Yan Ze staggered and fell. Li Chen rushed over to check on him and found that Yan Ze's back had been scratched by a zombie.
"Boss, he was scratched by a zombie and there's no hope for him," Qiu Yang said.
It is a well-known fact that anyone scratched by a zombie will become infected and turn into a zombie.
Li Chen didn't want to give up on Yan Ze just like that; he was his only family in the world.
"Go get a rope. If he becomes a complete zombie, I will kill him myself," Li Chen said to Qiu Yang.
...
Xu Nian ran out of the residential area, avoiding the wandering zombies, and walked cautiously with a kitchen knife in her hand.
"Host, host, please respond if you hear me." Yuanbao's voice rang in his mind.
"Yuanbao, where are you?" Xu Nian asked in surprise. Yuanbao hadn't come looking for her for so many days, and she thought it was lost!
"Waaaaah! Host, I'm so miserable! As soon as I arrived in this world, I found myself in a pigsty. I finally managed to escape, but there were zombies everywhere outside. If I hadn't evolved, I would have been eaten to the bone." Yuanbao tearfully recounted his tragic experience.
"You've worked hard, Yuanbao," Xu Nian comforted him as usual.
"Waaaah! Host, don't move, I'll come find you right away and give you a surprise." Yuanbao stopped crying and said mysteriously.
"Okay, Yuanbao, come over here quickly!" Xu Nian said, observing the surroundings.
After waiting for a short while, Xu Nian heard a sound like the earth shaking. The zombies wandering the streets were all attracted by the sound and looked around blankly.
The sound of footsteps approached from afar, and what came into view was a huge gold ingot. Xu Nian looked up and estimated that it was as tall as a building.
"Yuanbao?" Xu Nian couldn't believe it. Her little chubby pig had grown into a big chubby pig?
"It's me, host. How about that? Surprised?" Yuanbao wanted to spin around and show off like before, but he got stuck between two buildings halfway through and had to give up awkwardly.
"You're just scared." Xu Nian sighed, thinking, "How many people would want to kill and eat such a huge ingot in this apocalypse?"
"Don't worry, host, watch me." Yuanbao said, shaking its body, and then, like a deflated balloon, it suddenly shrank.
"You can enlarge it and shrink it?" Xu Nian exclaimed in surprise as she picked up Yuanbao.
"Yes, host." Yuanbao proudly boasted and was waiting for Xu Nian's praise!
"Then grow bigger quickly, let's run away." Xu Nian pinched Yuanbao's ear and pointed to the zombies surrounding them.
Yuanbao immediately jumped to the ground and grew to a size that Xu Nian could just ride: "Host, get on quickly."
Xu Nian climbed onto Yuanbao's back and grabbed its flapping ears. "Alright, let's go."
"Alright, host." Yuanbao took off running, nimbly avoiding the zombies on the road, and only stopped when it reached a safe place.
"Host, are you hungry? I've collected a lot of food." As soon as Yuanbao finished speaking, a pile of instant noodles, chocolate cookies, and other similar items fell down in front of Xu Nian.
Xu Nian wasn't hungry right now, so she told Yuanbao to put the food away. She patted Yuanbao's head approvingly and said, "Yuanbao has really grown up. He even knows to prepare food for me."
“This isn’t the apocalypse. I was worried that the host wouldn’t have anything to eat, so I collected quite a lot.” Yuanbao’s thoughtful actions made Xu Nian want to kiss it.
"Yuanbao, how much food have you collected? Do you have any clean clothes?" Xu Nian's eyes lit up.
“Yes, I have collected all the daily necessities that the host needs. I went to several supermarkets, and the food in the space is enough for the host to live a life free from worries about food and clothing.” Yuanbao took out the clothes in the space and let Xu Nian choose for herself.
Wearing a black bodysuit, black sweatpants, a jacket, and a pair of flat Doc Martens, Xu Nian stretched her limbs after changing her clothes and felt pretty good.
"Host, how's your mission going?" Yuanbao lay on the side watching Xu Nian throw punches and kicks.
Xu Nian thought about her own experience; Yan Ze had been clinging to her like he had a serious illness. "Yuanbao, who are the two male protagonists in this world?"
Yuanbao didn't think much of it and, unaware of Xu Nian's ordeal, immediately started investigating for her. "Host, the two male protagonists in this world are twin brothers. The older brother is Yan Ze, and the younger brother is Li Chen."
"Yuanbao, is Yan Ze still alive?" Xu Nian had a headache, and at the same time she realized something: she really was strange; none of the male leads she had met were normal.
What pains Xu Nian even more is that there are two male protagonists in this world, and they are twins. This is going to kill her!
"Host, Yan Ze is still alive." Yuanbao's reply gave Xu Nian a sense of "I knew it."
“Yuanbao, I met the male lead as soon as I came to this world, and I even tricked him today. Now my mission in this world is in jeopardy.” Xu Nian could already see the tumultuous life she would lead in the future.
"Host, what do you plan to do?" Yuanbao scratched its head, it hadn't expected such a huge change to happen in just over ten days.
"The mission must continue. Also, help me contact the main system and tell them that his male lead is not right and I want to file a complaint!" Xu Nian really wanted to wipe away her bitter tears.
"Host, the main system says the male lead is fine," Yuanbao said, looking at Xu Nian with difficulty.
"The male lead is morally corrupt, yet he still insists the male lead is innocent. Let him go and see for himself what the male lead has done!" Xu Nian sneered. She didn't believe the male lead was innocent.
Yuanbao took a long time to say to Xu Nian: "Host, the main system says it can compensate you, and your mission has changed."
"What is he willing to compensate me for? What has my mission become?" Xu Nian had a bad feeling.
"The main system is willing to compensate the host with 10,000 points. At the same time, your task has changed to helping this small world upgrade successfully, and the reward is 1 million points." After Yuanbao finished speaking, he secretly clicked his tongue. This reward was unprecedentedly generous.
"Pfft! Asking me to help upgrade a small world? Is he kidding me? That's giving me way too much credit." Xu Nian didn't understand how a small world could be upgraded. Was this task even possible for a human?
"Host, because your mission has changed, you now have three one-time auxiliary items to choose from." Yuanbao showed Xu Nian the auxiliary item panel, which was filled with a dazzling array of items.
"S-level mental strength, scientific research prodigy, portable laboratory." As soon as Xu Nian finished reading, the auxiliary props were confirmed and distributed.
"Host, your mission this time is very difficult. You'd better find some help," Yuanbao said worriedly.
"So what's going on with the small world upgrade?" Xu Nian certainly wanted to get that million points. As long as she could complete this task, she would be one step closer to returning.
"This small world is still an ordinary small world. The apocalyptic zombies are part of its evolution. As long as it successfully survives this process and all humans evolve into superhumans to defeat the zombies, it will have completed its advancement," Yuanbao explained to Xu Nian.
"Evolve them all into superhumans? And kill all the zombies?" Xu Nian frowned; this task would take longer than she had expected.
Having stayed in this world for so long, she was bound to encounter the two male leads, Yan Ze and Li Chen, sooner or later. Thinking of the 10,000 points that the main system had given her as compensation, Xu Nian was filled with black lines.
No way! No way! It can't really be what she thinks!
