LET’S SUR/VI/VE: 001
”Am I… in a dream?” Xu Yang looked at these pair of pale, human hands in front of her and was somewhat dazed. No, no, Zombis don’t dream.
As she was thinking about it, those memories swept over again. Oh, her crystal nucleus were ripped out of her head, and she was dead.
Xu Yang remembered the mercenaries’ very disgusted look at her 1★ crystal nucleus core. Yeah, how could a sentient, hiding zombie turned out to be a 1★ zombie? Even Xu Yang herself found it funny.
It’s ridiculous. At the beginning of the end of the world, she was just a college student who had never seen the world, and at that time, she had her honest uncle, her kind and loving aunt, and her classmates, all of whom were very much united to survive together.
Although it was very thrilling, but for Xu Yang… It was one of the best moments of her life.
Everything changed since the emergence of the “Abilities”. Humans began to be graded, and this hierarchy was harsher than the ones in any period, with ordinary people- “Ordinaries” were treated like an ant and the Abilities being on the top of the Pyramid . Ordinaries who cannot evolve is graded as weak and inferior.
What has Xu Yang, an ordinary female college student, suffered? As an Ordinaries, she has experienced all kinds of suffering. The Ordinaries ended up being thrown out of the base as rotten meat, and the “lucky” ones won’t get eaten by the zombies, and will be turned into zombies. 1★ zombie, the weakest and trashiest cannon fodder.
At this point, her consciousness felt more of a pain in the ass. As Xu Yang wandered aimlessly, she often wondered why she still retained that dark memory in the base. Why was it that even after she became a zombie, she’s a 1★ zombie and couldn’t evolve? Why keep her “alive” like this. Why should fate, if it didn’t pity her, making such a big joke with her, playing her life and let her struggle without relief?
It was then when Xu Yang realized that there was no salvation in the world.
Everything is hypocrisy.
Then, as a zombie, she also died.
But… she seemed to be alive again!?
And what kind of a joke is this? What kind of play does the God of Fate want her to act? Haven’t They seen enough of her struggle and pain in the last life? Xu Yang laughed to herself and clenched her fists, she was breathing, she had body temperature, she had a heartbeat, she was able to laugh and cry, she was even able to talk instead of roaring like a zombie… This feeling had come back to her after many years, and Xu Yang adapted extremely quickly without the slightest discomfort. Maybe it’s her instinct?
What does it mean to be reborn? Can she change her life?
【Loading module…】
【Finding the Master is in progress…】
【Updating profile is in progress…】
【Completed.】
The unfamilier and weird notification sound suddenly rang out before it disappeared. Xu Yang was really at a loss, what was that?
【Unlock Countdown: 12:20:33】
The final countdown was still decreasing. Is that a countdown? Xu Yang recalled the time when the end of the world came, she opened her mobile phone hesitantly to check, today was… July 3, 2022. Yes, yes… it was during a summer vacation, she decided to stay in school’s dorm to work part time, and her roommates all went back, so she was alone in the dorm room, the end of the world started at night, and as soon as she woke up, everything has changed.
On the post-apocalypse world, ones not only had to worry about human infection and post-mortem zombification, but also had to worry about biological mutations and unknown creatures, etc., they were all threats. Although wars would also break out between those creatures, humans… ordinary humans without any abilities were placed at the bottom of the food chain.
Why did she remember so many things? She didn’t have such a good memory after being turned into a zombie… Xu Yang didn’t understand, and didn’t bother to care. She made an effort to trigger herself to remember important things from her past life that will come to her.
Once again, she will be facing the end times.
Xu Yang thought, she… will try to struggle better than before.
She immediately packed up and organized her clothes and throwing out all the spring and fall clothes that won’t be used. The end times are extremely climatic, with only extreme heat and cold winters. She didn’t dare to bring much, Xu Yang tucked her stuff into her backpack and put it on the bed, then took her phone out to eat and pick up some necessities.
It’s only twelve hours, so it doesn’t matter if the money is all used up.
Zombies had no sense of taste nor pain. It was when Xu Yang casually bought a small wonton and she ate it straight away that her tongue got numb from the heat. Still, the taste of this wonton surprised her. Ah, she’s now human again….
Xu Yang inhaled, hesitantly blew out the heat of the wontons, and slowly began to eat them. In the foggy atmosphere, she was smothered, her eyes turned red, at first she choked, and then she cried until she lost her voice.
She was, turned into, a human being, again.
Let’s survive.
Xu Yang bought a few boxes of chocolates, bought cookies, and brought a bottle of mineral water. She didn’t want to stay in one place more nor wait for rescue, so everything was light. An Ordinaries could deal with the initial zombies just fine.
Xu Yang was no longer willing to go through the events she had faced on the last life, not anymore. Because you would never know when someone who has treated you extremely well will change their face on the next second… maybe not change their face, they just take off their fake kindness mask.
A backpack with a little food and clothing, and a bottle of mineral water. She also brought a brand new Caidao.[1] The knife was placed in Xu Yang’s bag, and she was wearing a coat with a small fruit knife[2] tucked in her pocket. After all, it was a little too eye-catching if she straight out bringing out a Cai Dao.
Let’s survive.
Xu Yang thought to herself.
She watched that countdown, jumping from five seconds to four, then three….
【Successfully Unlocked.】
The end of the world is coming.
Nothing has changed. Xu Yang was waiting for the next hint from that mysterious voice.
【Panel Loading…】
Master : Xu Yang (Summoner)
Level : 0
Skill point : 0
A very simple panel, almost nothing, no points, no mall… This transparent panel just dangled in front of her for a moment, then she turned to looked at a translucent word hidden below the status.
She noticed this was the skill panel. But the word skill was still dark, it couldn’t be opened. On top of it, there was the task column, which was empty, no explanation and hints. Xu Yang tried to call out to the mysterious voice, but there was no response, as if it never existed.
‘Is it not an intelligent system?’ In her distant memory, Xu Yang used to read novels, where the system would be full of emotions and would nag at the Host and they will have a good time. But her own system is clearly very backward. ‘What even is the skill point and task for without the mall?’
‘Summoner?’ Xu Yang smiled, what hadn’t triggered didn’t matter for her, in the end, it was all up to her. After making sure her dormitory room’s door was locked, Xu Yang climbed into bed and tucked herself under her covers.
–It was the first time she had slept in so many years. After all, what zombie would sleep?
In the next morning, Xu Yang got up early. She took a shower before changing her clothes and carrying her packed bag out the door. Her school’s dorm gate was made of wood, so if the zombies came, there was nothing she could hold against them, so sje might as well go out and leave.
On the first day of the end of the world, many people didn’t know what was happening yet, much less what they were about to face. Xu Yang opened her mobile phone, created and account, and posted about the end of the world. She didn’t do it with the slightest expectation that those people would see it and take precautions, she just hoped that those people who encountered the zombiess would have remembered of her words about the end of the world coming and wpi;d be able to relate to their current situation more quickly. After doing such thing, Xu Yang felt that she had paid back those who had helped her in the early days of the end of the world. She walked slowly with a large bag on her back to the pharmacy and bought some cold and anti-inflammatory medicine, as well as some ointments and bandages; she didn’t buy much, because it wouldn’t fit on her backpack.
After everything was ready, Xu Yang went to the river. Her bag was set aside and she sat on the ground by the river herself, alone, watching the torrents of water. She sat from afternoon until dusk, the setting sun casting her long shadows. Xu Yangyang closed her eyes, the weather was comfortable at this time. After dusk, it’s not too hot.
Not far away, she heard an argument, so Xu Yang got up and moved her stiff body, the sound from her skeletal movement was unfamiliar, but it gave her a feeling of being alive.
Xu Yang loved hearing it.
With her bag on her back, she passed the center of an argument surrounded by a large crowd, and she heard that that a man suddenly went crazy and caught the passerby before bitting him, biting off his ear, many people were busy pulling him away but the man was very strong. The patrolling police quickly arrived to subdue the men and disperse the crowd.
Xu Yang looked at it and left, not saying anything.
”The end of the world coming…….”
Initially, if one person is infected it means a hundred people were going to be infected. Then it spreads with the speed of a plague, and terrified everyone.
Xu Yang recalled that in her past life, the government had been covering it up, trying tjeor best to protect the people and appease them, but it was of little use. The zombies infestation spread too quickly, and soon the bustling city was turned into a dead city that the army could hardly clean. This life would also…. pretty much be the same.
Xu Yang had bought a ticket and was going to go to the countryside. Those remote places where the land is sparsely populated should be safe at first. After all, those mutated and unknown creatures were only slowly emerging later. Everything has a process, either fast or slow. And what will happen to humans, it will happen very fast. As for the reason for taking the railroad car[3], it’s just that it’s good to get off in the middle of the journey, different than mode of transport such as airplanes and high speed trains, so it’s better to escape in case she sense a disturbance in one of the carriage if she takes a long journey.
No one in the railroad car was infected, but there was an earthquake on the way. More earthquakes happened in the end of the world and many people were frightened. Xu Yang had no family to worry about, so she felt slightly touched as she watched many people in the carriage get out of the carriage and called to ask for their friends and relatives, some of them even have painful voice. Of course, Xu Yang was only a little bit touched.
The road was split into two by a huge, uncanny crack, and Xu Yang, carrying her bag, silently broke away from the crowd and walked away.
