If you want to survive the blood moon safely, you must either be strong enough to kill all invading enemies.
Either carefully build fortifications, use the terrain to trap the monsters, and then clean them up.
Or... hide underground where the bloody moonlight cannot reach, and wait for the next day's sunshine.
"If this were in the world of Terraria, I could still handle it."
"But in Bed Master City..."
Su Ye frowned, as if he foresaw the scene of thousands of zombies with red eyes drowning him.
Even if he was wearing a jungle suit and holding a super-thermal ion cannon, he would not be able to deal with enemies of this magnitude.
But that doesn't mean the Blood Moon is all bad news.
The most important point is that the blood moon brings new enemies.
There will be new loot too!
For example, one of the few defense-reducing accessories is the shark tooth necklace.
As well as the early summoning artifact, the Vampire Frog Staff.
Especially when the "Disaster" module is enabled, monsters killed during the Blood Moon will drop "Blood Pearls"!
This is an extremely versatile material.
Simply put...it can replace any herb to make potions!
As long as he has enough "blood beads", Su Ye will have endless supply of enhancement potions!
Even in the later stages, the enhancement potions made from blood beads are quite useful and can be considered a necessity for exploration, adventure, and challenging powerful enemies!
"It seems that I must go to this bed owner city."
"If necessary, we must also establish a base in this world to fight against the Blood Moon."
Su Ye looked at the time ratio between the Apocalypse World and the Main World, which was also 2:1.
This means that in the main world, a blood moon will appear in the city a little over three days later.
If managed properly, this will become a Feng Shui treasure land for Su Ye to harvest "Blood Pearl" materials!
"Lily, I'm going to a new world next."
Before leaving, Su Ye asked the dwarf girl who was cleaning the shop.
“There may be some danger.”
"Are you coming with me, or staying in Orario?"
"I……"
Hearing this question, Lily hesitated for a moment and then answered decisively.
"I want to explore the new world with my master...is that okay?"
"Well... since you want to come, then come."
Su Ye did not refuse. After all, with Lily by his side, it would be convenient for him to replenish supplies.
He can only use the "Shop" function when he is within a certain range of Lily.
"But this world may be very different from Orario."
"Remember to listen to me when the time comes, and don't run around."
Lily nodded vigorously and seriously, her eyes sparkling with joyful anticipation.
"Lily will be obedient and will never cause trouble for the master!"
"very good."
After setting permissions for Lily, Su Ye took her little hand and spoke softly.
"Close your eyes, we'll be there soon."
Bed host city, international airport.
As an island city, there are only two ways for Bedzhu City to connect with the outside world: plane or ship.
The international airport is the only large airport in the city, handling almost 90% of the flights.
Therefore, after the entire city fell into chaos due to the outbreak of the zombie crisis.
This place also became the only choice for dignitaries and celebrities to escape.
But for an airplane to take off, it needs a clean, unobstructed runway.
With zombies constantly attacking the airport, someone has to clean up the zombies and cover their retreat.
Minami Rika was a member of the rearguard team.
However, she had lost contact with her superiors 24 hours ago.
"...Tsk."
The wheat-skinned ace sniper smacked his lips in dissatisfaction.
The noise on the intercom seemed to mock her situation.
"Supplies are exhausted, ammunition is less than two magazines, and all teammates are dead..."
"Is this the reward for being loyal to orders?"
Minami Rika cursed as she threw the walkie-talkie to the ground and stepped on it into pieces with her boots covered in flesh.
"Shit army!"
She knew very well that her team had been abandoned by their superiors since the last passenger plane took off from the airport.
It's just that she has been holding on to the fantasy that "maybe someone will come to support her" and has persisted until now.
Unfortunately, her partner didn't make it.
To prevent teammates from turning into monsters like those zombies.
Minami Rika executed the other person with her own hands, allowing him to die as a human being.
Now...she might be the only living person left in the entire airport.
However, there were hundreds of those neither living nor dead monsters, blocking the corner where she was hiding.
"Beep...beep..."
"The user you dialed has turned off his phone."
After failing to contact her friends via mobile phone, Minami Rika helplessly lit up her last ladies' cigarette and looked up at the sky.
"I wonder how Shizuka is doing now."
"With her style, even if she turns into a zombie, she will probably fall flat on her face, right?"
Just as Minami Rika threw away her cigarette butt and was ready to die together with the zombies outside.
Suddenly, the sound of fighting was heard not far away!
"Anyone else?"
Realizing this, a hint of joy of seeing hope appeared on Minami Rika's face.
Given a choice, no one wants to die—especially at the hands of zombies.
"Go out and take a look at the situation."
However, the next moment, two strange balls of light flew in from nowhere accompanied by a sharp "sizzling" sound.
The high-temperature particle cloud formed after the expansion instantly burned a large number of zombies into ashes.
At the same time, the bunker where Minami Rika was hiding was destroyed, revealing her face full of astonishment.
Among the corpses scattered all over the ground, a young man wearing strange armor slowly turned his head and gave her a scrutinizing look.
For some reason...Minami Rika felt as if the other person had known her for a long time.
Because there was no strangeness in that gaze, but instead it was filled with the emotion of "it's you after all".
"Hello, Ms. Minami Rika."
Su Ye carried the super thermal ion cannon on his shoulder and asked from a distance.
"Are you willing to sign a contract with me?"
Chapter 31: Arms Dealer Minami Rika
"Contract...what are you talking about?"
Although the other party saved her, out of professional habit, Minami Rika remained vigilant.
Of course, at this moment she was more confused.
Because the young man in front of him seemed to be full of secrets.
"You can think of it as a 'mercenary' contract."
After thinking about it, Su Ye changed the description to one that was easier to understand.
After all, this is a modern society, and there is no such thing as magic or gods.
"…Do I have the right to refuse?"
Minami Rika asked tentatively.
Her eyes inadvertently swept over the super thermal ion cannon in Su Ye's hand.
This should be the thing that caused the amazing explosion just now.
But there is no way to tell what type of weapon it is from the outside.
"Unfortunately, you didn't."
Su Ye shrugged and spoke bluntly.
"Even if you refuse, I will sign a contract with you in an unpleasant way."
"So... I suggest you reduce unnecessary trouble from the beginning."
Hearing this answer, the beautiful wheat-skinned special police officer smiled bitterly and shook her head.
"Okay, I knew it."
"What do I need to do? Sign an employment contract on the spot?"
To be honest, she had a good impression of Su Ye.
After all, she was ready to die together with those zombies.
But this handsome young hero showed up and saved the day.
If the other party wants to play some pretend mercenary game... I'll just join in.
Minami Rika believed that with her own strength, she would definitely be able to find a way to escape.
"Contract? No need."
Seeing that the other party agreed, Su Ye smiled.
“You just have to accept the call from your heart.”
"Varied……"
Nan Lixiang raised her eyebrows and realized that something was wrong.
By the time she reacted, a large amount of information had already flooded into her mind, impacting her memory.
After a moment, Nan Lixiang looked at Su Ye with complicated eyes.
She now understood what kind of "job" she had agreed to.
"I didn't expect this to be the true face of the 'contract'."
"I've said that from the beginning."
Su Ye said as he clicked on Nan Lixiang's contract information.
"If you are not used to calling me master, you can call me 'boss'... Oh? You have some pretty good skills."
