System Glitch! I Accidentally Saved The Zombie Emperor

When Liu Yun heard Qiu Sixun’s question, her heart sank. Her fingers unconsciously tightened around her clothes as she lowered her eyes to hide her fear and anxiety.

’It’s over! It’s over! How am I supposed to explain that medicine’s origin?! I can’t let them find out about the System’s existence!’

While Liu Yun was panicking, a hoarse, deep voice sounded in the surroundings.

"She saved my life. There is no need to ask anything."

Liu Yun’s heart skipped a beat when she heard that.

Raising her head, she saw that Ye Xuan was still staring at her. Within those cold eyes, she could see curiosity, doubt, and gratitude.

Facing those complicated emotions hidden behind his cold gaze, a memory suddenly surfaced in her mind. She had seen the same curiosity and doubt in the Zombie Emperor’s crimson eyes.

Shaking her head, Liu Yun quickly stopped herself from recalling that terrifying experience.

’Liu Yun, he is a human. Stay calm. The priority right now is to wait for the System to come back online before making your next move.’

Since Ye Xuan had spoken up for Liu Yun, Qiu Sixun simply said, "Since Brother Xuan has already said so, then I won’t ask."

He then took out a small pack of compressed biscuits and a bottle of mineral water from his backpack.

Placing them in front of Liu Yun, he said, "You just lost a lot of blood. Eat something and recover your energy."

Without waiting for her response, he took out four more packs of compressed biscuits and two bottles of mineral water.

Handing the food to Gu Zhenwei, Lan Zuancheng, and Ye Xuan, he said, "After eating, I will go out and scout the area. We need to find more food, water, and some medicine."

"I will go with you later," Gu Zhenwei said before tearing open the packaging of his compressed biscuits.

"Alright."

While they ate, Ye Xuan’s eyes never left Liu Yun.

Being stared at by him put Liu Yun under tremendous pressure. She was too afraid to stay, but she had no choice. Looking at the compressed biscuits and bottle of mineral water in front of her, she let out a helpless sigh.

’Forget it. Let’s eat first before thinking about anything else.’

With that thought in mind, Liu Yun tore open the pack of compressed biscuits. Under Ye Xuan’s intense gaze, she took a bite.

Liu Yun chewed the compressed biscuit for a long time before finally swallowing it. However, it was dry, hard to swallow, and quite choking.

Fortunately, Qiu Sixun had also given her some water. Otherwise, she would choke to death before she finished this piece of compressed biscuit.

Opening the bottle of mineral water, she quickly took two mouthfuls and forcefully swallowed the biscuit down.

Letting out a sigh of relief, she looked at the hard compressed biscuit in her hand and sighed again.

’This compressed biscuit is really difficult to eat.’

Although she didn’t like compressed biscuits, food and water were more valuable than gold in the apocalypse. For Qiu Sixun to give her these compressed biscuits, he was already being very generous.

Liu Yun had no intention of wasting either the food or his kindness.

Taking a deep breath, she bravely took another small bite. This time, she had learned her lesson and ate more slowly.

By the time she finished one pack of compressed biscuits and drank half the bottle of water, ten minutes had passed.

Seeing that she had finished eating, Lan Zuancheng said, "Miss Liu, thank you for saving Brother Xuan’s life. If you don’t mind, how about traveling with us? We are planning to leave Ji City today."

Liu Yun pondered Lan Zuancheng’s invitation for a moment before saying. "I also want to leave Ji City. But I’m afraid I will drag you guys down."

When Gu Zhenwei heard this, he quickly said, "Younger sister, you are our benefactor. No matter what, we will protect you and help you leave Ji City safely."

He paused for a moment as he recalled how she had shoved Lan Zuancheng aside with a single push.

"Besides, since you managed to survive in the city center area, I believe you have your own abilities and strengths. You won’t drag us down."

Grinning at her, he added, "Who knows? Maybe we will be the ones dragging you down and needing your protection later."

Listening to his words, the corner of Liu Yun’s lips twitched.

She had intended to separate from them by saying those words. Who knew whether Gu Zhenwei truly didn’t understand her hidden meaning or was simply pretending not to?

Unfortunately, regardless of whether he was pretending or not, Liu Yun had no good reason to reject the invitation now that he had said those words.

Besides, with the future Zombie Emperor staring at her, she didn’t have the courage to reject Lan Zuancheng’s offer either.

After thinking for a moment, she gritted her teeth and made her decision. "Alright. Then I will trouble Elder Brother Lan and your friends."

Receiving her positive answer, Lan Zuancheng smiled. "No, no, no. This is the least we can do to repay your life-saving grace."

Now that they had decided to leave Ji City together, it was time to plan a safe route. Taking a map from his backpack, Lan Zuancheng spread it across the dirty floor.

After everyone gathered around, he pointed to a location on the map and said, "This is our current location."

He then pointed to three more locations and continued, "I observed these areas yesterday. Most of the zombies were concentrated in these three locations. As long as we avoid them, it shouldn’t be difficult to leave the city center."

While listening to Lan Zuancheng’s explanation, Liu Yun realized that the three locations he pointed out were exactly where she had hunted crystal cores the previous night.

’Last night, I cleared out all the zombies in the city center. There shouldn’t be any new ones gathering there so soon.’

Lan Zuancheng looked up and noticed that Liu Yun was deep in thought. "Miss Liu, do you have anything you’d like to add?"
