But things did not happen as Zhang Zhiyin had expected.

Hearing the uproar, Ah Lan came over. She asked with a pair of raised eyebrows, “What happened?”

You Huo who was originally behaving with an unbearable insolence towards Zhang Zhiyin immediately assumed an obedient attitude: “No, Sister Lan, nothing happened.”

This was a totally different impression of Boss Yu Huo in Zhang Zhiyin’s mind. Zhang Zhiyin looked at You Huo hesitantly and briefly told Ah Lan what happened.

This was not any big issue and Ah Lan quickly ordered Zhang Zhiyin to give Yu Huo another bowl of porridge. Now it was still in the earlier stage of the apocalypse, so food was not as scarce as in the later stage. Ordinary people could rely on the relief to fill up their stomachs at this time.

After distributing the food, Zhang Zhiyin said casually, “That man just now was so fierce. I thought he would hit me.”

Sister Lan smiled and shook her head. “He dared not.”

Zhang Zhiyin was a little puzzled. In the current development of the game scenario, Boss You Huo was powerful, aggressive and was courting hatred in all ways. However, because of the indistinct support from Dr. Y behind this powerful fire ability, many people were made helpless. What was there he didn’t dare to do?

The next few days he was so bored that he began to observe Yu Huo secretly. He soon discovered that the crux of the problem was that – the current Yu Huo was just an ordinary person who had not awaken any powers. In contrast, Sister Lan was a well-known water ability powerhouse in Lihua Shopping Mall.

Zhang Zhiyin didn’t know what Yu Huo did before the apocalypse, but now the current him knew how to set his dish based on the person. He treated the ability users honestly and respectfully. When he learned that Zhang Zhiyin also had an ability, his attitude towards him grew respectful.

It was a world of difference from his image of a public enemy that was the Boss’s underling.

Zhang Zhiyin was faintly appalled.

When playing the game, everything was set; the identity background of all the characters was set, and the plot progression schedule and time nodes were controlled by the game company.

Even in the game world, time and space inverted and overlapped — according to the game plot, in the eyes of the players who left M City after completing the novice task, the city should have been a dead city captured by zombies; but for the newer players who just entered the game, their time was still set at the beginning of the apocalypse where M City had not yet been captured, and they still have to complete a series of tasks in the Lihua Shopping Mall. All players were in the same game, but the information conveyed by the game plot was quite different.

But now, he was in a complete and integrated world, set at the beginning of the apocalypse. Mini Boss Yu Huo hadn’t awakened his ability yet and was ridiculed and getting eye rolls from the people here. The survivors of Lihua District in M City were seeking temporary shelter and waiting for further rescue in the small safe area centered on Lihua Mall. They were completely unaware that this area would become a forbidden zone in a month time.

It also meant that he was now living in a single linear timeline reality. Destruction was really destruction; it wouldn’t just be words and pictures conveyed by the game plot. Death and destruction would be completely irreversible.
