Just as Liu Yun ran through a street in the office-building district, the System notification suddenly rang in her mind.

Ding!

A second later, a transparent blue screen appeared before her.

[Side Mission: Save One Infected Human]

[Time Limit: 3 Hours]

[Reward: To Be Announced]

[Penalty: To Be Announced]

[Accept] [Reject]

Liu Yun tilted her head and frowned slightly when she saw the reward and punishment. For some reason, she had a bad feeling about this mission.

Stopping in her tracks, she asked, "System, why is the penalty and reward for this side mission listed as ’To Be Announced’?"

The System replied, "Player, every mission and every choice you make will affect this world. Whether you accept this mission or not, the future will change. The consequences of your choice cannot be predicted until the choice is made."

Liu Yun pondered the answer before asking, "System, what will happen if I reject this side mission?"

[The Player may discover the answer after making the choice.]

Knowing the System had no intention of giving her a direct answer, Liu Yun thought, ’I wonder what reward I will get for completing this side mission. Maybe I can get another Random Skill Card. I might as well give it a try rather than miss this opportunity.’

Making her decision, she raised her hand and pressed the [Accept] button. After accepting the mission, Liu Yun opened the Mission Panel.

[Side Mission: Save One Infected Human]

[Time Limit: 2 Hours 59 Minutes]

[Reward: To Be Announced]

[Penalty: To Be Announced]

[Status: Ongoing]

Based on her experience with the previous mission, Liu Yun knew that the System would never issue an impossible task. Since this mission also required saving an infected human, the target should be somewhere nearby.

With that thought in mind, Liu Yun said, "System, help me scan the area. See if there are any infected humans nearby."

[Scanning in progress.]

Ding!

[One infected human detected.]

[Target Location: 120 Meters Northeast.]

"As expected. The mission target is nearby." Liu Yun muttered before pressing the [Track] button on the mission panel.

When the marking appeared on the map, she didn’t waste any second and ran toward the marked location.

Fifteen minutes later, she panted slightly and stopped outside a half-collapsed office building.

After scanning the surroundings, she noticed movement inside. Without making a sound, Liu Yun quickly found a hiding spot nearby.

Hiding behind a collapsed wall, she lowered her voice and said, "System, help me scan the building."

[Scanning in progress.]

Ding!

[Thirteen ability users, forty ordinary humans, and one infected human are detected inside the building.]

[Recommendation: Approach with caution.]

After receiving the information, Liu Yun asked, "System, can you locate the infected human?"

[Yes.]

As soon as the System answered, a new blue screen appeared before her. Instead of a 2D map, the display showed a detailed 3D map of the office building’s interior.

Liu Yun zoomed in and carefully studied the map for a while before saying, "System, help me generate the safest route to the infected human."

Ding!

[Generating route.]

Ding!

[Route generation complete.]

[The Player may check the route on the map.]

As soon as the System’s mechanical voice fell, a green line immediately appeared on the 3D map.

Seeing this, Liu Yun smiled and sincerely said, "Thank you, System."

[It is my pleasure to serve you, Player.]

For some reason, Liu Yun thought she could detect a trace of satisfaction in the System’s mechanical voice.

Raising an eyebrow slightly, she secretly wondered, ’The more I interact with this System, the more human it feels. Is it really an automatic system, or is there someone controlling it behind the scenes?’

Although she was curious, Liu Yun didn’t have time to pursue the answer. Right now, her priority was saving the infected human.

Pushing those thoughts aside, she followed the green route on the map while trying her best to move quietly.

While she was on her way, Ye Jin and Liu Ruyan finally came out of the office room.

Looking at Ye Jin’s satisfied and refreshed expression, everyone could guess what he and Liu Ruyan had been doing behind the locked door at a glance.

Walking toward the captain of his bodyguard team, Ye Jin asked, "Can we leave now?"

The captain nodded. "Young Master, the supplies have been loaded. We can leave whenever you wish."

Receiving the answer, Ye Jin gloatingly glanced at the unconscious man before raising his chin. "Let’s leave now."

"Yes, Young Master." Following the order, the captain raised his hand and shouted, "All of you, get into the buses!"

With that, Ye Jin walked out of the building with Liu Ruyan in his arms, followed by his bodyguards and the remaining survivors.

After everyone boarded the armored vehicles and buses, the convoy departed, kicking up clouds of dust as it drove away.

Watching the convoy disappear into the distance, Liu Yun asked, "System, are there still people inside the building?"

[Player, three ordinary humans and one infected human are detected inside the building.]

Hearing this, Liu Yun sneered. "Indeed. Not everyone is like that group of soldiers."

After making that comment, Liu Yun continued sneaking toward the infected human’s location.

Meanwhile, inside the office building, two young men peered outside through a broken window.
