"Go hunting? Ah..." Suddenly, Laylah frowned at Hikaru then gave him a look of disappointment.
"What kind of look is that?" Hikaru felt a little confused when he saw her.
"Nothing! Wait a minute, I need to change clothes."
Laylah finished and closed the door, Hikaru shook his head and said, "I'll wait for you in the living room."
After that, Hikaru left. He went to the living room, sat on the sofa, and looked outside.
The sky was still covered with dark clouds, the temperature had also dropped sharply, as it was 20 degrees Celsius.
In the near future, the temperature will decrease rapidly, and the earth will also fall into an ice age.
Currently, the water that this villa was using was gotten from the ground. However, that water was not used for drinking but for other activities.
Either way, he and Velys didn't know if there was a zombie virus in the country.
Besides... in a few more days, the temperature would drop below 0 degrees Celsius, and the groundwater would also freeze.
At that time, the main source of water that he could use was bottled mineral water that he got from the water purification plants.
Therefore, he needed to collect more supplies, especially clean water.
Besides... he also didn't want the other main characters to be able to stock up on supplies.
Although he didn't know how many of the main characters had yet to appear, if he collected all the supplies in this city, they would definitely have to go elsewhere to find supplies.
As such, Hikaru would be able to temporarily stay away from the other protagonists.
Besides, he would also have enough supplies to be able to survive until the end of the apocalypse, no, to be more precise, until his quest is over.
Velys came and sat beside him: "Are you thinking about Rina?"
He shook his head and said, "No, I was just thinking about when the ice age will come."
When Velys heard that, she also looked up at the sky, she then nodded and said: "Currently, the temperature is dropping by 3-4 degrees Celsius every day. If it continues like this, in probably a week, the temperature will drop and even the water will freeze."
"In a month, I'm afraid we won't be able to use the groundwater anymore. However, don't worry because I have this."
Velys said as she raised her arms, a ball of water the size of a basketball hovered above her palm.
"That's..." Hikaru startled, looking at the water ball in Velys' hand.
"Is water. I also tested it, this water is drinkable. In a day, I can produce about 20 liters of water. If I try harder, I can make 50 liters of water."
Hikaru was surprised to hear that, he didn't think that Velys could create water.
"Velys... why can you create water?"
Velys shrugged and said, "I make ice, then use fire to melt it. Fire also helps us to clean the impurities inside the ice. That's why it's almost pure water."
"You can make 20 liters of water a day?" Hikaru asked.
Velys nodded: "Um... I think... if I become stronger I can make more water."CHeCk for new stories on no/v/el/bin(.)c0m
Hikaru couldn't believe it, so he stood up and immediately hugged Velys: "AAA!!! Velys, you are wonderful, you are my guardian angel."
Velys also smiled happily, while hugging him tightly: "Hahaha... no, these are all things I need to do to help you."
"Great! Velys, you solved a problem that I thought I would never be able to solve." Hikaru spoke truthfully.
As he said, clean water played an important role in life.
Not only for drinking but also for many other activities.
"I know! I haven't paid the rent yet, if I want to stay here I have to work for you, right?"
Hikaru nodded, a sense of triumph spreading through his mind. Then, he took a deep breath, stabilized his emotions, and pulled out a paper map.
"I want to know the areas with abandoned mansions or buildings on the outskirts of the city. Besides, I want to know where the supplies are located around those areas."
Laylah looked at the map on the table, rubbed her chin thoughtfully for a moment, then pointed at the map and said, "This place and this place. These are two places with a relatively sparse population, however, around these places there are still gas stations and convenience stores."
"This place is a villa area but it has been abandoned, there are not any convenience stores around."
Hikaru nodded, looked at the map and asked: "So... if we are leaving from this mansion, where is the nearest convenience store?"
Laylah didn't think much and pointed at a place 5 kilometers away towards the city.
"This place has a gas station combined with a convenience store."
Hikaru nodded and said, "Okay, we'll go there first today."
"Are you sure? The amount of food and supplies in that place isn't much, it's just a small shop after all."
He shook his head and said, "It's okay, even if it's little, it can still help us last a few days."
After that, he and Laylah left the villa, and headed for the gas station he had chosen, it was about 5 kilometers from the abandoned mansion.
In fact, although it was about 5 kilometers from his residence to that gas station. Hikaru and Laylah decided not to use the car to move but to run there.
After all, they had become evolved people, so running 5 kilometers was extremely simple for them.
...
After more than 20 minutes, Hikaru and Laylah hid in the distance, looking towards the gas station.
Laylah frowned and said, "Someone seems to have been to this place."
"Hm? How do you know?" Hikaru asked, confused.
"Look at that convenience store door, it was violently broken open. Like someone kicked that door hard. Do you think Zombies can do that?"
"Besides... you should look at the ground and the electric pole over there. There's blood and impact marks there, plus tire tracks on the ground, I think this is where the human-to-zombie fight arose."
"According to my speculation, perhaps someone drove here to collect food. However, he was attacked by zombies, so he had to run away."
"On the way to escape, zombies clung to his car so he decided to hit the power pole on the other side to force the zombie to fall out of the car."
Hikaru was startled when he heard that. He didn't think that with just a few small details Laylah would be able to know so much information.
"Don't look down on the police, my ability to reason and collect clues is not to be looked down on." Layla laughed.
Hikaru inched away after hearing that, keeping his distance from her even further than before.
Layla: "..."
"Oi! Are you avoiding me?"
Hikaru shrugged, "Of course. I am most afraid of intelligent people like you, it is best to have little contact with you."
Laylah felt like punching him in the face to satisfy her anger.
"Wait! Looks like someone is coming..." Hikaru saw a car approaching this place.
Fortunately, he and Laylah were hiding more than 20 meters from the gas station, so the driver did not seem to notice them.
However, the next scene surprised Hikaru a bit.
He saw a dog more than 1 meter tall, with white fur. On its back was a beautiful girl with dazzling platinum hair.
"Rina?"
