Chapter 15

In the spring, Han Yanyan followed Ding Yao on several missions.

Once, she got separated from Ding Yao, she fought with two mutant zombies and saved an injured teammate. And so in her teammates’ eyes, she upgraded from “Ding Yao’s woman” to a comrade.

Everyone was surprised at the fast progress rate of her combat ability and sighed. “She really is worthy of being boss Ding’s woman”.

Although her ice ability was not as good as Zhang Youquan, she has the ability to compete with ordinary mutants.

Han Yanyan gradually indulged in the feelings of superiority.

When she was still in the real world, she was just an ordinary person. The world did not give her a chance to fight and kill. Everyone lived under a circle of framework, every turnip to its hole, each had their own task and no one could go past the moral bound.

Then this world had lost its frame, there were no more restrictions for pleasure. Of course, under the condition that you must be strong enough to chase the zombies instead of zombies chasing you.

Killing joyously, unrestrained sex, living the life prepared for the female protagonist in the novel. Han Yanyan was a little bit in love with this world, and almost forgot what she was here for.

In a blink of an eye, a large number of refugees came from the south. Nanling people knew that in spring, tsunamis would occur in the coastal area. The sea water would pour into the city and the coastline would approach inland. As the living fled inland, so did the zombies. There were refugees who had been in a certain settlement before and those settlements were destroyed in the zombie tide.

Rumors of “mutant zombies getting stronger” spread amongst the survivors.

At the same time, with the surge in the number of survivors, supplies were rapidly strained. The competition for resources and materials between big and small forces of all sides had become fierce. There had been serious bloodshed on several sides. The atmosphere of the whole Nanling city was grim.

Among them, the conflict between Thunder and the military was the most intense. When the army becomes a bandit, you can’t measure their bottom line. Ding Yao encountered sniping in the Nanling city.

None of the people who were with him at the time knew how he escaped the bullet. In short, Ding Yao was safe and sound, but the atmosphere in Nanling city was at its worst.

Ding Yao didn’t go on a mission for a period of time. He wanted to stay in Nanling city and bring out those who wanted to kill him. Han Yanyan needed more training and polishing, so she followed Lin Ling’s second team to search for supplies.

Lin Ling was a simple and honest woman, and Sun Lijun was her husband. In the past, the couple ran a small shop together, which was said to be outside the Ding Yao’s community. While they were doing small business, they helped their daughter-in-law and their granddaughter who worked in the city. At the start of the apocalypse, her daughter and her son-in-law died, and so did her granddaughter. The two, husband and wife, unexpectedly become strong, one can fight and the other can cure.

Soon after the start of the apocalypse, they met Ding Yao. At that time, their abilities had just activated, they were still confused and unable to use them. When they met the zombies, they panicked. It was Ding Yao who saved them.

“You have a much better sense of fighting than me.” Lin Ling sighed, “I panicked during that time. I was confused when I saw the zombie. You are lucky. If you go up there, don’t say a word. It’s generous of the boss; you are worthy to accept his teaching.”

Lin Ling was really an honest woman. She herself was a powerful mutant, but she doesn’t look down on Qi Tongtong like other female mutants.

“All of those women are like flowers. They were no less than my daughter. If it were not for this world, who would have put down their face to do this? It’s not easy.” She said.

Han Yanyan heard from Qi Tongtong that there were many men in the team. It was inevitable that some people had some special hobbies or were too violent. Lin Ling became like a mother for the girls on the third floor as she saved them several times.

She was a simple, honest and rustic woman. Even though she was an earth mutant, she’s really powerful. She slapped her hands on the wall of the corridor. The hard cement listened to her orders like plastic and trapped the male mutants who were challenging her like a coffin. If Lin Ling was more ruthless, she could’ve buried people alive.

She just doesn’t do it, but she has the ability to do so.

Later, none of them dared to go too far with the girls on the third floor. When the girls on the third floor met Sun Lijun, they called him “Brother Sun”. They would make a joke or two with him, but in fact, all the girls consciously kept away from him. No one was going to touch Lin Ling’s husband.

Han Yanyan likes Lin Ling very much. Not quite like Qi Tongtong, although she also likes Qi Tongtong, she just liked her for no reason. It’s like an indescribable fate.

Facing Lin Ling’s compliment, she just smiled and stayed silent.

Combat skills can be taught, and combat awareness was innate. Lin Ling speculated the reversed cause and effect. Ding Yao liked to teach her because she had a good sense of fighting. But for him, becoming an obedient canary was far less attractive than to be a strong one.

Han Yanyan gritted her teeth and strongly clenched her hands until her veins were visible.

This time, they went deeper into the field to search for supplies. They met a lot of scavengers, and more zombies.

Mutant zombies were really getting stronger, like they were evolving. Lin Ling and her team members were shocked to a certain extent. Han Yanyan was not quite surprised.

The evolution of zombies in the apocalypse was like the universal setting of the zombie apocalypse genre.

Han Yanyan was completely immersed in her survival mode. In the battle, her ice cone finally evolved into an ice arrow, penetrating the heads of four zombies at a time.

When the four zombies fell down at the same time, Han Yanyan took a long breath and felt comfortable. When she was ready to kill another group of zombies with a mountain knife, those zombies suddenly stopped.

Everything around her has frozen, and the sound of fighting in other areas that could have been heard has disappeared. There were no sounds of insects or a wind.

It’s like the world has frozen.

Han Yanyan’s pupils had shrunk, holding a knife and standing in place, her whole body became tense and alert.

“Han Yanyan!” There’s a voice. This voice was very familiar to Han Yanyan for she didn’t want to hear it -this robotic sound.

Han Yanyan’s feelings of wholeheartedly immersing herself in this world were suddenly cut-off because of the ear-piercing sound. She seemed to have been cut-off from this world, soberly aware that she was not part of this world.

“Han Yanyan, I’m here to remind you.” The tone of the robotic voice was a little cold. “You should not be too involved and forget what you are here for.”

Han Yanyan tried to calm down: “How is this possible?”

“Well, I’ve seen so many newbies like you. When they first entered this world, they couldn’t tell the difference between reality… Sigh. I’ve seen those idiots who want to live a lifetime in this world.” The robotic voice threatened. “These people have been punished as they deserve. Han Yanyan, don’t become such a fool.”

Han Yanyan’s face was calm, but in fact, her back was drenched with cold sweat.

If the robotic sound did not appear suddenly today, she might have lived in this world passionately, completely forgetting that her life was hanging on its hands, just like those “fools” mentioned by the robotic sound.

“I will not.” She looked down. “Don’t worry.”

“Alright, I believe you.” The robotic sound said with satisfaction. “You are still in good progress, but it is not enough, you need to increase your efforts.”

“I will try my best. Please rest assured. But… ” Han Yanyan said, “Can you make my ability stronger? Which could save a lot of time?”

The robotic voice said a little strained, “This is not necessary. What should you do or how you do it? Just do it step by step.” Then he said, “Are there any more questions? If not, I will close the communication.”

Han Yanyan asked, “Are you not in this world?”

“I was monitoring the whole time.” Robotic sound said.

Was it not here? Han Yanyan thought. She really had a question to ask, “I want to know. What if I die in this world?”

This world was filled with parting of life and death. Han Yanyan had thought of this problem for a long time.

The robotic voice was furious: “You be careful! If you dare to die, I will really let you die!”

“No, it’s just a hypothesis. I just want to know, what if I die here.” Han Yanyan said, “As you can see, this is such an environment.”

The robotic voice hummed and said, “No, you died last time.”

Han Yanyan said suddenly: “I would be able to return there, right?”

“Yes, yes, yes! Is there anything else to ask? If not, I’ll cut off the communication!” The robotic voice was a little anxious.

Han Yanyan certainly has too many questions to ask, but she knows that the robotic voice would not give her answers at all. She wouldn’t waste her effort, she directly said: “No more.”

“You do your job well! Try to finish the task as soon as possible!” The robotic voice threatened her. “Don’t try to slack off, I’m monitoring you!”

“Is my private life monitored?” Han Yanyan asked abruptly.

At present, everything was still and the world was frozen, which shows that the robotic sound was detached from this world. It should be looking towards the world and Han Yanyan in a God’s view. The robotic voice petrified her even more that it was monitoring her, but Han Yanyan didn’t ask any more questions.

The robotic voice choked and said angrily, “what’s so good to look at it? I don’t have that kind of hobby.”

It angrily replied. Then cut off the communication.

The world suddenly returned to normal. Everything that was still suddenly began to move.

Five zombies rushed towards her. Three ice arrows congealed in front of Han Yanyan’s body, shot out quickly and pierced the heads of three zombies. The two zombies who missed the arrows rushed towards her again. Han Yanyan kicked the one in front of her with one foot in its chest. The mountain knife cut off the other’s head and cut off its neck with another knife. Han Yanyan didn’t stop. She sped up and chopped off the head of the one she had kicked before, so that it could only die again.

She wiped her knife on the zombie, thinking about her conversation with the robotic voice.

She wants to directly evolve her powers up, but the robotic voice said. “There’s no need.” Is it really unnecessary or it can’t?

One more thing, Han Yanyan came to this world last summer, and now it’s summer again, almost a year has passed. For such a long time, the robotic voice had never contacted her. In the conversation just now, Han Yanyan was very sure that the robotic sound could not enter this world in person. But why did it not contact her for such a long time and suddenly contacted her today?

Was today any different from before?

Han Yanyan, immersed in her thoughts, did not notice that in the ceiling, there were two zombies crawling like geckos.

Until they come down.
