Chapter 5

The moment the small pit was buried, blinding white light attacked from all directions, breaking through the embrace of the black mist and illuminating the dark, lightless world.

The damp, sticky soil underfoot sprouted tender green grass at a speed visible to the naked eye, and a red-roofed warehouse appeared in front of Lin Qianhuan.

The warehouse didn’t look big, but when she opened the door and looked inside, it was a vast expanse of white, with no end in sight.

[Congratulations to the host for completing the newbie task, reward: Warehouse ×1.]

The mechanical voice sounded again: [The Spirit Spring Space is only for the host’s use and does not allow other humans to enter or exit.

Living creatures can be raised outside the warehouse, but only inanimate objects can be placed inside.

Please collect crystal cores to unlock more space and get surprises!]

Lin Qianhuan naturally knew what crystal cores were. Zombies, even with missing arms and legs, could still crawl and hunt on the ground because the crystal cores in their brains provided the basic energy these monsters needed to survive.

To completely kill a zombie, you must cut off or destroy its brain; otherwise, it will continue to survive in unimaginable ways.

Closing the rolling door of the warehouse, Lin Qianhuan began to carefully examine the situation outside.

The ground exuded a fresh scent of green grass, and a breeze occasionally blew, causing rustling sounds.

However, the area she could move around in was only about 20 square meters, with the rest shrouded in mist. To unlock it, she would need the crystal cores from the zombies’ brains.

Lin Qianhuan pondered the name of the system, the Spirit Spring System. Did this mean that there was a pool of spirit spring hidden in the area covered by the white mist?

What was the use of the spirit spring?

The system was waiting for her exploration.

After roughly exploring the entire space, Lin Qianhuan silently recited “leave” in her mind, and then appeared in the real world.

She looked up and saw her second brother looking at her in surprise, his jaw almost dropping to the ground.

“You just…”

His voice trembled slightly, unable to comprehend this supernatural event.

Lin Qianhuan smiled and narrowed her eyes: “I just entered the space. You can understand it as my Superpower.

The zombie outbreak will occur on February 26th, and on February 25th, there will be a rain of blood. Anyone who has come into contact with the rainwater may become a zombie or an Superpower user.

Having a personal space is one type of Superpower.”

She couldn’t explain the mystical nature of the Spirit Spring System to her two older brothers, so she simply used Superpower as an excuse.

Lin Wansheng frowned, rubbed his sore chin, and asked, “But it’s not February 25th yet. How did you awaken your Superpower without coming into contact with the blood rain?

Also, why do you know that it will rain blood on February 25th? What exactly is going on?”

Lin Qianhuan lowered her head, and a sourness flashed in her eyes.

“You might not believe it if I told you, but I was reborn.

In the previous life, my eldest brother was far away in another province and couldn’t come back, and you were…” She paused for a moment before continuing, “In the end, only I was left. Lin Fu came and took my house, stole my supplies, and even sold me to a group of beasts for a pack of cigarettes.

After I escaped, I started wandering alone. Later, I sought revenge on Lin Fu and other enemies, and after I had these people skinned alive, I committed suicide and died. When I woke up again, I had returned to today.”

Lin Wansheng felt his hands tremble as he listened. Lin Qianhuan hastily glossed over the suffering she had endured in a few words, but he was her older brother; how could he not know her pain?

“Qianhuan, don’t be afraid. This time, your older brothers will protect you, and we will never let you live that kind of life again.”

Lin Wansheng forced a smile and gently rubbed Lin Qianhuan’s head.

“I believe you. There’s still a month before the zombie outbreak. We must start preparing immediately. Since the three of us siblings know so much in advance, we will definitely be able to successfully avoid the risks.”

Lin Qianhuan wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and nodded heavily.

Protecting her family was her only purpose in being reborn.

She had taken revenge for everything she needed to in her previous life, leaving her with no regrets.

In this life, she only wanted to live peacefully with her two older brothers and no longer suffer the pain of being separated by life and death.

Lin Wansheng was about to discuss the next steps with Lin Qianhuan when the newly installed security door was suddenly knocked on.

The person knocking on the door showed no restraint, and the pounding was enough to hear his anxiety.

Lin Wansheng was a little puzzled. That beast Lin Fu had already been locked up in prison. Who would be knocking on the door so late?

Lin Qianhuan got up and went to the door, looking out through the peephole. Then, a sarcastic smile crept onto her face.

Standing outside the door was her boyfriend, Zhao Zhuqing.

In her previous life, she had been a poor judge of character and had never realized that he was two-timing her. She had even foolishly shared many of her supplies with him.

Who would have thought that the true identity of the “neighbor sister” he spoke of was his mistress?

The two of them were sucking the blood out of Lin Qianhuan, relying entirely on her to go out and search for food and drink. Not only did they flirt and flirt behind her back, but they also ridiculed her as a dull idiot.

In the end, they designed to push Lin Qianhuan into the swarm of corpses. If Lin Qianhuan’s mental strength hadn’t been strong enough, she would have probably turned into a pile of bone fragments long ago.

Lin Qianhuan’s winning the lottery had caused a great uproar throughout Yuncheng and even the whole country. Although she refused all media interviews, she inevitably had her picture taken by some people with ulterior motives.

Although the published pictures had her face blurred, it was easy for those familiar with her to recognize her.

Lin Fu and Zhao Zhuqing themselves often bought lottery tickets and therefore paid close attention to news in this area; otherwise, they wouldn’t have smelled the scent and found her so quickly.

Lin Qianhuan had been away from home all day today. Perhaps Zhao Zhuqing had already knocked on the door several times before she returned?

Thinking of this, a mocking smile appeared on Lin Qianhuan’s lips. The current her was not as easily deceived as she had been in her previous life.

Opening the door, she faced Zhao Zhuqing’s angry, distorted face head-on.

Seeing her open the door, he was stunned for a moment, then put on a gentle, refined smile.

“Qianhuan, what did you do today? The house is so messy, and I looked for you several times but you weren’t here.”

As he spoke, he tried to step inside, but Lin Qianhuan directly blocked him.

“If you have something to say, say it at the door. Did I invite you into my house?”

She spoke impolitely, leaning against the doorframe and blocking his path.

Anger surged in Zhao Zhuqing’s heart, but he still suppressed it. He had come today to ask for money and also to help Tianjing ask for the jade bracelet. He absolutely could not have a conflict with Lin Qianhuan.

Once he got the money, it wouldn’t be too late to kick this bitch away.

He smiled gently and immediately tried to take Lin Qianhuan’s hand, but she avoided him with disgust.

“Don’t touch me, I think you’re dirty.”

The smile on Zhao Zhuqing’s face instantly froze. He took several deep breaths to barely maintain the false smile on his face: “Qianhuan, are you angry that I haven’t talked to you these past few days?

You also know that my family is not well-off. To give you a better life, I’ve been working part-time outside every day to earn money. I’m just too tired and busy, so I couldn’t contact you in time.”
