Sickly Girl Doesn’t Die in Zombie Simulator 258

Chapter 258: The Morgan Giant Dragon

“Ugh…”

In a space seemingly encased in carapace, yet drafty, a loud crash and tremors jolted the girl awake.

The girl, who had been unconscious, slowly opened her eyes, her gaze still hazy.

She could barely remember what had happened.

The only thing she remembered was that, in order to meet the messenger of the Ino God, she had entered the mouth of that terrifyingly powerful giant serpent.

Then, after seeing a flash of blue light, she had been overwhelmed by a seemingly endless sense of vertigo, which lasted until she mercifully lost consciousness.

Even in her unconsciousness, she dreamt of a terrifying zombie frantically churning her brain with bone spurs, her brain matter turned into mush.

Slowly, stimulated by the surrounding sounds and vibrations, she finally regained some awareness.

Where… was she…?

She slowly pushed herself up, trying to sit up.

But as soon as she did, she felt a chill, and the clothes on her body slipped off.

This chill instantly jolted her awake.

Her clothes… were gone.

Her slightly worn miko outfit was now draped over her like a blanket, and she was naked beneath it, except for a pair of cute panties.

For a moment, she forgot about where she was or why she was here, and quickly pulled the miko outfit around her, clutching it to her chest, a blush rising on her slightly angry face.

Although she didn’t know what had happened, she knew that she had been seen naked, and she didn’t even know who had seen her…

Had she been secretly kissed while unconscious?

Could she be pregnant?

She reached out with trembling hands, touched her flat lower abdomen, and gently rubbed it, but felt nothing.

After all, it was just her ordinary right hand, not an ultrasound or X-ray machine.

But she could confirm that besides her clothes being gone, there didn’t seem to be any other injuries on her body.

It was then that she realized that the place she was in seemed a bit unusual.

The space she was in seemed to be enclosed by several pieces of bone, but because of the fall from the sky, some of the bone pieces had been shattered, allowing her to see the outside.

She didn’t seem to be by the sea, but in a city enveloped by giant trees and numerous vines.

“How long have I been unconscious…” The girl muttered in fluent Japanese and tried to move her body slightly.

Except for the pain in her back and buttocks from the fall, she didn’t suffer any other injuries, because there seemed to be a layer of red fluff under her back, like a blanket.

This looked… like the giant insect that the Ino God’s daughter had transformed into.

To verify her guess, Kisaragi Mika put on her clothes in the dark space and pushed open the carapace shell above, crawling out of the somewhat cramped space.

“Huff… huff…”

Just this simple action made the girl pant. She supported herself with the carapace and looked at the space she had just been in.

This… the shape did look like the giant insect that the Ino God’s daughter had transformed into, but it was almost half the size.

“Are you… okay?” Kisaragi Mika tentatively shook the flying insect, but it didn’t react.

After several attempts, Kisaragi Mika finally gave up on trying to wake the flying insect and looked up at the city filled with damp mist.

Where… was this?

Was this China?

After taking a few steps forward, Kisaragi Mika didn’t feel any danger.

So, a pink light shone on her body, and her figure slowly rose, supported by the light.

“Whoosh—”

Her rising speed suddenly increased, and soon she had reached a height of two hundred meters. Kisaragi Mika looked around and quickly locked onto a direction.

She followed the direction the flapping-wing insect’s head was facing. This was the direction the flying insect wanted to take her.

Maybe… that was where the divine messenger was.

Through the morning sunlight, Kisaragi Mika could see that the direction the flying insect was facing was a villa area.

This villa area was clearly different from other areas. The roads in the villa area were not covered with any moss or vines and were very flat.

And the villa area was surrounded by walls made of vines, which looked orderly, completely different from the chaotic scene of intertwined trees and vines in other places.

There must be someone there… She just didn’t know why the flying insect that carried her had lost consciousness and “crashed”.

No matter what… she should go and take a look first.

Kisaragi Mika quickly flew towards the villa area and finally hovered above it, seeing a strange figure.

A little girl with a chain around her neck was walking around a villa in circles, step by step.

To Kisaragi Mika’s surprise, although she didn’t make any noise, the little girl with short, curly flaxen hair suddenly looked up in her direction.

B-rank.

Kisaragi Mika’s heart instantly lifted. She didn’t know if the other party was an enemy or a friend, and she didn’t know anything about this place in China.

She was worried that if she made any strange moves, it would bring her death.

No, she had to escape before the other party reacted.

Kisaragi Mika decisively turned around and flew away in the opposite direction at full speed.

She almost exhausted most of the blood crystals in her body, and the light on her body had already turned from pink to crimson. She finally flew out of this eerily quiet forest city.

But this place… seemed more like a human settlement.

As soon as she flew out of the forest, Kisaragi Mika saw a large area of farmland, and humans working on the land, chatting and playing cards in the squares and on the roads.

The orderly and self-sufficient scene made Kisaragi Mika subconsciously stop and look down curiously.

Self-sufficient through farming… This was something she couldn’t even imagine in Japan.

This meant that they had a large amount of stable and sufficient freshwater resources here, as well as a large area of arable land, and an organization that could provide protection for the farmland.

Below… was this her destination? Was the divine messenger here?

No, wait.

Kisaragi Mika quickly realized and quickly understood the structure of this organization.

Inside, in that villa area, there were at least two B-ranks active, and the entire urban forest was covered with the aura of blood crystals.

And outside, there wasn’t a single B-rank… It looked like a gathering place for the middle and lower classes of the former Ino Cult.

So, the divine messenger of the Ino God was in the place she just went to…

Kisaragi Mika looked in the direction of the urban forest, and no one was chasing after her.

The strongest below was only C-rank… she might as well find someone to ask.

When she was on the ship, she had asked a Chinese exchange student to teach her Chinese. That sister was very nice, and Kisaragi Mika also felt that she learned very quickly.

“Whoosh—”

Kisaragi Mika controlled her body and flew towards a woman who looked like a leader, surrounded by people.

“Sister Wanzi, what’s that above…?”

“I don’t know, it came out of the Oasis Area, it should also be a B-rank from the Oasis Area…”

“My god… how many B-ranks are there in the Oasis Area?”

“Don’t talk, she’s coming down.”

Wan Zi raised her hand and interrupted the others’ discussion.

The girl in the sky might be someone sent by the organization, so Wan Zi had to be cautious and couldn’t be careless.

But when the girl stopped in front of her, and Wan Zi took a step forward to introduce herself, she heard the girl in front of her look at her seriously and say haltingly:

“Big brother… big brother, happy new year!”

Instantly, the air froze.

Seeing the frozen expressions of the people in front of her, Kisaragi Mika panicked a little.

What’s wrong? Wasn’t this a greeting in Chinese?

Was it because she didn’t pronounce it correctly?

Kisaragi Mika carefully recalled, nodded slightly, took a deep breath, and said clearly:

“Big brother, big sister, happy new year!”

Wan Zi: “…”

Wan Zi: “Yo… yosi?” (TN: Japanese expression of agreement or understanding)

At this time, Wan Zi was almost breaking out in a cold sweat.

She couldn’t understand at all what this B-rank girl, who seemed to be a foreigner, from the Oasis Area wanted to do.

A test from the higher-ups? Or was there some important matter to arrange?

But they couldn’t communicate at all!

Besides the sentence “Big brother, big sister, happy new year!”, the girl in front of her only knew the sentence “Li Hao, I am Kisaragi Mika, please give me more chicken.” (TN: A nonsensical sentence likely based on misheard or misinterpreted Chinese phrases)

Although the girl’s efforts to speak Chinese were cute, it was completely impossible to communicate!

Wan Zi glanced at the second-in-command beside her, her eyes asking if there was anyone in the camp who understood Japanese.

The second-in-command also looked confused, but soon, he seemed to remember something, his eyes widening, and whispered:

“Right, I remember there was someone in the camp who still collected plastic figurines after the apocalypse… seemed to be called something like a two-dimensional person, I’ll go call her over, she should know a little Japanese.”

“Hurry up, hurry up.” Wan Zi urged quickly.

After seeing the second-in-command run away, Wan Zi turned to look at the girl, smiled, and gestured to her to wait.

But the girl didn’t seem to understand what she meant and continued to speak Chinese with effort.

“I want to find, Ino God, gentleman, thank you!” After saying that, the girl looked at Wan Zi expectantly.

But Wan Zi, listening to this completely inaccurate Chinese, and the inexplicable word “Ino”, was completely confused.

What did Ino God mean? And what was a gentleman? What did she want to do with a gentleman?

Just as Wan Zi was at a loss, the second-in-command, pulling a young woman with glasses, rushed to Wan Zi.

Kisaragi Mika, seeing a new person being brought over, thought that this was someone who could communicate, so she directly repeated what she just said.

“I want to find, Ino God, gentleman, thank you!” After saying that, Kisaragi Mika looked at the woman who was brought over expectantly again.

“Ino… God? Gentleman… what does that mean?” Wan Zi leaned close to the girl’s ear and asked softly.

“Ino… in Japanese, it seems to be a transliteration of wild boar,” the young woman said a little nervously, “Gentleman… in Japanese, it means pervert.”

Saying this, the more the young woman thought about it, the more she felt it was right, and she decisively said: “She’s scolding you, Sister Wanzi.”

Wan Zi: “…”

Why would someone say thank you while scolding? Were Japanese people so polite?

And the first sentence, “I want to find”, clearly meant looking for someone… It seemed that this young woman in front of her, her “translation” was not very accurate.

“Why don’t you ask her directly in Japanese?” Wan Zi asked tentatively.

“Okay…” The young woman nodded, looked at the girl in the miko costume again, and said, “Konnichiwa.”

“Hello!” Hearing the familiar Japanese, Kisaragi Mika finally breathed a sigh of relief and said in fluent Japanese, “That’s great, my Chinese isn’t very good yet, I almost thought we couldn’t communicate… I’m looking for the messenger of the Ino God, is she here?”

What Kisaragi Mika said almost overloaded the young woman’s brain CPU.

Although she loved watching anime, she really didn’t know Japanese, she only knew a few common phrases.

And what the girl opposite said was obviously beyond her level.

“I can only understand that she’s looking for someone… but I don’t know who she’s looking for…” The young woman turned to Wan Zi and said helplessly.

Just as everyone was at a loss, they suddenly heard a strange sound in the distance.

“Rumble…”

Along with the rumbling sound, there was also a slight tremor on the ground.

Was something struck by lightning and exploded? Or was it an earthquake?

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, but they didn’t see anything.

Soon, the tremors continued, and at the limit of their vision, at the end of the highway, Wan Zi saw a familiar sight, a moving crowd of heads…

“Horde! It’s a horde!!! Sound the alarm!!!” Wan Zi’s eyes widened, and she shouted quickly.

After being stunned for a moment, the second-in-command also quickly reacted and rushed towards the broadcast, pressing the air raid siren button.

“Woo—”

The loud air raid siren sounded, and everyone stopped what they were doing and ran towards the residential area in the Oasis Area, while the combatants quickly ran to Wan Zi and gathered.

These were all things that Wan Zi had practiced in advance.

And Wan Zi now finally understood why a B-rank from the Oasis Area came here… The people in the Oasis Area seemed to have known that a horde was coming, so they sent a B-rank to help them.

Why did the horde come at this time? She couldn’t remember how long it had been since she last saw a zombie. Soon, she knew why.

A convoy was speeding in front of the horde, and it was constantly approaching Kun City… it was that convoy that attracted the horde!

At this time, Kisaragi Mika, standing among the alert crowd, blinked with a dumbfounded look, and asked a soul-searching question in her heart.

Who am I? Where am I? What should I do?

Wasn’t she here to ask about the location of the Ino God’s messenger?

Whatever… the horde in front of her was approaching. Just relying on these people, they definitely couldn’t survive the horde. If she went, the chances of survival would be higher.

Just as Kisaragi Mika’s whole body lit up with red light, ready for battle, her pupils constricted slightly.

She saw, high in the sky in the distance, a “blood cloud” was rapidly approaching the horde and the city.

No, that wasn’t a cloud.

It was a huge, seemingly atmospheric creature, like the Morgan le Fay dragon in mythology, a terrifying scarlet creature, twisting its limbs and four wings as it flew high in the sky.

Its speed was extremely fast, instantly surpassing the horde on the highway below. When its terrifying figure enveloped the horde, all the zombies on the ground froze, then their bodies quickly withered and were devoured, falling to the ground in all directions.

In an instant, the horde disappeared, leaving only a scarlet mycelium blanket and mushroom field.

And that terrifying atmospheric creature, like an aerial jellyfish, with terrifying pressure, passed over everyone, flew into the green forest behind, its body rapidly shrinking, and disappeared.

As if it had never existed.

Everyone stood there dumbfounded, the terrifying pressure from the giant creature making everyone almost stop breathing. They still hadn’t recovered from the shock just now.

What… what creature was that…?

Were they all going to die?

Several minutes passed, and everyone was trembling, waiting for the end of the world, but no one was hurt.

“It… it,” a man with sunglasses and a fisherman’s hat, his right wrist missing, stood behind Wan Zi and stammered, “Is it also from your organization?”

No one answered his question, but after a while, after confirming that there was no movement in Kun City, and they were not harmed, they finally came back to their senses and murmured:

“It… it seems so.”

Just as Wan Zi turned around, wanting to find the girl who was glowing red, who seemed to be from the Oasis Area, and ask, the girl had already disappeared.

Not far away, the convoy that was originally being chased had also been frightened by the terrifying scene and stopped. They all got out of the car, looked at the “horde” that had turned into a mushroom field behind them, cried and laughed, and felt like they were going crazy.
