I'm a zombie, what's the point of awakening the yellow-haired system?

"Shut up!" A rough voice sounded outside the door, "If I hear any more noise, no one will be able to sleep tonight!"

Yaer quickly gestured to everyone to lie down and pretend to be asleep.

She leaned against the wall, closed her eyes, but pricked up her ears, listening carefully to the noise outside.

The morning sun shone through the worn wooden windows, but it could not dispel the gloom in the house. The girls worked mechanically, some were chopping wood, some were washing clothes, and the iron chains dragged on the ground with a harsh sound.

Suddenly, a bald man swaggered into the yard with a bunch of keys in his hand.

"Xiao Cui!" he shouted at the top of his voice, "You performed well last night, and the higher-ups have decided to let you go!"

All the girls stopped what they were doing and looked at Xiao Cui. She was confused at first, then she showed an expression of ecstasy.

"Really...really?" Xiao Cui stood up trembling, the chains rattling.

"Of course it's true!" The man grinned, revealing his yellow teeth. "The higher-ups said that as long as you complete the mission well, you can settle down in the safe zone!"

Yaer frowned, feeling that something was wrong. She noticed the vicious look in the man's eyes and the meaningful smiles of the guards around him.

"Xiao Cui..." She was about to open her mouth to remind her, but was stopped by Liu'er.

"Stop talking," Liu'er whispered, "Let her go...at least...at least there is still hope..."

Xiao Cui was untied from the chains, and she was so excited that she burst into tears. She turned to look at the other girls, her eyes full of longing: "Sisters, I'll go first! You must cheer up, and we'll see you in the safe zone!"

The girls quickened their work, with hope in their eyes. They thought that as long as they worked hard to complete the task, they would be free like Xiao Cui.

Little did she know that Xiao Cui was taken to a laboratory behind the mountain.

"Here comes a new one." The man in the white coat pushed his glasses and spoke in a nonchalant tone.

"This time it's SS-grade, and we should be able to dig out a good crystal core." Another researcher rubbed his hands excitedly.

Xiao Cui was tied to the operating table, looking at the cold instruments around her in horror. Only then did she realize that she had been deceived.

"No...don't...please..." She struggled desperately, but to no avail.

"Don't move," the researcher said impatiently, "it will be over soon."

The moment the scalpel cut her skin, Xiao Cui screamed miserably. Her pupils gradually became dilated, and her face was filled with despair.

"Wow, this crystal core is so beautiful." The researcher held up the bloody crystal core and looked at it carefully under the light.

"It's much better than the A-level one yesterday." A colleague came over, his eyes full of greed, "I wonder what level the next one will be..."

On the operating table, Xiao Cui's body gradually turned cold. Her eyes were still open, as if she was questioning this cruel world.

At the same time, the girls in the village are still working hard, dreaming of regaining their freedom one day.

Chapter 661 Finding a Way Out

The kitchen was filled with smoke and the sound of pots and pans colliding could be heard one after another.

Liu'er was busy frying the dishes in the pot, with beads of sweat on her forehead. While she was sprinkling salt into the pot, she secretly glanced at Ya'er's back, feeling nervous and admiring.

Yaer stood in the corner of the kitchen, holding a kitchen knife in her hand. She seemed to be cutting vegetables, but in fact she was scanning the surroundings with sharp eyes.

She pricked up her ears and listened carefully to the noise outside.

Whenever a guard passed by, she would deliberately cough loudly or chop with a kitchen knife loudly to cover up her actions.

"Sister Ya," Liu'er lowered her voice, with a hint of anxiety in her tone, "Have you found any clues?"

Ya'er didn't look back, but nodded slightly: "There is a small door behind the kitchen, which is usually unattended. I have observed that there will be a five-minute gap when the guards change shifts."

Liu'er's hands trembled, and she almost dropped the spatula on the ground: "Then when do we take action?"

"Wait a little longer," Ya'er's voice was calm and firm, "We need more information. Also, we have to find a way to bring the other sisters along."

Just then, there was a heavy sound of footsteps outside the kitchen. Yaer quickly put away her sharp gaze and pretended to concentrate on cutting vegetables. Liuer also lowered her head and frantically stir-fried the vegetables in the pot.

"Is the meal ready?" A rough voice sounded at the door.

Yaer raised her head, a smile on her face: "It will be ready soon, big brother, please wait a moment."

She walked quickly to the pot, picked up a spoon and began to serve the food. Sweat slid down her cheeks and dripped onto the steaming food. Her movements seemed flustered, but in fact they were orderly, and each spoonful was just right.

"Why are you so slow today?" the guard urged impatiently.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," Yaer apologized repeatedly, "We don't have enough people today, we're already doing our best."

Liu'er lowered her head and hurriedly put rice on the plate. Her fingers were trembling slightly, and she was nervous and afraid, afraid of revealing any flaws.

"Hurry up!" The guard knocked on the table impatiently. "If you dawdle any longer, I'll tell the boss!"

"It will be ready soon, it will be ready soon!" Yaer said as she quickened her movements. Her eyes remained calm, and she secretly glanced at the small door behind the kitchen while the guard was not paying attention.

Finally, the food was distributed. The guard carried the plates and walked out cursing. Yaer breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from her forehead.

"Sister Ya," Liu Er asked in a low voice, "what should we do next?"

Yaer smiled slightly, with a sly look in her eyes: "We'll take action tonight."

Liu'er's heart skipped a beat, she was nervous and excited. She knew that every step forward was full of danger, but as long as Ya'er was there, she felt safe.

As night fell, the village was completely silent. Yaer and Liuer quietly moved to the small door behind the kitchen, waiting for the guards to change shifts.

"Are you ready?" Yaer asked in a low voice.

Liu Er nodded and tightened the kitchen knife in her hand: "I'm ready."

Yaer took a deep breath and gently pushed open the small door.

The night wind blew in her face, bringing with it the chill of the mountains. She knew that every step she took next would be a matter of life and death, but she would never back down.

Because she is Yaer, the only hope for these girls.

The night was as dark as ink, and the cold wind was howling. Yaer carefully walked through the woods in the faint moonlight. Her steps were light, like an agile cat, with her ears erect, listening vigilantly to the movements around her.

Suddenly, a foul smell hit her face. Yaer frowned and walked in the direction of the smell. Her heartbeat quickened, and she had a vague sense of foreboding.

Passing through a bush, the sight before her froze her in place.

Dozens of bodies were lying in a mass grave. Under the moonlight, the pale faces looked particularly hideous. Yaer's eyes fell on the body in the front - it was Xiao Cui!

Her chest was empty, as if it had been dug open by something, and the bloody wound had turned black and rotten. Yaer's stomach churned and she almost vomited. She suppressed her nausea and squatted down to take a closer look.

"This is... the supernatural crystal has been dug out?" Yaer's voice trembled, her eyes full of shock and anger.

She stood up and looked around. The chests of each corpse were cut open, and the place where the supernatural crystal should be was empty. Some corpses were already rotten beyond recognition, while others were still fresh, obviously having been thrown here recently.

"I see..." Ya'er clenched her fists, her nails digging deep into her palms, "They don't want to let us go at all, but... they want to dig out the supernatural crystals!"

Her mind flashed back to all the abnormalities she had seen in the past few days: the girls who had been taken away and never came back, the guards' weird smiles, and the occasional words she heard in the kitchen...

"Damn it!" Yaer cursed in a low voice, with rage burning in her eyes. She finally understood the real purpose of this village - they were not human traffickers at all, but a criminal organization that specialized in hunting down people with special abilities and digging for crystals!

Yaer turned and ran, her heart beating like a drum. She had to tell Liuer and the other girls the news as soon as possible, otherwise they would all become the next victims!

When Liu'er returned to the kitchen, she was cleaning up the dishes. She was startled to see Ya'er rushing in, pale and breathless. "Sister Ya, what's wrong with you? What happened?"

Yaer grabbed Liu'er's hand and said in a low and hurried voice: "Liu'er, we have been deceived! Those girls who were taken away were not taken to the safe zone at all, but...they were dug out of their supernatural crystals while they were still alive!"

Liu Er's face turned pale in an instant: "Wha...what? How is this possible?"

"I saw it with my own eyes!" Ya'er's eyes were filled with pain and anger. "Xiao Cui's body was in the mass grave. There were dozens of other bodies. They all died in the same way!"

Liu Er covered her mouth, tears welling up in her eyes: "Oh my God...what should we...what should we do?"

Yaer took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down: "We must act immediately. We can't wait any longer. We must escape tonight!"

Liu Er wiped her tears and nodded vigorously: "Okay, I'll listen to you!"

Yaer quickly made a plan: "You go and inform the other sisters and ask them to get ready. I'll go to the back of the kitchen to scout out the way and make sure everything is safe."

Liu'er held Ya'er's hand tightly, her eyes full of trust and dependence: "Sister Ya, you must be careful."

Yaer smiled slightly and patted her shoulder: "Don't worry, we will definitely escape."

It was a dark night and the village was completely silent.

Yaer and Liuer acted separately, feeling nervous yet hopeful.

They know that every next step is a matter of life and death, but as long as they have each other, they will be able to find a way to survive!

Chapter 662 Mass Grave

Liu'er quietly slipped into the girls' room and gently woke up everyone who was sleeping. Her voice was very low, but with unquestionable firmness: "Sisters, wake up, we are saved!"

The girls opened their eyes dazedly, and when they saw Liu'er's anxious look, they suddenly woke up. They gathered in a circle and listened nervously to Liu'er's plan.

"Sister Ya has found a way out," Liu'er whispered, "We'll escape tonight!"

"Really?" A girl was so excited that she almost shouted out loud, but her companion next to her quickly covered her mouth.

"Shh..." Liu Er made a gesture to keep quiet, "Speak softly, don't let the guards find out."

The girls nodded, hope ignited in their eyes. They quickly put on their clothes and followed Liu'er quietly towards the kitchen.

At the same time, Yaer had already reached the small door behind the kitchen. She squatted in the shadows and listened carefully to the noise outside. The footsteps of the guards gradually faded away, and the shift change finally arrived.

"Now!" Yaer was secretly delighted and gently pushed open the small door.

The night wind blew in her face, bringing with it the chill of the mountains. Yaer took a deep breath and was about to call everyone to follow her when she suddenly heard a burst of hurried footsteps behind her.

"Not good!" Yaer's heart tightened and she quickly hid behind the door.

"Stop!" A rough voice sounded in the darkness, "Where do you want to run to?"

Yaer's heart was beating like a drum, and cold sweat was oozing out of her palms. She quietly poked her head out and saw several guards running towards her, holding shining machetes in their hands.

"We've been discovered!" Ya'er gritted her teeth and made a quick decision. She rushed out, kicked the guard in front of her and snatched the machete from his hand.

"Liu'er, lead everyone to run!" Ya'er shouted, waving a machete towards the remaining guards.

Liu Er heard the shouting and immediately rushed out of the kitchen with the girls. They were worried and scared when they saw Ya Er fighting against several guards alone.

"Sister Ya!" Liu'er's voice was tearful.

"Don't worry about me, run!" Ya'er shouted while fending off the guards' attacks, "Remember, run to the east, there is a path there!"

Liu'er gritted her teeth and pulled the girls around her to run eastward. Their figures quickly disappeared into the night.

Ya'er faced several guards alone. Although she was agile, she was outnumbered. Her arm was cut and blood dripped from her fingertips.

"Bitch, you're quite good at fighting!" A guard grinned and swung his knife at Yaer's shoulder.

Yaer dodged sideways and stabbed the opponent in the abdomen with her backhand. The guard screamed and fell to the ground.

"Who else?" Yaer panted, her eyes full of murderous intent.

The remaining guards were intimidated by her aura and did not dare to move forward. Yaer took the opportunity to turn around and run in the direction where Liuer and the others left.

In the night, Yaer's back looked particularly determined. She knew that as long as she had a breath left, she would never give up hope!

In the distance, Liu'er and the other girls had already run onto the path. They looked back and saw Ya'er's figure getting closer and closer.

"Sister Ya!" Liu'er shouted excitedly.

Yaer ran to them, her face covered in sweat but with a triumphant smile: "Hurry, let's keep running, we must leave here before dawn!"

The night was as dark as ink, and the cold wind was howling. Yaer and the other girls ran wildly on the path, and the roars and footsteps of the guards could be heard behind them. Their hearts were beating like drums, and their breathing was rapid, but no one dared to stop.

Suddenly, there was a strange noise ahead. Yaer stopped abruptly and signaled everyone to hide in the bushes on the side of the road.

"Shh—" She lowered her voice, "Someone is coming!"

The girls held their breath and stared ahead nervously. In the darkness, several figures approached quickly, and the one leading them was Zhang Chen!

"Yaer!" Zhang Chen recognized her at a glance, his eyes full of surprise and worry.

"Zhang Chen!" Ya'er was so excited that she almost shouted out loud, but she quickly calmed down, "Be careful, there are pursuers behind us!"

Zhang Chen nodded, turned around and said to the psychics behind him: "Prepare for battle!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the guards caught up. When they saw Zhang Chen and the others, they were stunned at first, then they rushed up with swords brandished and grinned.

"Looking for death!" Zhang Chen snorted coldly and waved his hands. A blazing flame swept out instantly, burning the front few guards into ashes.

Other people with special powers also took action, using various powers such as lightning, ice blades, wind blades, etc. to interweave together and defeat the guards.

Yaer took the opportunity to run to the girls and quickly took off the rings on their wrists. That was a device to limit the burst of superpowers. Once it was removed, the girls' superpowers would be restored.

"Hurry, take off the ring!" Yaer said as she helped Liuer untie the ring.
