Lin Ling recently encountered a very interesting thing.

On the day she was waiting in the station, she met a quantum life that claimed to be a system, probably because her appearance was too misunderstood, so that this quantum life mistook her for a human, so that when she pulled out the other party's body with her bare hands, the little guy died of fright on the spot.

The reaction was quite interesting.

In order to prevent this little thing from getting stuck completely, Lin Ling also tried to help it sort out the threads, and also obtained a lot of information from it.

So when the system woke up, Lin Ling held the latter's bulbous body and smiled.

"Let's start crossing through trouble!"

———— cross the dividing line————

The deserted city is full of ruins and broken walls, and green plants occupy large areas of land.

And in such an environment, there is a figure that is out of step with the world.

One big and one small, it happens to be a host and system from another world.

The system that followed Lin Ling's side now understood a truth.

As the saying goes, looking at people is not just about their appearance, and this principle can also be applied to all non-people.

Maybe one day you'll pick up a beautiful woman and end up with a different shape.

The system itself is a good lesson.

It looked melancholy at the girl standing on the roof of the car not far away, wearing a fedora on her head, a black trench coat, and a short black skirt and boots on her legs, at first glance she looked as lively and beautiful as an ordinary young girl.

However, it was all based on ignoring the surging black shadow at her feet.

That's who he really is.

For the first time ever, the system overturned.

"System system, look, look, this is a living rabbit!"

When the system didn't pay attention, Lin Ling jumped to the middle of the road and picked up a creature with black and white coats.

The slender ears were grasped by Lin Ling's hands, and the short limbs were still struggling in the air.

Rabbit?

As soon as the system looked back, it was shocked. You call this clawed, fanged creature a rabbit?!

[Host, you can see clearly, this has long claws and fangs, you tell me it's a rabbit??? 】

"Well, it's a bit of a difference." Lin Ling shrugged her shoulders and threw the creature away from her.

"Ah, by the way, what is the mission of this world?" Stepping on the shattered concrete floor, Lin Ling turned around, and all she saw was the deserted scenery.

The weeds squeezing out of the concrete, the canopy of trees that obscure the sky, and the vines that clinging the façade of the building all indicate that the footprints of civilization are disappearing.

But it is such an environment, which unexpectedly gives Linling a sense of vitality.

It's hard to imagine that such a world is on the verge of death.

As originally introduced, the system is a savior system that travels with the aim of saving a world on the verge of death. This is also what Lin Ling reads from the system kernel.

[Host, are you really here to do the mission?] 】

The system that followed Lin Ling looked at the former's bouncing appearance with a numb face, and once again doubted his own vision.

What did it think in the first place that it chose such a host because of its appearance?

Although the system said this verbally, it still took the initiative to turn up the task interface and display it in front of Linling.

Objective: Follow the prompts to find the source of infection and clear it

Difficulty: Easy

Time Limit: One Month

Note: Please take the rescuer's own life safety as the first priority, the failure of the mission will only deduct the corresponding points, and there is no impact on the rescuer's personal safety, but if the death in the mission is real death, may the rescuer think twice. 〗

The last "note" was subconsciously ignored by Lin Ling, and the minimap that appeared next to the taskbar attracted most of her attention.

The blue dot that symbolizes her is preceded by a bright red arrow pointing directly at the building not far away.

"Ah, is that the mission point?" Through the leaves, Lin Ling could vaguely see the towering building opposite.

[Although this is a novice task, we must be cautious, many newcomers are planted on the novice task. So you can't take the host lightly because you're special...... Look? Wait a minute! Host, don't rush directly!! 】

At the moment when the system was in a trance, Lin Ling had already climbed over the surrounding obstacles to the trunk of the tree, and looked at the direction ahead with the help of a much wider field of vision than below.

The road, like the rest of the lot, was overgrown with weeds.

Compared to the narrow and immobile woods, the abandoned land that used to be a country road is much more spacious.

But it seems to be too quiet.

Lin Ling feels that her dynamic vision is okay, at least for subtle motives to capture is also the best in its kind. But the spot that fell into her eyes was too calm, not even the slightest sway of the wind stirring the weeds.

This is obviously not normal.

【Host, you ......】

As soon as the system flew to Lin Ling's side, Lin Ling took her into her arms and covered the sounder. Just as it was wondering what was happening, it heard a voice coming from the mouth of its host.

"Shhhhh She shifted her position slightly, looking through the foliage to see the strangely quiet section.

Before the system could understand what was going on, Lin Ling pointed to the direction of the clearing and asked. "System, you see if there's something."

On the empty road, towering weeds spread all over the ground, and something resembling a liquid was wriggling and hovering on the ground.

【Something?】 Nothing? Wait a minute? Bugger?! 】

The system suddenly realized that when he was about to open the system notes interface, he heard a strange noise from the side.

"Click"

It was an incomparably slight, almost imperceptible sound, like ...... The sound of a branch breaking is the same.

And the source...... It was Lin Ling's fingers.

Her index finger, which was pointed directly at the clearing, was now bent upwards in an extremely unscientific way, and the finger bones that had been upturned from under the skin and the back of her hand were folded in a ninety-degree direction.

"It's broken." Lin Ling looked at the scene in front of her in a daze, and didn't react to what was happening.

There was no pain on her face, and there was peace in her eyes as she looked at the fracture, as if the broken finger was not on her hand.

At that moment, she felt a huge force rushing towards her fingertips, and before she even had time to see them, the fingertips had already become like this.

[Wow, ahhhh Host, your hand, ahhh 】

Because of the particularity of her body, this injury is nothing to Linling, but irrepressible curiosity still emerges in her heart.

Lin Ling ignored the screams of the system on the side, and very calmly pulled her fingertips back to their original places and moved her fingers.

However, the screams of the system have not stopped......

So Lin Ling stretched out her hand.

"Be careful! Be quiet! Got it? She reluctantly grabbed the system's body, and with a slight force, the system's metal shell deformed like flour under her hands.

[Hmm...... Good. 】

Under Lin Ling's gaze, the system replied with a good voice.

After that, it seemed as if it was cloudy and clear, and a smile full of excitement and curiosity appeared on someone's face again.

"Alright, let's get on with our go!" Lin Ling said this with a smile on her face, and jumped steadily from the tree with the still dazed system in her arms.

After landing on the ground, he simply looked around and walked in a direction.

And this orientation, if the system is not mistaken...... Looks like the clearing...... Direction?

[Wait!] Host, what are you going to do?! 】

[Don't!] No! Don't! 】

With a "bang", a fist slammed directly into the head of the system, causing the quantum life that was talking nonsense to completely shut down.

Lin Ling felt relieved that the environment had finally cleared up.

Although she wasn't afraid of attracting any monsters, she was a little irritated to keep yelling and shouting.

In particular, the system itself carries the sound of electricity.

Walking along the path, Lin Ling found that the more she advanced, the more abnormal the surrounding environment became.

The vegetation is still vigorous, and the weeds that grow out of the ground are as tall as a human calf, and the edges of the blades are as sharp as a blade.

Even the trees that towered on either side were as straight as flagpoles, and the huge canopies crisscrossed each other, blocking every inch of sunlight.

There are signs of life here, but there is still no trace of insects or animals, and even the only sounds are gone.

There is also a strange fragrance of flowers in the air.

It was an intoxicating taste, and the feeling of extreme relaxation came over Lin Ling, making her want to stop and stay here.

"Floral?" Instinctively feeling that her condition was wrong, Lin Ling hurriedly covered her mouth and nose, but she had already inhaled several puffs of aroma.

A strange sensation lingers in the body.

After just a few breaths of the aroma, Lin Ling felt that her thinking had a significant lag, and the things that should have reacted instantly were slowed down several times.

It's a bit dangerous.

With a slight sigh in her heart, Lin Ling shielded her ventilator and walked by quickly.

There was a desire that made her can't help but have the idea of finding out, but Lin Ling can still distinguish the importance of the front and back, so she can only ignore the anomaly here for the time being, and wait until the open space is dealt with.

After all...... She still holds a grudge, and the feeling of her finger being broken is still quite painful.

Lin Ling looked down at her fingers, the pale fingertips were not bloody, and the rings of dark blue marks appeared at the index knuckles, which happened to be fractures.

Looking at this, she didn't know how long it would take to fully recover.

But......

Lin Ling looked away from her fingers and looked at her feet.

Dense vines were spreading all over the ground, crawling like cobwebs beyond where weeds grew.

A few tiny vine whiskers rose from the ground and strangulated deep into Lin Ling's ankles.

Lin Ling generally understands that if you don't cause trouble, it doesn't mean that things won't find you.
