"Actually, it’s not just the Outer Ring Road. The Inner Ring Roads have this problem too, but it’s not that common. Most people are too lazy to bother with them, so nowadays, they can only take advantage of newcomers like you."

"They make you think they’re some powerful organization that can help you or something, but that’s not actually the case."

"The ’Blue System’ you just mentioned belongs to the Blue Sky Group. Sounds impressive, right? But they’re actually just a bunch of thugs putting on a show."

"They specifically target newcomers. If you run into them, run as fast as you can."

"Oh, there’s another group called Baiyun. They’re alright. They provide all kinds of information for newcomers, and they have NPC supply channels, so their prices are quite cheap—almost the same as the Points Mall."

"Baiyun is decent. They don’t actively seek out newcomers. They mainly operate around the Second Ring Road, with some people in the Third Ring Road."

"As for the others, just ignore them. None of them are any good. Newcomers are guaranteed to get ripped off."

The man had been scammed before, so he had no good impression of those people.

They were already struggling to survive in this world, yet they still engaged in this kind of nonsense.

Who knew when they might die?

What was the point of setting up these so-called factions in a transit station?

Lin Yun couldn’t understand the significance of these so-called factions either.

She nodded and asked, "What else do you know? Just tell me anything you know."

"Most people are independent survivors. They don’t need to join any organization. It’s unnecessary. Everyone is already too busy trying to survive in the real world. There’s no point in getting involved in this stuff at the transit station."

"If you can afford it, move farther inside. There’s nothing good on the Outer Ring Road."

"And don’t go outside the city. A girl like you would be devoured without a trace. There are no restrictions outside, either. Fights and brawls happen everywhere. It’s a chaotic mix of all kinds of people."

"The Fourth Ring Road is better than the Outer Ring Road. The Inner Ring Road is undoubtedly the best, with the best resources. Of course, it’s also more expensive, but the quality of the goods is worth the price."

"Try to earn your points within the Third Ring Road."

As he said this, the man gave her a meaningful look.

His implication was already obvious.

"If you want to sell something, you must first find the market manager NPC and fill out a form. Otherwise, they won’t be responsible for your safety."

Although fighting was prohibited in the main city, people’s hearts were complicated, and they were capable of using all kinds of methods.

"There are shops within the Third Ring Road. They’re safer, but you’ll have to pay rent."

...

Half an hour later, Lin Yun left and headed back toward her shelter, following the route displayed on the map.

The man had told her a lot.

This main city was far more complicated than she had imagined.

Along the way, many survivors openly stared at her, as though they had their eyes on some kind of prey.

Lin Yun ignored them.

She simply followed the map, turning left and right, avoiding their gazes until she finally returned to her shelter.

After that, she didn’t go out again.

She planned to prepare and store more delicious food. No matter what happened, she didn’t want to neglect her stomach.

After spending the remaining time preparing, Lin Yun received another system notification.

[Global deployment is about to begin...]

[The three cards before you correspond to three different worlds. Survivors, please make your choice.]

Three golden cards appeared before Lin Yun once again.

"...This kind of option is available too?"

[Yes. How about that? Isn’t it more user-friendly? After all, the system randomly generated the results before, and if they didn’t meet your expectations, we’d easily get criticized. So, we’ve changed it. Now you can choose for yourselves. If you make the choice yourselves, you have no reason to criticize the system.]

Lin Yun:

"..."

She chose the golden card on the far right.

[Congratulations to Survivor Lin Yun for choosing the Zombie World again.]

[Survivor selection complete. Deployment is beginning. Please do not leave the shelter during this time!]

After the system notification ended, Lin Yun’s vision gradually blurred again.

She knew that the system was once again projecting itself onto her from all directions.

After regaining consciousness, Lin Yun looked at the scene around her and cursed under her breath several times.

It was exactly what she had feared.

The system had thrown these survivors directly into a horde of zombies!

The zombies around them wandered aimlessly, seemingly unaware of the suddenly appearing survivors.

Fortunately, the zombies had not discovered them yet, giving everyone some time to recover.

Some survivors had already experienced several worlds, so they remained relatively calm.

They slowed their breathing, gradually adjusted their positions, and then fled after a while.

Lin Yun carefully sat up and looked around, searching for a suitable escape route.

Zombies were not something to be trifled with.

One grab, and you were done.

They appeared to be in a crowded square, surrounded by countless zombies. Mangled pieces of flesh and corpses were scattered everywhere.

The entire area was a bloody mess.

Some zombies even began fighting and devouring one another after bumping into each other.

But that wasn’t the worst part.

The commotion caused by the feeding attracted even more zombies. They rushed over, pounced on the others, and began tearing into their own kind as well.

Lin Yun’s vision blurred again and again.

Although she had known that this world would be terrible when she chose the Zombie World, she hadn’t expected it to start so abruptly.

Was this kind of restricted content really something she should be watching?

Many of the surrounding survivors were already preparing to flee, while a few others had only just begun to regain consciousness.

Lin Yun carefully shifted her position again, only to realize that her hand had pressed into a puddle of something indescribable.

She frowned and shook her hand.

It was sticky and extremely difficult to ignore.

At the same time, she continued paying attention to her surroundings and silently searched for the best escape route.

She knew that once more survivors fully regained consciousness, someone would definitely scream after seeing the gruesome scene, attracting the zombies’ attention.

[Survival missions have been issued! Please check your account!]

Survival Mission 1: Find a suitable location to establish a shelter within 1 hour and bind it to the shelter.

Mission Reward: 10 points.

[Survival Mission 2: Survive in the Zombie World for 40 days!]

Mission Difficulty: C-level.

Mission Reward: 100 points.

"Ah—!"

A scream suddenly rang out.

Lin Yun looked toward the source.

As expected, someone had screamed.

The next second, the zombies that had been piling on top of one another and devouring each other suddenly turned their heads toward the source of the sound.

They abandoned their meal and rushed toward the screaming survivor.

Lin Yun immediately stopped moving.

Although the scream had exposed their location, it had also made the zombies’ movements much clearer, allowing her to see her escape route more easily.

However, because of that scream, their location had also been completely exposed.

Lin Yun reached into her backpack and pulled out the Vajra Ant Leg Bone, gripping it tightly in her hand.

The leg bone was smaller than the Stem Stick, making it less noticeable to the survivors around her.

But...

What about her little ones?
