Chapter 259 The Former Female Protagonist of the Apocalypse Who Became Cannon Fodder (Part 5) Lin You stares...

Lin You stared at the cheat system in silence for a while. Well, it fit Liu Yiyi's character of a gluttonous girl, but it still didn't help with the mission.

Liu Yiyi stared at the golden finger in silence for a long time, and only when Lin You looked over did she show a somewhat awkward smile.

Well, there's another important reason why she's so greedy: she can't cook.

It's not that she can't cook, but when you ask her to cook, she tends to do some weird things, like adding jelly to instant noodles or spicy strips to yogurt.

After listening to her description and imagining it for a moment, Lin You couldn't help but grin. How could she combine perfectly normal ingredients to create such a culinary disaster?

Fortunately, Lin You was already a seasoned task master with perfect reading comprehension. After glancing at the task requirements, she calmly said, "It's alright. Your task is to make it, not to make it taste good. Besides, the task requires 10,000 kinds of ingredients, not 10,000 dishes."

Liu Yiyi was relieved. There are so many things in the world that can be used as food. Ten thousand kinds of food are nothing to her. She could easily find them.

Seeing that Liu Yiyi wasn't under much pressure, Lin You handed the "golden finger" over to her to study, while she went to check the surroundings to see if there were any ways to improve the survival skills of her family members.

None of the three members of the Liu family had awakened any special abilities. This is similar to how people without spiritual roots cannot cultivate in the cultivation world; they don't even have the qualifications to enter the field.

The only guarantee for the Liu family is the "golden finger" in Liu Yiyi's hands, which can be disguised as a healing-type superpower.

However, this thing has already been discovered by the transmigrator. If she were to reveal it, a cheat that can heal and enhance superpowers would only bring Liu Yiyi endless trouble and danger.

There's also the storage bag Lin You gave the three of them before, a one-cubic-meter storage bag, which allows them to pretend to have spatial abilities. However, since all three are support-type, they are also easily controlled as laborers.

Unless you find an official organization, if you can join an official organization, then at least the basic security guarantee will not be a problem.

Lin You finally remembered a question: Where did all the officials go?

If so many ordinary people can survive in a horde of zombies, it's impossible that government officials couldn't survive.

Upon hearing Lin You's question, Liu's father noticed some problems: "Communication is down, all signals are blocked, even satellite signals are unusable, and even with the phone charged, satellite navigation is unavailable."

Besides these, there might be other reasons. Lin You looked through the map and finally decided to take Liu Yiyi for a stroll around the administrative center first.

The flying sword was very fast. Even though it went astray once because it didn't have navigation, Lin You quickly found the place. Her divine sense scanned the area and found that there were indeed living people. The reason why these people didn't run out was because a plant that had awakened its superpowers was blocking the entrance.

Look at those distinctive pale purple flower clusters hanging down; they must be wisteria, a common landscaping plant.

The plant didn't attack the people inside; it just had thick vines that blocked the doorway, preventing anyone inside from getting out.

Liu Yiyi was already quite skilled at riding Lin You's flying sword. She sat behind the flying sword, studying the "Ingredient Creativity Guide" given to her by the golden finger.

This thing looks like a book, but it's all blank pages. The cheat code does have instructions on how to use it, saying that putting a sample on it will automatically generate a usage guide.

Just as she was wondering where to find a plant to experiment with, Liu Yiyi looked up and saw such a large, ready-made wisteria. She couldn't resist picking a wisteria flower and placing it on the page of her book.

She had heard that wisteria flowers were edible. Although she had never eaten them, they were still a type of food. As for whether the mutated ones were edible, that depended on her cheat code.

Soon, the book page displayed the guide: The mutated wisteria flower is edible. After special cooking, it can increase energy slightly. It is suitable for wood-type ability users. Ordinary people will experience different side effects after eating it, depending on their individual constitution.

Liu Yiyi sighed helplessly. So if she wanted to cook a whole pot of food with this thing, she would have to find a wood-type ability user to avoid wasting it.

These days, it's hard enough to find a living person, so where is she going to find a wood-type ability user?

Lin You walked around the building once, and finally stopped by the window on the fourth floor. She knocked on the window, and the people inside had already noticed the commotion outside. Someone immediately ran over to open the window.

It wasn't that they weren't vigilant; they had simply been trapped for half a month and were running out of food. Even if Lin You hadn't come, the people in the building probably wouldn't have survived much longer.

Lin You and Liu Yiyi flew directly through the window into the room. There were three people inside who could stand up: the young man who had just opened the window, and two younger girls.

Several elderly people were lying haphazardly in the room. Lin You didn't recognize them, but Liu Yiyi looked familiar; she had seen her many times in the news.

The young man who opened the window didn't look too good either. He looked at the two of them somewhat awkwardly and asked in a low voice, "Do you have any extra water or food?"

Lin You checked on the people lying down. "They're still alive, but they fainted because they were hungry for too long."

She gave Liu Yiyi a wink, and Liu Yiyi immediately understood, taking out two bowls of still-steaming millet porridge from her storage bag.

This was something she and Lin You had discussed at home beforehand; the healing spring water couldn't be leaked out yet, so they would first pretend to be space-type ability users.

The young man, who had been hoping to ask for a couple of compressed biscuits, suddenly brightened up when he saw that the bowl of hot millet porridge was empty-handed.

Although he was also pale with hunger, he still fed the oldest person lying down the porridge first.

Two girls nearby also came over to help. Liu Yiyi and Lin You exchanged a glance, surprised that these people were all of good character.

Liu Yiyi took out a few more bowls of millet porridge and gave the three awake people some chocolates. She wanted them to replenish their energy before taking care of them, otherwise they might faint from hunger, and then she and Sister Tong would have to take care of them.

Because they had fainted from hunger, they opened their eyes after each of them ate a bowl of porridge. Liu Yiyi then gave them some glucose water to help them recover.

The person in charge here was probably the oldest, with the whitest hair. After drinking some water, he looked at Lin You and said, "We've been trapped here for half a month. We don't know what's going on outside."

Of the two, although Liu Yiyi always took things from the space, she would always look at Lin You's expression. Lin You was the one in charge.

Moreover, after they woke up, the three who were awake gave a brief report on the situation of the two. Although flying on a sword was a bit unbelievable, with zombies appearing, what else was unacceptable?

The white-haired old man looked at Lin You with a hint of expectation in his eyes. Didn't the older generation always say that when evil spirits are born, a master will inevitably emerge from the mountains?

He tentatively asked, "I wonder if this Taoist priest has come to exorcise demons and monsters? How many fellow disciples have come? If you need any cooperation from the government, please feel free to ask."

Lin You quickly interrupted his wild imagination: "Don't think about it. I'm a flying ability user. That flying sword is just a tool I use to show off and give my friends a ride. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, they didn't allow people to become sentient. So where did this cultivator come from?"

To prevent them from having any more wild thoughts, she quickly told Liu Yiyi about the situation outside: "There are still quite a few people alive, but the streets are full of zombies. Many people's food supplies are running low, and the longer we delay, the more people will die."

There are no official personnel in sight, all communications are cut off, and we can't contact anyone else. I flew to the next city to check, and the situation there is similar to ours..."

After saying that, Lin You added, "I can fly out to help investigate the situation or find people, but I need someone to guide me. Let's skip the formalities; saving lives is urgent. Just give the orders directly, leaders."

The white-haired old man and the others exchanged glances, held a brief meeting, and then sent one of the young girls with Lin You to a certain place to check on the situation.

Because of Yi Yunjian's temper, Lin You only took the little girl named Jian Meng with her, leaving Liu Yiyi behind.

She didn't need to worry about safety. Liu Yiyi could communicate with her in real time, and she also carried a talisman drawn by her. Even if a Golden Core cultivator came, she could hold out until Lin You returned to rescue her.

Liu Yiyi watched Lin You's departing figure, waved casually, and quickly became acquainted with another girl named Xia Tian.

"With so many of you, why didn't you tear the curtains and climb out the window? I didn't see any of the vines attacking anyone," Liu Yiyi nudged Xia Tian with her elbow and asked curiously.

Xia Tian shook her head with a pale face: "This wisteria really doesn't attack people. In the beginning, it was to protect us that they surrounded the building."

That day, some of my colleagues turned into zombies. To save most of us, two colleagues lured all the zombies out and closed the door. That's when the wisteria vines surrounded us.

This wisteria is a green tree outside the corridor. It was planted when the administration building was built, and it's been more than 30 years. My colleagues jokingly call it an old senior.

These young people who have just joined the company sometimes go to it to complain, and sometimes when the boss hears them, he teases them for complaining to their seniors.

In the first few days of the apocalypse, before the wisteria grew this big, there were too many zombies downstairs, and the dozen or so of them had to stay inside the building to survive.

Later, for some reason, the number of zombies decreased, and it did become safer outside, but they were too hungry to climb out.

Liu Yiyi hadn't expected that wisteria could possess a spirit. She glanced at the flower garlands that were almost reaching into the window and asked Xia Tian, ​​"Have you ever eaten wisteria flowers before?"

Xia Tian nodded: "This wisteria is old and the flowers have always bloomed very profusely. The chefs in the kitchen will pick some of the flower clusters to make wisteria flower cakes, which everyone likes to eat."

After the wisteria mutated, seeing how hungry we were, it would extend its flowers to feed us. However, only Jian Meng and I could eat a little; everyone else would suffer health problems after consuming them.

At this point, the expressions of the others became somewhat strange, even the white-haired old man's gaze shifted slightly, and Liu Yiyi wisely refrained from asking any further questions.

After all, it was the dark history of a political bigwig, so her curiosity wasn't that strong, and she tactfully shifted her gaze.

Liu Yiyi coughed lightly, casually opened the window, and reached out to pat the wisteria vines: "I'll get these people some food they can eat, can you give me some flowers in return?"

She had only intended to divert everyone's attention, but unexpectedly, the vines that were originally hanging outside actually started to rustle and move, and soon a long string of flowers stretched in through the window.
