The water supply at the Prison had not been cut off.
Shawn was in the bathroom in front of Block C, rinsing his entire body with cold water.
Blood flowed down his rock-hard, chiseled abs, turning the floor beneath him into a pooling blood bath.
Light footsteps sounded from outside the bathroom. Shawn turned his head to look, his short hair covering the side of his face.
Until a petite figure walked into the bathroom.
Seeing that Shawn had no reaction, she carefully approached and actually embraced him from behind.
A scorching embrace came from behind, creating a strong contrast with the icy cold tap water.
The subtle friction against his back caused even Shawn's mind to waver.
Her breathing behind him became slightly rapid, and their breathing frequencies were almost synchronized.
Gently stroking her fair, small hands wrapped around his waist, Shawn pulled her in front of him, leaning her against the wall.
He ran a single hand through her golden hair, then over her smooth cheek, finally reaching her chin.
Their eyes met, hot breaths exhaling, as if to boil the cold spring water.
She gently stood on her tiptoes, and Shawn slightly lowered his head.
'Hmm, she smells a bit like sunshine…'
This was Shawn's last thought.
...
Beth was wrapped in a towel.
Her small face flushed a 'poof-poof' rosy red, and she pushed open the back door of Block C, quickly running towards the Administrative Building.
Many people looked over.
But seeing Shawn emerge from the back door the next second, they exchanged knowing glances, then pretended not to care and lowered their heads to busy themselves with their own affairs.
When Shawn entered the Administrative Building, he saw Hershel again.
Hershel also said nothing, only nodding to Shawn, a smile he couldn't hide playing on his lips.
"Old man."
Shawn cursed with a laugh.
However, it wouldn't be long before this 'old man' would become his 'father-in-law'.
After wandering around inside the Prison, seeing everyone working in an orderly fashion, Shawn felt relieved and returned to the third floor.
Quietly locking his room door, Shawn rubbed his hands, chuckling.
"It's wonderful alone time again. I hope Beth doesn't find out…"
Mid-sentence, Shawn suddenly let out an 'eh' and realized.
"That's not right, why am I being so careful just to open a reward?"
Shawn returned to the door, and after careful consideration, still decided to unlock it.
Sitting down in the Warden's leather office chair, Shawn silently recited'System' in his mind.
Following the order, first was the first item—Legendary Green Dragon Crescent Blade (Iron Blade).
Legendary Green Dragon Crescent Blade
Quality: Iron Blade -- Quality Six
Module Slots: 4
Entity Damage: 20
Powerful Entity Attack: 50.2
Durability: 1200
Repair Method: Applicable for 'Repair Tools' repair
Purpose One: Serve as a weapon. Broad and powerful, moderate stamina consumption, comes with bleeding. If you are on a high-difficulty pioneering run, congratulations, this is the best sharp weapon.
Purpose Two: Butcher corpses, can obtain resources from dead bodies.
After reading the Crescent Blade's current attributes, Shawn couldn't help but exclaim 'whoa'.
The Quality 6 Green Dragon Crescent Blade's entity damage and powerful attack, while still not comparable to a Quality One iron sledgehammer of the same tier.
But this improvement is already significant for a blade.
Take Michonne's katana, for example. If you dare to bring it out to clash, if it doesn't break after one chop, then it can grit its teeth and hold on.
The 1200 durability provides the ability for prolonged combat, which is already sufficient for Shawn, who is currently Lv48.
"If this can be upgraded to the highest 'Chop Down' stage in the future, then my Crescent Blade will be out of this world."
Shawn placed the Crescent Blade flat on the solid wood desk, his fingers gently tracing the blade. He grew fonder of this exquisitely shaped, fiercely powerful, and grand weapon.
Iron Sledgehammer: So? The light in your eyes will disappear, right?
Actually, it didn't disappear; it just transferred from the sledgehammer to the great blade.
While the great blade is somewhat lacking in attack power, in terms of flexibility during use, the sledgehammer cannot even come close to the Crescent Blade.
One must remember that just a few hours ago, Shawn had two bottles of wine and wielded a great blade so skillfully that even the Berserkers couldn't get close to him.
If it had been the sledgehammer, Shawn would probably have been covered in wounds after a few rounds.
There was no other way; there were too many of them, and each swing of the sledgehammer was especially cumbersome, so it could only be a trade of injuries.
After reviewing the data for the Legendary Quality Green Dragon Crescent Blade, Shawn's gaze shifted downwards.
Seeds * 100 — Expansion.
Potato Seeds * 50
Pumpkin Seeds * 30
Coffee Seeds * 10
Cotton Seeds * 10
Note: The Southern Planting magazine skill can unlock seed synthesis recipes.
Note: The higher the Southern Planting magazine skill level, the higher the probability of seed recovery and replanting.
Note: Current uniform seed replanting probability — 50%
Seeds?
This was the first time Shawn had received system items of the seed type in all his time here.
However, after carefully examining the'Seed' notes, Shawn suddenly realized that this system reward seemed far less simple than it appeared on the surface.
What is replanting?
It means that after harvesting, there is a chance to obtain seeds again for a second planting.
In other words, the consumption of planting will become less.
Don't look at the current seed replanting probability of only 50%, a fifty-fifty chance.
But if he can acquire enough Southern Planting magazines in the future to raise the magazine level to a high grade, he will no longer have to worry about food or even winter clothing.
Furthermore, what Shawn valued most was the maturation time of these seeds.
Normally, the growth and harvest of seeds is a lengthy process, often taking an entire season or even half a year.
However, as long as system-rewarded seeds are used, the entire process will be greatly shortened.
Clicking on the corresponding seed image immediately brought up the specific information about the seeds below.
Large Pumpkin
Food + 30
Health + 3
Maturation Time: 2 ~ 4 days
Note: Maturation time will fluctuate based on the current season's temperature.
It could be harvested in as little as 2 full days!
This means that even if the population of the Prison grows in the future, Shawn will be able to support them.
As long as he can cultivate one or two individuals with high-level Southern Planting skills, there will be almost no need to worry about food.
Of course, these foods are only for satiating hunger.
If he wants to diversify the food types and satisfy his cravings, he will have to find other solutions; these seeds can only prevent people from starving to death.
"I'll put them away for now and use them when I get Southern Planting.
"Currently, the number of seeds is limited, and the replanting rate is only 50%. It's better to be cautious. The Prison's food supply can last at least three more months."
For limited resources, Shawn hoped to maximize their use to avoid seed loss.
Given the current situation at the Prison, even with the dozen or so people from the Mine, there's no need to worry about food in the short term.
More people also meant more labor.
After observing for a while longer, he would release them to participate in labor.
Kenny and his remaining group could be fully integrated into the 'Combat Unit' to participate in external scavenging for supplies, as that's what they had always done.
With Shane, Glenn, and T-Dog watching him, Shawn wasn't afraid of Kenny causing any trouble.
Thinking of this, Shawn looked at the third reward.
