"Yinyin?"
Jiang Ning was surprised, but Cheng Sui didn't ask any questions. She simply took Shi Yin's hand and let Shi Yin lead her.
Shi Yin didn't say much. She pinched Cheng Sui's fingertip and pricked it, dripping a drop of blood onto the windowsill. Then she pulled Cheng Sui and ran towards the door.
Soon, everyone realized that something was wrong.
Just as Shi Yin and Cheng Sui climbed onto the window, within minutes, zombies climbed onto the window, pounding on it and roaring excitedly, crashing into it again and again, even smashing their heads.
The red, yellow, and blue liquids smeared on the glass sent chills down one's spine.
Fortunately, the cane made by Helmod was the embodiment of the most advanced technology and was originally designed to reduce the burden on Shion. The golden snake emitted golden light and enveloped the study room in a golden film.
No matter how the zombies rammed into it or howled, the membrane only rippled with golden waves, remaining perfectly still.
However, this thing wasn't soundproof, and the slight vibrations and the roars of the zombies still made the people in the study room turn pale.
"The zombies should all be near the windows now. Send someone to empty the vending machines as soon as possible." Shi Yin turned to Jiang Ning and instructed, "We'll go through the door and clear out the area while we're at it. You guys follow closely behind, take the supplies, and then wait for me here."
"Wait, you're just abandoning us like this?" Song Mo's expression changed drastically: "You just..."
"when!"
Before he could finish speaking, before the rope of moral blackmail could be tied around Shi Yin, a steel knife was driven into his temple, shaving off a lock of hair.
"My knife is very accurate; it won't kill you from a hundred meters away," Shi Yin said in a chilling tone. "But Jiang Ning's knife is another story. She hasn't been using it for very long, so she's not as decisive as me. I doubt she can give you a quick death."
No one dared to speak.
"I'll take Cheng Sui out." Seeing that no one objected, Shi Yin lowered her voice and continued to instruct Jiang Ning: "After I leave, those people will continue to rebel against you. I'm keeping these people around to make an example of them. Can you do that?"
"I, I...can." Jiang Ning's face turned pale, but she knew she had no way out now; she had to go through with it.
Eliminating all unstable factors would not benefit Jiang Ning much. Since Song Mo is willing to step forward, it's better to leave him around so that Jiang Ning can establish his authority.
"Follow behind me." Shi Yin glanced at Cheng Sui, placed her left hand on her waist, and with a flash of light, her katana appeared. Shi Yin then grabbed the doorknob with her right hand and yanked it open.
"roar--"
There were also quite a few zombies outside the door. The zombies that were lying in ambush here rushed forward the moment the door opened.
But, as expected, something's not right!
Besides zombies, there are also zombie remains in this corridor. There were no zombies when she came up, and she didn't kill any zombies. Where did these zombies in the corridor come from?
Someone opened the library doors and even cleared out a bunch of zombies!
"when!"
All that was heard was a crisp sound. Shi Yin's katana had been drawn from its sheath at some point, and the slashing of the blade struck the claws of the zombies, severing the hands of five or six of them.
In the darkness, several snow-white blades of light flashed by, sometimes real, sometimes illusory, sometimes bright, sometimes dim, stirring up a strong wind wherever they passed. Meanwhile, the indicator of the power usage on the badge on Shi Yin's chest remained motionless.
"Go!" With each breath, a section of the study room was cleared, and Shi Yin rushed out first, followed closely by Cheng Sui. The zombies in the corridor immediately surged out.
At the end of the corridor, a zombie, estimated to be four or five meters tall, had its neck pressed against the ceiling, creating an oppressive atmosphere.
"This is... the manipulator?" Cheng Sui's throat was dry, and for some reason, she felt her blood boiling inside her.
Why is she a little...?
excited?
“Hmm, a fairly sophisticated manipulator. It seems it ate its own kind.” Shi Yin swung her sword again, leaving no obstacle in its path. “It’s also possible that someone fed it the crystal cores of other manipulators.”
Moreover, since arriving at this school, someone has been interfering with her investigation.
A superhuman?
Some superhumans have already sided with the zombies and the mastermind behind them.
But if they're in cahoots, why would the person interfering with them kill zombies? What's the variable this time?
Shi Yin frowned more and more as she looked at the zombie corpses left on the ground.
Shi Yin's knife moved swiftly. No matter how many low-level zombies there were, they were no different from adding a few extra pieces of pork to dumpling filling during the New Year. Once they entered the meat grinder, they were all shredded into pieces.
Moreover, as Cheng Sui dripped blood onto the windowsill, most of the zombies were drawn to the other side, leaving only the manipulator behind.
The manipulator didn't look so ferocious; its features weren't nauseatingly rotten, but rather covered with a thin layer of bluish-gray scales.
It was very tall; its neck reached the ceiling when it lowered its head, and it had to be hunched over to barely have any room to move. Its arms hung down to its knees, and its long nails scraped against the ground, making a teeth-grinding sound.
This is a mid-level manipulator that is close to advanced. It can evolve again by consuming another manipulator. As it evolves, its consciousness will gradually become clearer and it will have a thought pattern close to that of a human.
Now, the manipulator clearly understands what he needs to do, just as a wild beast understands its hunting instincts, just as a cat is born with the instinct to hunt birds.
The manipulator took a step forward, and with just one step, his two- or three-meter-long legs closed the distance between the two people at lightning speed. His bluish-gray claws rose and fell, colliding with the katana and sparks flying.
Then, it broke completely.
"As a nail clipper, I think I'm barely qualified," Shi Yin said with a smile.
The manipulator's movements froze. It seemed completely unable to understand why its claws, which had so easily cleaved its companion's head, had been sliced into pieces in just a few blows.
The armor plate fell to the ground due to the recoil from the katana, leaving shallow marks on the ground.
“From the first time onward, I will shatter your hopes in this way every time, teacher.” Shi Yin took a deep breath: “In the old world, you were unappreciated; will the new world grant your dreams?”
Answer me!
Of course, no one answered her.
There are some things that will never have an answer in any lifetime.
Shi Yin didn't know how she felt. She didn't feel any significant emotional fluctuations, and asking these questions seemed more like a routine matter.
You always have to ask, just like gossip has a beginning and an end. When you find out that two celebrities suddenly have a child, you always want to know when they got together and started having the baby.
Perhaps she should pretend to be sad, after all, this was her professional teacher, and Shi Yin had also learned extra things from this teacher in private. They were the best teacher and student, and Shi Yin could be considered half of her assistant.
The teacher is a highly accomplished professional in the field of fashion. He has organized fashion shows at Paris Fashion Week and was once sought after by major brands. After being sidelined, he disappeared from the public eye.
Once, during a reincarnation, Yin saved her, but she left behind a suicide note expressing her anger at being abandoned. After being invited by a zombie, she easily switched sides without even leaving an explanation.
That time, Shion's teacher, who had transformed into a manipulator, nearly caused the destruction of a sanctuary.
The manipulator, of course, couldn't understand it. Its evolution level was far from sufficient to allow it to understand human speech. It simply raised its long, catapult-like arms and grabbed at Shiyin with both hands.
"There is no new world in this world; it's all just a lie."
Shi Yin felt she shouldn't recall such an insignificant person; she should have just killed him. Even though the PPT she submitted after being reborn had detailed instructions from her teacher, and she still had the teacher's instructional text messages on her phone.
Shi Yin did not reply.
However, Shion felt she had no right to question her teacher, after all, she herself had wavered when she was alone.
"But it's all fake, there's no new world at all!"
