Chapter 8 It turns out I'm just a tool
The person opposite saw that Yang Luoliu had stopped talking for a long time and asked carefully.
"Boss, did you see it too? Boss? Boss!"
Amidst the rapid shouts, Yang Luoliu finally came back to his senses from the shock. Not knowing how to describe the scene, he could only hum softly.
Silence spread between the two of them, and finally Yang Luoliu spoke.
"Where are you now? Are you safe?"
"Yeah, I'm at home, boss." It seemed like he wanted to say something but didn't know how to ask it, so the two of them just stood there in a stalemate.
Finally, Yang Luoliu spoke softly. "Just stay home and wait for government assistance."
"Okay, boss, please be safe. I'm hanging up now."
"Okay, you should be careful too."
The two hung up the phone after they finished talking, but Yang Luoliu did not leave the window. Instead, he quietly watched as more and more creatures that could not be considered human came into the community and were already wandering around the community.
Yang Luoliu watched helplessly as someone ran out of his house in panic, followed by that inhuman creature. Before he could run far, he was knocked down by something wandering around the community, and his screams echoed throughout the community.
After those things left, Yang Luoliu found that only some bones were left on the ground.
Gradually, screams were heard in the community, and Yang Luoliu seemed to smell a faint smell of blood at the tip of his nose.
As if thinking of the experiences of those people, Yang Luoliu could no longer bear it, closed the window, and rushed into the toilet to vomit violently.
Just as I recovered a little, I heard violent knocking on the door downstairs and a shrill cry of "Help, open the door".
Thinking of Ye Yiyi downstairs, Yang Luoliu grabbed a piece of paper, wiped the corner of his mouth casually, and ran downstairs quickly.
It was impossible for Ye Yiyi downstairs not to be frightened when she heard the banging on the door. The force seemed to be enough to smash the door.
Ye Yiyi naturally knew what was outside, so she didn't shout loudly for Yang Luoliu upstairs to come down and open the door.
But the knocking on the door in the empty villa, which became louder and louder, still made Ye Yiyi panic, and she had to hold on to the sofa under her tightly.
When Yang Luoliu went downstairs, what he saw was Ye Yiyi staring at the door in fear with red eyes, and she was shaking pitifully with the fierce knocks on the door.
However, Yang Luoliu didn't think much about it and immediately wanted to go forward to open the door and save people. When Ye Yiyi saw Yang Luoliu's actions, she was so scared that she almost broke down and shouted at Yang Luoliu to stop.
Although it was very immoral to do so, but now that it concerned her own safety, Ye Yiyi could only say sorry in her heart.
But before Ye Yiyi could speak, the knocking sound at the door suddenly stopped. Yang Luoliu's steps forward paused, and he strangely stopped half an inch away from the door and did not move another step closer.
This was followed by the woman's scream, but it did not last long before it turned into a weak cry for help, and gradually even the faint cry for help disappeared.
The entire living room fell into an eerie silence. Listening carefully, one could hear chewing sounds and the growls of wild beasts outside the door, and it seemed there were quite a few of them.
Thinking about what kind of scene this was, Yang Luoliu felt that the nausea that he had suppressed with great difficulty was coming back, and he subconsciously moved away from the door.
But looking at Ye Yiyi with a pale face and trembling lips, Yang Luoliu forced himself to suppress it.
Ye Yiyi's pale face was not fake. For someone who didn't even dare to kill a fish, it would be a lie to say that she wasn't scared when she suddenly entered such an environment.
Especially the chewing sounds coming from across the door clearly reached her ears. Ye Yiyi had the illusion that they were chewing her, which made her hair stand on end.
Fortunately, I had prepared myself mentally for a long time when I first came to this world, and I didn't see any bloody scenes, so I calmed down.
"Sister, sister, just now." But the voice was still trembling.
Seeing Ye Yiyi talking, Yang Luoliu forced himself to focus his attention on Ye Yiyi and not think about the creepy voice.
"It's okay, you, just sit down for a while, I'll go check the doors and windows."
Although Yang Luoliu looked bad, his voice was calmer than Ye Yiyi's. He looked at the doors and windows on the first floor and found that they were locked tightly. He glanced at Ye Yiyi who was sitting there in a daze and saw that her face was not very good. Then he pulled up all the curtains on the first floor.
He forced a smile when Ye Yiyi looked at him in confusion.
"It's safer this way. Wait, I'll explain it to you."
Ye Yiyi knew what was going on without her explanation, but she couldn't express it, so she nodded obediently and sat on the sofa, watching Yang Luoliu go upstairs.
When she went upstairs, Ye Yiyi looked at her slightly trembling hands. She didn't want to stay in this dangerous world for a moment.
Not long after, Yang Luoliu came downstairs. It must be said that the blackout effect of the curtains on the first floor was really good. Yang Luoliu was very scared in the dark environment.
"Where's your light?"
"Sister, it's right at the entrance."
When Yang Luoliu went over and turned on the light, he saw blood flowing in from the entrance. He closed his eyes and calmed himself down.
Then he pretended to be calm and sat beside Ye Yiyi and continued to treat Ye Yiyi's wound.
No one spoke for a moment, and no one knew what to say.
After Yang Luoliu treated Ye Yiyi's wound, he felt much calmer.
"I don't know how to explain it to you, have you ever played a game like zombies?"
Yang Luoliu explained the matter in a way that both of them could accept.
After Yang Luoliu finished speaking, both of them were silent for a long time. Yang Luoliu thought that Ye Yiyi was digesting this matter, but Ye Yiyi already knew it and didn't know how to show her surprise, so she responded with silence.
In the end, Yang Luoliu couldn't stand the silence in the room and spoke softly.
"You, do you want to call your relatives to let them know you're safe?"
Ye Yiyi was stunned for a moment and shook her head reluctantly.
"No, I, I'm an orphan."
Yang Luoliu didn't know about Ye Yiyi's situation because the person in front of her was too sunny and cheerful. She thought she was a girl with a happy family and was loved by the whole family.
"I'm sorry, I don't know." He opened his mouth, but in the end could only blurt out these words without any emotion.
"It's okay. In this situation, it seems better to be without relatives."
After Ye Yiyi finished speaking, the living room fell silent again. Although the two met every day and had close contact, they had never really sat down and had a detailed conversation.
Besides, Yang Luoliu was not a talkative person, and given the current situation, the two of them really had no happy topics to start with.
In the end, it was Yang Luoliu who spoke.
"Sorry, I might have to stay at your house for the next few days."
Ye Yiyi opened her eyes and her eyes were full of happiness.
"That's great. I won't be too scared if I have someone to accompany me in this environment."
Yang Luoliu just forced a smile at Ye Yiyi's behavior. After all, in her opinion, Ye Yiyi was forcing herself to smile.
After all, how could I really laugh when it happened so suddenly?
"Well, don't look out the window recently. I've drawn the curtains upstairs and downstairs."
After saying that, Yang Luoliu took out his cell phone and dialed two numbers back and forth, but no one answered no matter how many times he called. Yang Luoliu's face became worse and worse.
It has been almost half an hour and Yang Luoliu is still beating her tirelessly. Ye Yiyi didn't understand at first, but now she knows who she is beating just by thinking with her toes.
"Is my sister calling her relatives?"
Ye Yiyi's voice brought him back to his senses. After a sigh of "Ah," he spoke again. "That's right, yeah."
After saying that, the phone went dark again. Without looking at Ye Yiyi's expression, he continued to dial.
She was so focused on her phone call that she didn't even notice Ye Yiyi's eyes rolling up to the sky.
If she hadn't discovered recently that this person liked girls who were pretty and well-behaved, she would have wanted to pry open her head right now to see how much water was inside.
I endured it again and again, but finally I couldn't stand it anymore.
"Sister, if they are alright, they will definitely call you to let you know they are safe. If they are, no one will answer even if you call."
After Ye Yiyi finished speaking, Yang Luoliu paused. Finally, he put away his phone and looked at Ye Yiyi in front of him.
"I have to thank you today. If it weren't for you, I might have been killed in the company." Then he realized what he said and hurriedly explained.
"It's not that you're hurt today, it's just that."
Seeing her, a cold and domineering person, in such an embarrassing state, Ye Yiyi's fear disappeared, but her face was still pale.
"It's okay, sister. If this injury today really saved you, then it's indeed a good injury."
Looking at the well-behaved and lovely Ye Yiyi in front of him, Yang Luoliu just curled the corners of his mouth slightly, and then neither of them spoke.
Just sitting quietly in the living room killing time, Yang Luoliu would go to the official website or major websites from time to time to see the country's measures.
Unfortunately, she was disappointed. Although this country established a security base faster than other countries, it was impossible for this world with the end of the world to truly see peace.
But Ye Yiyi didn't say anything and just remained quiet.
It was time for lunch at noon. Yang Luoliu looked at Ye Yiyi's injured leg, pursed her lips, and volunteered to go to the kitchen to get something to eat.
He waited until the food was brought to the restaurant before carrying Ye Yiyi from the living room to the restaurant.
Looking at the delicious dish and soup in front of her, Ye Yiyi raised her eyebrows, thinking that such a big boss couldn't cook.
But it was too early to say that. As soon as Ye Yiyi took a bite, she was speechless because of the saltiness. But looking at Yang Luoliu in front of her, she swallowed the dish forcefully.
"It's quite good with rice."
Yang Luoliu felt a little embarrassed about this. The food he ate was either ordered by his assistant or taken out, or he ate with company employees. The worst case scenario was that he cooked instant noodles for himself.
She thought the little girl in front of her should be the same as herself, but when she opened the refrigerator and saw all the raw vegetables and meat, Yang Luoliu was dumbfounded. However, she had already said it, and looking at Ye Yiyi's ankle, she was embarrassed to call her over again.
The taste was unsatisfactory, but Ye Yiyi, who was sitting opposite, saw that it was so salty that she had difficulty swallowing, so she still ate the lunch with rice.
Since she was like this, Yang Luoliu naturally couldn't say anything and just forced herself to eat.
After eating, Ye Yiyi said she wanted to go upstairs for a nap. It was not that she really wanted to sleep, but the system had woken up a long time ago, but with Yang Luoliu next to her, she didn't know what to say to it.
Fortunately, the three rooms upstairs had bedding already laid out, so Yang Luoliu didn't have to do it herself. After Yang Luoliu sent Ye Yiyi into the room and closed the door for her, he went to any room.
Yang Luoliu couldn't sleep at all in this environment.
On the other side, looking at the system floating in the air, eager to try, only one sentence popped up in his mind.
"What are you?"
The squirrel, which was swaying from side to side, apparently paused.
"I'm not a thing, no, I'm a thing, no, I." In the end, he was powerless to defend himself and simply stopped talking.
The initial arrogance on the squirrel's face disappeared, and he could only introduce himself weakly.
"You can also regard me as the god of this world."
Under Ye Yiyi's puzzled gaze, the system projected multiple virtual display screens in the air, on which were displayed various extremely lethal weapons.
Except for a few guns that Ye Yiyi recognized, the rest were guns and ammunition that she had never seen before, or those that looked very much like guns. Looking at the astronomical numbers under each weapon, Ye Yiyi felt that they were probably not real guns.
As if sensing Ye Yiyi's confusion, the squirrel floated in front of her. "These are the most lethal weapons in my space. I've just opened up access to them, but unfortunately, you can't use anything but the most basic weapons."
Seeing Ye Yiyi looking over, the system flew over to another weapon, pointed at it with its short hand and said, "Not to mention that the price you can't pay for it is beyond the reach of an ordinary person like you, you can't even lift this weight."
Then he enlarged her and pushed her in front of Ye Yiyi. "Don't be fooled by its small size now, it actually weighs a ton. It's like a laser cannon, it recharges every ten minutes and lasts ten minutes at a time. Wherever it sweeps, level two zombies are instantly killed, level three zombies are a piece of cake, and level four zombies are a bit of a stretch."
Under Ye Yiyi's astonished gaze, the system pushed it back. "And this is the lightest and least lethal of all these weapons. Esperants can change their strength after evolution. A third-level Esperant can easily take a ton like this, so two tons is no big deal." After saying this, he glanced at Ye Yiyi with some regret.
Ye Yiyi was furious when seeing this. The system coughed and turned away without looking at her.
"But you don't have to feel sorry. You can't use it, but Yang Luoliu can. These are all exchangeable resources."
"It seems I'm just a tool, right?"
Seeing Ye Yiyi like this, the system said embarrassedly: "No, I am the tool system."
In response, Ye Yiyi just rubbed her head.
"You dragged me in here. I can't use those low-end weapons. I don't want to exchange them for money."
"Host, if you don't need it, low-level weapons don't require much source power to make. If you want to give it, you can give it. If you don't want to give it, you don't have to give it. However, what you give is not money, but crystal cores. Money is of no use to me."
He raised his hand and slid the system in front of him and asked doubtfully, "Crystal Core?"
The system struggled to its wits' end, finally speaking in frustration. "Yes, it's a crystal core, from the brains of zombies or mutated plants and animals."
Looking at Ye Yiyi's confused look, he detached his body from Ye Yiyi's hands and then solidified it in mid-air. A teaching stick appeared in his hand without him noticing when. The weapons on the virtual screens around him were replaced by the original appearance of the zombie.
