6: Chapter 6: Gathering Water, Zombies Arrive

Zhao Zihan frowned as well; there didn't seem to be any place to drink water here.

Captain Qin Hao thought about it and felt that since the little bird had brought them here, there must be a reason for it.

He looked around and finally gazed at the large trees; if his guess was correct, the water source should be stored inside the large trees.

Because these trees were simply too large.

Lin Mengyao answered Captain Qin Hao's words in a timely manner at this moment.

She said, "Yes, Captain, we have arrived. The place where the little bird drinks water is on these trees."

Captain Qin Hao nodded. These trees were indeed different from the ones they had seen at the beginning; they looked very much like breadfruit trees.

Immediately after, they watched the little bird fly to the top of the tree and start drinking water.

Rao Shuqing and the others suddenly realized that the water source was stored in the trees.

These trees were of varying heights, so it was easy to drink from them.

Captain Qin Hao said to Lu Shuang, "Lu Shuang, it is time to use your talent."

On their way, they had picked up quite a few sharp stones and pieces of wood, which would be perfect for Lu Shuang, who had the weapon-crafting talent, to make a stone axe.

Lu Shuang nodded. She selected the hardest piece of wood and a suitable stone, then began to manifest her talent.

Before long, a stone axe had been crafted, and it looked quite impressive.

Captain Qin Hao looked at the sharp stone axe and was somewhat stunned. With the bonus from this weapon-crafting talent, why did it feel like this stone axe was even stronger than those made of iron?

Good heavens, this talent was a bit overpowered. If there were a grading system, it should count as S-rank.

As for the remaining stones and wood, he put them away to use as reserves, and there was also a stone pile nearby.

[Obtained Wood × 10, Stone × 35]

Captain Qin Hao naturally took the axe and activated his talent, True Sight Eye.

[This is a tree that stores water. You can chop at a spot 1.5 meters high on its right side; that is its weakest point and also the highest point where it stores water.]

True Sight Eye lived up to its name, being so detailed. It could point out the weak spot without wasting any water.

Captain Qin Hao dispersed the women and began to swing the axe to chop.

"Eighty, eighty!"

Being naturally strong, plus the physical enhancement from being a Captain, he chopped through the tree in just a few strikes.

One could directly see the water inside!

"Wow, so much water, it's flowing out!"

Zhao Zihan said in surprise, jumping up and down happily.

"Ahhh, I'm dying of thirst, let it flow into my mouth."

Ling Xiaoke didn't care about being reserved anymore and used her mouth to catch it directly.

"I want some too, I want some too."

Zhao Zihan said hurriedly.

After the two finished drinking, Captain Qin Hao looked at Lin Mengyao and smiled, "Meng Yao, are you thirsty? Go ahead and drink; your contribution was the greatest."

Rao Shuqing felt a bit annoyed. Bad Captain Qin Hao, she was a teacher, why didn't he let her drink first?

However, she also knew that Lin Mengyao's contribution was indeed the greatest.

She praised her, "That's right, Meng Yao, thanks to you. You are truly a good student and our great hero."

"Go and drink some water quickly."

Lin Mengyao was flattered by the praise from Captain Qin Hao and the others; her heart was pounding like a deer bumping around.

She said shyly, "Actually, it's nothing. Lu Shuang and Captain Qin Hao contributed more; they should drink first."

She felt that without Lu Shuang crafting the stone axe and the powerful Captain Qin Hao chopping the tree, they wouldn't have been able to drink so quickly; their contributions were quite significant.

Rao Shuqing was dying of thirst and immediately looked sullen. Her good student didn't know how to tease her, but she also didn't know how to look out for her.

Captain Qin Hao wouldn't be coy; he started drinking immediately.

Afterward, Lin Mengyao and the others finally drank their fill one after another.

Captain Qin Hao actually had two spaces. One was the Captain's system space, which had limitations and seemed to be only 5×5×5; it should grow larger as the Spaceship upgraded.

The other was the system space, which was incomparably vast, with almost no end.

He didn't hesitate to store this water into the system space.

Subsequently, he collected the water from the other large trees into the system space as well.

He left only one super short tree uncollected; he would leave that bit of water for other small animals to drink...

There were over 30 trees storing water here; the smallest tree had hundreds of liters of water.

And the largest tree could probably store over a hundred thousand liters.

His system space had likely collected over two million liters of water.

Even if a normal person drank one liter a day, and there were only 30 people on their Spaceship, they could drink for two lifetimes.

Captain Qin Hao smiled, "Now we don't have to worry about having no water to drink. Meng Yao, you really are our lucky star."

If it weren't for so many people here, he would really want to kiss Lin Mengyao.

This shy and bashful school beauty would probably be too shy to resist.

The more Captain Qin Hao thought about it, the more pleased he felt.

As the most powerful captain, he even thought that in the future, whoever on the ship wanted to drink water would have to kiss him first before they could drink.

"Captain Qin Hao, what are you grinning foolishly about?"

Ling Xiaoke asked, puzzled.

She saw Captain Qin Hao's mouth curled up, almost reaching the sky.

Captain Qin Hao laughed and said, "Nothing, nothing."

Just then, Rao Shuqing frowned and said, "Careful, there seems to be danger behind us!"

Zhao Zihan and the others were immediately terrified; since Rao Shuqing had the Prophet talent, she shouldn't be wrong.

Captain Qin Hao also became serious because his Danger Perception sensed that a zombie was approaching.

Just then, a zombie rushed out from the bushes; it had an extremely ugly appearance, with festering skin, twisted facial features, and it emitted a foul, fishy stench.

It tilted its head back and rushed toward the group, howling.

"Oh my god, it's actually a zombie, how terrifying!"

"I heard that if you get scratched by a zombie, you'll be infected with the zombie virus!"

Lin Mengyao, Ling Xiaoke, and the others said in horror.

Captain Qin Hao stepped forward, shielding the women, and said quickly, "Don't be afraid, I'm here. You all hide behind me!"

Seeing Captain Qin Hao's appearance, Lin Mengyao and the others were immediately starstruck; Captain was so handsome.

Then they moved immediately and ran behind Captain Qin Hao.

Ling Xiaoke was naturally weaker, and since she didn't exercise much, she twisted her ankle while running in her excitement.

"Ah! It hurts so much."

"Be careful, this grassland is uneven and has small pits."

Rao Shuqing hurriedly helped her and said.

After all, they were all fragile college students.

And this wasn't the asphalt road of a city; it was quite bumpy.

Captain Qin Hao looked at the charging zombie and activated his True Sight Eye.

[A low-level zombie. Its physical functions are extremely weak, but it possesses the attack power of an adult. Getting scratched will infect you with the zombie virus. Its weak point is its head; one axe blow can instantly kill it.]

Captain Qin Hao understood; the zombies during the beginner protection period were indeed very weak.

According to his own ability, his True Sight Eye judged that he could kill it in one blow.

"Sizzle, hhh!"

A low, raspy sound came out. The zombie tilted its head and stumbled forward, intent on tearing Captain Qin Hao apart.

Captain Qin Hao reacted quickly, took a step back to create distance, and swung the axe at the zombie's head.

"Bang!"

With Captain Qin Hao's strength and speed enhanced, this axe blow caused the zombie's head to burst open!

"Ugh..."

After its head was smashed, the zombie could only fall down with regret.

Captain Qin Hao was afraid it wasn't dead yet, so he quickly finished it off, chopping a few more times at the zombie's head and body.

"This should be enough to kill it, right?"

[Congratulations to Captain Captain Qin Hao, ID A1001, for killing a zombie. Zombie dropped rewards: energy core × 1, fabric × 20, toasted bread × 10, Bronze Chest × 1.]
