Apocalypse: My Companions Are From the 3D District

Li Pu, however, playfully kissed her forehead and lay down on the ground with an excited look.

"Good night, Ada."

The Ice Queen looked at Li Pu's back, the smile on her face no longer able to be concealed: "Give you a little reward and you wag your tail like this, so cute."

[Ada Wong Affection Points +2]

[Current Goddess Affection Points: 42/100]

She took off her thickly painted stockings, took out a spare pair from her equipment belt, as well as the cleaning wipes she had secretly hidden earlier.

Ignoring the wet marks on the mattress, she quietly tidied herself up.

After a night.

The hum of the drone's wings sounded outside the door.

The hologram of that bad woman was projected through the window on the door by the drone.

Ada, seemingly annoyed at being woken up, said coldly and sarcastically, "Are you here to issue a mission?"

The woman smiled lightly: "That's right, open the back door first, clearing the mutated creatures is too difficult for you."

"Spare me your clumsy reverse psychology." Ada picked up a high heel and put it on her jade foot that had brought pleasure to both of them last night.

Her other leg couldn't bend due to the injury, so she could only shout to Li Pu, "Hey, rookie boss, help me."

Ada Wong had to admit that she seemed to have subconsciously developed a little dependence and sense of security towards this little boss.

Li Pu grinned and happily accepted this early morning perk.

The woman in the holographic image looked at the high heels on her feet and coughed awkwardly a few times.

Seeing that the two of them were ignoring her, she pulled a long face and said, "Opening the back door requires restoring the power supply facilities, we need to go to the zoo's power control room under the observation deck."

"The journey is long, it's almost near the back door."

Ada and Li Pu were ready.

"Then let's go."

Chapter 45: Zoo Tropical Pavilion

Inside the zoo passage.

"One slash! Two slashes! Three slashes..."

Ada Wong and Li Pu advanced, clearing out the few Zombies.

Li Pu, eager to test the effects of his new skill, couldn't find a target that could withstand ten slashes.

He kept switching targets: "One slash! Two slashes! Three slashes!"

The fire axe and entrenching tool in his hands flew in turns.

If he fully exerted the power of his Street Fighter World Fighter Physique, he could easily cut these ordinary Zombies in half, but now he wanted to test his skill, so he completely held back.

Only the cost-free ordinary flames brought by [Bathed in Fire] were tirelessly burning on the two weapons he wielded.

Finally, when three Zombies attacked side by side, he triggered the effect for the first time.

In Li Pu's vision, the unlucky Zombie was marked with a huge black cross all over its body.

The flow of time began to slow down abnormally.

Li Pu suddenly stopped and paused, thought for a while, and gently tapped it with his axe. The Zombie instantly exploded into slag.

Ada Wong quickly hid behind him to avoid the not-so-pleasant meat sauce from dripping on her.

"How does it feel like this kid is getting stronger and stronger?" Li Pu's solid back made her feel like she had someone to rely on for the first time.

Li Pu, whose windbreaker was covered in black, foul-smelling blood, was thoughtful.

"It even comes with a Bullet Time?"

"I have to find a chance to test how long this Bullet Time lasts." With the 50% proficiency bonus for unconventional weapon proficiency, Li Pu subconsciously played with the small fire axe in his hand, spinning it, tossing it into the air, and catching it with a flourish.

The shovel head of the entrenching tool was too big, he still preferred playing with this short and powerful fire axe in his hand.

This was seen by the woman on the other end of the drone: "People who can get close to this place are not simple characters, even children."

Putting away the documents she was still signing, she began to pay attention to the situation here.

After a night's rest, Ada Wong, whose injuries had barely recovered, asked the drone, "What's ahead, how far is it from the observation deck?"

"Don't worry, darling, if you want to go to the observation deck, you have to go through the Tropical Pavilion and the Lakeside District." The holographic image was projected, and the woman's figure appeared in front of the two again.

"Is there no way in or a place to detour?" Ada Wong subconsciously sensed that these two places were not good places to go.

The woman sighed: "No, according to the information we and other survivors have collected in the past half month, the director of this zoo, after taking office two years ago, vigorously developed the Tropical Pavilion, introduced some exotic plants, and expanded the Tropical Pavilion to span the entire park, there's no way to get around it."

"Behind the Tropical Pavilion is the Lakeside Swamp area, which he also introduced a lot of swamp plants, occupying the same large area."

"The zoo is almost being turned into a botanical garden, but it is precisely because of this that the zoo's revenue has rebounded and has been pulled back from the brink of bankruptcy."

"But it is also because of this that the former star animals were shelved, and the breeding funds were reduced again and again."

Li Pu didn't care about the second half of what the woman said, he only felt that there must be something the woman didn't say about the Tropical Pavilion and the Lakeside District, otherwise, with so many survivors, how could none have survived?

"So many survivors didn't manage to get through these two areas and open a back door for you?" Ada Wong asked the drone, her voice icy and her face expressionless.

The woman showed no emotion upon hearing this, and said calmly, "We're not sure about the specifics. These plants are suspected of being infected, and the trees and grass inside are too lush, with very low visibility. Every time survivors enter, they die inexplicably, one by one, making it impossible to find out the cause. Therefore, we have never crossed the Tropical Pavilion."

Ada Wong sneered, "So we're two new scapegoats?"

"Of course not. Your sacrifice is for the sake of all humanity~ If you can come back alive, I will try my best to compensate you." The woman said skillfully, having repeated the same words countless times.

Ada Wong, who had been vigilantly holding her gun, rolled her eyes at the woman in the image.

Unknowingly, the two people and the drone had arrived in front of a pavilion door.

"Here we are, the Tropical Pavilion. Be extra careful." As the woman's voice faded, the drone extended many gun barrels.

Li Pu took a deep breath and pushed open the door of the Tropical Pavilion.

The fragrance of grass, trees, and soil rushed towards him, mixed with the smell of blood and rotting flesh.

The entire venue was completely like a tropical rainforest. If it weren't for the potted plants and railings that could barely be seen, Li Pu would have really thought that the venue had always been arranged like this.

Mosquitoes and insects danced in the forest, birds chirped, and the occasional swaying leaves made people vigilant.

Li Pu took off his mosquito-proof hat and handed it to Ada.

[Ada Wong Affection Points +2]

[Current Goddess Affection Points: 44/100]

While using an entrenching tool to cut down the plants blocking the way, he spat out thin but wider-ranged Qi Flame to burn the potentially virus-carrying mosquitoes and insects.

To Li Pu's surprise, these plants wouldn't burn at all: "Could the plants have mutated too?"

Li Pu, who had been thinking of immediately opening the venue and setting fire to the Tropical Pavilion if the situation was not right, had to reject this idea.

Continuing to advance cautiously, the soft, muddy ground under his feet was uncomfortable, reminding Li Pu of the "stepping in shit" feeling that some shoe reviews often mentioned...

As the two slowly advanced, bursts of hoarse growls entered his ears.

As they went deeper, the increasingly dense vegetation blocked the already dim light from the cloudy sky outside the glass roof, making the light dim and eerie.

Countless mists appeared and filled the air, and the branches and leaves of the trees swayed like ghosts, as if they were whispering.

This formed a shadow-covered maze, making it difficult to discern directions.

Even though Li Pu tried his best to chop down the plants blocking the way, the spreading vines and sharp branches still occasionally scratched his skin, causing faint pains, as if this rainforest was rejecting their presence.

This mutated rainforest was filled with strange and creepy sounds. The cries of animals and the sobs of unknown creatures from afar intertwined, tightening people's heartstrings. Raindrops pierced through the gaps in the leaves and fell to the ground, making a gloomy ticking sound, like the pendulum of death.

The smell of decay and dampness became more intense.

Rotting leaves and moist soil mixed together, forming a unique and suffocating odor.

The humid environment made people feel uncomfortable. The surfaces of tree trunks and plants were slippery and damp, wetting the two's exposed skin.

Thanks to Li Pu's flame clearing the way, insects, ants, and other tiny creatures were prevented from crawling on Ada Wong.

Ada Wong wore the mosquito-proof hat that Li Pu gave her, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up.

The drone, which had finally caught up, discovered Li Pu, the little fire-breathing dragon.

The woman almost spat out the wine in her mouth when she saw this scene for the first time.

"This? What's going on?" She kept zooming in on the image on the terminal, and finally confirmed that the flames were indeed coming out of Li Pu's mouth: "This kid, is he really human?"

Faced with the mutated plants that wouldn't burn, Li Pu sprayed fire even more unscrupulously.

"Wait!" Ada Wong behind him suddenly put her hand on his shoulder, signaling him to stop.

As the two stopped moving, Li Pu's ears picked up sounds other than the drone's buzzing.

Bursts of low growls were accompanied by the sound of someone walking in the jungle.

Following the direction of the sound, several Zombies were slowly walking towards the two of them, and a large bee buzzed and flew above them, clumsy and slow.

These Zombies were suspected to be survivors who had explored here before, carrying bulging backpacks and holding various weapons.

The chainsaw held by one of the Zombies caught Li Pu's eye.

"Ten true damage every time, so if I take the chainsaw, wouldn't I be able to..."

The bee above the Zombies' eyes flashed red, and the Zombie holding the chainsaw wildly waved the chainsaw in its hand.

If it were an ordinary person, they might have been scared by the momentum of the chainsaw Zombie, but Li Pu's eyes were now glowing green as he looked at the chainsaw in the Zombie's hand.

Before the slow-moving Zombies could come over, Ada Wong raised her hand and shot the bee to pieces.

These Zombies seemed to be stimulated by the sudden severe pain, and their bodies began to convulse, and they knelt down and covered their heads.

After a few seconds, the Zombies' pain reached its peak. Their heads suddenly exploded, splattering black blood and brains in all directions. Worms like silkworm pupae burst out from the bloody mess, and Li Pu stepped on them one by one, crushing them to death.

"Can worms of this level also succeed?" Li Pu was a little puzzled, and went forward to rummage through the Zombies' backpacks.

The woman from Jericho City saw this scene transmitted back by the drone and said to the terminal in front of her, "Add the data of this bee to the zoo's information."

"Wait!"

Li Pu, who had just picked up the chainsaw, heard Ada's voice behind him.

"Look there," Ada Wong tilted her head to indicate a direction.

Following Ada Wong's gaze, Li Pu saw rows of Zombies controlled by bees slowly approaching their location, hidden by the dense vegetation in the distance.

Their lips moved, emitting low and spine-chilling hisses. Their limbs moved stiffly and slowly, as if each step required all their strength, yet they couldn't stop moving.

Above the horde of Zombies, a large number of enormous bees gathered.

Li Pu looked at the backpacks and weapons carried by these survivor Zombies and grinned, "Here comes the delivery."

Under Ada Wong's precise headshots with her pistol and Li Pu's Qi Flame, these clumsy and slow bees were slaughtered.

Such a large-scale attack naturally triggered Li Pu's true damage mechanism, and he took the opportunity to silently count how long this bonus Bullet Time would last.

"Three seconds? Everyone except me enters a state of slow time flow." After multiple triggers and experiments, he came to a final conclusion.

I'll ask Ada later; it would be awkward if only my perception of time slowed down. He secretly made up his mind and moved away from the horde of Zombies about to have their heads explode en masse.

Waiting for the slow Zombies' heads to explode and release insects, Li Pu, adhering to the principle of eliminating evil completely, stepped on each of them to death.

Finally resupplied, the two collected the survivor Zombies' supplies.

After gathering their backpacks and useful items in one place, Li Pu burned their bodies with a burst of flame.

Bulletproof vests, pistols, submachine guns, several bullets, flashlights, walkie-talkies, several gas masks, a small semiconductor radio, batteries, a large amount of food, canned goods and water, and various bizarrely modified weapons, even a survivor-made small hand-cranked generator.

The discerning Ada Wong found two Soviet-style Cloaks from the numerous spoils. These were single-soldier multifunctional top-grade military products that could be used as both rain ponchos and simple tents, especially those produced during the Soviet era, which were the most valuable, made of excellent materials, oil-immersed, warm, waterproof, and windproof.

This could not only protect her delicate skin from the troubles of mosquitoes and plants in this area but also provide a place to camp at any time, which was truly a win-win situation.

The simple tent was assembled by Ada Wong. One could only build a semi-open awning, but two cloaks could be combined into a complete tent with buttons.

The two immediately lit a bonfire, rested in place, and counted their spoils, filling their stomachs first.

"A wave of riches! This is a real wave of riches!"
