Chapter 23

Chen Fei's eyes lit up, and he suddenly remembered the character attribute panel. He recalled that he still had an unused attribute point, so he hurriedly entered the interface of the character attribute panel.

Host Name: Chen Fei

Level: LV1

Strength: 0.7

Constitution: 0.7

Spirit: 1.1

Agility: 1.0

Evolution Level: 0

Remaining Attribute Points: 1 point

Looking at the plus signs after the four attributes, Chen Fei fell into deep thought. The attribute points seemed insufficient!

Strength and Constitution, both below normal values, clearly needed to be increased. Although Chen Fei was not yet clear about the effects of Spirit, it should be as important as Agility.

So, he was faced with a multiple-choice question: A, B, C, or D. There was no correct answer, only a need to weigh the pros and cons.

Increase Strength?

Chen Fei felt his strength. With his current 0.7 attribute value, adding 1 attribute point would increase his strength by 1.3 times, making him a powerhouse!

Increasing Constitution would affect his physical fitness, wound healing and recovery, as well as his body's defense and endurance, all of which were equally important!

Chen Fei was a bit vague about the concept of Spirit. He guessed it was related to intelligence, but even if it was important, it was clear that this first attribute point should be allocated elsewhere.

Finally, Agility was straightforward, directly affecting his reaction speed and physical speed.

By the process of elimination, the attribute point choice went from four to three, but Chen Fei's face still showed a painful expression, as if he were constipated.

Why can't they just give me three attribute points?

Chen Fei repeated this thought dozens of times. After pulling out a few strands of hair, he gritted his teeth and made his choice!

Add 1 attribute point to Agility.

Agility directly affects reaction speed and physical speed. After deep consideration, Chen Fei chose to enhance his speed.

Chen Fei's base speed was an average of 1, quite standard. After adding the attribute point, his speed and reaction ability would double, making him faster than a world champion in a 100-meter dash.

With such speed, Chen Fei could easily outrun zombies over short distances. Improving his reaction speed would also enhance his crossbow shooting speed, making Agility the most suitable choice for him at the moment.

After Chen Fei confirmed the attribute point addition, his eyes fell into darkness again.

......

The next morning, Chen Fei was woken up by Nan Gong Jin's ear-pulling hand. When Nan Gong Jin pulled Chen Fei out of bed, her expression froze...

"Xiao Fei Fei, why didn't I notice before that your body is quite well-built! Nice lines!"

Chen Fei then noticed that he was only wearing a pair of boxer shorts and instinctively covered himself.

"Xiao Fei Fei, hurry up and make breakfast! I'm hungry. We're going to save Qing Jie today, so make it a big meal. We need to prepare in advance!"

Chen Fei watched Nan Gong Jin leave the room and made a fist as if to punch, but Nan Gong Jin suddenly turned around with a teasing smile. Chen Fei then noticed that the living room mirror could reflect him!

Chen Fei could only blush and pretend to scratch his head, then reluctantly closed the door.

While dressing, Chen Fei noticed that his body had undergone some subtle changes. His lean figure now had more defined muscle lines, likely due to the increase in Agility.

After breakfast, Chen Fei and Nan Gong Jin began to change into their gear for the final preparations before departure.

As if to cooperate with their mission, the sky was clear and sunny. The best time for the rescue operation would be when the sun was high at noon.

With the storage space, Chen Fei felt much more at ease. All the equipment and clothing were transferred to the storage space, so he didn't need to worry about carrying a quiver or running out of arrows.

Using the storage space, Chen Fei came up with a few tricks, like holding a military dagger in his left hand and suddenly producing it in his right hand, which could have a surprising and unexpected effect. Although it was just a trick using the storage space, it was very practical!

Chen Fei roughly estimated that if he fully utilized the storage space, stacking items up to the 4-meter limit, even if he stored all the food and supplies from the living room and apartment 1101, it would only take up half the space, leaving the rest for emergencies.

While Chen Fei and Nan Gong Jin were discussing the route to the Central South City Hospital by the window, the sound of a helicopter and a broadcast reached their ears.

Broadcast: Survivors, please pay attention! Survivors, please pay attention! At 11:00 AM, the military will conduct a cleaning operation in Central South City, destroying any moving objects on the streets. To prevent accidental injuries, please stay indoors. The cleaning operation will last for three days. Thank you for your cooperation. The military will provide assistance as soon as possible.

Survivors, please pay attention! Survivors, please pay attention!......

"Finally, the authorities are taking action! Are we saved?"

Nan Gong Jin's expression was somewhat excited. The authorities' action indeed gave many people hope.

However, Chen Fei was not concerned about this. He was preparing to rescue Mu Meiqing at noon. The military's operation to clear the zombies in Central South City at that time would attract many zombies, making the rescue easier.

Chen Fei did not directly answer Nan Gong Jin's question but changed the subject.

"We can use this opportunity to save Qing Jie!"

"Chen Fei, how are we going to solve the car problem? Although the city hospital is only three streets away, running there on foot is not practical!" Nan Gong Jin asked worriedly.

Chen Fei waved a set of keys in front of Nan Gong Jin, looking somewhat smug.

"I've already prepared for this. I'll give you a surprise later!"

Nan Gong Jin pinched her chin and looked at Chen Fei suspiciously.

"Xiao Fei Fei, I've noticed you have a lot of secrets. It seems you were certain this would happen from the beginning..."

Chen Fei smiled ambiguously and did not continue the topic. Nan Gong Jin also tactfully did not press further.

......

Central South City Hospital, Third Floor, Orthopedic Ward 2

Mu Meiqing, huddled in the corner, slowly lifted her head. The seven days had made her face gaunt and her once rosy skin now looked sickly yellow. Hunger was draining the last bit of strength from her body.

The sound of the helicopter and the broadcast still echoed in her ears. The broadcast content showed no emotion on Mu Meiqing's face. The military only mentioned clearing the infected, with no specific timeline for rescue, making it a distant and uncertain hope.

Mu Meiqing looked at her watch: 10:13

Today was the last day of her agreement with Chen Fei!

If Chen Fei did not come by dusk, she would have to try to reach the cafeteria via the elevator. Her body needed food to recover.

Mu Meiqing took out a cookie from her pocket and ate it in small bites, then finished the last four chips. This was her last food, saved for today!

After drinking a small cup of water, Mu Meiqing closed her eyes again. She needed to rest and regain some strength before her action.

Boom!!

At 11:00 AM, a deafening explosion echoed throughout Central South City. Following the explosion, the sound of intense gunfire, mixed with explosions, filled the air.

At the same time, survivors in different locations across Central South City suddenly opened their eyes!

The military's cleaning operation had begun!

Chen Fei and Nan Gong Jin immediately went to the window to confirm the direction of the sounds, which were coming from the highway entrance. Clearly, the military's cleaning operation started there and would proceed along the main road, Wutong Road.

It was nearly noon, and the sun was scorching, providing ample light. No zombies were visible on the streets, only randomly parked vehicles and debris.

However, as the sounds of explosions and gunfire echoed through the city, zombies hiding in the shadows and buildings began to emerge onto the streets, growling and identifying the direction of the sounds, then gathering towards Wutong Road.

With the sounds attracting the zombies' attention, now was the best time for Chen Fei and his team to act!

"Jin Jie, it's time to move!"

Chen Fei reminded her, then walked out the door with his crossbow.
