Inside Liu Yun’s sea of consciousness, the System rolled its eyes. After a moment of silence, it replied expressionlessly, [Player, you didn’t ask.]

Liu Yun ignored the System’s reply as her mind raced while she stared at the brief information displayed on the transparent blue screen.

’What should I do? He is a Reborner. Based on my experience reading countless novels, almost all Reborners return for revenge. Looking at his current condition, he must be one of them.’

Grabbing her hair, Liu Yun screamed inwardly in panic, ’Ahh!! What should I do?! I don’t want to get involved in this mess!’

While Liu Yun was panicking, Qiu Sixun, Gu Zhenwei, and Lan Zuancheng stared at Ru Jianxiao’s body in stunned silence.

After cleaning the blood off his body, the three of them were surprised to find that there were no injuries on his body at all.

Looking away from Ru Jianxiao’s sunken stomach, Gu Zhenwei looked at Qiu Sixun and asked, "Brother Sixun, what do you think about this?"

Qiu Sixun frowned slightly before looking at his two brothers and asking, "Zhenwei, Zuancheng, are you two sure that he was beaten half to death by Ye Jin’s bodyguards?"

Gu Zhenwei and Lan Zuancheng nodded in response.

"We definitely saw him being beaten by Ye Jin’s bodyguards," Gu Zhenwei explained. Pointing at Lan Zuancheng, he added, "Brother Zuancheng even dragged me along after they took him away."

Qiu Sixun turned to Lan Zuancheng and saw him nod in confirmation.

He fell silent for a few seconds before asking, "Zuancheng, why did you follow them?"

Lan Zuancheng looked at Ru Jianxiao for a moment before turning to Qiu Sixun. "Liu Ruyan and this man attended the same high school as us."

When he heard this, Gu Zhenwei’s eyes widened in surprise. Staring at Lan Zuancheng, he asked with a hint of doubt in his voice, "Really?! Why don’t I remember him?"

Hearing this, Lan Zuancheng rolled his eyes at Gu Zhenwei. "You were busy making trouble in high school. How could you recognize him?"

Seeing that the conversation was going off track, Qiu Sixun asked, "Zuancheng, you must know something more about this man, right?"

When asked, Lan Zuancheng nodded. "Yes. This man’s name is Ru Jianxiao. He was one of the top students who got into our high school through a scholarship. If not for Brother Xuan topping every examination, the first rank would be his."

Listening to his explanation, Gu Zhenwei curiously asked, "Then, what is his relationship with Liu Ruyan? Why does he seem to hate her so much?"

Lan Zuancheng recalled his memories for a moment before saying, "I remember that Liu Ruyan and Ru Jianxiao were childhood sweethearts and are neighbors. The two of them even dated when we were in high school."

"I don’t know the details, but I heard that Liu Ruyan dumped him during their third year of high school and started pursuing those rich kids from our circle."

He paused for a moment before adding, "As for why he hates her so much, I have no idea. Maybe we can find out after he wakes up."

Now that he understood the reason behind Lan Zuancheng’s curiosity about Ru Jianxiao, Qiu Sixun looked at Ru Jianxiao and said, "Judging from his current condition, this Ru Jianxiao might possess a light-element ability."

When he heard this, Lan Zuancheng’s eyes flickered. He looked at Qiu Sixun and asked, "Brother Sixun, you mean... he is a healing ability user?"

Qiu Sixun nodded in response. "As you said, we might be able to find out more about him after he wakes up. For now, we can only wait."

Exchanging glances, Gu Zhenwei and Lan Zuancheng nodded in agreement.

"Alright."

After reaching an agreement, Qiu Sixun covered Ru Jianxiao with a thin blanket while Gu Zhenwei took Ru Jianxiao’s blood-covered clothes away and burned them.

Left with nothing to do, Lan Zuancheng got up from the ground and walked toward Liu Yun.

Noticing that she was grabbing her hair in frustration, he asked with a hint of worry in his voice, "Younger Sister Liu, what’s wrong? Why are you pulling your hair like that?"

Startled by his sudden question, Liu Yun accidentally pulled out a few strands of hair.

"Ouch!"

Grimacing in pain, she looked up and saw Lan Zuancheng staring at her with clear worry in his eyes.

Holding back her tears, she forced a smile and replied, "Uh... It’s nothing. I haven’t showered for days, so my scalp is a little itchy."

Lan Zuancheng blinked twice when he heard this.

Glancing at Liu Yun’s hair, he coughed lightly and said, "There are a few shower rooms in this gas station. If you want to take a shower, I can accompany you and check them out."

Liu Yun had only been spouting nonsense without thinking.

Looking at Lan Zuancheng’s serious expression, she felt a little guilty. Shaking her head and waving her hands, she quickly said, "Thank you, Elder Brother Zuancheng. But I don’t feel safe taking a shower here."

Thinking that she was afraid of the survivors and zombies outside, Lan Zuancheng didn’t force her.

"Alright. If you need anything, don’t be shy. Just let us know."

Liu Yun smiled at his words. "Got it."

Seeing that she was really alright, Lan Zuancheng looked at his watch and added, "It’s already afternoon. You must be hungry. We found some instant noodles today. Do you want some?"

Liu Yun wanted to refuse, but her stomach suddenly protested.

Grrruu~!

She blushed and hurriedly covered her stomach. Too embarrassed to look at Lan Zuancheng, Liu Yun could only lower her head and wail inwardly, ’Ugh! So embarrassing! Why is the timing so perfect?!’

Knowing that she felt embarrassed, Lan Zuancheng smiled. "Wait here. I will make a bowl for you."

Leaving those words behind, he turned around and went to find Gu Zhenwei and Qiu Sixun.

Looking at his back, Liu Yun let out a sigh.

She glanced at Ye Xuan, who was sleeping nearby, and thought, ’The Zombie Emperor is so lucky to have friends like them. I’m so envious!’

While she was thinking, the System’s mechanical voice suddenly echoed in her mind.

[Player, you haven’t checked the Farming feature yet. This System recommends checking it as soon as possible to avoid missing any rewards.]

When she heard this, Liu Yun’s attention was drawn away from Ye Xuan.

Slapping her forehead, she exclaimed, ’That’s right! How could I forget about this?!’

With anticipation in her eyes, she added, ’System, open the Farming feature!’

A second after she said that, a notification rang in her mind.

Ding!

[Congratulations, Player, on unlocking the Farming feature. A new feature has been added to the System’s main interface. The Player can explore the Farming feature through the System interface.]

The moment she heard this, Liu Yun summoned the System’s main interface. When she saw the new icon that had appeared there, she clicked on it without hesitation.

Ding!

[Assessing the Farmland.]

A second later, Liu Yun felt as if her soul had been sucked out of her body. Before she could react, her feet touched soft ground, and another notification rang in her mind.

Ding!

[Welcome, Player, to the Multiverse Farmland.]

Hearing this, Liu Yun opened her eyes. The moment she saw the scene before her, she froze in shock.
