Sickly Girl Doesn’t Die in Zombie Simulator 161

Chapter One Hundred and Sixty-One: Devour! Evolve!

After reading the mycelium-simulated map that Huayibai produced, Lin Jiayao rolled it up and tucked it back into Huayibai’s mouth.

“Let’s go, take me back to where we were.”

While controlling the zombie to fight with her sister earlier, Lin Jiayao had tested most of the combat experience gained from the [Training Grounds].

Swimming, fighting, dual wielding swordsmanship, Blood Crystal Pressure, Bone Manipulator… Except for swimming and the newly trained Divine Skin Armor, Lin Jiayao had basically tried each of them.

Using Bone Manipulator to control zombies to fight with her sister, using zombies to test fighting techniques, using the zombie’s spine to experiment with dual wielding swordsmanship…

It seemed like Lin Jiayao was training her sister, but in fact, Lin Jiayao herself was also consolidating the combat experience she had already acquired.

Of the twenty-three Blood Crystals Lin Jiayao had left, ten were used to upgrade [Rest Area Lv.1], and one was used to train [Divine Skin Armor], leaving her with twelve.

Next, Lin Jiayao also planned to spend one Blood Crystal to train [Tendril Proliferation], hoping to reach Huayibai’s level of mimicking objects. This would further reduce her Blood Crystal count.

After putting one into the [Training Grounds] to train [Tendril Proliferation Lv.1], Lin Jiayao put another Blood Crystal into the [Zombie Loot Box], intending to get a guaranteed reward.

After a round of consumption, Lin Jiayao’s Blood Crystals dropped to ten.

Ten Blood Crystals looked a bit sparse in the huge Blood Crystal Box in the warehouse.

Lin Jiayao planned to keep these Blood Crystals as a reserve and not touch them for the time being, in case she didn’t have enough Blood Crystals to replenish in an emergency.

She had to quickly replenish her dwindling Blood Crystals…

While her sister was taking a bath and resting, Lin Jiayao asked Huayibai to push her to the “arena.”

She didn’t come to the “arena” to look for Blood Crystals. These zombies would only drop sap when they died, not Blood Crystals.

Lin Jiayao came to retrieve the B-rank Awakened corpse from the Building-Tree Guardian’s mouth, the original Voodoo B-rank Awakened who called himself Boss Luo.

Now, the Awakened’s crushed corpse was still lying quietly in the Building-Tree Guardian’s mouth.

After connecting to the vascular network with vines, Lin Jiayao controlled the Building-Tree Guardian, which had returned to the vascular network, to open its large, serrated, millstone-like mouth and spit out a pool of blood and mud.

And this pool of blood and mud, which had begun to emit a foul smell because it had stayed in the Building-Tree Guardian’s mouth for too long, made a disgusting “splat” sound after hitting the ground.

Lin Jiayao calmly pushed her wheelchair to the rotting flesh and blood, and the mycelium extending from her hand touched the flesh and blood, putting them into the Item Storage Box in the warehouse.

At least after putting it in, the flesh and blood inside would not continue to rot, so that she wouldn’t be so resistant when controlling A4 to eat it.

After retrieving this lump of B-rank flesh and blood, Lin Jiayao now had the remains of four B-rank blood crystals in her hands.

Boss Luo, Wu Hejun, Anan, and the scales of the zombie ray.

Now the Safehouse had been upgraded to 4×4, with a total of 16 slots for Lin Jiayao to store items, enough to hold the previous nine scales plus some corpse flesh and blood.

Lin Jiayao tore off the left and right index fingers from Wu Hejun and Anan’s corpses, and then took out some flesh from Boss Luo’s blood and mud that could still be seen as flesh-colored, and put them all into the Safehouse.

After taking out one of the few ten Blood Crystals and putting it into the Safehouse as a reserve, Lin Jiayao stopped her operation.

Because the operation of separating the corpses could not be directly completed in the warehouse, Lin Jiayao had to take the corpses out of the warehouse every time, divide them, and then put them back.

While doing all this, not only Lin Jiayao, but even Huayibai did not show any unusual expression.

It was as if it was just as ordinary as pulling a chicken leg from a chicken raised for two and a half years.

This was why Lin Jiayao had to stay away from her sister to do all this – she was afraid of scaring her sister.

The almost passive [Hunting Rhythm] prevented Lin Jiayao from having any emotions such as trembling and fear that were detrimental to hunting and fighting, which would seem quite cold-blooded in the eyes of others.

And Huayibai, needless to say, in her eyes, maybe killing a chicken was really more curious than killing a person – because she had never seen a chicken.

Therefore, these two people were so calm when facing this dismemberment scene, but if Lin Xiwan was present, her pupils would definitely be shaking.

After dividing the flesh and blood, and checking the items in the Safehouse to confirm that nothing was missing, Lin Jiayao looked at the construction time of the Control Center.

The [Control Center] would be completed at about the same time as the [Rest Area] in the afternoon, and now there were almost three hours until the afternoon.

The [Zombie Loot Box] was still extracting to get the guaranteed reward, and there were still projects in the [Training Grounds] being trained by the system. For a while, almost all the functions of the system were fully utilized by Lin Jiayao.

She was really preparing to become stronger every minute and every second.

Lin Jiayao planned to log into A4 after the Control Center was upgraded. Now there was still some time left, and she didn’t know what to do.

She sat in the wheelchair, looked at Huayibai beside her, reached out and rubbed Huayibai’s head and asked:

“How do you feel after dormancy?”

“Um~ Huayibai feels very comfortable. There was always a buzzing sound in Huayibai’s head before, and now it’s gone!”

After hearing Mommy ask her a question, Huayibai directly squatted next to the wheelchair, raised her head and looked at Mommy with a smile.

“That’s good.” Lin Jiayao nodded.

When Huayibai came, she had just finished helping her sister train, and Huayibai also brought some other news, so Lin Jiayao didn’t have time to care about Huayibai’s situation immediately.

Now she was making up for the missing care.

Seeing that Huayibai was in good spirits and behaving no differently than before, Lin Jiayao was completely relieved.

She asked Huayibai again about the feelings of her other clones, and after getting good replies, Lin Jiayao did not stay here any longer, but let Huayibai push her back to the residential area.

Even if there was nothing to do, Lin Jiayao would still choose to stay by her sister’s side, maybe it was a habit.

Their settlement was not very far from the “arena”, and Huayibai quickly pushed Lin Jiayao back to the settlement.

When they entered the villa area and were about to walk towards the swimming pool, they happened to see her sister wrapped in a white bath towel coming out of the swimming pool. She was also carrying a set of black sportswear and a jacket covered in blood in her left hand.

“Yao~” Seeing Lin Jiayao from afar, her sister waved her right hand in her direction, then covered the opening of the bath towel on her chest and jogged towards Lin Jiayao.

She didn’t dare to run too fast. After all, she wasn’t wearing any clothes now, only a bath towel wrapped around her. If her movements were a little too big, there would be a risk of exposure.

It wasn’t that she minded being exposed in front of her sister or Huayibai, but now it felt like there were more than just the three of them in the city, so she had to be more restrained in everything she did.

Mainly, she couldn’t mislead Huayibai, such as making Huayibai think that running around without clothes was normal. If that really happened, it would be quite troublesome.

“Finished washing?” Lin Jiayao looked at her sister standing in front of her and asked with a smile.

At this time, her sister was holding dirty clothes in her left hand and covering the bath towel on her chest with her right hand.

Lin Jiayao could see that her sister really wanted to reach out and touch her, but unfortunately, there were no extra hands. After all, her sister was not like her, who could use mycelium to simulate a third hand.

“These clothes, do you want to take them back to wash?” Lin Jiayao looked at the dirty clothes in her sister’s hands and asked.

“Yes, these clothes are too dirty. I didn’t wash them around the swimming pool, I was worried about staining the whole pool red…” Lin Xiwan shook the clothes that had almost dried into hard lumps and said helplessly.

It could only be said that it was fortunate that the clothes were black. If it were any other color… it might eventually turn black.

“Just throw them on the side of the road,” Lin Jiayao raised her hand and pointed to the ground next to her, and said, “I’ll see if I can find a working washing machine later.”

“Oh, right, most of the electrical appliances here are still intact… but how are you going to generate electricity? Yao.” Lin Xiwan asked curiously.

They were not like those mature large organizations, which could generate electricity in various ways. In this city that was covered by water mist all day long, solar energy didn’t seem to be of any use.

Generating electricity was indeed a problem… Lin Jiayao narrowed her eyes slightly.

Even if she could get diesel and a generator, and temporarily use a diesel generator for a while, the electricity provided by the diesel generator was more than enough to maintain the consumption of the two sisters and Huayibai, but it was not enough to maintain so many people in the entire Kun City.

She had to find a more effective way to generate electricity.

Actually, Lin Jiayao already had a backup plan for generating electricity, but it was not very mature yet. She didn’t have much professional knowledge about power generation, and didn’t know how to implement this backup plan.

This backup plan was… zombie electricity.

Yes, using Wu Hejun’s flesh and blood to raise a group of C-rank or D-rank zombies that could use lightning abilities, and then using some kind of device to store this violent electricity into storage batteries, storing their electricity…

This might be able to achieve the conversion of blood crystals into electrical energy, but she didn’t know what the energy consumption ratio would be.

Of course, there was a cheaper solution, and this solution was also the most feasible, inspired by Huayibai.

That was zombie power generation.

Catch a few hundred zombies and lock them together, let Lin Jiayao release specific pheromones to guide them to release their remaining value on hand-cranked or treadmill generators, and then store this remaining value into storage batteries.

I have to say, this method was still more feasible.

In the following time, her restless sister, after resting for a while, quietly asked Lin Jiayao if she wanted to go to the camp together.

She didn’t need to think to know that after listening to her conversation with Survivor’s Light just now, her sister’s excitement must not have subsided yet.

She was probably already imagining the fairy tale of the triangular transportation route being established, and then using this triangular transportation route as a base to spread their influence to other places, and finally uniting the camps little by little to eliminate the zombies.

Her sister was very likely to imagine these things, she was more emotional.

But Lin Jiayao, who was not emotional, nor could she be called rational, did not think that this matter would be simple.

If it was a month ago, no, a week ago, before Lin Jiayao had witnessed the apocalyptic destruction of Japan, which was almost sinking because of the seabed zombies, she might still believe it.

But now, improving her own strength was the most reliable thing.

After accompanying her sister to find a new set of clothes to change into, and then going to see the planting field and the living conditions of the camp people together, her sister finally felt unstoppable drowsiness and pushed Lin Jiayao back to the villa area shakily.

Lin Jiayao sat in the wheelchair and watched her sister fall asleep before opening the system panel in her vision.

Huayibai had gone to play with her newly acquainted fungal friends, so Lin Jiayao didn’t have to worry.

And the [Control Center] had also been upgraded, and the [Rest Area] had also been built. It was time to try the new control mode.

Lin Jiayao’s consciousness clicked on the system’s [Login] entry, and a longer list than before appeared in front of Lin Jiayao.

[No.1: [Mask] (Available)]
[No.2: 🌐 (Available)]
[No.3: [Goldie] (Available)]
[No.4: [A4] (Available)]
[No.5: [Unnamed] (Available)]
[No.6: 🌐 (Available)]
[No.7: 🌐 (Available)]
[No.8: 🌐 (Available)]

Looking at these four blank login slots, Lin Jiayao suddenly felt a burst of liver pain.

There was a feeling that even if she logged in all day long, she wouldn’t be able to log into all these slots.

Her spirit would be drained.

Lin Jiayao took a deep breath, confirmed again that the items in the Safehouse were fully prepared, and clicked on No. 4 A4 with her consciousness.

After a familiar dizziness, all the senses around Lin Jiayao changed. The heavy rain was washing her skin, and the roar of the river could be heard under her feet.

Yuejiang Bridge Extraction Point.

She didn’t know whether to call it lucky or unlucky. This time, the heavy rain in Qingzhou, like last time, did not intensify like the rainstorm in Yangzhou.

Lin Jiayao didn’t know the specific reason at this time. She just looked left and right on the bridge, and then walked towards a motorhome that looked relatively intact.

Tearing open the car door, Lin Jiayao got into the motorhome, temporarily isolating herself from the heavy rain outside.

“Roar—”

Inside the dark motorhome, a zombie rushed towards her the moment Lin Jiayao tore open the door, just like the door-opening kill in zombie movies.

Then, the moment the zombie was about to approach Lin Jiayao, it shattered into pieces and scattered inside the motorhome, leaving only a few blood-red sword light afterimages in the air.

Pulling open the dusty table in the motorhome, wiping it slightly, Lin Jiayao took out four corpse remains from the Safehouse and placed them neatly in front of her.

If a mobile phone was placed in front, it would be a standard eating broadcast.

Devouring and evolving, began.
