Chapter One Hundred and Fifty-One: The Proactive Kiss
After picking up her sister, Lin Xiwan didn’t rush to leave, but went to Huayibai’s room before leaving.
After closing all the windows in the room where Huayibai was dormant, closing the door tightly, and confirming that there were no omissions, Lin Xiwan carried her sister out of the villa.
“Let’s go~ bath time~”
Lin Xiwan carried her sister and walked, looking very happy.
After seeing the city scenery from the top of the building-tree guard several times, Lin Xiwan also saw the abundant water resources here, and she was no longer as cautious about using water as she was at the beginning.
According to the precipitation, water storage, and purification speed here, it was estimated that the water they used was less than the water stored.
So Lin Xiwan had already planned to use the swimming pool in the villa area as the exclusive bathing place for the two sisters and Huayibai.
It was already a little late, and only the last rays of dusk remained in the sky.
Because the buildings in the villa area were relatively low, unlike other areas, most of the sunlight was not blocked by the vines intertwined between the buildings.
Soon, they arrived at the swimming pool. The first swimming pool at the entrance was about 1.8 meters deep.
But what Lin Xiwan liked when she passed by was not this large swimming pool, but the children’s pool next to it.
The children’s pool, where the water was basically only knee-deep, was very suitable for bathing.
Similar to the huge gymnasium reservoir, the water quality here was also very clear, and the slightly cold water tasted particularly refreshing.
After simply taking a bath with her sister and playing for a while, they sat naked by the pool, their bare feet soaking in the water, waiting for the wet hair to be dried by the evening wind.
“Are you cold?” Lin Xiwan’s legs swayed gently, and her feet rippled on the water surface illuminated by a faint fluorescent green light.
The temperature was starting to drop slowly now, especially at night, the drop was particularly obvious. Although it wasn’t cold enough to wear long sleeves, she could still feel a slight chill.
Although Lin Xiwan was very willing to sit here with her sister and blow the wind, chatting, her sister’s health was still the most important.
“Not cold.” Lin Jiayao replied indifferently.
Lin Jiayao, who had already upgraded [Robust] to Lv.3, could even be immune to some toxins, so naturally she wouldn’t be affected by this little wind.
After sitting like this for a while, not hearing her sister speak again, Lin Jiayao turned her head curiously and looked at her sister.
“Is there anything you want to ask?” Looking at her sister who was thinking with her head down, her feet stirring the water boredly, Lin Jiayao asked directly.
For Lin Jiayao, who was almost always with her sister, her sister’s thoughts were too easy to guess.
Usually, when the two sisters were sitting together like this, if her sister didn’t have anything on her mind, she definitely wouldn’t be so quiet.
Usually, if her sister sat and chatted with her, she would either reach out and rub her legs, or pinch her stomach, or rub her head and twirl her hair with her fingers, completely treating Lin Jiayao like a life-size doll, wishing she could play with her from head to toe.
A situation like this where she was spacing out obviously meant that she had something on her mind.
Her sister seemed to be very happy all day today, so what else could make her sister so worried so late?
Hearing her sister’s question, Lin Xiwan also turned her head slightly and looked in her sister’s direction.
“Um… yes.” Lin Xiwan pondered for a while, then nodded, looked at her sister and said, “I do have something to ask.”
“What is it?” Lin Jiayao looked at her sister and asked curiously.
Basically, before, everything her sister wanted to know, including her abilities, she had already told her sister. The camp was also developing very well now, and Lin Jiayao couldn’t guess what her sister wanted to ask for a moment.
Could it be about the name?
It was also unlikely. This kind of small matter was basically something that could be decided on a whim, and there was no need to think about it temporarily like this.
Soon, without Lin Jiayao having to guess, her sister said what she was struggling with.
“Yao, could it be because you’ve been entering dreams too many times recently… I always feel that your spirit is not very good, and your expression is becoming more and more serious…”
Lin Xiwan said, and reached out to pinch her sister’s shoulder, asking seriously:
“Did you see something in your dream? Something bad.”
Just as Lin Jiayao understood her sister, Lin Xiwan, as the older sister, also understood her sister’s personality and habits very well.
Recently, her sister’s frequency of “entering dreams” did not seem to decrease because of the demise of the Voodoo Cult, but increased further. And every time she came out of the “dream” state, her expression would obviously show fatigue.
Especially today, when her sister was thinking about something, there would always be a terrifying aura of “do not disturb”, as if she was thinking about something serious.
Lin Xiwan, who was used to getting along with her sister, was not affected, but others obviously did not dare to make eye contact with her sister.
Why was her sister working so hard? What was she worrying about?
After thinking about it, Lin Xiwan only thought of one result.
That was that her sister encountered or saw some kind of crisis in her “dream”, and it was a crisis that would actually affect her.
Otherwise, there was no way to explain why her sister didn’t feel relaxed at all after arriving at a place where she could obviously live in peace.
It was no different from the state when they were fleeing.
Before, when her sister’s eyes became scary, Lin Xiwan didn’t have this feeling, because Lin Xiwan was in a very relaxed state.
It wasn’t until noon today that her sister’s spirit became a little sluggish. After teasing her sister, she found that her sister would space out from time to time, and Lin Xiwan began to realize that something was wrong.
Connecting the phenomena she had observed before, Lin Xiwan knew that her sister must have something on her mind.
Lin Xiwan didn’t speak just now, and she was also struggling with how to ask her sister about these things.
Although she might not be able to help much, she at least wanted to know what happened and work hard with her sister.
After hearing her sister’s question, Lin Jiayao suddenly realized.
As expected, her sister was still worried about her.
Originally, Lin Jiayao did not intend to talk about these things, but if her sister asked, Lin Jiayao would not hide it.
“Yes.” Lin Jiayao looked at her sister and nodded slightly.
“What is it? Are there very strong zombies nearby? Or are there remnants of the Voodoo Cult coming for revenge?” Lin Xiwan asked nervously.
She listed the worst-case scenarios, but unfortunately, she didn’t guess correctly.
There were no very strong zombies nearby, and the remnants of the Voodoo Cult could not pose any threat to them now.
After a slight pause, Lin Jiayao thought about how to use the simplest things to make her sister understand this matter.
Lin Xiwan knew that her sister was organizing her words, so she was not in a hurry, but just gently touched her sister’s head, letting her slowly organize her words.
“Sister, do you remember the heavy rain and typhoon when we left Yangzhou City?” Lin Jiayao looked at her sister and asked.
“Yes.” Lin Xiwan nodded.
“The heavy rain hasn’t stopped.”
“Hasn’t… stopped?” Lin Xiwan frowned and asked, “It has been raining until now? It’s still raining?”
“Yes, Wan Zi’s camp also decided to relocate the entire camp because of the heavy rain that gradually spread to her place…”
“What about the situation there?”
Lin Xiwan asked with some concern.
After all, Guangnan Province was the place where she had lived since she was a child, and she still had some feelings for it.
“It’s all flooded. The ground along the river was torn open, and the seawater poured in through the crack.”
Lin Jiayao paused slightly, sighed softly, and said:
“This may not be naturally formed, but caused by a terrifying zombie on the seabed… Japan is also being attacked by huge monsters, and coastal cities are constantly being attacked by huge tsunamis.”
“Of course, these are just my guesses, and I haven’t really investigated them in depth.”
After listening to her sister’s speculation, Lin Xiwan was silent for a long time, and after a while, she asked softly: “A-rank? Zombie?”
“Possibly.”
Hearing her sister’s answer, Lin Xiwan finally knew why her sister would occasionally space out, and why she was so desperate to “enter dreams”.
If it were Lin Xiwan herself, maybe… no, she would definitely be more nervous than her sister.
A-rank… tearing the ground along the river into a canyon… What kind of terrifying destructive power was this?
Lin Xiwan, who had fought with B-rank Awakened, knew very well the terror of B-rank Awakened. They could destroy a small area or an entire street with all their strength.
Because Lin Xiwan herself was C-rank, after fighting with B-rank, she clearly understood the gap between C-rank and B-rank.
It was simply not something that could be made up for by any means, unless there was a super AI controlling your body, making every action of yours perfect, then it was possible to survive under the attack of a B-rank Awakened.
Like before, if it weren’t for Huayibai’s bitter trick and delay, Lin Xiwan would not have been able to find a way to approach the man covered in flames, and she might have been cremated on the spot.
And now she was told that there was an A-rank in the sea…
You know, she had never even heard of the existence of A-rank humans, even B-rank was a rare existence.
How terrifying would an A-rank zombie be… Lin Xiwan couldn’t imagine.
But what was certain was that it could definitely crush B-rank blood crystals.
“Are you worried… that they will come ashore?” Lin Xiwan put her restless hand on her sister’s shoulder and pulled her closer.
“Yes.”
“Have you been investigating this in your dreams?”
“Recently.”
Lin Xiwan hugged her sister and was silent for a long time.
After a while, until Lin Xiwan felt that her feet were wrinkled from soaking in the water, she took her legs back and curled them up, then picked up her sister and let her sit in her arms.
“Then… Yao, what are you going to do?” Lin Xiwan rested her chin on her sister’s shoulder and asked softly.
“Investigate clearly first, and then… try to stop it if possible.” Lin Jiayao’s voice was calm, as if she was talking about a trivial matter.
“What if it can’t be stopped?”
“Then stay away.”
“Stay away… ?”
Lin Xiwan slowly lowered her head, her face against her sister’s back, her forehead against her shoulder, as if she didn’t want her sister to see her expression at this time.
But her voice had already let Lin Jiayao know that she was very sad.
Finally, they had a resource-rich camp that could be self-sufficient; finally, they had a reliable person like Wan Zi who seemed to be able to make friends; finally, they were about to realize the ideal of Survivor’s Light…
But all of this, in front of the suffocating letter “A”, seemed so fragile and vulnerable.
If they really encountered a terrifying A-rank zombie, the destruction of the camp might only be an instant matter.
And they would not be spared.
Lin Jiayao felt her sister’s emotions, slowly bent her arms, and was about to comfort her sister when her sister spoke before her.
“It’s okay~” Lin Xiwan gently rubbed her sister’s back, and hugged her sister tighter, “It’s okay, with you here, it’s the same everywhere.”
“Yes…”
Lin Jiayao gently stroked her sister’s hair with her fingers, letting her sister hug her like this.
She knew that her sister must be very sad after knowing this news, and she felt very insecure. In fact, when Lin Jiayao first saw the giant eye in the deep-sea black thorns, she was even more desperate than her sister now.
But Lin Jiayao also adjusted quickly, and the reason was similar to her sister’s.
Her sister was like an anchor point supporting Lin Jiayao to live in the apocalypse. As long as her sister was still by her side and alive, even if she faced the suspected A-rank zombie with terrifying pressure in the seabed, Lin Jiayao would try her best to stop it.
Not to mention that now there was another anchor point, Huayibai.
There was no reason not to persevere.
At this time, the system just happened to remind her that a training had been completed, but Lin Jiayao did not rush to receive it, but planned to stay with her sister for a while longer.
After the two sisters comforted each other for a while, the sky, which had just cleared up not long ago, began to drizzle again.
Worried that her sister would catch a cold, Lin Xiwan did not stay by the pool any longer. After putting on clothes for her sister and herself, Lin Xiwan took her sister back to the villa and lay together on the soft bed in the master bedroom.
“Good night,” Lin Jiayao held her sister’s face with her left hand before her sister went to bed, and said seriously, “Don’t worry, trust me.”
“Little kid…” Lin Xiwan smiled and took her sister’s hand away, directly leaned forward, and bumped her forehead against her sister’s forehead.
“It’s okay, I’m still here.” Lin Xiwan smiled, gently rubbed her sister’s nose with the tip of her nose, and said confidently, “Watch me train to A-rank and blow them up.”
Although she knew that her sister was comforting her, Lin Jiayao’s mood really relaxed a lot because of her sister’s close smile.
“Okay, I trust you.” Lin Jiayao nodded, her eyes full of smiles.
“Good night~”
“Good night.”
After giving a proactive kiss, Lin Jiayao slowly closed her eyes.
Four hours later, Lin Jiayao slowly appeared in the training space and clicked the [Accept] button in the retain experience interface.
Then, Lin Jiayao opened the [Login] entry, looked at No. 1, and then moved her gaze to No. 5.
She didn’t want to care about what was in the seabed, and she didn’t want to know if they had intelligence, or if they wanted to come ashore and slaughter.
She felt that her sister was right.
It would be fine to be promoted to A-rank and blow them up.
Lin Jiayao even had a more terrifying plan brewing.
Even if she logged into No. 5 and No. 1 and couldn’t find a solution, and the A-rank in the seabed landed, she still had a way.
She just needed to kill all the zombies in the cities around Kun City.
If the A-rank dared to step in.
She would directly choose to log in.
Thinking this way, Lin Jiayao’s consciousness directly chose No. 5.
There were obviously cities in Japan that were more severely attacked by seabed creatures.
She could go and see the situation, and see why those seabed creatures came ashore.
