The system couldn’t answer Hao Jian’s questions about undiscovered experimental results, but it told Hao Jian, “According to the existing experiments, zombies, like humans, cannot evolve within a short period. That is to say, even if they evolve, they need a considerable amount of time and the right conditions.”
Hao Jian fully trusted the system when it came to these things. She was a little relieved but still harbored some doubts, “Then it seems that zombies actually can do a lot of things. The zombies we met before were like fanatical fans chasing their favorite idols when they arrive at the airport. Will there come a time where they won’t make a sound, just like now, and jump out all of a sudden for some autograph?”
What kind of lame analogy is that?
However, the system still understood and answered her, “Yes.”
Hao Jian’s slender fingers tapped on her arm as her thoughts on the matter became clearer, “If I think about it in reverse, you mentioned ‘existing experimental results’, meaning, since you’re a system, the central system has predicted that there will be advanced monsters in the future. The experimental results by then may be different from the existing ones, right?”
Hao Jian only had one purpose for saying such things, she believed that the system’s predictions isn’t false, but she still had some doubts. She believes that she should assess a lot of things. In this post-apocalyptic world, focusing only on the problem at hand and not thinking ahead isn’t much different from the walking dead.
The system doesn’t know why she suddenly asked such a sharp question, it didn’t even have the chance to answer it because Hao Jian was simply thinking on her own and didn’t intend to get any answers.
Lian Ru Ning had changed her clothes and come out. Her face was flushed and lowered her head as she ran towards the sink and washed her hands. Hao Jian then asked the system, “She kissed me just now, did you do something?”
“I hope the host will face reality, take the initiative, and stop asking me if there is something wrong with her.”
Hao Jian then suddenly smiled, “I realize that you don’t seem to be the same robotic entity as you were at the beginning. As an AI, you also seem to be one with human emotions.”
“. . .” The system stayed silent and decided not to pay any attention to her.

Lian Ru Ning looked up from the mirror and saw Hao Jian staring at her from the mirror. It wasn’t googling, but it made her heart speed up and skip a beat.
Hao Jian then approached her and said, “Next time, tell me what you want directly. I will find a way to get it for you.”
Lian Ru Ning’s words stuck in her throat for a while before she nodded her head. Although she doesn’t want to rely on Hao Jian, she also didn’t want her to worry about her, after all, what she did blew up in her face and Lian Ru Ning didn’t have the guts to do what she wanted to say.
But. . .
“If I want anything, you’ll find a way to get it?” She asked, “What if it’s you?”
The water’s continuous drip could be heard but Lian Ru Ning could still hear her own heartbeat.
She asked the question a little abruptly, but in fact, she didn’t want to hold back any longer after what happened today.
If the times were still peaceful, Lian Ru Ning wasn’t sure whether she would have the courage or think that it was a ‘hasty decision’. But at this moment, she could clearly feel the other’s feelings, so why would she continue to be ambiguous?
She occasionally wants to be frank and express her feelings.
Hao Jian was slightly surprised.
The only thing that was hidden beneath her surprised eyes was a fierce struggle of contradicting thoughts. Once she positively responds to Lian Ru Ning, she would be going against her original intention of hiding her feelings towards her from the bottom of her heart.
But there was a voice that was hitting her in the face,
‘What are you pretending for? If you really wanted to hide your feelings, you wouldn’t have treated her any differently and you wouldn’t have tried and seduced her over and over again.’
Just like that, Hao Jian gave Lian Ru Ning her answer.
She said, “Of course you can.”

The sound of water filled the room.
In the mirror on the sink, a girl with a thin figure and green hair tied into a ponytail was held the sink with one hand while the other wrapped around the waist of the person in front of her.
The person in front of her had long hair, revealing a pair of peach blossom eyes that were slightly filled with love. The girl wrapped one arm around the waist of the ponytailed girl while her other arm stretched towards the sink as her slender fingers turned the faucet shut.
In such an inconspicuous room, sounds of kisses echoed again and again as the pair couldn’t help but relive their sweet interactions.
Ignoring the notifications of bonus points and experience she keeps on receiving, Hao Jian parted the kiss with a smile, “Not bad.”
“. . .” Lian Ru Ning slightly gasped for air but saw Hao Jian stretch her hand and wipe her lips. Her action broke the pink atmosphere between the two.
Lian Ru Ning was still a little confused as she didn’t expect that she’d experience her first kiss like that, not to mention it was a kiss that happened seven times.
She was so shy and yet. . . why does Hao Jian look like an old driver1?
Hao Jian didn’t know what she was thinking but at this time, Lian Ru Ning looked at her with expectant eyes. Hao Jian then frowned slightly, “Don’t look at me like I’m an old driver. Although I have been in love once, it’s all during my rebellious phase and I didn’t do anything that crossed the line.”
Lian Ru Ning thought that she had to give up on love to study while Hao Jian, who had been in love once during her rebellious phase, could actually be admitted to Southern City University. She couldn’t help but feel defeated. . . People who’re really gifted are deadly!
Hao Jian pulled her hand and coyly said, “And I always feel like this wasn’t the first time we kissed.”
Lian Ru Ning was still thinking about the fact that her brain and learning ability isn’t as good as Hao Jian’s, but when she heard that, she bit her lop and said mercilessly, “You’ve been having spring-filled dreams!”
Hao Jian thought for a while and replied, “That means I like you so much that it makes me dream about you, doesn’t it?”
Lian Ru Ning felt that she couldn’t let herself lose against her once again and retorted, “You’ve also been in my dreams many times as well!”
Only after saying that did she understand the context of their conversation. She then quickly realized the meaning of Hao Jian’s odd look before she pushed Hao Jian out of the way while blushing and walked out, saying “I meant normal dreams! Not spring-filled dreams!”
“Well, I understand.” Hao Jian nodded.
But you don’t seem to understand at all!
“. . .”

Once the two exited the bathroom, they met Peng Mao and the others who came back from scouting, he then said, “We didn’t see any walkers nearby.”
Hao Jian nodded, “We’ll only stay here for the night and there must be someone on duty to be a lookout for the night. Be ready to evacuate at any time.”
Thinking about the two zombies’ strange appearance, she reminded the group, “Pay special attention to a zombie that doesn’t let out an excited cry when it sees a living person at night.”
At this time Shi Gong Dui asked. “What happened just now? Where did the gunshots come from?”
Although Peng Mao and Xin Ting didn’t see Chen Zhen giving Hao Jian a pistol, they knew that Hao Jian knew a lot of powerful people so they didn’t doubt why she had a gun.
“A friend gave it to me to save my life.” Hao Jian responded.
Shi Gong Dui didn’t ask questions any further, after all, having a gun naturally is the best, providing more ways to protect one’s life. It also indirectly proved Hao Jian’s ability is indeed great.
The fact that a gun isn’t something one can hide from the military but wasn’t confiscated means that her identity is safe and reliable.
“The two zombies in the convenience store just now were different from most of the walkers we encountered before. They didn’t make a sound when they approached, so you need to know how dangerous it would be for such a zombie to move at night.”
Peng Mao and the others took a deep breath. They used to think that when zombies see living people, they would act like wild animals that have found their prey and make a lot of noise. If it was really like what Hao Jian said, then their existence would undoubtedly add another layer of danger at night.
“Damn, why won’t all of these zombies die of hunger?!” Peng Mao cursed.
“Forget about that for now. Go around and search to see if there are some remaining supplies.”
After deligating some tasks, Hao Jian, as always, searched the convenience store with Lian Ru Ning while Xin Ting and Shi Gong Dui searched the building next to it. Peng Mao took the walkie-talkie and binoculars to scout the entire area.
After her earlier experience, Lian Ru Ning is now extremely vigilant.
Hao Jian took her hand, making Lian Ru Ning startled and suspiciously look at her.
“I’m here.”
Lian Ru Ning’s eyes went hot that she was on the brink of tears, but she had already shed enough of them just now and didn’t want to cry again. So she held her tears back.
With Hao Jian’s warm hands in hers, Lian Ru Ning slowly relaxed.
There are still supplies left in the rest stop, but they were mostly tissues, cigarettes, and other things that can’t be eaten and aren’t particularly needed. But they didn’t mind, they placed anything and everything useful in their backpacks.
Lian Ru Ning also found a pack of disposable underwear with three pieces inside. Although the packaging and style are different from what Hao Jian gave her, she still found a reasonable explanation about them.
After shopping around and reuniting, Xin Ting was holding a bunch of plastic bags while Shi Gong Dui’s backpack was filled to the brim once again. He looked at the empty-handed Hao Jian and Lian Ru Ning before asking, “What about you guys, did you find something on your side?”
“Found some supplies for daily necessities, and you?”
“Our building was filled with fast food shops. It was hard to find a few bags of meatballs and hot dogs, but most were expired already. I suspect that these unscrupulous merchants were originally selling expired food, however, most of them are only half a month past their due dates so we should still be able to eat them, right?” Shi Gong Dui said.
“. . . No, you can eat them yourself. I happened to find a few cans of eight-treasure porridge at the convenience store as well as some dried purple cabbage and dried mushrooms from the specialty store.” Hao Jian said.
“We’re not near the sea, so why are these people using dried purple cabbage as a specialty?!” Shi Gong Dui sighed as his thoughts relaxed.
Of course, apart from finding rolls of plastic bags and expired food, they also found a lot of useful things such as; a few lighters, half a small bag of soybeans, a few pounds of flour, and a few eggs.
Not to mention whether the food items have already expired or started to spoil, the important thing is that the materials they found were quite a morale booster.
“Moreover, the fast-food restaurants have some staff quarters where we can spend the night.” Xin Ting was excited about the discovery as there was also some air-conditioning there. After all, the people searching for supplies couldn’t take the air-conditioning with them so the group could spend the night with a cool breeze if there was some electricity.
After calling Peng Mao over, the group arranged their respective assignments. Peng Mao, as always, would be on guard duty first while Xin Ting was responsible for finding a place to cook dinner. Hao Jian, Lian Ru Ning, and Shi Gong Dui went to sleep ahead while waiting for their turn for guard duty.
However, Shi Gong Dui wasn’t sleepy yet so he found a place to set up his equipment and fiddled with it for a while. He then went to bed after eating his share of porridge and Xin Ting’s hodgepodge of dried purple cabbage and dried mushrooms.
Although there is an air conditioner, it made a clicking sound as soon as it was turned on and its cooling didn’t work well and often malfunctioned. Shi Gong Dui didn’t expect the air-conditioning to function any further so he took his clothes of and went to sleep.
Hao Jian and Lian Ru Ning still slept in one room. They planned to eat once they weak up as Xin Ting set aside a portion for them during her cooking.
At the end of the day, Xin Ting sat on the chair and was a little startled at what she saw.
After turning her eyes slightly, she could see Peng Mao sitting on the roof of a broken car and was occasionally glancing at her. When she walked over, Peng Mao said, “Look at the colorful haze in the sky.”
Xin Ting looked up and in the western side of the sky above, the clouds looked like they were dyed with red.
Peng Mao suddenly asked, “Actually, I think Hao Jian adn Lian Ru Ning have always been in such tacit understanding. Their relationship must be extraordinary.”
Xin Ting was slightly surprised and then nodded. In fact, she also understood that there was no place for a third person to get in between Hao Jian and Lian Ru Ning. She was only afraid of being alone and being lonely, so she tried to convince herself that she can rely on Hao Jian.
However, Hao Jian told her at the very beginning that she she can’t depend on anyone else aside from herself.
She felt that she had lost her love, but it wasn’t as hard as she thought and for a while, she didn’t know whether her feelings for Hao Jian was indeed love.
Peng Mao was still gossiping with her on the side. She returned to her senses and stopped thinking about complicated matters. Wouldn’t the more important thing for her to do right now is to improve her strength and ability to survive?
It means one is experienced.
The system couldn’t answer Hao Jian’s questions about undiscovered experimental results, but it told Hao Jian, “According to the existing experiments, zombies, like humans, cannot evolve within a short period. That is to say, even if they evolve, they need a considerable amount of time and the right conditions.”
