A Fake Holy Mother in the Zombie Apocalypse

That's right, that's how it is, Bei Nuan thought.

Because she had to answer the question directly, Bei Nuan even made a serious "Mmm" sound.

The moment Lu Xingchi kissed Bei Nuan, he shed the pretense of acting cute and coquettish, completely revealing his wolfish nature.

He used one hand to grip her waist and the other to control her head, pressing her into his arms.

He seemed to be restraining his desire, but one could still see the cold glint of the wolf's sharp claws.

This was a safe zone, with absolutely no fear of zombies suddenly popping out, so Bei Nuan was very relaxed even under the wolf's claws.

A little too relaxed. When she came back to her senses, she found herself pinned to the grass by him.

Lu Xingchi looked down at her, his arms propped on the grass, no longer kissing her.

The setting sun cast its last rays on the grassy slope, also gilding his long, thick eyelashes with a layer of gold, like an angel's wings.

However, his eyes didn't look like that at all. Something was wrong. She didn't know what he was thinking.

Noticing that she had opened her eyes, he raised his hand and undid two buttons of his shirt with his slender fingers before leaning down.

He had undone too many buttons. From Bei Nuan's perspective, not only his beautiful collarbones were visible, but also everything inside.

This guy appraises bitches all day long, but he's the biggest scheming bitch himself.

Bei Nuan couldn't help but let her gaze wander downwards, but Lu Xingchi asked knowingly, "What are you looking at?"

Bei Nuan denied it. "I'm not looking at anything."

Lu Xingchi twitched the corner of his mouth and kissed her fiercely again.

This time, he used all his skills to seduce her, tempt her, ambitious, not knowing what he wanted to do.

Bei Nuan was not tempted by this fallen great angel. After a while, she found a chance to dodge him and gently kicked his leg. "Isn't Jiang Fei's meal ready yet? I guess they'll be looking for us in a while."

Lu Xingchi gnashed his teeth.

After a long while, he said, "Why is there a Jiang Fei in this world?"

That was too heartless. Bei Nuan reminded him, "It's great to have Jiang Fei. Because without Jiang Fei, everyone would starve to death. Even if they didn't starve to death, they'd probably be dying of cravings."

Lu Xingchi was helpless. He grabbed her chin, kissed her again, and then released her, flipping over to sit up.

Bei Nuan scrambled up from the grass. In the blink of an eye, she had returned to her cheerful, lively self, happily asking, "Let's go?"

Lu Xingchi nodded but didn't move.

His face was expressionless, but his heart was full of frustration.

From beginning to end, even during their intimacy, she had never said those three unspeakable words.

This meant that she was not infatuated with his kisses at all, and her mind had been clear the whole time.

Lu Xingchi casually fastened two buttons on his shirt. For the first time in his life, he doubted his own looks and felt a little frantic.

Shouldn't I have taken my clothes off so quickly last time?

Lu Xingchi pondered secretly, feeling a little regretful.

Now that she had seen everything, there was no sense of mystery anymore.

Lu Xingchi thought for a while and then buttoned the top button of his shirt, which had been open all the time.

Bei Nuan didn't know his complicated thoughts. Her mind had already flown away.

Because when Lu Xingchi raised his hand to undo his buttons, Bei Nuan caught a glimpse of the watch on his wrist.

To be precise, she saw the time on the watch face.

She suddenly realized that after happily playing games all day, the eight hours of the "Do As You Please" task, along with the one-hour penalty, were about to pass in the blink of an eye.

While Lu Xingchi was trying to show off the scenery inside his shirt, Bei Nuan only glanced at it before hurrying to open the taskbar.

Less than ten minutes left on the timer.

For the last ten minutes, she had to be focused and absolutely couldn't make any mistakes.

Fortunately, Lu Xingchi was only focused on kissing and didn't intend to entice her to speak at all.

Bei Nuan kissed absentmindedly, staring at the timer on the taskbar as it ticked forward second by second, wanting to jump up with joy.

Although she felt a little like a scumbag who was making out with his girlfriend while checking his phone, she couldn't suppress her excitement.

Bei Nuan had only one thought in her mind: what kind of ability would "Do As You Please" be?

In the last three minutes, Bei Nuan couldn't help but push Lu Xingchi away. Every word she said was very cautious, making sure not to break any taboos.

The timer finally ended.

Bei Nuan walked while looking at the task description.

The task description was very simple, only one sentence: You will become everything you want to be.

Bei Nuan thought, Bullshit.

Can I become electromagnetic waves, air, quarks, black holes, the Andromeda Galaxy?

Could I instantly create billions of Bei Nuans, each holding an electromagnetic cannon, and wipe out all the zombies in the world in minutes?

Sure enough, following Bei Nuan's thoughts, a line of small print immediately and urgently appeared after the description: Limited to a single entity with a similar volume and reasonable function that does not disrupt the balance, and the system reserves the right of final interpretation.

The system was getting more and more shameless lately. It boasted like crazy and then tried to backtrack.

The limiting conditions were vague and without standards. A single sentence about the right of final interpretation settled everything.

But in any case, this ability seemed like a lot of fun.

It was a pity that Lu Xingchi was by her side, so she couldn't try it out right now.

When the two returned to the SUV, Jiang Fei and the others had indeed finished cooking.

Tang Tang saw Lu Xingchi, his gaze falling on his collar. "Brother Lu, aren't you hot with your buttons buttoned up so tightly?"

Just as Lu Xingchi was about to speak, he saw Bei Nuan reach out and undo the top button for him.

"It's cooler this way," Bei Nuan smiled at him. "It looks better too."

Lu Xingchi's face didn't move, but he thought in his heart: She likes it this way. She thinks it looks better this way.

Lu Xingchi silently opened his collar a little more.

After everyone had dinner, they discussed it and decided to continue driving, planning to drive to Salun City overnight without sleeping.

The SUV drove forward on the silent highway. Everyone in the back seat was asleep, and only Lu Xingchi, who was driving, was still awake.

Bei Nuan leaned against the passenger seat, pretending to doze off, but her mind was planning about the new ability.

If I use it just a little bit, they shouldn't notice, right?

Bei Nuan concentrated her thoughts on her hair.

The ends of her hair resting on her chest lengthened by an inch at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Bei Nuan secretly glanced at Lu Xingchi. He was focused on driving and didn't seem to have noticed anything.

Bei Nuan felt relieved and looked for the countdown timer in the taskbar, but couldn't find it.

In other words, she could return to normal at any time?

Bei Nuan thought about her hair again.

The ends of her hair quickly returned to their normal length as if they were alive.

This skill had no cooldown time. She could change it however she wanted. No wonder it was called "Do As You Please."

Bei Nuan glanced at her hand again.

With a whoosh, a flash of cold light, one of her fingers turned into a sharp dagger.

So cool.

When others were unprepared, parts of her body could suddenly turn into weapons. Like the liquid metal robot in Terminator, this skill was invincible for ambushes.

Lu Xingchi suddenly turned his head.

Bei Nuan quickly restored her finger and asked him first, "What's wrong? Are you sleepy? Otherwise, should we pull over and sleep for a while before driving?"

Lu Xingchi raised an eyebrow. "Aren't you going to continue playing that 'no you, no I' game?"

He noticed that there were taboo words in Bei Nuan's sentence just now.

Bei Nuan breathed a sigh of relief. "I'm not playing anymore. It's too scary to talk like that."

Now Lu Xingchi could definitely guess that she had completed her task, but he would never guess what new and interesting thing she had obtained.

Bei Nuan was a little smug, thinking, Come on, guess if you can.

Bei Nuan turned sideways, leaning against the seat, facing the car door, using her body to block Lu Xingchi's view.

Then she frantically experimented with her newly acquired ability.

Bei Nuan quickly discovered that the ability was very strong. She could transform into many things. She could even make parts of her body slightly detach from her body.

But the distance was limited. It couldn't be too far.

So she couldn't transform into throwing knives or bullets that could be fired, but transforming into rings and bracelets that could be rotated, or glasses that could be taken off, was completely fine.

This was probably what the "single entity" in the task description meant.

The elasticity of the volume that could be transformed was also okay.

Bei Nuan tried it and had no problem shrinking her hand to the size of a kitten's paw or enlarging it to the size of a cattail leaf fan.

Any smaller or larger wouldn't work.

The beauty of this skill was that whatever she transformed into was lifelike.

Bei Nuan didn't have to think about it in detail at all. The system automatically helped her fill in the details, making it even more exquisite than what Bei Nuan had imagined.

Bei Nuan stretched out her hands. With a thought, a pair of metal claws like Wolverine's appeared on her hands.

The claws retracted at Bei Nuan's will, disappearing without a trace.

Bei Nuan stretched out two index fingers again. The tips of the two index fingers suddenly pulled out sharp, gleaming cones, which quickly stretched and lengthened, eventually joining together.

If someone were between her two fingers at this moment, they would immediately be pierced through a hole.

Bei Nuan moved her mind again. The long thorn connecting the two fingers suddenly softened, turning into a soft but sharp steel wire, perfect for wrapping around someone's neck.

Do as you please, is a murder weapon.

It could also be disguised as someone else at will, making people relax their vigilance, and then attacking them by surprise.

This ability was a natural assassin skill, nimble and powerful, making it impossible to defend against.

Bei Nuan leaned back in her seat, facing away from Lu Xingchi, secretly playing and happily examining her hands repeatedly.

"What are you doing?" Lu Xingchi's voice suddenly popped up in her ear.

Bei Nuan was startled and realized that the SUV had stopped at some point.

Lu Xingchi leaned over, looking over her shoulder, examining her hands with Bei Nuan.

Fortunately, Bei Nuan had only done a manicure for herself. On a light pink transparent base, one nail was painted with a kitten, and the other with a cat's paw.

Bei Nuan smiled awkwardly. "I just painted it. Is it pretty?"

"Pretty," Lu Xingchi said, then asked, "What's wrong with your eyelashes?"

Bei Nuan suddenly remembered that she had just lengthened and thickened her eyelashes for fun and forgot to change them back.

"I just put on fake eyelashes. You wouldn't understand girls' stuff." Bei Nuan said, batting her fan-like eyelashes to fool him. "Why did you stop the car?"

"To see what you're doing. I feel like you're very busy."

Lu Xingchi started the car again.

Bei Nuan thought: He probably didn't see it, right?

They didn't arrive at the legendary Salun City until midnight.

Salun City looked very different from Faman Ancient City. It was a modern city. The city was not big, and the buildings were not tall, mostly only five or six stories high. Most of the buildings were gray and white, and the windows were decorated with exotic patterns.

The most conspicuous thing in the city was a row of high walls built along the city, stretching into the distance where they couldn't be seen.

It was midnight now, but the city was very lively.

The roar of guns and artillery could be heard everywhere. Airplanes roared overhead at low altitude. Military vehicles full of soldiers came and went. Many were busy setting up obstacles on the streets in the city, as if they were preparing for street fighting in advance.

Soldiers stopped Lu Xingchi's car.

Lu Xingchi got out of the car to negotiate. After a while, he was led to a residence.

It seemed to be the home of a local wealthy man. The large black iron gate was wide open. Outside was a large lawn, but it had been trampled into mud by the military vehicles that were parked there.

Inside were courtyards and several buildings.

Many soldiers in Alliance uniforms were coming and going. It seemed that this was their headquarters.

After waiting for a while, Bei Nuan and the others were taken to a room inside the central mansion, where they met the commander of Salun City.

The commander was called Luo Yuan. He was a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties who looked shrewd and capable, with sharp eyes, a straight back, and deep nasolabial folds on his lips, as if he was used to giving orders.

But his attitude towards Lu Xingchi and the others was very gentle.

He got straight to the point. "Yan Teng has already told me. What he said sounds like a myth, but he is my prized student, and I know that he would never lie to me. So you can really deal with mutated zombies?"

Du Ruo replied, "I can. As long as you let me out of the city, I can find the mutated zombies."

"We have several helicopters that have been looking for mutated zombies outside," Luo Yuan said. "But there are too many zombies outside, and they are hiding too well. We can't find them at all. Are you sure you have a way?"

Du Ruo said in a firm tone, "I'm looking in a different way. I'll definitely be able to find them."

He could sense where the mutated zombies were, so of course he could find them.

Luo Yuan pondered, his brow furrowed.

"There's another problem. Yan Teng said that I know zombies won't attack you, but the war is too tight now. The zombies are about to break through the blockade. I can't temporarily stop the fire at this time. If I let you out like this, you may be taking a big risk."

What he meant was that the shells had no eyes and didn't care whether it was a zombie or Du Ruo. They would explode indiscriminately.

Du Ruo wasn't afraid. "Then let's gamble?"

Lu Xingchi interjected, "You said you have helicopters? I can sit in a helicopter and protect him in the air."

His tone didn't sound like he was joking. Luo Yuan looked at Lu Xingchi curiously. "How will you protect him?"

"Of course I have a way." Lu Xingchi refused to say. "Let me get on the helicopter, follow Du Ruo, and protect his safety. Only then can he free up his hands to deal with the mutated zombies."

Bei Nuan understood that with Lu Xingchi protecting him in the air, no bullets or shells would hit Du Ruo.

With the experience of Faman Ancient City, even if what Du Ruo and Lu Xingchi said was outrageous, Luo Yuan still agreed.

The defense line was in critical condition. It was the last moment. Anything could be tried, and there was no loss.

Bei Nuan whispered to Lu Xingchi, "Can I go with you?"

"You stay here with Jiang Fei and the others."

Lu Xingchi rubbed her head, then smiled and said, "Don't worry. We won't be long. We'll be back in a while, and then we'll go to the safe zone together."

Bei Nuan stared at him in disbelief.

Has this person lost his mind? Why is he setting up a flag for no reason?

Bei Nuan quickly said, "Don't talk nonsense. Maybe you won't be able to find the mutated zombies at all, and you'll encounter accidents on the way back to the city and won't be able to return. After desperately returning, the road will be blocked, the tires will explode, and you'll get sick and have a fever. It'll be especially pitiful even if you want to get into the safe zone."

Everyone: "…"
