Sickly Girl Doesn’t Die in Zombie Simulator 256p2

Chapter 256: A-Rank Huayibai? p2

The more the teacher listened, the angrier she became.

How could a mother spoil her child like this? Wasn’t this harming the child?

“Call your mother here!” The teacher slammed her phone on the desk, fuming.

Huayibai picked up the phone, looking aggrieved, and started to make a call.

“Ring, ring, ring…”
“Knock, knock, knock—”

While Huayibai was making the call, there was a knock on the office door.

“Click—”

The office door opened, and a beautiful girl with long black hair, wearing a school uniform skirt, walked to the teacher’s side, holding a stack of homework.

“Teacher, I’ve collected the homework.” The black-haired girl placed the homework on the teacher’s desk.

“Oh, good, thank you, Lin.” The teacher’s face lit up with a smile upon seeing the black-haired girl.

Compared to the academically struggling Huayibai, Lin Jiayao was much more likable.

Not only was she beautiful, but she was also the top student in the entire province, and she was always mature and polite… Most importantly, during every holiday, she would buy a lot of gifts for everyone in the school, including the cleaning staff.

She had extremely high emotional intelligence and was clearly wealthy.

In contrast, Huayibai, besides being beautiful, had nothing else going for her.

Just as the teacher was about to ask Huayibai why she hadn’t gotten through on the phone yet, a phone rang in the quiet office.

“Once dreamed of roaming the world with my sword♬” (TN: Lyrics from a popular Chinese song)

Because Lin gave gifts everywhere, and even donated a recreation building for the teachers to rest in, most teachers turned a blind eye to Lin Jiayao bringing her phone to school.

Lin Jiayao whispered “sorry”, took out her phone from her pocket, looked at the caller ID, and was stunned.

“Teacher, are you looking for me?” Lin Jiayao turned the phone around, showing the screen to the teacher. It clearly displayed a memo: “Homeroom Teacher, Ms. Li.”

“Huh?” Ms. Li was taken aback, then turned to Huayibai, her anger flaring. “Huayibai! Didn’t I ask you to call your mother?!”

“Ah…” Huayibai held the phone, looked at Lin Jiayao with a wronged expression, and said weakly, “I did call my mom…”

“What nonsense are you talking about? You clearly called…”

Ms. Li was about to scold Huayibai further, but then she met Lin Jiayao’s calm gaze and saw the birth certificate, hospital birth certificate, household registration book, and other documents that Lin Jiayao pulled from her pocket.

“I’m Huayibai’s mother. What did you want to talk about?” Lin Jiayao asked calmly.

Ms. Li: “¿”

Even the experienced Ms. Li was dumbfounded.

“Teacher, don’t let my appearance fool you. I’m almost forty, I just look young,” Lin Jiayao said calmly, “I’m attending classes to relive my high school days.”

“But, the student information…”

“I had the people from the Education Bureau handle it.” Lin Jiayao said calmly, “I just gave them an offer they couldn’t refuse.”

Ms. Li’s mouth gaped open, her gaze shifting between Lin Jiayao and Huayibai. After a long while, she finally said, “Okay… okay… then you should… discipline your daughter more, don’t let her go astray…”

“Okay, thank you, teacher.” Lin Jiayao nodded, took Huayibai’s hand, and asked, “Can we go now?”

“Y-yes…”

Lin Jiayao had encountered this kind of situation countless times and was already very experienced.

Just like this, she continued to accompany Huayibai, until the day Huayibai graduated from high school.

At the graduation ceremony, Huayibai, her chest now more developed, held Lin Jiayao’s hand and happily posed for the camera.

And Lin Jiayao had lived in this chaotic, disordered world, where reality and illusion intertwined, for eighteen years.

During these eighteen years, there were even several times when Lin Jiayao thought she truly belonged in this world, forgetting about the blood crystals, the zombies, the outside crisis, forgetting that this was a spiritual world.

Fortunately, the occasional appearance of her sister in her memories always reminded Lin Jiayao that this wasn’t the real world.

“Mom.” Huayibai lowered her head and looked at Lin Jiayao standing beside her.

“Hmm?” Lin Jiayao looked up, meeting Huayibai’s gaze.

“This is all fake, isn’t it?” Huayibai asked with a smile.

Years of schooling and compulsory education had given Huayibai’s thinking the maturity of a normal adult student. Huayibai had even managed to get into the best biology college in Yunnan Province, choosing to major in mycology.

At the same time, her more mature thinking ability and the constantly appearing anomalies around her also made the doubts in Huayibai’s heart grow stronger and stronger.

“Buzz——”

The world began to tremble violently, just like eighteen years ago, everything blurring around them.

The entire world turned into a mass of darkness, and within this darkness, only the well-developed Huayibai and the slightly thinner Lin Jiayao remained.

“Mommy…” Huayibai released Lin Jiayao’s hand, reached out, and caressed Lin Jiayao’s face, asking with a smile, “You really haven’t changed at all these years…”

“The real world isn’t like this, and no one can stay the same age forever… These are all fake memories, Mom… no, Lin Jiayao…”

“You also lied to me… Lin Jiayao, just like all the other memories…”

Huayibai shook her head, tears welling up in her eyes.

As her intelligence increased and her thinking matured, Huayibai gradually realized something was wrong…

But she wasn’t crying because Lin Jiayao had lied to her, but because she had been truly happy these past eighteen years.

She had been full of hope for every day, looking forward to every tomorrow with Lin Jiayao by her side. Precisely because of this, she couldn’t accept that it was all fake.

“Huayibai…” Lin Jiayao stood on tiptoe, pulled the trembling Huayibai into her arms, gently patted her back, and whispered, “It’s true, these memories are fake.”

“But I can promise you this, the memories are fake, but our feelings are absolutely real, whether in dreams or in reality.”

“If you believe me, believe in all these years we’ve spent together… then wake up, wake up and see the real world.”

Huayibai, buried in Lin Jiayao’s embrace, slowly raised her head, tears streaming down her face, her voice trembling. “The real… world?”

“Yes, the real world,” Lin Jiayao reached out, rubbed Huayibai’s head, and said slowly, “There, you have your little mushroom friends, a humid city you love, and you can stay by ‘Mommy’s’ side every day, living happily, every single day.”

“Mommy?” Huayibai looked confused.

“It’s also me.” Lin Jiayao nodded.

Huayibai hesitated, then asked tentatively:

“The me in the real world… when I was little…”

“What is it?” Lin Jiayao blinked.

“Did I almost starve to death because I couldn’t suckle?” Huayibai also blinked, just like Lin Jiayao.

Lin Jiayao’s mouth opened slightly, she froze, and her cheeks flushed slightly.

“No, forget about that.” Lin Jiayao said stiffly, “You don’t drink milk there.”

“Is Mommy in the real world as cute as Mommy now?” Huayibai lowered her head slightly, pressed her face against Lin Jiayao’s, and asked softly.

“There you go again…”

“I believe you, Mommy… even if it’s fake, I’ll believe you.” Huayibai suddenly interrupted Lin Jiayao.

“Even if the me in the so-called ‘real world’ doesn’t have the memories from here, I still think that the me there would consider it the happiest thing to have a mommy like this.”

“Goodbye… Mommy, see you later… I think I know how to wake up now.”

“Wait for me, Mom.”

Huayibai lowered her head and, before Lin Jiayao could react, gently kissed her cheek, then pushed her away.

“Huayibai?!”

Huayibai’s body radiated a blood-red light, making Lin Jiayao’s pupils constrict.

She could feel the simulated world rapidly collapsing.

And Huayibai’s aura was surging, as if it wanted to pierce through this spiritual world.

And Lin Jiayao’s body also felt a strong repulsive force, even as she tried to run towards Huayibai.

“Boom—”

Lin Jiayao’s body was torn apart by a tremendous force, and with a burst of intense pain, her consciousness was ejected from this world.

In a daze, she seemed to hear several illusory voices in her mind.

Boss, this mushroom has grown bigger again.

Boss, this mushroom has cracked open.

Boss, are you okay? Time is running out.

Boss, it’s time to push…

Boss, I’ve thought about it, let’s have the eyeball push. If it pushes wrong, you can just hit it.

[Extracting: 0.2]

“Buzz—”

Before Lin Jiayao could even open her eyes, with a violent buzzing in her brain, she felt her consciousness being transferred several times before finally returning to a relatively weak body.

“Huh—”

Lin Jiayao gasped like a drowning person, opened her eyes wide, and saw her sister in front of her.

“Huayibai?!”

She quickly turned her head, but the space beside her was empty. Huayibai was gone.

Her sister, who had been holding Lin Jiayao and staying by her side, finally broke down after seeing Lin Jiayao open her eyes, unable to hold back her tears any longer.

“Yao… woo… Huayibai suddenly shattered just now… I thought you too… you too…”

Lin Xiwan’s emotions had been on the verge of collapse just now. She had thought that she would lose both her sister and Huayibai at the same time.

She even began to hate herself for letting her sister follow her heart before, regretting not forcibly keeping her sister by her side, even if it was against her will, and not letting her do dangerous things.

“Sister… I’m okay… Sister… Huayibai…” Lin Jiayao’s emotions were also very unstable at this time. She hugged her sister tightly, her words incoherent.

At the same time, she quickly opened the system interface and looked at the only Blood Crystal placed in the Item Storage Box.

The spore on the Blood Crystal was still there…

Right, the mycelium clone, the mycelium clone…

Lin Jiayao still had a small mycelium clone left inside the Eyeball Cube, used to communicate with the Blue Serpent.

She quickly controlled the flesh and blood clone and began to devour the Eyeball Cube’s flesh and blood recklessly, her body rapidly taking shape.

She had to get to Huayibai’s side quickly…
