BXBX NOVEL Chapter 14
Then, a smirk graced her lips and she remembered her recent reward.
Just as the plane was about to crash, Yun Xiaoxiao swiftly hid herself and the vehicle in a pocket dimension.
Colonel Unlucky, the zombies chasing her, was not that fortunate.
The impact of the massive plane squashed them into mincemeat.
The few who dodged the crushing impact were burned to ashes by the abrupt explosion.
The crash scene was chaos. The flaming plane skidded for several hundred meters before resting, belching up plumes of ash-gray smoke.
Eventually, the plane exploded.
The cabin was full of passengers, none survived and no bodies were found.
Yun Xiaoxiao emerged from the pocket dimension, with little chance to explore it as time was pressing.
She had to get back as soon as possible.
Thankfully, her journey was without incident.
An hour and a half later, Yun Xiaoxiao had safely returned to the East Ridge Villa.
At the entrance, she encountered a few wandering zombies.
She ignored them, swerving her car to move around them.
Having a few zombies around was actually advantageous - it meant fewer people would be eyeing the villa.
When she got home, she locked the door, took off her baseball cap, slipped off her shoes and relaxed on the sofa in the living room - she hadn\'t rested since yesterday.
She lay in a \'do-nothing\' pose for about ten minutes before flipping open the television, opening a pocket dimension to fetch a box of milk, fried chicken, roast duck, a bowl of nutritious porridge, and a box of fries…
She also fetched a massage chair, set it on the lowest setting, and then began enjoying her sumptuous meal, television, and massage.
Upon channel surfing, all she found was white noise or pre-recorded footage.
It made sense. The zombie outbreak was around 4 or 5 am when most TV station employees were sound asleep at home awaiting their shifts.
By the time daylight came, chaos had already started – it was impossible to expect people to still clock in at work.
Even for those who tried, accidents likely happened en route.
Seeing nothing interesting on TV, Yun Xiaoxiao switched it off.
Just as she was settling in, her phone began to vibrate.
On picking it up, she saw an emergency message on her otherwise blank screen.
EMERGENCY NOTICE! There have been terrorist attacks in several parts of our city. The police and military have been deployed – we expect this upheaval to be suppressed soon. Please stay home and do not venture outside! Please cooperate with the government\'s efforts to restore order!
Yun Xiaoxiao shook her head. People hadn\'t realized the gravity of the situation and merely saw it as a rebellion.
Little did they know, things would not calm down. The situation would escalate and spiral beyond control.
When the time comes, neither the police nor the military will be able to protect themselves, let alone the ordinary civilians.
At that time, a true riot about human nature will officially begin.
Yun Xiaoxiao knew how to read because, in her previous life, Big Brother not only taught her how to kill zombies, but on her eighth birthday, he also forced her to learn to read.
Although she didn\'t want to study, feeling that being able to kill zombies was enough, why bother learning to read? Reading wouldn\'t fill her stomach or exchange for crystal cores, but Big Brother was very persistent.
In the end, although she learned reluctantly, her natural talent for learning was so strong that she mastered five thousand basic Chinese characters within just one year.
After Big Brother died, she would still find some books to read, perhaps out of loneliness, or maybe to commemorate that man who was a teacher, a friend, and a father figure.
It was also thanks to reading some books that she didn\'t grow up completely ignorant at the age of five, experiencing slaughter and the collapse of humanity in a post-apocalyptic world. Her personality might have been even more sinister, cruel, and wicked than it is now.
Although she isn\'t much better now, she at least tries to restrain herself, at least not killing the innocent indiscriminately.
Yun Xiaoxiao was eating while browsing posts online.
"Wuwuwu, it\'s so scary!
Last night, I was asleep when I heard a knocking at the door. I rent a place with others, so I thought it was a roommate who had forgotten their key and went to open the door.
But as soon as I opened it, a person with a mouth full of blood, looking very terrifying, lunged at me.
Luckily, I hadn\'t fully opened the door, and there was a chain on it, which prevented them from getting in.
I was terrified and tried desperately to close the door.
But... but I ended up breaking the person\'s neck! Wuwuwu, does this count as murder?"
"The world has gone mad, truly mad. This morning, as soon as I stepped out, the Cleaning Auntie started chasing me. I don\'t even like old and ugly people, and now I\'m too scared to even leave the house!"
"Hahaha, finally I don\'t have to go to work anymore, to hell with 996, to hell with those crappy bosses, I\'m not doing it anymore, I\'m going to lie at home until I mold."
"Can we really not go out anymore? I only have two bags of instant noodles, three eggs, and a five-pound bag of rice that\'s about to expire at home. Am I going to starve to death?"
"Oye! All those years of reading zombie novels have finally become reality, light will be my power, and I will eventually reign supreme!"
...
Most people still haven\'t realized how serious the situation is. Office workers are glad they don\'t have to work, and students are celebrating not having to go to school.
Only those who have truly seen the horror of zombies are panicking.
Yun Xiaoxiao stopped reading after a while.
After eating and drinking her fill, she entered the space.
She hadn\'t yet taken a good look at what it actually looked like inside.
The system space inside was huge, easily the size of over 140 soccer fields.
The entire space was divided in two, one side completely empty, and the other neatly stacked with all kinds of supplies.
The first thing that caught her eye was the rows of imposing large airplanes.
Then there were all sorts of vehicles.
And then everything for eating, wearing, and using.
Yun Xiaoxiao discovered that she could instantly go anywhere in the space just by thinking about it.
After looking over all her assets, Yun Xiaoxiao felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.
"System, are you there?"
【Yes I am.】
"Where is the reward, the Spirit Spring?"
【It\'s over there in the open area.】
With a mere thought, Yun Xiaoxiao quickly moved to the open area.
There, as expected, was a well.
"So, in this well, there\'s spring water?"
【Yes, host.】
"Does it truly have the abilities to cleanse meridians, rejuvenate beauty, and bolster the body?
【You can give it a try, host.】
Yun Xiaoxiao immediately conjured a large basin.
"Can I control the well water with my thoughts?"
【Indeed, you can.】
Yun Xiaoxiao made a trial. Certainly enough, the spring water obeyed her, turning into a thin stream flowing into the basin.
This is amazing!
Licking her lips, Yun Xiaoxiao was just about to undress, when she abruptly furrowed her eyebrows.
"Aren\'t you going to look away when I\'m bathing?"
She waited for a while, but there was no reply.
Yun Xiaoxiao: ......
