"You're overthinking it. Nothing happened the next day. I only came out because I was slacking off." Shi Yin said innocently, "I thought you guys were also trying to be lazy."
"There's no way to get rid of all the zombies." Shi Yin opened the door, raised her gun, and casually blew the head off a zombie clinging to the door. She then kicked the corpse away with practiced ease. "Tsk, I have to clean the door again."
Once I stepped outside, I realized why there were zombies at the door.
At first, neither Nan Zhu nor Freya noticed that there was a protective shield here. Now, a large hole has been torn in the edge, and the broken edge is like a distortion of the air, with zombies constantly squeezing in.
Fortunately, the zombies were not orderly; they crowded together, so very few zombies managed to squeeze in.
Shi Yin clapped her hands, and the semi-circular transparent protective shield instantly contracted. Because it was so abrupt, the crowded zombies lost their support and collapsed in droves, and the zombie horde immediately fell into chaos.
Immediately afterwards, the shrinking protective shield transformed into a diffused airflow, and in an instant, the swarming zombies turned into ice sculptures. As Shi Yin clapped her hands again, they all shattered into ice shards.
"Wow, that's amazing..." Freya exclaimed in surprise.
Freya can handle these zombies, it would take her about three to five minutes if she went all out, but she can't do it as easily as Tokine's breathing.
"Of course, a savior should act like a savior." Shi Yin smiled smugly: "Let's go explore the danger zone today too!"
"Danger zone?" Nan Zhu and Freya looked at each other in bewilderment.
"How much do you know about this world? Tell me." Shi Yin drew her longsword from its sheath and examined it carefully in the sunlight: "Apocalypse Knight? Seven Stars? Or the Seven Deadly Sins?"
Shi Yin brought it up herself, much to the delight of the two.
They were initially worried that if they revealed too much beforehand, it would alert Shi Yin, but now they clearly have no such worries.
“We know all of this, but it’s not something we define ourselves. We’re usually responsible for carrying out missions.” Nan Zhu’s answer remained cautious: “We don’t know exactly how far we’ve progressed. After the others died, we hid for a very long time before fleeing.”
"Oh... no wonder you're doing so well. It seems your shelter has a lot of things left." Shi Yin suddenly realized.
These two seem to have a good understanding of each other. It's likely that when they went out on a mission, something happened at the shelter and they were wiped out, leaving only the two of them when they returned.
Shi Yin secretly guessed.
Generally speaking, a shelter needs to provide for the survival of many people, so the reserves of supplies are quite large. Providing for everyone in the shelter requires frugality, while providing for just two people is much simpler.
These two people are now stranded outside, and presumably they've used up all the supplies in that shelter. It's quite a coincidence that they were so lucky to run into him.
How can a shelter be wiped out without anyone noticing, without damaging any supplies? Is it the laziness of the dream, Belphegor?
“If I’m not mistaken, you don’t need to seek revenge anymore. I’ve already killed the culprit.” Shi Yin thought for a moment, “If your shelter and supplies are intact, but all the people have disappeared, it must have been Belphegor who did it.”
“We are now looking for Lucifer’s home. I’ve been confronting him for a long time. He’s elusive and has absorbed the power of other monsters, which is very troublesome.” Shi Yin said seriously, “I don’t know if you are prepared to make sacrifices.”
“Lucifer?” Freya was taken aback; it was a name they had never heard of before.
"Yes, were you scared by this ridiculously chuunibyou name?" Shi Yin misunderstood Freya's meaning: "There's nothing we can do. These are indeed things that humans have studied with great care. This is the research direction itself."
"What's going on?" Nan Zhu couldn't remain calm either.
These were things that even Toki from the original world had never told him.
“That’s true. I didn’t see you guys when I was talking to the other shelter leaders. You probably didn’t have a high status back then, so I never heard of you being entitled to such titles.” Shi Yin pondered for a moment.
Actually, Shi Yin felt something was strange. When she first met these two people, she had a strange sense of closeness to them. It wasn't like they were family, friends, or lovers, but rather a vague attraction.
When I first met Ye Shaoheng and the others, I felt uncomfortable and inexplicably wary. Why is it different when I'm with these two?
However, there are too few humans and available means right now, so Shi Yin doesn't intend to dwell on these things and simply entrusts her with the task first.
If the gamble pays off, it will also solve the crisis.
If you made the wrong bet, just kill them next time you encounter them.
"Based on my current deduction, natural disasters are basically fixed in their inevitability. Even if the timing may be earlier or later, the order will be the same." Shi Yin patiently explained to the two of them, "But those monsters are different. They are man-made creations, specifically designed to destroy human society."
"Moreover, this world is the villain to us. It's a global corporation that has been planning for at least a hundred years, almost like a throne, to be passed down from generation to generation."
"They've been lying in wait for so long?" Freya said thoughtfully, resting her chin on her hand. "No wonder the humans were caught off guard at first; they've been preparing for this for so long."
“Yes, every country contributed. The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and the Seven Deadly Sins were created by those guys from abroad. As for the Seven Stars, you should be able to guess that they came from the Flame Dragon Kingdom.” Shi Yin continued, “Fortunately, our country got involved the latest, and the investigations within the country were very strict, so we could only manage to reach the level of the Seven Stars.”
“But the Seven Stars are somewhere between the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and the Seven Deadly Sins, aren’t they?” Freya asked doubtfully. “The Seven Stars are stronger than the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.”
“No, no, no, generally speaking, when a zombie becomes this kind of monster, it completely erases its human side and is completely covered by the group consciousness of another species with a concept of interests. Do you understand what I mean?” Shi Yin explained, “But there are humans in the Seven Stars, and they are basically half-finished human products.”
“It’s impossible to turn other monsters to defect, but Seven Stars has a chance. There was one who did help us,” Shi Yin said. “They were tragic humans who were provoked and ended up on the opposite side, not monsters like zombies.”
I see……
Freya and Nanzhu suddenly realized.
"But don't worry, in the past twenty years I've reduced them to just that arrogant Lucifer. Once this is over, we'll definitely be able to defeat the apocalypse." Seeing the two silent, Shi Yin assumed they were worried and disappointed, so she quickly comforted them.
"Actually, I've already figured out the location pretty well, but it's troublesome that he keeps avoiding direct confrontation with me. He always sneaks up on lone humans to gradually weaken their strength."
"If you're ready, come with me. After all, if humanity becomes completely extinct, we won't be able to survive either."
