Before Liu Yun could react, the white light disappeared.
She raised her hand to touch her forehead. It wasn’t painful or warm, but she felt that something had been implanted into her mind.
Ding!
[Successfully unlocked the Dimensional Space!]
Liu Yun waited for a while after receiving the notification, but nothing happened.
She thought for a moment before asking, "System, how do I use the Dimensional Space?"
When she asked, the System replied, [Player, you can access the Dimensional Space through the System control panel or by using your mind.]
Receiving the System’s answer, Liu Yun closed her eyes and tried hard to locate the Dimensional Space within her mind.
After trying for more than five minutes, she finally sensed the transparent cube floating inside her consciousness.
"Found it!"
Opening her eyes, Liu Yun grabbed the half-empty bottle of mineral water and thought, ’Store!’
The moment she thought about storing the mineral water inside the Dimensional Space, the bottle disappeared from her hand.
Witnessing this, Liu Yun’s eyes lit up. "Heavens! Is this the legendary space ability mentioned in those novels?! It’s so convenient!"
Clenching her fists, she laughed happily. "This world is so interesting!"
Standing up from the ground, she excitedly searched the store but found nothing useful. Feeling disappointed, she muttered, "Forget it. I will see if there are any useful things later."
Now that she had eaten her fill and acquired the Dimensional Space, it was time for her to think about the side mission.
Opening the mission panel, Liu Yun checked the time and saw that less than eight hours remained before the time limit expired.
Rubbing her chin, she looked out through the broken glass windows. Seeing that the sun had slowly begun to sink toward the west, Liu Yun started planning how to get close to her mission target.
Meanwhile, Gu Lingjian and Chen Chuan had searched the nearby stores but hadn’t found even a trace of Liu Yun.
Hiding behind a half-collapsed wall, Chen Chuan looked at Gu Lingjian and said worriedly, "Captain, she must have left this area. What should we do now?"
Every passing minute meant Mu Nan was one step closer to becoming a complete zombie.
Gu Lingjian’s fingers tightened around his gun, but his expression remained calm.
After a moment of thought, he looked at the empty street and said, "Keep searching. There are no zombies right now. This is our chance."
"Yes, Captain." With that, the two of them continued their search for Liu Yun.
While the two of them searched the outskirts of the city, time passed in the blink of an eye.
Four hours later, when the sky had changed color, Liu Yun finally stood up from the ground. Stretching her stiff limbs, she let out a yawn before wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes.
Looking out through the dirty glass windows, she said, "The sun is finally gone."
Opening the mission panel, Liu Yun checked the remaining time and saw that less than four hours remained before the time limit expired.
Seeing that it was the right time to begin her plan, Liu Yun opened the System Mall and entered the Medical Center Section.
In an instant, a transparent blue screen appeared before her, displaying three icons: Basic Medicine, First Aid, and Special Medicine.
Without checking the Basic Medicine or First Aid sections, she clicked on the Special Medicine icon.
When she saw the only image of a glass vial displayed on the blue screen, Liu Yun smiled and said, "As expected. The System wouldn’t give me a side mission without giving me a way to save the infected person."
After saying that, she clicked on the image. A second later, another blue screen appeared.
On the left side was an image of a small glass vial containing a clear blue liquid. On the right side was detailed information about the medicine.
[Genesis Rebirth Serum]
[Quality: Mythical]
[Grade: Transcendent]
[Amount: 1 Vial (40 ml)]
[Shelf Life: Permanent]
[Purchase Limit: 1 Vial / Month]
[Price: 500,000 Celestial Stones]
[Information: Capable of completely purging the X Virus from a host who has entered the irreversible mutation stage, reconstructing damaged cells, repairing necrotic tissue, and restoring cognitive function.

[Side Effect: The recipient will experience extreme pain during cellular reconstruction. Temporary unconsciousness is highly likely.]
[Important Note: Once full zombification is complete and the original consciousness has been permanently lost, the serum can no longer restore the target.]
[Buy] [Exit]
When Liu Yun saw the price tag, she gasped in shock. "Heavens! This medicine is so expensive!"
Compared to the price of the Dimensional Space, the Genesis Rebirth Serum was incredibly expensive.
Looking at the high price tag, Liu Yun suddenly had the impulse to abandon the side mission. However, when she thought about the future emergence of another high-level zombie general who could kill her any moment, she clenched her jaw and hardened her resolve.
Closing her eyes, she decisively pressed the [Buy] button.
Ding!
[Thank you for your purchase, Player. The item has been delivered to your inventory.]
The moment Liu Yun heard the System notification, she opened her eyes.
She then looked at her remaining Celestial Stones displayed on the screen. Seeing the drop in the number, her heart hurt so much she almost couldn’t breathe.
Grasping her heart, she wailed in pain, "No~! My Celestial Stone!"
After crying for her Celestial Stones, she let out a helpless sigh. Now that she had bought the ultra-expensive medicine, she couldn’t let her mission target die.
Closing the System Mall, she opened the Mission List and checked the location of her mission target. After marking the location, Liu Yun moved the cabinets blocking the door aside before leaving the abandoned store.
With the Beginner Protection Shield still activated, there was nothing that could kill her. Full of confidence, Liu Yun ran toward her mission target’s location as fast as she could.
