Chapter 84 Another Encounter

When Ruan Tian first heard this answer, she stared in shock.

"Huh? How could that be normal? System, you saw it too, right? That bamboo skewer just flew back!"

Yes, host, I saw everything, but you don't need to worry. I specifically asked about the reason in detail.

"What's the reason? What did headquarters say?"

The system and Ruan Tian explained:

[Here's the thing, host. Headquarters said the cheat codes they gave you are way too big, so the targets you can't be too simple.]

Ruan Tian thought about her cheat system carefully and realized that it was indeed a bit too powerful.

"So... it's because the cheat codes I was given are too powerful that it's more difficult for me to complete the game than for others, is that what you mean?"

The system nodded and responded:

That's indeed the case. Do you have any further questions, host? I can contact headquarters.

Since the system had already said so, Ruan Tian really didn't have anything else she wanted to ask.

"Fine, I accept my fate."

Ruan Tian quickly accepted her fate; the host was so quick that even the system was somewhat astonished.

[Alright, I'm very pleased that you've come to your senses so quickly, host. I'm truly delighted.]

"Enough said, I'm quite pleased with myself. Let's first see who our target is this time."

The system quickly displayed the information about the new target to Ruan Tian.

"System, I don't know if it's just my imagination, but this name... seems a little familiar?"

[Target of pursuit: Gu Yi]

[Difficulty Level: SSS+]

[Strategy Tip: Oh? I heard you want to pursue him? Kid, go to bed. Getting him is like kicking a hornet's nest.]

Isn't this the first person Ruan Tian drew to pursue when she first arrived here?

After going around in circles, the two of them finally met again.

Ruan Tian found an abandoned building where there were fewer zombies. She went to a safe room on the second floor.

"System, I want to know where Gu Yi is located."

Currently, Gu Yi is located in City A.

After learning the other party's location, Ruan Tian was just about to breathe a sigh of relief when something occurred to her, and her heart suddenly jumped:

"Could he also be in grave danger?"

No, not really. He's quite different from the other characters you're trying to win over...

Ruan Tian exclaimed "Ah!" and couldn't help but become curious.

"How come it's different? Tell me quickly!"

【Forehead……】

The system seemed hesitant to speak about its target this time.

"System, why aren't you saying anything?"

Ruan Tian's heart was in her throat. She couldn't help but clench her fingers. Just thinking about the difficulty of the SSS+ level strategy gave her a headache.

[I'm afraid that if I tell you directly, you won't be able to handle the blow.]

Ruan Tian almost scratched the back of her hand. She swallowed hard and decided to ask anyway:

"Tell me, System. I've grown a lot since then, and I'm sure I can withstand any setbacks."

[Alright, since you want to know, host, then I'll tell you.]

"Yes, yes, I've already perked up my ears!"

Gu Yi's background is quite unique. Before the apocalypse, he was imprisoned in an underground arena and endured many incredibly cruel things.

Ruan Tian frowned and asked cautiously:

"What do you mean by 'extremely cruel'?"

The system sighed and briefly recounted Gu Yi's experiences to Ruan Tian:

[They were forced to fight wild animals, trained from a young age to master all sorts of weapons, and raised as assassins, with absolutely no human rights.]

He has long since become cold-blooded and ruthless, and no longer trusts anyone. It would be extremely exhausting for the host to interact with someone like him.

He enjoyed the taste of blood, and had even previously sought out a pool of blood to soak in. After experiencing betrayal once, he developed a particular aversion to women.

"alright!"

Seeing that the system was about to continue, Ruan Tian felt a headache coming on and immediately called a halt.

She immediately realized that Gu Yi was probably the most difficult person she had ever encountered in her life.

Want to win over Gu Yi?

"System, can you give me a estimate of the chances of winning over Gu Yi?"

[Host, the success rate is approximately 1%.]

Ruan Tian was devastated; with such a low success rate, she didn't even want to live anymore.

"Forget it, there's no point in thinking about it all here. I might as well cheer up!"

Ruan Tian quickly perked up; that's always been her personality.

Even if you feel down, it's only for a short period of time; you'll soon cheer up again.

She rolled up her sleeves, determined to charge forward with full force, no matter how difficult Gu Yi was to win her over!

Ruan Tian was quick to act; she was already full of energy.

[Host, won't you rest a little longer?]

"What's the point of resting? Let's charge!"

Ruan Tian rode the electric tricycle and sped directly towards City A.

The journey was relatively smooth.

They encountered some zombies, but Xiaobai dealt with them all.

But the further Ruan Tian went, the more she realized that something was wrong.

"System, is it just my imagination? Why are there more survivors ahead?"

[It's not just your imagination, host; something seems to be wrong in City A.]

To avoid being noticed by others, Ruan Tian put away the Snow White figure and prepared to walk.

She first put Little White away, then took out the cloak she had prepared in advance and wrapped herself up completely.

Sometimes, in such apocalyptic settings, what's truly frightening isn't the zombies, but the human heart.

If others knew that Ruan Tian had such a powerful ability to cheat, yet was still a "weak woman," they would definitely have malicious intentions.

She used this method to protect herself before she was fully certain of the other party's intentions.

Ruan Tian closed her eyes, relying on the map, and shuttled back and forth between cities, avoiding the hordes of zombies.

She soon discovered a spot on the map with many small blue dots.

This means... there is a large group of survivors stationed there.

"That's strange, how come they're there?"

[Something must have happened in City A, that's why they've gathered there.]

Fortunately, Ruan Tian received gratitude points from You Er before leaving.

She now has plenty of time to survive, so she's not in such a hurry to go to City A.

Ruan Tian didn't plan to go to the temporary survivor camp so soon.

"Human nature is far more terrifying than zombies. I'd better observe for a while."

Ruan Tian acted immediately, quickly slipping into the woods next to the encampment.

In her daze, she heard people arguing.

When Ruan Tian turned around, she saw someone she never expected!

"System! Is that person Ye Mofeng?!"
