Apocalypse: My Apartment Has Traits - Chapter 54 - 50: Vending Machine
Chapter 54: Chapter 50: Vending Machine
Killed three mutant beasts in two days, and extracted two pieces of meat?
If someone had told her that, Zhao Yaxin would have turned away coldly and scoffed.
Absolutely absurd.
However…
The ironclad facts in front of her left her speechless.
“You…”
Even with her calm demeanor, Zhao Yaxin was completely stunned at this moment, unsure of how to speak.
Su Lin grinned and scratched his head, “Pretty lucky.”
He himself felt quite surprised; a one in ten chance, yet he hit right on target.
He quickly pulled out the red cloth he carried, carefully wrapping the eighty to ninety-pound shiny piece of meat and hoisted it onto his shoulder.
“Sis, since we’re lucky today, why not explore a bit more?”
The day was still young, and Su Lin didn’t want to waste this round trip.
Zhao Yaxin, recovering from her shock, thought of this unbelievable luck and after a brief contemplation, nodded in agreement.
With fortune on their side, how could they return so easily?
The two continued navigating through the graveyard of concrete and steel, formed by collapsed buildings.
Zhao Yaxin’s mindset quietly shifted.
Yesterday, she merely intended to train her brother-in-law, but seeing him succeed repeatedly, her mentality changed.
With such strong luck, how could they miss the opportunity to gather resources to bring back?
Besides, accompanying her brother-in-law not only yielded a surprising amount of meat, but even the scattered resource bags along the way seemed to be more abundant.
Her father-in-law Su Qi was contributing to the search team, but as the Shunfeng Travel Group would arrive next week, saving up more money and goods was undoubtedly wise.
Having made up her mind, she discreetly picked up every silvery white resource bag she spotted along the way.
In the aftermath world, resources appeared wrapped in these silver bags of varying sizes, strikingly visible against the gray-yellow wasteland, often catching the eye with occasional reflections.
Inside the bags were remnants re-emerging after civilization’s demise:
A large portion consisted of various material crafts that could be decomposed into basic materials;
There’s also a small amount of directly usable items like soap, toothpaste, even lipstick and sanitary pads, all highly valuable in a resource-scarce dystopia.
Only items in these resource bags could be identified and converted by decomposition stations.
Zhao Yaxin untied the foldable snake skin bag from her waist, placing all the gathered resources inside. For her, the heavy bag now felt light.
The two stepped into a ruin they hadn’t visited the day before, Zhao Yaxin focused on showing Su Lin the paths around the nearby wilderness.
Suddenly, both of them halted their steps simultaneously.
Their gazes exchanged a wary look over a semi-collapsed wall about nine meters ahead.
Su Lin looked down, observing no beast tracks or fur on the ground.
Yet in the ten-meter proximity to the wall, his acute senses from “Precise Shooting” detected faint rustling sounds coming from behind the wall.
Su Lin silently raised his hand crossbow with one hand and drew the long saber from his back with the other, ready to attack.
Zhao Yaxin’s eyes twinkled slightly, but she didn’t move.
Su Lin instantly realized the foe behind the wall wasn’t strong.
Perfect, he desired practical combat experience to adapt to the rhythm of close encounters with mutant beasts.
Su Lin, holding his breath and focusing intensely, unloaded the meat from his back, picked up a stone, then put away his hand crossbow, gripping the saber’s hilt with both hands, bending low, listening attentively, and inching towards the wall.
Approaching the wall’s base, he suddenly hurled the stone towards the wall’s side!
Crack!
The moment the stone hit the ground, a gray shadow darted out like lightning from behind the wall!
Su Lin’s pupils contracted swiftly; his nearly 1.2-meter-long saber swung downward with a fierce wind-cutting sound!
The blade was about to touch the gray shadow, but the creature agilely twisted in midair to dodge!
Su Lin had anticipated this; he applied only seventy percent of his strength, the old force hadn’t depleted, and a new force had already emerged!
In the air, the vertical strike trajectory suddenly changed into a sharp horizontal slash!
Though the shift reduced three-tenths of the force, the cold blade still accurately grazed the gray shadow!
Slash!
Blood splattered!
The blade sliced into flesh, shattering scales!
The gray shadow turned out to be a mutant python as thick as a thigh!
Su Lin’s blade penetrated nearly a quarter deep into the snake’s body!
Strike when the opponent is weak, go for the kill!
Without hesitation, Su Lin followed up with a second strike, this time unleashing ten levels of power without reserve!
The Skin Lock Martial Artist’s full body strength concentrated on the saber, glinting silver briefly, almost leaving a trail!
Slash!
The blade hacked into the snake’s body, crashing down with massive inertia! The python’s head and a significant part of its torso severed!
Su Lin remained vigilant!
Propelling forcefully from his feet, he dashed behind the still-twitching snake head, gripping the saber’s hilt in reverse, plunging it downward with determined force!
Stab!
The icy blade tip instantly pierced through the snake’s mouth, pinning it firmly into the ground.
Only now did Su Lin slightly relax his tense nerves.
He drew out the magical slaughter saber from behind his waist, glancing at the snake’s body, now in two parts, then made a mark on the longer section.
A soft white light flashed.
The snake’s body remained still.
“Ah!” Su Lin sighed in disappointment.
Zhao Yaxin picked up the piece of meat from the ground, a barely detectable smile flickering in her cool eyes as she spoke with indifferent tone:
“Don’t be too greedy, this is the norm in the wilderness.”
“It’s all because I was too hasty!” Su Lin lamented, waving the saber in his hand, “I must’ve forgotten to perform my prayer ritual earlier!”
“Heh.” Even someone with Zhao Yaxin’s cool personality was amused by his serious demeanor.
Su Lin, momentarily preoccupied, watched her fleeting smile.
When sis smiles, it’s truly like the first thaw of winter, captivating and stirring the heart.
