Chapter 160: Request for Help from Shelter No. 6, Deep Sea Mud
Kurohit spoke up quickly, “Sister, please help me remove this zombie virus!”
Lilith sighed helplessly. Her slender, fair fingers gently traced along Kurohit’s face, finally stopping just above the center of his brows.
With a light tap, a dark green energy began to gather at that spot.
As a member of the Curse Magic Kuros family, Kuros Lilith had grown so powerful that she had become a special administrator recognized by the system, inheriting the codename [X]. But her own power was formidable even without the title.
The Kuros family possessed a bloodline ability known as Curse Magic, but each member’s specific awakened curse varied.
Kurohit’s curse was damage transference.
Lilith’s bloodline curse was poison control. Any poison could be manipulated by her—including the zombie virus that Su Ning had injected into Kurohit. She effortlessly removed it.
The zombie virus turned into a wisp of black smoke, drifting out from Kurohit’s brow.
Lilith’s lips curled slightly, and with a gentle breath, she inhaled the poisonous mist into her body.
She let out a soft, satisfied hum.
“Mmm… This is quite a potent toxin. The player who can control a zombie virus… seems pretty interesting.”
At this moment, Lilith developed a new curiosity toward Su Ning.
Kurohit noticed his powerful administrator sister showing interest in Su Ning and began to wonder if he could use her to eliminate her.
He was just about to speak, when he looked up and saw Lilith’s mocking eyes.
“Kurohit, don’t tell me you were thinking of asking your sister to handle this person for you?”
The sarcasm in her voice was unmistakable, instantly silencing Kurohit.
“Sister, you’re joking… Of course I wouldn’t ask that of you. I’ll handle this matter myself.”
But his killing intent was so obvious that as soon as he tried to stand up, an unknown force interfered, causing him to stagger and nearly fall flat on his back.
Lilith covered her mouth and let out a soft laugh.
“You’d better rein in that murderous aura. That [Super Misfortune] ability belongs to the category of rule-based disaster talents. It’s only lucky that the ability hasn’t advanced yet—otherwise, you’d have died a thousand times over by now.”
Mentioning Super Misfortune made Kurohit uncomfortable. If it weren’t for that talent, he wouldn’t have been defeated so miserably. Worse, because he failed his mission, he lost the chance to inherit the codename [K] and couldn’t become an administrator like Lilith.
Of course he hated Su Ning. But now, due to Super Misfortune, he couldn’t even think hostile thoughts without consequences.
“Sister, can’t the organization send other administrators to recover [Super Misfortune] and [Super Luck]? If these two talents are allowed to evolve freely, won’t they lead to the return of ‘Destiny’ and ‘Calamity’, those two god—”
“Silence!”
Lilith suddenly barked, cutting him off before he could finish.
Kurohit realized he had nearly said something that should never be spoken.
Lilith shot him a sharp glance.
“You don’t need to worry about such things. As long as Lord S keeps things in check, no world will develop powers that exceed the System’s control. That’s the entire reason we’re tasked with recovering special talents in the first place.”
“As for [Super Luck] and [Super Misfortune], don’t worry. Under system suppression, those two talents cannot advance further… Unless—”
She paused, deep in thought, then shook her head.
“No ‘unless’.”
Kurohit muttered, “But even as they are now, those two talents are already a huge headache.”
Lilith glanced at him coldly, “Then control your emotions.”
Kurohit fell silent.
“Anyway, since the mission failed, you need to train harder and wait for your next chance at advancement. Otherwise, if the other administrators find out, they’ll just laugh at the Kuros family. For now, you’ll stay with me and work on improving yourself.”
Kurohit’s heart sank.
“Sister, you’re so busy… Isn’t it inappropriate for me to tag along?”
Lilith’s tone turned cold.
“You think you can fail a mission and not face punishment?”
Kurohit closed his eyes in defeat. He knew his good days were over.
Under Lilith’s hand, he would be tortured half to death—if not more.
In his heart, he cursed again: “Su Ning… just wait. I’ll find a chance to kill you someday!”
“Achoo!”
Su Ning sneezed.
“Someone must be talking about me again.”
She didn’t care and instead focused on the steaming hot food in front of her.
In her hand was a sweet coconut.
After returning from the dungeon, Su Ning had resumed her leisurely lifestyle. The world outside was still gripped by extreme cold, and she lazed about like a well-fed worm—eating delicious food, reading comics, occasionally tending to her crops. Life was quite cozy.
Beside her, Youyou gnawed contentedly on a dish made from a giant crab.
Youyou had grown significantly and was now the size of a full-grown tiger. Lying next to Su Ning, she looked completely relaxed and content.
But this peaceful life was soon interrupted by a sudden explosion.
The loud blast startled both Su Ning and Youyou.
“What was that?!”
Su Ning looked into the distance and saw flames rising high into the sky, thick black smoke billowing.
The direction of the explosion was exactly where Shelter No. 6 was located.
“Did something happen to Shelter No. 6?”
Su Ning immediately recalled a message she’d seen earlier on the communication channel—something about a parasitic creature appearing inside Shelter No. 6.
She instantly thought of Yan Liuxing, who had previously escaped. That man’s abilities were terrifying.
“Could this explosion have been his doing?”
Su Ning’s guess was spot-on. The explosion had indeed been caused by Yan Liuxing. But this time, the destruction was more than Shelter No. 6 could handle.
Although it wasn’t completely destroyed, it had suffered severe damage, and the residents inside were now in urgent need of help.
News of the incident quickly spread to other shelters.
Commander Liu Jianjun, leader of the sixth base, went completely gray overnight. Everything he had worked for was now nearly ruined.
But they couldn’t afford to lose the grain storage of Shelter No. 6 to anyone else.
With no other choice, Liu Jianjun sent out a distress call to the other shelters, hoping someone would come to their aid.
In response, several shelters stepped up: Shelters No. 2, 3, and 5 organized teams and began marching toward Shelter No. 6.
As for the near-destruction of Shelter No. 6, Su Ning felt no emotional reaction.
“I just hope this extreme cold ends soon. If Shelter No. 6 really falls now, most of its residents will freeze to death.”
She shook her head, “But I’m not the base leader—it’s not my responsibility.”
She turned her attention back to the table in front of her.
On it sat a tray of moist soil, about twenty pieces in total.
[Item: Deep Sea Mud]
Effect: Can purify polluted or irradiated soil, making previously infertile land arable again.
Note: Each piece can treat one acre of land.
