"It seems your friends left behind more than just photos."
Flipping through his phone, Kevin also found a memo.
Judging from the timing, it must have been a message deliberately left for Minami Rika.
"That guy certainly doesn't come up with these things himself."
Minami Rika knew her best friend very well, and this kind of thing was definitely beyond the capabilities of the big-breasted and airheaded Shizuka.
"It must be a suggestion from someone else in this photo."
"Hmm... probably."
Kevin stared at the phone screen without comment.
Busujima Saeko, Marikawa Shizuka, Takagi Saya, Miyamoto Rei... four people in total.
Indeed, Takashi Komuro and Toda Hirano, who were supposed to be in the main cast, weren't there.
Judging from the messages, the four-member team had set out this morning and left the villa with the help of the modified Hummer in Minami Rika's garage.
As for the destination... it was the same as the original, Saya Takagi's manor.
However, there was something Kevin was very concerned about. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly said,
"Minami Rika, go check if the ammunition in your house is still there."
"Huh? How do you know... Okay, I'll go."
Minami Rika was stunned for a moment. Although she was a little confused, she still went to a bedroom as instructed.
After easily taking out the key to the weapons cabinet, she opened a sturdy metal cabinet.
In fact, after seeing that the weapons cabinet showed no signs of damage by external forces.
Kevin already had a conclusion in his mind.
"My babies are all still lying there safely."
Minami Rika reached into the weapons cabinet and pulled out a few guns.
There were automatic rifles, shotguns, and pistols.
In addition, there was a lot of ammunition, grenades, and other throwable items in the cabinet.
"Give me some grenades."
Kevin took a quick look and only considered the explosives that could be used in emergencies.
After unlocking the "Demolition Expert" function, he could purchase various explosives in the corresponding store.
From grenades to bombs, detonators, rockets, and more, everything was available.
"Boss, don't you want a gun?"
Minami Rika recommended, throwing a few grenades with safety pins to Kevin.
"This Glock 18 is great, a timeless classic in 9mm caliber."
"No thanks."
Kevin shrugged and rejected the other party's kindness.
"I can't use a gun that needs a magazine change."
Moreover, the noise of shooting was very loud, which could easily attract all the zombies nearby.
In terms of long-range lethality, the super thermal ion cannon in his hand was superior.
After defeating King Slime, the Super Thermal Ion Cannon had also been upgraded.
The number of bullets per shot had increased by one.
It consumed the same amount of magic power as before and could fire two high-energy laser beams or phase laser balls.
At the same time, the base damage had also been slightly increased.
Although the increase wasn't much, it could still "evolve" again.
The next upgrade would be after defeating the "World Devourer."
"The place Shizuka wants to go is actually the territory of the 'Takagi' family."
After reading the message on her phone, Minami Rika breathed a sigh of relief.
"However, since this is the headquarters of the Patriotic Society, it should be as impregnable as a fortress."
"Once she gets there, she should be very safe..."
"That's assuming her team arrives safely."
Kevin interjected.
Although it was unknown why, both boys in the protagonist's team had disappeared.
But the lack of Hirano Toda's influence could be easily seen.
Without the military otaku's keen sense of smell, Shizuka Marikawa and the female high school students wouldn't have discovered the guns and ammunition hidden in Minami Rika's villa.
Apart from a fairly sturdy modified Hummer, they had no weapons.
If they encountered trouble along the way that needed to be solved by force... this team could easily get stuck.
Even though there was Busujima Saeko, who had excellent close combat capabilities, she was still a human being after all, not even an adventurer.
There was also a risk of infection if bitten by a zombie.
So Kevin planned to search for the traces of Shizuka Marikawa and others along their route.
"Do you have a map? Give me a copy and mark the location of the destination."
"Yes, there is..."
Minami Rika quickly guessed Kevin's plan and volunteered.
"I'll go with you."
"No, you stay here and wait for my news."
Kevin took the map, glanced at it, and pulled Lily in front of him.
"It's relatively safe here. You and Lily shouldn't move around here. I can be more flexible on my own."
Minami Rika hadn't figured out what "more flexible" meant yet.
Then Kevin pushed open the window, and a blue "thread" suddenly shot out from his wrist.
The silk thread seemed to have amazing elasticity. It quickly contracted when it touched the wall, dragging Kevin's body out.
Then he retracted the silk thread and fired again. After a few maneuvers, he disappeared from Minami Rika's sight like a falling leaf.
This speed was not even inferior to the efficiency when driving before.
"This guy... is really a weirdo."
Minami Rika muttered something, then glanced at Lily next to her and added an explanation.
"What you just said isn't a bad thing about the boss, kid."
Lily looked at the towering breasts of the beautiful policewoman with some reluctance and snorted coldly.
"Who is the little kid? Lily is not little!"
The thing that allowed Kevin to roam freely in the steel jungle like Tarzan was naturally the "Slime Hook" he had recently acquired.
Just keep using the hook to cling to the wall and pull yourself along.
You could move quickly around the city like Spider-Man.
On the contrary, in Terraria, the underground space was relatively narrow, and there weren't many buildings on the ground.
The hook could only be used for climbing and emergency avoidance.
"Huh... This feels really good."
Feeling the air blowing towards him, Kevin narrowed his eyes slightly and felt relaxed.
He wasn't worried about falling from a high altitude after the hook missed.
In fact, there were many ways to prevent falls in Terraria.
The simplest and most direct way was to equip the "Lucky Horseshoe" accessory to be immune to fall damage.
There were extra jumps, and you could also avoid damage by double jumping before landing.
Or you could use accessories such as wings and rocket boots to achieve the effects of "flying" and "slow descent."
If Kevin remembered correctly, a potion that granted immunity to fall damage had also been added to the Calamity module.
He now relied on two things. One was the extra jumps provided by the "Cloud Bottle" accessory.
Another kind of...
The sudden noise coming from not far away made Kevin, who was in mid-air, quickly concentrate.
After flying to the source of the sound, Kevin wasn't in a hurry to land.
Instead, he used the stickiness of the slime hook to fix himself to the outside wall of an office building.
Observing the situation below from a high vantage point.
Just as he expected, the journey of Shizuka Marikawa and others wasn't very smooth.
It's just that the trouble they were facing didn't come from zombies, but from the survivors.
