Li Wei nodded and said seriously, "I've been looking for an opportunity to tell you this news, but I've always felt it wasn't appropriate. I figured that dragging it out wasn't a solution, so I decided to tell you right here in 017."

Rei Miyamoto swallowed hard; the current situation made her nervous.

Li Wei sighed and said, "I asked Abigail to search for your parents, but the results weren't good. It's confirmed that your father is dead. He chose to commit suicide by shooting himself to avoid turning into a zombie. Your mother is missing, and it's impossible to determine whether she's dead or alive. But according to the information Abigail provided, the chances of her surviving are extremely slim."

Rei Miyamoto's expression froze. The sudden bad news had wiped away all her beautiful thoughts. Now, her mind felt like it was being struck by lightning, her hands and feet were ice-cold, and even moving a little felt like a struggle. Li Wei said, "You were going to find out about this sooner or later. Everyone has to face reality."

Rei Miyamoto snapped out of her daze and didn't answer Li Wei's question, but she knew that from this moment on, she had no way back, and her life was only about the road ahead. She no longer had any relatives to rely on, and the harbor of her heart had been destroyed by violence. At this moment, she felt that the sea breeze hitting her face was like a series of sharp blades, cutting her face painfully.

The current Miyamoto Rei wasn't as hysterical as in the original story, but tears welled up in her eyes. Li Wei could understand her emotions; this was the only thing that could make him empathize. Li Wei wasn't without weaknesses; his weakness was his family.

However, Li Wei also had a trump card. With a certain understanding of soul power, even if his parents were in trouble, as long as their souls were still intact, he would have a way to create a new body for them.

If his parents wished, he even had a way to ensure they could also enjoy the benefits of immortality.

Li Wei gently put his arm around Miyamoto Rei's shoulder, letting her lean on his shoulder, and said, "There's no one else here. If you want to cry, you can cry. No one will laugh at you." Hearing Li Wei's words, Miyamoto Rei could no longer control her emotions and burst into tears.

At this moment, Li Wei received a notification from the system that Miyamoto Rei had lost control of her emotions and mental state due to the departure of her loved ones, causing a slight change in the world line. He gained 500 points and now has 11800 points remaining.

Li Wei inwardly exclaimed, "Wow! Just one shout from Miyamoto Rei and the points he gained were equal to the points he received from destroying the entire sea airport camp. It has to be said, the so-called 'protagonist' can sometimes be just that unreasonable."

At the sea airport camp, a small sun slammed down, scattering the entire camp. The lives of thousands of people were equivalent to just one reaction from Miyamoto Rei. Indeed, changing the course of the world is a thankless task. For Li Wei, it's more important to figure out how to gain points with the main characters.

Rei Miyamoto cried for an unknown amount of time, until her voice was hoarse, her face was covered in tears, her eyes were swollen, and she looked utterly disheveled.

Li Wei didn't think Miyamoto Rei was wrong in this matter. Any normal person would be unable to remain absolutely calm in such a situation. Although Miyamoto Rei is one of the "protagonists" of this world, she is ultimately just a teenage girl. In this matter, one cannot have too high expectations of her.

Seeing Miyamoto Rei crying so hard she could barely breathe, Li Wei used a small spell to ease the pain in her lungs and throat, and also tidied her up a bit, making her look less disheveled than before. Li Wei said, "Life always has to move on, and everyone in the camp is your new family. Many people in the camp are in the same situation as you, and I really didn't know how to tell them." Miyamoto Rei caught her breath, tidied herself up, and said, "Thank you, I feel a little better now."

Li Wei said, "Crying won't solve the problem, but it can relieve some of the emotions. And I will always stay by your side. If you don't mind, I can play the role of an older brother."

Rei Miyamoto was flattered. She had been incredibly envious when she saw Kijima Busujima call Li Wei her brother. But now, Li Wei was willing to take on the role of her brother, and the relationship between the two had suddenly become much closer. This brought her great joy after her great sorrow.

Rei Miyamoto clutched her chest, her brows furrowed slightly. The intense emotional turmoil was almost unbearable for her, both physically and mentally.

Miyamoto Rei's mind went blank. She now understood that Li Wei had never disliked her from the beginning.

In Miyamoto Rei's eyes, Li Wei was like the sun in the sky, impartially showering its warmth upon all things. Even a "wicked woman" like her received no special treatment from Li Wei, which deeply moved her.

Chapter 216. After Humanity's Decline

The more Li Wei investigated Miyamoto Rei, the more puzzled he became. This woman, who dumped Komuro Takashi and turned to his friend Igou Hisashi, left him with a very bad first impression. However, what surprised him was that such a bad woman was actually a virgin with no experience. When he first learned about this, Li Wei was shocked. What kind of international joke was this?

Li Wei suspected that there was something wrong with his perception, which led to this misjudgment. So, he used various perception methods and finally confirmed one thing: Miyamoto Rei's life energy was indeed very clear.

After all, the *Huangdi Feisheng Jing* (Yellow Emperor's Ascension Scripture) belongs to "professionals" in this field. As a Qi cultivator who practices this method, Li Wei is extremely accurate in judging a Daoist partner's innate qualities and life energy. Although it's hard to accept, Miyamoto Rei's essence is pure, and it is precisely because of this that Li Wei left Miyamoto Rei with a final glimmer of hope.

If not, then the fate awaiting Miyamoto Rei will be the same as that of those high school girls who cannot maintain their purity; they will be abandoned in this apocalypse, left to fend for themselves.

Li Wei gently stroked Miyamoto Rei's back, and a small amount of magic power seeped into her body, making her feel less uncomfortable than before. Crying and laughing loudly can have a negative impact on the body.

Rei Miyamoto said, "Thank you for bringing me this message, brother. My family is gone, so I must carry on their legacy and live well."

Li Wei said, "It's best that you think that way."

The flying carpet stopped above a beach and slowly descended. Miyamoto Rei saw that the once bustling beach was now deserted. The crowds of people had disappeared, leaving only a few zombies wandering on the beach.

The sea below was crystal clear, like a green gemstone. After the human population began to decline, nature regained the upper hand and, in just a few days, it was transformed into a strangely vibrant place.

"Where is this?" Miyamoto Rei asked curiously.

"Moriya in Chiba Prefecture, we're currently above Moriya Beach. Let me clear out the zombies first." Li Wei snapped his fingers, and all the zombies on the beach floated up, as if they were in a vacuum.

The floating zombies struggled violently, like fish that had been brought ashore. After all the zombies were gathered together, they were all on the verge of death.

Seeing this, Rei Miyamoto looked surprised and said, "How can these zombies be like this? Aren't they supposed to be very resilient?"

Li Wei said, "Although humans become zombies after being infected with the virus, becoming so-called 'living dead,' zombies are actually a type of living organism. They also need air to survive. I simply created a vacuum around them. Without the air they depend on for survival, their cells are dying rapidly. In a while, they will be completely gone."

This was the first time Miyamoto Rei had heard of such a thing. She had always thought that these zombies were like undead creatures in fantasy novels, beings that had already died once, and therefore no longer needed the stable environment that living beings required.

However, Li Wei's act of drawing a vacuum proved that the zombie was a living creature, which overturned all her previous conjectures.

After all, Li Wei had created zombie puppets that could control zombies, so he had a considerable understanding of zombies and the virus that turned ordinary people into such beings.

Li Wei had no intention of saving the world. He never considered himself a savior. After accumulating points, he would leave the world, and what the world would become was none of his concern.

He gathered all the zombies into a ball and threw it towards the distant sea. Li Wei then maneuvered the flying carpet to land on the ground.

After clearing the zombies from the beach, it became eerily quiet. The roars and groans of the zombies were gone, as were the usual bustling crowds. The two of them stood on the desolate sand. (Requesting flowers.)

Looking at the scenery before him, Li Wei wanted to complain in his heart: that mysterious organization must be an extreme environmental organization.

However, with the decline of humankind, the natural environment is gradually changing, and this is indeed happening. Tokyo Bay, located in Tokyo, used to be severely polluted due to the large amount of sewage discharged into the sea. But with the collapse of human civilization, the water quality of Tokyo Bay has improved visibly in just a few days.

At places like Moriya Beach, the water is so clear that ordinary people can see the seabed directly from above.

0……0 In the world of "Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend", Li Wei and his partners also came here for tourism, but the water quality of Moriya Beach there was much worse than that of the current counterpart here.

Li Wei took out two beach chairs from his mental space and put them down. Miyamoto Rei exclaimed in surprise, "You even keep things like this in reserve?"

"I've stocked up on all sorts of random things, because you never know when you might need them," Li Wei said.

Li Wei sat down on a beach chair and said, "Now that things are like this, this place has become our private beach. This is the first time I've ever had this experience."

Japan is a country with a very high population density. Because the inland areas are mostly mountainous, most of the population lives along the coast. Moriya Beach has always been a popular spot. If it weren't for the zombie outbreak, it would never have been cleared out.

Rei Miyamoto was still a little unaccustomed to the current situation. She was worried that zombies might rush out from the corners, but seeing how relaxed Li Wei was, she felt at ease and sat down on a beach chair.

Under the azure sea and sky, and being alone with Li Wei, Miyamoto Rei felt her heart beating too fast, and the atmosphere was somewhat awkward.

Chapter 217. A Trip to the Seaside

"The water quality is two levels higher than before. It's only been a short time since the apocalypse started, and nature's self-repairing ability is truly amazing."

When Miyamoto Rei turned her head to look at Li Wei, she discovered that, at some point, Li Wei was only wearing a pair of swimming trunks.

"Is my brother going swimming?" Miyamoto Rei was slightly surprised when she saw this.

"Well, to be honest, I don't really like water, but seeing such a clean sea, I felt that it would be a waste of my trip if I didn't take a swim," Li Wei said with a smile.

The apocalypse hadn't been going on for very long. Although there was no one on the beach anymore, all the tourist facilities and the shark nets on the seabed were still intact. Li Wei flicked his finger, and not far away, the freezer of an unattended stall opened, revealing two bottles of iced drinks that flew out and landed on a small round table between two beach chairs.

Rei Miyamoto said, "It's a pity I didn't bring a swimsuit, and after getting in the water, I need to clean myself up when I get out, which is very troublesome."

Seawater is not like swimming pool water; it has a higher salt content. Swimming in the sea leaves a thin layer of crystals on your skin, which can be very uncomfortable. In this post-apocalyptic environment, cleaning is no easy task, so Rei Miyamoto doesn't plan to go swimming, and besides, she doesn't have a swimsuit.

"Leave this to me." With a snap of his fingers, a swimsuit from his consciousness space appeared on Miyamoto Rei's body, while her private Fujimi Academy school uniform was temporarily stored in his consciousness space.

The well-fitting white one-piece swimsuit, with its very bold design, resembled a concept product from the Miami Swimwear Show, completely transforming Rei Miyamoto's aura, blending innocence and allure.

"Isn't that all?" Li Wei said with a smile.

Miyamoto Rei shyly covered herself, but how could her hands possibly cover everything?

"Isn't this swimsuit a bit too daring? Isn't it a little too early for me?" Miyamoto Rei said, her face flushed.

This daring swimsuit makes your back feel cool when you put it on. Although it's a one-piece, it's a heavily modified version, consisting of just a few small pieces of white semi-transparent fabric connected by silk thread.

Her fair skin was perfectly displayed, and with a shy expression on her face, Li Wei made a camera-like gesture with his hands. In the "lens," Miyamoto Rei's current gorgeous figure was captured.

"Brother!" Miyamoto Rei's voice was filled with reproach and shyness.

"Li, you're quite adorable. This swimsuit suits you perfectly. It would be a shame not to enjoy the water at the beach," Li Wei said with a smile.

Li Wei sighed inwardly, "The women in Highschool of the Dead generally have very good figures. Even a teenage girl like Miyamoto Rei has a figure that surpasses at least 95% of adult women in the real world."

When Li Wei watched anime before, he always wanted to complain: do all the women in this world eat papayas like they're eating rice? Otherwise, how could such exaggerated figures be so common?

While it's not as exaggerated as Iruru from Maid of the Dragon, Lucoa and Tohru's level is something many people have reached, which is absurd.

When Li Wei praised Miyamoto Rei for being cute, her face flushed red, and she felt her brain was overloaded.

"Cute...cute and all, isn't this the swimsuit you picked out, brother? I didn't have a choice..." Miyamoto Rei lowered her head slightly, speaking incoherently. The current situation was beyond her expectations.

Rei Miyamoto felt a warm power envelop her.

Li Wei said, "I have given you the ability to breathe underwater. Now you are like a fish in the water. The resistance and pressure have been greatly reduced, and you don't have to worry about oxygen."

Looking at the shimmering light on her body, Miyamoto Rei sighed inwardly. For mortals like them, Li Wei, a "trainee immortal," was indeed an existence of inestimable nobility and unattainable height.

Li Wei took Miyamoto Rei's hand and led her into the sea. The two slowly stepped beneath the surface. Miyamoto Rei felt a warm energy supporting her; the seawater was no longer icy, but rather felt like a comfortable bath, a pleasantly warm temperature that gave her a very comfortable feeling…

Once inside the water, Rei Miyamoto found that she could open her eyes easily without water getting into them, and she didn't have to worry about water getting into her mouth, nose, or ears. She could get enough oxygen by breathing normally.

Moreover, with a gentle swing of her legs, she darted far away, greatly reducing water resistance and allowing her to swim further with minimal effort.

"How amazing!" Miyamoto Rei exclaimed. Normally, it's impossible to speak underwater, but after Li Wei used a water-repelling spell, she could still speak even in the water. The flowing light on her body helped her withstand the pressure of the water, making opening her mouth as easy as it was on land.

Li Wei took Miyamoto Rei's hand and said, "How are you feeling? Are you feeling a little better?"

Rei Miyamoto nodded. She had previous diving experience, but all her previous dives required wearing goggles and a regulator. If she wanted to dive further, she also had to carry an oxygen tank, which was very inconvenient. This experience of swimming like a fish was a first for her.

The ocean gives people a feeling of vastness and coldness, but the feeling of being warm all over while swimming in the water gradually made Miyamoto Rei relax.

Just then, Li Wei hugged her from behind, and the two of them swirled in the water like intertwined whales.

"Isn't it fun? With reduced resistance, people can do things like whales," Li Wei laughed. "Brother, I..."

"No need to say anything, just leave everything to me," Li Wei said softly, embracing Miyamoto Rei.

Li Wei had made up his mind. His opinion of Miyamoto Rei had changed drastically. With his initial prejudice gone, he realized that Miyamoto Rei was actually a fairly well-behaved girl. While researching, he had seen many troubled girls who repeatedly committed evil deeds; compared to them, Miyamoto Rei was a remarkably pure and good person.
