Do you want to be the hero of the apocalypse? Or a mortal in the ordinary world?

If it was to be given to Lin Yi to choose, he would not hesitate to choose the latter.

When he was a child, Lin Yi didn't know where to get a movie video of the old world, and Lin Yi's heroic dream was established in the protagonist's enthusiasm to save the world.

It wasn't until now, when Lin Yi recalled this incident, that he realized that the environment he lived in was a movie in the eyes of others.

In order not to let his night's exercise consume the small amount of dry food in his backpack, Lin Yi must pick berries when he meets them on the road, and he must swallow them in his hands. Now, Lin Yi only felt that his body was filled with berry juice.

There was a tumult in my stomach and a feeling like something was going to come out of my throat. When Lin Yi returned to the mouth of the cave with a haggard face, Zhao Zhuo had already woken up and used the residual heat of the bonfire to dry his clothes.

After hearing the footsteps, Zhao Zhuo looked at the source of the sound vigilantly, and after finding that it was Lin Yi, he relaxed and quietly took out a bag of jerky made of wolf meat from the backpack behind him and threw it to Lin Yi.

Lin Yi was not polite, took the jerky and ate it, washed the juice in his stomach, and handed the crude machete to Zhao Zhuo.

Zhao Zhuo looked at the machete in his hand, waved it twice, smiled with satisfaction, and pinned it to his waist.

Lin Yi walked straight into the cave, and sure enough, Keth was still asleep. The little girl still chews the air from time to time in her mouth, dreaming for a while, and whimpering for a while.

It's a dream.

Do old-world big beds, cell phones, and video games really exist? As Lin Yi, who is the same age as the end of the world, sometimes he fantasizes about some things from the old world. Although these things are all learned in history class.

Kath's status in Far Star City is not low, and her life is much better than Lin Yi's, so she naturally can't sleep in a cave. After a while, Kath bumped into the edge of the rock in the chaos, and opened her eyes dimly with a "whoosh".

Lin Yi had been waiting beside Kath for a while.

Yesterday's activity was already the most stable Lin Yi could think of, but it was still extremely intense. In addition, for some reason, Kath always felt relieved when she saw Lin Yi, so she snooze for a while.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she looked at Lin Yi with four eyes, Kath's expression froze, and then she opened her eyes, and the sides of her cheeks were slightly red.

"It's time for lunch." Lin Yi quipped, looking at the sun to tell the time, it is only 8:00 in the morning

"Oh." Kath didn't know if she had been deceived, so she unceremoniously picked up the food that Lin Yi had prepared next to her and chewed it.

"Where is Zhao Zhuo?" Kath asked.

"I'm going to look for food outside, the autumn forest is relatively safe during the day, and Zhao Zhuo is an evolutionary, so there will be no problems."

"Oh." Kath answered, tasting the few cookies alone. Cookies that have no taste to speak of are naturally not as delicious as the food in Far Star City, but Keith still eats them with relish.

Lin Yi was not idle enough to watch Keith eat, and after she fully woke up, she went out to find Zhao Zhuo with a crude bow.

Kath glanced at Lin Yi's crude bow and handed Lin Yi the bow and arrow that she was still holding while sleeping.

Lin Yi took the bow and arrow in Kath's hand and looked at it carefully.

A composite bow of superior quality, which can theoretically inflict a precision strike on any enemy within the field of vision.

Pity......

Lin Yi shook his head with a little regret, and returned the compound bow in his hand to Keth in Kath's puzzlement.

"I can't use this compound bow for the time being, you can take it for self-defense."

"Aren't you capable too?"

“emmmm”

Not all capable people are born sniper evolutionaries like geniuses like you, okay?! Zhao Zhuo may not be able to exert his full strength to compound the bow!

Lin Yi rubbed his temples awkwardly, thinking about how to explain this common sense to Keth.

"Uh,,, I'm an affinity ability, unlike those who evolve their abilities, the focus of ability improvement is not on strength, although the overall strength will also improve in the future strength improvement, but the weapon that can be used by low-level abilities such as a movable compound bow, Zhao Zhuo and I still need a little time."

Lin Yi patiently explained, trying to make the words as easy to understand as possible. But seeing that Kath still tilted her little head in confusion, Lin Yi knew that these few minutes of hard work had been in vain.

"Lin... Yi"

"Huh?"

"And what level are you now?"

"Zhao Zhuo and I both belong to the junior level, and even... It does not belong to the three major abilities. ”

Lin Yi is in accordance with the league's rating standards. According to the level division of the franchise record, the highest level is 14 levels, and 1-2 levels belong to the primary level of ability. Abilities at this level are generally developed in an integrated manner, with only a focus on specific contexts.

Zhao Zhuo belongs to the kind that focuses on the direction of evolutionaries, although Lin Yi's ability was downgraded to level 1 after rebirth, but the awakened affinity ability has not disappeared, which is a special case.

Only a genius like Kath, who was born at the first level, was upgraded to level 4 not long ago. For this purpose, her father also made a delicate compound bow for her. It's the one she loves.

"Oh."

Kath's standard answer, thinking that talking about topics she was interested in would make her less frigid, but she changed back to just after talking.

Lin Yi, whose psychological age is far beyond the surface, held the mentality of educating children, smiled helplessly, and walked out of the cave.

Find Zhao Zhuo back, gather it, and you can hurry.

In the early morning, the autumn forest is still a vibrant scene, with two elk, one large and one small, grazing on the ground. Harmony, beauty.

It's just that ,,, it's too quiet.

There are no insects chirping, no birds chirping, and no zombie roaring. A gust of wind blew, bringing with it dark clouds.

If only everything was as simple as it seems.

"Kath?"

"Huh?"

"Right now, stay in the cave and don't come out, okay?"

"Why?"

"Thunder, rain."

“…… Hmmm......"

Another gust of wind passed, and the grass and trees moved with it, and then, Lin Yi was nowhere to be seen.

Kath silently finished the biscuit in her hand and picked up the compound bow.

Stretch your bow and shoot your arrows. Kath's eyes flashed with a cold light, and she stared silently at the entrance of the cave.

At this time, Lin Yi had already broken out and ran wildly, and if he didn't capture it carefully, he could only see a trace of afterimage.

The skills that Lin Yi occasionally acquired in his previous life could more than double his physical strength, and he could reach the strength of a level 4 evolver in a short period of time, but the damage to his body was huge.

In the distance, a drop of black water seemed to float lightly in the air. Lin Yi couldn't dodge, so he could only block with his left hand.

Thorn ......

Lin Yi's left hand made a piercing sound as if it had been scalded by boiling water. There was no time to cry out in pain, Lin Yi hurriedly wiped his hand on the grass, and a large piece of flesh fell from Lin Yi's hand.

Black blood, with a foul stench, was scattered all over the ground.

Finding a stone to hide, Lin Yi chewed and spit out part of the hemp on the cloth strip to make a simple bandage, and barely bandaged his hand.

Gritting his teeth, look ahead.

In the distance, the ground cracks!

The 15-meter-tall iron hand swung his right hand full of steel and slammed it into the ground with ferocity.

"Damn!" Lin Yi couldn't help but roar.

Hasn't this guy been in the heavily infected area all along?! Why is it here!? Not to mention the heavily infected area, even the abandoned village with a lot of zombies has been avoided!

In the early stage, Lin Yi once asked the mayor of 101 what was going on with the iron hand of the heavily infected area of the Autumn Forest, or why there was a severely infected area in the Autumn Forest. As a result, everyone chose to remain silent, and the secret was lost forever as Iron Hand was defeated.

But this is a new life, and the Iron Hand has not yet been defeated.

This large mutant zombie with half of its body being mechanical, and even a heavy cannon in its right hand has not disappeared!

"Lin Yi, Lin Yi!"

The familiar voice woke up Lin Yi, who had not yet recovered from his shock.

Zhao Zhuo...... How are you? Lin Yi didn't feel too much emotion, and went straight to the point. There's no time to sensationalize right now.

"Oh yes! It hurts Lao Tzu to death, and it's really not human to be beaten by that iron bump. But don't worry, I can't die yet. Zhao Zhuo said with a big grin, and Lin Yi smiled relaxedly.

"I seem to see something else, though." Then, Zhao Zhuo said solemnly.
