Korean Theater, Inchon.
"Youzhen..."
"Don't be picky about your food. Nuts are hard to find. I'm not even willing to eat the ones specially left for you."
"Look, I also found a teething stick for you. I finally found it from the pet store..."
"Hmm... maybe it's a bit small for you. After you're full, how about we take over that shopping mall? I'll definitely help you find a big one!"
Leaning on the soft belly of the sea beast, a girl of only the first level kept talking to the sea beast behind her, or in other words, to another girl on the sea beast's back.
Holding the fragrant lunch box in her hand, the girl sitting next to the sea beast took a deep and contented breath of the aroma of grilled eel.
Although the eel had been frozen for an unknown period of time, and it was unknown how it was preserved, the fish meat was even a little slimy and had gone bad. But for girls, this is already the highest enjoyment in life. It’s the end of the world, it would be great to have meat to eat!
Just when the girl was about to happily enjoy her meal, her expression suddenly changed and she hurriedly covered the lunch box in her hand.
The girl sitting on the sea beast looked like a hamster, sniffing the eel in her hand.
"Youzhen! This is for people to eat! Stop looking! You eat nuts! Go and eat nuts!"
“Peanuts are delicious!”
The girl felt guilty and waved her hands quickly. He quickly handed over a handful of peanuts to signal Youzhen not to compete with him for food.
Big eyes stared at small eyes, but fortunately the peanuts were still attractive to Youzhen. Soon, Youzhen, who was sitting on the sea beast, nodded gently, picked up the peanuts like a mouse and gnawed them. got up.
Seeing that Youzhen had been deceived by her, the girl breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help showing a proud expression on her face.
Just looking at the stupid Youzhen, a complicated meaning flashed in her eyes.
Yes, Youzhen is Han Youzhen.
If Lin An were here, he would probably be able to identify the two of them at a glance.
She is Li Enzhu, and sitting on the sea beast, squeaking like a mouse, is Han Youzhen.
"Youzhen.."
"You are no longer a human being, so I am not lying...I am not using you either. Without me, you would have been killed by those bad guys long ago."
Taking small bites of the bibimbap in his mouth, Li Enzhu was vague and talking to himself, as if to excuse himself.
"You are responsible for fighting...I am responsible for taking care of you...just like before..."
"It's not that I haven't thought about helping you change back, but I can't find that guy... I don't even have his contact information..."
As he spoke, Li Enzhu's face showed a touch of sadness, as if he was recalling the past.
Less than a year later, that nightmare and bizarre night seemed like yesterday. Maybe Lin An didn't know what happened to Han Youzhen after that nuclear explosion and that war.
"Forget it, even if we can contact him, he probably won't help us...Lin An, that man is no longer in the same world as us."
"It's good now..."
Tilting his head, Li Enzhu looked at Han Youzhen who was still creaking in confusion.
It is hard to imagine that Han Youzhen, who looks like a hamster in front of her eyes, was once the best student of Han University and one of the first batch of awakened people. The stubborn, kind-hearted, and somewhat pedantic "eldest lady" has now become a big squeaking mouse.
Of course, it's also very strong. They are powerful enough to compete with the third level, and no one dares to mess with them.
In that nuclear explosion, Han Youzhen, who was captured by the South Korean military, was closest to the nuclear explosion, but as an inconspicuous little role, she managed to escape by chance.
She didn't know how Han Youzhen survived. When she was looking for food in the garbage dump, she accidentally bumped into Han Youzhen sitting on the back of a sea beast. Maybe there are still memories left? Maybe it's because of something else.
From then on, she followed Han Youzhen, or in other words, she took her with her.
I wonder if I thought of the name Lin An.
Han Youzhen, who was still immersed in peanuts, suddenly raised her head, murmuring and repeating with her eyes distracted.
"Forest.."
"install.."
"Okay, there's no need to talk about him anymore. I don't know what kind of medicine he gave you, but you still miss him when you're like this."
I have long been accustomed to Han Youzhen speaking suddenly, as if regaining consciousness. Li Enzhu curled his lips and stood up after eating.
As if she had thought of something, she suddenly climbed onto the sea beast and helped Han Youzhen "smooth her hair" with anticipation.
"Hey, Youzhen."
"Would you like to eat corn? Fresh corn~or corn with a psychic fragrance~"
"Look over there, there is a safe area occupied by forces. I have already inquired about it. Their leader has escaped, but there are still a lot of delicious food inside!"
"I went to observe it yesterday, and they were beaten to death. With your strength and this sea rat, we will definitely be able to get something good back!"
"Maybe if we can still occupy that place, we can take a shower once every three days!"
Regardless of whether Han Youzhen could understand what he was saying, Li Enzhu was full of fantasy. While helping Han Youzhen comb her messy long hair, she whispered:
"You won't be hurt for sure! As long as you show your face and let this sea rat bark twice! The people inside will be scared and run away like the previous group of people!"
"Youzhen, don't you want to live in a big hamster nest? There's also a running wheel. I'll get you a Ferris wheel for you to run around!"
Thinking about the future.
Although all the major forces and high-level officials in the world are now panicking, for Li Enzhu, she feels that this is an opportunity.
She is ambitious, although in a sense, she is using Han Youzhen. But she also knew that if she continued to wander like this, she and the silly Han Youzhen would easily be regarded as prey by others.
Level 3, maybe still quite strong now. But maybe soon it won't be...
She must have her own power, and then... have a family... How long can she live with Han Youzhen...
For Han Youzhen, it was difficult for her to say what her feelings were.
From envy in college, to jealousy after the apocalypse broke out, to hating the injustice of the world. She hated it and even felt that Han Youzhen had a smooth life and didn't understand her difficulties at all and didn't know how dark the world was.
Then Han Youzhen was "reduced" to such an extent that she was no longer even a human being...
Along the way, she relied on Han Youzhen to survive, and she even lived well.
All kinds of experiences were complicatedly intertwined, and now she even felt that Han Youzhen was like her...her...
"Lord Enju! It's not good!"
"There are many third-level and awakened beings flying towards us!"
Um! ?
Before Li Enzhu could sink into his memories, a voice of extreme panic suddenly sounded from outside the hall.
I saw an awakened person who was also a first-level person. His face was covered with blood at the moment and he was pointing behind him in fear.
"Boom-boom!!"
Violent whistles came in waves, and for some reason, Li Enzhu immediately felt the undisguised cold murderous intent in the whistles.
Someone is eyeing them!
