Chapter One Hundred and Fifty: Sisters Alone
“Let’s eat,” Lin Jiayao said without much thought.
The training ground had about 30 minutes left to complete the handstand running training. This time was perfect for eating and thinking about the next training content.
If she took a bath first… It seemed that every time she took a bath, her sister could always come up with something, and there was a possibility of delaying training and rest time.
Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, Lin Jiayao still felt that it was better to eat first and then let her sister take her to bathe.
“Why is Huayibai asleep?” Lin Xiwan noticed Huayibai lying on Lin Jiayao and asked curiously, “Is she tired from playing? I’ll carry her.”
Although Huayibai was very light, if she kept lying on her frail sister like this, it might make her sister uncomfortable.
Thinking this way, Lin Xiwan directly put her hand on Huayibai’s waist, intending to pick her up directly.
But as soon as she exerted force, Lin Xiwan noticed something was wrong.
Huayibai’s heartbeat and pulse… seemed to be gone?
Lin Xiwan turned her neck stiffly and turned her face back to her sister.
“Huayibai is dormant,” Lin Jiayao knew that her sister would definitely be puzzled by this, so she explained directly, “This is how she rests with her ability.”
“Oh… huh… that scared me.” Lin Xiwan finally calmed down, picked up Huayibai again, let her lie halfway on her shoulder, and then reached out to push her sister’s wheelchair.
Although Lin Xiwan didn’t quite understand why Huayibai’s ability was like this, she still believed her sister’s explanation.
Of course, if someone else explained it, Lin Xiwan would probably ask a hundred thousand whys.
After carrying her sister and Huayibai and jumping onto the building-tree guard, during the building-tree guard’s run, Lin Xiwan also told her sister about what she had just done.
Lin Xiwan took Wan Zi and the others to find the hospital. Fortunately, because this hospital seemed to be quite famous before the apocalypse, the land around the hospital was contracted by developers to build residential buildings.
These residential buildings, with a little tidying up, could easily accommodate the rest of the people.
After dividing the area and adding some precautions, Lin Xiwan quickly walked back to share the joy with her sister.
From the lingering excitement on Lin Xiwan’s face, it could be seen that she was even more excited about the future camp planned by Wan Zi than Wan Zi herself.
After all, joining Survivor’s Light had always been Lin Xiwan’s dream.
Now, with her sister’s help, the dream was coming to her in a way that exceeded her expectations, and it was hard not to make her feel excited.
Kun City might become the next… no, it would definitely become a super-large survivor base surpassing Survivor’s Light in influence.
Listening to her sister sharing these things, Lin Jiayao nodded from time to time in agreement.
Looking at her sister who was lost in thought about the beautiful future, Lin Jiayao just looked at her with gentle eyes.
It had been a long time since she had seen her sister so happy about something other than herself.
Under such circumstances, Lin Jiayao did not tell her sister about the underwater creatures, so as not to spoil her sister’s mood.
Besides, Lin Jiayao hadn’t investigated these things clearly yet, and there was no need to say them now to increase anxiety.
“Yao.”
Suddenly, her sister, who put her hand on Lin Jiayao’s waist and sat on the building-tree guard with Lin Jiayao, turned to look at Lin Jiayao, as if she had something to say to her.
“If you want to say thank you, there’s no need,” Lin Jiayao tilted her head slightly, rested it on her sister’s shoulder, and said helplessly, “Instead of saying this, why don’t you think about what to eat later.”
Under the continuous exploration of the little green bugs, Lin Jiayao had explored most of the large and small material points in Kun City.
Basically, as long as it was food with a long shelf life, if her sister wanted to eat anything, Lin Jiayao could let the little green bugs bring it over.
“Um…” Suddenly asked this question, Lin Xiwan pondered for a moment.
With the topic interrupted by Lin Jiayao, Lin Xiwan actually instantly forgot the previous topic.
“It seems like I haven’t eaten vegetables for a long time… I’ll go and see if there are any…”
“Yes, dehydrated vegetables and dehydrated fruit cans, I’ll bring them over later.”
“With those little bugs?”
“Yes.”
“Amazing… then there’s no need to look for food by myself in the future.”
After chatting casually for a few words, Lin Xiwan suddenly remembered something and brought the topic back again.
“By the way, Yao… they all think we are sent by a large organization, what should we do? Do we need to explain?” Lin Xiwan asked this question while looking at her sister, feeling a little unsure.
Lin Xiwan only learned about this misunderstanding from Wan Zi later.
It turned out that after successfully bluffing the Panlong Camp convoy with the destroyed Voodoo Cult convoy, the Panlong Camp had been misunderstanding until now.
Especially after the radio incident, the people in the Panlong Camp were even more convinced that they were from a large organization.
Now they also believed that there were people from the organization living inside Kun City, mysterious and powerful.
And these situations were also told to Wan Zi by the people from the Panlong Camp. Then Wan Zi thought about it and also firmly believed in the identities of Lin Xiwan and her sister as organization cadres.
Lin Xiwan did not choose to clarify this on the spot, but planned to come back and ask her sister’s opinion.
“Isn’t this good, just let them misunderstand,” Lin Jiayao didn’t care about this, she said bluntly, “At least let them have confidence to get through this winter.”
Taking over part of the Voodoo Cult’s industry and resuming production, it was not wrong to say that it was a large organization.
The only difference was that they didn’t know that the person they were talking to was not an organization cadre, but the leader of the organization.
“Eh…” Lin Xiwan nodded, and after a while, asked softly, “Then there has to be a name…”
“You think about it.” Lin Jiayao said without hesitation.
Thinking about her naming of each logged-in zombie, she was really not good at naming things. This job should be left to her sister.
“Okay, then I’ll think about it slowly…”
When they returned to the villa, several groups of little green bugs also flew back with some cans.
After finding a room to settle Huayibai’s body and let her sleep peacefully, the two sisters soaked dehydrated fruits and vegetables in the dining room and enjoyed their dinner.
But they didn’t talk much during dinner.
Lin Xiwan was meditating on the camp’s name, while Lin Jiayao was counting down the time until the training was finished.
Soon, as dinner was coming to an end, the system training was finally completed, and Lin Jiayao could truly experience the effect of the training ground upgraded with fifty Blood Crystals.
Although the training was handstand running, she could still see some of the actual effects of this training ground.
In front of Lin Jiayao, the virtual Hideout interface unfolded before her eyes. The screen, along with Lin Jiayao’s consciousness, quickly moved towards the training ground and then sank in.
After her consciousness entered the training ground, Lin Jiayao saw a settlement interface.
[Training Completed]
[Training Content: Running]
[Training Time: 36min]
[Please retain training results]
Below the “retain training results”, there were actually two options: [Accept] and [Reject].
This was a bit redundant. How could there be a situation where someone spent Blood Crystals on training and refused to retain the results?
However, to be on the safe side, Lin Jiayao still thought for a while, and after figuring out that there was nothing the system could cheat her with, she clicked Accept.
The moment she clicked Accept, Lin Jiayao felt as if an electric current had hit her brain, making her whole body freeze.
Retaining the training results not only brought Lin Jiayao 36 minutes of training experience in reality, but also the mental power recovered from resting in the training ground.
While feeling the slight recovery of her mental power, Lin Jiayao grasped her hands in the void.
She opened her eyes, looked down at her hands, and clenched them slightly.
Although she didn’t have specific memories, she could feel that as long as she tied her legs with mycelium and supported her hands on the ground, she could perfectly walk or run upside down.
This feeling was as if Lin Jiayao had been able to do this since she was born. Handstand running became like an instinct. As long as she put her hands on the table, the corresponding muscle memory would emerge.
Lin Jiayao felt that her fingers had become stronger and more flexible, and she could even easily make some twisting movements that were difficult for her to do before.
And not only her body, she could even feel that she could use all her zombies to do this handstand walking movement…
It seemed that after obtaining this experience, she would also get a different set of handstand running enhancements because of the different zombies she logged into.
The effect was really good, but this training was also really useless.
None of the other zombies needed to run upside down… no, she didn’t need to run upside down herself either.
Fortunately, the wasted Blood Crystals were not many, just treat it as spending some money on tuition.
After confirming that the effect was good, and that it had an additional strengthening effect on her body, Lin Jiayao clicked into the training ground again and directly put in five Blood Crystals.
“Swimming, fighting, dual wielding swordsmanship, blood crystal pressure, bone manipulator…”
Lin Jiayao quickly customized five training contents for herself, all based on the abilities she currently needed.
Swimming was to allow Mask in the water to swim flexibly like a real fish. When she controlled the ray before, the swimming was too stiff.
And fighting was a more comprehensive choice. Whether it was her body or any zombie, she could use fighting skills in close combat.
If she also obtained the fighting experience, Lin Jiayao’s combat power would also have an effective small improvement.
Dual wielding swordsmanship was to prepare for A4’s form. Now when Lin Jiayao used A4’s combat form, she would only simply slash and chop, without any skills.
Now with the training ground to make up for the missing skills, it could greatly enhance A4’s lethality and single combat ability.
As for blood crystal pressure, it was Lin Jiayao’s strongest group attack method now, but if it was not released well, it was easy to crush her own people to death, so she had to rely on the training ground to improve the accuracy of control.
It would be best if she could precisely control a certain area to apply pressure, or precisely control the pressure range with herself as the center.
As for the last bone manipulator evolution training, it was prepared by Lin Jiayao for herself and also for Mask.
Bone Manipulator was Lin Jiayao’s only talent upgraded to Lv.3, and the source of this talent, Mask, was currently in the unknown seabed. No matter what, Lin Jiayao had to improve Mask’s strength.
After setting each item to train for one hour, Lin Jiayao exited the Hideout.
She gave Huayibai one Blood Crystal, and invested five in the training ground. Now Lin Jiayao had thirteen Blood Crystals left as a reserve.
Almost spent again… and she had to save Blood Crystals for her sister, the gap in Blood Crystals was getting bigger and bigger.
Lin Jiayao had already made up her mind to catch more Hive Zombies in Milwaukee, harvest all the zombies they controlled, and throw them into other cities.
This was Lin Jiayao’s “zombie farm” plan.
These Hive Zombies had territorial awareness, and would use synergistic pheromones to control all zombies entering the territory.
Even if they went to a new territory, they would first occupy the territory, and then frantically control the zombies to gather and protect themselves.
It was equivalent to a natural “machine” for gathering zombies…
No, it wasn’t equivalent, it was a natural “monster spawner”.
As long as Lin Jiayao harvested the zombies in one area and threw these Hive Zombies to other places without Hive Zombies, the next time Lin Jiayao logged in, the Hive Zombies would have gathered a bunch of zombies again.
It could not only satisfy Lin Jiayao’s demand for Blood Crystals, but also clean up the zombies by the way, it was simply a perfect solution.
But it was estimated that only Lin Jiayao would dare to think of this method.
This was using zombies to earn Blood Crystals for herself, and it was controlling Hive Zombies, the kind with the strongest mental power.
When her mental power was fully recovered, Lin Jiayao would immediately go up to harvest a new round of Blood Crystals, and leave some Hive Zombies alive, let Huayibai throw them to other cities to “absorb monsters”.
If this method was successful, Lin Jiayao would have to consider upgrading the warehouse—she was afraid that the 10×10 space would not be enough.
“Yao, are you full?”
“Yes.”
“I saw that the original swimming pool in this villa area has also become a reservoir. We can go there to take a bath directly~ Let’s go?”
Lin Xiwan looked at her sister expectantly, and seemed to be looking forward to going there.
“Okay.” Lin Jiayao nodded, not understanding why her sister was so excited just to take a bath.
She had clearly taken her sister to wash the day after the Voodoo battle ended, but Huayibai also went with them at that time.
“Hmph~” Seeing her sister agree, Lin Xiwan directly gave her a princess carry and picked her sister up from the stool.
Oh~ Such a wonderful time alone for the two of them, she must cherish it.
