Chapter 260 The Former Female Protagonist of the Apocalypse Who Became Cannon Fodder (Part 6) When the Wisteria...

When the wisteria presented her with a cluster of pink and white flowers, Liu Yiyi's eyes widened in shock, and she instinctively took a step back.

Even knowing it's the apocalypse, she's already seen zombies and superhumans, and her sister even has a cultivation system.

But when Liu Yiyi saw a plant develop self-awareness and become even smarter than some pets, she still felt her worldview shattered.

As she struggled to adapt to this world and piece together her shattered worldview, Wisteria thought she was complaining about not having enough flower garlands.

Soon another branch, laden with even more flowers, reached in and carefully poked Liu Yiyi's arm.

Liu Yiyi snapped out of her daze and hurriedly said, "That's enough, that's enough. I just need two bunches of flowers."

She touched the delicate pale purple cluster of flowers, a faint fragrance lingering in the air. "Will it hurt if I just pick it like this?"

The wisteria swayed gently as if shaking its head, and the two largest flower clusters fell into Liu Yiyi's arms.

After putting the wisteria flowers into her spatial storage, Liu Yiyi took out half of the food from the storage, all of which were supplies that Lin You had prepared for her, suitable for trading with others: compressed biscuits, ham sausages, braised eggs, instant noodles, and bottled water.

Looking at the pile of food, the wisteria seemed quite satisfied and swayed its vines. After tossing two more bunches of wisteria blossoms to Liu Yiyi, the vines retreated back through the window.

After putting away the wisteria flowers, Liu Yiyi couldn't help but glance at the wisteria that had climbed all over the building. No wonder everyone in this building was involved in politics; even the green trees at the entrance seemed to know a lot about human relationships.

This is clearly because they were worried that if they took so much food and only exchanged it for two bunches of wisteria blossoms, they would feel cheated and it would affect their goodwill and future plans, so they gave them two extra bunches.

The young man standing nearby shrewdly divided the food according to the number of people, giving the nutritious and easily digestible items to the older leaders, while he and Xia Tian took the dry and tough ones.

The group of people didn't fight or grab, nor did they take advantage of their numbers to ask Liu Yiyi to bring out more food.

After the leaders recovered somewhat, they didn't rest. While inquiring about Liu Yiyi's situation outside, they also held a meeting with paper and pen in hand.

Liu Yiyi listened in for a while and had to admire the specialists. The paper quickly listed one, two, three, four, five feasible solutions for the current situation, and they were just waiting for Lin You to bring back the specific information.

Lin You's first destination should be the military camp. Soldiers live in densely packed areas, and if they don't react in time when the apocalypse arrives, they could easily be killed by their comrades who have turned into zombies.

When they arrived at their destination, the first thing they saw was a large number of zombies dressed in military uniforms wandering around, as well as severed limbs and bloodstains everywhere.

Standing behind Lin You, Jian Meng's face turned pale as she watched the scene unfold. She felt weak and limp all over.

If Lin You hadn't grabbed her in time, she probably would have fallen off the flying sword and ended up as a snack among the zombies.

Jian Meng trembled as she clung to Lin You's waist, barely managing to regain a sense of security. Lin You patted her back reassuringly and controlled the flying sword to continue forward.

Although Jian Meng had seen zombies when the apocalypse began, she was protected in the building by Zi Teng before she could react. She had been starving for a few days and had never seen such a scene before.

With important matters to attend to, Jian Meng took several deep breaths to calm herself down, observed her surroundings, and located the campsite.

After determining the search area, Lin You activated her divine sense scan and quickly located the place where the living people were.

This should be a warehouse. There are still about two hundred survivors here. The food and water supply inside is temporarily available, but there are the most zombies wandering outside the warehouse, and there are also a few zombie dogs that should be police dogs turned into zombie dogs inside.

Jian Meng's voice trembled as she called out twice towards the warehouse, "Is Company Commander Li here? This is Jian Meng. How are you all?"

The people inside responded quickly. The people in the warehouse were in good condition, but there were zombie dogs waiting at the door, so they couldn't go out.

Zombie dogs are too fast and have a much more sensitive sense of smell than zombies, so they can be easily detected no matter how well they disguise themselves.

Zombies sense their surroundings through smell and sound. If they use weapons, the noise will only attract more zombies.

Lin You also saw the zombie dog with its head raised, staring at the two of them menacingly. She tried flying around once, and the zombie dog was indeed much faster than the ordinary zombie.

"Sister Lin, how much longer can you fly? Could you pick them up one by one from the rooftop? We don't need to drop them too far, just past the zombie horde." Jian Meng couldn't help but ask, seeing how easily she was flying.

Although the leaders only told them to check the messages before they came, in the current situation, who knows how long these people can hold out? They might still have a way to survive outside, right?

“There’s no need to pick them up one by one,” Lin You said calmly. Jian Meng’s heart sank. The leader hadn’t told them to rescue people, but were they really going to just sit idly by?

Lin You casually placed Jian Meng on the rooftop. After confirming that the surrounding area was safe, the sword in her hand unleashed thousands of sword beams, like a rain of swords falling, instantly wiping out all the zombies within a radius of several miles, whether human or dog.

Lin You looked at the severed limbs and remains scattered on the ground, turned her head away with some disgust, quickly took out a mask and put it on herself, and also tossed one to Jian Meng.

If it weren't for the sheer number of zombies, and the hassle of freezing them one by one, she really wouldn't have wanted to make things so bloody.

As for her identity, Lin You didn't care much. Anyway, as long as she didn't admit it, who would dare to be sure that she was a cultivator?

Jian Meng: (Pupils wide open in shock.jpg) (Stunned and speechless.jpg)

So what happened to the supposedly flying ability user, where the flying sword was just for showing off?

Have you ever seen a flying superhuman who can unleash the power of returning ten thousand swords to their source?!

Lin You shrugged, offering no explanation, since no one dared to voice their opinions to her anyway.

Jian Meng naturally had no objections. No matter what kind of skill it was, as long as it was effective, it could save people from dire straits!

There must have been a place inside the warehouse where one could see what was happening outside. After a while of silence, a sudden burst of noise erupted from inside the warehouse.

Amid cheers, jubilation, and disbelief, a soldier soon emerged from the gate. After confirming that the danger had truly passed, he made a gesture, and the others followed suit.

After confirming that they were safe, Lin You put on her humanoid navigation system and continued to the next location.

They went to three more places, each with its own set of problems. Fortunately, the people they were looking for were all alive, including one who was supposedly a professor in communications, whom Jian Meng begged to take back.

The girl originally planned to stay behind alone, but Lin You was really worried about her and said he would send her back to the administration building and then come back to pick her up. Jian Meng was also afraid that something might happen to the professor.

Left with no other choice, Lin You used a rope to hang the professor on the flying sword, carrying him like a piece of cured meat, which finally silenced the two of them.

Jian Meng had witnessed Lin You's methods and dared not make too many demands. If she really angered him, he might just quit, which would be a loss for a professor.

The professor, who had been trapped for so long and finally saw hope of being rescued, was in good condition. He was only suspended for a short while, and the rope around his waist was tied quite securely so he didn't suffer. It was better than leaving him behind.

This time, Yi Yun Sword had no objection. As long as it wasn't made too thick and heavy, like a door panel, it could accept it.

After Lin You and her entourage returned to the administration building, she and Liu Yiyi said goodbye and left. "There are elders waiting at home. Communication is not convenient these days, so I can't stay out for too long. They will worry."

The leaders nodded in understanding, and only after the others left did they ask Jian Meng for more details.

Jian Meng immediately became excited and began to describe in detail the power of Lin You's sword strike, using gestures and words, which could almost fill a three-thousand-word report.

Amidst the gasps of amazement from the crowd, even the wisteria outside the building seemed to tremble slightly after hearing a bit of it.

Aside from Lin You's combat prowess, everything else was going according to plan. The leaders and experts quickly held a small meeting to arrange follow-up work.

When Lin You brought Liu Yiyi home, it was already dark. Liu's parents were on the rooftop, seemingly planting vegetables and feeding chickens, but their occasional glances into the distance revealed that they were waiting for someone.

Seeing that they had returned safely, the two women breathed a sigh of relief. Su Wanwan took one of their hands and led them downstairs, saying, "I stewed chicken and cooked fish today. They're almost done cooking, and I've been waiting for you two to come back!"

The chicken is cooked in an iron pot, a common method in Northeast China. Potatoes and dried green beans are added, and instead of cornbread, palm-sized dried vegetable buns are stuck to the side of the pot.

Fish is Liu Jingyuan's specialty, sweet and sour fish. Lin You and Liu Yiyi collected a lot of seasonings at the market last time, so this meal was not much worse than what they ate before the apocalypse.

Lin You and Liu Yiyi quickly washed their hands and sat down at the dining table. While eating, they told Liu's parents what had happened.

"...Those leaders seem quite concerned, so they should find a solution soon." Liu Yiyi said while munching on a chicken wing. After she had eaten and drunk her fill, she had finished explaining the situation.

After Lin You and Liu Yiyi helped clean up the dishes, they let the two elders go to rest, with the lingering aroma of the food still in the air.

Lin You casually opened the windows of the north and south balconies. In the sixty-story building, the clear breeze flowed through, and in just a moment, the air in the room was completely refreshed.

Another advantage of living on a high floor is that it's easier for odors to dissipate, and no one will come knocking on your door because of the smell of your food.

Just like Xiao Saying now, because she added two extra sausages to her instant noodles, she was surrounded by ordinary members of the Longyuan Squad who smelled the aroma.

"Miss Xiao, do you think this is the pre-apocalyptic world? You can have two sausages with every meal. Our team members risk their lives to find supplies, and they can't even get a sip of instant noodle soup, yet you're being fed and served the best food here!"

Xiao Saying was already unhappy. Before she transmigrated, she wouldn't have touched this kind of thing. Now she could barely make do with it, but she was being mocked like this. She immediately slammed her hand on the table and stood up.

By the time Long Yu noticed the commotion, seven or eight team members were already lying on the ground groaning, with instant noodles scattered all over the place and mud-covered sausages being stuffed into their mouths.

Xiao Saying stood to the side with a cold face, looking at Long Yu and waiting for him to give an explanation. When the team members lying on the ground saw Long Yu, they immediately started to complain all at once.
