Chapter 256 The Former Female Protagonist of the Apocalypse Who Became Cannon Fodder (Part Two) Liu Yiyi...
Liu Yiyi once heard her elders tell old stories. They said that when they were young, resources were scarce, and seven or eight families lived on one floor. If someone added two extra drops of sesame oil when making noodles, the aroma could be smelled throughout half the building.
At that time, Liu Yiyi thought that her elders were exaggerating, but now she completely believed it. She hadn't eaten a proper meal for more than half a month, and she could clearly smell the outside smells through the bathroom door.
Perhaps it was due to unscientific means, but even though she didn't hear the sound of a fire being started, Liu Yiyi still smelled the unique aroma of hot food.
It has the unique aroma of meat coated in batter and deep-fried, mixed with a hint of sweet and sour, which is the authentic taste of Guo Bao Rou (sweet and sour pork).
The other flavor is even richer and more intense, with the aroma of meat accompanied by the unique spiciness of pepper. It is a smooth and mellow flavor that comes from stewing. Liu Yiyi guessed it was tripe soup.
Liu Yiyi couldn't help but take a deep breath, faintly smelling the aroma of wheat mixed in with the unique freshness of vegetables, which made her mouth water and swallow repeatedly.
But I don't know this flying lady well. She rescued me and took me to a safe place. How can I shamelessly ask her for a free meal?
This isn't the pre-apocalyptic world, where you can get three dishes and a soup for a hundred dollars at a roadside night market, and you can easily pay back whoever you mooch a meal from.
With my current fighting strength, let alone a three-course meal and a soup, I can't even get a bite of compressed biscuits.
Aside from picking up unwanted, inconvenient, and not filling snacks from supermarkets, she seems unable to do anything else.
Liu Yiyi waited a while longer, but still didn't hear any sounds of eating outside. However, the aroma of sweet and sour pork and tripe soup kept wafting into her nose.
She almost couldn't help but shout out to remind them that the sweet and sour pork would get cold if they didn't eat it soon, but that would make her seem too greedy. She swallowed again, feeling like she was about to burst with saliva and almost cry from craving.
Lin You had no idea that the seemingly delicate girl had so many thoughts running through her mind. After cleaning the house, she knocked on the bathroom door and coaxed, "It's time to come out. If you soak in the water any longer, your skin will get wrinkled. If you want to take a bath, I'll run the water for you tomorrow, okay?"
Liu Yiyi was taken aback by the doting tone and glanced hesitantly at the bathroom door. Was this an invitation to dinner?
She intended to exchange a few polite words, but her hands had already tidied herself up quickly, putting on a clean bathrobe and wrapping all her hair in a towel. By the time she came to her senses, she was already sitting at the dining table, her hands already holding chopsticks.
Sometimes, it can be embarrassing to have your limbs react faster than your brain.
Seeing that Lin You had clearly set out two sets of bowls and chopsticks, Liu Yiyi quickly and observantly served soup to both of them, smiling ingratiatingly:
"Hey sis, if there's anything you need me to do, just let me know. Don't worry, I might not be good at other things, but I'll definitely be obedient!"
Lin You had just found her second sister and was in the best mood. Seeing her obedient and well-behaved appearance, but with her eyes darting greedily towards the table, she couldn't help but think of herself when she first transmigrated.
She couldn't say anything polite, so she quickly urged Liu Yiyi to eat. These were all kinds of delicacies she had previously hoarded in the world.
I used to have too much stuff, and most of it was stored in my spatial storage. Now that it's bound to my spatial storage, I can take it out freely during missions.
Liu Yiyi waited obediently until Lin You picked up her chopsticks before starting to eat. She ate very politely but quickly. After eating two pieces of sweet and sour pork to satisfy her craving, she only drank the soup and ate steamed dumplings.
Lin You wasn't eating much and was staring at her, so Liu Yiyi quickly explained, "I usually only need two biscuits a day, I don't need to eat so many."
Lin You felt a little sorry for them. Of all her mission targets, only Chu Nanfeng and Heng Mo lived a hard life, but they weren't so poor that they couldn't afford to eat.
She immediately picked up two more pieces of sweet and sour pork for Liu Yiyi and added half a bowl of soup to her bowl, saying, "No rush, eat slowly."
Seeing that Lin You wasn't just being polite, Liu Yiyi shoveled the meat into her mouth, finished eating, and then sat obediently, waiting for Lin You to speak.
There's no such thing as a free lunch. This woman is so amazing; she saved me and even provided me with a meal. I should probably pay a price for this too.
"Although I don't have any superpowers, I can do housework, collect supplies, and chat with people. I'm very obedient. Just tell me what you want me to do."
Liu Yiyi considered many possible answers, from her exceptional talent and the older sister's desire to take her as a disciple, to her beauty and the older sister's wish for her to be her sister-in-law, and so on.
The only thing I never imagined was that this woman, who flew on a sword with an ethereal and otherworldly air, even more so than the cultivators in TV dramas, was actually a... system?!
[Ding! The "Save the Cannon Fodder" system is applying for a binding contract. Please confirm!]
When the mechanical system voice sounded, Liu Yiyi was still in a daze. After a while, she looked at Lin You and said hesitantly, "Sister, are you going to a world of cultivation or something, and then you got lost and went to the wrong place? Your style doesn't really suit the post-apocalyptic environment."
Despite her complaints, Liu Yiyi's fingers were quick to click the confirm button. This was definitely a golden opportunity, a cultivation-style system. At the very least, her life was safe.
"Is it possible that I am a quick transmigration system? I didn't get lost. I just came from a mission in the cultivation world and didn't have time to change my appearance."
Lin You, of course, wouldn't admit that she did it to look cool. After snapping her fingers, she changed into a modern outfit.
Liu Yiyi's eyes immediately lit up as she asked, "Is this snap-of-fingers-to-change-clothes a special skill in the cultivation world?"
Lin You was speechless. This girl was really bold and had a really unique way of thinking. "This is a special skill of the system: one-click outfit change."
Taking advantage of Liu Yiyi's ignorance, she made up a couple of nonsensical statements in a serious manner, fooled the silly girl, and then sent her to the bedroom to rest.
Because a mental link had been established between the two, Liu Yiyi could sense Lin You's presence and was no longer worried about being abandoned by him.
After giving Lin You a warm hug, she excitedly skipped and hopped into the bedroom. Lin You saw her excitedly rolling around on the bed from outside the door.
Well, lively kids are always easier to coax than those who are more emotional. After Liu Yiyi fell asleep, Lin You finally had time to check the missions and world storylines.
The task itself isn't difficult; there's only one requirement: to equip the target, Liu Yiyi, with the skills to survive in this world.
Lin You was furious at the world's plot:
Liu Yiyi was originally a spoiled girl who grew up in the United States. When the apocalypse came, she was studying at a university in another city. Because her family was well-off and had plenty of living expenses, she rented a house near the university.
The zombie outbreak occurred on a weekend, which allowed her to escape the dense hordes of zombies on campus. Thanks to the food she had stored in her rented room, she managed to survive the most chaotic first few days.
The day after tomorrow, the rented house will be without water and electricity, and the noise in the neighborhood will become less and less. Liu Yiyi, who is running out of food, finally sneaks out to look for food.
By being extremely cautious, she managed to survive for another ten days or so before being rescued by a group of supernatural beings called Long Yuan when she was in danger of attracting a horde of zombies.
Then, by chance, he cut his hand, and the blood dripped onto Liu Yiyi's ancestral jade pendant, activating his cheat mode and successfully obtaining the spiritual spring.
This spiritual spring can not only treat external and internal injuries and various diseases, but it can even cure zombie viruses. Liu Yiyi used this to pretend to have healing abilities and successfully blended into the team.
Normally, she was responsible for cooking for everyone, handling logistics, and helping to treat the wounded. With the protection of the other members of Longyuan, she hadn't suffered much hardship in this apocalypse.
Long Yu, the captain of Longyuan, was handsome and dashing, and very considerate to Liu Yiyi. The two quickly became a couple.
With the help of Liu Yiyi's spiritual spring water, Long Yu's superpower level increased, and the Longyuan team expanded further and further, eventually establishing a base. Longyuan became the uncrowned king, and Liu Yiyi became his chosen wife.
The story should have ended here, but then a bug appeared in the world, and a transmigrator named Xiao Sa Ying appeared.
This time traveler fell for the devoted and affectionate Long Yu, feeling that a delicate and frail woman like Liu Yiyi was not good enough for him. She was just lucky to have a cheat code, and she was not worthy of the uncrowned king Long Yu's lifelong devotion to her.
The transmigrator, relying on his knowledge of the plot, pretended to have precognitive abilities and joined the Dragon Abyss team ahead of time, then deliberately delayed the team's rescue time.
After Liu Yiyi died in the mouth of a zombie, she took the jade pendant and, following Liu Yiyi's example, pretended to have the dual superpowers of precognition and healing, eventually becoming a couple with Long Yu.
Lin You frowned throughout the entire plot, but eventually she tossed it aside and ignored it. Anyway, she had already saved the little girl, and as for the transmigrated woman, she could go ahead and flirt with whoever she wanted.
As for whether it will cause Liu Yiyi to miss out on her true love? Haha, don't be ridiculous. All she saw from beginning to end was the transaction details.
Liu Yiyi provides Long Yu with spiritual springs that enhance his supernatural abilities, which in turn ensures the team's survival rate, while Long Yu takes care of her daily life and provides her with emotional support.
Otherwise, how could he later fall deeply in love with that time-traveling woman? Perhaps he can fall in love with whoever can help him level up.
Putting the annoying things out of her mind, Lin You glanced at the little girl who was sleeping soundly, and after confirming that she wouldn't wake up anytime soon, she began cleaning their current residence.
Liu Yiyi had excellent grades and was admitted to a key university in a first-tier city. The building Lin You chose was the tallest residential building in the view.
It was a sixty-story building with one apartment per floor, but unfortunately, when Lin You scanned the entire building with his divine sense, there was no one alive in the whole building.
There were only some zombies; it was unclear whether the living had left or had all become food for the zombies.
Lin You then cleared three more floors, first freezing the zombies into ice blocks, then throwing them out the window to smash them to pieces—a very simple and efficient method.
As for whether her throwing things from a high place will hit other zombies, that's just bad luck for those zombies.
There's no need to worry about people being hit; there are hardly any living people left in their neighborhood.
In times of advanced technology, a sixty-story building is a high-end choice, but in the post-apocalyptic world, detached houses and courtyards are still more popular.
After all, even a superhuman wouldn't want to be so idle as to climb sixty floors every day to go out and come home.
