LET’S SUR/VI/VE: 002

At night, Xu Yang found an abandoned convenience store and walked in, but as she was about to use the shelf to close the door, a young woman ran over from the distance. Her clattering heels’ sound was very noticeable. Xu Yang hesitated for a moment, before letting the woman to enter.

Xu Yang slightly sidled over, still letting her in. The woman was panting and looked very distressed. She thanked Xu Yang while gasping for breath, then busied herself by helping her to hold the cargo container against the door.

It was only after everything was done, she sighed with relief and sat down on the floor.

”Little sister, thank you.” The woman thanked her, but as she noticed that Xu Yang didn’t care about her, she was afraid, the fear was obvious, she shivered and shrank into a ball, using the moonlight to look at Xu Yang. Xu Yang looked like a very young girl whith a very gentle and non-aggressive look, and if the woman had to describe her, Xu Yang probably is the kind of girl that makes you feel protective just by looking at her. In this case, the woman just thought about it and then started talking to herself, “Hey, what do you think, is the end of the world really coming? Is the Earth going to be destroyed? It was horrible, it was really horrible… one of my uncles went on a rampage and bit my aunt and was taken away by the police. But it was only one night for my aunt, and she went mad, too, and at the time I thought it was so wrong, isn’t this no different from… the end of the world in the novel?”

The woman rambled on and on, she was kind of venting, a kind of catharsis, and she was so scared that she desperately wanted someone to listen to her. And she clearly made the quiet Xu Yang to take on this listening role.

But as the woman was talking about the recent strange happenings and whether this was supposed to be a dream or something, Xu Yang stood up and interrupted her, “Shut up.”

The woman was startled and kept her mouth shut in panic. In the night, especially in the silence, the slightest sound would be amplified countless times. As soon as she shut up, those rustling noises in her ears were amplified. The woman stared at Xuanyang with wide eyes, as if seeking help. But noticing this, Xu Yang also frowned.

The sound was getting louder and louder, and there was the sound of flapping wings. Xu Yang looked through the window and was shocked to find a large group of nocturnal bats! No, as of now nocturnal bats were nowhere near as scary compared to their later mutation, but to the average person, a large group of nocturnal bats were definitely several times scarier than a zombie.

‘Aren’t they nocturnal bats? Why are they coming?’

”Why are there so many bats again?” The woman was startled and she hugged her arms, very uneasy.

”Again?” Xu Yang looked at her.

”I, I have seen so many swarms of bats before, and I was bitten by one yesterday afternoon…” the woman grew more and more uncomfortable, and the wound on her arm seemed to throb.

”Did the bat that bite you have white lines?” Xu Yang noticed the woman nodded hesitantly, and her whole person went cold. She should have never let this woman in!

White-striped bats have little offensive power, but they are surprisingly fast and can inject their prey with a special fluid. After the injection, the white-striped bats would return to the colony, bringing a large group of nocturnal bats to hunt together. The role of the white-striped bat in the nocturnal bat colony was to mark and track the prey.

This woman is a living target. Xu Yang thought about that when she was a human, in A Base, there was a man who was being targeted by a white-striped bat, and as a result, a whole swarm of nocturnal bat attack broke out in the night, the scene was verry horrifible, with heavy casualties. Afterwards, the characteristics of the various mutated creatures were taken seriously.

What’s not to understand when the woman sees Xu Yang’s face? Although she didn’t understand why this little sister knew so much, but… “Please help me! You must know a way! I’m begging you…” the woman pounced on her furiously, and if Xu Yang hadn’t been so quick to avoid, the woman would have yanked her pants.

Xu Yang let out a soft laugh, ”Fine. You calm down first, I’ll help you.”

”Okay, okay, I’m calm, I’m not moving…” the woman hesitantly agreed, and as she sew that Xu Yang didn’t run away, she relaxed. Those bats began to rush up against the door, and some bats began to flew towards the windows, trying to the glass. When the woman looked up to ask Xu Yang what she should do, the little girl stabbed the fruit knife into her throat with no expression.

Very deep, slashed her away.

There was a loud crash outside.

The marked prey died and the white-striped bats also lose their way. Nocturnal bats ceased their hunting behavior. This, behavior, too, was found out by humans.

【Killed 1 Ordinaries, successfully… Level up! 】

【Skill template is activated】

【Obtained skill points: 5】

Level up? Xu Yang was a bit surprised. But that wasn’t the most important thing at the moment, she used the woman’s clothes to dry the blood on her hands, then took the water to wash her hands, and finally she made sure her clothes weren’t stained with blood. After doing everything, she slowly wiped the fruit knife clean and put it in her pocket. She walked to the corner of the convenience store with her backpack and sat down, only to check the system’s panel.

This skill templates are similar to skill trees that exist on game. Xu Yang felt this panel is just like a game when she saw the first row of the proficiency (passive) that cost 3 skill points per passive skill.

Summoner skills? It seems that without learning one passive skill, she wouldn’t be able to learn the next row of skills.

The first lines are all passive skills, they are 【Proficiency Series】, consisted of【Basic Proficiency】, 【Throwing Proficiency】, 【Firearms Proficiency】, and 【Armor Proficiency】. Unlike in the game, there is no explanation of these proficiencies.

”The【Proficiency Series】of passive skills all are capped at 1, and the other skills are capped at three.” Xu Yang read out the tips of the skill template, “Every level up I will obtain five skill points, then I could learn the row of skills and the advanced task will be opened, and I would be able to learn next summons type after completing the task. The summons are divided into【Basic】,【Intermediate】, and【Advanced】 types. The initial time of basic summoning beasts is 1 minute… This is really like game.”

She only had five skill points, and Xu Yang pondered for a moment, and chose the 【Basic Proficiency】. Although according to the hint, these skills would have to be learned sooner or later, but her level is only 1 now, and survival was the key. 【Firearms Proficiency】? She currently had no gun, where would she obtain one? She didn’t chose it. 【Armor Proficiency】? Xu Yang suspected that this may be a defense passive skill of the Summoner, but she didn’t need it for now… She didn’t chose it. 【Throwing Proficiency】… While it sounded really novelty, it actually wouldn’t work so well in real combat. 【Basic Proficiency】, Xu Yang guessed this passive was to improve physical ability. Thankfully, she guessed right. After making sure to confirm her choice, a warm stream flowed through her body, and Xu Yang moved her body, feeling that her physical quality and reaction power were much better than before.

After the she picked up the skill from the first row, the second row of skills appears.

The second row of skills are the summoning skill, to summon four types of fairies: 【Fire】, 【Ice】, 【Wood】 and 【Thunder】, but it takes two skill points to learn one summon. Xu Yang, who only have 2 skill points left, could only choose one fairy as her basic summon.

Difficult choice.

Xu Yang, who had been a zombie for so long, is currently facing the dilemma of making a difficult choice for the first time.

She thought that her rebirth was probably related to this system. But this system is very unintelligent, and the only thing that probably works is the skill template. That is, the skill and the skill points she would obtain will determine her survival.

Xu Yang hesitated for a while and finally chose the 【Ice】 Fairy, and confirmed her choice.

It’s July, the end of the world are upon us, the weather was crashing and the temperatures were unbelievably high. After learning to summon the 【 Ice Fairy】, not only would the cooling problem be solved, but also the drinking water problem would be solved to some extent.

After learning, Xu Yang couldn’t wait to use the skill. A small pale blue spell suddenly emerged from the dimly lit warehouse, and soon, about a second or so later, it was gone. It was replaced by an ice shield that was blue in color and white in the middle, except that the small shield was half-hanging in the air, surrounded by sharp ice ribs. It staggered through the air, making sure there were no enemies before flying into Xu Yang’s arms to rub against her.

It felt the same as and ice. She would get frostbite if she touched it for too long. But perhaps because Xu Yang was the summoner, she didn’t feel any discomfort even though she felt cold. A minute later, the【 Ice Fairy】 disappeared.

It’s amazing.

Xu Yang thought that what came out would be the kind of fairy like creatures with pointy ears in western novels, but he didn’t think that it was really a fairy spirit in the true sense. That’s good.

The current Xu Yang, was a little more trusting of creatures that were not humanoid.

For the next few days, Xu Yang didn’t leave the convinience store. It’s a decent a place to live with a lot of food, and she didn’t walk around much during the day. The people on this city were either picked up by rescue workers or left on their own. It wasn’t until the third day that she met a zombie on the road.

The Ice Fairy’s attack pattern was interesting, there seemed to be two types of attacks. One is a Damage Over Time, and then a spike of ice will emerge from beneath the target to penetrate the zombie. The second is Close Quarters, where the white part of the ice juts up steeply to form an ice cone that could suprisingly cuts the enemy through.

It’s still very easy to deal with simple zombies. Xu Yang could only summon two Ice Fairies, no introduction. She didn’t know if the Ice Faeries could only appear two at once, or if she could only summon two summoning beasts at the moment. However, the cost of summoning an Ice fairy is very small. And summoning once only has a thirty second cool down time.

Xu Yang had been here for more than a month, and her cell phone had run out of battery and had no signal. She didn’t know what the situation was outside, but looking at the gradual increase in the number of zombies here, she thought that the big city would be… tough these days. It’s time to leave this city.

One, because she had leveled up to level 3 in a month by killing zombies, and two, because this convenience store had very little stuff left, and a small convenience store simply couldn’t withstand a zombie tide. Xu Yang needs to find a suitable place to be her base.

When she leveled up all the way to the third level, she obtained ten skill points. The third row of skills slowly emerges after all the three Fire, Wood and Thunder Fairies were learned. But it can’t be learned either, prompting that she must reach level 5 to learn it.

With four skill points left, Xu Yang didn’t upgrade the fairy for the time being, but instead she picked 【Firearms proficiency】. After all, as she survived the end of the world longer, firearms would be no longer so hard to obtain.

Master : Xu Yang (Summoner)

Level : 3

Skill point : 1

With her backpack on, Xu Yang began a new journey.

Author: The Summoner skill is mostly inspired by DFO World Summoner (Eclipse) skill. A small part of it is my imagination.

Let’s get out of this alive…….

XWT: Ririka’s face when reading this chapter.

Ririka: I’m expecting Female lead, but it’s actually-!!!!!?????? Wait, what?

Xu Yang’s level 3, so she got 15 points. (3×2) + (2×4) = 6+8 = 14
