For about half an hour, Yu Luo lay on Kiana, and only then did he feel a trace of strength return to his weak and powerless limbs. Looking at the beads of sweat rolling down Kiana's face, Yu Luo patted her shoulder, "Put me down, I'm fine now."
"Oh." Kiana responded blankly and immediately let go of her hands. Yu Luo didn't expect it, and his butt made intimate contact with the road. With a dull thud, Yu Luo couldn't recover for a long time, feeling like his butt wasn't his own anymore.
"I'm sorry, Teacher, I'm just so clumsy." Kiana quickly apologized, "I can't help it, who told me I'm a dumb blonde?"
"So you're still holding a grudge because I called you an idiot!"
"Teehee!" Kiana tapped her forehead with her right fist, stuck out her tongue, and acted cute. Yu Luo was speechless and could only stand up indignantly, saying irritably, "Let's go, let's take this opportunity to leave this academy quickly."
If Yu Luo were to describe his current state of mind, it would be: "Originally, I planned to be angry, but she was just too cute, and I couldn't refuse."
After Mei's rampage, the sun had gradually set, and the sky was dyed blood red. The two walked and stopped on the path behind the mountain. The zombie girls here were no longer in swarms like in the dormitory and teaching buildings; they were scattered in twos and threes, and Kiana picked them off one by one.
Occasionally, Ghostfire Girls on motorcycles would charge at them, but Kiana would pop their tires with two shots, perfectly embodying the saying, "A Ghostfire Girl's cry means their parents raised them in vain."
After this relatively peaceful journey, the two finally saw the back gate of Senba Academy. Yu Luo breathed a sigh of relief. Although it had only been half a day, Yu Luo felt like he had spent several days here. In this oppressive apocalyptic environment, if he hadn't argued with the system, he might have gone insane.
"It seems that all of Changkong City has been completely polluted by the Honkai," Kiana easily climbed over the locked back gate of the school and looked at the scorched earth before her, sighing uncharacteristically.
Yu Luo followed Kiana over the back gate and looked at the environment before him, also uncharacteristically losing the mood to complain. Scattered cars, rising black smoke, messy shops, and zombie girls wandering the streets – these were all common sights in zombie games, looking like a real-life Resident Evil.
"That's not right, shouldn't you be saying something like, 'Another cliché scene, can't we have a Gundam?' at this point?" The system was surprised by Yu Luo's silence and even imitated Yu Luo's tone.
Disturbed by the system, Yu Luo, who had been feeling heavy-hearted due to the destruction of civilization and life before him, suddenly felt less miserable and said irritably, "You've already complained about everything, what else can I say?"
"I learned that from you, hehe."
Yu Luo rolled his eyes and looked at Kiana. Kiana looked up, confusedly surveying the surrounding buildings, and vaguely pointed her right hand in the air, "Um... North is this way?" She looked down at the map displayed on her phone, shook her head, turned around, and whispered uncertainly, "Is this it?"
"This..." Yu Luo glanced at Kiana, whose eyes were spinning, and asked incredulously, "You're not... directionally challenged, are you?!"
"Wh-what are you talking about!" Kiana shouted defensively, "I just can't find north, I'm not directionally challenged!"
"Isn't that the same thing?!"
"Isn't that the same thing?!"
Yu Luo and the system reached a consensus. Finally, Yu Luo couldn't stand it anymore, pointed north, and said to Kiana, "North is this way."
"I knew that already, I was just testing you!" Kiana's face was red as she forcibly put on a look of righteous indignation.
"Hey, hey, tsundere doesn't suit you!" Yu Luo teased Kiana, and was met with a heavy elbow strike from Kiana. Yu Luo clutched his stomach in pain and slowly squatted down. The system even added a sound effect, "K.O.!"
"Stop playing! It'll be dark soon and affect our vision, we need to hurry!" Kiana glanced at the sky. The sun was about to sink below the horizon, and the sky was darkening. The abandoned buildings looked like monsters ready to devour people in the night, interspersed with the howls of zombie girls, which was quite chilling.
"What's the next route?" Yu Luo stood up, squinting as he observed his surroundings, lest there be a surprise attack from a zombie girl.
"Changkong City has been completely eroded by the Honkai, so it's too dangerous to go through the city." Kiana had a look of confidence, proudly puffing out her chest, "Besides, Changkong City has an external light rail. Only staff can enter the light rail tracks, so there won't be many zombie girls. We can just follow the light rail tracks!"
Yu Luo helplessly patted his head and pointed out the flaw in Kiana's plan, "Then have you considered the situation inside the light rail station? The light rail station must be full of people. Even if only young women can be infected by the Honkai and turn into zombies, there won't be fewer than in the entire Senba Academy, right?"
"Don't worry, don't worry." Kiana said energetically, "If you think too much, you won't get anything done. We'll deal with it when we get there! The priority now is to find a place to rest for the night. Visibility is poor at night, which greatly affects combat."
The two found a relatively secluded apartment nearby. Kiana, with her excellent physical abilities, easily jumped onto the second-floor window sill. Looking at Yu Luo clumsily climbing up the drainpipe behind her, she pouted and reached out her left hand, pulling him up.
"I'll count to three, two, one, and we'll rush in together!" Kiana whispered in Yu Luo's ear, her breath tickling his face. Yu Luo scratched his cheek, feeling a little unnatural, "Why does it feel like we're breaking and entering?"
Kiana said irritably, "Robbing is breaking and entering, we're just borrowing a place to stay."
"Borrowing a place to stay while holding a gun and entering through a window to kill the owner?"
"Stop babbling!" Kiana pulled open the window and shoved Yu Luo into the dark room. Yu Luo was disoriented and didn't even get a clear look at the room before shouting, "Water meter check! Femboy on the left, girl on the right!"
But unfortunately, there were neither femboys nor girls in the room. There was only a zombie girl wearing black-rimmed glasses. Hearing the noise, she lunged straight at them.
"Bang!" Kiana's USP accurately hit the black-rimmed glasses girl's head. The zombie girl fell to the ground with a thud, her limbs twitching, trying to struggle to get up.
Yu Luo walked forward and took off the black-rimmed glasses from her head. The zombie girl, without her glasses, immediately stopped moving and lay on the ground motionless.
"It really can be extended!" Yu Luo clicked his tongue as he looked at the black-rimmed glasses in his hand, wanting to try on the feeling of extending life. "Putting this on means you're on the express list, think carefully." The system's words poured cold water on Yu Luo's head. Yu Luo looked regretfully at the black-rimmed glasses and painfully threw them out the window.
"Young people, why read poetry, why keep dogs!"
A small light suddenly illuminated the dark room. Kiana held a desk lamp in her hand, excitedly saying, "It's a rechargeable desk lamp, we finally have light!" In the midst of collapsing civilization, even a little light was enough to bring joy.
Yu Luo quickly pulled the curtains shut to prevent the desk lamp's light from leaking outside. He wasn't sure if the zombie girls would be attracted to light like moths, so it was better to be careful.
"There are so many books on the bookshelf, it seems she was a literature enthusiast in her life." Kiana observed the room's layout with the desk lamp's light, and excitedly pulled a book from the bookshelf, flipping through it.
Yu Luo also looked curiously at the book in Kiana's hand, but as soon as he saw the cover, he regretted it and wished he could gouge out his own eyes.
The cover of the book read "May I have one heart," and there were two handsome men with exquisite looks embracing each other. Just seeing this, Yu Luo knew the main content of the book. He quickly pounced and took the book from Kiana's hand, throwing it under the bed.
"What are you doing!" Kiana was a little angry. She had just opened the book and hadn't even read a page before Yu Luo snatched it away and threw it.
"This book seals an evil god!" Yu Luo said with a serious face, "If you finish this book, your soul will be harvested by Lucifer, this is a forbidden text!"
"Tch, so superstitious!" Kiana didn't believe in these flashy things. She reached out and pulled another book from the bookshelf. It was similar to the previous one. She quickly flipped through it a few times and, with a bored expression, closed it and put it back in its original place.
"What a letdown, it's just love between men, how boring. Only girls who don't understand love would like this kind of thing."
Yu Luo breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid Kiana would be corrupted by the BL novel, but Kiana's reaction reassured him.
"You're right! Male-male relationships are heresy!" Yu Luo nodded repeatedly in agreement with Kiana's opinion.
"Teacher, you think so too, right!" Kiana excitedly expounded, "Only love between girls is real, so pure, so tragic, so..."
"Wait!" Seeing the conversation going off track, Yu Luo quickly stopped her and asked Kiana with a dumbfounded expression, "You like yuri?"
"Isn't that obvious? What's good about men? Girls are the best!"
"Never mind then, I'm going to sleep." Yu Luo decisively ended the topic, lay down on the only bed in the room, and closed his eyes, looking utterly dejected.
