NOVEL NEXT Chapter 40: Chapter 40
I don't know how long it took.
Maybe a quarter of an hour.
Or maybe even longer.
For Alice, every second seemed so far away.
Until Killua let go of her hair and sighed with satisfaction.
The girl was freed from the invisible bondage.
"Although I am very unfamiliar with it and my skills are quite crude."
Looking down at the girl who was cleaning with clumsy movements, Killua said lightly.
"But considering your efforts… you passed."
"Gu…"
Alice frowned and wiped her mouth.
Then he glared at Killua with an angry look.
"What slander, frame-up… I think you are just a pure pervert!"
"Thank you for the compliment."
Killua was quite unconcerned about such a harmless personal attack.
"Next, please continue to work hard. I'll go first…"
"…Wait!"
Seeing that Killua wanted to turn around and leave.
Alice hesitated for a moment but stopped him.
Killua glanced at her in confusion.
"Why, don't you have something urgent?"
The girl's voice was a little weak. After all, she had just received a "mental shock"
She didn't faint on the spot, which was already a manifestation of her good willpower.
"According to the distribution map of this hospital."
"The cold storage for storing serum is on the second underground floor."
"I'm in a very bad state now, and I can't deal with the zombies in the hospital."
"So… please help me."
"This is related to the life of an old man."
Having said this.
Even Killua couldn't help but have some respect for the girl in front of him.
The reason why the saint is hated is because she is generous to others.
And Alice is a practical person who practices what she preaches——
Although she was in such a miserable state by herself.
"I usually don't do things that don't benefit me."
Killua's answer made Alice's face pale and bitter.
That's right, how could such a man care about an old man he didn't know…
"But this time is an exception."
The surprise on the girl's face made Killua quite satisfied.
"I am very satisfied with your service just now."
"Just consider it as a 'tip'."
It seems that he is not completely hopeless.
Alice thought silently in his heart.
In this case… I have the obligation to "reform" him!
Even if he is a complete villain, he can definitely change his ways!
"Lead the way. It's rare that I feel like being a good person."
Killua's voice brought Alice back to her senses.
Then he realized that the former had walked a long distance away.
"Wait… There are many patients and nurses who have turned into zombies in the hospital!"
When Alice finally caught up with Killua.
An incredible picture appeared in front of her.
The zombies that were originally ferocious and chose to eat people.
But they followed Killua like loyal soldiers.
Clear all obstacles on his way forward – even if they were their "kind"!
"What's going on here… Can you control zombies?!"
As expected of an infinite game player, his thinking is more open than that of the natives of the copy.
He guessed the essence of this phenomenon at once.
"That's right."
Killua said without looking back.
"Stay by my side and don't attack these zombies controlled by me."
"You just need to point out the direction."
As soon as the voice fell, a message popped up in front of Killua.
[Player "Alice" wants to share the side quest "Blood of Sunset" with you, do you agree? ]
Hmm? Can side quests be shared?
Raising his eyebrows, Killua finally turned his head to look at the girl behind him.
The latter also cast his eyes on him and said as a matter of course.
"If there are benefits, you should be more motivated."
"… Indeed, you are quite smart."
Killua retracted his gaze and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Alice's mind turned quite fast.
In order to prevent herself from slacking off, she also used benefits to tempt herself.
Although he didn't buy into the moral kidnapping…
But the benefit bundling was indeed very effective.
...
[Side Quest: Sunset Blood (Shared)]
[Quest Description: An elderly man with a serious illness urgently needs a special serum. Find a blood transfusion device and the correct serum in the cold storage of a nearby hospital to save the elderly! ]
[Quest Target ①: Obtain a blood transfusion device (completed)]
[Quest Target ②: Obtain the correct serum (uncompleted)]
[Time limit: 51 minutes and 24 seconds remaining]
[Quest Reward: 5000 experience, 1 gold coin, 10 skill points, 10 attribute points]
[Note: Shared tasks will be rewarded according to task contributions]
...
"The reward is so high?!"
Killua was slightly surprised after glancing at the task information.
The income from this task alone.
Almost comparable to the bond reward of Saeko!
But in his opinion, the reward of this mission is not in line with the difficulty.
Although there are more zombies in this hospital, they are not difficult to deal with.
If Alice is in good condition, she can kill them by herself.
"The right serum… correct!"
Suddenly, Killua noticed a detail and asked.
"When you received the mission, did you ask the old man what kind of serum he needed?"
"What kind? Are there any categories of serum…"
Alice was slightly stunned, and seemed to realize something.
"I only heard that a special serum needs to be injected to stabilize the condition."
"Only the 'right' type of serum will work."
Killua walked to the door of the cold storage and tried to open the heavy door.
Although the power system has collapsed under the influence of EMP.
But the cold storage seems to have an emergency power supply and can still operate normally.
"Even if we can bring all the serum back."
"It is impossible to inject each one into the patient…."
"Then, what should we do?"
Finally, the girl who had not shown a panic expression even when Killua forced her to serve her before finally became nervous.
"Do you want to ask a doctor for advice?"
Killua said half-jokingly.
"Although they have become zombies."
Alice gritted his teeth and staggered out.
"There should still be enough time. I'll go back and find out the details and come back to tell you…"
"Forget it. You'll only add to the zombies on the street if you're like this."
Killua finally stopped keeping the secret and said loudly.
"I have other ways, but you need to stay away for a while."
"I'll come out with the correct serum in 5 minutes."
"Really?"
Seeing Killua's assurance that he could complete the task.
Alice gradually calmed down.
"Completing the task will also benefit me. Why should I lie to you."
Killua shrugged and waved to the girl.
"Remember to close the door when you go out."
Alice left the cold storage half-believingly.
When Killua was the only one left in the room.
He took out a chess piece and summoned a hot blonde figure.
"Hmm… Master, what time is it now?"
Seemingly just waking up, Shizuka came up and hugged Killua, murmuring.
"This time it's business."
Killua shook her shoulders with a smile.
Until the latter rubbed her eyes and was no longer confused, she pointed to the cold storage over there.
"I need to find a serum, and its patient characteristics are…"
That's right, Killua's method is to consult professionals.
Although Shizuka is a little too innocent.
But in terms of professional ability, she is not ambiguous.
After all, she is a top student who graduated from a medical university.
Five minutes later, the door of the cold storage suddenly opened.
Alice, who was waiting nearby, held her breath immediately
looked at Killua with hopeful eyes.
The latter glanced at her.
"Done."
