"You, you can't go over there!" A red-clothed boy with a center part in his hair blocked Ma Yunyang's path at the entrance of the residential area.
"Younger... brother?" Yunyang uncertainly probed whether this was a human.
"You see, I'm the senior student from the big region, I'm here to save you~" Yunyang took out his student ID and ID card in a tone used to coax children.
The little boy took the student ID and ID card with a mix of belief and doubt, and carefully examined them. His tiny eyebrows furrowed together as he stared at Yunyang: "Is this really you?"
"This is me."
"Is this really you?" The boy pointed at the clean person in the ID, comparing it to the greasy, unkempt man in front of him.
"This is not yours!" The little boy threw back the identification.
"You're saying he's not me? I'm saying it's not me either... I was young at the time..." Yunyang attempted to continue, but was interrupted by Zhuge Ning: "Wait, wait, big brother, now is not the time to continue the joke, hey!"
Yunyang squinted his eyes, as if it was time to let you know who's the boss. Just as he was about to make a move on Zhuge Ning next to him, he was interrupted by a familiar voice.
" Yu Nan, bring them in. They should be survivors from the big district," a female voice came, but it was from inside the small district. The boy looked warily at Yunyang and said, "Follow me."
Three people walked in a winding path and entered the large dormitory. Then, in the main hall, they saw a sword stuck in the ground.
"Um... senior sister?" Yunyang hesitated for a moment, then uncertainly called out to the sword in the hall.
"Here I am," a soft and beautiful female voice came from the second floor. The two looked up and saw a woman in a blue dress, her hair tied up, walking down from the second floor.
Realizing his foolishness, Yunyang laughed, "Oh, haha, I knew it, how could a fool like me fail the mission?" Far away, Huangpu Xin sneezed and frowned, "Is someone cursing at me?"
"I have seen you before, junior brother," the woman spoke.
"Ah... I'm sorry, I just feel familiar, but I don't remember well..." Ma Yunyang replied honestly.
The girl covered her mouth with her delicate hand and chuckled lightly, "As expected, junior brother, at the New Year's Eve party when we were singing 'Toasting with Wine,' you took my microphone, didn't you~"
Ma Yunyang was stunned for a moment, feeling extremely embarrassed. He thought to himself, "It's been a year, how does someone still remember that?"
Unlike other places, this university doesn't have many taboos. During the festival evening party, people bring their own drinks, so naturally someone brought alcohol. At last year's New Year's party, classmate Ma Yunyang drank a lot of high-proof liquor brought by Huangpu Xin, then grabbed the host's microphone. In the speechless expression of Tiangang, he sang a song, but he was off-key.
"Ah, haha, it's, it's the senior sister, hehe, sorry about that night..."
"Nothing to pursue," the woman smiled, "Let me introduce myself. I am Yuyin, and this is Yu Nan," she said, touching the child's head.
"I am Bo Ma Yunyang, and this is Zhuge Ning," the three of them sat down on the sofa, and the boy hid behind the woman.
After understanding the purpose of Yunyang, the woman shook her head and said, "Thank you for coming to save us, but under the current circumstances, I cannot immediately believe you. I hope you can understand."
"I understand, I understand."
"And we have established defenses here, which may not be available in other places for our safety," the red-clothed boy behind Yuyin said proudly.
"Um, may I ask what kind of defenses you have?" Yunyang asked in confusion.
"This... is not very convenient. Just know that we have surrounded the central area, so no one can come in or out, which can effectively defend against zombies."
Seeing Yunyang's confident look, Yunyang nodded.
"The food and water, I'm afraid the supermarkets in the central and small areas can only support you for a week."
Looking at the elementary and middle school students poking their heads out upstairs, Yunyang estimated that there might be forty or fifty of these kids. "Even if there are only this many people left, I'm afraid it's still not enough..."
"Currently, we don't have any food sources other than the supermarket... Do you have any plans?" After confirming their identification with Yunyang, Yuyin continued to ask.
In response to Yuyin's question, Yunyang said something unrelated: "You two must be under a lot of pressure to protect this place, or maybe you need some precious consumables."
Yunyang's expression changed, and he asked alertly, "How did you know?"
Yunyang waved his hand and said, "I have no interest in props. I guessed it. Even someone like me, who can control metal, has limits. So your spatial abilities must also have limits. That's why I think in this situation, a military base in that country is the best place to go."
Yunyang thought about it.
Yunyang looked at her and continued, "Human power is sometimes limited. Although communication has been cut off, the general direction where the army was stationed before the sudden change can be determined. (In this fictional world, the army's location is not a secret here.)"
"Then let's go now, why are we still standing here?" Zhuge Ning's eyes lit up.
Yin continued, "Our city Q is located along the coast. Assuming the government has conducted search and rescue operations, from last night until now, both on land and at sea, the military should have already entered the urban area. However, it's already past 11 o'clock and there's still no sign of them, which indicates that something unexpected has happened..."
Yunyang nodded, "Either it's a natural disaster, or... man-made."
"Can you stop speaking in riddles, big brother?" Zhuge Ning, a rich kid in junior high, timely jumped in to disrupt the atmosphere.
Yunyang squinted and said, "...So either the military was blocked by zombies or something else, or people who have newly gained abilities have turned against us."
"Huh? Shouldn't people with new abilities be dealing with the zombie horde? Why would they turn against us?" Zhuge Ning asked, puzzled.
"Some people are not law-abiding citizens like us..." Yunyang sighed.
"What should we do?" Zhuge Ning slumped in despair on the sofa in the hall.
"We need to break through with the children and head inland," Yunyang stated his idea.
"It's impossible! We rely on the buildings to establish our defense. Once we start moving, we won't be able to take care of so many children. Besides, you just arrived, big crybaby..." Yu Nan was about to curse but was stopped by Yuyin.
"Sorry for the misunderstanding. My little brother isn't very good at speaking, but... I really can't take the risk just for a vague military protection area. I'm sorry."
"Don't rush to refuse," Yunyang shook his head.
"How much do you know about the Task World? Can we exchange some information?" BoMa Yunyang asked in a deep voice. Yinyin thought for a moment and did not refuse.
After a moment, the two exchanged initial tasks. Yinyin went to the world of "Chinese Paladin 3", but unlike BoMa Yunyang, she directly replaced Long Kui and experienced three lifetimes, while Yunyang was just an outsider.
Yu Nan even directly arrived in the world after the end of my adventure house plot, and obtained the power of Menan and Fanyu.
"! Are you a fierce god? ! Just this kid? ? ?" Zhuge Ning exclaimed in shock, quickly shrinking behind Ma Yunyang.
"Um, do you know about this copy?" Bo Ma Yunyang asked in confusion.
"This is the big shot from that novel. Oh, I forgot, Boss, you're a good student and don't read novels... In short, it's very powerful. These two forces, one is in red and the other is a fierce god, belong to the ceiling of that novel," Zhuge Ning explained.
"That's not good, you're overreacting so much," Yunyang said puzzled.
"Well... but this novel is about ghosts..." Zhuge Ning muttered hesitantly.
Ma Yunyang was also surprised, then looked at Yu Nan, shook his head, and said that this little boy didn't pose any threat.
Ma Yunyang compared the tasks of several people and found too many differences to continue, and then expressed his own guess.
"I want to break through to the inland because of our capabilities," Yunyang said.
"What's wrong with our capabilities?" Yu Nan asked in confusion.
"I have a hypothesis. If we have the ability to watch movies, cartoons, and so on, what about animals?"
"!!" Zhuge Ning stared wide-eyed and murmured, "We haven't seen..."
"Yes, I haven't seen any animals. This is the south, from birds to cockroaches, there's nothing, not even stray cats," Yunyang said with doubt.
"Could they have been eaten by zombies?" Zhuge Ning said uncertainly.
"Zombie eating cockroaches?" Yunyang looked at him.
"Uh..." Zhuge Ning was speechless.
"Do you still remember [the game start]? Although I didn't hear it, Zhuge Ning said that you should have all heard it. So I guess the animals may have been taken away for mutation, and now the animals may be in the process of mutation," Yunyang said slowly.
"What's the purpose? Giving humans abilities can be said to be a response to zombies, but what about mutated animals?" Yuyin wondered.
"Raise the difficulty," Zhuge Ning replied.
"Some games have a time limit mechanism, and if you exceed a certain time, the difficulty will increase to filter out low-end players..."
"Only ordinary people can achieve this result," Yunyang said.
"Sigh..." The four fell silent.
"Wait, are we not actually exploring the ultimate human game?" Zhuge Ning came to his senses and asked a soul-searching question.
"Um, yeah, the reason I suggested you all move inland is because of mutations, or rather, animals gaining abilities," Yunyang also came to his senses.
"Animals... are you talking about the deep sea?!" Yu Nan exclaimed in horror.
"Yes, once deep-sea creatures gain abilities, due to their size and diversity, they would be absolutely catastrophic for humans. The most obvious threat is that humans wouldn't be able to withstand the tsunamis," Yunyang nodded.
"Let's consider it and give you an answer tonight," Yuyin hesitated.
"Okay, but this is all speculation... and I can't travel at night. I suspect there might be supernatural creatures, and I might not be able to handle them," Yunyang pondered.
"Okay," Yuyin and Yu Nan's expressions became subtle.
"You will be staying next door to my sister and me. I will have lunch sent to you later," Yu Nan led the two to the upstairs room and said.
"No need, we brought food, and talented people should have storage space." Yu Nan nodded in understanding. "By the way, if my sister and I make a decision, we'll call you to confirm the specific plan. It might disturb you."
"Okay," Yunyang responded.
