I got an S-level talent in the apocalypse, and I will lead Blue Star to rise

Chapter 8 Rescue Mission
Ning Yun's parents died when she was very young.

In her memory, the person who stayed with her the longest was her grandfather.

Grandpa is a professor at a well-known university. He always brings little girl with him when he teaches.

But most of the time, she prefers to play with other children.

Xiao Qichen, a neighbor who moved in when she was 7 years old, was always alone.

When she was a child, she was enthusiastic and cheerful and loved making friends. Xiao Qichen was the first friend she made on her own initiative and the one who impressed her the most.

At that time, he spoke in a stiff voice and his whole body was stiff. He was either in class or on the way to class.

But she always dragged Xiao Qichen to skip classes.

While she was climbing the tree, he kept watch for her from under the tree.

While fishing, he helped her watch her shoes on the shore.

She always thought that they were best friends, and they spent nearly seven years like this.

But suddenly one day, Xiao Qichen disappeared without leaving any news.

It was the day before yesterday that Ning Jun contacted him again.

She suddenly received a message on her mobile phone, which contained a lot of precautions about the survival game.

The signature is Xiao Qichen.

"You were chosen too!"

At the beginning, Xiao Qichen asked her to leave a secret code in the chat channel, saying only that it was just in case so that both of them could enter the game and take care of each other.

But she really didn't expect that the other party would actually come.

Could it be that there are more than a thousand players participating in the internal test?
Xiao Qichen stared at her closely, his throat tightening unconsciously for a moment, and after a long pause he replied, "Yeah."

He had so many things to say, but when he saw Ning Jun appear in front of him, he couldn't say a word.

In the cave, a breeze blew, and Ning Jun felt a chill and shrank his neck.

She put the dagger away and couldn't help rubbing her arms.

"It's so cold here, let's talk somewhere else."

But Xiao Qichen's response was to take off his windbreaker and put it on her.

"Put it on."

Ning Jun was stunned. "Your voice."

Xiao Qichen was only one year older than her, but his voice sounded like sandpaper rubbing against the ground, even hoarser than that of an old man.

It was as if we hadn't spoken for a long time.

But now was not the right time to ask him. The two walked out of the cave and came to the outside, facing a vast grassland.

The yellow sand, the withered grass, the dead trees, made her feel depressed. It was as if she and Xiao Qichen were the only two living things in this vast grassland, and everything else was dead.

"What on earth is this copy for? I don't seem to have received any quests."

Ning Jun put on his windbreaker and his body immediately felt warm.

The man also took out a black jacket from his backpack and put it on, which made him look even more solemn.

"The captain has a mission. I'll share it with you."

Xiao Qichen seemed to have gradually regained his language ability, but he still had some difficulty speaking long sentences.

Ning Jun seemed not to notice, "Okay, then share it with me!"

For some reason, even though they hadn't seen each other for six or seven years, Ning Jun didn't feel unfamiliar with him, nor was she afraid that he had changed and would be disadvantageous to her.

She believed that the little boy who was quiet but always protected her would not harm her.

"By the way," she took out a silk quilt and a lighter from her backpack.

"This is what I found out of the box. Take it. It's still a bit cold at night. Light a fire to keep warm. You can spread the quilt on the ground and sleep more comfortably."

Fortunately, she has a critical hit talent, otherwise, how could she be so rich.

Xiao Qichen's eyes softened, and his stern temperament also eased a little.

"No need, I have some." Not only did he refuse Ning Jun's things, he also gave her a lot of them.

Just that set of kitchen utensils made Ning Jun's eyes light up.

Not to mention, there are all kinds of food and drinks, and even equipment with added attributes.

"Enough, enough, my backpack is full!" Ning Jun finally understood what happy troubles were.

"Is your backpack big enough for so many things? I have some expansion coupons here, do you want them?" These were specially reserved for him.

Not only did Xiao Qichen not take it, he also took out two coupons, exactly the same as the ones in Ning Jun's hand.

"You, stole the system?" Otherwise, how could there be so many good things!
Ning Jun's exaggerated expression made him laugh.

"At night, you can kill monsters." He did not say what kind of monsters they were or whether they were dangerous.

But when Ning Jun thought of the creepy sound at night, he knew that killing the monster would definitely not be easy.

"Forget it, you took all this risk, keep it for yourself. I have 25 slots in my backpack now, which is more than enough."

"You just gave me the blueprints. Once I build the locker, I won't have to carry so much stuff in my backpack."

Although the player's hut can be used to store things, it does not have insulation function.

If left too long, the food will rot.

However, the storage cabinets and various furniture produced by the system all have storage functions to ensure that food does not spoil.

But Xiao Qichen's temper is much more stubborn than Ning Yun's.

In the end, Ning Jun accepted it and expanded his backpack to 40 slots, so he no longer had to worry about the backpack being full.

They had all eaten lunch and didn't need any more food at the moment.

Seeing that this copy could only last for 4 hours, and there were only three and a half hours left, Ning Jun urged him to complete the task quickly.

Their mission was actually very simple, which was to revive the "Jade Purple Tree", which was the tree Ning Jun saw when he first arrived at the dungeon.

"That tree looks quite lush to me."

The branches are thick and the leaves are lush, showing a thriving scene.

Xiao Qichen's speaking speed gradually returned to normal.

"What you see is just the surface. I'll show you the back."

The two entered the cave again. The closer they got to the Jade Purple Tree, the weirder Ning Jun looked.

When they came to the back of the tree, Ning Jun was shocked.

The originally jade-like trunk was almost hollowed out, with black smoke emitting from the large wound, giving people a weird feeling.

A scene suddenly appeared in front of Ning Jun's eyes.

On the originally vibrant grassland, fireballs fell from the sky, almost burning all the grass and trees, and the animals hurriedly hid in caves for shelter.

But the fireballs seemed to have eyes. One after another, they smashed into the hill and smashed a hole in it!

She was in the cave, unable to move, and could only watch as everything around her was destroyed.

Until a fireball came straight towards her.

"Ah!" Ning Jun seemed to be frightened and woke up from the hallucination.

"Is this the memory of Yu Zishu?"

She just now seemed to have turned into a jade purple tree and witnessed the tragedy on the grassland.

Xiao Qichen's big, heavy hands supported her back, and the warmth transmitted through her back made Ning Jun feel more at ease.

"Yes." He had also seen that memory.

"Thank you," Ning Jun stood firm and thanked Xiao Qichen.

"So this big hole was caused by the fireball, but how can we save it? Give it water?"

She took out a bottle of water from her backpack and tried to pour it at the base of the tree.

Unfortunately, there was no movement at all.
