"Host, the main system also says you can't kill any of the male leads." Yuanbao quickly added this.
"Then what if I make them commit suicide?" Xu Nian sneered.
"No, the main system forbids the host from killing the male lead in any form, otherwise points will be deducted." Yuanbao was really afraid that Xu Nian would actually do that, and she would be the one to suffer in the end.
"Yuanbao, is this male lead really not the son of your main system?" Xu Nian asked suspiciously, otherwise why would she protect the male lead like this?
"Host, the main system is still single and has no son."
"Oh! A lifelong single dog."
"Host, don't talk nonsense. The main system will be furious if it sees this."
"Fine, I won't say." Xu Nian pouted. She didn't have a penchant for badmouthing people; she just liked to gossip and then feel like complaining.
Alright, I should think about what to do about my own task!
"Yuanbao, in the original story, didn't Yan Ze and Li Chen defeat the zombies and end the apocalypse?" Xu Nian pondered.
"No, in the original story, the two male protagonists created a base to shelter people who had escaped the apocalypse, and relied on this base to help everyone gain a foothold in the apocalypse."
Later, as their superpowers grew stronger, they began to organize and lead humanity in a counterattack against the zombies. However, the number of zombies was too great, and manpower was limited. They fought the zombies for ten years, but all they managed was to ensure that humanity survived in this world.
"If the two male protagonists die and a new male protagonist is not born in this world, then humanity will become extinct, and the small world will completely fail to upgrade." Yuanbao now understood why Xu Nian had received this mission; the small world must have sent a distress call to the Quick Transmigration Bureau.
"If the small world can fail to upgrade, then why does it still want to upgrade?" What really angered Xu Nian was that the small world's upgrade and the turning of humans into zombies was just a process, and just because the small world wanted to upgrade, so many lives were wasted.
“Host, just as the moon waxes and wanes, so too does a small world, once it reaches a certain point of proliferation, either upgrade or be destroyed by itself.” Yuanbao couldn’t be too explicit with Xu Nian, so he could only speak vaguely.
"Understood. It's the law of nature, the survival of the fittest." Xu Nian suppressed her emotions and began to think about how to complete her mission.
The three auxiliary abilities he gained were S-level mental strength, scientific research prodigy, and a portable laboratory.
These three abilities are easy to understand. Mental strength is her means of survival, while scientific research prodigy and portable laboratory are key to her missions.
Xu Nian wanted to try out her scientific research prodigy and portable laboratory, so she used her mental power to capture a zombie and studied it in her portable laboratory for a long time, eventually producing a few serums.
Looking at the five dark blue test tubes in her hand, Xu Nian thought it would be good to have someone test the effects.
"Yuanbao, let's go." Xu Nian made Yuanbao grow bigger and carry her towards the town.
The town is littered with scattered zombies, and you won't encounter anyone if you try to find them intentionally.
With Yuanbao leading the search, there was no rush.
"Host, there are people ahead." Yuanbao slowed down and tiptoed forward.
After turning a corner, Yuanbao squatted in the corner and looked out, while Xu Nian leaned over Yuanbao's head to look over as well.
There was a child, about ten years old, huddled on a awning, with about a dozen zombies below. The child was very scared, but he dared not cry, for fear of attracting more zombies.
The awning was swaying precariously from being squeezed and bumped by a dozen or so zombies, and looked like it could collapse at any moment.
“Host, look at that building.” Yuanbao’s paw pointed to a building behind the awning.
Xu Nian looked up and saw that the windows on the third floor of the building were wide open, and several men were standing there pointing at the children and laughing.
Using her spiritual power to look into the past, Xu Nian saw a rope tied around a child's waist.
Xu Nian gritted her teeth, flames of anger gathering in her eyes. This child had been deliberately placed on the awning by these people.
They are utterly depraved; what do they consider human life to be?
Is it a prop for a game? Or a tool for amusement?
Xu Nian condensed her spiritual energy into needles and stabbed them into the heads of the men.
They didn't even have time to scream before collapsing to the ground, limp and lifeless.
One of them fell down, attracting all the dozen or so zombies under the awning.
Xu Nian concentrated her spiritual power into a large hand, covered the child's mouth, and pulled him down from the awning.
"Don't be afraid, you're safe now," Xu Nian whispered softly.
The child was a boy. He looked at her without saying a word, his lips pressed tightly together as he watched her warily.
Xu Nian understood that he wouldn't believe her at this moment, so she patted Yuanbao and said, "Yuanbao, give him a pack of biscuits and a bottle of water."
A bag of cookies and a bottle of water fell into the little boy's arms. He stared blankly as he picked up the cookies and began to swallow hard.
"Eat up! Whether I'm a good person or a bad person, the most important thing is that you're full." The little boy took Xu Nian's words to heart.
He finished the cookies and drank the whole bottle of water, then silently looked at Xu Nian.
"Yuanbao, let's go see if there's anyone else." Xu Nian was referring to the building they had just visited, but now it was already teeming with twenty or thirty zombies.
Xu Nian used her mental power to clear a path, smashing the brains of these zombies.
The sight of zombies on the ground made the little boy's eyes widen, and the way he looked at Xu Nian changed.
He also wanted to be as capable as her, so that he could protect his mother.
As Xu Nian climbed to the third floor, she was about to knock on the door when the little boy grabbed her hand and said, "There are five more of them, and they have weapons."
Upon hearing this, Xu Nian still knocked on the door, but the needle formed from her spiritual energy began to gather its strength and prepare to be released.
A woman opened the door for Xu Nian. She silently opened the door and let Xu Nian bring the little boy inside.
As soon as the door slammed shut, five men rushed out, wielding knives and clubs, and attacked Xu Nian.
Xu Nian's eyes turned cold, and she activated the needles formed by her spiritual power. Just like the people by the window, these five people died silently.
"Are they dead?" the little boy asked, his hands trembling.
"Dead." Xu Nian's mental attack hit the other party's head; even if he didn't die, he would be an idiot.
"It's good that she's dead, it's good that she's dead," the silent woman said, tears streaming down her face.
Seeing her unusual mental state, Xu Nian did not offer any words of comfort. Instead, she said to the little boy, "How many people are here? Tell everyone to come out and get some food."
"There are more than twenty children and women together. Sister, do you have enough food?" The little boy was worried that if Xu Nian gave the food to them, what would she do?
"It's okay, I can go find more food." Xu Nian patted the little boy's head encouragingly.
While the little boy went to call someone, Xu Nian asked Yuanbao to put the food in the living room.
Seeing that Xu Nian wanted to leave, the woman who had opened the door for her stopped her and said, "Can I know why you are so powerful?"
"I have superpowers. I used psychic powers just now." Xu Nian didn't intend to hide this fact. After all, she needed to spread the word so that she could attract the people she wanted to attract.
