Main Character:

Shen Yao

With the death of the Mutant Man-eating Vine, the puppets controlled within the Shelter all exploded one after another.

Since Shen Chengyi went out specifically to solve problems, and the interior of the Shelter was also a key focus, the Official had long since deployed its personnel into the residential area; basically, as soon as something happened, an Ability User would arrive within half a minute.

Despite this, losses in the residential area were still great, and many people were injured or killed because they did not react in time; however, the benefit was also very obvious, because this sudden explosion caused casualties to be concentrated among family members and relatives, rather than like previous explosions at specific locations where the dead were all elderly people and children.

Shen Yao naturally heard the explosion sounds, and one was even very close to where she lived.

Thanks to the technological building protection measures, the explosion caused no harm to the building, though some timid people were frightened, and it also gave certain pickpockets an opportunity.

'Tsk tsk tsk, they can still strike at a time like this; it seems Official management isn't strict.'

After watching the liveliness, the system ran over to complain to the Host; fortunately, it was just a system, and even though it came and went in a hurry, it didn't waste time, otherwise Shen Yao would have worried whether the system could hold up.

'How is it outside?'

'Of course it was resolved smoothly,' otherwise the puppets inside the Shelter couldn't have suddenly exploded.

The system marveled at how capable Shen Chengyi was; it had thought both sides would be deadlocked for a while, but Shen Chengyi pulled a dark move to secretly cross the warehouse and directly took down the Mutant Man-eating Vine.

The Mutant Man-eating Vine still had some strength, especially its poison mist, which was used to perfection; the system had been by Shen Chengyi's side for some time and still couldn't quite understand it, one could only say the Host chose people too authoritatively, and it was winning effortlessly.

Not paying attention to this overly gleeful system, Shen Yao stood at the doorway, listening intently to the sounds outside.

The explosion occurred on an upper floor; as an Ability User, Shen Yao had good hearing and could also know the current situation upstairs.

'At a time like this, arguing over compensation, shouldn't they be doing their best to save people?'

The system appeared again with a clatter, its voice sounding somewhat doubtful.

'The progress of technology requires clear means; with current development, even if these people were saved, they couldn't live normally—this would have been impossible before the End of Days, let alone now in an End of Days that is constantly evolving...' Would they keep dragging others down? No matter how strong one's ability, they couldn't turn things around.

Shen Yao raised a hand and pointed to her head, 'Rather than saving them and dragging down the family, it's better to exchange for solid points, so the family can live better.'

Ability Users weren't omnipotent; an explosion occurring in a small range—one could imagine how great the intensity would be.

Even Ability Users couldn't withstand such an explosion, let alone unprepared Ordinary People; whether considered rationally or from the perspective of self-interest, it was very normal for those people upstairs to make such a choice.

'Host, what about you?'

'I wouldn't let things come to this,' besides, this kind of talk where one speaks easily without bearing the pain could only be said by strangers; if it happened to oneself, few could accept it stably.

No longer discussing these miscellaneous topics with the system, Shen Yao left the doorway and returned to her room.

On the other side, the swirling dark green mist began to slowly disperse; the members of the Elite Squad stood in place, turning to look at a figure not far away.

Shen Chengyi walked back with light steps, holding a Long Blade in her hand, while the Crystal Core of the Mutant Man-eating Vine had long been collected.

'Captain'

'Captain'

The members of the Elite Squad, regardless of what they were thinking at the moment, all wore expressions of excitement on the surface; after all, the Mutant Man-eating Vine had been smoothly resolved, and their Official Mission could be considered completed.

'Mm, the Mutant Man-eating Vine is dead; report to the Official, we'll return later.'

Shen Chengyi signaled the communicator in the Elite Squad to report the relevant news quickly; at the same time, she threw the Crystal Core she had put in her Backpack to the others—this was proof of the Mutant Man-eating Vine's death; even though Shen Chengyi really wanted that Crystal Core, she still had to turn it in first before applying.

The members of the Elite Squad did not refute Shen Chengyi's words; they walked back from the site where the mist had dissipated, and some were already looking forward to the upcoming harvest session.

It was well known that after completing an external mission, they had a certain amount of time to fill their pockets; especially since Mutant Creatures each had their own territory divisions, and as Mutant Creatures within a territory died, the produce of that territory would belong to the victorious side.

The Mutant Man-eating Vine's taste was rather special; its territory's specialty products were related to those corpses.

Besides that, there were also some scattered, uncollected Crystal Cores in the Mutant Man-eating Vine's territory.

Shen Chengyi told the one reporting back to the Official to wait a bit, precisely to give the Elite Squad some time.

'Quick battle, quick end; the Mutant Man-eating Vine is dead; new Mutant Creatures will be born here sooner or later.'

Shen Chengyi turned to look at the environment that had long since become unrecognizable, thinking to herself that she didn't know how long it would take to erase the traces of today.

Fortunately, they were the ultimate victors; even if another creature not weaker than the Mutant Man-eating Vine appeared, it could be deterred for a while.

The members of the Elite Squad rushed toward the deep pit blasted out by thunder.

Some jumped in to search, some searched around, and others kept digging downward along the traces, trying to find what they needed from within.

The territory of the Mutant Man-eating Vine was vast; basically, human or animal corpses appeared everywhere; some of these corpses had signs of evolution, and Crystal Cores and other items naturally remained within their bodies.

As expected, the Elite Squad gained something; the person who jumped into the deep pit found several small Crystal Cores, which bore a unique light and shadow and could be exchanged at the Shelter for many special points.

Happily putting the Crystal Cores into their Backpacks to preserve them, everyone's confidence was boosted again; they seriously searched through the corpses before them, showing not the slightest expression of disgust.

After all, evolution had been going on for so long; Ability Users who chose to go out and complete missions had seen everything; a few corpses could not frighten them at all.

Moreover, the corpses had no aggressiveness; compared to Mutant Creatures, they were who knows how many times safer; anyway, the members of the Elite Squad felt fortunate in their hearts; although they couldn't get most of the rewards given by the Official when going out with Shen Chengyi, the extra harvest was still very tempting; besides, they themselves were not injured, nor did they face danger directly—they truly hoped such a good thing would happen again next time.

'Stop dreaming; the Captain is strong, and the Official has plenty of people wanting to cooperate;' they didn't easily get this opportunity, and they still dared to hope to continue afterward.

'You, don't you want it in your heart?' someone retorted in a low voice.

'Wanting is useless; we all have to listen to the Official's arrangements;' it was highly likely they wouldn't be allowed to keep following Shen Chengyi; the benefits definitely had to be divided equally—after all, one person taking too much would attract attention.

The squad members were not all of one mind; most of them had their own little schemes, bickering with each other while searching for things, until there were no more targets to search for around them, and only then did they choose to leave.

Shen Chengyi sat at the edge to rest, holding the communication device she had just received news from the Official on.

The content was simple; besides the reward for completing their mission nearly a year ago, there was also the explosion and chaos that occurred within the Shelter; this was unavoidable; she couldn't let the Mutant Man-eating Vine go just for these people; who knew if next time she could still resolve it cleanly and decisively.

The members of the Elite Squad returned one after another; Shen Chengyi saw this, stood up, and dusted off her clothes; there were no other mission arrangements next, so they naturally had to return to the Shelter.

The Crystal Core that Shen Chengyi had handed to the squad member was chosen by the Official for recycling; of course, Shen Chengyi received her own mission reward.

The members of the Elite Squad tacitly gave up the vast majority of the benefits, taking only a few points and Potions; plus the Crystal Cores they had collected at the Mutant Man-eating Vine, overall they didn't lose out.

Some people laughed and chatted with Shen Chengyi to build a relationship; regardless of whether it was useful or not, who knew if they could team up again next time; who would refuse benefits delivered right to their door for free.

Shen Chengyi gave no promises regarding this; in her view, some words, once spoken, neither side would believe; it was better to just tacitly not mention it, regardless of whether there would be such an opportunity in the future.

Holding the reward given by the Official, Shen Chengyi carried her bulging backpack along the wide road back to her Residence.

Shen Chengyu and Shen Chengning had not returned yet; they were also Official Ability Users who completed designated missions arranged by the Official at intervals. Besides that, they could also go out on their own to complete missions provided by the Official. Those missions varied in difficulty, but the rewards were quite good, and only Official Ability Users could accept them.

Shen Yao smiled as she brought out the prepared dishes from the Kitchen and placed them on the table. From the explosion inside the Shelter to Shen Chengyi's safe return had taken less than half a day, showing how strong Shen Chengyi's Capability was.

Pa

Placing the backpack she was holding onto a Chair, Shen Chengyi indicated that the rewards given by the Official were mostly Special Crystal Cores. Shen Chengyi currently did not lack Crystal Cores to digest; Shen Chengyu and Shen Chengning's abilities were more conventional, so using Special Crystal Cores would be a Waste. These Crystal Cores were more suitable for Shen Yao to use.

Strengthening mental abilities sounded simple but was not such an easy path. Shen Chengyi did not want to Entangle Shen Yao in Official matters, so she simply used herself as an Excuse to accept Special Crystal Cores as rewards through Mission acceptance.

Although doing this was somewhat circuitous and could easily lead the Official to misunderstand, and some might even think Special Crystal Cores could be used to Pinch Shen Chengyi—perhaps believing Shen Chengyi's strong Evolution was related to these Special Crystal Cores—they privately chose to Secretly Contact Shen Chengyi to achieve their own purposes.

Since entering the Official and becoming part of the Shelter, Shen Chengyi had seen too many self-righteous ideas, which further Firmly resolved her not to drag Shen Yao in. Although Shen Yao was not someone to be slaughtered at will, staying long-term in an environment of intrigue was extremely damaging to both body and mind.

Shen Yao now chose to stay at Home and not go out often, accepting Shen Chengyi's kindness. She smiled as she opened the backpack Shen Chengyi had brought back and collected the Special Crystal Cores inside into her Space.

There were still many such Special Crystal Cores in her Space. Since mental ability Evolution was relatively slow, using Special Crystal Cores would be more Effective than ordinary Crystal Cores. Not only did Shen Chengyi request Special Crystal Cores for Shen Yao through missions, but Shen Chengyu and Shen Chengning also inquired about such information while Going on Missions. All three were Busy for Shen Yao's ability Improvement.

The System felt its Host was truly capable—not only completing missions beautifully, but also doing her best for the child. Unlike its other previous Hosts, who could not grasp the key points and could only suffocate themselves to death in frustration.

Indeed, in the System's view, its several previous Hosts' deaths were nothing to boast about. Put nicely, they were Fragile and could not endure pressure; put bluntly, they lacked judgment and liked high Difficulty.

"So I am the Host you are Satisfied with?" Shen Yao revealed a faint smile at the corner of her lips, fleeting in an instant.

"Of course, the Host is simply born to eat this bowl of rice," the System praised Shen Yao shamelessly, stating that every world mission they had completed was above the standard line, and the Host never slacked off, being its best Partner.

Shen Yao:...

"You're an Artificial Intelligence, and you understand 'best Partner'?" She was just a passerby; the System would find more Hosts later. She could not be considered very smart—it could only be said that it Coincidentally happened.

Even Shen Yao did not know how long she could persist. Her Gaze fixed on a spot until her vision became Wandering, and as the lost Focus returned, her burning thoughts also returned to normal.

Life in the Shelter was full of novelty. After the Mutant Man-eating Vine died, everyone felt this kind of explosive attack would temporarily fail, and the Official no longer Restricted others from entering and leaving the Forest. But a new problem appeared.

"Parasitic Creature?"

Shen Chengyu pinched a pitch-black little Worm, no bigger than a grain of Rice. Lying on a person's head, it could hardly be seen, yet this kind of little Worm was very dangerous—it could bite open a person's head with its mouthparts.

The Shelter had already discovered several death cases of people whose Brains had been eaten dry. Without exception, their heads had a particularly hard-to-find hole.

Shen Chengning pinched her Chin. "This kind of Brain-eating Worm is hard to bite through an Ability User's head," because the mouthpart strength was insufficient and would be sensed by the Ability User.

Dealing with this kind of Brain-eating Worm was also easy; ordinary Insecticide could be Effective. If still not Rest assured, one could also spend points to buy Official specially-made Insecticide to apply, and the Brain-eating Worm would die Directly.

However, because of the appearance of Brain-eating Worms, far fewer people went to the wild recently. But this kind of Worm would not Disappear just because you did not go out. They grew Wings and could Appear inside the Shelter.

This Brain-eating Worm caught by Shen Chengyu was a Slipped Through the Net that had been crouching in the Corner of her own Wall.

"Evolution is mutual. Just because it can't bite through today doesn't mean it can't bite through tomorrow." The Brain-eating Worm only looked Weak. Once it Mutated and Evolved again later, perhaps even Ability Users' heads could not be preserved.

The two sisters simply used their abilities to conduct various experiments on the Brain-eating Worm. Unfortunately, the Brain-eating Worm's body was too Fragile; before they could torment it much, it went Yi Ming Hu Hu.

However, being able to find one in the Corner of the room meant there were still Brain-eating Worms in the room. The two turned the whole room upside down and gained an Abundant Harvest.
