Yellow light

[Your Da Vinci locked eyes with the yoga pants-less female zombie and realized she was indeed the type that often caught your attention while scrolling through short videos. It decided that, when capable, it would fulfill your heart's desire. No, satisfy your wishes.]

[Da Vinci noticed that the female zombie's eyes were a light green, which appeared rather lovely. It thought of itself as a frog that had been single for three months, suddenly feeling somewhat melancholy.]

"Hehe~" Ming rolled over in bed, unsure of what to say. After all, it was up to Da Vinci to decide how to handle the situation, so he let it be.

"Light green eyes? Isn't that an elite monster?"

Ming furrowed his brow, recalling the Spider Woman he had shot dead not long ago—an elite monster with green eyes.

[Your Da Vinci saw the female zombie approaching and hurriedly leaped out of the room, ready to flee. After all, undressing someone and then brazenly making eye contact was rather cheeky.]

[It bounced into the hallway and found the female zombie still following, but with no other reaction.]

[Your Da Vinci suddenly thought that zombies didn't seem to be very interested in frog brains...]

[Upon this realization, it felt a little unfair. They were all creatures, wasn't this naked discrimination? Was Ming's brain more appealing than a frog's?]

[It believed it should take some practical action to protest this discrimination.]

"Can you not court death?"

Ming hastily got out of bed, grabbed his heavy crossbow, and prepared to head out. If that foolish frog tried to lick the zombie with its tongue, even if Da Vinci had reduced edible traits, the zombie would still get angry, right? 

One swing of the frying pan and you would be dead, understood?

[Your Da Vinci observed the yoga pants-less female zombie sniffing as if detecting something. Suddenly, her gaze fell on the doorway of apartment 2102 next door. She let out a roar and charged, leaping over Da Vinci's head, brandishing the frying pan to furiously bash the door of apartment 2102, all the while growling and howling.]

[Your Da Vinci cocked its head, watching the yoga pants-less female zombie attack the door, feeling utterly ignored and quite furious!]

[It bounced in front of her and spat, then gave her a disdainful look as if to say, "Whose brain do you look down on?"]

[It found that the female zombie continued to smash the door, completely ignoring it, and felt thoroughly overlooked, its young heart suffering 999999 points of extreme humiliation.]

[It decided to give the female zombie a little punishment and activated its retrieval ability on the frying pan she was holding.]

[collection successful]

"Damn it!" Ming, who originally wanted to go out and save the frog, saw these messages and turned around to close the door, angrily lying back on the bed.

That naughty frog, Da Vinci, had only four slots in its travel backpack after its upgrade and evolution, meaning it could only bring four items and similar items could not be stacked.

It went up to the 21st floor, first took someone's yoga pants, then a bedside table, and finally, feeling discriminated against by the zombie, took her frying pan as well. This trip used up three slots in the travel backpack, leaving only one slot left.

Ming lay on the bed, shaking his head, comforting himself with a hand on his chest, thinking that Da Vinci was a scout. Yes, a qualified scout. An excellent scout.

However, what comforted him was that it seemed zombies genuinely didn't like frog brains, and its reduced edible trait was reliable. From now on, he wouldn't be too worried when the little frog went out.

He hoped it would make good use of the last slot and bring back something useful, like toilet paper. 

[After taking the frying pan, your Da Vinci still felt unsatisfied and activated its retrieval ability on the shirt worn by the yoga pants-less female zombie.]

[ collection successful]

[Your Da Vinci looked at the now completely naked female zombie and felt a bit better inside. In a great mood, it prepared to head home.]

"Whew~" Ming let out a long sigh. Well, you little frog, you really didn't "disappoint" me.

However, this frog didn't go upstairs for anything. There was an elite zombie on the 21st floor. This elite zombie was currently ramming another apartment door, and it could be concluded that she wouldn't ram it for no reason. There might be survivors inside.

Boom! A loud noise came from upstairs, and Ming sat up, looking at the ceiling and listening carefully to the movement upstairs.

[Just as your Da Vinci was about to head home, it heard a loud noise behind it. Turning its head, it saw that the naked female zombie had broken through the wooden door, successfully attracting its attention.]

[It thought it necessary to check out the commotion and hopped to the doorway, watching the female zombie rush into the room.]

[Your Da Vinci saw a frail young man inside the room, holding a kitchen knife.]

[It noticed that when the young man saw the female zombie who had rushed in, with her curvy figure and charming appearance, she was wearing nothing...]

[Your Da Vinci realized that the young man's eyes were wide open, and his pupils were filled with the silhouette of the female zombie, clearly forgetting the kitchen knife in his hand.]

[Your Da Vinci didn't like such bloody scenes, so it raised one of its front paws to cover its left eye while its right eye saw the female zombie pounce on the young man, straddling him and starting to bite, blood spurting...]

[Da Vinci shook his head, thinking that the young man's death was because of his lustful thoughts.]

"Well, little frog, it's not easy for you to understand this truth."

"So, don't think about bringing back a female zombie."

At this point, Ming was already curled up on the sofa, nibbling on a tomato to replenish his energy, and planning his next move.

After all, the first chapter of the apocalypse game would eventually come to an end, and the second chapter would begin. No matter what the content of the second chapter would be, as long as he was well-prepared, there would be no problem. The virus-blocking agents sold in the apocalypse store were essential, as no one could guarantee absolute safety during the apocalypse.

[Your Da Vinci looked at the bloody scene and turned around, hopping into the fire escape, ready to go home.]

[It felt that this trip was truly fruitful and thought that Ming, as its owner, should be very grateful to have such a hardworking traveling frog.]

[It hopped down the fire escape stairs from the 21st floor, and after a few hops, it reached the 20th floor's fire escape landing. It looked at the pile of zombie corpses below the stairs and thought, who was so lacking in civic-mindedness? Wasn't this blocking the way up and down the stairs?]

[As your Da Vinci wondered if you were the one responsible for this, it noticed something flashing with a yellow light at the fire door on the 19th floor.]

[Originally planning to go straight home, it suddenly became interested and hopped over the zombie corpses in the stairwell to reach the fire escape door on the 19th floor.]

[It looked at the yellow flashing object in front of it, which had a round egg shape at the bottom and a stick on top. I was very curious about what it was.]

"A round egg at the bottom and a stick on top?" Ming frowned, trying to figure out what kind of object it was, especially since it was flashing with a yellow light.

Why was Da Vinci, the simpleton, so abstract in describing things? Couldn't it be a little more specific?

Hold on! Ming suddenly remembered that when the first chapter of the apocalypse game was introduced, besides personal achievement tasks, there were also random hidden tasks marked with a yellow exclamation mark.

!!!

Indeed, Da Vinci did not describe it incorrectly. The exclamation mark looked exactly like that. However, such tasks came with failure penalties. If completed, everyone would be happy; if not, penalties would be incurred.

Ming felt that this kind of task was more suitable for teams to take on. As a solo player, it was better to avoid it if possible. Being alone was already tough enough, taking on a difficult task would be too reckless. If the task couldn't be completed, the penalties would outweigh the gains.

The little frog, let's go home. Don't touch it! There are tasty bugs at home!

[Your Da Vinci looked at the yellow exclamation mark and liked it more and more as it stared at it. It hopped forward, passing through the exclamation mark, which disappeared in mid-air.]

[Ding~ Your Da Vinci has successfully accepted a random hidden task. Since it's a useless little frog, the task is directly assigned to the host. Please complete the task as soon as possible; otherwise, you will be subject to failure penalties.]

"…"

Damn it!
