Ruan Tian doesn't know what information the next target will have.

She said goodbye to Ah Wen, thanked the kind uncle, and then went back into her room.

Ruan Tian first went to check on Gu Yi and Ye Mofeng to make sure they were alright and still unconscious before contacting the system.

"System! Come out now!"

[I'm here. What's wrong, host? Is there something you need?]

"I just want to ask you, what are the basic details of your next target?"

[I see. We won't tell you about the next player yet.]

"Huh? Why?"

System: [This is just the main quest. Host, please stabilize the favorability of the four current targets before discussing anything else.]

Ruan Tian thought that there was some truth to it. It would be better to stabilize the favorability of the four people she was currently pursuing. Otherwise, she would be trying to have her cake and eat it too, and she would end up with neither.

"System, what you said makes a lot of sense! So, what is my next task?"

[Next, head towards City E. You will find the person you need there.]

The system is speaking now, and it sounds rather mystical.

Who do you think I'll meet?

Ruan Tian was curious, but before she could ask any more questions, the system unilaterally severed its connection with her.

"Why did you hang up so suddenly? You weren't like this before!"

Ruan Tian wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she felt that the system had become strangely odd after it was "repaired".

possible……

It's not as humane as it used to be; the old system would at least banter with Ruan Tian.

But the current system is much colder and less gentle than before.

"Why is that?"

Ruan Tian went through her thoughts, wondering if she had offended the system in the past.

But upon closer reflection, she realized that she and the system had spent so much time together and had enjoyed each other's company very much.

They never really had a big fight; on the contrary, they were very close to each other.

Ruan Tian swears that she has never done anything to upset the system!

"I'll stop thinking about that now. The most important thing right now is to pack my things and get ready to go to City E!"

Ruan Tian immediately started packing her things. She glanced down at Gu Yi and Ye Mofeng, caught in a dilemma.

"What should we do with these two? It seems they'll have to stay with me for now, otherwise I won't feel at ease leaving them here."

So in the end, Ruan Tian decided to bring Ye Mofeng and Gu Yi along.

She didn't leave much stuff at the camp, so she quickly packed it up and called over a kind man to help her move Gu Yi and Ye Mofeng onto the electric tricycle.

The upgraded electric tricycle now has a larger internal capacity than before, and can easily fit three adult men.

The stability was much better than before, but Ruan Tian was still worried. After thinking for a while, she borrowed a rope from her older brother.

She tied Gu Yi and Ye Mofeng together with a rope, pressing their bodies close together.

To prevent them from falling off midway, their heads were also arranged in a buddy-buddy shape.

The kind-hearted man said, "...I don't know why, but I feel that the scene in front of me is quite beautiful."

Ruan Tian completely missed the reluctance in her older brother's words. Instead, she nodded in agreement and said with a smile:

"I think so too! These two look so beautiful, and they're both handsome to begin with. It's really pleasing to the eye to see their faces together!"

The older brother said, "...I hope that once they both come to their senses, they won't be angry about this."

Ruan Tian patted her chest confidently and said, "Don't worry! I think they definitely won't be angry!"

Seeing Ruan Tian's incredibly confident demeanor, the uncle didn't know what to say. He could only give an awkward smile and watch Ruan Tian leave.

"Be careful on the road! There's still a week until the next Red Moon tide, so make sure you find a place in advance!"

"I know!" Ruan Tian had already put on her helmet and gotten on the electric tricycle. "I'm off!"

Okay, I hope that next time we meet, you will be even better than you are now.

"You're the eldest brother too! There's plenty of time, we'll meet again in the future!"

Ruan Tian started the engine and said goodbye to the uncle for good.

...

Ruan Tian looked at the map in the upper right corner, a map leading to City E. Feeling a little bored traveling alone, she couldn't help but ask the system in her mind:

"Let's have a chat."

System: [Sorry, host, I'm just not naturally inclined to smile.]

"Who's joking with you about this! I mean, I want you to chat with me, otherwise I'm really bored by myself."

I don't speak Chinese.

Ruan Tian: "...Then what are you talking about now?"

【Abba, Abba, Abbaba.】

"...I'm speechless!"

Ruan Tian sulked alone, slamming the accelerator, but when she thought of Gu Yi and Ye Mofeng behind her, she softened considerably in the end.

What's going on with this system?

People have only ever talked about the seven-year itch.

But she's only been with the system for less than a year, and she's already starting to feel itchy?

Fortunately, there weren't many zombies to be seen on the second day after the Red Moon tide.

Otherwise, Ruan Tian's behavior would definitely attract a large number of hungry zombies!

Ruan Tian sulked alone for a while, and then the system finally spoke:

[Host, I was actually unconscious too.]

Upon hearing this, Ruan Tian immediately perked up. She had originally said she wouldn't pay attention to the system for three days, but now she was all smiles and excited.

"What happened? You've fallen into a coma too?"

[Hmm, I guess I said something I shouldn't have. When I woke up again, I felt like I was missing a part of my memory.]

Upon hearing this, Ruan Tian immediately became anxious, "Won't that have any effect on your health?"

But after she said that, she realized that she didn't even know what the system looked like. Maybe the system was just a soul without a body.

Don't worry about that. I haven't been affected at all. I just lack some memories, which I prefer to call emotions.

Ruan Tian frowned in confusion. What kind of emotion was the system lacking?

Is it because of this that the system doesn't seem as lively as before when it talks to Ruan Tian?

Ruan Tian didn't know what else to say, fearing that she might ask something she shouldn't and cause the system to fall into a coma again.

[Host, you don't need to worry about my body. As I spend more time with you, these feelings will gradually return.]

"That's good," Ruan Tian breathed a sigh of relief, but before she could fully catch her breath, she heard the system say again:

[Host, I need to warn you, in this post-apocalyptic world, you are just one of many... NPCs.]
