"You can't just retreat and pretend nothing happened..."

"Lying right after we meet, I suspect you're not a good person!!"

"My beautiful lady! No!"

Lin Li dragged the bag quickly forward and reached the head.

However, on his way there, Lin Li was also paying attention to the second floor, staying vigilant.

Who knows if this head is like a bait, dropped intentionally to lure him.

But the other party made no extra movements, behaving honestly and even didn't poke her body out.

Perhaps she felt embarrassed.

So he picked up the head; luckily, the beautiful lady's chin and upper jaw were still there.

As long as the mouth is intact, it's fine.

Affectionately patting the beautiful lady's skull, Lin Li tossed it into the bag, dragged it into the building, and began to look for the stairs.

After finding them, he started going upstairs, but halfway, Lin Li stopped and called out: "Hello, I'm coming up?"

"Okay."

With permission granted, Lin Li formally dragged the beautiful lady up to the second floor.

The masked survivor was still standing by the wall, very close to the edge, with vigilant eyes, seemingly ready to leave through the large breach in the wall at any moment of danger.

Lin Li decided not to get any closer.

"Hi, I'm Bai Bufan." To show sincerity, Lin Li introduced himself first.

"Sudan." The other party nodded.

A steel rod was tossed over, and Lin Li caught it with his empty right hand steadily.

"This steel rod is yours, returning it to you," Sudan said.

"No need, I have new ones. It's yours." Lin Li shook his head, threw the rod back, while pointing to the weapon at his waist.

Then followed a brief silence.

"I think we both have a lot of questions for each other. Let me reveal a secret of mine first, which indeed needs some pre-explanation.

— I'm not from your world; I came from another world."

Lin Li started off with a bombshell.

After all, Lin Li felt there was no need to hide this point.

Sudan saw him disappear right in front of her eyes, and Lin Li felt he couldn't act like a native without inconsistency, so better to speak the truth.

This way, it would be much simpler when asking for information about this world.

"Not from our world..." Sudan murmured, sounding a bit surprised, but accepted it quickly; maybe only like this could the bizarre scenes she had witnessed be explained:

"So... do you also speak 'Gaiwen'?"

"Gaiwen? Sort of, we call it Chinese, but we have other languages too, like... How are you?" Lin Li shrugged.

Sudan: "…"

"I'm fine, thank you. And you?" she responded.

"Damn."

"Hmm... perhaps saying 'fuck' would be more appropriate here?"

"FUCK."

Lin Li couldn't hold it anymore, damn, where the hell did I end up, is this still an alternate world, doesn't this feel like home?

"What do you call this planet, Earth, Blue Star?" Lin Li continued to ask.

"Mingyuan."

"Alright, that does sound a bit cooler than ours." Lin Li expressed his approval.

"…I think yours sounds nicer." Sudan shook her head.

Then Lin Li asked Sudan some questions about this planet's background.

It's like a parallel world. While the languages here are basically similar, with Earth's major languages existing in different federal states, the history of the planet from the past to now is entirely different.

Sudan's descriptions of Mingyuan Star's history had no equivalents that Lin Li could match in his mind. The city beneath their feet was called 'Cloudlight,' belonging to the 'Cloud Kingdom' with a population of seventy million.

And thus, many idiomatic expressions related to cultural references were completely misunderstood between them.

As their mutual understanding of each other's backgrounds deepened, they gradually became less wary of each other, putting down their weapons in tacit agreement and moving closer for better communication.

"Without Genshin Impact, without Kobe, someone like me with such juvenile jokes would surely have a hard time surviving in this world," Lin Li said heavily.

"Genshin Impact...? Is it some supernatural deity?" Sudan asked, full of confusion.

Lin Li's eyes slowly turned to Sudan, thinking: you're the one who asked.

With a broadcasting tone, he began to chant:

"Genshin Impact is a new open-world adventure game independently developed by miHoYo... You will play as a mysterious character known as 'Traveler'... concurrently, gradually uncovering the truth of 'Genshin Impact.'"

Perhaps it's because this world had no Genshin Impact that it turned out this way.

It's utterly terrifying when thought deeply; miHoYo never denied saving the world.

Sudan: "?"

"So it's actually a game? Then... it must be very fun, right?" Sudan said politely, seeing the earnest look on Lin Li's face.

"So what year is it based on your calendar here?" Lin Li returned to the main topic.

"1435."

"How did Mingyuan Star become like this? Could you explain these zombies to me, especially whether their bites can turn the living into zombies?"

Lin Li looked out towards the ruins and asked.

At his words, Sudan also looked out at the world outside the building, her gaze shifting from a look of dumbfoundedness to one of slight sadness:

"How did it become like this? Two years ago, without any warning, the zombie plague broke out. Without contact, without biting, large numbers of people senselessly turned into zombies and began attacking all living beings indiscriminately, even now I don't know the reason.

Creatures killed by them have a high chance of 'resurrecting' as zombies, but as long as humans aren't dead, the wound, albeit inflamed or even festering, won't affect their mind, nor will they turn into zombies, it can be cured.
