Ding! A goddess meeting the system's standards has been detected. Scanning detailed information. Name: Su Yun Age: 27 Appearance: 88 points Figure: 94 points Inner qualities: 100 points (pure and flawless) Total score: 90 points Evaluation: Taking her in can unlock one random supply.
A score of 90 was currently the lowest score for a woman who met the system's requirements.
But even with the lowest score, this female police officer was still a great beauty among ordinary people.
She was far beyond the kind of woman Shen Yi had ever had access to before.
Especially her valiant, dashing aura, which was vastly different from that of other women.
As for the long-haired girl beside Zhou Wan'er, although Shen Yi thought she was not ugly and could even be called delicate and pleasant-looking, she had not triggered a system notification.
Apparently, she did not meet the requirements for unlocking supplies.
"Hello, comrade. My name is Su Yun, and I'm from the Municipal Public Security Bureau. How did you get in?" After introducing herself, Su Yun asked seriously.
In her view, although Shen Yi might not be a police officer, he probably was not a bad person either. Otherwise, he would not have risked going outside to save people at a time like this.
"My name is Shen Yi." Shen Yi paused, then glanced toward the door. "I just walked in like this. What's wrong?"
The female police officer froze upon hearing that.
Zhou Wan'er and the long-haired girl were also stunned, and they could not help crying out, "Brother Shen Yi, you just walked in!?"
"Yeah. What's wrong?"
Naturally, Shen Yi would not reveal his trump card to strangers who had not yet become his women, so he pretended that he had simply walked in.
"Brother Shen Yi, you're really lucky! There's a giant snake outside that can turn invisible, yet it didn't attack you..." Zhou Wan'er patted her chest as if relieved, though the bouncing motion was rather eye-catching.
Childlike face and large breasts—she was exactly that type.
Zhou Wan'er also knew very well how to make use of her advantages.
Seeing Shen Yi looking at her, she secretly thought that she had guessed right...
If I can win Shen Yi over and have him protect me, I'll be much safer from now on!
And he could go out to find food and water for her, too.
"A snake that can turn invisible?" Shen Yi's heart jolted.
No wonder he had only seen drag marks and blood, but no people.
Even mutated animals had supernatural abilities now!?
It could actually turn invisible!
How the hell were humans supposed to survive this!?
"That probably wasn't a snake. I saw that it had four legs. It should have been a gecko!" the long-haired girl explained.
Su Yun, the female police officer, nodded in agreement. "That's right. It was a gecko, but it was over a meter long—longer than most snakes. And its invisibility wasn't really invisibility. It simply changed its body color to match its surroundings. Combined with the Black Fog, it was hard to spot."
"Several survivors I rescued were ambushed and killed by that color-changing gecko, so I know it well."
"Color-changing? Isn't that a chameleon's ability?" Shen Yi's expression turned strange.
A hybrid?
Or had the mutation simply given the gecko that ability?
"I suspected that it might have been a mutated chameleon too, but from what I saw, it looked more like a gecko," Su Yun said.
For this female police officer to have survived in the apocalypse, she did have some ability.
Shen Yi fell into thought.
Whether it was a chameleon or a gecko, the ability to change color made it difficult to deal with!
If he had not teleported in, it really might have ambushed him while he was off guard.
No wonder these three women had been hiding fearfully in the convenience store's little back room. They simply had no way to deal with that gecko!
"Comrade, if you weren't attacked when you came in just now, it may have already left. You should probably take this chance to leave as soon as possible, in case it turns back. That gecko is extremely cunning," Su Yun suggested.
Zhou Wan'er and the long-haired girl hurriedly nodded.
Their roommate had been killed by that sinister gecko. If Su Yun had not happened to pass by and fired her gun to scare it away, they might have died too.
Only later, through their conversation, did they learn that Su Yun had not merely been passing by. She had been hunting the gecko all along.
The gecko had eaten several people, including a child Su Yun had gone to great lengths to save. That was why Su Yun was willing to risk her own life to fight it!
"Let's wait a little longer. I heard a strange sound when I came in. It may still be wandering nearby," Shen Yi made up an excuse.
He could leave whenever he wanted, but taking Zhou Wan'er with him would not be so easy.
As for Su Yun, Shen Yi had not considered taking her in yet.
Unless Su Yun was willing to hand her weapon over to him.
Or...
Unless he could ensure her absolute loyalty.
Otherwise, with a ticking time bomb by his side, Shen Yi would not even be able to sleep peacefully.
"I see..."
Su Yun frowned.
After thinking for a while, she said, "How about this? I'll go out first and try to lure it away. Then you can leave!"
"Ah? Sister Su Yun, what if you run into danger?" Zhou Wan'er asked worriedly.
"I'm a police officer. Protecting you is what I should do."
Su Yun answered seriously. Then a trace of hatred flashed through her eyes as she said coldly, "Besides, I have to kill it! Even if it costs me my life, I absolutely cannot let it continue harming innocent people!"
As she spoke, she began checking the bullets in her gun, preparing to act.
She was a decisive woman.
"Sister Su Yun, y-you really are a good police officer!" Zhou Wan'er and the long-haired girl looked at Su Yun with gratitude.
But they were only moved; they had no intention of stopping her.
Shen Yi was a little surprised as well. He had not expected this female police officer to possess such noble character.
But this was also a good thing.
With the female police officer luring the gecko away, he could safely leave with Zhou Wan'er.
After pondering for a few seconds, Shen Yi looked at Su Yun and probed, "Officer Su, are there still rescue operations in the city?"
Hearing this question, Su Yun's face darkened, and her voice became low. "Although I shouldn't say this, there probably aren't any rescue operations left."
"A few days ago, every one of my colleagues at the Municipal Public Security Bureau died."
"I don't know the situation at the other police stations, but I imagine it isn't much different."
"There may still be surviving police officers, but... probably not many."
"On their own, they cannot possibly fight against a disaster like this... nor can they rescue the people of this city."
As Su Yun spoke, her mood gradually sank.
Hearing this, Shen Yi felt relieved, but he also asked curiously, "What exactly happened? How did so many people die?"
Logically speaking, even ordinary people could survive. How could police officers, who were trained and armed with firearms, have died so quickly?
That did not seem reasonable.
"Sigh..." Su Yun let out a deep sigh. Frowning, she seemed to hesitate for a moment before explaining, "This is highly classified information and should not have been disclosed, but whether it is disclosed now no longer matters."
"On the first day the apocalypse broke out, a huge monstrous tree appeared in the city center. That tree seemed to be alive, and it grew at an incredibly fast rate! In just a few hours, it had reached a height of dozens of meters! It also kept encroaching on the surrounding land!"
"While growing, it even toppled two high-rise buildings in the city center, causing the deaths of thousands of civilians..."
"Dozens of meters?"
Zhou Wan'er and the long-haired girl exclaimed at the same time.
Shen Yi also revealed a look of surprise.
Growing dozens of meters tall within a few hours was far more terrifying than the mutated trees on the streets!
And...
It had been nearly ten days since the apocalypse began. If it had continued growing at that rate, how terrifyingly large would it be by now!?
If it were allowed to keep growing, what would happen?
Would it cover the entire Mountain City, perhaps even overturn it!?
