Survival in the neighborhood: Give me a piece of bread every day

"You're going out? And you're going outside the residential area? Isn't that too dangerous?"

Jiang Lai was surprised, but also a little worried.

Chen An had never dared to go out the door before.

Why do you suddenly want to go outside the residential area?

It's very dangerous outside.

There are all sorts of unknown and terrifying monsters.

And those robbers.

"I'll call Teacher Bai to come with me later. With the Frost Overlord skill and Teacher Bai's talent, we'll be able to protect ourselves."

Chen An was certainly not a person who liked adventure.

He definitely wouldn't go out unless he was 99% sure it would be safe.

But now that he has skills that can both attack and defend, plus Teacher Bai's group-shared protection, and Wang Ziyan's dual domination and attribute bonus, self-preservation is definitely not a problem.

As for why I wanted to go outside the residential area...

It's because he just bought another very useful piece of intelligence from resident number 100000, with whom he had previously purchased intelligence.

Room owner #009527: Has this information been verified? Could it just be a random drop?

Room owner #100000: No way, bro, my information is absolutely guaranteed! As long as you kill those six-legged monsters, a treasure chest will definitely drop! And those six-legged monsters aren't aggressive at all; they'll just run away if they see people. It's like they're just there to give you freebies. Our team still has a large number of people hunting them down outside the neighborhood.

Defeating the six-legged monster will drop a treasure chest.

Treasure chests can yield various rare resources and blueprints.

Furthermore, the six-legged monster does not attack people.

This is one of the reasons why Chen An wanted to leave.

Of course, the more important reason is that he now has the ability to protect himself.

Otherwise, even if he only gets a treasure chest, or even a skill book, he wouldn't go on an adventure.

"Then you must be careful."

Jiang Lai gave him some worried instructions.

Now, Chen An is not only her landlord, but also her man.

She really didn't want anything to happen to Chen An.

More than half an hour later.

Chen An, Wang Ziyan, and Lin Luxi have all fully recovered their strength.

The room's stamina recovery rate is now close to 100 points per hour.

Maximum battery life.

"Alright, let's get ready to go."

Chen An held a repeating crossbow in his hand, wore a black bulletproof vest, and a military helmet, essentially becoming a fully armored figure.

The helmet and bulletproof vest were items he had just purchased from a trading platform.

【Anti-smashing helmet】

[Durable 15/15]

[Effect: Blocks damage from projectiles]

[Description: I will protect my owner's head!]

...

[Plug-in bulletproof vest]

[Durability: 29/35]

[Effect: Can withstand close-range fire from small-caliber bullets]

[Introduction: Master, please wear me tightly! I will protect your upper body!]

These two pieces of protective gear are a bit pricey, but they offer excellent protection.

He tested it before, and the crossbow bolts couldn't penetrate the bulletproof vest at close range, only reducing its durability by a few points.

The effectiveness of bulletproof vests in this world seems to have been quantified, which is quite amazing.

"Honey, this is the flashlight I just bought. We'll definitely need it outside."

Jiang Lai handed her a flashlight.

"Okay, let's go."

Chen An took the flashlight, took a deep breath, and then opened the door.

set off!

Let me see what's going on in this world of eternal night!

After walking through dozens of rooms, we arrived at Bai Mengjie's room.

Chen An was slightly taken aback.

Because Teacher Bai's door was so badly damaged that it couldn't even keep out the wind.

Bai Mengjie, who was sitting on the ground recovering her strength, saw Chen An and the others and quickly stood up, asking, "Are we leaving now?"

Chen An had already messaged her, inviting her to explore and search for supplies outside the community together.

She was also short of supplies, so she agreed.

"Um, Mr. Bai, aren't you going to fix the door? If you don't have any wood, I can fix it for you; consider it payment for hiring you to come downstairs."

Chen An said.

"Let's not fix it for now, we'll talk about it when we get back. Anyway, we don't have much stuff in our room."

Bai Mengjie shook her head.

"Okay, then please use your talent on me first, and then we'll go downstairs."

As Chen An spoke, he looked towards the stairwell.

I've been here for three days.

This was his first real step outside the room.

"Yes, it's all done."

Bai Mengjie's talent allows her to pre-select targets.

Then, when the damage or buff effect is triggered, it will be automatically shared.

She can control the amount shared.

Then, the group stepped into the dimly lit stairwell.

There were lights in the stairwell, though they were small, orange-yellow lights, providing a view like the lighting in a horror movie scene.

Lin Luxi and Wang Ziyan walked at the front.

Chen An walked in the middle.

Bai Mengjie was at the end.

This formation is naturally most advantageous to Chen An.

As he went downstairs, Chen An would glance at each floor with curiosity.

I can hear voices.

But there wasn't much sound on each floor.

I don't know if the residents went out to grab the airdrop loot or went to grind monsters outside the complex...

As Wang Ziyan led the way, she said, "Actually, most of the residents in our building are quite normal and won't hurt anyone casually, so there's no need to be too cautious."

She was saying this to Chen An.

Because Chen An had a serious expression on his face from the moment he left the house.

Moreover, his finger was always on the trigger of the crossbow, as if he were ready to shoot someone at any moment.

Her wary look was really funny to her.

"We must always be on guard! Teacher Bai, you should also be careful. If anyone tries to ambush us, distribute the damage among them immediately!"

Chen An, fully armed, said solemnly.

"Okay, sure."

Bai Mengjie nodded.

She wasn't actually that nervous.

Because there haven't been any incidents of residents attacking each other in their building yet.

Sometimes we even greet each other when we bump into each other downstairs.

Wang Ziyan felt a little helpless.

This man is being overly cautious!

The group of four quickly arrived at the first floor.

Outside the door was a pitch-black world.

It was so dark you could barely see your hand in front of your face.

Chen An took out a flashlight, turned it on, and handed it to Bai Mengjie: "Teacher Bai, you can keep this."

"Uh-huh."

Bai Mengjie nodded.

"Alright, let's go!"

As Chen An spoke, he gestured for Lin Luxi and Wang Ziyan to go first.

Wang Ziyan's eye twitched slightly.

This man is so sneaky!

She even suspected that Chen An gave the flashlight to Teacher Bai not out of kindness, but because the light would be too eye-catching in the dark.

If someone launches a sneak attack, they will definitely target the person who has taken everything first.

That's why Chen An didn't carry the flashlight himself.

It has to be said that Wang Ziyan has a very good eye for people!

Chen An did indeed have this idea.

Although he had a slight crush on Teacher Bai.

But if it comes to his own safety, he will not hesitate to choose to protect himself first!

But what Wang Ziyan didn't expect was yet to come.

When they arrived at the entrance of the residential area.

Surprisingly, nearly a hundred residents, including Li Jia, were waiting there.

They were clearly summoned by someone.

Needless to say, this must belong to Chen Anqian!

Good guy.

It turns out he not only armed himself to the teeth, but also brought his entire floor's worth of underlings!
