Chapter 65: Foreign Intervention Detected!

Inside a three-story office building, Liu Yun, Lan Zuancheng, and Gu Zhenwei were peeking out from the corner of a hallway, stacked on top of one another like a stack of tofu.

While Gu Zhenwei and Lan Zuancheng were observing a group of people from above her head, Liu Yun was in the middle of a panic because her System’s alarm kept blaring inside her mind.

[Warning! Warning! Warning!]

[Foreign intervention detected!]

As the warnings repeated nonstop in her mind, Liu Yun suddenly recalled the first time she fell into this Apocalypse World. At that time, the same warning had also sounded in her mind.

Recalling the bloody scene she had witnessed—the battlefield filled with torn human corpses and scattered zombie body parts—she shuddered in horror.

’No way! Is there another Zombie Emperor in this world besides Ye Xuan?!’

Her eyes widened in shock as this thought filled her mind.

While she was panicking and gripped by fear, the group of people walked down the hallway, led by a man wearing a blue suit and a young woman in a white dress.

Hugging the woman’s slim waist as they walked, the man casually asked, "Yan Yan, is there really a treasure in this broken place?"

Liu Ruyan smiled sweetly at Ye Jin. "Mhm. I heard from my father that this place was owned by the Ruan Group before the descent of the Blood Moon."

Hearing this, Ye Jin looked around, but all he could see were ordinary office rooms and meeting rooms.

After briefly looking around, he said, "So what if this place was owned by the Ruan Group? There’s nothing here except those supplies stored in the warehouses outside."

When she heard this, disdain flashed across Liu Ruyan’s eyes, but it disappeared before anyone could notice.

Chuckling lightly, Liu Ruyan asked, "Elder Brother Jin, you don’t really think that this place is just a warehouse, right?"

When she said this, Ye Jin’s interest was piqued. He raised an eyebrow and playfully asked, "What? Did Uncle also tell you some secret about this place that I don’t know?"

Seeing that he was interested in this topic, Liu Ruyan leaned closer to Ye Jin and whispered beside his ear,

"You will know when you see it later~."

As her soft breath brushed past his ear, Ye Jin shuddered slightly, and his heartbeat quickened. Staring at her red lips and beautiful face, he suddenly became thirsty.

He licked his lips, leaned down to lightly bite Liu Ruyan’s ear, and whispered in a deep voice, "You are really a vixen. Just you wait. I will deal with you tonight."

Hearing this, Liu Ruyan blushed, then shyly punched his chest. "Pervert~."

While the two of them were teasing each other, the other people walking behind them vigilantly scanned their surroundings.

Hiding around the corner of the hallway, Gu Zhenwei almost vomited his lunch. "Yuck! These two are as disgusting as always. I need water to cleanse my eyes."

Raising his eyes, Lan Zuancheng looked at Gu Zhenwei, who looked like he had just swallowed a mouthful of flies. Looking at his brother’s disgusted expression, he shook his head helplessly.

Looking down at Liu Yun, he noticed her pale face.

Startled by how pale she looked, Lan Zuancheng quickly grabbed her shoulders and worriedly asked, "Younger Sister Liu, what’s wrong with you? Are you alright?"

Hearing this, Gu Zhenwei’s expression turned serious as he asked, "What happened to her?"

Pulled out of her thoughts, Liu Yun slowly regained her senses. She looked at Lan Zuancheng and Gu Zhenwei.

After a moment of silence, she blinked twice, then shook her head. "I-I’m fine. Just a little dizzy after squatting for too long."

When they heard this, Lan Zuancheng and Gu Zhenwei let out a long sigh of relief.

Taking out a bottle of mineral water from his backpack, Lan Zuancheng opened the cap and said, "Here, drink some water. You will feel better."

Liu Yun didn’t refuse and accepted the water. After taking a few small sips, she calmed down and said, "Thank you. I’m fine now."

Lan Zuancheng took the mineral water from her, then asked, "Can you walk now?"

"Mhm." Liu Yun nodded. Turning toward the hallway, she added, "Let’s go and follow them."

Seeing that Ye Jin and his team had walked far away, Lan Zuancheng put the mineral water back in his backpack, then said, "Let’s go."

With him leading the way, Liu Yun and Gu Zhenwei followed closely behind.

On their way, the System’s warning was still blaring inside Liu Yun’s mind. Unable to handle the sounds any longer, she called out to the System.

’System, come out!’

The moment she called it, the System’s warning stopped. A second later, the System’s mechanical voice replaced the loud and annoying warning sounds.

[Host, what can I help you with?]

Liu Yun didn’t waste any time and directly asked, ’System, what’s wrong with that warning?’

She waited for a moment, but the System didn’t say anything.

Frowning slightly, she thought, ’This System is pretending to be dead again. It’s always like this whenever I ask something crucial.’

Feeling unhappy with the System’s silent treatment, Liu Yun angrily said, ’System, I want to report you!’

When she said this, the System finally responded to her.

[Player, what has this System done that caused you to report me?]

Rolling her eyes, Liu Yun really wanted to point at the System’s nose at that moment. Unfortunately, the System had no physical body, so she could only imagine herself poking the System’s nose until it turned into a pancake.

After a few seconds of silence, she accused, ’You are abusing me!’

Not understanding the reason behind these words, the System asked again, [Player, what kind of abuse has this System done to you?]

Liu Yun snorted, then replied, ’You gave me the silent treatment and acted cold toward me! You are mentally abusing me!’

Inside Liu Yun’s sea of consciousness, the System rolled its eyes as it typed something on the virtual keyboard floating in front of it.

What to do if your host is a drama queen?! Help! I need an answer immediately!

After pressing the send button, the System asked, [Player, what do you want to know?]

Knowing that this was her chance to find out more information from the System, Liu Yun’s eyes lit up.

Without wasting even a second, she asked, ’System, explain the foreign intervention to me in detail. What is it? Who is responsible for it? And why do I get this warning when I encounter this group of people?’
