Just a magical girl who picks up trash

"Is this considered a monster grab?"

While running towards the source of the sound, Yu Huan suddenly spoke.

"No, I don't think so!"

After hearing her words, Yu was silent for a moment and then silently defended the other party.

For the indigenous people, encountering zombies is definitely a disaster. They are the prey, not the hunters, so blaming them... well, it's probably really unlikely.

108. Doomsday

Restarting the past three years · City X

It has been the third year since the beginning of this doomsday disaster. Unknowingly, human beings' strong adaptability has allowed them to adapt to the sudden disaster and gradually find conditions sufficient to survive in this doomsday.

Doomsday, what a terrifying yet unexpected word. It was originally supposed to appear only in novels, fantasies and movies. No one expected that it would suddenly befall people in the present.

No one knows where the source of this doomsday comes from, and no one knows what exactly is going on. Just like what is written in most novels, it should have been a bright afternoon, and the zombie wave suddenly broke out.

The streets were full of zombies tearing and devouring flesh and blood, and people were shouting hysterically in chaos. The order that should have been maintained was completely broken, and the disaster suddenly swept across one city after another.

This is the day when the past history ends and the new history begins: the day known as the first year of the restarted calendar.

The sudden arrival of the doomsday completely destroyed the order that should have existed in society. Although countries took countermeasures and responded immediately, the wave of loss sweeping the world and the mysterious and strange "restart" virus made people unable to resist and fight against it. In the end, they could only sink into it and become the only remaining crazy zombies.

Of course, just like the plot in the novel, due to different situations, some survivors did not go crazy because of the influence of the virus. Instead, after overcoming these influences, they gained an all-round improvement in their physical fitness and a variety of different special abilities.

Later, when the order of various countries was on the verge of collapse, one "survivor" base after another was established by such a group of special people. Like humans huddled together for warmth, they united in one base after another, relying on the only remaining communication links to exchange information and share what they had.

And that dark time was the disaster known as 'Restart Day'.

Some people lost their relatives and friends in the disaster, some became destitute in the disaster, but there were also people who washed away their worldly desires in the disaster, awakened their special abilities, and thus rose to become the best among people.

Now, three years have passed since the restart day. After continuous struggles and battles, although every survivor base has people with special abilities and a lot of troops, the zombie frenzy and the ubiquitous infectious power are too strong.

In just three years, the world's population has dropped to less than one-third, and correspondingly, the number of zombies has continued to increase. More importantly, restarting the virus can not only awaken humans' superpowers and make them stronger, but the same is obviously true for zombies.

Similarly, do you think that the disaster is over just because there are zombies?

No, this is just the beginning!

Following the zombies, the first to mutate were the originally docile animals and various ferocious beasts that should have lived in the forest. Some of them, who were supposed to "live in harmony" with humans, had their intelligence rapidly increased after being transformed by the restart virus, but most of them became obviously more violent and lost their minds.

The zombie craze is a disaster in itself, and the mutation of wild beasts is as terrifying as a natural disaster. The only thing to be thankful for is that the so-called "plant mutation" has not occurred. At least although it is the end of the world, the survivor bases will not be on the road to food shortage by relying on "planting".

Of course, self-sufficiency is obviously not enough, so even in the current survivor base, teams will set out from the base from time to time and come to this city where loss is rampant to look for all kinds of supplies that can be used.

Zhao Yue's team was one of them. Three years ago, they were lying in the dormitory chatting and gossiping, and discussing where to go out in the evening to have a drink and eat barbecue. However, in the blink of an eye, they had turned into the dream-like scene they are today.

Nightmare!

Then, perhaps due to God's blessing or the strong physique of young people, Zhao Yue and several of his roommates awakened their special abilities by chance and survived the initial frenzy of loss.

Afterwards, several familiar classmates formed a team, living in the city as if they were huddled together for warmth, while trying to find their family members who might still be alive in this already fallen world... or simply just to survive.

Zhao Yue came here today to look for his relatives... After searching for three years, spending a lot of energy without any communication, he finally returned home to find a devastated house with only bloodstains and two dead zombies. He originally thought that his family had already died.

However, who would have thought that just a few days ago, when replenishing supplies at a nearby survivor base, they unexpectedly found their former neighbor begging there.

After hearing from the other party that his parents and younger siblings had survived the wave of loss and had come to this base with the large force at that time, he was obviously extremely excited and ready to find his family.

Finally, after making inquiries from many sources, I learned that my father and brother had joined a team. Because they had no special abilities, they could only serve as support and porters to support their sister and mother.

My mother and my sister work as cleaners in the city, relying on the meager points they earn to exchange for some food that they used to disdain but is now a luxury.

It was obviously a joyful thing for Zhao Yue to know that his family was fine, even if their lives were a little worse. Even after he found his family in the city, the reason he came here was actually because his family happened to receive a distress signal from his father's team at that time, so he decisively chose to come here.

However, even though they were people with superpowers, their team was still small in number and therefore weak. His father's distress signal showed the small city in front of them, but what was unexpected was that such a small city actually had so many zombies lurking in it.

Yes, lurking!

When I walked in, there was nothing happening. There were only a few zombies wandering around in the streets and alleys. I could easily deal with them by carefully avoiding them or using my special powers.

Then, after slowly reuniting with his father's team, before he could even get excited about escaping and reuniting with his son, he saw countless zombies rushing out from the corner.

And then... there is no need for then!

An overwhelming tide of zombies surged over in an instant and surrounded the building where they were. There were tens of thousands of zombies, and the mere sight of them was so dark and overwhelming that it gave people a feeling of immense despair. However, what was even more despairing was that on a three-story building farthest away from these zombies, there was a zombie in a neat suit sitting there.

High-level zombies already possess their own intelligence and can command large armies like kings. Even for high-level psychics, such existences are something they must run for their lives when they see them. However, Zhao Yue and others, who are only at the middle level, breaking into the other party's territory is undoubtedly an act of seeking death.

Apparently, this 'Loss King' really likes this kind of encirclement game. After 'tricking' Zhao Yue and the others into coming in, he trapped all these delicious humans in a trap.

Now, the siege has lasted for three days. The food and water they brought with them are obviously running out, and their ammunition has been used up. Their own special abilities are becoming less and less without nutrients. At the same time, the physical and mental fatigue are undoubtedly about to crush them completely.

But during this period, the King of Loss seemed to have seen the state of these people, and had no intention of giving them a "deadly" death. He did not let the Losts rush forward, but instead surrounded them in a group, playing like a cat and mouse, which made people hate him.

As the saying goes, either die in silence or explode in silence.

They were all young men full of vigor and vitality. Under such a depressing atmosphere and the threat of death, finally, three days later... Zhao Yue and others exploded!

"We'll try to clear a path. You stay here and guard it. If we succeed, follow us immediately. If we fail, wait until we retreat, close the gate, and wait for rescue!"

This is also the only way at the moment. They rushed into the group of zombies in front of them with the idea of ​​risking everything, not to kill the enemy but to open a way to escape. However, Zhao Yue and others, who had originally prepared everything, obviously ignored how great the pressure brought by tens of thousands of zombies was.

The breakout was obviously a failure, so Zhao Yue and others had no choice but to retreat. However, at that moment they suddenly discovered another desperate thing.

The only door leading to the inside... is closed?!

Yes, they had agreed to close the gate after they retreated, but faced with the scene of countless zombies swarming in, they were completely timid and closed it directly before Zhao Yue and others came back.

However, this closure undoubtedly meant the end of several members of Zhao Yue's team.

At this point, their special powers have been almost exhausted, and even the weapons and ammunition they carried have been used up. If they face zombies in this situation, being torn to pieces will undoubtedly be their final outcome.

In this situation, they evacuated to the closed door. Through the windows on the second floor, they could clearly see the shivering crowd inside. At the same time, Zhao Yue and others who shouted to open the door saw the deep indifference and... cold human nature in their eyes.

Because of fear, they... were abandoned!

And among them, Zhao Yue even saw... his own father!

Although he could see a trace of reluctance in the other person's eyes, for the sake of his own safety, he resolutely chose to give up his son, the son who risked his life to save him!

109. Save people

Sad? Of course I am!

Despair? Maybe!

However, all these negative emotions have been replaced by deep surprise at this moment... Why surprise?

The answer is the two figures of beautiful girls, one tall and one short, standing in front of Zhao Yue at this moment. They are clearly in the end times but look like fairies descending from heaven.

Two girls, one in black and one in white, stood casually in front of him. Perhaps they did not come to save him on purpose but just happened to appear in front of him. When the two figures fell from the sky, a black hole-like light flashed clearly, and then, in Zhao Yue's incredulous eyes, the zombies in front of him disappeared in an instant.

Yes, it was not shattering, nor was it death, but it was truly and completely disappeared, without even a trace left.

In this situation, before Zhao Yue even had the time to thank or speak, the two people in front of her completely ignored her and started communicating among themselves.

"Sister, are you going to come or am I going to come?"

The tall girl, whose slim and hot figure could not be concealed by the black tight combat uniform, addressed the little girl next to her in a white dress, who looked like a young lady, as "sister". This scene was obviously a bit strange, but the two of them seemed to take advantage of it. They heard the little girl roll her eyes slightly and say:

"Of course you're here. Your sister is now a 'Level 1 Summoner' and I don't even have the ability to fight!"

As he said this, he was met with a teasing laugh from the tall girl:

"How could that be? A first-level summoning spell is also a summoning spell. How about you summon it and try it out, sister?"

Asking with a smile, Yu was actually quite curious about what Yu Huan could "summon" at level one. After all, after using it only once at the beginning, Yu Huan put it away and did not show it again, and it seemed that he had no intention of revealing it at all.

"That thing is useless."

However, in response to Yu's teasing words, Yu Huan said without thinking:

"It's just a ghost thing. It has no other use except to harm people and be eaten. It's better not to summon it!"

As she said this, she looked as if she was not going to use the summoning technique. Looking at this, Yu Huan obviously knew that although she was physically strong enough, as Yu had said before, it was impossible for her to really fight a group of disgusting zombies in close combat. Therefore, Yu did not continue to tease her, but smiled slightly, and then stretched out his palm and lightly tapped the zombies that were gradually surrounding him.

"Om~~~"

There was nothing unusual, just calm ripples that spread out in all directions with her as the center in an instant. However, what was truly shocking was that at that moment, the zombies that were originally swarming towards her with crazy roars suddenly stopped their actions as if their connection was disconnected.

Then...

"Pfft~~~"

The zombie closest to Yu suddenly turned into powder and scattered on the ground, leaving only a light blue glass ball-like bead on the ground.

"Puff puff puff~~~"

Just like a chain reaction, Zhao Yue, who was behind the two sisters, was no longer stunned, but his world view was completely shattered. He saw that within a range of about 100 meters away from the two sisters in front of him, all the zombies began to turn into dust little by little and dissipated in the air in an instant, and then the same beads of different colors fell to the ground.

"..."

Silence, deathly silence.

This sudden and bizarre scene not only stunned the rescued Zhao Yue, but also the trembling people who were hiding in the nearby building and watching this place were also stunned. At the same time, Zhao Yue's companions were also in the same state...

Everyone was stunned, including the zombies. The only difference was that the zombies, who only had instincts left, naturally did not have the emotion of fear. The reason they were stunned was entirely because their "brains" were also stunned!

Yes, on a tall building in the distance, the leader of the zombies who witnessed all this, that high-level zombie, instinctively sensed the danger of death almost the moment he saw Yu make a move. He almost controlled the zombies in the next moment of their stunned state, and then he turned around and ran away instinctively.

"Yu, the boss is about to run away!"

As the leader escaped, it was obvious that the zombies around him began to retreat like a tide. Yu Huan glanced at the direction the zombies fled and immediately spoke.

However, Yu had no intention of intercepting him. He just smiled at the direction the other party fled and casually smiled at the little girl beside him and said:

"It's okay, I'm in a good mood today, let him go!"

He was just in a good mood and was being willful. After all, being alone with his sister was definitely the most exciting moment for Yu, so it was just a trivial matter of losing his king... so he just let it go!

Of course, when these words reached Zhao Yue's ears, it was obviously a different situation. However, as the one who was rescued, he obviously had no right to express his opinion.

"..."

The originally dangerous loss tide dissipated because of the two girls who suddenly appeared. The most surprising thing was that none of the six people in their team, including Zhao Yue, died. This was obviously an amazing and surprising thing.

Of course, only the people in Zhao Yue's team were surprised. As for the survivors in the "safe zone" on the other side, they were obviously not as surprised as they imagined. Instead, they became a little worried.

After all, no matter how you look at the current situation, they were the ones who harmed Zhao Yue and others. If they just died like this, it would be fine. They could also comfort themselves with peace of mind by saying that the other party was seeking death and it was not their fault, and then of course they would conceal the matter.

However, Zhao Yue and others did not die. When they thought about the other party's identity as a psychic, many of the survivors immediately turned pale.

Of course, there are also some people who seem to think that they have done nothing wrong in order to protect themselves, so they feel justified, but that has nothing to do with Yu Huan.

They had no intention of rescuing anyone, but only came to gain some "experience". Since the zombies had left, the two of them obviously had no intention of staying here any longer. Just as Yu casually waved her hand, the next second she saw densely packed "glass balls" within a hundred miles above the ground instantly flying up, and then gathered directly in front of her.

"This should be the so-called crystal core, right? It does contain a lot of energy!"

She casually put away all the glass balls, picked up one and put it in her hand and said so. Yu Huan on the side was not as frugal as her and asked curiously:

"Why collect this stuff? It has a lot of energy, but it's too patchy. It's of no use to us!"

It's not surprising that she said that. After all, compared to her own divine power or magic power, although this amount of power can be said to be a good energy system in this world, it is nothing more than garbage to Yu Huan and Yu.

However, Yu Huan didn't understand why Yu wanted to collect such garbage. Although Yu wanted to explain, it was obviously not the right time, so she smiled at Yu Huan and said:

"Well~~~ it's useful after all. I'll explain it to you later!"

As he said this, his gaze slowly passed Yu Huan and then fell on Zhao Yue behind him.

It should be said that it was the first time that someone had laid their eyes on him from just now until now. The change from ignoring to noticing the look made Zhao Yue feel a little nervous and excited for some reason. However, Yu suddenly spoke in a casual but unyielding tone:

"Hey, you... We just saved you, so we can be considered your saviors, so now you have to repay us!"

He said this without any euphemism, but simply and directly, which obviously made Zhao Yue and his teammates slightly stunned. They were already stunned and full of awe because of Yu's casual display of skills. Now when he suddenly spoke, Zhao Yue nodded without even thinking.

It seemed that he had just realized that he had been rescued, and without thinking, he responded decisively:

"Of course, thank you both ladies for saving my life. If you have anything to say, please let me know!"

The life-saving grace is greater than heaven, especially when compared with the group of guys in the shelter behind him. Obviously, at this moment, Zhao Yue's heart was filled with admiration for Yu Huan and Yu, and the rest was only deep gratitude. His tone was gradually firm without any other emotions.

Such a sincere answer obviously made Yu nod in satisfaction. At least he was a very honest person, and he should be qualified as a "tour guide".

When arriving in the new world, a qualified tour guide is naturally indispensable. After all, although Yu can roughly know some basic information about the world through the system, everything else is unknown, especially the distribution and division of forces in this world, etc. These are undoubtedly things that need to be figured out as soon as possible.

Yu Huan obviously didn't have much awareness of this. After all, he had never done such a "high-end" task before. Finally, after thinking about it, he decided to leave everything to his sister.

I... just follow behind and win!

"Okay then, if that's the case... bring your teammates and follow us!"
