Chapter 255 The Little Salted Fish in the Apocalypse (1)
Chapter 255 The Little Salted Fish in the Apocalypse (1)
Let's take another look. Hmm, this simple-minded one isn't her biological sister, but her cousin, who's two years older than her. She's not very bright, so she's easily fooled by a so-called good friend.
After watching the plot, Wangyou really wanted to ask her uncle and aunt, whom she had never met, how they managed to raise the young lady into such a naive and innocent girl.
She even gave away her personal wooden token, and someone else opened a storage space for it. She must be a woman of great fortune, otherwise no one else could open the Xie family's wooden token. Also, the token was too low-level, just a snake token.
After figuring out the timeline, Wangyou just waited to grow up. There were many things she couldn't do if she didn't grow up, but even if she did grow up, she couldn't interfere, since this was an elimination tournament set up for the world to advance, and Wangyou couldn't interfere too much.
"Our daughter is so good, she plays by herself as soon as she wakes up." Wangyou's mother in this life smiled and picked her up.
"Yes, this is our little darling, Wangyou. Dad hopes you will always be carefree!" Father Xie looked at Wangyou with a face full of love.
Looking at her parents in this life, Wangyou realized they looked exactly like the parents she had seen in photos, and she couldn't help but reveal a toothless smile.
"My daughter smiled, look how happy she is."
"Brother Tian, is this wooden sign alright?"
"It's alright, the Xie family all have it, it's just that our daughter is a bit taller. At most, we'll just go back to the old house to open the ancestral hall. It's nothing serious, don't worry."
"That's good. I don't want her to bear too much responsibility; I just hope she's safe and sound."
With the love of her parents and the kindness of her elders, Wangyou gradually grew up. However, there was only one girl of Wangyou's generation, Xie Baozhu, who was the cannon fodder in the story.
Xie Baozhu had always liked to stick close to Wangyou since she was a child. She especially liked this pretty little sister and would come to play with Wangyou whenever she had the chance. As for the fact that the elders doted on Wangyou more, she didn't care at all.
Moreover, it may be due to the natural influence of the Dragon amulet on the Snake amulet that Xie Baozhu has always listened to Wangyou since she was a child. She would do whatever Wangyou said, and the other younger generation was the same.
The elders rarely come near Wangyou because they have discovered that her dragon token level is exceptionally high. When they get close to her, they find it impossible to resist any of her requests. In such cases, it is natural to keep their distance. After all, this little one is too cute, but also really mischievous!
August 8th, 2231, was an ordinary day, but also a rather extraordinary one.
Early in the morning, a scream woke me up. When I opened my eyes, I saw that it was my roommate shouting downstairs.
"What happened?"
"Monster... monster!"
Several girls got out of bed one after another, and when they saw what was happening outside, they all covered their mouths.
Wangyou opened her sleepy eyes, realizing that the apocalypse had arrived. Judging by the time, it seemed to be about time. She had been having so much fun that she had forgotten. Now, she'd only been in university for a week!
"Could this be the apocalypse depicted in the movies?!"
"It's obvious. Hurry up and wash up and change your clothes. Stop spacing out." Wangyou said as she got out of bed and went to wash up. At least the water was usable now.
Perhaps it was psychological, but the three girls in the dormitory calmed down, quickly locked the dormitory door from the inside, and then started packing their things to see how much food they could find.
The four girls in the dorm are all well-off; they bought a lot of snacks when school started, which should last them for a while.
"Wangyou, you're out. I'm going to wash up." Cool girl Chen Sa rushed into the bathroom.
"Wanting, Shishi, don't be afraid. There's no use being afraid now. Let's call home first to let them know we're safe. Judging from the situation, we're afraid our communication won't last more than a few days," Wangyou comforted her.
"Yes, I'll call my parents right away." Zhang Wanting and Song Shishi quickly found their phones to make the call.
Wangyou also took out her phone and called her family members one by one. After confirming that they were all safe, Wangyou told her father that dripping blood on the wooden plaque he always carried would grant him a space, and that he should hurry up and stock up on food!
After hanging up the phone, Wangyou called Xie Baozhu, who was studying at the university next to Harbin Institute of Technology, which Wangyou attended. She asked Xie Baozhu to find a secluded place to drip blood onto the wooden plaque and put it on.
"Little sister, don't run around, I'm coming to find you!" Xie Baozhu whispered.
"I'm fine. Don't wander around. Just wait for government rescue or for me to come find you. From now on, stay vigilant."
"Okay, I understand." Xie Baozhu nodded seriously. Then, Wangyou started rummaging through her things. There were plenty of snacks, but nothing like instant noodles.
Wangyou peeked out from behind the curtains and saw a scene of utter devastation. Then, she heard a knock on the door and screams. It seemed that one of her classmates had turned into a zombie.
It seems the first round of screening is whether or not someone has become a zombie. As for why Wangyou didn't report it, no one would believe it if she said it. Should she tell them that she can communicate with the heavens?
Furthermore, this is a selection process by Heaven itself. Whether Wangyou speaks or not, the outcome won't differ much; at most, it's just a matter of dying sooner or later. Rather than suffering endless hardships and dying, it's better to die sooner, at least someone might be there to collect the body.
After the four girls finished washing up, they all changed into loose-fitting sportswear.
“In this situation, there are too many uncontrollable factors if we wait for rescue. Although Harbin Institute of Technology is a national institution and will definitely be among the first to be rescued, my sister is at the school next door. I need to go to her and find some supplies while I’m at it. We can’t hold out for long with these things,” Wangyou said earnestly.
“Wangyou is right. In times like these, self-rescue is far better than waiting for others to rescue you,” Chen Sasa said seriously. Born into a military family, she was obviously much calmer.
"I...I'm scared!" Zhang Wanting said fearfully, her pretty face turning pale.
“I’m scared too, but Wangyou and Sasa are right. We can’t just sit here and wait to die. Besides, the apocalypse has reached us. The first thing to collapse will definitely be the order. And these zombies might upgrade like in the novels. So we still have an advantage if we go out now.” Song Shishi’s face was pale, but her mind remained calm.
“That’s true. If it were really like in the novels, we could go out and kill zombies and accumulate experience points.” Zhang Wanting said, her face pale, trying to remain calm.
“But now is obviously not a good time. Let’s go out at night. It’s quieter at night. Although our vision may be obstructed, the chances of encountering any living people are slim, which will also avoid arguments,” Wangyou suggested. However, she was still a little worried about her roommates. She had excellent night vision, but her roommates might not.
“Wangyou is right, but Wangyou, our visibility is limited when we go out at night. It would be troublesome if zombies rushed out and we couldn’t see them,” Chen Sasa said seriously.
"My vision isn't affected at night, so I still plan to go out tonight. You guys stay in the dormitory, and I'll try to see if I can bring my sister over." Wangyou still insisted on going out alone at night.
"Are you sure?" Chen Sasa asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, I've been learning ancient martial arts since I was a child." It's the apocalypse, so it's okay to show a little bit of skin.
