The afterlife blew up Gensokyo

Chapter Four: Yukari Yakumo's First Day as Savior

The earth gradually awakens, and a ray of dawn breaks the stillness of the night.

On the summit of a tranquil mountain near Haihua City, a black void was silently ripped open, and an old, dilapidated steam train, invisible to ordinary people, pulled out from it, dragging its long carriages.

As one of the ten wonders in the void, the Interdimensional Train is not something everyone is qualified to board unless they have a ticket or can actually see the train.

"...This is the new world?"

As the train disappeared into the void once again, Yukari Yakumo looked up at the sky, a hint of surprise clearly flashing in her eyes.

"Isn't this world supposed to be on the verge of destruction? But why does it seem so peaceful?"

"It's about to be destroyed, but it's not already destroyed. There's still some time before that time comes. Please understand that, okay?"

After pursing his lips and briefly sensing his surroundings, Shi Bai casually tore open a spatial rift in front of him and stepped inside.

"Stop dawdling, just come with me. We'll find a place to stay first, and we'll talk to you about the rest later."

"Oh……"

Looking at the spatial rift that had been forcibly torn open in front of her, Yukari Yakumo's lips twitched slightly. This was the first time she had ever seen such an unusually simple and brutal way of traveling.

Tearing through space with bare hands... Is it really because they're not in their original world that they can do whatever they want in this world?

Three hours later.

A strange brother and sister moved into a luxury apartment in the city center.

What should we do next?

Sitting on the soft sofa, Yukari Yakumo, now dressed in modern clothes, spoke with a hint of anticipation in her voice.

"This world seems quite interesting. Is this all that humanity can achieve with the power of technology?"

Although their attire and striking appearance initially attracted a lot of attention, Yukari Yakumo was clearly more curious about this world that was obviously dominated by humans.

She wasn't unsophisticated; she had visited Lunar Capital before and seen the city from afar. She had personally experienced the technological creations and massive spaceships produced by Lunar Capital. However, all the technological creations of Lunar Capital were prepared for war. How could they compare to the new world she was in now?

"Didn't I tell you long ago? You are to save this world and become its savior."

While cooking in the kitchen using a rice cooker and a series of modern kitchen utensils, Shi Bai answered casually.

"Three months from now, a mysterious virus will spread rapidly across the world, infecting more than 80% of humanity and turning them into bloodthirsty zombies. Your task is to save the world... This is just a tutorial level; you should be able to pass it, right?"

"More than 80% of the people in this world will die!?"

Upon hearing Shi Bai's words, Yakumo Yukari was immediately horrified.

"What do you think? This is a cataclysmic disaster, not some child's play. This world is destined to be destroyed. There are countless fragile worlds like this in the endless void."

Shi Bai took two eggs out of the refrigerator and cracked them on the edge of the pot, his tone extremely calm.

"Remember this, your role now is that of a savior. There are no supernatural powers in this world right now, and with your abilities, you are invincible. With your power, can you ultimately save this world? To be honest, I'm really looking forward to it."

"This is too cruel."

Walking onto the balcony and looking down at the bustling traffic and crowds below, Yukari Yakumo frowned deeply.

"What is the truth behind the destruction of this world? That kind of virus couldn't have appeared in this world for no reason, could it?"

"The truth? Honestly, I don't think you want to know the truth."

Carrying a plate in each hand, Shi Bai walked out of the kitchen and placed the dishes he had cooked on the dining table.

"This can be called the end of the world, or it can be called an opportunity for the world. It is not just a virus, but a key that can unlock the mystery. That virus will bring a brand new power from outside the world to this world."

"But what is the origin of the virus?"

Yukari Yakumo turned her head to look at him.

"There are many beings in the endless void who have no place to belong. They transcend the world and wander in the endless void."

Shi Bai glanced at Yakumo Yukari, then sat down at the table.

"The source of this virus could be that some being in the void suddenly got hungry and wanted to eat something else, or it could be that they accidentally threw it into this world when they were throwing away trash, or it could be that this world wanted to take things a step further and made a deal with some benevolent being in the void... But judging from the current situation, it is probably the first one."

"Just like that... casually?"

Yukari Yakumo looked on in disbelief.

"Just because I was hungry..."

"When you walk by the roadside, do you pay attention to the ants building nests underground? Don't be ridiculous. What does it matter if you accidentally wash away an anthill while splashing water? The two are not even on the same level. If I destroy you, what does it have to do with you?"

Shi Bai pursed his lips.

"No one will feel sorry for the destruction of ants, but if the ant were a cat, or even a more powerful dog, perhaps cat lovers or dog lovers would step in. But have you ever heard of anyone who loves ants? This lowly world is just ants. There is indeed order in the endless void and myriad worlds, but which country's laws would protect a tiny ant?"

"This……"

Yukari Yakumo opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she couldn't utter a single word.

It wasn't until quite a while later that she finally spoke in a low voice.

"According to what you just said, there is also a distinction between good and evil in the endless void?"

"Good and evil? What is there to say about absolute good and evil? There is only the division of camps, which is the widely accepted fact to date."

While casually opening a bottle of soda for himself, Shi Bai spoke lazily.

"Lawful Good, Neutral Good, Chaotic Good, Lawful Neutral, Absolute Neutral, Chaotic Neutral, Lawful Evil, Neutral Evil, Chaotic Evil... those are the nine major alignments. Destroying a world without cause is unacceptable; that's something only an apocalypse would do. If such a thing were to happen, naturally, those good alignments would emerge to cause trouble. However, they wouldn't care about low-level worlds like these, which are as insignificant as ants. Encountering one by chance is fine, but coming specifically for this one world is impossible, because there are too many like it... and who says it isn't an opportunity for this world?"

"An opportunity? But this world is about to be destroyed. Once it's been targeted by that kind of being, there's no way this world can escape, right? Isn't this..."

It took her quite a while to sort out the information she had just received, and Yakumo Yukari stammered as she spoke.

"you think too much."

Shi Bai glanced at Yakumo Yukari, his words carrying a strong sense of speechlessness.

"Even if the guy who released the virus into this world is from the chaotic evil faction, he wouldn't stoop so low as to attack a tiny ant multiple times, unless he wants to become the common enemy of all factions like the apocalypse. Apart from the apocalypse, no being would dare to openly and completely destroy a world... unless he wants to become a wanted criminal for such a trivial matter."

"But this is already considered..."

"That virus could have promoted the evolution of this world, and was a great opportunity for this world to take another step forward. It's just that the world itself couldn't withstand it, so how can you blame it?"

Shi Bai rolled his eyes.

"Then, in the process, the virus mutated a second, third, fourth, or even Nth time because it fit the environment of this world, leading to the complete destruction of this world. But what happened in this world was just a subtle accident. It was just bad luck for this world. What does it have to do with me? To put it even more bluntly, the destruction of the world was caused by the virus. Go find the virus, why are you looking for me? This kind of world is too weak. No one will make a big fuss over such a trivial matter because there are too many excuses to come up with."

"...You seem quite skilled at it."

Yukari Yakumo's lips twitched slightly.

"I think I already told you I have the highest-level bounty, right? Is it strange that you're familiar with that?"

Shi Bai had a strange look on his face.

"Instead of trying to figure these things out, you should think about how you can save the world and become its savior. If you can't even get past the beginner level, then you don't need to go to the next few worlds."

Yukari Yakumo: "..."

I almost forgot about that... So what exactly did you do to deserve the highest bounty in the endless void?

"Even if you've told me so much, I still don't know what to do. I don't even know what a virus is..."

With a slight headache, Yukari Yakumo rubbed her forehead and sighed helplessly.

"Saving is much harder than destroying. If I had to save billions of people one by one, I would be exhausted... Could you give me a few more hints?"

"A hint? I can give you some hints."

After thinking for a moment, Shi Bai nodded, then reached out and took out his phone to connect to the world's Wi-Fi, entered the search network, and began to read the search results word by word.

"A virus is a tiny, simple organism containing only one type of nucleic acid (DNA or RNA), which must parasitize living cells and multiply by replication. A virus is a non-cellular life form, composed of a long chain of nucleic acid and a protein coat. Viruses do not have their own metabolic mechanisms, nor do they..."

"Thank you. May I go for a walk by myself?"

Interrupting the person in front of her, Yakumo Yukari stood up from the sofa with a blank expression.

"I want to travel around and see the world, and learn a little about it."

"Don't you need to finish reading it?"

Shi Bai raised his phone to the other person.

"There's still a part about the boss that I haven't read yet."

"……Need not."

"Okay, whatever you want. Here are the keys and wallet."

Putting down his phone, Shi Bai tossed over a set of keys and a wallet with great pleasure.

"Although there are no hard and fast rules, I think you'd better follow the rules of the human world. I want you to be the savior of this world, not an 'outcast' in people's eyes."

"……I see."

After a moment of silence, Yukari Yakumo nodded.

"Should I change my hair color? It seems like almost everyone here has black hair, so wouldn't blonde hair look a little...?"

"It's nothing. If people ask, just say you're from abroad, right? Golden hair is nothing, rainbow hair is truly outrageous. You haven't seen the legendary 'Funeral Love Family'..."

Shi Bai waved his hand casually.

"There's 3000 yuan in your wallet. Buy whatever you want, spend it as you please, just don't bring back any weird or unusual things... What else do you want?"

Shi Bai looked at Yakumo Yukari's outstretched hand with a strange expression.

"3000 yuan is too little. A car costs hundreds of thousands. Can you give me more?"

Yukari Yakumo looked completely at ease.

"Don't we have those convenient things called credit cards or bank cards here? Why don't you just give me one? I don't need too much money in it, just a few tens of millions will do."

"……How many?"

"They can just casually give you tens of millions."

Yukari Yakumo was quite serious.

"A car costs hundreds of thousands, and even tens of millions can only buy a dozen or so cars at most, which is barely enough to make ends meet."

"Don't even think about it, there's only 3000 yuan!!"

Shi Bai responded with a dark expression.

"It's one thing for Heka to spend money like crazy, but how come you have absolutely no concept of money either? Tens of millions... Do you want me to come to this world and rob a bank with a watermelon knife?"

"But 3000 yuan is really too little."

Yukari Yakumo was very dissatisfied and argued her case forcefully.

"If you don't want to pay, that's fine, but you have to give me a car, like that unicorn from the Demon Realm, it would be really nice."

"...The virus has now infiltrated the bodies of everyone in the world, and there are still three months until the outbreak and the end of the world."

After a moment of silent eye contact, Shi Bai lowered his head and chose to continue eating.

"I'm really looking forward to your performance. Keep it up!"

P.S.: I'm opening a bounty, and the bounty conditions are the same as before.

Chapter Five: The World's Protagonist and the Transmigrator

"call……"

After checking the date and time on her phone several times, panting heavily, Su Ning stumbled onto the balcony and looked down.

The sunlight was warm but not scorching, and the streets below were orderly, with a constant flow of traffic. It was nothing like the bloody hell on earth he remembered, a place filled with ruins and walking corpses.

After staring blankly down for a long time, Su Ning gave a weak smile and slowly slid down to the ground, leaning against the wall.

He was reborn, returning from that hellish world to three months before the apocalypse.

Although the world seems peaceful and stable as always, Su Ning knows that the end of the world has already arrived silently.

Three months later, a mysterious virus broke out simultaneously around the world, and nearly 80% of the population was infected in the first instance and turned into mindless, bloodthirsty zombies. The kind of zombie virus disaster that humans had imagined in movies and TV shows came to the world in a sudden way.
