"No mission records? Then why did he go out? Has anyone found out?"
Ning Yu asked.
"No, he's always been a lone wolf," Ji Mengyao shook her head gently.
"Wasn't he supposed to have gone to Industrial City? Without a mission, how did anyone know where he went?"
Ning Yu recalled another question.
"Because everyone has to report their destination at the gate when leaving," Ji Mengyao answered.
"He seemed quite familiar with you, didn't he? Didn't he want to invite you for drinks?"
Ning Yu remembered that when she was still in the car that day, Wan Heng had seemingly invited her for drinks.
"That's because Wu Di and I rescued both him and his sister, that's how we got to know each other," Ji Mengyao sighed somewhat helplessly.
"I see."
There were no conclusions yet, but something felt suspicious no matter how you looked at it.
"Well, you all get some rest. We'll continue investigating this matter~"
Ji Mengyao had only stopped by to tell Ning Yu these things, so she prepared to take her leave.
Ning Yu pondered to herself, planning to ask Lin Hao to investigate when she gave him the serum they'd obtained this time. She felt that there was more to this situation than met the eye.
Back in the apartment living room, Shen Yiyue was sitting on the sofa, eating snacks for dinner.
Ning Yu went over to sit beside her, taking out some food from her system space.
"Yu, what did she say?"
Shen Yiyue had just finished showering, her face still flushed from the hot water, her black hair already dried by Ning Yu with a hairdryer.
Of course, Ning Yu's hair had also been dried by her with the hairdryer.
The two sat together on the sofa, leaning against each other, with the lingering fresh scent of shampoo surrounding them.
Ning Yu's blue chiffon dress was off-shoulder, similar in style to Shen Yiyue's dress, except Shen Yiyue's was light pink.
Ning Yu shamelessly grabbed a chip from Shen Yiyue's bag and popped it into her mouth.
She then proceeded to recount her conversation with Ji Mengyao.
"This situation is really strange, and I wonder how his sister is doing, since they said she was sick..."
Shen Yiyue sighed softly but tried not to dwell on it.
These matters weren't something they could interfere with too much, after all, it was someone else's personal business.
Ning Yu didn't say anything more, reaching out to grab a second chip.
"Hey, Yu, you have to pay for eating my chips!"
Seeing Ning Yu stealing her chips again, Shen Yiyue pretended to be stingy and started bargaining with her.
"Oh? How much?"
Ning Yu heard her words but remained completely unfazed, even becoming more brazen by grabbing several chips at once.
"Anyway, I don't have money."
She shifted her silver hair slightly and leaned against Shen Yiyue, putting her delicate feet up on the sofa, assuming a very comfortable position.
"Hmph, no money? If you don't have money, you'll have to offer yourself as payment. Don't you understand such a simple principle?"
Shen Yiyue even directly handed over several chips, holding them near Ning Yu's mouth.
Ning Yu didn't stand on ceremony and bit them right away.
"Offer myself? Last time, someone got so shy they nearly turned into a kettle."
At the mention of the kettle, Shen Yiyue immediately thought of that time at Tianshen Elementary School.
She suddenly became flustered, her heart racing, her eyes darting around, her previous little devil attitude disappearing instantly.
"W-what? A-anyway... I'll dare to do it again next time!"
"Miss Shen Yiyue, you're starting to stutter."
Ning Yu finished the chips she had just been given and started working on her own strawberry cheese wafer cookies.
Shen Yiyue caught sight of what Ning Yu was about to eat and mimicked her earlier actions.
She reached out with her delicate fingers, grabbed a cookie, and ran off with it, putting it in her mouth.
"Mmm... eating someone else's food just tastes better~"
She had a mischievous look as she prepared to raid Ning Yu's strawberry wafer cookies again.
Ning Yu completely ignored her, letting her take whatever she wanted.
"Be careful when you eat, don't get cookie crumbs on the sofa."
She casually reminded her, crunching on the sweet cookies.
Shen Yiyue also lay down on the sofa, adopting the same position as Ning Yu, their black and silver hair intertwining closely.
The cookies seemed to taste even sweeter.
Regarding Shen Yiyue's actions, Ning Yu didn't react much, but suddenly remembered something. She casually opened her system panel.
She wanted to check the rewards she had gotten from killing Wrath.
Besides those points, there were new immune capsules and storage space exchanges.
She opened the [Special] section in the mall.
[Intermediate T-virus Immune Capsule (6 hours): Points*1000]
[Prevents T-virus infection through blood and air transmission for 6 hours]
[Only effective against intermediate and lower T-virus (including all variants), can be used repeatedly, maximum 2 times per day. (Ineffective on already infected individuals)]
[Storage Space (Intermediate): Points*12000]
[Can store non-system items, space is 8 cubic meters, can be taken out and stored at any time.]
Compared to the lower-grade immune capsule, the intermediate grade's duration had doubled from 3 hours to 6 hours.
Although the points cost had increased from 500 to 1000, it was a reasonable increase.
Ning Yu looked at her points column, which now showed [18021] points, a historical high.
She casually exchanged for an immune capsule and held it in her hand.
This time the capsule wasn't blue but light gold, with the same T letter indented into it.
Ning Yu remembered the U letter printed on the awakening potion and wondered why they didn't use the same letter - perhaps they weren't made by the same manufacturer?
As for the storage space, it required 12000 points, but the space had increased from 2 cubic meters to 8 cubic meters, a fourfold increase.
She could afford to purchase it now, but Ning Yu wanted to be greedy.
Firstly, now that she was living in the Ark Base apartment, many things didn't need to be stored in the storage space and could be kept in the room directly.
Secondly, if she could wait for another half-price opportunity, she could save 6000 points. There was no rush anyway.
So Ning Yu decided not to exchange for the storage space for now, since there was no time limit.
After closing the system panel, Ning Yu took out several bottles of liquid, four were colorless and transparent, and two were light gold.
Among the four colorless transparent bottles, two had labels with Ning Yu and Shen Yiyue's names - those had been purified by the Ark research group.
The other two bottles were from the recent mission, obtained from killing Lust.
These two bottles of unpurified lower-grade T-virus serum and two bottles of light gold unpurified intermediate T-virus serum, Ning Yu planned to give to Lin Hao separately.
Now, she was preparing to try the already purified T-virus serum to see exactly what effect it had.
However, to be safe, they had Shen Yiyue send Shen Qianqian back to her room.
Shen Qianqian was very reluctant to be stuffed back into the room; she had wanted to continue watching the two sisters' intimate moments.
"I'll try it first. If nothing happens to me, then you can drink it."
Ning Yu had [Death Resistance] anyway, so even if drinking it caused any problems, she wouldn't have to worry.
"Yu... this was extracted from zombies... it feels so gross to drink..."
Shen Yiyue wrinkled her cute nose, pouting her lips in apparent disgust.
