Lian, these warehouses were used to store canned food and mineral water. You guys can go there and get the supplies."

Lian Tianci looked up from the map and asked, "What about you guys?"

Ruan Weisong put away the map, looked at Lian Tianci, and replied, "We’re going to the office building. There’s something I need to get from there."

Since this place belonged to him, Lian Tianci didn’t have any objections. As long as his team could get supplies, where Ruan Weisong wanted to go was none of his business.

After a brief moment of thought, Lian Tianci asked, "How do we split the supplies?"

Smiling politely at him, Ruan Weisong generously said, "All the supplies that you find are yours. What we find is ours."

Lian Tianci was very satisfied with this arrangement and agreed without hesitation. "Good."

Now that they had their own objectives and an agreement, it was time to clean up the zombies.

Looking at the scattered zombies roaming inside the warehouse area, Lian Tianci said, "There are not many zombies here. We can split up."

After saying that, he took out a walkie-talkie and handed it to Ruan Weisong. "Take this with you. You can call for backup if you guys are in danger."

Accepting the walkie-talkie, Ruan Weisong nodded. "Thank you."

Putting away the walkie-talkie, he turned to his team and said, "Let’s go."

"Yes, Captain."

Following his order, they easily climbed over the high metal gate, then disappeared into the distance.

A few moments later, the sounds of fighting came from the direction where they were going.

"Roar!"

Hearing the faint sounds of zombies roaring, Lian Tianci said, "Move out."

With that, the soldiers also climbed over the gate and ran toward another direction.

After they all left, Liu Yun said, "Let’s go."

Following her, Gu Zhenwei and Lan Zuancheng ran toward the warehouse area’s entrance.

Looking at the tall metal gate, Gu Zhenwei asked, "Younger Sister Liu, do you need me to carry you over?"

Just as his words fell, Liu Yun pushed the metal gate lightly.

Creak~!

The rusty metal gate creaked as it opened, and the sound echoed through the silent surroundings, making the atmosphere awkward.

Pointing at the opened gate, she slowly said, ".... The gate is open."

Lan Zuancheng and Gu Zhenwei were speechless at this sight. After a few seconds of silence, they looked at each other.

"...." Are those people stupid or just trying to show off?

Before they could react, Liu Yun had already slipped past the metal gate and urged, "Elder Brothers, what are you guys doing there? Hurry up, or we’ll lose them."

Coming back to their senses, Lan Zuancheng and Gu Zhenwei hurriedly went into the warehouse area. Before leaving, Lan Zuancheng kindly closed and locked the metal gate again.

Signaling for them to follow her, Liu Yun whispered, "This way."

They ran for more than ten minutes before they saw Ruan Weisong and his team in the distance, fighting a four-meter-tall zombie.

"Grass! That zombie is so big!" Gu Zhenwei exclaimed in shock at the sight of the giant zombie.

Afraid that he would attract the zombies’ attention, Lan Zuancheng hurriedly covered his mouth. "Shh!!"

Realizing that he had almost made a huge mistake, Gu Zhenwei hurriedly nodded, indicating that he would shut up.

Lan Zuancheng gave him a warning look before releasing his mouth. Hiding in the shadows, he whispered, "Younger Sister Liu, should we help them?"

Liu Yun shook her head and said, "No. That giant zombie should be stronger than ordinary ones. The three of us will only send out a headcount if we go out right now."

After saying that, she couldn’t help but think, ’Even the Chosen One couldn’t kill that thing. If I go help him, I will die in seconds. I still want to live and eat more delicious food.’

"Then what should we do now?" Gu Zhenwei asked.

Liu Yun scanned the surroundings, then looked at the transparent blue screen. Seeing a big golden dot nearby, her eyes lit up.

’I knew it! Wherever the male lead goes, there will be an opportunity awaiting him!’

Grinning slyly, she looked at Gu Zhenwei and Lan Zuancheng. "Elder Brothers, do you guys like treasure hunting?"

When she asked this, Gu Zhenwei’s eyes lit up. Leaning closer to her, he eagerly asked, "Younger Sister Liu, have you found a treasure?"

"Come with me," Liu Yun said as she sneakily left their hiding place, followed by Gu Zhenwei and Lan Zuancheng.

Not far from there, Ruan Weisong and his team were entangled in a fierce battle with the giant zombie.

As he jumped toward the giant zombie with a lightning ball in his hand, Ruan Weisong suddenly felt uneasy, causing him to hesitate for a second.

"Captain, be careful!"
