Sickly Girl Doesn’t Die in Zombie Simulator 242p2

Chapter 242: Hunting the A-Rank! p2

Lin Jiayao controlled the stitched-together centipede and slightly raised its head. From the top of its already open, round head, two extremely long whip tendrils wrapped with bone crystal threads emerged.

They looked like cockroach antennae.

These two flexible whip tendrils were used by Lin Jiayao to sweep and collect Blood Crystals and control other zombies. Throwing them out with bone threads wrapped around them was much faster than directly using bone threads.

The two drifting whip tendrils hung down from Lin Jiayao’s head, curving behind her and dragging on the ground, sweeping up the Blood Crystals precipitated from the dead zombies.

There were about ten of them, and Lin Jiayao let Mask devour them all, without putting them into the Safehouse.

Now A4 and Huayibai had already reached their devouring limit, and Goldie was also in a certain stage of evolution. It was time to nourish Mask’s body.

Since the new body was ready, let’s extract quickly.

Under Lin Jiayao’s control, the huge, strange centipede slightly lowered its body.

“Boom—”

Its curled legs suddenly kicked off the ground, and the huge stitched-together centipede shot out like a missile.

Its dozens of legs spread out, controlling the giant insect’s balance, and it actually glided in the air for a while, the two whip tendrils swaying elegantly with its movements.

This was even more outrageous than a giant cockroach flying.

“Boom—”

Before landing, it spread its legs and landed steadily on the ground.

“Click, clack, click, clack—”

Lin Jiayao swung its legs and quickly crawled, dust flying everywhere. It sprinted at a speed basically impossible for its size.

The wind blowing on its skull made Lin Jiayao slightly recall the feeling of controlling Mask’s single head before.

It was still more comfortable to run with many legs.

At this rapid speed, Lin Jiayao crawled along the highway towards the Helian Port Interchange Extraction Point, a hundred kilometers to the west.

This Extraction Point was directly north of A4’s Extraction Point. With A4’s influence, it would probably encounter fewer zombie hordes.

No wonder the system set the Extraction Point here.

The Extraction Point was getting closer and closer to Lin Jiayao, and its crawling speed was almost like flying close to the ground.

And when encountering obstacles like mountains, there was no need to detour. Its powerful jumping hind legs allowed it to jump on the mountains and glide for a longer time.

Without the burden of flesh and blood, Mask could make such a large creature run so fast.

It was estimated that Mask’s next Extraction Point would be at least 200 kilometers away, which was just right, so it could quickly leave the seaside and be stationed near Kun City sooner.

In less than half an hour, Lin Jiayao controlled Mask and crossed a distance of more than a hundred kilometers, even faster than the time it took to create the new body.

If only straight-line acceleration was considered, the stitched-together centipede’s body could already surpass A4 without using flame ejection or wings.

Along the way, Lin Jiayao also encountered quite a few C-rank zombies, but Lin Jiayao didn’t have time to deal with them now. Unless they bumped into her, Lin Jiayao didn’t deliberately hunt them.

After all, she had to save time, and she didn’t have Goldie’s large-scale hunting ability.

After arriving at the overpass Extraction Point, Lin Jiayao directly coiled up in the shadows under the overpass, as if treating this place as a giant insect’s nest.

[Extracting: 7.9]

Lin Jiayao quietly waited for the countdown to finish, and when the countdown was almost over, she directly switched her consciousness.

Because Mask wasn’t carrying anything, and the few Blood Crystals she had collected were also in the Safehouse, the system would directly skip the settlement interface for Lin Jiayao.

Switching directly like this could save Lin Jiayao a few seconds, just like frantically pressing alt+f4 while waiting for the settlement interface in a competitive game.

Extremely proficient.

Not long after Lin Jiayao opened her eyes, the retain evolution interface appeared as expected.

[1. [Ghost Swimmer Lv.1 (Gold): Allows your bones to perfectly integrate into any bones, and can conceal your aura.]]
[2. [Bone Spike Lurker Lv.Max (Gray): The range of Bone Spike Lurker is no longer limited, and the listening distance depends on the number of Blood Crystals invested (limit distance: 50km).]]
[3. [Boned Body Lv.Max (Purple): Turns your entire body into bones, greatly increasing defense.]]

Choosing 1 was definitely the right choice.

But what Lin Jiayao was more interested in was the Lv.Max Boned Body.

Which was to turn into a completely skeletal being like Mask?

For skeletal zombies, this evolution was indeed practical, and it could also be combined with [Ghost Swimmer] to form a combo, turning the entire body into bones and then drilling into someone else’s body.

That way, Lin Jiayao’s initial worry about not choosing Ghost Swimmer – that after the bones drilled in, the internal organs and muscles would be excluded – would also be dispelled.

Choose Ghost Swimmer first, and then choose Boned Body next time. After all, gold was harder to get than purple, this was common sense.

Lin Jiayao directly chose [Ghost Swimmer]. At this point, almost all of Mask’s golden evolutions had been taken by Lin Jiayao. The rest was to continue upgrading the golden evolutions or let Mask be promoted.

After she chose [Ghost Swimmer], there was no familiar warm current in her body, but it was as if she had sunk into icy stream water, and all the bones in her body were being washed.

Now, for Lin Jiayao, the function of [Ghost Swimmer] was not to casually move through other people’s bones like Mask, but for offense.

If she encountered an enemy with thick bone armor like the Living Weapon, Lin Jiayao could use [Ghost Swimmer] to pierce the enemy’s body with her bone sword.

The etherealized bones wouldn’t harm the opponent’s bones, but could cause substantial damage to the enemy’s internal organs.

This was like directly bypassing the armor and dealing “true damage”, which was very practical.

The disadvantage was that she couldn’t block, but this disadvantage would be compensated for by Divine Skin Armor.

Okay, next was to wait for Huayibai’s reminder. As long as the Blue Serpent arrived, it would inform Huayibai through its clone, and Huayibai would also inform her through her clone.

Although it was a bit roundabout, this “communication” speed was quite fast in the apocalypse.

The Blue Serpent’s main body was still in the sea outside Chiba Prefecture, almost three thousand kilometers away from the mouth of Yangzhou City in Guangnan Province.

Even if it started moving immediately after Lin Jiayao extracted from Ino, it was impossible for the Blue Serpent to arrive so quickly.

It had only been a day.

Even Huayibai, flying, took a few days to reach Tokyo.

The Blue Serpent’s size was so huge, and the larger the size, the more difficult it was to move at high speed. This was common sense.

Just as Lin Jiayao closed her eyes, preparing to go to the training ground to see if she could practice something, she suddenly felt her sleeve being gently pulled.

Lin Jiayao turned her head and saw Huayibai looking at her with wide eyes, asking:

“Mommy, Sister Blue Serpent said she’s almost here, and she asked if she should directly lure it away, or if the plan has changed.”

Lin Jiayao: “?”

Could this snake fly? Was it a fighter jet?

Although it did have wings, it was impossible for a creature of that size to fly.

Even the fastest sailfish in the sea only swam at 190 kilometers per hour. Even if its body was strengthened after zombification and it could maintain its limit for a long time, it couldn’t swim continuously for a whole day.

Let alone a Blue Serpent of such a huge size.

Although Lin Jiayao didn’t know how the Blue Serpent did it, she knew that it was time for her to make a decision.

Should she let the Blue Serpent directly lure that A-rank away and let it wreak havoc elsewhere? She could clear the zombies that had already landed, and use their Blood Crystals and flesh and blood to slowly nourish her logged-in zombies and develop for a while.

Or should she directly join forces with the Blue Serpent, use A4’s Descend, and directly kill that A-rank in the sea, eliminating the threat once and for all while obtaining an A-rank corpse?

Obviously, the latter was much more difficult.

At this moment, Lin Jiayao thought of many things.

The golden Spirit that required thousands of Blood Crystals, the Control Center that required hundreds of Blood Crystals, and other buildings that required dozens of Blood Crystals as a base.

The mountain-like A-rank flesh and blood, the mountain of Blood Crystals, the terrifying A-rank evolution…

“Huayibai, you help me ask the Blue Serpent,” Lin Jiayao slowly said to Huayibai, “You ask it, let it get rid of that spiky thing in the sea, how much confidence does it have?”

Huayibai nodded, waited for a while, and said:

“Sister Blue Serpent said there’s a 70% chance of both sides being seriously injured, a 20% chance of Sister Blue Serpent dying, and a 10% chance of killing it.”

Lin Jiayao took a slow breath and said, “You ask it… if I want to kill that spiky A-rank? I will fight with it, ask it if it’s willing.”

Huayibai closed her eyes to ask, and soon, she opened her eyes again and said, “It said it’s willing.”

“Then what’s the probability of us winning together?”

“Um…” Huayibai closed her eyes slightly, then nodded and opened her eyes, saying,

“Sister Blue Serpent said there’s a 70% chance of both sides being seriously injured, a 20% chance of Sister Blue Serpent and you dying, and a 10% chance of killing it.”

Good heavens, the probability hadn’t changed, only one more person, Lin Jiayao, would die.

Was the gap between A-rank and B-rank really that big? Lin Jiayao felt that A4 could completely withstand a Living Weapon, and if the system controlled it, it might even be able to kill the Living Weapon.

A4 had combat power.

“Help me ask the Blue Serpent, if we can’t win, can it escape by itself?”

“Sister Blue Serpent said yes.”

“Okay, if we can’t win, I’ll try to buy time for the Blue Serpent to escape.”

Lin Jiayao took a deep breath and said, “Let the Blue Serpent wait for me on the shore, far away from the A-rank. After it arrives, tell me the location.”

“Mommy… is Mommy going to fight? Take Huayibai with you, okay?… Huayibai can protect Mommy…”

Seemingly worried that Lin Jiayao was really going to risk her life, Huayibai disobeyed Lin Jiayao’s wishes for the first time and didn’t immediately relay the information to the Blue Serpent.

“No, Huayibai,” Lin Jiayao saw Huayibai’s worry, smiled and rubbed her little head, “It’s just a clone.”

Instead of directly luring the A-rank away, it was better to try using “Descend” with the Blue Serpent first.

If they lost, the plan would remain the same.

If they won…

They would directly take off.
