Fairy Chapter 7: SUR/VI/VE
~Two days later, in Xu City’s market~
Lu Huixue spread the map on her lap and confirmed that they really had arrived in Xu city. But… the city felt a bit strange.
They saw many zombies on the national highway, but no zombies can be seen after entering the city.
Which base has cleaned up Xu city? Impossible, even if it is all cleaned up, its not possible for a city to be so quiet.[1]
Xu Yang touched her chin and tried to remember the events in her previous life, but unfortunately her last life was completely wasted… so she had no useful information.
“Lu Huixue, do you want to have ‘fun’?”
“Have… Fun?” Lu Huixue was afraid that she misunderstood what Xu Yang was implying.[2]
Xu Yang smirked and she leaned towards Lu Huixue.
Lu Huixue instantly blushed, she opened her hands, and was hesitating to hug Xu Yang, but she found out that she was wrong.
Because on the next second, Xu Yang honked the car.
!!!
——This car’s horn was very loud. In this quiet streets, zombies in a hundred miles can heard it
Making a loud ruckus to attract zombies.
This is the ‘fun’ that Xu Yang has offered to her.
“…”
They waited for a while, but nothing happened. Xu Yang’s face was twisted, she knew this situation was wrong.
Very wrong.
Lu Huixue hesitated, before starting the car and accelerating slowly, while honking the horn from time to time. But still… they didn’t see any zombies.
What should we do?
Should we go back and report that there are no zombies in Xu city?
Impossible!
Where did the zombies go?
……
“There may be a 2★ zombie here.” Lu Huixue said.
This is possible.
Among zombies hierarchy, the cannon fodder 0★ zombies are unconditionally obedient to the 1★ zombies, then the 2★ zombies can certainly call for lower★ zombies. This is all Lu Huixue’s guesses, but the idea of zombies getting stronger is very common in doomsday novel.
“Let’s stay overnight at the border to watch.”
It will be inconvenient if they don’t do it carefully. 2★ zombie? If it can gather all the zombies … Are they going to make a zombie tide? An upgrade opportunity raised Xu Yang’s interest, but the threat of 2★ made her didn’t dare to move carelessly.
“Okay.” Lu Huixue found a convenience store and stopped the car.
Most of the food in the store has gone, apparently it has been searched. Well, the silence of the city has a huge lurking danger.
The two of them ate something to supplement their nutrition, and they found a place to sit and rest.
Until midnight, a loud roar awakened them.
That was zombie’s roar. It started with a huge, angry roar, and then many roars ups followed, it came from all directions, resembling a resounding roar.
Are they communicating?
Lu Huixue didn’t know.
She glanced at Xu Yang, and she noticed that the girl’s eyes were particularly twinkling in the dark.
“It’s 2★.” Xu Yang confirmed. “Maybe it’s injured.”
“I see?”
“Maybe they were being injured by someone or something? It needs to recuperate, so it gather all the zombies in the city. Other than recuperation, my guess are revenge, letting its subordinates to attack and get stronger… I guess.” It was just a guess, but Xu Yang thought she could be right.
Xu Yang didn’t want to save people.
But she wanted to fish in muddy water and kill a few more 1★ zombies.[3]
She took out the pistol she obtained from the base and put the ammunitions on her pocket.
“Let’s join in to have fun, okay?”
Lu Huixue was a little stunned, she thought maybe Xu Yang didn’t realize what her current expression looked like, it was as if she was casually telling her, “Let’s go to the Amusement Park to play.”
Lu Huixue realized that Xu Yang’s intention wasn’t to save people, but to have fun.
She lowered her head and smiled, “Okay~”
A request by a cute girl, she generally wouldn’t refuse. Especially, a lovely girl like Xu Yang.
~Late Evening~
They drove and carefully closing in to the sound source. They saw a zombie, but that zombie was followed by an endless sea of zombies.
Lu Huixue immediately stopped the car. They didn’t seem to notice, or maybe they noticed them, but the 2★ zombies didn’t bother to clean them up for now.
Xu Yang was very shocked. She has heard that a zombie tide was terrible, but now when she really saw it she was still surrounded by that endless sense of despair. It felt suffocating, and it seemed like she had no courage to resist. But Xu Yang quickly adjusted herself, she calmed down and summoned two flame fairies.
Heh.
Will such tight-knit zombies become a sea of flame after being burned by flames? [4]
Xu Yang smiled happily at such thought and she opened the door..
Lu Huixue didn’t have the time to stop her. She was sitting inside, watching Xu Yang standing in front of the car, and the two flame fairies were shining in the dark. Soon, they flew into the zombie group.
A zombie was ignited and it flew the next zombie. This endless wave of zombies made Lu Huixue remembered the magnificence that “a spark can burn the prairie” proverbs. The endless zombies were replaced by flashing fire, and the summer night heat became more and more- hotter, and it made people sweat by watching it. Lu Huixue was far away, but she could still feel the heat wave. And she got an inexplicable surge, the feeling of her blood boiling.
Watching the fun from above, a black shadow stood alone.
Xu Yang stood very straight, and she watched the sea flames seriously.
The air smelled bad. But she didn’t frown. Xu Yang looked at the flame tongue that swallowed the darkness, and suddenly laughed, she was laughing very sweetly.
‘The feeling of having power was really good.’
‘It really felt great.’
In any case, she is very grateful for this incomplete system, grateful for the opportunity to life again, and grateful for the opportunity to regained her self-esteem and her life.
She lived on her own, with dignity, and with her strength.
‘How nice.’
‘This really feels great.’ It felt so good that Xu Yang was almost burst into tears.
She heard another angry roar of zombies, and the zombies swallowed by the flames tried to come to Xu Yang’s side.
Xu Yang realized that the 2★ zombie has noticed herself. With no delay, she ran back into the car, “Let’s go!” She just wanted to set a fire to level up, but was unwilling to face the 2★ zombie.
The fire was still burning as she got into the car.
Lu Huixue stepped on the accelerator, and the car flashed out, leaving sea of flame behind. She glanced and looked at Xu Yang’s excited face, even when they were moving at the speed of life and death now, she couldn’t help bending her mouth as she saw her.
“Let’s out of the city and we can come back tomorrow during the day.” Xu Yang looked at the zombies behind from the rearview mirror, and she guessed that the 2★ zombies has ordered a little force to deal with them. The 2★ were still chasing their “enemies”. After all, she just secretly killed [5] the little brother of 2★ Zombie by roasting him. The hatred value shouldn’t be very high.
[Successfully levelled up! Obtained skill points: 5]
Level 4.
Xu Yang licked her lower lip in excitement, she planned to set another fire tomorrow, and she felt she probably won’t be far away from another level up. This zombie tide was indeed so good, they were so tight-knit, and they burned one by one. Xu Yang opened and looked at the skill panel, and decided to save the skill points to see the new skills she can learn that will be unlocked at level 5. This way, she will have 11 skill points at Level 5.
~The Other Side of Xu City~
“Brother! Look, there is fire over there!” Inside the armored car, a young woman exclaimed as she furiously attacked the zombies near the car with ice powers.
“Boss, have the base’s reinforcements arrived?” The big man with the assault rifle who shot the zombie who was about to catch up with the car from time to time asked.
“How is it possible, we have no chance to call for help! It should be another base.” This time, the one who was talking is the man sitting in the co-pilot, his hand flashed with lightning, obviously a thunder Abilities. It’s just that… long-term fighting makes them very tired.
“That damn thing wants to block us, and even launch a zombie wave at night-damn, why would it suddenly upgrade to 2★!”
“Bad luck.” The man driving looked indifferent, he turned the steering wheel sharply, and the armored car drifted into the other street, so fast that the ground flashed. He glanced at the 2★ zombie who followed them from the top of the building and sneered. “Oh. It’s the injured coward.”
The 2★ zombie had just advanced, and his injuries has not healed yet. But he wasn’t willing to let them go, but he didn’t dare to directly attack them, so he ordered lower ★ zombies to be used as cannon fodder. The Abilities looked down on the zombies, but it is undeniable that they really had forced them to evolve.
It’s tricky.
He glanced at the place where the fire appeared, accelerated, made another turn, and rushed past. In any case, the four of them alone can’t deal with the 2★ zombie. Since those people are here, let them deal with it.
“Brother, are we going to find that team? What if they can’t beat the 2★ zombies?” The ice girl in the backseat shouted.
“It’s not good for us to fight. It’s easier for us to run away, right?” With a chuckle, the man who drove didn’t hide his malice. He glanced at the 2★ zombie who was chasing after them, and his smile grew brighter…
Even if he wqqill die, he didn’t want to die alone.[6]
Xu Yang didn’t have time to get out of the city. The 2★ zombies were roaring loudly and eagerly, and all the zombies on the avenue outside the city came. The road was blocked and they were trapped!
“This car needs to refuel.” Lu Huixue frowned, feeling troubled by this situation. If zombies really gathered outside the city, they probably have a chance to rush out. But she was afraid that the zombies would block the road. By then the zombies flesh would get stuck in the tires, and if the cars had no fuel, they would die and be surrounded.
“Turn left.” Xu Yang pointed to the sign on the tall building, “There is a Mall there, let’s go to the underground parking lot to stay tonight.”
“Are you sure?” If she was overwhelmed by the tide after entering, she could not guarantee that she could come out alive with Lu Huixue’s strength.
“The road is too conspicuous.” Xu Yang said, “If we were found by the hunted, they won’t let us go.[7] These zombies were called to block them. As long as you drive fast enough, the underground garage should be safe.”
Lu Huixue gritted her teeth and stepped on the throttle. She squinted at Xu Yang, and noticed that the little girl wasn’t scared yet.
Thanks to Xu Yang’s directions, the way was indeed unimpeded. The only stopped after entering the mall. Lu Huixue quickly got out off the car to break the stopper, before driving into the garage. They were very fast, and only a few zombies are attracted when they hear the sound of shaking. And before those attracted zombies came, they were summoned away by the two-star zombies.
Lu Huixue was relieved.
Besides her, Xu Yang unfastened her seat belt and opened the door.
“Where are you going?”
“Get in and check how the supplies are.” Xu Yang carried a pistol on her body, then threw the supplies to the trunk and picked up an empty backpack.
Lu Huixue hurriedly took a backpack and placed it on her back, she smiled at Xu Yang, “Let’s go.”

[5] …Uh… MC’s logic. If secret : then the 2★ might not noticed what she has killed the subordinate
[6] Hahaha they’re calculating on MC to die for saving them
[7] Hahaha MC has calculated their calculations. MC: As if I will save people.
