Chapter 45: CH 44

The system didn’t evade this time but calmly replied, “This world is real, and the host is facing reality.”

Hao Jian suddenly laughed, leaning to believe the system a little for once.

“And what’s the lottery? You didn’t mention it at all before. It’s not like it’s a hidden mission that would a that would appear after a trigger, would it?”

“The system does not have the authority to actively mention it. There are ten prizes in the reward pool for achieving the achievement title and the lottery draws random rewards from the reward pool.”

Hao Jian didn’t know how many permissions were set by the central system and on what basis were they set on.

However, she remembered that the missions that the system had previously mentioned were ‘daily missions’ and ‘reward missions’. She wondered if they weren’t actually missions at all, but a name of an activity. The number of days of survival, killing zombies, etc, can all be considered as daily missions, right?

What about reward missions? It said reward, so it wouldn’t be too difficult to complete. . .

Hao Jian suddenly turned to look at Lian Ru Ning thinking, ‘Isn’t the so-called kiss and deep soul communication a reward mission?’

“The host is correct.” The system responded, “The host was not very interested in using the system before, so system number 2018 wasn’t so willing to explain so much, anyway, the host is not interested.”

Hao Jian didn’t pay attention to it, but pondered, “Main mission, side missions, daily missions, reward missions, hidden missions, and achievement missions. Based on my experience in playing games for many years, there shouldn’t be any other missions. If I’m right, the side missions are definitely related to the main missions and they won’t trigger before I complete the main mission, right?”

The system didn’t say anything and Hao Jian knew she was right. She didn’t pursue the topic of the system permissions, but asked, “What are the ten prizes?”

“A pack of spicy strips, a set of adult suit, a delicate Tang knife-“

Hao Jian immediately stopped it, “What’s and adult set? The Tang knife in the weapons section is only about 50 points. Don’t tell me, everything in the prize pool are cheap products?”

“Hmph, the exquisite Tang knife in the prize pool is not for sale!” The system proudly said.

Hao Jian took a closer look at the Tang knife in the weapons section, and the word ‘exquisite’ was indeed not included.

“Exquisite Tang knife. Can it cut zombies like cutting tofu?” Hao Jian asked again.

“No, but it’s workmanship is very exquisite.”

“In other words, it’s an ornamental piece?”

“Host, how can you describe it with such vulgar words? It’s an exquisite ornamental piece!”

“. . . okay.” She can probably guess what the remaining prizes are.

“Why do you have the authority to tell me what’s inside the prize pool?”

The system answered, “Because our lottery principle is fair, just, open, and transparent. After informing the rewards in the prize pool, the host won’t be allowed to think that there’s something going on behind the scenes. The remaining rewards are; 50 experience, 100 experience, 200 experience, 100 points, 500 points, 1000 points, and a gift package.”

Unexpectedly, the following rewards were a little normal, “Then let’s start the lottery!”

After she finished speaking, there was no sound effect like a wheel turning. The system simply announced directly, “Congratulations to the host for winning the exquisite Tang knife!”

After a while, the system didn’t hear any special reaction from Hao Jian, so it asked, “The host dislikes it so much, are you angry?”

Hao Jian replied, “Why should I be angry? Although I am a little disappointed, I don’t know when I’ll get another achievement title. Instead of hoping to get something good, it’s netter to focus on the main task. The rewards given by the main missions will never be bad, right?!”

System, ‘Why is this host always so calm that the comforting speech I’ve prepared are always wasted?’

After a couple of kilometers around the county, the view opened up again and there were no roadblocks because the houses on both sides were relatively sparse.

“That’s the Weilong House, right?” Xin Ting pointed to the uniquely shaped building behind the scattered houses.

“Yes, it’s very popular in this area. There were originally surrounding dragon houses in some places in Jiang City, but they were demolished for various reasons.” Peng Mao said.

The house they saw was semi-circular, with high walls and only a small window left above so they couldn’t peek what was inside from outside.

They didn’t plan to stop and take a look but they went straight through the county road next to it and continued westward.

The rain came pouring down at this time and the window on the driver’s seat had already been sealed with something, but it still couldn’t stop the rain from pouring in. Hao Jian’s left leg soon got soaked.

“The rain is getting heavier and it’s getting harder to see the road conditions ahead. It’s too dangerous. Let’s find a place to stay first!” Lian Ru Ning said.

Although Hao Jian has a system map, this map cannot show her the road conditions. In such low visibility conditions, if she drives too fast, the tires will easily slip and cause accidents, and if she drive too slow, they will be easily attached by zombies. Not to mention that because of the heavy rain, there will be some violent winds. No matter how they look at it, driving in such conditions is very risky.

“There seems to be a single-family villa there!” Peng Mao pointed to their right front.

Although it’s difficult to see the road conditions at a distance of 100 meters away, they can still vaguely see a villa with a separate yard that doesn’t look small to their right.

In addition, there’s a spacious avenue right in front of it, as if telling them, “It’s your loss if you don’t drive this way.” Since it’s so inviting, Hao Jian also can not, not go there.

“What if someone’s inside?” Lian Ru Ning asked.

“Spend the night and leave when the rain stops.”

“What if they won’t let us?”

Hao Jian pondered for a moment, “I’m not a good person anyway. It’s okay to be a bandit for once!”

When they got closer to the villa’s courtyard, they found that the gate had long been demolished and the large courtyard was renovated to look like a European-style courtyard – with grass, flowerbeds, and street lamps.

The villa is three stories high and the decoration style is exactly the same as the courtyard – European style.

However, the place was as if it had been robbed. The garage was empty, the glass windows on the first floor were broken, and a lot of miscellaneous things were thrown on the ground.

“Will there be people here?” Lian Ru Ning couldn’t help but wonder.

“Be careful.” Hao Jian said as she parked the car not far from the entrance of the villa so that they could evacuate to the car in time to escape.

Most of them didn’t have umbrellas so they could only grab their weapons, put on their backpacks and moved towards the door while looking around.

Suddenly, a figure wobbled in the garage and let out a cry that was familiar to Hao Jian and the others before running towards them. But before it could go any further, it was blocked by a flowerbed and its body lurched forward and fell on the grass.

The zombie that fell to the ground tried to get up several times but couldn’t, so it had no other choice but to crawl towards Hao Jian and the others.

“. . . . ..” The four of them have never seen such a dumb zombie.

“You guys go open the door, I’ll take care of this first.” Hao Jian said.

Lian Ru Ning went to try and open the door while Peng Mao and Xin Ting paid attention to their surroundings vigilantly. But what they didn’t expect was that the door was actually unlocked and that it opened with a push.

This made them a little uneasy, wondering if there are zombies hidden inside. Because of the heavy rain outside, the inside of the house was a little dim. The furniture was covered with white cloth, but there were broken picture frames, broken vases, and rotten fruits scattered on the floor. . .

This situation reminded them of a horror story like, ‘a group of people trapped in a remote abandoned villa on a rainy day, and then a series of strange things happened.’

Both Lian Ru Ning and Xin Ting raised their heads, wishing that the back of their heads also grew a pair of eyes to help them observe their surroundings. Considering that Peng Mao was a man, they asked him to turn on the switch, but he shrank to their side.

Hao Jian came in from behind and when she saw this, she pushed Peng Mao away, “What are you doing. Taking advantage of the opportunity to make a pass?”

At the same time she spoke, because Peng Mao suddenly jumped out, they all shouted in fright, “Ah, there’s a ghost!”

“. . .” Hao Jian thought that she had suddenly crossed over into the world of horror.

Hao Jian touched the switch and pressed it. The light came as soon as the switch was pressed.

And the three people who were nervous and scared just found out that it was her became relieved in an instant. Fortunately, Hao Jian didn’t loosen her hair to prevent it from being soaked in the rain, otherwise, she would really look like a female ghost.

“What’s going on inside?” Hao Jian asked while wiping away the rain from her face.

The three of them were a little embarrassed. They were just thinking about the horror story and didn’t check out the situation.

Hao Jian shook her head and threw Peng Mao a walkie-talkie, “You keep watch here. If you encounter a zombie, report it immediately.”

She also gave Xin Ting another task, “This villa is a duplex. The structure of the first floor is not complicated, you will check here. If there’s something, talk to Peng Mao and let him relay it to us.”

Finally, she said to Lian Ru Ning, “Let’s go upstairs to investigate. if this door isn’t locked, then maybe the people here left or they might have turned into zombies. Either way, we have to be careful.”

With Hao Jian working together with her, Lian Ru Ning was particularly relieved. She nodded heavily, grabbed her machete and headed upstairs.

Hao Jian touched the handrails of the stairs and found that the dust had been wiped away in some places, as if someone accidentally rubbed it off. She said, “Someone has been here at least recently and I don’t know if these people are gone, so don’t let down your guard.”

With that said, she also touched the gun hidden on her waist.

The second floor of the villa has a very spacious living room. Unlike the first floor, the furniture on the second floor wasn’t covered with cloth, but it was still as empty as the first floor. The furnishings here are basically empty in a sense that most of their broken parts were scattered on the floor.

The southwest side of the living room, that is, the side facing a door towards a large balcony. There’s a room next to the balcony and another room in the northeast. The doors are open but it’s too dark to see anything inside.

Hao Jian took out her flashlight and shone a little towards the room. It turned out that the curtain cloth was pulled up. She thought about it for a little while before deciding to walk over and touched the switch.

After the light came on, the situation inside was much more visible. It was a bedroom with not many furnishings. It seemed more like a guest room. Finding that there were no people or zombies in it, Lian Ru Ning – who was behind Hao Jian – was relieved.

The same is true for the room next to the balcony, only this one looked like the master’s bedroom but the valuables are gone as if it had been looted.

Hao Jian contacted Peng Mao, “Is there anything abnormal on the first floor?”

“No. Xiao-Ring just went to look at the first floor. There’s only a kitchen, dining room, and bathroom. Although there’s still a lot of tableware, they’re the same as the villager’s house we stayed in last time. The food and silverware are gone.”

“There should be no problem here, right?”

Hao Jian glanced at the stairs towards the third floor and said, “Well, let’s go down and meet with them!”

After the two turned off the lights and went down, Lian Ru Ning also told Peng Mao about the situation on the second floor. Seeing that there was nothing unusual here, Peng Mao couldn’t help but say, “I’m going to take a bath, no one stop me!”

It was already awkward for him not to take a bath for several days, but he didn’t expect that he would pee himself after being so scared just now, which made him lose face. He was anxious to get rid of such a despondent image.

“No one is stopping you. Go ahead!” Hao Jian said, “I’ll go outside to patrol.”

Peng Mao went to take a bath while Lian Ru Ning and Xin Ting prepared to cook lunch. It was already after one o’clock and they were already hungry. Their food was canned food given by An Minghui and the others. Although there was only one serving per person, it was the largest amount An Minghui could give them.

“This pot is rusty, how long has it been since you washed it?” Xin Ting asked.

Just then, the lights suddenly dimmed that scared them. They hurriedly touched the switch to check the lights, only to find it useless.

“Is there a power outage? Or is it tripped?”

Lian Ru Ning and Xin Ting didn’t care about cooking and immediately contacted Hao Jian, but they didn’t get a response from her. Their hearts became panicked.

Did something happen to Hao Jian?!
