Chapter 68

After brutally beating the bald, muscular man to the point of unconsciousness, Lin Yifan flicked his handcuffs and "click" cuffed the man's thick arm. The massive, bald, muscular man then turned into specks of starlight, dispersing into the dimly lit street.

【Objective completed: Capture the raging zombie. The School Life Apocalypse world will reset in thirty minutes. Do you wish to leave?】

Subconsciously, he said he would leave, but at that moment, Miyamoto Rei ran out from a corner.

"Hey! Are you okay?" Miyamoto Rei was somewhat afraid, as Lin Yifan, radiating a fierce aura, was even more terrifying than a zombie.

The bald, muscular man beneath him dissipated, and Lin Yifan's legs landed on the ground. He lifted his head and glanced at her: "Huh!?"

A single "Huh" made Miyamoto Rei take a few steps back. The aggressive aura was so terrifying that it chilled her to the bone.

His head was swollen with ghostly energy, but when he saw Miyamoto Rei's frightened expression, Lin Yifan gradually calmed down. He moved his lips: "Ghost transformation解除."

His rough skin regained its luster, and the flickering blue ghost fire rose from his body, fluttering into the sky like butterflies.

He exhaled a long breath of ghostly energy, and the agitation inside him vanished completely, his mind gradually cooling down.

Miyamoto Rei, holding a gun, felt a bit of fear. Just now, Lin Yifan's violent state looked like he was about to tear apart anyone who approached.

Lin Yifan stretched his neck, feeling his body was quite stiff. After ghost transformation, his body became hard and cold, and he felt quite tired once the state was lifted.

Miyamoto Rei remained silent, both afraid and unwilling to leave, standing uneasily to the side.

After stretching, Lin Yifan saw Miyamoto Rei still standing there and couldn't help but ask, "Why did you come back? Didn't I tell you to leave?"

"But... I don't know where to go, I can only follow you," Miyamoto Rei lowered her head, feeling a bit wronged.

Lin Yifan originally wanted to leave, but seeing Miyamoto Rei and the approaching zombie horde in the distance, he could only shake his head and say, "Forget it, I'll take you inside. There are only twenty minutes left before the world resets."

Lin Yifan leaned against the wall and gestured for Miyamoto Rei to step on him.

This time, he placed his backpack on the ground as a stepping stone, making it easier to climb up.

After Miyamoto Rei climbed over the wall, she reached out to pull Lin Yifan up.

The two struggled to climb over the wall. When Lin Yifan stepped onto the wall, Miyamoto Rei, who was pulling him, lost her balance and pulled him down onto the lawn.

The wall wasn't high, and there was grass, so they didn't get hurt, but Lin Yifan felt a bit helpless. He saw his hand on a certain part of her body, and Miyamoto Rei, lying beneath him, blushed.

Lin Yifan calmly acted as if nothing had happened, taking Miyamoto Rei's small hand: "Let's go, I'll take you inside, and that's it."

He took Miyamoto Rei to an apartment with high walls, where zombies couldn't enter within twenty minutes.

"Okay..."

Miyamoto Rei nodded, being led by Lin Yifan to the door.

Since he had been to Nan Rixiang's house before, Lin Yifan knew the way. He found the key under the carpet and opened the door.

Pushing the door open, he saw the empty room, while Miyamoto Rei kept her head down, silent.

Feeling a bit stiff, Lin Yifan glanced at the bathroom, deciding to enjoy Nan Rixiang's bathtub. The power and water supply were still on, so taking a hot bath before leaving was fine.

"You do as you please, I'm going to take a shower."

He walked to the bathroom, taking off his clothes as he went. The scene, with a man and a woman alone at night, made Miyamoto Rei's already flushed face even redder.

Sitting in the living room, Miyamoto Rei occasionally glanced at the bathroom. The silhouette behind the glass was not very clear, but she could make out the general shape.

Miyamoto Rei gradually relaxed inside the house, feeling a sense of security.

In this world of the apocalypse, who could she rely on for the future?

Miyamoto Rei didn't know what Lin Yifan meant by twenty minutes or what a reset was.

From the afternoon until now, she had already gotten used to blindly following. As long as she followed Lin Yifan, she could survive. At least, he always saved her.

Sitting in the living room, Miyamoto Rei began to think unconsciously. Would the two of them end up staying together in the apocalypse, relying on each other?

The two... relying on each other...

After this thought flashed through her mind, Miyamoto Rei shook her head a few times, muttering, "What am I thinking? We barely know each other for half a day, how can I be so shameless..."

Miyamoto Rei, still in a daze, suddenly heard the sound of water, apparently Lin Yifan was getting out of the bathtub.

After a nice hot bath, which eased the stiffness from the ghost transformation, Lin Yifan, looking lazy, wrapped in a towel, walked out of the bathroom and pointed behind him: "I've prepared the hot water for you, go take a shower. I just smelled it, the blood and strange smell on your body must be quite unpleasant."

Miyamoto Rei, still in a daze, blushed and buried her face between her legs: "That's... so impolite, to say such things..."

"Huh? I was talking about myself, I didn't smell you."

Lin Yifan's words made Miyamoto Rei's entire face turn red, her head almost steaming as she ran into the bathroom.

Inside the bathroom, she closed the door and bit her lip, muttering, "He must be doing it on purpose, making fun of me and making me look foolish..."

Miyamoto Rei looked back at the bathtub and smelled herself. Indeed, the smell was as Lin Yifan said, quite unpleasant.

Putting down her gun, Miyamoto Rei locked the bathroom door and took off her clothes, stepping into the bathtub.

She tied up her hair and submerged her entire body in the water, except for her head. The warm water enveloped her, making her feel comfortable and relaxed after a day of fear.

With her eyes closed, Miyamoto Rei unintentionally caught a whiff of Lin Yifan's scent, and a scene flashed through her mind.

She was naked, being held in Lin Yifan's arms.

This scene made Miyamoto Rei open her eyes in shock, realizing it was just her imagination. The bathtub still had Lin Yifan's scent from his use.

Sitting in the water, Miyamoto Rei hugged her knees, savoring the scene.

Lin Yifan, outside the bathroom, had no idea what Miyamoto Rei was thinking. He put on his clothes, equipped his gear, and inserted his short knife into the sheath, preparing to leave.

Just as he was about to leave, he saw the bathroom door was still lit and thought for a moment before saying, "By the way, I'm about to leave. Be careful."

Sitting in the bathtub, feeling the warmth of the hot water, Miyamoto Rei suddenly heard Lin Yifan saying he was leaving. She instantly stood up from the bathtub: "Wait!"

Miyamoto Rei, in a daze, looked around, grabbed a towel, and ran out.

"Wait, don't go! Don't leave me... don't... don't leave me alone, I'm scared..."

Miyamoto Rei, who suddenly rushed out, didn't even wrap the towel around her, just held it in front of her chest.

"You... are..."

Lin Yifan, dumbfounded, looked at Miyamoto Rei. This appearance, wasn't it tempting him to commit a crime!

But then he saw Miyamoto Rei come closer, her eyes brimming with tears: "They're all dead, can you bear to... leave me alone?"

Lin Yifan originally wanted to explain that the world would reset soon, but seeing Miyamoto Rei's pitiful appearance, he couldn't speak for a moment. More importantly... she wasn't covering herself well.

He glanced down and swallowed.

Miyamoto Rei, seeing Lin Yifan's silence, suddenly remembered the handcuffs!

Taking advantage of Lin Yifan's distraction, Miyamoto Rei grabbed the handcuffs and cuffed her own arm!

The "click" sound startled Lin Yifan. The almost naked Miyamoto Rei disappeared right in front of him.

"Damn? Can they handcuff themselves and be taken away?"

Seeing this, Lin Yifan first thought of the problem, not that Miyamoto Rei was taken away, but that the characters could be taken away by handcuffing themselves!

Lin Yifan was curious, could he handcuff himself and forcibly leave the cycle?

The answer was clearly—no.

When the handcuffs were on Lin Yifan's arm, they had no effect on him.

"It seems trying to exploit loopholes won't work. If I handcuffed myself, I could forcibly leave the mission, but that's not practical."

After the experiment failed, Lin Yifan started thinking about Miyamoto Rei's problem.

In fact, there wasn't much to think about. She was already gone, and he couldn't just leave her. It was just one more person to take care of, and he could manage!

Taking a deep breath, everything was over, and there was no one else he wanted to take with him.

He silently said, "End the cycle."

Lin Yifan's surroundings began to distort, the dimly lit room spinning and turning into a mass of colors.

When he regained consciousness, he was back in the cold prison area, with over twenty people around him, and... the naked Miyamoto Rei.
