The Blood Moon was one of Terraria's special events.
When it occurred, the night sky would be bathed in crimson light, drawing monsters in swarms.
Besides the monsters that already appeared at night, a large number of Blood Moon-exclusive enemies would also spawn.
For example: Bride Zombies, Groom Zombies, Blood Zombies, Dripplers, and more.
During a Blood Moon, even animals and fish that were normally docile would beco aggressive.
Even if one hid indoors, the frenzied monsters could still break down the doors and force their way in.
To survive a Blood Moon safely, there were really only a few options: either your own strength was overwhelming enough to kill everything that ca for you, or you had carefully built defensive fortifications and used the terrain to trap and clear the monsters.
Or…you hid underground, far beyond the reach of the crimson moonlight, and waited for dawn.
"If this were the Terraria world, I could still handle it."
"But in Tokonosu City…"
Drake frowned, already imagining himself being drowned under a sea of red-eyed zombies.
Even wearing full Jungle Armor and carrying the Superheated Ion Blaster, he still couldn't handle enemies on that scale head-on.
But that didn't an the Blood Moon was entirely bad news.
Most importantly, while it brought new enemies, it also brought new loot.
For example, one of the few early-ga defense-penetrating accessories: the Shark Tooth Necklace.
And an excellent early summoner weapon: the Vampire Frog Staff.
More importantly, under the Calamity mod, enemies killed during a Blood Moon could also drop Blood Orbs!
This was an incredibly versatile material.
Simply put… it could replace any herb in potion crafting!
As long as Drake had enough Blood Orbs, he would effectively have an endless supply of buff potions!
Even in the late ga, buff potions made with Blood Orbs remained extrely useful—they were practically essential for exploration, adventure, and challenging powerful enemies.
"Looks like I really do have to make a trip to Tokonosu City."
"If necessary, I'll need to establish a base in that world too, so I can deal with the Blood Moon."
Drake checked the ti ratio between the Highschool of the Dead world and the main world.
It was also 2:1.
That ant every little more than three days in the main world, Tokonosu City would experience another Blood Moon.
If he managed it properly, this could beco an ideal place for him to farm Blood Orbs.
"Lili, I'm heading to a new world next."
Before setting out, Drake turned to the prum girl, who was currently cleaning the shop.
"There may be so danger in there."
"Do you want to co with , or stay behind in Orario?"
"I…"
Hearing the question, Lili only hesitated briefly before answering decisively.
"I want to go explore the new world with Master… is that okay?"
"Mm… if that's what you want, then co."
Drake didn't refuse. After all, having Lili beside him also made resupplying easier.
He could only access the shop function when he was within a certain range of her.
"But this world may be very different from Orario."
"When we get there, rember to listen to and don't run off."
Lili nodded firmly, her eyes bright with anticipation.
"Lili will behave. I absolutely won't cause trouble for Master!"
"Good."
After setting Lili's permissions appropriately, Drake took her small hand and said softly,
"Close your eyes. We'll be there in a mont."

Tokonosu City – International Airport
As an island city, Tokonosu's only connections to the outside world were by plane or ship.
The international airport was the city's only large-scale airport, handling nearly ninety percent of its flights.
So when the entire city descended into chaos after the outbreak of the zombie crisis, this place also beca the only escape route for the rich, the powerful, and the socially prominent.
But for planes to take off, the runways needed to remain clear and unobstructed.
With zombies constantly assaulting the airport, soone had to stay behind to keep them back and buy ti.
Rika Minami was one of the people assigned to that rear-guard team.
And yet, twenty-four hours ago, she had already lost contact with her superiors.
"…Tch."
The ace sharpshooter with sun-bronzed skin clicked her tongue in frustration.
The static from the walkie-talkie seed to mock her situation.
"Supplies exhausted, less than two magazines of ammo left, all teammates dead…"
"So this is what I get for being loyal to orders?"
Rika cursed viciously and smashed the walkie-talkie to the ground, crushing it to pieces beneath her blood-sared boot.
"Goddamn military!"
She knew it perfectly well.
Ever since the last passenger plane had taken off from the airport, her team had been abandoned by their command.
The only reason she had kept holding on until now was because so part of her had still clung to the illusion that maybe soone would co.
Unfortunately, her partner hadn't managed to hold on.
And to prevent him from becoming one of those monsters, Rika had personally executed him, letting him die as a human.
Now… there was probably only one living person left in the entire airport.
And the undead monsters outside numbered in the hundreds, maybe thousands, sealing off every escape route.
Beep… beep…
"The number you have dialed is currently switched off."
After failing to reach her friend by phone, Rika lit her last cigarette, exhaled, and looked up at the sky.
"I wonder how Shizuka's doing."
"With the way she is, even if she turned into a zombie, she'd probably still trip over flat ground…"
Just as Rika flicked away the cigarette butt and prepared to go out and die taking as many zombies with her as possible, the sound of battle suddenly rang out not far away!
"There's soone else here?"
Realizing that, Rika's face lit up with the joy of soone who had suddenly seen hope.
If people had a choice, nobody wanted to die—especially not at the hands of zombies.
"I'll go check."
But in the very next mont, two strange orbs of light flew in from nowhere amid a shrill zzzt sound.
Once they swelled outward, the superheated particle clouds they ford instantly burned a huge swath of zombies to ash.
At the sa ti, they destroyed the cover Rika had been hiding behind, revealing the shock on her face.
There, amid a field of corpses, a boy clad in bizarre-looking armor slowly turned his head and looked toward her with an appraising gaze.
For so reason… Rika felt as though he had known her for a long ti already.
There was no strangeness in that gaze at all. Instead, it was filled with the unmistakable feeling of.
"So it really is you."
"Hello, Miss Rika Minami."
With the Superheated Ion Blaster resting on his shoulder, Drake called out to her from a distance.
"Would you be willing to enter into a contract with ?"
