Chapter 20: Drugging
The Giantization Fruit holds significant value. Although it only mutates in the second version update, its preciousness lies in harvesting it early—it will still mutate into Giantization Fruit when the second version refreshes.The difficulty of obtaining Giantization Fruit in the first version is completely different from obtaining it in the second version!
During the early first version, the only dangers outside were zombies. With careful movement and some luck, ordinary people could travel from the residential complex to the future Star Lake Shopping Plaza.
The second version was different. Global mutation occurred, and all living beings on Blue Star received major enhancements. Without awakening powerful special abilities, it was extremely difficult to pass through the streets and reach the future Star Lake Shopping Plaza.
In the future, Yang Taozi could consume the Giantization Fruit. Li Xuan believed Yang Taozi must have left the residential complex before the version refresh and was near the future Star Lake Shopping Plaza when the version refreshed, thus obtaining this opportunity of the Giantization Fruit.
"Of course I've been there. Being a homebody means going out less and preferring to stay at home, not never going out at all. I go every time there's a comic convention. The braised chicken rice on the third floor tastes pretty good, and there's the crab stew and spicy hot pot on the fourth floor. The popcorn from the fifth-floor movie theater is delicious with a strong milky flavor." Yun Xiuzhi said with great enthusiasm.
It wasn't hard to guess that she was already fantasizing about the flavors of those foods in her mind.
Li Xuan nodded. "Good that you've been there. Tomorrow morning, go to the future Star Lake Shopping Plaza. Look for three apricot trees in the outside greenbelt area, pick all the apricots from them, and bring them back."
He didn't plan to go out and pick them himself. The Giant Beast transformation was powerful but not invincible—encountering a zombie horde would still lead to infection.
Yun Xiuzhi could fly, making the air relatively safer. Making multiple trips would allow her to bring back the unmuted Giantization Fruits.
It wasn't apricot ripening season yet. The apricots were still small and relatively light, something Yun Xiuzhi's pigeon transformation could carry.
Yun Xiuzhi broke free from Li Xuan's large hand and looked at him. "It's about five kilometers from here to the future Star Lake Shopping Plaza, right? Flying there and bringing back the apricots—one trip definitely won't be enough. I'll be exhausted to death."
"I'll make you something delicious when you return." This time, Li Xuan was sending Yun Xiuzhi out because he considered that when he ambushed Scar, he had released Yun Xiuzhi and had her cooperate with him, and she didn't run away.
The previous time was testing whether Yun Xiuzhi would run. Confirming she wouldn't escape naturally meant putting her to work.
"I want to eat french fries."
"You've been rummaging through the fridge."
Yun Xiuzhi embarrassedly scratched her wing with her claw. "Hehe, a few pieces fill me up. One bag of frozen fries is enough for me to eat for several days."
"Fine, I'll fry you some french fries." Li Xuan nodded in agreement.
"Yay! I get to eat french fries!" Yun Xiuzhi happily bounced up and down.
rate concrete walls and thin steel plates—piercing through a peephole wouldn't be a problem.
The nail gun definitely couldn't directly headshot like a handgun. His goal was to blind one of Li Xuan's eyeballs and make him infected.
After Li Xuan was injured, if he dared come out, Yang Taozi was confident he could handle him.
Knock knock knock~
Yang Taozi knocked on the door. After a moment, footsteps approached.
He said in a low voice, "Brother Li Xuan, I drugged Yun Lan. She's waiting for you in her room. Give me some food, and I'll take you to her."
