[The Ghost Vine is hiding in your pocket; the others are in the contract list. They’re perfectly safe.]

With the system’s response, Lin Yun felt relieved.

The survivor who had screamed was surrounded by zombies, who pounced on him, their roars filling the air.

That person... wasn’t going to survive.

Although the zombies had spotted them, most of them rushed toward the source of the scream.

Lin Yun gripped the Vajra Ant Leg Bone tightly, glanced over, and after confirming that no zombies were paying attention to her, she instantly rushed out.

The zombie blocking her path was struck in the head by the Vajra Ant Leg Bone in her hand and fell to the ground.

Thick brain matter sprayed all over Lin Yun’s body. She tried to dodge, but couldn’t avoid it.

She wasn’t sure whether the zombies here were like the ones in novels, where destroying their heads was enough to kill them, but... judging from the condition of the zombie that had just fallen, it seemed that was indeed the case.

Near the surrounded survivor, there were several other people. Without exception, they were also trapped by the surrounding zombies. However, they still had weapons, so they picked them up and began attacking the zombies.

The smell of blood and flesh, along with the sounds of fierce fighting, attracted even more zombies, which rushed toward them.

The other survivors took advantage of the zombies being drawn in that direction and quickly got up and fled.

No one wanted to fight those zombies. There were simply too many of them, and they couldn’t defeat them.

While fleeing, some survivors noticed Lin Yun’s movements. The newcomers, lacking suitable weapons, could only watch enviously before quickly making their escape.

The veterans didn’t react much. When zombies blocked their paths, they simply took weapons from their backpacks and attacked them, buying themselves some time.

The zombies, having finished devouring the corpses, dispersed and spotted the fleeing survivors.

Lin Yun realized this as well. Not wanting to remain entangled with these zombies, she quickly took out the contract list and summoned Green Ivy.

When she took out the pothos plant, she deliberately concealed it with her body so that no one would notice.

"Green Ivy, activate the mist!"

Her voice wasn’t loud. Only Green Ivy could hear her.

White mist instantly surrounded Lin Yun, and in the blink of an eye, she disappeared from sight.

The other survivors were all taken aback.

However, the white fog had arrived at just the right moment, increasing their chances of escaping, even though their visibility was greatly reduced within the mist.

The zombies were momentarily stunned, unable to distinguish the survivors’ locations.

After Lin Yun emerged from the white mist, she immediately ran.

Outside the square was a main road, and behind it was a shopping mall.

Needless to say, there must be a large number of zombies inside the mall. Going in would most likely be like a lamb entering a tiger’s den.

Lin Yun could only hurry and find a suitable place to establish her shelter.

There were some small shops and residential buildings around the mall.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to her, she picked a flower shop and rushed inside.

She placed her hand on the door of the staff break room inside the flower shop.

[Survivor Lin Yun has been detected as having chosen this rest area as her shelter. Would you like to bind your account?]

[Congratulations, survivor Lin Yun, for successfully binding this rest area as a shelter again!]

Lin Yun opened the door and rushed into the shelter.

After entering, she immediately went into the bathroom.

She had to change her dirty clothes. When she first woke up, she had been lying on the floor covered in blood and filth.

As they ran, their shoes made a "squeaking" sound whenever they stepped on the ground, sending chills down her spine.

Lin Yun took the Ghost Vine out of her pocket again, washed it under the tap, and said, "Little Vine, get me a clean set of clothes."

Okay~

Ghost Vine slipped out of the bathroom and went to the bed to get Lin Yun another set of clothes.

After coming out of the bathroom, Lin Yun was clean again.

"System, if someone opens the door from outside, they shouldn’t be able to enter my shelter, right?"

Lin Yun suddenly remembered that the shelter was a separate space.

[Would you like to camouflage it? Ghost Vine is a companion plant and can be used for camouflage.]

"How exactly does that work?"

[This world isn’t just for new survivors. If the door to the rest area is discovered, it could potentially be opened using an item. I suggest you spend points to build another door next to it.]

[Perfect timing. This is a flower shop, so having fake vines as decorations is perfectly normal, right?]

Lin Yun immediately understood what the system meant.

She could use Ghost Vine’s vines to cover the door leading to the shelter, turning it into a wall of withered vines. Then, she could spend points to create another door next to it, leading into the original rest area.

That way, even if someone saw her enter the flower shop, they wouldn’t think anything was wrong because of their preconceived notions.

"You can deduct the points."

[10 points have been deducted. The shelter door is now hidden.]

Under the system’s guidance, Ghost Vine also created a wall of withered vines.

Creating the withered vines wasn’t difficult for Ghost Vine. It repaired and arranged them in no time.

Lin Yun looked outside through the peephole again. After confirming that no one was there, she opened the door and went out to take a look.

Yes.

It was hidden perfectly.

Who would have thought that the vine wall next to the lounge door was actually the real entrance to the shelter?

The flowers in the florist had long since withered and emitted a rotten smell.

Just then, footsteps suddenly came from outside.

They must have been the survivors from earlier.

Lin Yun quickly returned to the shelter and observed the activity outside through the peephole.

The flower shop wasn’t very large, and there wasn’t much of a view from inside.

Several survivors ran from left to right, followed by a long line of zombies.

The zombies roared as they relentlessly pursued their prey.

Lin Yun clicked her tongue again.

Damn it, she had chosen a terrible location for her shelter.

In a moment of panic, she hadn’t had much choice but to run into this place.

She wondered if the flower shop had any other exits.

After the commotion outside subsided, Lin Yun brought Ghost Vine back out.

The flower shop was a mess. There wasn’t much decoration on the glass windows, so everything inside could be seen from outside.

After thinking for a moment, she carefully walked over and pulled down the decorative curtain covering the glass window. She then had Ghost Vine wrap some vines around it, allowing it to at least block part of the view.

However, she couldn’t make it look too deliberate, lest she attract the attention of more cunning survivors.

The flower shop had a wooden door covered in bloodstains, and there were also bloody footprints near the entrance.

Lin Yun frowned again.

She hurriedly returned to the shelter, took out her unwashed shoes, changed into them, and ran outside.

She still had to do what needed to be done.

It was also a good opportunity to go outside and observe the surrounding environment.

[Random Quest: Kill and submit 3 zombies.]

[Mission Difficulty: Rank D]

[Task Reward: Expand the shelter by 1 square meter.]

"Come on!"

Lin Yun’s eyes lit up.

She accepted the quest without hesitation.

She had just been about to leave, and this mission had appeared at exactly the right time.

However, the nearby zombies seemed to have been drawn away by the fleeing survivors, and Lin Yun didn’t see any zombies when she came outside.

The flower shop was located at a corner to the left of the square’s main entrance.

The location was fairly good.
