Apocalypse | Stockpiling | Supernatural Powers | Killing Zombies | Fighting Survivors
Congratulations to me for receiving the Apocalypse Lucky Person package, complete with an arbitrary door ...
I lay limply on the bed, feeling exhausted from the events of the past two days. Ji Lin'an came over and lay down beside me: "What's wrong?"
I rolled over and lay down next to Ji Lin'an: "I'm just feeling a bit tired. I originally imagined that in the apocalypse, all I had to do was stock up on supplies and stay at home. But since the apocalypse started, it seems like we haven't had a single day of rest. Every day is filled with fighting and killing, either running for our lives or planning murders. We went through life and death to be together. I really want to live the life of a normal couple with you, watch movies, go shopping, and travel. Although I know that's unlikely now, I at least want to stay with you quietly and live a comfortable life."
Ji Lin'an reached out and played with the strands of hair that had fallen across my forehead: "Do you want to go to the shelter in G City?"
I hesitated. I wanted to go, but I was worried that it might be an even bigger trap. I shook my head: "I don't know. Right now, a large number of lucky ones are heading to G City. Maybe after a while, most of the lucky ones will be in G City and our lives will be quieter, without so many pursuers. But right now, with Kaka with us, how long can our supplies last?"
Ji Lin'an thought for a while and said, "Then let's wait a little longer. We can hold out for three to five months. We'll decide whether to go or not after a large number of lucky people arrive at the shelter and see if they are safe and if it is suitable for them to live there."
I nodded: "Yes, it seems that's the only way for now. Maybe we can try to find some supplies. There are so many supermarkets in the city. We haven't seen many living people since the zombie outbreak. Only the lucky ones can't eat that much."
Ji Lin'an nodded: "Okay, let's all get some rest today."
I nodded in agreement and nestled into Ji Lin'an's arms. I took out my phone and unconsciously opened Douyin (TikTok). Little K had updated again. This time, her performance was noticeably better; the background was picturesque, with many survivors in the background, some talking, some moving around. The video content was roughly the same as the promotional video for the G City shelter we'd seen. Suddenly, I remembered the first video we'd seen of Little K. I clicked on her profile; that video had been deleted. I carefully recalled the video content, then stood up in alarm and said to Ji Lin'an, "I remember the IP address of the video Little K posted was clearly in T City, and the background wasn't the G City shelter. But when she first called me, she said she was in G City!"
Ji Lin'an frowned and sat up as well: "Could it be that she went to G City after posting the video?"
I continued to think back, then shook my head: "No, I saw the content three minutes ago when it was posted, and the time between her voice call and the post was no more than ten minutes. Unless she has the ability to teleport like me, but even if she does, why didn't she post the video in the G City shelter, but instead went to T City? At that time, Little K looked very tired, hadn't washed her hair or put on makeup, and her clothes looked a bit worn. In the video she just posted, she had put on makeup, changed her clothes, and looked refreshed. If her first video was recorded in the G City shelter, why did she choose to record it looking disheveled?"
Ji Lin'an took my phone and carefully examined the content posted by Xiao K: "It does look like a resort in the background. According to what you said, maybe she wasn't in G City when she first posted the video."
I nodded: "Yes, I'm starting to suspect that this G City shelter might really be a huge trap. With technology so advanced now, it wouldn't be a problem if the people at the G City shelter saw what Xiao K posted, stole her account, and used AI face-swapping technology to post videos to lure survivors to the G City shelter."
Ji Lin'an was silent for a while: "That's possible. Maybe we can contact Wufeng again to stop us from going to the G City shelter. He might know something."
I nodded readily and immediately picked up the phone to find Wufeng's call history and called back. The call went through but no one answered. I dialed three times in a row, but no one answered each time. I couldn't help but wonder: "Could Wufeng have been murdered?"
Ji Lin'an frowned deeply: "If he really has been murdered, then we definitely can't go to G City. All these strange things are happening one after another, like a huge whirlpool waiting for us to be drawn in."
I nodded worriedly, but still picked up my phone and left a message for Wufeng: "Do you know something? We also think there's something wrong with the asylum in G City. If you see this, could you contact me? I just want to know if you're safe."
There was a sudden knock on the door: "Old Ji, Su Su, are you still awake?"
I stood up and replied, "You're awake. Come in."
Hearing the noise, Qianliyan opened the door and cautiously peeked out: "Could you come out for a moment? Kaka has something to say."
Ji Lin'an and I exchanged a glance, got up, and sat down in the living room. Kaka sat upright with her head down, clutching her skirt. She looked up briefly when we came out, then looked down again. I looked at Qianliyan with my eyes, asking what was wrong. Qianliyan gave us a complicated look and sat down next to Kaka. "Well, it's like this," he said, "Kaka discovered that her partner, Sister Ning, left her a message before she died. She told Kaka that she was killed by a lucky person with the ability to create clones and another lucky person with the ability to control water, a man and a woman. Before she died, she heard the female lucky person say that she was going to S City to seek revenge on someone. Kaka wanted to..."
I narrowed my eyes: "Does she want us to help her avenge Sister Ning?"
Kaka looked up at us with teary eyes and nodded. Seeing that Ji Lin'an and I didn't react, Kaka said, "It's not that we necessarily want revenge, but if we run into these two people in S City, could Sister Su help me avenge Sister Ning?"
I hesitated for a moment and looked at Ji Lin'an. Ji Lin'an asked, "Sure, we will if we encounter it."
