A villainous girl created by paranoia

Sizzle...

The static crackled in my ears again...

In an instant, the big tree vanished without any warning; its disappearance was extremely sudden.

But that terror remained in my heart...

"What's wrong, Lily? Why do you look scared?"

My sister's voice woke me up. I turned my head blankly and looked at my sister, whose face was filled with worry.

"Sister...you? Didn't you see?"

"Lily, what did you just see?"

The gaze returned to the large pit, but there was nothing inside, only a few wandering zombies around it.

"Sister... I just... saw a tree... It was a tree made of flesh and blood... Gray bark... And! And eyes!"

I trailed off, unable to continue, because I was reminded again of those four enormous eyes staring intently at me, and the terror I felt...

No! I can't bear to think about it anymore!

I clutched my head in anguish, unwilling to recall it any longer.

A gentle touch came from above my head... it was my sister stroking my head. In that instant, the fear vanished, replaced by endless warmth.

"elder sister?"

"Sweetheart, sweetheart, don't think about it anymore."

"Hmm... I'm not going to think about it anymore."

Even so... but what exactly is that thing?

[You will be targeted by zombies in 60 seconds. Please prepare.]

[60 seconds until the airdrop supplies land. The map shows the landing location. Please prepare to claim the supplies.]

[60 seconds remaining until the negative buff [Weakness II] takes effect. Please prepare accordingly.]

Before I could calm down, the notification in my head woke me up. I wasn't afraid of being targeted by zombies, because even with the notification in my head, they wouldn't target me. The fact that no zombies chased me after I teleported out of the safe house was the best proof of that.

"Alright, Lily, according to the plan, you go and get the supplies from the airdrop, and I'll go and attract the zombies. Here, take this bag; you can put some small items in this bag."

As she spoke, my sister handed me a plastic bag, which I naturally took, and then...

???

When did my sister unlock her handcuffs? I touched my sleeve and found the key was still there. So... how exactly did my sister unlock her handcuffs?

"What's wrong, Lily? Why are you looking at me with such a strange expression?"

"Um... how exactly did you unlock the handcuffs, sister?"

The older sister shrugged and said nonchalantly.

"There are many ways to solve it. I can teach you when I have time later."

As she spoke, the older sister casually pulled up a shelf, seemingly intending to use it as a weapon.

"Alright, Lily, you go to the airdrop landing site. I'll stay away from here for now."

After saying that, my sister grabbed the shelf and ran away into the distance. Seeing this, I also grabbed a plastic bag and ran towards the airdrop landing point.

Actually, the airdrop landing point wasn't far away, right at the entrance of [Flaxmee].

The rain was heavy, and being soaked was very uncomfortable, but it was bearable in order to get the supplies.

[You have been targeted by zombies!]

[Supplies have landed! Claim them before the zombies destroy them!]

[You have been affected by the negative buff [Weakness II]. Please use the Universal Serum to remove the negative buff!]

I had wondered how planes would drop supplies in such heavy rain, but I never expected that the airdrop boxes would fall directly from the sky.

Bang!

The airdrop box made a huge thud when it landed, which startled me so much that I almost jumped up. But then the [Weakness II] effect on me kicked in, and my legs seemed to lose all strength in an instant, causing me to kneel down on the ground.

The [Weakness II] effect alone has made me lose so much power. It's hard to imagine what the other negative buffs would do. I wonder how my sister, who was attracting the zombies' attention, is doing?

The zombies glanced at me first, then set their sights on the airdrop.

No, now is not the time to sit on the ground and waste time.

I dragged my heavy body to the airdrop crate. The crate was square, about one or two meters high and two meters wide, and it was covered with thick sheet metal. For a moment, I didn't know how to open it.

Click!

Before I could prepare myself, the box made a loud noise, which startled me. But I quickly recovered because the four metal sides of the box slowly opened.

I was filled with anticipation, hoping there would be some food in the box. After all, I had been hungry all day, and yesterday I had only drunk a little water to stave off hunger. Now I was really hungry.

The box was fully opened, but I was somewhat disappointed because there was no food inside.

Although it was a two-meter-tall box, it contained very little stuff, in fact, very little.

The box contained a long katana, a pistol, two magazines, two grenades, a letter, two syringes, and that was it.

The contents inside were pitifully small; to be honest, I was even a little disgusted with this airdrop crate.

The zombies around me were already closing in at double speed, so to avoid contact with them, I quickly put my pistol, magazine, grenade, envelope, and injection into a plastic bag, and then hugged my katana to my chest.

After taking all the items from the airdrop, I turned and left without a second thought. The zombies behind me scratched and clawed at the empty box, as if they had an irreconcilable hatred for it. Some of them even used their teeth to bite the metal box.

Ignoring the zombies' frenzied behavior, I ran into Flasmee.

My sister and I made a promise that I would wait for her to come back inside Flasme, and now all I have to do is wait for her inside Flasme.

My sister... she will definitely come back.

--split line--

Sorry everyone, there was supposed to be an extra update today, but I was kept up all afternoon because of a stomachache.

I remember there was an extra chapter for Zu Long and another for Qi Qi, making a total of two chapters. I'll try to write three chapters tomorrow.

Ladies and gentlemen, I'm going to sleep now. Let's fast forward to tomorrow together.

Is the content of the letter in Chapter Twenty-Two important?

[Lily's Perspective]

I didn't have to wait long before my sister, soaking wet, rushed in from the downpour. Along the way, she used a deformed shelf to knock away several zombies that surrounded her. Finally, she put the shelf back by the door before walking towards me.

The bandage on my sister's severed arm had come off at some point, exposing the gruesome white flesh to the air once more. The flesh was rotting and decaying like that... How painful must it have been? Yet, there was no sign of pain on my sister's face; her expression remained that faint smile.

I didn't say anything, and just walked unsteadily to my sister's side. Then I tore off some fabric from my skirt and started bandaging her.

My hands are still trembling uncontrollably. Honestly, what am I doing? My sister herself didn't even cry out in pain, so why am I so scared?

The bandaging process was quiet; none of us spoke until I finished tying the bandages, at which point Sister Hanamichi spoke to me.

"Is there food in the airdropped supplies?"

I shook my head to indicate no.

"What are some of them?"

"That's all..."

I timidly handed the things I took out of the airdrop crate to my sister. I was a little afraid that she would be disappointed, a little afraid that she would be angry. After all, my sister hadn't eaten all day, and after going through three battles, she must be exhausted and very hungry.

"Hmm, let me see. A katana, a pistol, two magazines, two grenades, two syringes, and a letter?"

"Not a bad find. Let's put everything else aside for now and open this letter."

"Um..."

"What's wrong, Lily? You seem reluctant to talk. Is it because of the [Weakness II] negative buff?"

I nodded without saying anything, because I felt too tired to talk.

My sister looked at me, then reached out and touched my forehead.

"It's so hot!"

My sister acted as if she had touched something too hot to handle, and only touched my forehead briefly before taking her hand away.

"Lily, do you have a fever?"

I have a fever? Me? I don't feel anything.

I didn't say anything, and just watched as my sister took the injection out of the plastic bag. After reading the contents of the injection for a while, my sister pulled my right arm over and pointed the needle at my arm.

"Sister? What's this? Is it cold medicine?"

"No, it's the serum mentioned in the game rules."

Serum? Isn't that a very expensive substance?

I withdrew my arm, not intending to let my sister use the serum here.

But my sister forcibly pulled my arm out from behind my back. I really don't know, even though my sister also has the weakness effect, how can she still have so much strength?

Then, my sister quickly injected the injection into my arm and then pushed all the liquid from the injection into my body.

[The negative buff [Weakness II] has been removed.]

The moment the system notification sounded in my brain, I felt my mind instantly become clear and my energy fully restored. I am now in the best possible state.

"Sister...this serum is actually very valuable, isn't it?"

"It's not that valuable; if you get something like this once, you can get it a second time."

Okay, Lily, let's put everything else aside for now and see what's written in this letter.

As she spoke, her sister took out the envelope that was somewhat damp from the rain.

I looked at my sister, then at the other vial of serum in the plastic bag, and asked with some confusion.

"Sister, don't you need the serum?"
