Chapter 120: Chapter 115: Drawing a New Skill

"Alright," Xiao Yi answered, "but in return, after completing that task, I want to meet with the Doctor."

"...Doctor?"

Karim had indeed heard Jed mention a Doctor who was secretly researching a vaccine and Jed had also told Karim the location of the Doctor’s secret laboratory.

"Of course," Karim nodded his head.

With the negotiation thus settled, Xiao Yi said no more and returned to his room to prepare for tomorrow.

Early the next morning, Karim had a car and a map ready for Xiao Yi and his team. In the city, a car was essential and, as it happened, Xiao Yi had previously obtained a driver’s license and was still capable of driving.

Accompanying Xiao Yi was Xu Woshi. Only with Xu Woshi by his side could Xiao Yi feel at ease, and if there were too many mutants, Xiao Yi wasn’t confident that he could handle them.

The two of them got into the car and, guided by Xu Yingguang, started heading towards the power station.

From the Tower, Karim watched the slowly departing car, his heart unavoidably filled with worry.

Are these young people really up to the task? Unfortunately, he was short on manpower, or else he could have sent someone to assist them.

Just then, a noisy commotion erupted inside the Tower. Startled, Karim hurried towards the source of the noise.

"What’s going on?"

"Karim! Someone on the 14th floor has turned into a mutant! We can only block the stairway on the fourteenth floor temporarily. The doctor is trying to find a way to rescue the people!"

"There are children on that floor! Karim, think of something quick!"

After a moment of silence, with everyone else expecting a solution, Karim finally said, "I understand. I will think of something."

After saying this, Karim turned and headed elsewhere.

Everyone thought Karim was going to prepare something, so they didn’t stop him, but in reality, Karim quietly left the Tower.

"...There’s no other way. If things continue like this, everyone is going to die. I must do something."

Then, Karim drove to Lair’s stronghold.

...

Meanwhile, Xiao Yi had not been driving long before he had to get out of the car.

In front of them on their route, mutants filled the road, and their current vehicle clearly couldn’t withstand so many impacts from mutants.

Mutants indeed stayed off the roads, but that was only the case on major roads. This area was in the Old City District, where major roads were few and narrow alleyways were countless.

The power station was halfway up a mountain that was surrounded by a residential area. The area’s roads were narrow, barely squeezing in two cars.

In such alleyways, filled densely with two- and three-story residential buildings and with gaps between them turning into little backstreets, mutants crammed inside and around the buildings, making the roads impassable for vehicles.

The Tower hadn’t been able to come out and repair the power station for this very reason, and Karim had warned Xiao Yi that their best approach was to move between the rooftops of these buildings.

Since the area mostly consisted of two- and three-story buildings, they might as well treat it like parkour. Only in this way could they avoid startling the endless horde of mutants out of sight.

After getting out of the car, Xiao Yi immediately sprinted and swiftly climbed up onto the rooftop of a two-story building, then scanned the surroundings.

"Right... every small road, even each alley, is packed with mutants. And indeed, the gaps between each building aren’t big, and the heights are similar; moving between rooftops is definitely better."

Having confirmed the situation, Xiao Yi tried to call Xu Woshi up, but at that moment, he heard the sounds "hmm~" "ah~" coming from below.

Looking down, Xiao Yi saw Xu Woshi gripping the window ledge, straining with all her might and even turning her little face red in her attempt to climb up.

For Xiao Yi, with his physical fitness, climbing a building was not an issue, but it was different for Xu Woshi.

However, some might have forgotten that when Xiao Yi had cleared the first instance, one of the rewards was an enhancement to the physical fitness of all Dragon Country People.

Thus, although Xu Woshi wasn’t as capable as Xiao Yi, she was also no slouch, and moving between rooftops shouldn’t pose a problem for her.

"...What are you doing?" Xiao Yi asked wryly.

"Xiao Yi, wait for me!" Xu Woshi answered, "I’ll be up in a moment!"

"..." Xiao Yi fell silent for a moment before making a suggestion, "Is there a chance you could use the stairs? The doors to these houses are all unlocked."

"...Oh."

Xu Woshi nodded, let go, then sat down on the ground with a painful grunt.

Xiao Yi slapped his own face and sighed in exasperation.

[To render Brother Xiao Yi speechless, that’s quite impressive.]

[With this comparison, Brother Xiao Yi seems more and more normal. Honestly, his character is almost on the verge of collapsing.]

Once Xu Woshi reached the rooftop, Xiao Yi asked her another question, "There’s something else, Xu Woshi, do you remember the shared ability we discussed yesterday?"

"Hm? Yes, what about it?"

"That ability requires you to drink a bit of my blood to share it, and it only lasts for thirty minutes each time. So going forward, you’ll need to drink my blood frequently. Are you okay with that?"

Xu Yingguang had brought this up to Xiao Yi, and although hard to accept, he had to admit the skill was crucial. If Xu Woshi could possess greater physical fitness, it would significantly boost her ability to protect herself.

So, despite the difficulty, Xu Yingguang eventually agreed doubtfully.

"Drink blood, huh? I get it!" Xu Woshi didn’t hold back at all and immediately seized Xiao Yi’s hand, starting to gnaw on it.

"..." Xiao Yi was silent for a moment, then took out a Dagger-shaped Origin, and said to Xu Woshi, "Is there a chance we could use some more modern tool instead of biting like a little puppy—and how much of your saliva do you plan to leave on me?"

"..." Xu Woshi silently released his hand.

After Xiao Yi got his hand back, he pressed the Origin against his finger and applied some pressure, making a cut and squeezing out a drop of blood.

He presented the blood drop to Xu Woshi.

"Oh! Modern tools really are useful! Xiao Yi, you’re really smart!" Xu Woshi couldn’t help but exclaim, then sucked on Xiao Yi’s finger.

"..." Being praised for his intelligence was usually one of Xiao Yi’s favorite things, but for some reason, being praised by Xu Woshi didn’t make him happy at all.

Just then, Xiao Yi suddenly heard a system notification.

[Detected someone praising your intelligence, Talent Effect Three of "Abstract Reality" has been activated, Skill extraction in progress...]

[C-level Skill acquired—Bull Charge]

Xiao Yi: "?"
