Taking a bath could trigger a task?
Su Hao roughly understood the conditions for task activation.
That is, to engage with new things and meaningful activities.
In that case, he couldn't just stay in one place and huddle together; he should move around, exploring the world in this apocalypse.
"Looks like I'll need to organize a convoy later."
What kind of convoy? A goddess convoy would be nice.
If you're not afraid of adolescent delusions, you could even call it the War God Convoy.
"Alright, Ming Lake it is." After confirming, Su Hao glanced at the sky outside.
It was 2 PM, and the sun was just beginning to set.
There were at most six hours until nightfall.
Clear Ming Lake tomorrow and then bathe?
No, Su Hao decisively rejected that idea.
Even waiting a while was uncomfortable, let alone a whole night.
Bathe after dark?
That wouldn't work either.
The darkness would impair visibility, increasing the danger.
The latest he could accept was dusk.
So the action had to be now.
Su Hao took out the Broad Hengdao from his space and donned his heavy armor in an instant, ready to set off.
Han Jiangxue saw this.
She exclaimed, "You're going to act now?"
Su Hao turned his head, "Waiting until tomorrow means a whole night, and it's more dangerous at night. Now is the best opportunity. Which would you choose?"
After hearing his analysis, Han Jiangxue was silent for a moment, then picked up the Miao Saber.
"Then I'll go with you."
"Can you still manage?"
"I can take down at most 15 zombies."
"Alright, I'll handle the rest."
With that, Su Hao turned and headed downstairs, and Han Jiangxue followed with her saber.
After descending the stairs.
The corpses in the previous hall were gone, but the bloodstains on the floor hadn't been cleaned.
Most of the people sleeping around had woken up, having rested enough.
But most of them didn't move, staying in place, either waiting or chatting.
The back door of the Sports Building was already blocked.
Apart from one glass door at the front, the rest were also blocked to prevent zombies from entering.
Seeing Su Hao and Han Jiangxue come down, everyone was a bit curious.
Su Hao, clad in heavy armor, walked through the middle of the hall with a nearly two-meter-tall frame, attracting all eyes, even more than Han Jiangxue.
Everyone watched curiously at first.
It wasn't until Su Hao headed for the door that they reacted.
"Wait a minute, in the middle of the day, what are you up to?"
Even Chen Zhiyu, who saw them, ran over.
"Bro, where are you going? Mind taking me along?"
Su Hao stopped, looked at everyone, and explained his plan.
"I'm planning to take advantage of the afternoon to clear the zombies around Ming Lake and then take a bath. Anyone want to join?"
With those words.
"?"
"!"
"!?"
Everyone was dumbfounded.
It's the apocalypse, and now you want to do what?
Clear the zombies around Ming Lake just to take a bath?!
Although everyone felt uncomfortable and wanted to bathe, was it worth the risk? There were at least dozens of zombies around Ming Lake, maybe even a hundred or two. Was it worth it just for a bath?
For ordinary people, preserving their lives meant that bathing wasn't a necessity.
Everyone looked at each other.
In the end, they all remained silent, pursing their lips, pretending they hadn't seen anything.
Su Hao glanced at everyone, then at Chen Zhiyu.
He smiled, "Are you still planning to come along?"
Chen Zhiyu:.......
Chen Zhiyu shook his head stiffly, taking a few steps back.
"I think... there's no need. It's only been three days since I last bathed... It's the apocalypse, we don't need to be so particular, just make do."
Saying that, he noticed Han Jiangxue behind Su Hao.
He suddenly realized, "Senior is going too?!"
Han Jiangxue held the Miao Saber and nodded, "Yes."
Chen Zhiyu couldn't believe it, stepping back a few more steps, looking at the two as if they were crazy.
Seeing he wasn't willing, Su Hao slightly nodded to Han Jiangxue, then turned and headed out.
The two quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.
The crowd began to murmur.
"Crazy."
"Are they insane, risking their lives just for a bath?"
"Might as well have a quickie after the bath."
"Shh, are you stupid, saying it out loud? What if they hear you?"
"So what if they do? Are they going to kill me?"
Other girls overheard and felt a mix of envy, fear, and complexity as they chatted with their friends.
"Sigh, I really want to bathe too. It's so sticky. Do you think they'll really manage to bathe?"
"I don't know. Let's see tonight. If they do manage to bathe, we can sneak over and try."
"What if there are zombies?"
"Then we'll just run back."
No matter what others said or thought.
Su Hao and Han Jiangxue were already on their way.
Not long after leaving, they encountered scattered zombies. Su Hao casually swung his sword, cutting down the zombies with ease.
Han Jiangxue followed, a step behind.
She recalled the looks from everyone earlier.
"They seem to think we're crazy, risking our lives just for a bath."
"What do you think?" Su Hao casually decapitated another zombie.
He didn't even bother aiming for the neck anymore.
This time, he sliced it in half at the waist, spilling its innards all over the ground, like a market stall selling pig and sheep offal.
Han Jiangxue watched from behind.
Facing such brutal beauty head-on.
She merely watched, her face subtly flushed as if naturally blushing, unlike makeup-applied blush.
At the same time, she subconsciously pressed her lips together, the slight force seeming to suppress some indescribable emotion.
And she spoke the truth, "I find it thrilling."
After cutting down the zombie, Su Hao flicked his blade, splattering black blood onto a nearby road sign, the crimson stain spreading towards Ming Lake.
"Thrilling is good."
After walking a bit more, they reached the vicinity of Ming Lake.
In front of them, nearly a hundred zombies wandered around the plaza by Ming Lake.
Su Hao first confirmed whether the water in Ming Lake was still clean.
After ensuring it was still clear.
He looked at the zombie horde, smiling, "There's something even more thrilling."
To bathe peacefully, these zombies had to be slaughtered.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be a safe environment; he didn't want to be chased by zombies halfway through bathing.
After setting his sights on the target.
"Time to go."
Su Hao turned back, showing Han Jiangxue a half-smile filled with reckless abandon.
Unlike his usual expression, now he anticipated battle and violence, his narrow eyes under his tousled hair gleaming with a dangerous light.
Han Jiangxue gritted her teeth, drew her Miao Saber, and nodded firmly.
"I'll try to keep up with you."
"Good."
Su Hao took out his final faceplate, gently fastening it to his helmet.
"Let's start cutting."
With that, he raised his sword, and before the echo of his words faded, he was already charging forward like an arrow.
The blade flashed like lightning, flesh and blood flying.
Accompanied by the scene before Han Jiangxue.
Su Hao was like a runaway bulldozer, exuding an intimidating aura, charging into the zombie horde with the fearless stance of a war god, beginning the massacre!
1v100, the advantage is mine!
