"Hey! Wait, that thing can't be eaten, throw it away!"
"Ah woo~"
The girl stood in the sunlight, wearing a cropped, tie-up T-shirt and very fitted straight-leg jeans. A few distressed holes in the jeans revealed her fair and delicate skin, making her look very sexy.
The wide-brimmed sun hat kept out the scorching sun, but it also concealed the girl's perfect face. You could only admire her delicate and pretty face beneath her long, black hair if you got very close.
The only slightly jarring thing was that she was holding a metal crowbar in one hand and a bloody arm in the other.
Nie Qingyun quickly stepped forward, snatched the arm, and threw it far away. Immediately, three or five zombies were attracted and surrounded it.
"What did I tell you yesterday? You're not allowed to eat weird things."
"Awoo~" Ignoring Nie Qingyun's accusations, Lingyuan Ellie stood on tiptoe and buried her face in the other's neck, squinting her eyes and rubbing against him.
The sandals adorned with crystal pendants tinkled softly with each step the girl took, their sound complementing her bright pink nail polish.
Of course, it wasn't just this outfit; even the girl's underwear was chosen by Nie Qingyun from a nearby clothing store according to her own preferences.
There was no other way; the hotel only had various styles of sexy lingerie, and he couldn't very well let Senior Lingyuan walk around naked on the street.
So Nie Qingyun was just indulging in a small quirk.
After a night of adjustment and instruction...
Nie Qingyun discovered that as long as she didn't use blood to stimulate Lingyuan Ellie, she wouldn't enter that highly threatening attack state.
After being drained of blood twice, he could clearly sense that Senior Sister Lingyuan had developed a certain dependence on him.
Just like now, although normal communication is impossible most of the time, I can still get her to obediently follow me.
Moreover, Lingyuan Ellie has a strong learning ability and knows how to imitate the most basic things. She can even help him kill zombies.
What? You're asking how Nie Qingyun discovered it?
This brings us to last night, when a certain older young man suddenly woke up to find a beautiful female senior holding a fruit knife, staring intently at his penis...
Nie Qingyun rubbed his dark circles, his hands hanging limply as the girl nuzzled him for a while, then expertly pulled out a tissue to wipe the drool from his neck, and pointed to the zombies wandering not far ahead:
"Senior Lingyuan, be serious. Aim for the head and hit them, understand?"
Seeing the girl's half-understanding expression, Nie Qingyun squatted down, stored the [Primordial Crystal] that had just exploded into his data space, then pulled out the baseball bat from his backpack and swung it a few times in the air at the corpse on the ground:
"Do you understand now? The protruding part is the head."
"Ah woo~"
Lingyuan Ellie responded and ran in the direction Nie Qingyun pointed.
The next second, he tripped on the steps of the pedestrian street and fell to the ground.
"Sigh!" Nie Qingyun slapped his forehead hard, then ran a few steps, grabbed the girl under her armpits, and lifted her up from the ground. While brushing the dust off her clothes, he continued to give her instructions:
"Don't keep looking at the target, pay attention to your feet, your feet, your feet. I'll say it three times because it's important."
After being released, Lingyuan Ellie finally stumbled to her target and began wildly swinging the crowbar at the zombie. It was clear that she was trying to aim at its head, but her aim was terrible. In addition, in her normal state, her strength was no different from that of an ordinary girl, or even weaker.
After struggling for several minutes, his shoulder was almost smashed raw, and the zombie finally fell silent.
Nie Qingyun watched anxiously from the side, but he couldn't make a move yet.
Lingyuan Ellie's intimidation and suppression only works on herself, meaning that no matter what she does to the zombies, ordinary zombies will not fight back.
But Nie Qingyun is different. He won't be attacked by zombies when he's with Senior Lingyuan. But if he makes an attack, the nearby zombies will swarm over.
Judging from the current situation, it is unlikely that Senior Lingyuan can dominate the battlefield. The only advantage is that it is convenient to go anywhere, and there is no need to deliberately hide from zombies anymore.
As long as you get close enough to Senior Lingyuan, you won't have any problems even if you have to walk through a dense horde of zombies.
After a quick calculation, including the dozen or so zombies he had killed that morning, he now had a total of 22 [Primal Crystals], enough to authenticate the baseball bat in his hand.
However, Nie Qingyun held back. This baseball bat, with a quality of only F, has a fixed power of 15, making it the lowest-grade item. Even if it had the ability to summon from the data space at will, it wouldn't significantly improve his current combat power.
We're currently in the early stages of the apocalypse, the most critical phase for [Primal Crystallization]. Everything needs to be carefully planned, so he intends to save everything up and allocate it reasonably according to the actual situation when he finds [Resource Deployment Points].
The most important thing right now is to collect as many Primal Crystals as possible while searching for Resource Drop Points, then take control of the radio station in the experimental building, and finally find the only daughter of the Director of the Linjiang Station Security Bureau to add another layer of security to the entire evacuation plan.
The zombie killing progress is much slower than Nie Qingyun expected, but people can always come up with a solution.
While Senior Sister Lingyuan came over to replenish her "sticky" energy, Nie Qingyun rummaged through the backpack behind her for a while and finally took out a set of pure leather neck rings with rows of decorative rivets, along with a long, thin chain.
These were all brought out by Nie Qingyun from the hotel last night. He originally intended to use them on Senior Sister Lingyuan, but since the girl is quite obedient now, these items can now be used elsewhere.
"Take this." Nie Qingyun turned around and hugged Ling Yuan Ai Li's slender waist, letting her cheek rub against his chest for a while before handing her the item in his hand:
"Remember what we talked about earlier about the head?"
"Ah woo~"
"Put this around their neck, understand?"
To make it clearer for the girl, Nie Qingyun carefully slipped the leather loop over her head and around her neck, then handed one end of the chain to Ling Yuan Ai Li:
"Do you understand? After you put it on, bring it back to me."
However, at that moment, a commotion suddenly broke out on a street corner in the distance.
Immediately afterwards, several figures came running over.
There were about seven or eight of them, and they looked quite disheveled.
But as they passed by, they all stopped in their tracks.
They stared blankly at the chain in the girl's hand, then their gaze followed the chain to the collar around Nie Qingyun's neck, and suddenly a look of astonishment appeared on their faces.
Nie Qingyun was also taken aback, then clenched her toes.
Chapter 18: The world is inherently murky, where sin and love sing together.
Not long after the apocalypse, most people still retained their original moral values, so it's easy to imagine how embarrassing it would be to be led by a girl in chains in public.
This is like when you were a kid watching "Cardcaptor Sakura" and couldn't resist sticking your penis on the screen during the opening sequence, only to be caught red-handed by your parents.
Nie Qingyun instinctively wanted to step forward to explain, but was pulled by the chain around his neck. By then, the fleeing students had already run far away, leaving only a "as expected of you" expression.
The continuous, chaotic footsteps brought him back to reality. This was the apocalypse, a world fraught with danger, and no one had the energy to deal with such trivial matters.
"Wait a minute!" Nie Qingyun called out as he loosened the belt around his neck.
He wasn't trying to explain anything further, but rather to remind the group that they were running in the wrong direction.
Following their escape route, they would inevitably end up in the East Campus complex, which happened to be the place Qin Hehuan and her group had passed through.
Because it was a large group moving together, it attracted hundreds or even thousands of zombies to chase it. So, both the inside and outside of the building were already filled with countless zombies. If these people went in now, it would be a dead end.
Nie Qingyun knew the limits of his abilities. He was neither a hero nor burdened with any sacred mission. He was well aware that he could not save everyone, but as a human being, he still wanted to help his fellow human beings to the best of his ability.
There aren't many people chasing the fleeing group right now. If they change direction now, bypass the stadium at the edge of the complex, and head directly to the innermost experimental building, they have a high chance of encountering Qin Hehuan's team.
Although Nie Qingyun harbored some prejudice against Qin Hehuan, he still highly recognized her talent as a leader. At least in that team, they could survive longer, and with good luck, it wasn't impossible for them to hold out until rescue arrived.
In these days of the apocalypse, he had seen too many lone survivors, these guys who were wandering around like headless flies, and most of them only had two outcomes.
They either end up being eaten or infected by zombies when they're at their wits' end, or they're trapped somewhere, slowly waiting to die in despair.
Because they have seen so much, many people are still willing to stay in the team even if they do not agree with Qin Hehuan's cold and cruel rules of conduct.
Seeing that it would be too late to warn them soon, Nie Qingyun snatched the chain from Ling Yuan Ai Li's hand and supported the girl's buttocks with his hand:
"Senior, wrap your legs around my waist."
"Huh?" The girl opened her big eyes and blinked a few times, clearly not understanding such a complicated instruction.
"I should have taught you a few more positions last night, in every sense of the word..."
Seeing that Senior Sister Lingyuan wouldn't cooperate, Nie Qingyun had no choice but to change from carrying her to carrying her on his back. But as soon as he turned around, he saw an unexpected scene.
The group of people stopped at the corner of the building area and then overturned all the shared bicycles in the vicinity.
These bicycles are not intended for students to use for transportation. In Linjiangtai, which is filled with high-tech atmosphere, students have more efficient and higher-quality options. These retro vehicles are mostly used to decorate the campus and highlight a certain atmosphere.
At this moment, however, they became roadblocks to prevent the zombies from advancing, and also isolated Nie Qingyun in the pedestrian street.
One of them looked back at Nie Qingyun's location before entering the complex.
In the instant their eyes met, Nie Qingyun understood a great deal from those unapology-free eyes.
These fugitives had plenty of time to hand him over to Lingyuan and Ellie, but they didn't. Clearly, they had already made their plans when they discovered him and his senior.
The simple roadblocks formed by those bicycles won't stop the zombies for long. Before long, they will use the bodies of their companions to form a new path, and the two trapped here will buy them more time.
Nie Qingyun clenched his fists involuntarily.
These refugees, completely dominated by fear, truly exemplify those old jokes and anecdotes.
They don't need to run faster than zombies, they just need to be faster than their own kind.
Perhaps in their eyes, as long as it's for survival, anything done should be forgiven.
Although Nie Qingyun understood this principle, he still suppressed certain emotions in his heart, as if he had been betrayed again.
Even though it was the height of summer, he felt as if his limbs were covered in frost.
Seemingly sensing the other party's emotional disappointment, Lingyuan Ellie remained silent for a moment, took a step forward, and suddenly reached out and hooked her arms around Nie Qingyun's neck.
Without resistance or struggle, Nie Qingyun stood quietly in place, letting the girl press his body down.
Under the glaring midday sun, countless distorted and languid figures wandered the pedestrian street. Through those constantly intersecting shadows, one could see men and women embracing, completely out of place with everything around them.
Nie Qingyun crouched down, pressing his cheek against the girl's chest. For the first time, he could clearly hear her vibrant heartbeat and the subtle rise and fall of her breath.
Through the thin gauze fabric, the softness containing countless tenderness almost engulfed him. The girl's arms rested beside Nie Qingyun's ears, shutting out all the noise.
Lingyuan Ellie's skin remained cold, but Nie Qingyun felt an unusual heat and burning sensation that spread through her skin and into the depths of his heart.
The chill that enveloped him was completely dispelled by the breeze.
Humanity's greatest enemy has always been humanity itself; history has proven this countless times.
What am I even being so dramatic about...?
A smile appeared on Nie Qingyun's lips, and all the unhappiness in his heart vanished at that moment.
He didn't need to think about these trivial questions at all. He just needed to keep his head up and move forward at all times, hold on to what was important, and make everyone who stood in his way pay the price.
After a long while, Nie Qingyun stiffly raised his arm, passing through the girl's slender waist, and hovered in the air.
An unnamed stirring in his heart compelled him to embrace the girl in front of him.
His fingers trembled a few times, but he hesitated to make any further move.
Unlike before, Nie Qingyun was very clear that this impulse had nothing to do with physical desire.
It's something deep within my soul causing trouble.
This desire was so intense that he wished he could meld the girl before him into his own body.
I've already done even more intimate things with Senior Lingyuan.
But at this moment, Nie Qingyun hesitated to embrace the other person.
A moment later, he suddenly withdrew his hand, tracing it upwards along the girl's waist until it finally grasped her two full breasts and squeezed them hard.
When he looked up again, he had his usual cheerful smile back.
He lifted the brim of Lingyuan Ellie's hat, looked down at her dazed and adorable eyes, and suddenly raised his hand to ruffle the girl's hair.
"You can be reliable sometimes, can't you?"
"Let's go. From now on, we must keep getting stronger without stopping for a moment."
"Aww!"
As he spoke, Nie Qingyun turned around gracefully and cast his gaze into the distance.
Chapter 19: Does the Cute Senior Girl Also Know How to Set a Honey Trap? (3.2k)
Unfortunately, Nie Qingyun's handsome back view didn't last more than a few seconds before the collar around his neck abruptly pulled him back.
His eyebrows twitched, and he quickly turned around, taking the chain back from the girl's hand:
"This isn't for me, it's for them."
Holding Lingyuan's hand, Nie Qingyun walked along the edge of the pedestrian street until they stopped in front of a shop that was under renovation and not yet open for business.
The shop's floor-to-ceiling glass doors were wide open, the floor was littered with piles of wood and concrete from renovations, and two workers wearing yellow hard hats were wandering aimlessly.
After confirming that there were no other zombies nearby, Nie Qingyun pulled out a baseball bat from behind his back and easily dispatched them one by one, before beginning to execute his long-planned "honey trap" scheme.
