Chapter 332 Tool Chicken

Xia Xinyan was also pondering the information she had just received.

A zombie virus, huh…

She hadn’t prepared any antidotes for that, but…

‘Tianji.’

【Host finally remembers this system, huh?】

‘Less chatter. Can my healing ability cure this zombie virus?’

【Of course! The host’s succubus lineage is created by true gods, all abilities have the highest priority in this world. Healing something as trivial as a zombie virus is a piece of cake!】

‘Hmm.’ Xia Xinyan contemplated for two seconds before bringing up another matter, ‘Tianji, would you like to have a physical body in reality?’

She remembered Monica had mentioned that the system… whatever this terminal is, could be materialized to better assist investigators in handling cases.

Moreover, that guy’s terminal turned into a metal brick, capable of squashing even Godzilla. However, Xia Xinyan didn’t know how it worked because she hadn’t seen that guy use it.

Now that Xia Xinyan and Ling Mo had grown in strength, the opportunities for Tianji to be of use became increasingly rare—mainly because she had already maxed out all the skills and abilities that she and Ling Mo could allocate points to. There was no more left to allocate.

According to Tianji, this limit was a built-in safety measure of the system to prevent the user from overloading themselves.

But here comes the problem: this terminal was originally only aimed at the host, and the set limit was the peak for a single individual. However, after the world was reset, it became the allocation choice for two people, yet the overall allocation limit remained unchanged.

In other words, Xia Xinyan and Ling Mo’s real strength could still be nearly doubled.

And this enhancement… Xia Xinyan couldn’t even imagine what it would be like, because their current strength was already close to the peak of humanity—standing at fourth and fifth on the leaderboard, as for the top three… Xia Xinyan was quite familiar.

Familiar from her past life.

So she had a certain understanding of the strength of those three big shots, and she could also ascertain that the gap between them wasn’t too large. In fact, if it came to a real fight, they might not even be Ling Mo’s match, but for now, there simply hadn’t been an opportunity to test that.

Thus, Xia Xinyan was relatively satisfied with their current strength. She couldn’t be bothered to complain about the upper limit set for Tianji. Plus, there wasn’t anything worth buying in its system store, so Tianji’s presence in her mind was increasingly diminished.

Until now.

【Host needs to provide a materialization vessel for this system? This system will do its utmost to assist the host within its duties!】

Just listening to the voice in her head… or perhaps watching the words appear, Xia Xinyan could sense Tianji’s excitement.

It seemed this guy was quite eager about this matter.

Tsk, she’ll have to find an opportunity to ask Monica in the coming days… how to manifest this guy.

And the first thing she would do is give this guy a beating.

【…Host, did I do something wrong?】

‘Shut up.’

Tianji fell silent.

Meanwhile, Ling Mo was looking at Xia Xinyan, frowning in thought.

He spoke up again: “Is Xinyan worried about the zombie virus?”

Xia Xinyan snapped back to reality and gently shook her head: “No need to worry. I can heal the zombie virus.”

“That’s great,” Ling Mo smiled, then paused, “But… does your ability work on yourself?”

Xia Xinyan: “…”

She called for support again: ‘Tianji.’

【Host, don’t worry! The only flaw in the succubus healing ability is that it does not apply to severe physical damage suffered by the host themselves. However, it can achieve complete immunity to toxins!】

In other words, she had a body that was immune to all poisons.

Understanding this, Xia Xinyan said, “The zombie virus has no effect on me.”

Hearing this, Ling Mo finally let out a sigh of relief: “That’s good.”

The most significant problem had been solved.

His biggest worry after learning this was that Xinyan would get hurt—because he had seen Xia Xinyan get injured and unable to use that healing ability on herself, just like how a healer couldn’t heal themselves. He was also worried that she wouldn’t be able to defend against the zombie virus.

Although he knew her skills were excellent, he wouldn’t be able to rest easy until she was safe. At one point, he even thought about sending her away first and going to handle the Source of Invasion alone.

It seemed he really had to consider making a suitable full-body battle armor for Xinyan…

“You don’t need to worry,” Xia Xinyan said, feeling a bit strange about Ling Mo treating her as someone needing protection, “I’m not that weak, and I won’t hold you back.”

Before Ling Mo could respond, she turned to walk ahead: “It’s getting late. Let’s go resolve the Source of Invasion.”

Tiger Ba Tian and his group were moving quickly. After establishing a basic information network for the small town, the speed of further actions could be significantly accelerated, and the overall rescue phase was entering its final task—dealing with the Source of Invasion.

The outer survivor groups had basically confirmed their positions; however, their weapons were limited, and the final number of those who came to support them was not many. Ultimately, they still had to rely on themselves to solve the trouble.

As they approached the town center, Tiger Ba Tian and Chicken Head met up with Ling Mo and Xia Xinyan: “The situation isn’t too good. Many of our brothers are injured, and we can’t drag this out any longer. We need to resolve that Source of Invasion quickly.”

Xia Xinyan glanced at Tiger Ba Tian: “Are there any survivors in the central area?”

“Not sure,” Tiger Ba Tian shook his head, “There’s a Source of Invasion here, and we’re afraid of running into problems, so we hadn’t had time to scout.”

“Then there’s no need to scout,” Ling Mo interjected, “Let’s go directly to deal with the Source of Invasion.”

“How do you plan to do that?” Chicken Head looked at him.

“Estimate that the Source of Invasion will still use a zombie tide to launch an attack from the outskirts. Even if there are other methods, they should only trigger once they get close enough,” Ling Mo continued. “The main trouble is the zombie tide. The Source of Invasion can be left to me and Xinyan, but the zombie tide will likely need you to help share the burden.”

“What do we do?” Tiger Ba Tian didn’t decline.

After all, this was his territory. Even if Ling Mo asked him to resolve the Source of Invasion, he wouldn’t say a word.

“It’s simple,” Ling Mo raised his right hand and slowly materialized a few… loudspeakers, “You guys can use these to attract the zombies and remind potential survivors in the central area to get ready. After gathering the zombies together…”

He continued by manifesting a few baseball-sized items: “Use these.”

“What is this?” Chicken Head instinctively took one, turning it over in his hand for a bit.

“Cataclysmic Explosive Bomb, it can wipe out an area the size of a basketball court. Quite suitable for this scenario as a low-power bomb. Just don’t press that button; it’s the detonation switch.”

Chicken Head almost dropped the thing in fright.

This is called a low-power bomb…

What kind of explosion are we talking about?
