Soon, Lin Feng and Saeko reached the opposite shore of the river.
"Why are there no zombies here?" Saeko asked as she emerged from the Zirhart, looking at the empty streets and roads.
"How could there be none? They're all inside. There's nothing outside. Also, is my little Saeko getting so bloodthirsty so quickly?" Lin Feng teased as he glanced at her in his arms.
"I'm not! And who's your little Saeko?" Saeko turned her head away, finishing with a slightly flustered tone.
If Lin Feng saw her face now, he'd probably think it looked like a "monkey's backside." Though she denied it, inside, Saeko was smiling sweetly.
Sigh "Seems like I need to get myself a wife," Lin Feng said with a sigh.
"You dare... If you're going to find someone, go ahead. But if you dare abandon me, I... I'll..." Saeko stopped herself, then, thinking about Lin Feng's power, she finished quietly, using her hand to make a slashing motion across her neck in a mock threat.
"Don't be so dramatic. I'm just joking," Lin Feng laughed.
"I know. Someone like you definitely wouldn't have just me around. I just hope you won't abandon me," Saeko said as she leaned against Lin Feng's chest.
"Saeko, you're truly wonderful," Lin Feng said as he kissed her.
After a long time, they separated. Lin Feng gently set her down, then grabbed a motorcycle nearby. He revved the engine, and together they headed into the city.
After a while, they arrived in front of a supermarket.
"What are we doing here?" Saeko asked, puzzled, as Lin Feng stopped in front of the supermarket.
"Well, with your iron stomach, of course we're here to grab some food. You dummy," Lin Feng teased, lightly flicking her nose.
"You... pervert! If you keep bullying me, I... I'll..." Saeko started to say, but then faltered.
"Alright, I won't bully you anymore. Let's go," Lin Feng said, gently rubbing her head.
Saeko slapped his hand away. "I told you, no bullying, but you still do it," she said, walking into the supermarket.
After raiding the shelves for bread and water, Lin Feng started feeling the strain of carrying so much food.
"System, do I have anywhere to store things?" Lin Feng asked immediately in his mind.
"Host, the system has a special storage space, specifically a three-dimensional space. Except for living beings, anything else can be stored. Since there's no air circulation, items stored here will stay fresh," the system responded.
"Alright, open it up then. Let me store all this food," Lin Feng requested.
"System is processing.

Lin Feng's eyes widened at the 100 square meters of space available, and with a wave of his hand, he stored the mountains of food into the three-dimensional space.
"Host, the three-dimensional space can be upgraded with your level. Please note, the system will now rest," the system said before cutting off communication.
"Wait, what? The system needs rest too? It's almost like... like it's human," Lin Feng muttered, confused, but he couldn't shake the feeling that the system's voice had a touch of warmth this time.
Meanwhile, Saeko, who had watched Lin Feng store the mountains of food, asked what was going on. When she learned it was a three-dimensional space, she immediately demanded one for herself.
After inquiring with the system, Lin Feng exchanged 100 points for a 30-square-meter spatial ring — a black ring.
After raiding the supermarket completely, Lin Feng and Saeko set off again. After driving for about 500 meters, they finally spotted a horde of zombies.
"Saeko, it's starting," Lin Feng said, drawing the Mo Mei Sword (which he had just exchanged) and the Tianwen Sword, turning to Saeko. He handed her the Tianwen Sword. (As long as they're a couple, items Lin Feng exchanges through the system can be used by the other person, as long as their affection level is above 90.)
"Mm," Saeko nodded, taking the sword and following his lead.
Lin Feng and Saeko began their massacre, charging into the zombie horde like wolves among sheep. The only difference was that the zombies didn't run; they just kept charging forward to their deaths.
When the numbers were too overwhelming, Lin Feng and Saeko would retreat, rest, and then return to fight once they were ready. This cycle of fighting and retreating continued as Lin Feng and Saeko kept slaughtering zombies.
By the afternoon of the next day, around 3:50 PM, Lin Feng watched as Saeko wielded the Tianwen Sword, slaying the zombies ahead. Although it was a "zombie horde," there were only about seven or eight of them.
Once Saeko finished off the last zombie, a prompt suddenly echoed in Lin Feng's mind.
Ding - "Congratulations, host! You've completed System Task 2 - Kill 1,000 Zombies.
Reward: 1,000 points, 1,000 taels of gold. Because the host practices 'Supreme Divine Method,' the 1,000 zombies will automatically be converted into spiritual energy."
Ding - "System processing.

Lin Feng was stunned when he heard the prompt. "Wait, I haven't even killed 1,000 zombies. I've only killed 389 zombies from yesterday till now."
"System, explain this," Lin Feng called out.
"You've killed over 370 today, and Busujima Saeko has killed over 230. Add that to the 389 you killed before, and you've completed the task," the system replied, appearing in front of Lin Feng.
"Wait, does Saeko count?" Lin Feng asked, surprised.
"Yes. As long as their affection is above 90, whatever they do counts as part of the task. Besides, she's yours now, right? Everything she does is your responsibility. Didn't I mention that before?"
"Heh, if you had said that earlier, I wouldn't have had to ask. Also, what's this affection thing and what's the deal with spiritual energy?" Lin Feng's voice was noticeably irritated.
