About how my wife resurrected me as tentacles after my death.

I'm going to leave the city today to do a mission, and I don't plan to cook lunch.

So after Yu Wan got home, she tidied up a bit.

He changed into a dark-colored hooded jacket, wrapped the long sniper rifle up again and slung it over his back, stuffing several boxes of ammunition and a detector into his pockets.

She hesitated at the door for a moment, then took the miniature explosive from the drawer and put it into the inside pocket of her coat.

Chen Yuan lay quietly on her chest.

Are we leaving the city again?

He rubbed against her collarbone and made a soft "plop" sound.

"Hmm...we'll be leaving the city soon. Ah Yuan, be good and just stay behind me."

........

After leaving the house, Yu Wan stopped again when she passed the steamed bun shop on the street corner.

The steaming baskets were stacked high, and the white steam blurred the owner's face.

She bought some large meat-filled buns, took a bite of one herself, and then handed one to the small tentacle on her chest.

"Ah Yuan, have some steamed buns," she said softly.

Chen Yuan extended the tip of her tentacle from her collar and wrapped it around the bun.

The suction cups open to absorb.

[Energy Replenishment +0.3] [Experience Points +0.03]

Yu Wan walked along while munching on her meat bun.

As she reached the entrance to the Alliance Mission Hall, she swallowed the last bite of her steamed bun.

Pushing open the door, the mission lobby remained the same as always.

Gray walls, gray benches, everything was gray and hazy.

Various task information scrolled across the electronic screen, in red and white text, densely packed together.

Yu Wan stood in front of the electronic screen, her gaze going straight to the highest level.

【Mission ID: A-037】Investigate the tracks of a level 3 monster to prevent it from attacking the city walls.

Reward: 3000 points.

Note: This monster is suspected to be a sub-dragon species and has caused three attacks. It is recommended to take on the monster in a team of at least three people.

Yu Wan stared at the three words "sub-dragon species".

It should be that same dragon from before...

This mission is too dangerous, and it has already seen her. If it goes to its territory again, it is very likely to be resented.

She looked down.

【Task ID: B-021】Obtain 1 level 1 monster "Armored Rock Scorpion" venom sac.

Reward: 1200 points.

Note: The location of the nest has been marked. It is recommended to take on the task in a small team.

It's an official quest; the location of the lair has been given. You don't need to spend time looking for it; just go there, kill the monster, collect the materials, and come back.

This is possible, but it must be done in a team; a single person cannot do it.

Yu Wan's gaze lingered on the word "team" for a moment, then she turned to look into the hall.

Several people were sitting on a bench in the corner of the hall.

It's the same team she joined when she did the mission last time.

Old Zhou, A Dao, A Jing.

The three men seemed to have been squatting there for a long time, just waiting for her to come.

Old Zhou leaned back in his chair, closing his eyes and pretending to doze off. A Dao was wiping his knife with his head down, while A Jing was flipping through her communicator, seemingly bored.

Several backpacks and weapon pouches were placed next to them, indicating that they were ready to set off at any time.

Yu Wan walked over.

Old Zhou opened his eyes first, saw that it was her, and smiled.

Ah-Qing also looked up at her, then quickly lowered her head again.

A-Dao was still wiping the knife, without looking up, but the frequency of wiping the knife had obviously slowed down.

Old Zhou stood up, dusted off his pants, and said, "Our team was actually thinking of taking on this mission, so how about..."

He pointed to B-021 on the electronic screen and retrieved the venom sac of the rock scorpion.

Anyway, old people just become shameless.

He knew Chen Yuan from before and knew how wealthy a level six engineer was.

Like Yu Wan's modified long sniper rifle, it's not even worth tens of thousands of points; it's priceless.

Following her on tasks is like getting free points.

As for saving face, does saving face even matter?

Ah-Qing blushed with embarrassment, not out of shyness, but because she felt bad for Lao Zhou.

The way they're squatting is way too obvious.

She pretended to look elsewhere, her gaze drifting around the hall, but she dared not look at Yu Wan.

Yu Wan didn't care about their little schemes.

Anyway, she just happened to need a squad to take on the mission.

Finding someone else is certainly not as reliable as their team; they're much more dependable than strangers you don't know.

"Let's go together," Yu Wan said simply.

Old Zhou smiled and said, "Alright, I'll get ready."

He turned to pack his backpack, and A Dao finally looked up and nodded at Yu Wan as a greeting.

Ah-Qing finally stopped pretending to look away and forced a smile at Yu Wan.

Yu Wan didn't say anything, but just walked to the door and waited.

After a while, the four of them got into the off-road vehicle.

The car is the same one as last time, but it's a bit old.

Old Zhou was driving, and Yu Wan was sitting in the back row, leaning against the window.

She was still wearing a hat, with the brim pulled low, covering most of her face.

From the side, you can only see a few strands of her silvery-white hair peeking out from the edge of her hat and her silent eyes.

The people in front of me were chatting casually.

Ah-Qing was talking about her last trip out of town, how many points she made from selling the sandworm meat, and how she wanted to catch more next time.

Old Zhou was saying she was too greedy, saying that if you encounter sandworms, you should kill them; if you don't, you shouldn't go looking for them.

Yu Wan sat quietly without saying a word.

Chen Yuan lay on her chest, but did not extend his tentacles.

The two of them stayed there quietly, listening to the wind outside the window and the sound of wheels rolling over the sand.

After driving for almost an hour, we stopped in a hilly area.

It's no longer a wasteland, it's hills.

A series of round, rolling hills stretched out in an endless row.

Old Zhou stopped the car, took out a map from his pocket, glanced at it, and then looked at the detector.

"It's around here," he said. "The location of the rock scorpion's nest, officially marked."

He casually made some arrangements.

A-Dao scouted ahead, Lao Zhou followed behind, A-Qing was on the left, and Yu-Wan was on the right. The plan was simply for her to stay behind and fire her guns, without having to rush to the front.

Yu Wan had no objection.

She nodded, her hat brim still pulled low, and strands of her silvery-white hair were blown out from the edge of the brim by the wind, fluttering against her face.

I looked up and glanced at the hills not far away.

This time... it should be simple, right?

Chen Yuan peeked out a tentacle tip from her collar and nuzzled her chin.

He was saying, "With me here, what's there to be afraid of?"

Yu Wan glanced down at him, and the corners of her mouth curved slightly.

.......

They had walked less than a hundred meters when they heard the sound of a car behind them.

Old Zhou stopped and looked back.

Another SUV stopped next to them.

Five people jumped out of the vehicle, dressed in various combat uniforms, both men and women, all carrying weapons.

The leader was a tall man who glanced at Yu Wan and the others before laughing.

"Are you doing this mission too?" he asked.
