Variety: I Loaded the Dream Game

Is this good news or bad news?Yukinoshita didn't know either, but anyway, if she wanted to know the answer behind this, she had to live first.

And to survive in this doomsday world, she alone is not enough.She was very impressed by a sentence Xia Zhi once said: People can live alone, but they cannot live alone.

No matter how stubborn she is, she has to admit that without Xia Zhi, she would not be able to live as well in this world as she is now.Although that person's personality is not very pleasing, but sometimes he is unexpectedly very reliable.

"Speaking of which, it's almost time for him to come back."

Yukinoshita looked up at the clock hanging on the wall, and frowned slightly.

Logically speaking, the boy should have come back for dinner at this time in the past, but now it's almost past meal time, and the dishes on the table are getting cold, but there is still no sign of him returning.

Is something wrong?

Looking out of the window, Yukinoshita saw that the originally clear sky began to darken. Looking at the gradually cloudy sky, she couldn't help feeling a little worried.

Chapter 10 The First Rainstorm

Xia Zhi did run into a little trouble - he couldn't find his way back.

Because the area around the academy had been visited by him in the past month or so, he wanted to explore farther afield, but unexpectedly opened the area marked on the map by accident.

Just when Xia Zhi was thinking about whether to spend some dream points to update the map, the sky suddenly turned gloomy, and soon it rained heavily.

For easy packing, he now drives a minivan with his harvest from this morning in the back.

Gasoline cans and canned snacks are not afraid of rain, but comic books and some poetry anthologies and novels that Yukinoshita likes are packed in cardboard boxes, and it will be troublesome if they are soaked by rain.

In order to avoid the rain, Xia Zhi temporarily drove the car to an underground garage, preparing to go back when the rain stopped.

"I hope Yukinoshita-san can leave some food for me."

After cleaning up the zombies in the underground garage, Xia Zhi looked at the continuous heavy rain outside and sighed.

It is definitely impossible to rush back at meal time, and I don't know how long the rain will last, I just hope it will stop before dark, otherwise he may have to go back in the dark.

Xia Zhi, who had nothing to do, sat back in the car and began to sort out what he had gained during this period of time in his heart.

In the past month, he and Yukinoshita cleaned up the zombies in Xunzhiqiu Academy, drove two large trucks to block the school gate, and repaired some damaged walls. Stronghold] and [Empty the Zombies in the Academy] two side missions, and got a reward of 150 dream points.

Coupled with some small side tasks and occasional achievement rewards, he has obtained a total of more than 200 dream points, excluding the dream points used to repair the generator, battery and school wall, and various other consumptions, he is currently There are 173 dream points left.

What can 173 dream points do?He tried it before Xia Zhi. In this dungeon, only 400 dream points are needed to revive a dead person, which is unexpectedly very cheap. That is to say, the points he currently has can almost resurrect half a person.

I just don’t know if such a modification will have any effect on Yukinoshita. If it works, it means that the girl has an extra life. Even if she accidentally dies one day, I still have the hope of resurrecting her, so it won’t be in vain Watching the main quest fail.

Xia Zhi couldn't help yawning while thinking this way.

"Go to sleep first." He thought to himself.

He looked up and saw that there was no sign of the rain stopping outside, he put the seat down, pulled the quilt beside the seat to cover his body, found a comfortable position to lie down and closed his eyes.

……

When Xia Zhi woke up again, it was already afternoon.

The dim light and the continuous sound of rain reminded him that the rain outside was not over.

Xia Zhi raised his head and looked out the window, frowning slightly.

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that the rain didn't intend to stop, but it seemed to be getting bigger and bigger.

"Boom--!"

As if to confirm his thoughts, accompanied by a deafening thunder, the already heavy rain immediately became a little bit heavier.This is no longer an ordinary heavy rain, but to the extent that it can be called a storm.

"Something is not very good."

Xia Zhi felt a little worried.

The sound of rain and thunder will startle the zombies and make them restless in the state of "energy saving". Although the zombies in Xunzhiqiu Academy have been emptied and the surrounding defense measures have been taken, no one dares to Make sure no accidents happen.

Thinking of the girl who was left alone in the academy, Xia Zhi gritted her teeth, started the car and plunged into the rain.

The pouring rain blurred the car windows, and the raindrops kept beating against the front glass, making it difficult for him to see the road ahead.

Xia Zhi simply abandoned the pickup truck and found a heavy-duty truck on the side of the road. After spending two dream points to project the real-time map on the retina, he followed the path indicated by the dream navigation and drove to full power, regardless of the traffic on the road. There were no vehicles blocking the road or other obstacles, and it just crashed all the way.

Half an hour later, the surrounding roads gradually became familiar, and Xia Zhi, who had left the unfamiliar area, finally let go of his last guard and stepped on the accelerator to the end.

Amidst the roar of the engine, the speed of the car was pulled up to the limit. After driving like this for almost another hour, the familiar outline of the building in the distance finally appeared in front of his eyes.

At this time, the sky was completely dark, and the heavy rain fell amidst the lightning and thunder, and the teaching building in the distance seemed to be completely submerged in the storm.

Looking at the teaching building that was plunged into darkness, Xia Zhi noticed that the light belonging to the school life department was not on, and this discovery made his heart sink.

"squeak--!"

Xia Zhi didn't stop the car until it was about to hit the school gate.There was no time to drive away the truck that was blocking the door, so he opened the door and rushed directly into the rain.

He didn't feel much when he was sitting in the car, but when he got out of the car, he immediately realized how heavy the rain was.

The raindrops hit him hard, and the strong wind almost pushed him to the point where he couldn't walk. Xia Zhi quickly lowered his center of gravity, lowered his head and rushed towards the teaching building not far away.

"Snowy!"

He ran upstairs and roughly opened the door of the school's life department, but he didn't find the girl inside.

Where has she gone?

As soon as this question arose in Xia Zhi's mind, he heard the "bang bang" sound of the door being opened and slammed shut at the end of the corridor outside, which seemed to come from upstairs.

"Rooftop!"

Xia Zhi immediately reacted, turned around and ran out of the room, and rushed towards the rooftop.

Just halfway through the run, he saw the drenched girl running down the stairs. Although she was already in a mess, she still didn't let go of the two flower pots she was holding tightly in her arms.

Yukinoshita also quickly noticed the young man under the stairs, a momentary expression of surprise appeared on his face, and his tense expression also relaxed, as if he was relieved.

But in the next moment, she paid the price for her slack nerves. She seemed to trip over something accidentally, and she fell forward uncontrollably.

"what……"

Yukinoshita Yukino closed her eyes subconsciously, almost predicting the pain she felt from all over her body after falling down the stairs.

however……

"Bangdang-!"

The sound of the flower pot breaking came, but the expected shock and pain did not appear, and she felt herself falling into a warm embrace.

She slowly opened her eyes, and found that she was sitting on the ground tightly protected by someone. Apart from her heart beating a little faster after being frightened, she was not injured in any way.

On the other hand, it was Xia Zhi, who took two steps back and fell to the ground because of being bumped, causing his buttocks to hurt.

"You may need to lose weight." He tactfully offered his suggestion to the girl.

"Don't you think it's a bad thing to blame your own powerlessness on others, and even go so far as to personally attack you, Xia Zhi?"

While talking, Yukinoshita broke free from the boy's arms.

She took a few short breaths to calm down her disordered breathing, then dragged herself and sat down on the wall of the corridor next to her, watching the fragments of flowerpots and soil scattered on the ground and fell silent.

"……thanks."

After a while, Xia Zhi, who was rubbing his butt, heard the girl's voice of thanks coming from his ear.

He didn't respond, but just raised his head and looked up the stairs, where the door to the roof was still rattling in the strong wind.

"The roof door was blown open by the wind, and the door frame is broken and cannot be closed." Yukinoshita explained in a slightly weak voice: "The battery pack seems to have been damaged by water, and two solar panels were broken. The flowers and plants planted in the pots were thrown away, trying to save some vegetables as much as possible, but the wind and rain were too strong, I was busy for a long time and only transplanted a few plants into the pots..."

... just broke two pots.

She didn't say the latter sentence.

"It doesn't matter, batteries and vegetables don't matter, as long as you are fine." Xia Zhi shook his head, stood up from the ground, came to the girl and stretched out his hand to her: "How, can you still stand up? "

Yukinoshita nodded, took his hand and stood up from the ground.

She gathered her wet hair from her forehead to behind her ears, took a few breaths and said, "I left some food for you, it should be cold by now, I'll go and heat it up for you."

After finishing speaking, she planned to walk towards the classroom of the Academy Life Department, but before she could take two more steps, she felt her feet go soft, and she fell forward...

Chapter 11 The Sick Maiden

Yukinoshita Yukino caught a cold.

The weak girl could only lie on the bed at this moment, her face was pale, her forehead was terribly hot, and even the breath she exhaled was hot.

The rain outside still didn't stop, and in order to take care of Yukinoshita who was sick, Xia Zhi had to temporarily give up the plan to go out to explore.

Fortunately, he had taken care to bring some medicine back before, otherwise it would be really difficult for him to face the current situation.

Seeing that Yukinoshita's condition had obviously improved after taking the medicine, Xia Zhi temporarily gave up the idea of ​​using dream points, took a basin of cold water and sat next to the girl, wet the towel and replaced it for her. Get warm towels.

"Let's save some water." Yukinoshita said weakly.

When the battery pack is broken, the water pump can no longer be used, and there is not much water stored, so she thinks it is better not to waste water in this way.

"It's okay, I caught the rain." Xia Zhi replied.

Yukinoshita: "..."

"I lied to you." Xia Zhi said with a chuckle.

Although rainwater looks clean, it contains all kinds of invisible dust and microorganisms. It is not suitable for normal people to take a bath, let alone wipe the body of a sick person with weak resistance. .No matter how bad the taste is, Xia Zhi will not do such a thing.

Yukinoshita turned her head to the other side, intending to ignore him.

Xia Zhi couldn't tell if the girl was really angry, so she could only fall silent, turned her head and looked out of the window, listening quietly to the howling wind outside and the sound of raindrops beating on the window.

"...You said, can we go back?"

After a long time, he heard a girl's voice that seemed to be asking.

"Of course." Xia Zhi replied without doubt.

"What if we can't go back?" The girl's voice gradually lowered: "If we can't find a way to go back, will we have to stay here forever, for a few years, decades, until one day Die alone, or be killed by them..."

Perhaps because of her illness, the girl finally showed a fragility different from her usual strong appearance. In normal times, she would never say these things to Xia Zhi, let alone show her inner weakness like this In front of the boy.
