Chapter 634 Can't Go Back

"We didn't even say anything?"

There was nothing to hide, so Pei Xiu simply explained it.

Ding Ding narrowed her eyes: "No wonder Jiang Fan can control our consciousness and thoughts. It turns out it's because he has a system. I thought he used a curse, but this situation is no different from using a curse."

She used to read novels, and now she made a lot of connections: "No wonder that building was so strange. I thought Jiang Fan was secretly keeping a research team, with a constant temperature system, Wi-Fi, water, electricity, gas, and everything else. It turns out it was all thanks to the system."

Pei Xiu looked at Ling Ran: "Sister, where did the system go?"

The others also looked at Ling Ran, and they all felt that the system should be gone.

"They ran away."

"It ran away? Then is it still in this world?"

"exist."

Ling Ran smiled, her eyes unreadable: "Don't worry, we'll meet again."

When Jiang Fan died suddenly, Ling Ran did want to capture the system, but the system had some tricks up its sleeve and escaped Ling Ran's capture, but it was also severely weakened as a result.

It's probably impossible to go back to the original place. They'll likely bind another host to do missions and earn some energy.

If Ling Ran were to say it, this system is also stupid.

She killed Jiang Fan, so why doesn't it just cling to her leg?

If the system knew Ling Ran's thoughts, it would definitely cry foul.

It would certainly be willing to bind itself to someone as powerful as Ling Ran, but wasn't it afraid that Ling Ran would kill it?

It was hard for it to resist knowing that someone knew of its existence and had almost captured it. Under other circumstances, it might have considered taking a gamble, but Ling Ran was someone Jiang Fan had offended to the point of no return. How could it dare to kidnap Ling Ran?

When Ling Ran said that the system was still in this world, many people gasped.

Gu Zijing guessed, "Then the system should operate in the same way as us, requiring energy-like substances. The reason it didn't return to its original world is either because it couldn't return due to an unfinished mission, or because an adult injured it, preventing it from returning, right?"

"the latter."

Ling Ran gave Gu Zijing an approving look. Gu Zijing was indeed quick-witted and could guess the reason in no time.

"Then it will probably bind to a host again, firstly to replenish its energy, and secondly to continue its previous mission."

"Um."

Pei Xiu and Su Yimo looked at Gu Zijing with envy upon hearing Ling Ran's affirmative answer.

What kind of brain does this guy have? He's really smart.

In fact, Pei Yi and Shen Nianshen are also very smart. After all, they were the perfect children before the apocalypse. However, Gu Zijing was a psychologist before, so she understands human nature better. Moreover, the superpower she awakened after the apocalypse is a mental superpower, which makes her superior to Pei Yi and Shen Nianshen in terms of intelligence.

Gu Zijing is better able to quickly observe and deduce details and aspects of human nature.

"On another note, this system is really blind. Since it wants to rebind itself to the system, why not bind itself to the adults? All those tasks it has are things that adults can complete with just a few words, allowing them to live the same life as us, winning without lifting a finger."

Su Yimo complained, "No wonder we've fallen to this state. It's really impossible to have good judgment. As the saying goes, it's not the god-like opponents you should fear, but the pig-like teammates. What did you see in Jiang Fan? If it's about looks, how many people in our team are more handsome than Jiang Fan? We could have paired him with Zijing or something."

“Exactly, am I not as handsome as Jiang Fan?” Pei Xiu said arrogantly.

“Exactly, even though I’m not as handsome as Brother Xiu, I’m still very confident compared to Jiang Fan,” Zhou Hang immediately chimed in.

Su Yimo, unusually, did not argue with Pei Xiu, but nodded and said, "There's really no way to refute that, so this system really has no vision at all."

After saying that, she looked at Ling Ran and asked, "My lord, if we encounter that system again next time, can we take it back?"

"That's what I think too."

Ling Ran nodded.

She knew that Su Yimo was after the system's functions, but Ling Ran was also very eager to have such a little gadget. It would save her so much trouble.

Of course, Ling Ran had other ideas about wanting the system.

As for Qiu Se and the others, they were completely stunned.

They all knew something about systems; they appeared in novels and had some understanding of them. Generally, these systems were omnipotent, and binding with a system was no different from reaching the pinnacle of life.

But now, adults can actually control the system with ease?

That's incredible.

They were so strong that they felt they had to reflect on whether they were qualified to be Ling Ran's fans.

Suddenly, they remembered something else.

If such a person exists, then there should be hope for the end of the world, right?

For a moment, their hearts were filled with hope!

"I'm going out tomorrow; I'd like to go for a walk in the city."

"Are you looking for supplies, sir?"

"Okay." Ling Ran nodded: "I've had Xiao Feng bring ten people with him, they'll be coming with us."

Upon hearing this, Gu Zijing and the others instantly understood Ling Ran's intention.

However, Pei Xiu clearly didn't understand: "Sister, do we still need to bring the people from the Lost City? With you here, we can go anywhere, right?"

Pei Yi, unable to bear watching any longer, couldn't help but explain to him, "Your sister just wants to mentor them."

"oh!"

Pei Xiu realized, "Then they really got lucky. But as for Feng Ming, the city lord of the Lost City, I do have a pretty good impression of him. He's a man of action, and the atmosphere in the Lost City is quite nice. When I went out today, some people recognized me and insisted on giving me cabbages, but I refused."

"I don't want to eat this cabbage for the time being."

Ling Ran nodded and instructed Uncle Chen, "Xiao Chen, for the time being, please don't put potatoes, cabbage, sweet potatoes, corn, or anything like that on the table."

"Yes, sir."

After chatting for a while, Qiu Se and the others said their goodbyes. It was almost lunchtime. Apart from the day they left with the adults and got a free meal from them, they had been eating their own supplies ever since.

Fortunately, by following the adults, they were able to go to places with many zombies. In such places, there was usually no shortage of supplies, so they were able to fill their stomachs and even save up quite a few supplies along the way.

A large round table was brought out and placed in the main room, and Liu Xiuping and Chen Xiaoying helped serve the dishes.

"Qiu Se and the others are quite perceptive." Su Yimo stood behind Ling Ran, massaging her shoulders and back. "And they're quite hardworking too. It's just that I always feel that Ding Ding treats Qiu Se a little differently. I wonder if I'm just overthinking it."

"Finally, someone else feels the same way I do."

Hu Meiying immediately leaned over and whispered, "Sister Emo, do you also think Dingding likes Qiu Se?"

"You like it?" Su Yimo thought for a moment, "You know what, it seems like it really is."

She had previously felt that Dingding's attitude towards Qiuse seemed a bit ambiguous, but since they were two girls, she didn't think much of it and assumed they were just good friends.

But now that Hu Meiying has said that, it seems like there's some truth to it.

After all, Dingding was a lesbian before, and Qiuse's core is very strong, which makes people feel very safe.

If she were a lesbian, she would also like a girl like Qiu Se.
