Chapter 13
The system asked resentfully, "Are you being polite? Why am I a stone man in your dream? Although I appear majestic, is there something wrong with my species?"
"I haven't asked you yet, why did I faint?" Xu Zhou asked back, "And how did you know my dream?"
"I was dragged down by you. If you fainted, you fainted, but why did you take me with you?" The system was also puzzled. More importantly, it was trapped in the continued daydream and could not leave. It was forced to watch those illogical dreams.
"Nonsense," Xu Zhou retorted. She felt a crackling sound of electricity before she fainted, and then her ears started ringing and she fainted. "Didn't you shock me and that's why I fainted?"
The system cried out in injustice: "What are you talking about? Our system rules clearly stipulate that allies cannot be harmed during missions. I am an excellent system representative and would never do such bad things. You can't say such nonsense."
The system continued, "Suppose, hypothetically, if I had electrocuted you, why would I have put myself into hibernation?"
Too.
But she did feel the current—
After discussing for a long time, Xu Zhou and the system still couldn't come to a conclusion. They both paused their argument and looked at Xun Chun, who was sitting upright beside them. Xun Chun slowly turned her head, saying nothing, just looking at Xu Zhou, as if waiting for her next words.
"Do you think the problem is with Xunchun?"
"It's not impossible that he has some of my energy remaining in him." The system reasonably speculated, "Perhaps he used the energy to trigger a chain reaction."
"No, how could he have your energy? Did he get it from a reward mission?"
"Maybe...?" the system left a question.
It wasn't originally planned to land on Earth, and the reward mission wasn't meant to match the apocalyptic world, so many of its functions were limited, and it couldn't even detect where the remaining energy in Xunchun came from. But generally speaking, reward missions didn't involve giving energy.
But how would a zombie use its energy? Perhaps he didn't even know he had it.
The system finally concluded that the problem was not with the energy, but with changes in the reward task.
Thinking of this, it began to look through the task electronic screen, and the result showed that garbled data was being recovered.
Although his mind was full of brainstorming, Xu Zhou smiled slightly in reality.
She woke up in the back seat of the SUV, the door open and with footprints on it. It must have been Xunchun who had moved her after she fainted, and she had kicked the door in the process.
She didn't know what happened after she fainted. Both she and the system were confused and didn't know anything. At one point, they even thought it was the other party who did it. The only one who knew what happened was Xunchun, but he spoke zombie language that sounded like a heavenly book. She couldn't understand it, and asking him was useless.
Time is money, which means she wasted some precious money.
regret.
It doesn’t matter, if one problem is not solved, there is still another one.
The two can even form a pair.
Xu Zhou remained calm and began to worry about the woman who drove away.
What is a woman's identity, and what does her words mean?
Xu Zhou recalled what the woman said and extracted key information from it.
I haven't experienced the end of the world.
Too well protected.
new sequence.
Oh, it's not one problem, but three in one.
Xu Zhou sat on the top of his head, thinking that there were already unresolved problems, so it wouldn't be a problem if there were three more. They could even play mahjong together.
System: ...Its alliance is really stable and reliable.
Breaking down the woman's words reveals three aspects worth considering. The fact that she could mention these three aspects suggests she must have experienced or encountered them before, which is why they are subconsciously reflected in her thinking and discourse system.
First, I have never experienced the end of the world.
It is easy to understand from the literal meaning. It has been four years since the doomsday. People like Xu Zhou have not experienced the doomsday, so their understanding of the doomsday remains superficial and shallow, and they retain the thoughts of the old calendar era. Even if they try to hide it, it will be discovered after a lot of exposure.
So what kind of situation would we not experience the end of the world?
"System, are there any other people like you here?"
"No." The system contacted the main system as soon as it woke up, and checked whether there were any signal waves from other systems on the earth, but found nothing.
Excluding her situation, what other possibilities could there be? Xu Zhou made a bold guess.
If the system could come to Earth, what about life on other planets? Or perhaps people from other eras on Earth? It sounded unrealistic and absurd, but the system's presence allowed her to keep this speculation alive. The woman's tone wasn't a casual joke; she'd truly considered the possibility, which was why she asked Xu Zhou if this was the case.
Therefore, she must have met "someone" who also knew nothing about the end of the world.
Second, it is too well protected.
That is, from the apocalypse until now, this person has been well protected by those around him and has not truly experienced the cruelty of the apocalypse, such as facing zombies or human nature, and still lives in an ivory tower. There is no doubt about this.
Finally, the new sequence.
It's an organization. The woman asked her to stay away from the New Sequence three times, which means that in her eyes, the New Sequence is bad and this organization is likely doing something that is not common sense and unacceptable. So what do the first two aspects of the woman's speculation represent?
Xu Zhou sighed deeply, feeling a little uncomfortable.
She thought of it.
"The New Sequence encountered these two types of people and did bad things to them." The system reasoned based on her words.
"Yes, and she wasn't just giving a casual reminder, she was giving a serious warning. This shows that what the New Sequence did was very cruel."
Of course, there is another possibility that the woman is simply curious about her origins, guessing that she is related to the first two aspects, and finally reminding her that the new sequence is dangerous and asking her to stay away.
However, no matter which case it is, it means that the new sequence is dangerous.
All of this is based on the premise that women are good people.
System: "Do you think she is a good person?"
“…”
"Yes." In the end, Xu Zhou still stuck to his first impression.
Seriously speaking, Xu Zhou still feels very comfortable when getting along with women.
"So, the new sequence is dangerous."
Xu Zhou thought of the card and took out the card she carried with her.
After she parted ways with them at the fork in the road, she had thrown the card away. But as they drove, she kept thinking about it, so she backed up and retrieved it from the bushes. She felt the card was useful, so she kept it with her. Even if she didn't use it, a card wouldn't take up much space.
The card was identical on both sides, making it impossible to tell the front from the back. The black background was glossy, and the red logo was a silhouette of a vertical pupil, surrounded by distorted lines that made it impossible to discern what it represented.
new sequence.
Xu Zhou muttered the name, his eyes fixed on the red sign.
"It's letters." After a while, the system said, "Those lines represent the letters of the organization's name."
After hearing what the system said, Xu Zhou began to reverse the process based on the answer. After matching them, he found that the lines were indeed the letters of the organization's name. They were arranged counterclockwise around the vertical pupil from the top.
Vertical pupil, counterclockwise, new, sequence.
Xu Zhou, who had scored full marks in reading comprehension in the exam, began to imagine.
It seems to have an ambitious meaning.
Xu Zhou smacked her lips: "System, can you guarantee that I won't die?" She felt that her future was a little risky.
"As long as you don't bump into anyone." The system said firmly.
"Forget it, it's okay to die." Xu Zhou suddenly felt that it was not unacceptable to him. After all, humans are really magical creatures and can be found everywhere.
I thought about it a lot, but there was very little useful information, and a lot of unresolved problems.
"It would be great if Xunchun could wake up soon." This way she would know what happened when she fainted just now, and a problem would be solved.
But there’s no point thinking about these things now, the most important thing is to hurry on.
After saying this, Xu Zhou got up and went to the driver's seat without noticing that Xunchun's eyes lit up next to him.
An unexpected fainting accident along the way cost them a lot of time, and by the time they set off again, it was already three in the afternoon. With the system's navigation and assisted driving, the off-road vehicle, which had been in storage for four years, started up again and made its proud return to the world.
Xunchun is still the same, always liking the world outside the window, and this time he tries to stick his whole body out of the window.
"Zombie hobbies are still too unique." Xu Zhou shook her head. She didn't understand.
"Perhaps those four trampoline zombies can understand." The system continued.
Xu Zhou nodded in agreement.
The off-road vehicle roamed around the city, and wherever it went, there were dilapidated buildings. The newly born mutant plants did not like tall buildings. The glass curtain walls gleamed in the sun, smooth and empty.
“Why are there no mutant plants here?”
"Is it possible that the mutant plants cannot grow that tall?" That's several hundred meters high. Even mutant plants can't grow that fast even if they take acceleration drugs.
"Oh, then they really need to work hard. It's the end of the world, they have to work hard."
Lying on the ground, lazily basking in the sun, the mutant plant being scolded:?
What?
Plants are also afraid of heights, right?
"Drive quickly, the next destination is Loujiang Town." The system rejected Xu Zhou's nonsense and played a song called "Don't fly to the garden with a paintbrush to paint when you are driving." The song is as its name suggests. Although it didn't understand why such a long song title was illogical, it thought the meaning was good.
The system kindly told Xu Zhou the title of the song.
Xu Zhou sped up and answered smoothly, "I know. This song is about caring for people with disabilities."
system:?
It took back what it had just said.
This song is simply perfect.
After exiting the highway, Xu Zhou turned left, preparing to leave the city. At her current rate, she would reach Loujiang Town tomorrow afternoon. She would finally be able to see her parents. The longing she felt for them only grew stronger as time went by, and she wished she could grow wings and fly back.
The off-road vehicle gradually approached the bend.
Xu Zhou turned on the turn signal very ceremoniously.
Ten meters.
Five meters.
Three meters.
Suddenly, a figure rushed out.
"Sizzle—"
The tires scraped across the ground with a sharp sound. Xu Zhou's eyes flashed, and she swerved the steering wheel to avoid the collision. The rear of the car drifted wildly, avoiding the figure in the middle and coming to a stop. The accident was so sudden that Xunchun, in the passenger seat, was almost thrown out. When the SUV stopped, he hurriedly got in.
Xu Zhou patted Xunchun to comfort her while looking at the figure that rushed out.
He is a tightly wrapped person.
I don’t know him, but he looks familiar.
He ran over, clinging to the car window, begging for help: "Please save my teammates, they are surrounded by zombies."
