Chapter 87
In that instant, the sunlight seemed to dim for a moment, and everyone's eyes were completely filled with the figure of the girl in front of them.
Her fair and delicate neck was slender and beautiful, with graceful lines and a clearly defined collarbone.
A white dress accentuated her shapely figure, like a tender, pure white jasmine quietly blooming in the height of summer.
Her eyes were gentle, and a faint smile played on her lips. They were clear and bright, like a continuous spring, as if one could see into the depths of one's heart.
Everyone at Zhongzhou University knows that whenever someone speaks to Ji Lingwu, she gazes intently at them with her tender, affectionate eyes.
Regardless of the other person's clothing or appearance, she is always gentle and warm, never showing any disrespect to anyone.
Even though she never speaks, she is still an extremely dazzling presence.
Everyone said that she should be cherished and protected by all living beings, and should not have to experience any of the hardships from the outside world.
But she didn't!
She is gentle yet resilient, unafraid of any hardship.
Like a magnolia that grows on a cliff, swaying gracefully even in the wind.
Ling Wu hadn't slept all night and was feeling a bit tired. She blinked the damp mist clinging to her eyelashes and waited for the young man to continue.
Ji Lingwu died in the middle of the apocalypse. If she wanted to see the dawn after the apocalypse ended, she needed to end it sooner.
Her current research topic is related to this.
The refined young man before us is the future lord who will establish the second largest sanctuary city outside of the official system in the post-apocalyptic world.
But right now...
Seeing the boy's earlobes gradually turning red, Lingwu's eyebrows curved, her lively expression accompanied by a hint of confusion.
Jiang Zhizhi quickly snapped out of his daze and handed the documents and USB drive in his hand to Ling Wu.
"This is something my advisor asked me to give to you, saying you'll need it in the future." His voice was low and hoarse, and if you listened carefully, you could hear a hint of nervousness.
Lingwu stretched out her hand, her fair fingertips landing on the document, making them appear even more translucent.
Her mentors asked her a few days ago if she wanted to leave with them and go to the country's base.
Because things might be about to change.
These researchers are very valuable, so they were allowed to bring their families and some outstanding students with them.
Lingwu shook her head and refused, because the "brother" who saved Ji Lingwu in the apocalypse was now just an ordinary person, and she needed to stay and rescue the young man so they could leave together.
However, Ji Lingwu did not have the memory of that "brother's" identity before the apocalypse, so she could only follow the established timeline for the time being.
Moreover, the world in the apocalypse is chaotic, and there will never be peace wherever there are people. Her priority is to focus on developing the reagent without any distractions.
Lingwu entered this world on the very day that Ji Lingwu registered at Zhongzhou University.
Zhongzhou University is a top university in China, so Ji Lingwu must have put in a tremendous amount of effort and endured countless hardships to be able to get into it.
Since Ling Wu arrived, she has been sought after by mentors over the course of a year due to her outstanding qualifications and unique insights.
As for the title of "Peking University's Campus Belle," it seems insignificant to her.
She needs to wait until the apocalypse breaks out in three days before she can speak normally, because the world operates according to its own rules, and heretics will be eliminated.
Take, for example, the death of Ji Lingwu in her first life.
Fortunately, the surrounding environment had quietly changed over the past year, and her superpower had now reached level three.
Her current power of words is stronger than Ji Lingwu's previous two lives combined.
The most regrettable thing during this year was that human laboratories were not allowed, and genetic modification was even more forbidden!
Therefore, apart from gaining free access to the laboratory, she could only access the research efforts of scientists in this world regarding environmental changes.
All that hard work is now contained in this file and this small USB drive.
Ling Wu nodded slightly to Jiang Zhizhi, her lips curving into a faint smile. Her eyes were exceptionally bright, and Jiang Zhizhi instantly understood what Ling Wu meant.
Behind the glasses, her eyes held deep affection, and her heart pounded fiercely.
"It's no trouble at all, it was just a small favor."
I stood there, watching the girl in the white dress walk away slowly, like a gentle breeze, until she was gone.
Three days later.
Lingwu stood by the window, gazing into the distance.
The sky was overcast, with low-hanging clouds.
She turned and drew the curtains, looking unusually downcast.
Food was scarce in the apocalypse, so half of each of the two Soul Beads was used to brew Meng Po Soup.
In previous worlds, she had never worried about food.
However, she remembered that in the team Ji Lingwu joined, there was a girl who had a spatial ability, and that girl was also very skilled at cooking.
Thinking of this, Lingwu's eyes brightened for a moment.
That girl was her roommate, Wenya.
When Lingwu first met Wenya, she felt that Wenya had a very special aura, but that special aura was too faint for her to understand precisely.
However, with the apocalypse approaching, she should be able to find out where the strange things are.
Because she is temporarily unable to speak, living at the school would be somewhat inconvenient, so when she received her first bonus, she rented a small duplex apartment on her own.
Although her three roommates tried everything—coaxing, crying, and playing the victim—they couldn't stop her from leaving.
Aside from the inconvenience, another reason was that she didn't understand why these well-behaved little girls always acted like big bad wolves trying to lure little white rabbits in front of her.
She didn't want to interfere too much with unrelated people.
After all, once you come into contact with someone, there will inevitably be a cause and effect.
Lingwu stood in front of the mirror. After turning on the tap, clean water that had not yet been polluted flowed out slowly. Lingwu scooped up the water and splashed it on her face.
A comfortable, cool sensation washes over you.
When she looked up again, the girl's already beautiful face, which made it impossible to feel any malice, was now made even more delicate and pure by the gentle sliding of water droplets.
Ling Wu sighed softly. Her gentle eyes now seemed to have hooks, and as her superpowers increased, those eyes would only become more and more maddening.
In her previous life, Ji Lingwu had the same reason for having thick bangs. After all, for an ordinary person without superpowers to have such eyes in the apocalypse would only bring trouble!
But now, things are different.
She can now walk around without any worries in the apocalypse.
After all, the power of words is not limited to humans.
Ling Wu picked up the documents and USB drive and put them in her bag. Ignoring the shouts coming from the hallway outside, she slowly opened the door.
The sound of the door opening startled the zombies outside in the corridor!
Several zombies staggered toward the door, but Ling Wu stood inside without flinching or moving an inch.
Their rotting fingers were already reaching for Ling Wu's shoulder, but—
“I say, fear me.”
A gentle, ethereal whisper, like a spring breeze, escaped Lingwu's lips, faint and ethereal.
These five simple words were enough to make the terrifying-looking zombies turn around and flee in a panic.
She was slender and visibly frail compared to the zombies.
But in the eyes of zombies, the stunningly beautiful girl in the white dress and with black hair is like the most terrifying existence in the world!
Ling Wu's gaze remained unchanged as she stepped out of the room and then slowly closed the door behind her.
The saying "words become law" is indeed quite novel.
