Sickly Girl Doesn’t Die in Zombie Simulator 212

Chapter 212: System Carry

“What? What’s happening? Why are we running away?”

Kisaragi Mika, gripping the bone spurs on the flying insect’s abdomen, shouted over the roar of its wings. Her view had been obstructed, so she hadn’t seen what was in the little girl’s hand.

Kisaragi Mika kept looking back through the gaps between the bone spurs, watching Lord Ino, bathed in the blood-red sunset, grow increasingly distant.

Lord Ino stood still, facing the distant sea, seemingly with no intention of leaving.

“It looks like the Living Weapon’s wounds have healed… The plan’s changed, we have to escape first.”

Gaishu explained, his voice laced with panic. He had seen the colossal figure rising from the sea. The sheer difference in size made it seem invincible.

“But…” Furukawa Hana stood up, grabbing a bone spur above her to steady herself. “If we run now… won’t it just become stronger?”

“The further we run, the harder it will be to fight, right? Where in all of Japan will we find someone to match it then?”

Furukawa Hana’s words calmed the panicked Gaishu.

Gaishu leaned back and said, “But there’s no plan this time…”

“So you’ve been relying on plans every time you encounter a powerful zombie? You’ve made it this far in the apocalypse by analyzing and planning?” Furukawa Hana’s eyes narrowed, her voice laced with anger. She pointed behind them.

“Look!”

In the direction she pointed, the Ino Giant still stood there, silently watching the even larger monstrosity slowly approach, without any intention of moving.

Did Ino… intend to use her own body to block that seabed monstrosity, buying them time to escape?

“Let me out! I want to help Lord Ino!”

Kisaragi Mika, ignoring their argument, struggled to pry open the bone spurs on the flying insect’s abdomen, one leg already sticking out. But she wasn’t a muscle-type Awakened, and she lacked the strength. Her slender leg was stuck between the hard bone spurs.

The inside of the flapping-wing insect’s abdomen became chaotic. Gaishu, sitting at the edge, listened to Furukawa Hana’s words, lost in thought.

Furukawa Hana was absolutely right. From the beginning of the apocalypse until now, which battle hadn’t been a chaotic encounter filled with unknowns? How many times had they truly been fully prepared before a fight?

More often than not, it was like this, a sudden crisis.

And… there was one more crucial point.

Gaishu was now completely convinced that the person controlling the Ino Giant was telling the truth, and that person must be inside the Ino Giant!

Otherwise, there was no way to explain how the Ino Giant had been controlled to bring them so far without seeing the controller.

The controller was inside the Ino Giant all along…

And now, facing this sudden crisis, “Ino” had chosen to stay behind and cover their retreat.

Defense far exceeding B-rank, strength far exceeding B-rank…

Through the gaps between the bone spurs, Gaishu saw the giant monster, now only the size of a fist in the distance, landing on the shore.

And not far from the giant zombie monster, the “Living Weapon,” stood Ino, less than half its size… Their sizes were completely disproportionate.

Even so, Ino’s controller still chose to stay there.

If they escaped now, what would this deep-sea monstrosity become after it recovered?

By then, it wouldn’t just be “far exceeding B-rank,” but a true A-rank, in a completely unstoppable form.

Now, together, they still had a fighting chance. But if they ran this time, when the monster truly set foot on Japan in a few days, it would be a complete massacre.

Cross the Yellow Sea and flee to South Korea or China?

No Awakened could do that, not even him.

Whether for himself or for the remaining survivors in Japan, this battle had to be fought.

“We’re going back.” Gaishu looked up at Furukawa Hana.

“Finally acting like a Flashback leader.” Furukawa Hana smiled faintly, reached behind her, pulled out a bag of Blood Crystal Serum, bit a hole in it, and poured the liquid into her mouth.

“Since we’ve been paid, we have to complete the mission…”

…

[Please retain your evolution.]
[1. [Turbine Heart Pump Lv.1 (Purple): Evolves your heart into a giant heart that can be driven by blood crystals, which can store a large amount of blood crystal liquid and accelerate the transportation of stored blood crystals to any part of the body.]]
…

“Phew…”

Lin Jiayao leaned against the mattress, sitting up against the wooden headboard, and looked at the retain evolution interface, sighing with some regret.

Logging into a B-rank again after only a little over four hours wasn’t too much of a burden for Lin Jiayao, just a slight dizziness and distraction.

The plan to pick up the scraps had failed.

She would let Huayibai abandon that body after No. 5 was killed by the mostly recovered Living Weapon and she received the system compensation.

Actually, this island nation of Japan was already beyond saving. Lin Jiayao just wanted an A-rank corpse.

Even if this A-rank invasion was resolved this time, there were still more threats in the sea that would gradually approach this precarious island nation until it was completely swallowed.

The moment it was surrounded by the ocean, the fate of this island nation was already sealed.

It was just a pity about No. 5. If it could be transported back, even without logging in, it could be used as a large blood collection pump, so she wouldn’t have to use her own blood for treatment in the future.

Fortunately, she had already obtained all the golden evolutions from No. 5. It was just a pity that she couldn’t see No. 5’s A-rank form.

She was very grateful for No. 5’s contributions all along. People have their dreams, each with their own splendor!

Lin Jiayao chose the only purple evolution among the three, [Turbine Heart Pump], and felt a warm current surging from her heart.

Through the subtle perception of her own body, she could feel that the structure of her heart had completely changed. Through the images transmitted by Bone Spike Lurker, she even saw a motor-like device made of flesh and blood.

Besides the functions described by the system, she could even control her own heart rate, like a machine, and could instantly activate her body functions in a short time.

It was an unexpectedly practical ability.

“Yao? What’s the situation?” Her sister, who had been watching over her, sat beside her as soon as Lin Jiayao woke up, and only asked after Lin Jiayao opened her eyes.

Lin Jiayao looked at her concerned sister and shook her head regretfully, saying, “The A-rank’s recovery speed is much faster than I imagined. The plan failed.”

“I see…” Lin Xiwan leaned over and hugged her sister, comforting her, “It’s okay, it’s good that you’re not injured.”

Lin Jiayao might still care about gains and losses, but her sister only cared about her physical condition. As long as her sister was fine, everything was good for her.

After being hugged by her sister for a while, Lin Jiayao calculated the time in her mind. It was almost time for No. 5 to be attacked.

After resting for a while, she would go and “plant” the Black Stem Fungus, and also choose a secluded and safe place to dig a hole to store the brain-computer towers.

The new warehouse had also been upgraded, and she had to find time to see if there were any new buildings in the Hideout… There were still many things to do.

But before that, she had to tell Huayibai about what happened just now and let her find a safe place to stay.

Gently pushing her sister away, Lin Jiayao looked at Huayibai, who was lying beside her with her eyes closed, and reached out to gently push her shoulder.

“Huayibai.” Lin Jiayao called out.

The moment Lin Jiayao’s hand touched Huayibai’s shoulder, Huayibai opened her eyes and looked at her, but her expression seemed a little at a loss.

[⚠️No. 5 zombie [Unnamed] is under attack.]

Had it started?

Lin Jiayao ignored the system prompt that popped up.

What was the use of reminding her? She couldn’t log in and die, could she?

You’re on your own, system.

“What’s wrong, Huayibai?” Lin Jiayao touched Huayibai’s head. “Did something happen?”

Huayibai’s expression was written all over her face, as if something had happened over there.

“Mommy… they all jumped out of the car,” Huayibai seemed a little sad because she didn’t complete the mission, and said aggrievedly, “They wanted to break Huayibai’s bones, so Huayibai could only let them out.”

Mommy’s mission for her was to drive the flying car and take those “passengers” away safely.

But she didn’t expect that the car doors were welded shut, and the “passengers” directly tried to pry open the locks, which confused Huayibai.

“Jumped out of the car?” Lin Jiayao blinked, a bad feeling in her heart, and asked, “They’re not going back, are they?”

“Yes… they ran towards the place where the battle took place. Before that, they even said something like, ‘If we run this time, we won’t be able to win in the future’, ‘I don’t want to regret it after sinking to the bottom of the sea’…”

The more Huayibai spoke, the angrier she became, and she added angrily: “They are so stupid, why don’t they just fly to the continent? Even Huayibai can fly, they are so stupid.”

It seemed that in Huayibai’s mind, if even Huayibai could do something, and others couldn’t, then they must be stupid.

“Uh…” Lin Jiayao was silent for a moment, not knowing what to say.

She didn’t intend to let Huayibai persuade these people to leave. In fact, it was right for those people to choose to go back and continue fighting.

With No. 5, which was being carried by the system, this was their only chance to defeat the almost fully recovered “Living Weapon”. If they escaped this time, next time they might have to face the fully recovered Living Weapon, or even a fully recovered A-rank.

“What’s going on?” Lin Xiwan, who didn’t quite understand the situation, asked. Then, Lin Jiayao briefly explained the matter to her.

“Ah…” Lin Xiwan’s mouth opened slightly after learning about the situation in Japan, not knowing what to say for a moment.

So Japan was already in such dire straits?

Because China was relatively large, and they were now inland, after seeing the typhoon and rainstorm in Yangzhou, they basically had no concept of the threat from the sea.

Now, Lin Xiwan finally realized the seriousness of the problem… and China was also under attack, and it would eventually spread here.

What would they do then…?

“Then is there any other way? Yao…” Lin Xiwan looked at her sister and asked worriedly, “There are also seabed zombies landing in the South China Sea, right?… Do we also have to…”

“If that day really comes, we will definitely have to leave in advance.” Lin Jiayao nodded, then sighed softly, “Not necessarily, I’ll try again.”

Since those Japanese Awakened decided to go back and fight desperately, it wasn’t impossible to defeat the Living Weapon.

After all, it was only a small part of the A-rank’s body, not even half the size of the bone spur launched by the real A-rank. If they could find its weakness and seize the opportunity…

“Huayibai, you observe the battle from the air and share all the images and memories with me,” Lin Jiayao said quickly to Huayibai, “I’ll teach you what to do later.”

After Lin Jiayao finished speaking, a mycelium appeared in her hand, inserted into Huayibai’s body, ready to receive the image information transmitted by her spores.

“Sister, I’ll try to help them,” Lin Jiayao looked at her sister and said, “If we can get the A-rank’s corpse in advance, perhaps we won’t have to run.”

“Okay.” Lin Xiwan subconsciously straightened her back and held her breath.

She felt that she was experiencing an extraordinary moment… her sister was trying to save the survivors of a country.

In the future, if there was a future, this would definitely be an epic moment recorded in human history, and she was witnessing it all.

But at this time, Lin Jiayao, who was experiencing all of this, didn’t have her sister’s mentality.

She was only thinking about how to kill the Living Weapon and snatch that A-rank corpse.

In the training ground space, No. 5’s tall figure appeared again.

But this time, it wasn’t the half-human giant beast floating on the sea in front of it, but a more than seventy-meter-tall monstrous zombie with a humanoid upper body and a lower body like a crustacean.

Looking at the giant monster in front of her, Lin Jiayao vaguely felt something.

Its lower body didn’t seem to be for better standing or swimming, but for better locking onto something like a buckle…

Don’t ask Lin Jiayao how she knew, she had been stuck to her sister’s naked body like this when she used the healing Perfect Form before.

Lin Jiayao took a deep breath and directly simulated A4, controlling A4 to charge towards this monster.

Unlike before, she didn’t need to simulate any plans, she only needed to find the Living Weapon’s weaknesses that could be attacked.

After all, the battle in Japan was still going on simultaneously, and the situation was changing rapidly every second. What she could do was to find the weaknesses of the almost complete Living Weapon before their battle ended, and then let Huayibai relay the information.

With No. 5, which was being carried by the system, they wouldn’t even be able to last that long.

After doing her best, the rest was up to fate.

“Boom—”

The scales on A4’s back ejected a tail flame with lightning, and the sharp blade in its hand stabbed fiercely towards the jagged vertical eye on the monster’s head.
