“So, it turns out your name is Hao Jian!”
Hao Jian just remembered that they didn’t seem to have introduced one another.
“My name is Lian Ru Ning, Lian Nishang, Ryu Yi Ru, Ningmeng” Lian Ru Ning introduced herself.
Although Hao Jian already know who Lian Ru Ning is, she still pretended she didn’t, “Oh, isn’t your sister called Lian Ru Meng?”
Lian Ru Ning was surprised, “How did you know?”
“You said earlier that you have a younger brother and a younger sister. You said your name ‘Ning’ in your name. Under normal circumstances, your brother and sister should also have a ‘Meng’ character.”
Lian Ru Ning thought it was fun to talk to Hao Jian. She deliberately didn’t think about the potential dangers outside. She smiled and asked, “Then can you guess what my brother’s name is?”
Seeing that Lian Ru Ning has no intention of sleeping anymore, Hao Jian casually responded, “He should be called Lian Ruji right?”
“You’re amazing, but it’s a civilized way of saying ‘ji’1 and not ‘be’ ” Lian Ru Ning explained, “But how did you know?” She started to doubt whether Hao Jian knew their home.
“Well, you intend to test me, so the names of you three siblings must be special. For example, your parents only intended to have one child and name them ‘Lemon’2 , but they had another child, so they will need another set of names. . . are your younger siblings twins? And do your parents love to eat ‘lemon chicken’?”
Lian Ru Ning widened her eyes in disbelief. She suddenly felt a chill run down her spine, wondering if Hao Jian really didn’t know her family.
“I’m right? Then go to sleep!” Even if Hao Jian couldn’t see her face, she could imagine Lian Ru Ning’s shocked expression, and her mood became a little lighter.
Lian Ru Ning was silent for a long time before she asked tentatively, “Then why did your parents give you that name?” Who would give a child a name like ‘Jian’.
“My name comes from a poem ‘Yuanyou Ling Dejie, written by Hua Jian.”
Only then did Lian Ru Ning react and asked, “Then why aren’t you called Hua Jian?”
“. . .” Hao Jian felt that the conversation would be endless and simply started to pretend sleeping.
Lian Ru Ning saw that Hao Jian hadn’t responded for a long time, but Hao Jian started drifting smoothly into her sleep. She felt that Hao Jian’s heart was so big that regardless of the chaos outside, she helped her so that they can sleep peacefully.
Lian Ru Ning’s eyes were still open while thinking about their situation for a long time. She was obviously very sleepy, but every time she closes her eyes and was about to fall asleep, she’s awakened by the terrifying dreams her brain is creating. Just so uncomfortably, when she couldn’t sleep at all, the sky outside was starting to brighten.
Hao Jian opened her eyes and met Lian Ru Ning eyes and quickly ‘hushed’. She then got up gently, peeping at the window. Lian Ru Ning followed Hao Jian and walked to the window like her and almost yelled out. Hao Jian quickly covered her mouth and said, “Don’t yell.”
Hao Jian saw two or three people who were starting to change their skin color but were still conscious. They called out to Hao Quan who was squatting in the corner, “Hao Quan, what are you doing here?”
Hao Quan suddenly came to his senses and stood up, looking at Hao Jian’s house. The two of them stepped back as they heard Hao Quan’s angry voice, “I’m looking for the Hao girl!”
“Isn’t there no one in this house?” Someone asked.
“She’s inside!” Hao Quan responded.
“What do you want her for?”
“She knows what happen to Hao Fang but she won’t tell me. I suspect she’s the one who caused it!” Hao Quan said in a gloomy tone, saying things to instigate others. With so many people gathering, Hao Jian couldn’t escape even if she wanted to escape!
Lian Ru Ning’s heart pounded like crazy and asked in a low voice, “What if they push all the blame to you and force themselves in?”
The so-called people are so powerful that it’s easy for so many of them to break into Hao Jian’s home, and they are more dangerous than being surrounded by zombies.
“Hao Jian, come out.” The people outside has already started yelling.
As these people called, more people came with the first two standing by the door shouting aggressively. They obviously heard what happen in Hao Fang’s house yesterday and decided to put the blame on Hao Jian.
Hao Jian asked Lian Ru Ning to pack up her things and stay in the room, she then walked to the balcony and asked nonchalantly, “Is there anything going on so early in the morning?”
“Hao Jian, why did you force me to open the door of Hao Fang’s house yesterday?” Hao Quan asked bitterly.
The corner of Hao Jian’s mouth twitched, “Why did I force you to open the door of his house? Where did you get the key to their house?”
Hao Quan stopped, then pointed at Hao Jian and said to everyone, “Hao Jian knows why Hao Fang became that monster, but she didn’t warn anyone, now Hao Fang bit us!”
“Miss Hao, although you often don’t come back, we still have the same surname and the same origin, why are you so cruel?” Someone accused dissatisfiedly.
“Anyone of you who has never been bitten or scratched, stay away from them. They will soon become the second Hao Fang.” Hao Jian reminded.
When everyone heard it, they looked at each other with little fear in their eyes, “Your expressions look like Hao Fang yesterday!”
“Don’t listen to her nonsense, get her out quickly and ask her what medicine can treat us!” Hao Quan pushed started pushing the courtyard door. After Hao Quan’s statement, some people started pushing as well.
“You’re breaking into my house without permission, I’ll call the police!” Hao Jian screamed and ran back into the room.
The courtyard door was slammed and collapsed that caused Hao Jian’s head to ache. If this continued, even the main door of the house wouldn’t last long. There is only a wooden stick in her hand and she can’t resist anything!”
“Host, it’s the seventh day since the zombie outbreak has been raised raised to level 3. For the sake of your mental and physical health, please start the survival mission and raise your level as soon as possible.” The voice of the system came out like stitches.
Hao Jian paused, watching Lian Ru Ning who had packed up her things. One side of Hao Jian was suspicious of the system while the other side was eager to survive. After deliberating, she asked the system, “The mission. . . how do I start it?”
“The host is willing?!” Although the system’s voice was robotic, it seemed very happy in Hao Jian’s ears.
“Say it.”
“Please bind your partner!”
“. . . Bound”
“Reading the binding love mission. . .” The system’s voice paused, and soon a new voice was heard, “Please use no less than three words to practice the host’s confession of love.”
Hao Jian looked at Lian Ru Ning abruptly, her brows frowned. Lian Ru Ning paid attention to the movement outside and when she heard them pushing the door of the house, her heart became more and more nervous, “What should we do?”
Hao Jian wondered, why was she embarrassed to confess? Should she just forget about it?
“Once the task is started, it cannot be cancelled.” The system reminded.
“Why didn’t you say that earlier?”
“The host didn’t ask.”
“Aren’t you obligated to remind me?”
“The system has no obligation to remind the host.”
Hao Jian was fuming. She didn’t want to ask, and she didn’t have time to ask the system what would happen if she didn’t continue the mission. Anyway, according to the shitty nature of the system, it wouldn’t be a good thing.
“Lian Ru Ning, I like you!” Hao Jian turned her head and confessed to Lian Ru Ning.
Lian Ru Ning looked at her with a confused look. trying to figure out if she has a fever. The situation outside is so dangerous and yet Hao Jian was still in the mood to confess, is this her last words?
“The binding love mission is (1/3) complete, please use no less than ten words to practice the host’s confession of love.”
Hao Jian had the urge to hit the system. What kind of mission is this?! Will the next task be a confession in twenty words?!
“I have been charmed by you for a long time now and I can’t stop thinking about you!” Hao Jian faced at Lian Ru Ning with an expressionless face, but her words carried rich emotions.
“. . .” Lian Ru Ning looked at Hao Jian, suddenly wanting to leave her and run away.
“The binding love mission is (2/3) complete, please use no less than twenty words to practice the host’s confession of love.”
Hao Jian knew it would end up like this, but after confessing twice, she got used to it, “I hope to propose to you, and hold your hands forever. The thought of us not flying together, causes me misery and ruin. . .”
“It’s less than twenty words.”
“Period!” Hao Jian gritted her teeth as she added the punctuation after the last sentence.
System: This is also ok?
“The binding love mission is (3/3) complete, Congratulations to the host for completing the binding love mission. The reward for this mission is; one latter and one crowbar.”

Upgrade conditions were not met.
Hao Jian came back to her senses, Lian Ru Ning was looking back at her for a while now. She remembered the measurements of Lian Ru Ning that the system mentioned and eyed her from head to toe.
It was unexpected and unnecessary!
“You. . .” Lian Ru Ning saw that Hao Jian finally stopped making an inexplicable confession.
Hao Jian instructed her, “You go up to the rooftop quietly and wait, don’t say anything.”
Lian Ru Ning nodded, and went out of the room to the stairs. The red brick building of Hao Jian’s house had a foundation meant for a five-story building, but only two floors were built. There was no fence on the rooftop and no one usually goes up.
Standing on the rooftop of the building, Lian Ru Ning could see some things nearby, but at this time, except for those who were making trouble in front of Hao Jian’s house, there was no one else around.
Lian Ru Ning waited for a while and saw Hao Jian carrying a ladder up. At the same time, she heard Hao Jian’s voice echoing on the second floor. Feeling unsure, she saw Hao Jian quietly lowering the ladder from the top of the building.
Behind Hao Jian’s house was the neighbor’s balcony, and the ladder could reach it.
“Is there no one on the other side?” Lian Ru Ning asked.
“That person hasn’t come back in two years, move away.” Hao Jian urged, only to hear Hao Quan cursing at Hao Jian in the yard.
Lian Ru Ning had participated in a mountaineering summer camp, so it wasn’t difficult to climb the ladder down to the neighbor’s balcony. When she climbed quietly, she helped Hao Jian put the ladder in place and waited for her to climb over.
The two had safely climbed down from the balcony on the second floor of the neighbor’s house. Fortunately, the neighbor’s house did not have a yard and there was a small road next to it. Hao Jian then quickly ran towards the small road together with Lian Ru Ning.
Lian Ru Ning only heard the door in Hao Jian’s house being broken down and her heart jumped wildly. She asked Hao Jian, “Why was your voice still inside the house?”
“I recorded an audio of myself and played it.” Hao Jian replied. Her heart was also beating like crazy, just like the time when she was scared when she played a first-person horror game for the first time that year. This exciting feeling of being able to escape, it’s really been a long time!
“They are all over the neighborhood, how can we escape?” Lian Ru Ning asked again, mainly because they weren’t able to take Hao Fang’s car away.
Ji means chicken Ning, Meng, Ningmeng all means lemon so yeah
