Sickly Girl Doesn’t Die in Zombie Simulator 245

Chapter 245: Simulating A-Rank Goldie?

“Yao? You finally woke up…”

As Lin Jiayao was lost in thought, her sister, before her, spoke fluent Japanese.

“We have to leave quickly. We stole the Headshavers’ car, and they saw us. They won’t let us go.”

Japanese?

Headshavers?

Lin Jiayao looked around. It was still her room in Kun City, and Huayibai beside her seemed unaffected.

“Mama, пойдем! (Mommy, let’s go!)”

Huayibai swayed her white twintails and said with a smile.

But the Russian that came out of her mouth left Lin Jiayao stunned.

She understood it all… these were all fragments of her memories.

Lin Jiayao let her sister pick her up and carry her outside. A tall, familiar-looking Hive Zombie waited outside.

“Come back, Corn.” Her sister took out a bone fragment from somewhere, and the disgusting Corn Cob shattered into red light, being absorbed into the bone fragment.

This was…

Looking at the strange black and white sky outside, and the bizarre landscape of desert and oasis alternating with each step, Lin Jiayao frowned.

These were all scenes she had seen before.

These were all things extracted from her memories, jumbled and rearranged.

Since she realized this was a dream, it was easy to break free. She just needed to call…

“System.”

Lin Xiwan, holding Lin Jiayao, called out.

A familiar system interface appeared before her sister.

Lin Jiayao: “?”

No.

Even the Blue Serpent couldn’t detect the system from her short-term memory, how could it…?

“System.”

Lin Jiayao called out mentally.

“[During Descend, aside from consciousness switching, other system functions cannot be shared with the descended body.]”

A familiar system prompt box popped up before Lin Jiayao, slightly reassuring her.

During Descend…

So, her previous attempts to switch consciousness hadn’t been successful?

Returning to her main body, entering the training ground, switching opponents for the simulation… These were all just her imagination?

She was still in A4’s body and hadn’t left at all?

Had her commands not been properly conveyed to the system?

“Switch.”

Lin Jiayao gave the mental command while clicking on the real-world view in the upper left corner.

“Switch.”

Two consecutive commands, both ineffective. Even clicking didn’t work.

But she clearly just…

No, the system call just now might also have been her imagination…

Since it was all in her imagination…

Lin Jiayao struggled in her sister’s arms, rolling and falling to the ground.

Her sister’s strength didn’t even seem to be C-rank. Lin Jiayao easily broke free.

“Yao!” Her sister knelt beside her anxiously, trying to pick her up again.

Lin Jiayao pushed her sister’s hand away, bent her knees, and slowly stood up.

It worked.

She had to find a way out as soon as possible. Her consciousness seemed to be stuck, her commands unable to reach the system.

The worst-case scenario was being trapped here for over twenty hours until the system automatically ended the Descend.

Fortunately, she hadn’t seen too many things, and it wasn’t a being with mental abilities as its primary focus…

No wonder the Blue Serpent had her take the lead. The Blue Serpent’s abilities were likely related to mental manipulation, and the offspring were its natural counter.

Even a momentary disruption of its thinking during battle could be disastrous for the Blue Serpent.

So how could she get out of here…?

Lin Jiayao examined this chaotic, stitched-together world.

Was this a place similar to the training ground?

These simulated scenes, although derived from Lin Jiayao’s memories, didn’t consume her mental power.

Even the training ground consumed system processing power.

This meant that the illusions before her were consuming the mental power of some other blood crystal being.

Most likely the A-rank Sea Urchin itself.

In that case, Lin Jiayao’s thoughts became clear.

It was trying to trap her this way.

But it probably never considered that when it came to playing “training ground,” it was no match for Lin Jiayao.

Although not as convenient as the system’s training ground, Lin Jiayao had figured out the basic usage.

Anything she believed should exist, anything that seemed logical to her, would be twisted and manifested in this world.

In the training ground, the more things simulated, and the stronger the blood crystal, the more system processing power it consumed.

Simulating powerful blood crystals here, accumulating them infinitely, might consume a significant portion of its mental power.

Even overloading it wasn’t impossible.

Soon, Lin Jiayao began her first attempt.

“Goldie?” Lin Jiayao looked back. Her sister and Huayibai were gone.

In their place stood a little girl with a cold expression, wearing an oversized T-shirt and jacket, looking up at Lin Jiayao.

“For what?”

Goldie frowned slightly, seemingly impatient, but still replied in a childish, gruff voice.

She had successfully summoned Goldie…

It was like a lucid dream. With a single thought or a turn of her head, the object she firmly believed would appear before her would materialize, and it would seem perfectly reasonable.

So this was how Goldie appeared to others?

Without Hunting Rhythm, Goldie’s little face did show more micro-expressions.

“Create more bugs and eat the rest.” Lin Jiayao pointed behind her.

Goldie didn’t speak, but walked in the direction Lin Jiayao pointed.

Lin Jiayao’s gaze followed Goldie, watching as she reached a line of giant figures.

They were Inos, standing in a neat row.

The system couldn’t calculate what stages Goldie’s evolution required, or what it would become.

Then she would borrow the Sea Urchin’s processing power to calculate.

In Lin Jiayao’s vision, Goldie walked to Ino’s feet, and two black, hole-covered tentacles emerged from her shoulders.

The two tentacles extended and pierced Ino’s toes.

Instantly, starting from its toes, Ino’s purple skin bulged with densely packed bumps.

Perhaps because Ino’s blood itself had [Perfect Self-Healing], by the time these insect eggs spread to its thighs, the bumps on its toes had already burst open, releasing a swarm of flying insects.

After emerging, these flying insects immediately pounced on the next Ino, crawling over it, gnawing, laying eggs, and breeding a new batch of flying insects.

The flying insects generated from the two Inos quickly pounced on the next Ino, and from the holes in the skin of the first Ino, whose skin was covered in holes, dense swarms of insects continued to crawl out.

In just a few minutes, it had already devoured who knows how many giant Inos.

The entire space was filled with flying insects, blocking out the sky, emitting different lights.

After waiting for a few more minutes, until this entire space was almost filled with the bred flying insects, to the point where it seemed like even breathing would inhale insects.

“Goldie.” Lin Jiayao pushed aside the insects, pointed to the tentacles on Goldie’s shoulders, and said, “Retract the insects.”

This was Goldie, who had devoured the pseudo-A-rank brain, possessing powerful mental power.

If a large amount of Blood Crystals were injected into her body, what would happen?

Lin Jiayao stared intently at Goldie, watching as she was covered by the insect swarm.

A large number of flying insects entered her body through the hive tentacle on her back and her nose and mouth, but Goldie’s body didn’t expand.

It seemed that this amount was still normal for her and she could handle it.

After all, the amount of blood crystals in each flying insect could only be measured in grams.

Soon, after a large number of flying insects entered Goldie’s body, Goldie’s body finally began to change.

A new tentacle uncontrollably extended from her neck.

Before the new tentacle could even fully form, it was quickly covered by flying insects.

One… two… three…

Goldie could no longer maintain her human form, her body rapidly expanding.

But her expanding body only allowed more flying insects to enter, further accelerating the absorption rate.

Goldie’s face began to twist and deform, the originally human skin cracking, revealing the black eyeball beneath.

The eyeball…

“Rip—”
“Crack—”

Goldie’s face finally split open, and the eyeball inside began to rapidly expand, frantically devouring the surrounding flying insects.

The tentacles beneath the eyeball also became thicker and longer as they devoured the flying insects, their numbers increasing.

Soon, the eyeball was larger than Lin Jiayao’s main body, and it was still expanding, black and golden tentacles writhing and waving behind it.

Okay…

It could be simulated, much further than the system’s simulation, seemingly without any processing power limit.

In just a few minutes, a huge, terrifying black eyeball, waving its tentacles, stood before Lin Jiayao, and countless flying insects still swarmed towards it.

Scales began to appear on the originally smooth tentacles, and inside each open scale was a bottomless wormhole.

All the scales opened and closed like they were breathing, the densely packed holes even making Lin Jiayao’s skin crawl.

This wasn’t even its final form.

“Goldie, faster!”

Lin Jiayao smiled. Although Goldie was devouring a lot of flying insects now, it was still within the range that Lin Jiayao could produce.

She could use this simulation to figure out how many Blood Crystals Goldie needed to evolve.

The black eyeball rapidly expanded, and a golden, spiky, oval band of light appeared in the center of the pupil, like a pupil, constantly trembling and moving.

Like a human eyeball whose pupil was constantly shaking due to extreme pain.

As more and more flying insects entered, Goldie’s originally smooth pupil began to tremble, almost twisting into a spiral.

All the tentacles seemed to curl up together due to the pain, tightly surrounding the central eyeball.

But through the gaps between the tentacles, Lin Jiayao saw cracks appearing on the surface of the black eyeball…

“Goldie, put down your hands.”

To avoid missing any details, Lin Jiayao gave a direct command.

Goldie, seemingly in great pain, tremblingly lowered all her tentacles.

They were indeed cracks…

The smooth, glass-like black eyeball was cracking.

These cracks gradually spread and connected, expanding into larger cracks.

This giant eyeball, like an eggshell, began to shatter.

Through the larger cracks, Lin Jiayao could even see the terrifying blood-red light emanating from within.

Although she couldn’t feel the aura here, Lin Jiayao knew that what was gestating inside must be Goldie’s evolved form.

Countless insects were still diving down, accelerating the spread of the cracks.

At the same time, this entire world began to tremble, emitting an overwhelmed buzzing sound.

Through the dense hive, Lin Jiayao raised one eye and looked up.

The originally pieced-together sky began to shatter into light spots, which dissipated before landing.

This space was about to collapse.

Hold on! Sea Urchin!

There was a very apt analogy for Lin Jiayao’s current actions.

Her own supercomputer couldn’t be used for mining, so she went to someone else’s internet cafe to mine.

And the network administrator had even caught her, and she hadn’t even paid the internet fee.

“Just hold on a little longer…”

Lin Jiayao narrowed her eyes slightly, staring intently at the red light patterns on the shattering eyeball, as if trying to see through the secrets within.

Soon, the originally blood-red light patterns turned golden, and the tentacles all over Goldie’s body stopped twitching.

Here it comes!

At the same time, Lin Jiayao felt a huge repulsive force from her consciousness, as if it was about to eject her directly.

She could still hold on for a while longer.

“Crack—”
“Boom—!”

With the shattering of the largest crack, the entire world let out a terrifying wail, the shattered sky reflecting golden light.

The world paused for a moment, then collapsed.

Damn it! No!

She was so close to seeing what was inside, but this world had reached its computational limit and was about to collapse, which frustrated Lin Jiayao.

What was going on! She was so close to seeing it, couldn’t the Sea Urchin hold on for a little longer?

Lin Jiayao’s current mood was like reading a novel and reaching the most exciting part, only for the stupid author to end the chapter there, making her so angry that she wanted to bite something.

She wanted to punch the author.

Lin Jiayao’s vision was covered by a blurry golden light, but soon, the blurry feeling gradually faded.

Lin Jiayao heard the roar of her black scales ejecting and saw the huge golden eyeball less than a punch away from her.

So she had been floating in front of the eyeball all along and hadn’t been dragged inside.

And the originally worm-filled vertical pupil had also turned into a turbid brown, even a little unfocused.

The useless offspring and the Sea Urchin.

Lin Jiayao gritted her teeth, her right hand transforming from a fist into a claw, and abruptly pierced into the giant eyeball in front of her.

Let its flesh and blood compensate her.
