Sickly Girl Doesn’t Die in Zombie Simulator 158

Chapter One Hundred and Fifty-Eight: The Best Sister in the World

But Jiang Chun knew that now was not the time to dwell on the past. There wasn’t much time for sentimentality; she had a whole camp of living people waiting for her news. She had to learn to let go of the painful past, forge a future, and avoid repeating the same mistakes.

“Sorry, I was a little impatient just now…” Jiang Chun quickly composed herself and asked the black-robed figure in the girl’s hand, “How should I address you?”

Preoccupied with the mushroom zombies, Jiang Chun hadn’t even asked for the other party’s name.

“Just call me Lin Jiayao.” Lin Jiayao responded directly to Jiang Chun’s words.

In the apocalypse, revealing one’s name wasn’t a big deal. A name was just a code, a symbolic marker for people to recognize you. You could even change it at any time. This wasn’t like before the apocalypse, where revealing a name could lead to your entire family history being exposed.

“Okay, Senior Lin, actually, besides the question just now, I have another question I want to ask you…” After politely greeting her, Jiang Chun continued.

Judging from Jiang Chun’s form of address, she clearly assumed Lin Jiayao, who had a “daughter,” was an older, more senior figure.

Lin Jiayao didn’t bother correcting her, simply nodding to indicate she should continue. She had almost completely adapted to this method of communication. It was like a video call, except the tool being used was Huayibai, not a phone.

However, to be safe and prevent the silly Huayibai from relaying anything she shouldn’t, Lin Jiayao made a temporary rule with her: only what Lin Jiayao said while poking Huayibai’s cheek would be transmitted.

After Huayibai conveyed Lin Jiayao’s nod through the miniature figure, Jiang Chun took a deep breath and began her question.

“Could you share information about these mushroom zombies with us? In exchange, we will share all of Survivor’s Light’s undocumented zombie intelligence with you.”

In Jiang Chun’s eyes, this was a very profitable deal. Survivor’s Light had basically shared all its general zombie intelligence via radio broadcasts. But the undocumented intelligence was mostly about zombies that were close to or at B-rank, the tough nuts Survivor’s Light had encountered but hadn’t been able to crack.

Trading this information, which was of little use to the currently weakened Survivor’s Light, for the crucial mushroom zombie intelligence was a bargain. And the other party seemed to have no reason to refuse. After all, the intelligence Jiang Chun offered was still somewhat tempting to these large organizations.

It was equivalent to spending a piece of information that wasn’t very useful to them in exchange for a distribution map of B-rank zombies in the central and southern regions.

As expected, the other party readily agreed to the intelligence exchange request. After all, for this mysterious organization that had already destroyed the Voodoo Cult, the mushroom zombie intelligence might really be of little value.

“Blood Orb Mycelium, that’s what we call it… what you call ‘mushroom zombies.’”

“Their origin can be confirmed to be Chongyu City. The spores are blood-red. After invading a living body, they begin to absorb blood crystals and flesh to develop mycelium. Because their fruiting bodies can mimic humans, it’s generally impossible to distinguish between humans and Blood Orb Mycelium fruiting bodies from their appearance…”

“…After evolving to B-rank, they seem to gain a new consciousness. Although the influence of the initial memory is significant, they are already a completely new species. This is the ‘resurrection’ effect that the Voodoo Cult BOSS has been pursuing…”

Lin Jiayao didn’t hold back on her information, directly telling everything she knew about the Blood Orb Mycelium below B-rank.

But she kept Huayibai’s abilities secret, as this might reveal Huayibai’s weaknesses and pose a threat to her.

Jiang Chun listened and nodded repeatedly, her exceptional memory recording all the information. This information might be the key to finding a way out for Survivor’s Light, as most of them were now infected with Blood Orb Mycelium.

After understanding the basic information about the Blood Orb zombies, Jiang Chun began to ask the key question.

“Senior Lin, has your organization turned these Voodoo Cult members infected with Blood Orb Mycelium into a productive force?” Jiang Chun asked about the doubts she had after seeing those factories. “Survivor’s Light has also developed a set of solar-powered electrostatic devices that can protect users from having their brains invaded by Blood Orb Mycelium. So, in the absence of a cure, I want to try to make them more compatible with the Blood Orb Mycelium…”

After raising her doubts, Jiang Chun immediately stated the effect she wanted to achieve, so that the other party could understand what she was thinking and determine whether it could be realized.

What Jiang Chun said was actually a specific explanation of Survivor’s Light’s predicament, as they had already communicated about this on the radio.

“A good attempt. Blood Orb Mycelium has no independent consciousness. As long as it doesn’t evolve into a B-rank mycelium, this method is very applicable.”

Lin Jiayao affirmed Jiang Chun’s idea.

Lin Jiayao knew all too well the Blood Orb Mycelium’s fear of electricity and fire. Huayibai was basically injured by these two things every time.

As long as Survivor’s Light could ensure the safety and reliability of the electrostatic suppression collars, there shouldn’t be any major problems.

Lin Jiayao was just a little curious about how Survivor’s Light had created these suppression collars in such a short time. This was a big project.

In her impression, Survivor’s Light definitely didn’t have such strong industrial capabilities.

“If you keep using electrostatic collars, can you guarantee the failure rate and have enough repair parts?” Lin Jiayao asked.

She had to confirm whether the other party had a solution. If not, Lin Jiayao could provide some solutions from the perspective of fungal zombies that didn’t rely on electrical appliances.

“Um… thank you for your concern. We can guarantee the repair parts and failure rate…”

At this point, Jiang Chun, who had always seemed mature and steady, began to stammer.

But thinking that the senior on the other side had always been amiable and willing to share information without reservation, Jiang Chun gritted her teeth and told what she originally wanted to hide without reservation.

“Those electrostatic collars… are actually adult toys… they were found in, um… an adult products warehouse…”

“Our genius designer, after slightly modifying the appearance, could use them directly, just by removing the remote control function and uniformly changing it to low-power continuous discharge.”

At first, Jiang Chun blushed a little when she talked about this, but the more she talked, the more relaxed she became.

Because the other party didn’t show any expression about these things.

Yes, in such an apocalypse, it was good enough to find suitable materials and modify them. Why care about the previous purpose of these tools?

Anything that could suppress the Blood Orb Mycelium was a good collar, regardless of whether it was a sex toy before.

So she didn’t need to feel ashamed of these things.

Just as Lin Jiayao was about to bring up the triangular transportation line, Jiang Chun suddenly spoke.

“Senior Lin, I have a somewhat immature idea…”

What Jiang Chun wanted to say was exactly the idea she had during the previous radio conversation.

Before, Jiang Chun just wanted to turn Survivor’s Light into a self-sufficient large camp, and then distribute surplus food to the surrounding city camps.

But now, she had a more mature idea.

Then, Jiang Chun proposed to open a transportation channel between Chongyu City and Donghai City, so that these two cities, which also had factories and were also worked by fungal zombies, could develop and plant together, and assist all the provinces and cities along this route.

Originally, Jiang Chun was a little nervous when she proposed this idea.

After all, she wasn’t quite sure about the other party’s nature.

Organizations like Survivor’s Light would do their best to help other survivors.

But she didn’t know if Senior Lin’s organization was of the same nature.

After all, if they agreed to this condition, Senior Lin’s organization would be at a pure loss.

It was equivalent to the factory that originally supplied blood to the organization in full having to allocate a considerable part of its production capacity to the cities along the way…

Jiang Chun didn’t have much hope that the other party would agree. She just asked tentatively. If the other party remained silent for too long, Jiang Chun would have to tactfully change the subject.

But then, what Senior Lin said shocked Jiang Chun.

“Okay, but this transportation route needs to include Kun City as well. In the future, if nothing unexpected happens, Kun City will continuously produce more high-yield crops of various kinds. Besides self-use and storage, the rest can be supplied free of charge as materials.”

Lin Jiayao slowly said, adding Kun City to this transportation blueprint.

“Really… are you serious? Your organization agreed to this route?” Jiang Chun widened her eyes, not hiding her shock and excitement. She didn’t hold back her praise and said, “You are the true Survivor’s Light.”

“No, it’s not me.” Lin Jiayao smiled and shook her head, looking in her sister’s direction.

Her sister, who was concentrating, was still carefully listening to this great plan that might change the lives of most survivors, not daring to breathe, and didn’t notice her sister looking at her.

But what her sister said next stunned her.

“The proposer of this plan is my sister, Lin Xiwan. If you want to praise someone, it should be her.” Lin Jiayao said with a smile.

And on the other side, Huayibai did not imitate Lin Jiayao’s smiling tone, but continued to repeat these words to Jiang Chun in a gender-neutral voice.

So Jiang Chun couldn’t judge the other party’s emotions from the miniature figure’s tone.

But Jiang Chun was very tactful. The first thing she did after hearing this was to say very solemnly:

“I understand. On behalf of myself and Survivor’s Light, I salute Senior Lin Xiwan…”

Speaking of this, Jiang Chun showed a relaxed smile and continued:

“If you don’t mind, I will engrave Senior Lin Xiwan’s name at the entrance of Survivor’s Light’s new government hall… Is it the double wood Lin, the evening Xi, the late Wan?”

“Yes.” Lin Jiayao looked at her stunned sister and nodded slightly.

But now Lin Xiwan was like a primary school student who was sleeping in class and suddenly called upon, a little flustered, and her face also flushed slightly.

“How can you say it was me… It wasn’t my idea at all, Yao, it was all you…”

Lin Xiwan seemed to be worried about disturbing the conversation, and said hurriedly in a very low voice, while also raising her hand and gently shaking her sister’s shoulder.

It could be seen that Lin Xiwan was a little at a loss for the other party’s praise, and even felt a little unworthy of it.

She never thought that Survivor’s Light, the great organization she had been longing to join, would treat her name with such respect, and even engrave it at the entrance of the leader’s building…

How to describe it most aptly?

It was probably like sending her sister to the college entrance examination, and after the exam, her sister smiled and said to her, “Congratulations, sister, you have been admitted to Tsinghua University.”

It was simply magical.

Although Lin Xiwan had always wanted to join Survivor’s Light before, she didn’t expect that her name would be known by the leader of Survivor’s Light in this way…

How could she still say how much she admired them when she saw the leader of Survivor’s Light in the future?

“Wasn’t it you, sister?” Lin Jiayao said to her sister with a smile, “If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t let these camp people in, and I wouldn’t think of negotiating with Survivor’s Light… These were all influenced by you, sister.”

Lin Jiayao was telling the truth. If it weren’t for her sister, she might have just buried herself in frantically logging into zombies to strengthen herself, either waiting for her mental power to recover or on the way to exhausting her mental power.

“Really… really?” Lin Xiwan seemed to be a little confused by her sister, and murmured, “It seems so…”

But it felt like something was wrong?

It was wrong!

Although she had influence, these were all plans thought up by her sister, and they were all implemented by her sister…

When Lin Xiwan wanted to argue, she found that her sister had already poked Huayibai’s cheek and started to continue communicating with Jiang Chun about the details.

Now, it was not good to interrupt her sister.

Lin Xiwan pursed her lips. Now she felt like she had lost an argument, and only thought of a better rebuttal when she went to bed at night, but the argument had long ended, and she had lost.

After a while, she looked at her sister and smiled helplessly, feeling a warm current surging in her heart.

“Thank you, Yao.” Lin Xiwan put her hand on her sister’s head and gently rubbed it.

She knew that her sister was helping her realize her dream, which she couldn’t realize before because of her sister, in a different way.

Her sister had always kept it in mind…

Lin Xiwan sniffed a little unconvincingly and thought silently.

This was definitely the best sister in the world, she, Lin Xiwan, said so.

No refutation accepted!
