Do You Want to Stay Alive

[Ding! Novice task (2/3): Killing Wang Fuxiang completed!]

[Reward issued: 1 free attribute point, 100 points]

The system prompt sounded in her mind again.

Ning Yu skillfully added this attribute point to her physical ability once more.

Her physical ability reached 6 points, already at the upper level of an average adult.

Roughly the highest level an untrained adult could achieve.

Ning Yu was somewhat surprised that the system in her mind had only completed a few tasks.

Yet it had enhanced her physical capabilities in less than half a day, from a weak little loli to this level.

The speed was astonishing!

Looking at her hands and feet, they were still pale and thin, no different from an ordinary little girl.

No trace of muscle could be seen.

She was very satisfied, as the outward appearance of this body was the perfect disguise.

Everyone would only see her as a cute loli.

No one would imagine that such a petite frame housed a highly trained top assassin.

Ning Yu also saw that in her status panel, the points column had reached 150.

She didn't know what these points could be used for, but she had to deal with the situation at hand first.

Shen Yiyue had already shrunk into a corner of the warehouse against the wall.

Her light blue school uniform was so dirty from dragging on the ground that its original appearance was almost unrecognizable.

Large tears rapidly seeped from her eyes, falling and mixing with the dust on the floor.

Fear prevented her from crying loudly, afraid of angering Ning Yu before her.

"Please... please don't kill me..."

Shen Yiyue's soft, choked pleas were trembling.

Ning Yu didn't answer her, just slowly approached with the dagger.

Gently crouching in front of Shen Yiyue, Ning Yu didn't hold the dagger to her throat like an ordinary criminal.

But Shen Yiyue didn't relax much because of this.

She knew very well that if she made any move,

This little girl in the exquisite Western dress before her had ten thousand ways to end her life.

She had seen Ning Yu's killing moves and techniques clearly just now, swifter and more ruthless than anything she'd seen in TV dramas.

Ning Yu put on a sweet smile, trying her best to fit her character.

Using the soft, tender voice this body could produce, she asked in a cute tone:

"What's your name?"

"Shen... Shen Yiyue"

If it weren't for the blood on Ning Yu's face and the dagger in her hand,

Shen Yiyue would have thought this was the most beautiful smile in the world.

"I have two questions to ask you, answer me honestly."

Ning Yu's smile didn't change.

"Okay..."

Shen Yiyue answered fearfully in a low voice.

"What year and month is it now, and where is this place?"

In Ning Yu's mind, the little girl's original memories were very scattered, like A4 paper shredded by a paper shredder.

Apart from knowing there were zombies outside, she couldn't remember anything for the moment.

"It's June 16th, 2052 of the Blue Star Calendar."

"This is a supermarket, on the way to Tianshen High School in City A where I study."

Blue Star Calendar? Had she traveled through time?

Ning Yu's heart sank.

She had thought that even if her soul had entered the body of a little girl,

As long as she continued to lurk and train herself, she could eventually fight her way back into the organization.

To properly ask those old guys on the board of directors why they had abandoned her after years of loyal service.

But if she had come to a parallel world, how could she find out the answer?

Seeing Ning Yu fall into contemplation, Shen Yiyue became even more nervous.

Although she had told the truth, she was still afraid that something she said might sound suspicious and displease Ning Yu.

She didn't dare to ask anything, just waited carefully for Ning Yu.

"Very well, second question, why did you suddenly block my way earlier?"

Ning Yu's gaze suddenly turned sharp and murderous.

Although she felt there was a 99% chance that Shen Yiyue before her was telling the truth,

She couldn't rule out the possibility that this was a conspiracy by the organization: using such lies to deceive her and gain her trust.

Ning Yu carefully observed the micro-expressions on Shen Yiyue's face, ready to end her with one slash if she showed any signs of lying.

Shen Yiyue saw Ning Yu looking at her coldly, the same way she had looked at Xu Qiang and Wang Fuxiang, as if looking at dead men.

She felt her heart leap into her throat.

It was as if an invisible hand had already tightly gripped her neck, about to strangle her in the next second.

"I... I have a younger sister, about your age."

Shen Yiyue nervously tried to swallow, only to find her throat parched from tension.

"I saw that pervert seemed to have his eye on you, so I..."

Before Shen Yiyue could finish her sentence, she felt her heart was already beating so fast it might deafen her ears.

Ning Yu nodded lightly, not detecting any signs of lying.

It seemed she had only thought of her sister in that instant and made a protective move.

"Where is your sister, why isn't she with you?" Ning Yu followed up quickly.

"She's at Tianshen Elementary School, in sixth grade."

"The disaster happened on my way to school, I could only run around, and the streets were in chaos."

"Soon there was no phone signal, I couldn't contact her or my parents."

After hearing the explanation, Ning Yu pondered for a moment.

Then Shen Yiyue saw Ning Yu suddenly stand up again and ask her:

"Do you want to live?"

Shen Yiyue was stunned, but she quickly nodded frantically.

"Yes!"

The apocalypse had already begun, and in the limited days, Shen Yiyue had seen countless horrifying things.

She had just nearly lost her innocence and life, almost violated by two criminals.

In such a world, there was no morality, order, or law to speak of, only the law of the jungle.

Shen Yiyue felt utterly desperate, but there was also a very faint hope in her heart:

She wanted to see her elementary school sister again, to see her kind and loving parents again.

Ning Yu had grasped precisely this point.

Living this life again, recalling her previous life of being alone and ending up as a discarded tool,

Ning Yu wanted to live differently, she would need helpers.

Moreover, with her little girl's body, it would be difficult to act alone in the apocalypse, too eye-catching.

She needed a setting, a front.

For example, she could pretend to be Shen Yiyue's cousin or junior schoolmate.

She gently smoothed her Western dress, leaning down to look at Shen Yiyue with her beautiful amber eyes.

"Follow me, I might have use for you."

Ning Yu's gaze allowed no refusal, her face wearing an exquisite and charming smile.

Shen Yiyue had no room to refuse either, she could only nod again.

But there seemed to be a spark of hope in her eyes.

This silver-haired little girl before her was ruthless, cunning, beautiful yet powerful.

And outside were man-eating zombies everywhere, and "man-eating" humans.

As long as she followed her, she might have a chance, a slim chance:

To see her family again, her sister, in this chaotic world!

Seeing Shen Yiyue's expression gradually become determined and clear, Ning Yu knew she had agreed.

She stopped staring at Shen Yiyue and instead played with the dagger in her hand leisurely, saying:

"I will train you, teach you how to kill, teach you how to survive."

"And you..."

Just as Ning Yu was about to continue, she suddenly heard a noise behind her.

Something seemed to have crawled up.

And it was making a "ho ho" sound!
