"Open it!"
Having a treasure chest and not opening it would be a sign of a brainless person! Now, Chen Yihan increasingly felt that the situation was not optimistic, and enhancing his strength was urgently needed.
"Ding... Obtained a level-less Weikang Beast Ring. After wearing it, Strength +2, Agility +2, worth 500 Main God Points (one of the Weikang set accessories)."
Weikang set?
Chen Yihan's eyes lit up. He put on the ring and carefully observed the simple introduction of the set on the ring.
Weikang set, equipping the full set will activate additional skills and attributes.
Set accessories: Weikang Beast Ring, Weikang Beast Chain, Weikang Beast Bracelet.
A set, it's actually a set!
Chen Yihan was no stranger to sets. In the online games he had played, almost every game had the existence of sets. The attributes of a single piece of a set were not powerful, and sometimes even worse than those of the same level of equipment. However, if a full set was assembled to activate its set attributes, it could far surpass ordinary equipment.
He guessed that the attributes of the set in this world would also surprise him.
However, if Chen Yihan were to provoke another Weikang beast, he would never do it. He would probably die before he could gather a full set.
"By the way, I haven't asked you your name yet." Alice ran a few steps to Chen Yihan's side and asked in a low voice, "Are you Japanese?"
Chen Yihan's eyebrows slightly furrowed.
"Korean?" Alice persisted.
Chen Yihan stopped walking, turned his head to stare at Alice, and said firmly, "Chinese!"
"Oh, my God!" Alice covered her mouth in surprise, "You're actually Chinese!"
After Alice said this and saw Chen Yihan's suddenly cold expression, she immediately apologized, "Sorry, sorry, I've only heard bad things about Chinese people, so... But from today on, I will completely change my impression of Chinese people. By the way, did you use Chinese kung fu to deal with that monster?" Alice said while making a few boxing gestures.
Chen Yihan was really impressed by this girl's mental fortitude. In such a dangerous environment, she could still chat with him. No wonder she could safely get home and wait for rescue in the movie. People like her in the movie always had incredibly good luck.
While talking to her, Chen Yihan kept a vigilant eye on the surroundings. When they reached her broken-down pickup truck, he interrupted her chatter and asked, "Can your car still run? If not, we'll switch to another one."
Chen Yihan was resistant to changing the car. He wanted to ensure that everything developed as in the movie, even though the plot had changed somewhat due to him. He didn't want a bigger change just because they switched cars.
Alice finally stopped her chatter, got back into the car, and started the engine: "I'll try." Surprisingly, the car started smoothly on the first try.
"Strange, it wouldn't start earlier, but now it's fine." Alice was clearly very excited. As long as the car started, she could soon be home with her two children. She didn't bother to think about why it started smoothly now.
But just because she didn't think about it, it didn't mean Chen Yihan didn't.
This must be a deliberate plot design. If the car had started smoothly earlier, they wouldn't have encountered the Weikang beast. If they hadn't encountered the Weikang beast, they could have safely escorted Alice home and completed the mission. But the Main God, who assigned the mission, clearly didn't want Chen Yihan to complete it so easily, so the car didn't start earlier.
It seems that every main mission is not easy.
Chen Yihan also got into the car, sitting in the passenger seat, lost in thought.
Is there still danger in this main mission? Will the rest of the journey be smooth, or will there be even greater crises?
Alice drove the car, clearly very happy, and continued her inquisitive questioning: "Chen, how did you get a gun?"
Chen Yihan was annoyed by her questions and bluffed, "I belong to a secret department of the peacekeeping forces. I can't reveal anything about myself or the mission, so please understand."
"Peacekeeping forces? CIA?" Alice immediately shook her head, negating her own guess. But she was indeed intimidated and nodded vigorously, "Don't worry, I'll keep your secret."
Keep my ass! Chen Yihan cursed in his heart. If not for escorting her, he wouldn't have almost died here.
The whole journey, Chen Yihan's heart was in his throat. Although the atmosphere was tense, it was incredibly safe, and they didn't encounter any more danger.
Not until Alice rushed out of the car, opened the door, picked up the woman running towards her, and glanced at the baby in the stroller did Chen Yihan finally breathe a sigh of relief. Because he heard the clear prompt from the Main God Medal again,
"Ding..."
"Congratulations, Contractee 777, for completing Main Mission 3: Safely escort Alice home. Mission completed: Reward 500 Main God Points."
"Contractee 777 completed Main Mission 3. Pending missions: 1, abandoned missions: 1, completed main missions: 1, failed main missions: 0."
"The next main mission will be released at the appropriate time."
Only at this moment did Chen Yihan feel a bit more at ease.
Now he had a total of 550 Main God Points. Even if he failed a main mission once, he would still have points to deduct and wouldn't be eliminated.
"Chen, what are you doing? Come in quickly!" Alice kept waving at Chen Yihan.
Chen Yihan shook his hair, showing what he thought was a charming smile, and said righteously, "No, there are still so many people at the supermarket waiting for me. They are facing great danger right now."
"Chen..."
Alice looked at this young man with his hair and face mixed with disgusting slime and blood, and tears couldn't stop falling.
"Go back inside, close the door, and wait for rescue." Chen Yihan moved to the driver's seat and joked, "Your car has been requisitioned by the government!" Then he stepped on the gas.
There was a jolt, and the broken-down pickup truck lurched forward and stalled.
Damn!
Chen Yihan's face was burning hot. He had forgotten to shift gears, which was very embarrassing.
He was too embarrassed to look at Alice, restarted the engine, slowly released the clutch, and stepped on the gas.
The pickup truck lurched forward again.
This time, it was better. Although it lurched, it didn't stall.
Chen Yihan's bandaged arm stretched out the window, waved at Alice, and drove the broken-down pickup truck onto the road.
He had to get back to the supermarket as quickly as possible!
To ensure David Drayton and his son Billy's safety? Of course not, he was afraid of encountering more danger on the way.
The whole journey, the roars of monsters could be heard, but there were no real dangers. Chen Yihan drove all the way to the supermarket parking lot without encountering any monster attacks.
However, due to the thick fog, Chen Yihan hadn't even stopped the car when he hit a big object.
Bang!
The broken-down pickup truck crashed straight into it, denting the front hood.
"Damn!" Chen Yihan shook his head, which was spinning from the impact. It looked like a mountain in front of him. He quickly opened the car door and got out to see what he had hit.
As soon as he got out of the car, Chen Yihan focused his eyes and felt a chill run down his spine to his buttocks.
Without hesitation, he ran towards the supermarket, shouting, "Open the door, open the door quickly!"
Chen Yihan ran to the supermarket entrance, looking back and pounding on the door. A crowd had already gathered at the supermarket entrance. When they saw Chen Yihan, they were first startled by his appearance, then quickly opened the door to let him in and closed it again.
"What happened to you? Why are you in such a state?" The black man Norton, whose status had clearly risen, was surrounded by many people.
Chen Yihan hurriedly ran into the supermarket, shouting, "Everyone, come inside, don't stay at the entrance, there's a big monster outside!!!"
As soon as Chen Yihan's words were out, the previously quiet supermarket erupted into chaos, and the crowd rushed into the supermarket.
After everyone had run to the back of the supermarket, huddled against the wall, and saw that the supermarket door was undamaged, they gradually calmed down.
"What kind of monster is it? Why are you in such a state?" Norton asked Chen Yihan again.
Chen Yihan glanced around. Where was David Drayton? He was gone!
"Where are the others?" Chen Yihan was anxious but couldn't directly ask about David Drayton, fearing unnecessary misunderstandings.
Saleswoman Sally knew that David Drayton and the others had gone to check the generator because David Drayton had asked her to look after Billy. So she said without hesitation, "They went downstairs to check the generator."
Damn!
Chen Yihan finally understood. The monster he had hit was the one that would attack David Drayton and the others in the basement in the next part of the plot. He had just happened to hit it with the pickup truck.
Hearing that David Drayton and the others were already in the basement, Chen Yihan quickly got up and ran towards the basement, shouting, "Everyone stay here, don't move!"
As Chen Yihan ran past Norton, he noticed that Norton's brows were furrowed.
But Chen Yihan didn't have time to think about Norton's thoughts. The battle in the basement had probably already started. If the plot changed and David Drayton was in danger, not only would Main Mission 2 fail, but he would also lose 500 Main God Points, which he couldn't accept.
