"Let's go."

Yunyi shoved the rabbit back into her arms and stood up.

Wen Ruotang leaned against the headboard, looking at them without saying a word.

Yun Yi walked to the door, stopped, and looked back.

"mom."

"Um."

"We will be back."

Wen Ruotang smiled.

That smile was different from before—it wasn't gentle, it wasn't tired, it was an expression Yun Yi had never seen on her face before.

pride.

"it is good."

she says.

Yun Yi took Yun Nian's hand and walked into the dark corridor.

Yun Nian's hands were small and soft, with a little sweat on her palms.

She gripped Yunyi's fingers tightly, walked very fast, her short legs moving swiftly, but without uttering a sound.

The corridor was dark; the emergency lights had long been off, and only a little light shone through the crack in the fire door at the end.

Yun Yi's eyes gleamed with a pale golden light in the darkness.

Yun Nian didn't notice—she was only focused on the path beneath her feet.

When they reached the fire door, Yun Yi stopped and picked up Yun Nian.

"Close your eyes."

Yun Nian obediently closed her eyes.

Yunyi pushed open the fire door.

The outside world is different from what it was three days ago.

Several wrecked cars were parked in the parking lot, with drag marks on the ground and a strong stench of decay filling the air.

Something was moving in the distance—not a person, but those gray, contorted things.

Yun Yi pressed Yun Nian's head onto his shoulder, quickly crossed the parking lot, and walked up the slope.

Half of the ground-level building had collapsed, and the corrugated iron roof had been completely blown off, leaning precariously against the wall.

He stood at the doorway and glanced south.

The south is the direction of the city.

Thick smoke billowed across the skyline, and several high-rise buildings were reduced to mere skeletons.

Closer in, there was a large residential area, with gray buildings crammed together like a concrete jungle.

The "east" that Yun Tianheng mentioned is in the south. It refers to the direction of the city.

Yun Yi looked down at Yun Nian in his arms.

She had opened her eyes, but didn't speak. She just buried her face in his neck, one hand clutching the ugly rabbit's ear and the other gripping his collar.

"elder brother."

"Um."

"What are those?"

She didn't look up, but she asked about the gray figures moving around in the parking lot.

"The sick person."

Will they be alright?

Yun Yi paused for a moment.

"have no idea."

Yun Nian didn't ask any more questions.

She just buried her face even deeper.

Yun Yi carried her into the apocalypse.

……

Meanwhile, in Linhai City, in the eastern part of the city.

On the rooftop of an abandoned office building, a figure stands on the edge, overlooking the dying city.

The eleven or twelve-year-old boy wore a faded shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his forearms, revealing his slender wrists.

His eyes were cold, like a lake in winter, covered with thick ice, reflecting nothing.

The wind blew by, carrying the smell of blood and burnt food.

He took a deep breath, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

"here we go."

Su Muzhe took out a card from his pocket—it was black, with no words on it, only a silver swirling pattern.

Identity card for the Paradise of Reincarnation.

It is also a locator that allows teams to confirm each other's presence and reunite.

But the name on the ID card at this moment was not his, but someone named "Weijie".

After releasing the card to locate its location, Su Muzhe put it back in his pocket and turned to walk downstairs.

A man lay in the stairwell, his veins clearly visible, but the blood had vanished, and his body was covered with flakes of flesh as thin as cicada wings.

The man was dressed in tattered, beggar-like clothes, and muttered weakly:

"I was wrong... Kill me... Kill me..."

Su Muzhe ignored the other party's pleas for mercy.

With a slight upturn of his lips, he came up with a new way to play.

……

In the north of the city, there is a church.

Five people gathered together.

One of them took out a card and respectfully addressed the person standing in the middle, saying:

"Boss, do we really need to use it?"

"This is a Heavenly Secret Card that we spent 3000 points to collect!"

"If the chosen one of this world is worth less than 3000 points, then it's a loss."

The man standing in the very center, judging by his appearance alone, is no more than an eleven or twelve-year-old child.

However, he was tall and slender, wearing a dark gray trench coat, his muscles were so long that even the collar looked like it couldn't hold up.

The height must be at least 1.9 meters.

His name is Pei Yuan.

The captain of the Sky Shadow Squad.

In this world, he is the son of a real estate developer. His parents died before the virus outbreak, leaving behind only ten houses.

"The virus in this world is very strange. It's not an ordinary zombie virus, but a virus that can continuously evolve at an incredibly bizarre rate."

"A monster has appeared that even I find troublesome in just three days."

"This is not normal; there must be other reincarnators involved."

"Under such circumstances, even the chosen one is by no means simple."

"Moreover, using the Heavenly Secret Card to find the location of the Chosen One is itself a gamble."

"Even if we lose the bet, the Chosen One isn't as valuable as we think, but the increased score after completing the mission is still a lot of points."

"Added together, it's definitely more than three thousand."

"use."

Pei Yuan only said one word.

Without further hesitation, the man tossed the Heavenly Secret Card into the air.

The card shattered in mid-air, turning into countless points of light that spelled out two words in the darkness—

【Yun Nian】

The five people stared at the two words in the air and fell silent.

The Heavenly Secret Card, worth 3,000 points, only resulted in a name.

The light faded, but those two words remained imprinted on everyone's retina like a branding iron.

The silence lasted for about five seconds.

"Yun Nian".

Pei Yuan read the name aloud in a flat voice, as if he were reading an unimportant document.

"A woman."

A tall, thin man next to him said, "It could also be a code name."

"It doesn't look like it."

Pei Yuan shook his head, "The Heavenly Secret Card was given with my real name; I've never used a code name."

Silence again.

Five people sat in a circle, their shadows flickering in the candlelight.

There were zombies howling outside the church, from far away, several streets away, intermittently, like people crying.

"Boss," the person holding the Heavenly Secret Card spoke, his voice still a little hesitant, "a name... how do I find it?"

Pei Yuan did not answer.

Just then, the tall, thin man suddenly remembered something:

"Boss, I remember now."

"The chairman of the Shenchuang Biological Research Center seems to be surnamed Yun. I remember he has a daughter named Yun Nian."

"Sure?"

Pei Yuan turned his gaze over, like a knife flipped over.

The tall, thin guy is named Sun Yi; he's the team's intelligence officer.

He took out a small notebook, flipped through a few pages, and pointed to one of the lines:

"Shenchuang Biotechnology R&D Center, Chairman Yun Tianheng, spouse Wen Ruotang, eldest son Yun Yi, youngest daughter Yun Nian."

"I found this in the business registration information before the outbreak of the virus. I thought it was useless at the time, but I made a note of it."

He looked up, adjusted his glasses, and said, "It seems this lead has been useful."

Pei Yuan nodded:

"Location."

"Shenchuang Bio is located in the Chengnan Economic Development Zone, but it became a severely affected area after the outbreak of the virus. Yun Tianheng cannot leave his daughter there."

Sun Yi turned another page. "People of this caliber would definitely arrange for their families to evacuate in advance."

"It's hard to say which direction they'll retreat in, but it's definitely not in the south of the city."

"Then let's split up and search."
