[Ding! Congratulations Little Zombie Zaizai for completing Task Two. Reward: 100,000 points, Remnant Page *1.]

Hearing the task completion prompt, Gu Rong secretly glanced at the others and quickly had 006 store the Remnant Page only when no one was looking anymore.

At the same time, with his points exceeding 100,000, Gu Rong’s personal livestream finally opened. Aunties flooded in, frantically spamming comments and donations.

[Oh ho! Finally no need to leech off player livestreams anymore! [Gift Points]]

[Ahhh Zaizai! Zaizai fly brave, Auntie follow forever!! [Gift Points]]

[Zaizai, you’re killing me laughing! So young, yet your stealing sense is perfect hahaha [Gift Points]]

Paradise was the largest human base, with clear class divisions between upper and lower levels. The higher up, the higher the rank. It was divided based on power levels. The lower levels housed low-rank power users, the middle levels housed mid-rank power users, and the upper levels housed top-tier power users. The leader resided at the apex of the pyramid.

Ordinary humans without powers did not live in Paradise. In the collapsed civilization of the apocalypse, without the constraints of morality and law, the base did not engage in charity.

As a top researcher at Oasis Laboratory, Dr. Bai held a high status. The helicopter flew directly to the upper level.

After disembarking, dozens of people were already waiting on the open-air lawn, seemingly to welcome them specifically.

“Dr. Bai, it’s been a tough journey.” A young man in a Senior Colonel’s uniform stepped forward with a smile, casually glancing behind her. After scanning for a long time, he finally spotted a mini dumpling on the ground.

Senior Colonel: “…”

So small… can already walk by himself?

The apocalypse had lasted too long; he hadn’t seen a cub in ages and couldn’t recall for a moment. A two-year-old cub could not only walk but also run without issue.

Gu Rong was surrounded by the four players, like a little gas tank, unbelievably tiny. Sensing the Senior Colonel’s gaze, the four players immediately stood in front of Gu Rong, shielding the cub.

Gu Rong, however, was full of curiosity. Seeing this strange uncle looking at him, he poked his little round head out, blinked his eyes, and met the man’s gaze.

The Senior Colonel coughed lightly and looked away. The blood test results were out. He had heard from Dr. Bai; this was just a human cub. But— Whether a zombie cub or a human cub, this little cub was equally precious. The only cub, a rarity comparable to a national treasure.

Just then, Gu Rong’s attention was drawn away by another person. Standing behind the Senior Colonel was a tall, slender, extraordinarily handsome young man in a white lab coat, standing ramrod straight, exceptionally handsome, with a faint smile playing on his lips.

Uncle Doctor!!

It was Lin Xuezhou.

Since entering the instance, this was the first time Gu Rong had seen an acquaintance. His little face flushed with excitement. He was about to call out when Lin-dalao looked over at him. His facial expression remained unchanged, but the smile that usually floated on the surface permeated his eyes. Simultaneously, he gave Gu Rong an extremely subtle shake of his head.

Gu Rong, truly a little smarty egg, didn’t miss Lin-dalao‘s slight gesture and understood his meaning.

Okay, must pretend not to know Uncle Doctor first!

[Great! It’s Lin-dalao! We’re saved!]

[Every time, Lin-dalao manages to play an NPC with a high status and position. Amazing.]

[Zaizai almost wrote ‘I know him’ on his face! Hahaha]

[Who was it just now saying Zaizai had a strong stealing sense? Stealing sense indeed is heavy! Dying laughing]

Dr. Bai smiled and nodded at the Senior Colonel: “Major Mu.”

Then looked at Lin Xuezhou, “Dr. Lin.”

Lin-dalao also nodded in greeting to her.

Ye Qiuwu and the other three had become background props. They also recognized Lin-dalao, part of the babysitting group, which is an extremely strong dalao. Hard not to recognize.

Li Xue whispered, “Why do I feel like the four of us are like the cannon fodder group?”

“What do you mean ‘like’?” Ye Qiuwu said, “We are!”

“…”

Damn it.

–

It was already late at night. Major Mu ordered people to lead the group to rest. The four players were forcibly separated and sent to different floors.

Gu Rong was personally escorted by Major Mu directly to a luxury suite on the upper level. The room was huge, complete with a living room, bathroom, and balcony, much like a five-star hotel before the apocalypse. However, it was mostly made of glass and metal products, exuding a cold, inorganic feeling everywhere.

“Little doll, you rest well here tonight first. I’ll take you to see the Marshal tomorrow.” Major Mu said with a smile, his tone as gentle as possible, even bending down slightly.

Gu Rong, perhaps not understanding, nodded: “Okay!”

Major Mu left with a smile.

Once the other person left, Gu Rong asked: [What’s a Marshal?]

006: […The superior of that Major Mu.]

Gu Rong “Oh”, losing interest.

006 said: [Little host, let’s quickly look at the Remnant Page we obtained.]

Only then did Gu Rong remember the page. He sat cross-legged on the bed. Took the page from the backpack, spread it on the quilt. It was a yellowed piece of kraft paper/parchment fragment. Its touch was smooth and soft. The surface was blank, nothing on it.

[Huh? What is this?] Gu Rong found it strange, picked it up, looked it over back and forth, couldn’t figure anything out. His small hand slid back and forth over the parchment, playing with it.

006 wanted to suggest trying to heat it with fire, but worried Gu Rong was too young and might hurt himself.

006 said: [Maybe put it away first. Perhaps we’ll know what it is later.]

Gu Rong held the parchment fragment, rubbed it against his little cheek, and let out a “Wah!”: [Feels like Zaizai’s skin!]

006: […]

Livestream Chat: […]

Cannot say random things Zaizai!

Unable to figure it out, Gu Rong could only put the page away first.

Gu Rong: [Where are Big Brother and Little Brother? Rongrong misses them!]

006 smiled: [Maybe we’ll see them tomorrow. Little host, why not wash up and sleep early?]

Gu Rong’s small hand revealed a large hamburger. He said firmly: [Eat food first! Not full, how Rongrong sleepy time!]

006: […]

Okay.

Gu Rong ate and drank his fill. 006 bought him a one-click cleaner from the system store, cleaning him from head to toe.

Gu Rong rolled around on the large bed, from head to foot, then foot to head again.

Just as he was about to fall asleep, “Ding!”, another system prompt sounded.

[Please, Little Zombie Zaizai receive a new task.]

[Task Three: Find the remaining pages of “Revelation”.]

[Success Reward: 1,000,000 points, Devil’s Key *1.]

[Failure Penalty: Deduct 1,000,000 points, Deduct Devil’s Key *1.]

[Current Progress: 1/4.]

Hearing this, Gu Rong’s eyes widened. Gulu, he climbed up from the bed. He had already collected 4 Devil’s Keys.

If one were deducted… He spread his five short fingers, counted slowly with his small hand, twice, before figuring it out: then only three would be left!

Gu Rong clutched his pocket protectively, as if afraid someone would steal from him. But the Devil’s Keys weren’t in his pocket.

Lord Devil said not eat Zaizai, but still need collect keys!

What if Lord Devil want eat Zaizai again?!

006 said: [Little host, don’t be afraid! We’ve already collected one page, only three are left. No big problem! Stay calm!]

Gu Rong “Hmmed”.

It was already deep night. Even if doing tasks, it had to wait until tomorrow. He lay back down on the bed, ‘大’ shape flat. In less than ten seconds, he sank into dreamland.
